Lexington, July 24.?Using for his theme, the "Home and Home Influence," the Rev. J. Walter Daniel of 'Columbia, presiding elder of the Columbia district, preached a startling sermon in the Methodist church here this afternoon. During the course of his eloquent discourse, Dr Daniel declared with feeling that "Columbia, the capital of the proud State of South Carolina, is the wickedest city south of Philadelbia." He said that there were more debauched young men and young v/onen in and around Columbia than in any other section of the State.

"This," he said, "was the worse thing that could ever happen to any child. He said that he did not believe in endowments of any kind, whether for school or what not, that every child should make his own mark in life. "Teach the hfart and mind and all else that is necessary in life will come," he said. -H FREIGHT RATES UNFAIR. Rockingham People Allege that Satis* factory Routes and Rates are Refused by Railroads. Washington, July 23.?That satis.'astory th -ough routes and joint rate: 'jetween Rockingham, N. C., and various points in South Carolina not on !y do not exist but are refused by tin railroads, is the burden of the com plaint filed today with the interstate commerce commission. The complaint .vas instituted by the manufacture): freight department of Rockingham, N C., representing the cotton mills r that place, against the Seaboard Ai: Line railway and the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. It is explained that tl > rates charged by the carriers on cotto: >iece goods from Rockingham ti >oints in South Carolina are unreasonable and discriminatory, because t;.i ailroads refuse to establish througl routes and Joint rates. The commis don is reauested to reauire the ra; oads to establish through routes arc joint rates and schedules of charge that are lower than the present rate.1 Fatten Declares He Has Left Speculathe Arena for Good.

TIDE TURNING TOWARD SOUTHJ < IT'S ATTRACTION'S BEING SEEN i Man} Who Hare Lived In Frozen North ' Are Beginning: to Realize Advantages * t of the South. E Washington, July 24.?A returning 1 tide of Americans and immigration j from Canada and indications of an enorraeous influx of people from the ! Northwest, including western Canada, to southeastern States next Tall add winter are attracting the close attention of immigration and indust ial authorities. The bureau of immigration officials are now awaiting an aarly report from Commissioner Clark at Montreal, before discussing the impeuding influx. Industrial experts say the movement to the southeastern States will begin next October. A recordbreaking migration in this direction occurred last year, drawing upon the population of the central states, especially Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Many of these people went to southern Georgia and Florida and southern Alabama. Coming South. Reports of a number of colonizing companies have been investigating valuable large tracts in various portions of the Gulf States during the past few months. A recent report to the land and industrial department of the Southern Railway showed that since last May about 50,000 acres of land in southern Alabama had either been purchased or was about to be obtained for nortliweste n firms and corporations for locating settlers. ^ Another achievement is that of bJM ! iMiini?y^B Deposit Yc In the oldest, larg Bankjn the county, its (Protection to Dep all the other banks o Wit A per cent, interest cc * in Sayings IE BANK OF Establish* Cher*w nf cinvaka from wphtern Penn- f X '/UiWIlJ V4 U1VIMHW ~ ?? sylvania to southern Alabama.

I CORN PRODUCTION NAY BREAK RECORD BOTS A1.L TAKINCJ PAKX IS '.YOJIL Reports Indicate That South Carolina Farmers Are Taking Unusual Interest in the Corn Contests. Never before In the history of the State has there been so much interest in the production of corn and the present indications are that the slogan of South Carolina farmers "50,000,000 bushels of corn for 1910," will be realized. Without considering the reports to be made from the various counties to the department of agriculture as c to the number of bushels of corn pro- s duced, the increased production is v evident to one going about the State on the railway cars. In the past i where there were broad acres of cot- s ton are now found fields of corn. j, The corn crop for the 9tate last 8 year was approximately 37,000,000 v bushels. The crop last year was 5 8,000,000 bushels greater than for 1 the year 1908. For the States of the y South there was an increase of 13,- y 000,000 bushels and 8,000,000 was ac- n credited to South Carolina. 0 If the 50,000,000 bushel yield Is M realized in South Carolina for the y present year, it will mean that the n farmers of the State will be shipping a corn away and not sending millions t: of dollars to the West for the crop as d has been the custom in the past. ] Farmers are Thinking. e Not only haB the corn production of the State increased but the farmers 8 by the Increase hare shown that they are using more, thought, and intelligent methods in the cultivation not >11 ihe rioor buring an agricultural in- t atitute as to how a large yield of corn s was secured. "The people of the State would ra- h (.her discuss the best method of corn 1 production than politics," said a well p known man several days ago. 1 There are in South Carolina over a 3,000 boys, the oldest not twelve years n of age, who have planted one acre s of corn during the present year. This ? "*?!? I? oa fViA fnonlt r\ f Q v>ui iv i o ucu15 uuiic ao tut ?vou*b vi ? the work of the United States farm demonstration work. The sum of $8,- n 000 will be given as prizes to the r boys. This means that 3,000 young people of the rural districts are train- ^ ing themselves to be intelligent farmers of the future. Large Yields. When the reports have been made g during the coming fall it is expected d that some reports will be received that will attract national attention. It is e believed that there will be several v boys to produce as many as 200 bush- f els on one acre of ground. Five years 1, ago the farmers of the State wepe i, content with from 8 to 25 bushels to h the acre. At the present time there u are scores of 100-bushel to the acre 0 fields in the State. b The national department of agri- y culture through the farm demonstra- t tion office is lending every effo t to g bring about an intelligent agriculture a in this and the other States of the South and much work of an effective j nature has been done in this State. 1 Besides the boys' corn clubs there f are many farmers in the State corn contest and some interesting results are expected from this feature of the work. In Clarendon county there are 143 boys planting an acre of corn. The j boys'* corn clubs of that county are , under the direction of a special dem- j onstration agent and the results ac- ( complished will be watched with in- r terest by the national office of farm E demonstration work. \ ?.
