This record 's sus tained, however, by Judge Ernest Gary wherever he holds court. His ability as a presiding Judge is recog nized all. over the State, and whenever hn takes his Beat on the benoh to pre side over a court the lawyers know tnat he means business and that they have to be ready to transact whatever business they have, and they get a "hustle" on, and the result is there is no lagging, no tardiness, but prompt ness and expedition, and a clearance of the docket.

There was a large number present, and a delightful dtiy was enjoyed by all. Mr. Newton Kel ly called the meeting to order and In troduced Mr. B. Harris, of Anderson, President of the State Farmers Union, who made a. very interesting and in structive address. If there were any present who were not Farmers Union men after hearing his address we do not see how they could help becoming Interested In so helpful and worthy an organization. Mr. P. T. Bruce, who is tho presi dent of the County Union, was also f>res?nt and mado a very earnest and natructivo address, in faotono of the best we have ever heard him make, and It showed Very dearly that he had glvon much thought to the work of the Union. He was followod with a few remarks by Messrs, B B. Clarke, \V. A. Sohrock and O. W Birohmore. After the speaking dinner wan serv ed. A long table had l>een provided and the good ladlos did .their part well The picnic was held At the now graded aohool building which is being erected by Mr. Neal Wilson for tho trustees of that district.

I Editor The Waters Messenger: ? i Kindly allow me to inform the people of Kershaw County and Camden City sumo important untaiU with rwferenoe to the meeting on the grounds of The Sumter Memorial Academy, at State burg, on the lijtb diy of August next; of which meeting they have before been fullv advertised, as the occasion of the Inauguration of the Demoustratioq Farm work to be done by the Ubited Scales Department of Agriculture, in connection with the school, and to be addressed by Dr. Seamen A. Knapp in charge of the Bureau of Plant Industry as Held agent of this work. Dr. Knapp's reputation up a scienti fic agriculturist and platform orator is hardly equalled by that of any man on (be American continent. All who at tend the meeting-may rest assured that in this address alone there will be af forded full 'compensation for all the pains incurred in attendance, eveu thohgb they have to come long dis tances. It will be instructive and in spiring and entertalng In the highest degree, we may safely predict. It has been my good fortune to hear Dr. Knapp, under the hlgest expectations of pleasure and profit, when he not onty filled the measure of these expec tations, but overflowed it. Besides Dr. Knapp, there will be several speakers of distintlon. Among others we have luvitod the presence of two experts from the Department of Ajploulture to talk on cattle and fruit raising. We nave also Invited eminent men connected with agrioutural work In South Carolina and have their prom ise to attend. Among theso Is Bon. E. J. Watson, Commissioner of Agri culture for South Carolina, who will preside and Introduce Dr. Knapp, Mr. Barrib, President of the Farmers Union aud Mr. Mclver Williamson, the most famous corn planter of the United States. Musicians will be there, who with instrument and voices, will contribute finely to the occasion. Dr. Knapp is to have as much of the morning peroid as he desires, com mencing his address at 11:30 The hour set this late in ihe day that those coming by rail or from Ion*; distances by pri vate conveyance, may all reach there in time to hoar the whole of his address There will be a recess for dinner. The basket picnic arrangement has been decided upon. The grounds are remarkably well adapted for pleasant dinners to be had in groups. For be sides the numerous umbrageous oake in the lawn and groves, there are sev eral lanes, two hundred yards long, of unbroken shade, afforditg ample accomodations for large or small as semblages of families or friends. The water from the springs on the school-grounds is of the very best quality and easily obtained for man or beast. In the event of raiu, the large school building will comfortably shelter many hundreds of people Taken all in all, we doubt if such attractive and excellent picnic grounds can bo found in South Carolina, as those which th6 public is now invited to come and thereto seethe exceeding ly important work of asfricutural and horticutural instruction in rural schools, Inaugurated by the great National Department of Agriculture, for the betterment of country life, in this state, for all the future genera tions. The appropriateness of having tho work of inaugaratlon on the anniver sary of Gen. Sumter's birth is appar ent, and especially fortunate that it occurs at a suitable season of the year for the farmers to attrnd to give crop ostlmates and enter upon plans for the next year's operations. As we are gathered together in signt of the hand some monument placed on Gen. Sum ter's grave by the General Assembly of South Carolina, all present will no doubt be reminded that If Gen. Sum ter is properly memorialized, jEfjtep&t not stop at the ereotlon of testiamriih. in granite to his career as a soldier and as a statesman; but we must like wise testify to the people who have come after him that he was not only reat in these but waB also full of in ustrlal enterprises for the help of his country and that no feature in the memorial work Is more necessary to Its completion than the Industrial branch of educatlou. I. therefore, In behalf of The Memo rial Academy, and the Stateburg Im provement League most earnestly ask the people to join in the exercises of this ocassion, and relying upon the hearty cooperation of the friends of education and all patriotic spirits and of all who ^re resolved upon the lm? rovoment of rural conditions, as the est means to our whole country's advancement. I count-, beforehand, the day such a success, as will make proud the hearts of all participants in its exorcises and become memorable in the history of Sumter County. John J. Dargan.
