Lester Reed, of the Hamburg
section of Macon County, was
In Franklin last Saturday, en
route to Atlanta with a truck
load of cabbage.
And thereby hangs a tale.
For if Mr. Reed were the onlj
farmer in this county whb wa.
hauling cabbage to market b.
the truck load, this would be i
personal mention column .item
instead of a news story.
But he isn't. Scores of other
commercial growers have been
busy recently marketing theil
crops.
This county's annual catobage
crop, as a matter of fact, sells
for approximately $150,000.
Cabbage is grown commercial
ly in the Hamburg, Gold Mine,
Scaly, and other nearby com
munities, and is marketed in
Asheville, Knoxvllle, South Car
olina cities, and Atlanta. Macon
County cabbage often is flown
from Atlanta to the New York
market.
W. J. (Bill i Blaine, of Blaine's
Seed store, said this week that
at least 50 of- his seed custom
ers buy cabbage seed in the
spring in sufficient quantities to
put out cabbage plants by the
acre.
On a basis of his seed sales
to commercial growers, he esti
mates that-between 3,000,000 ana
5,000,000 pounds ? that is, some
2,000 tons ? of cabbage is grown
commercially in this county
each year.
This year, he said, the price
has ranged from three to four
cents per pound.

The Press".

A BIKE WITH A PAST
ROCK HILL. S. C. ? Frank Giles, a textile mill worker here, has been
riding the same ancient, old-style bicycle for 38 years and hopes to use
it for a few years more.
Why, you ask. with cotton mill wages having doubled in the last
five years, doesn't he go down to ?
the store and get a new one?
The answer Is simple . . Mr.
Giles can't ride a more modern
bike which has a "coaster" brake
because he has no feet? that is.
real feet. But he has a couple of
awfully good artificial ones. In fact,
.since he bought his bike he's worn
out three pair of artificial feet
Nearly fifty years ago Mr. Giles
lost his two extremities in a rai!
road accident. Refusing to let t?
handicap down him, he acquired j
and learned to use a pair of arti
ficial feet. Daily commutation to his
job at the Highland Park mill posed
a problem for a while until he
learned to operate his bicycle . . .
the "Old Faithful" he's still using
today.
The manager of thte mill. W. B.
Shannon, says Giles is a very capa
and efficient worker, and one Is
Uy conscious of his handicap.
