how a distribution of this kind would
work out, consider few of the coun-
ties at random:

about $4,000 and has 180 miles OF
road on the State system, of which
about seventy-ive miles will be con-
structed or provided for at the end
of the present year. The remaining
105 miles could be graded and sur
faced with sand-clay at Acost not
exceeding s525, 900, which would leave

Orangeburg and Clarendon counties

GOOD MONEY ON PEANUTS.
Marlboro Farmer Made 20 Bushels
and Half Ton Hay Per Acre.

At a time when the farmers are
at a loss to meet changed conditions,
it is perhaps timely to invite their
attention to peanut raising. 1t is
perhaps Ae one crop other than cot
ton that can be classeG as money
producer" At any rate those inter-
ested will be able to get some infor-
nation from the experiment made by
Mr.. John L. Mccall. He planted ten
acres this year and they will net more
than fifty dollars per acre. On the
acreage planted an average Of seven
ty bushels was harvested, with a half
ton of hay. Peanuts are quoted at
the rate of $1.50 to $2.20 per bushel
and hay at $4,000 ton.
Mr.. Mccall recommends the Virgin
ia Bunch for the trade and the Inn
proved Spanish for sale to the Oil
r1ills. He has made a study of the
peanut industry and will be glad to
talk to any one interested. Below
is given some data CLEANED from a
few minutes conversation.
Two and half bushels in the hull
will shell one half bushel and this
will plant one acre. Plant one pea
nut to the hill, fifteen inches in the
drill. Rows three feet wide.

using from 900 to 1,500 pounds per
acre, the amount of lime varying of
course according to the character Of
the soil. Plow three to four times.
no hoeing necessary if planted fiat.
Quit plowing when plants begin to
peg or bloom. Use point to rip up
in September and stack at once.
Mr.. Mccall estimates the cost to
be not more than $500 per acre.
This includes everything, labor, lime.
thrashing and land rental. He will
plant sixty acres another season by
giving each tenant four to five acres
to the horse. He has a thrasher
with 800 bushel capacity and will
thrash for the public at cost of ten
to fifteen cents per bushel.
There is a market for peanuts and
the oil mills are ready to buy. Some
of the mills are preparing literature
now which will be furnished the farm
ers in due time.-Pee Dee Advocate.

THE AFTERMATH


 The doctor stepped quickly forward from the foot of the bed. Until he moved I do not think that anyone of us had dreamed that Kitty was dead-or even dying! At the sound John Storm looked up vacantly and then quickly back to Kitty's face. Once more he bent and kissed her lips and then lovingly, re- ,uctantly, as though loathe to say farewell, he drew the sheet up over her head.
 Then he raised me to my feet and without even a backward glance he walked quietly to the door and ] went with him.
 As we reached the street the dark ness of night had come. The grey foG of California had settled down and its ghostly fingers seemed to clutch my heart. I tried to keep my mind upon the street lights simmer ing through the mist for l felt that otherwise I would go mad in this grey world peopled with ghosts. Even as I clung to John Storms arm I had a feeling as though even he were not human. My whole being seemed to resolve itself in desire to hear a human voice and then, from out the night came:
