This was followed by one-horse buggy, then came a two-horse car riage and last came one of th ? most modern automobiles that could be secured in Anderson county. It show ed the progres which is being made In a very concreate and impressive wa y. The ladies meetings were very largely attended during the entire day. Mrs. Walker and Miss HuffiP.*" ton from Winthrop College, ?.1ra. Will ?niau, demonstrator from Green ville county and Miss Carlington, county demonstrator for Anderson county wero kept very busy with en thusiastic meetings all Jay. Prof. W. T.?. Whitfield. Winthrop College was busy all day With tho boys. They met In the forenoon to study livestock and h. the atu noon for a hike to the country. The exhibits by Col. K. J. Watsa i and Mr. Furntln Smith/ attracted large attendance. Holli exhibits wore nn agricultural education within themselves. Mr. Smith of Andornen la In the seed business and put on his exhibit at his expense and is staying with it lecturing to all who visit him on the value of helter seed and how I to Improve seed on the farm. \ At night Mr. R. E. Gr?bel, assist ant agricultural agent of the Agricul tural and Industrial Dcpartm** ?t of the Southern Ry. spoko to a ?cry large audience. Ile gavo an illus trated lecture using stereoptlcon views. Ills subject was. "Tho Nations Foundation." He submitted do pro mise that there were foui" elements in concrete which is thc best and longest wearing material mit of which a foundation can?be built; those four elements in tho foundation of our na tion as established by our English fathers which compare favorably with tlie four elemnts n concrete. When our English fathers landod In Jamestown. Va. they sali since we are the first people in the now land we want tn build a new and greater nation than bas ever been built, being tho first people here, lt devolves upon us to build the first portion of a build ing which ls the foundation. Out of want materai their conclusions Into action by going into the woods and cutting trees dragging them up and, building a log home, school, church and then clearing up the land, plow ing, planting and harvesting a crop and after this saying we will build these-four elements in the foundation of our nation, tor these olemcnts will anduro as long as tho nation lasts, If properly combined. Thc nation grew and prospered; t'.ieso principien were applied but as time went on peo ple congregated into the town:-, and cities and left the farms unsettled which wrought about an unbalanced conditions thst caused uneasiness on tho part of our government and they inquired tbc trouble. The first trou ble discovered was the lonely condi tion of the fanners and family, this they set about to correct by establish ing the rural free mall which put the Tanner in touch with the world. Next came Ingenious men with thc rural telephone which ?Mit the fermi. In ft 111 closer touch. The automobile followed shortening miles sad ocono tanning at J? ston Today mixing time* for thc farmer. In or- ' der for trie farmer to use economical ly the automobile Jt ls necessary to have good roads which we are rapid ly getting. Mr. Gr?bel urged co-operation among farmers as om? of the chief ( means towards better and more suc cessful farming. Ile begged the farmers to ge to- < gether and organize themselves. Tiny might beg the government a life time and the government might work with all UH mig it and if the farmers sat still they would ho no better off on?- hundred years from now than they are today. In order that we may keep the farm element in our foundation equally balam ( 1 with the other three it is necessary to make th0 farm attractive for thc good farmers wife. We are buying Improved machinery for thc farm but wo are buying very little improved machinery for the housewife. Lei a farmer, ?'very time he buys a new piece of machinery for himself buy an improved piece ot machinery for his wife to use in the home. Lets keep the wives content ed on the farm, for should they say "Hill I am not going to stay herc In this lonesome place and wear out my life in drudgery, when I can go to town and be relieved of all this and I nm going to take the children and move and you can como if you want to or stay as you choose." You know Hill always ebbqses to move to town and seems pretty well pleased with the plan. Yes! the good wife ru'rs many homes which account In a way for so many people leaving tho farm. IiOts make the life of the good farm ers wife happy. I^ast of all Mr. (?rahel, appealed In behalf of j the farmers boy. Give the hoy a chance to become a (armer and happy with his lot by giving him something besides the drudgery about tlio place. Turn the gasoline engine over to him and allow him to pump the water and saw the wood: yes! combine his muscle with his braid and ho will he contented to re main on the farm. The government has awakened to that fact, for they organzed tho boys corn clubs and girls canning clubs for the above reasons and^ they have succeeded In gettln gmany a boy and girl interest ed in farm ljfe. Mr. Gr?bel, said that ho had been making some Investigation and ns far as he had boen nh10 to ascertain, that out of over. 300,000 corn club boys during tho last eight years since it | had been organized, not one had ever 1 committed a crime sufficient to put him in Jail or send him to tho re formatory and yet the reformatories in some of our States were running over but nof one came from the corn club ranks. Why? DecauHe the boy had been given something to do that occupied his time along constructive , lines, Inspired him to higher attempts ( gave bim ambitions thnt hnd been lat ent in his bosom and opened a vision J far above the petty things that led to trouble and the reformatory. Mr. Gr?bel concluded by saying that he would rather be able to paint I < a smile on a freckled* boys cheek, inspire a throb of hopo In his bosom. J broaden his field of ambition and strengthen his backbone of determi nation, titan to be the artistic .Micheal Angelo who was able to reach up into the heavens and snatch therefrom an Angels soul, materializing it upon canvass with the gold-dust of a Bet ting sun and hand out to an admiring world his immortal 'Madonna; yes! I repeat: 1 would rather be able to paint a smile upon a freckled boys face, inspire a throb of hope in his bosom,' broaden his ifield of ambition and strengthen his backbone of de termination and pass out to an ad miring world an immortal man.
