SHOES THAT SATISFY 5 Town of Pi Entertain FARMERS' SOCIETY CELE BRATING 100TH ANNI VERSARY YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST DAY Will Last Until Thursday Night Today at Pendleton and ext at Clemson. yesterday marked the onenlng of the grand centennial celebration of the Formers Agricultural society at Pendleton and hundreds of people were present to hear li ic many speech es, seo t'.io exhibits, mingle together and to properly celebrate the one liundreth anniversary of that organi zation which has played BUCtl nu Im portant part in thc advancement of ?'.:e people of the upper section ol South Carolina. Music was furnish ed throughout the day by Jolly's band of the Zion school. Tho exercises proper were preced ed by a canning demonstration and a leclure by Miss Jayne C. Garllngton. Miss Carlington bad many beautiful exhibits of fruits, vegetables, etc., canned by thc girls of tho tomato club, arranged In the farmers' 'hall and these wore viewed by several hundred people daring thc course of tho day. These exhibits are very at tractive and Miss Gurllngton was the recipient of much praise yesterday be causo of the collection. Tho celebration exercise began al 10 o'clock on tho green just in th? rear of Die farmers' hall, where a ros trum and seats had been arranged. Prayer was offered by the Rev. M. M. Owens, pastor of the Methodist church followed by an address of welcome by Col. J. C. ritribling, presidoni of tho society and its oldest activ? member. This address was followed by one made by Mayor Eskew of Pen dleton. The principal speaker of the day was Mr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, Mr. John C. Calhoun and Mr. E. J. Watson, com missioner of agriculture for Soul' Carolina, being unable to attend. A telegram was read during the day from Mr. Watson expressing his re grets for not being able to represent and also a letter from Mr. Calhoun, who ls ill at his home in New York. Mr. Poe was delayed in reaching Pendleton several hours because of a wreck on the railroad bul he arrived before dinner and mudo his address. While tho people were awaiting Dae arrival of Mr. Poe Prof. J. N. Har per of Clemson college made an od Jrcss. Ho discussed thc boll weevil. ;ho necessity of fio farmer's for pre paring for Its arrival In this country ind the diversification of crops. Mr. l'oe began by complimenting :he Pendleton Farmers' society of lt: centennial celebration, stating that ibis was something that no other so ciety of b.ut kind was uble to do. ll' :omplimented tho membership of the prganlzation and the good wort they tad been doing. The subject of Mr. Poe's addrcer was, "The Organization of Counti> Communities," which was In part a? olio ws : "Tho neglected phase of tho ru- a problem ls its social.side. w?? r. ind must make farming more profit i ble. We must learn better me.- <?u >f keeping up soil-fertility, botte, pethods of cultivation bettor methoh if marketing. Nor can we rorrair rom reminding you that wo mu? lave a better system of education, a lystem genuinely adapted to the need: if country lifo instead of tho pre .^n; ?ys;tom so misfit that Mr. Herber, hilck haB rightly said that our conn , ry schools' today "aro nnt ru ra ichoola at alli they -rc ' ? r r city schools of fifty years ago, .nd bad copies at that.-' "Wo must therefore insure bettet ouching for the young and better acthods for the old. AU these things ire must do, but there ls yet another re must not lc;?ve undone. Wc mest lot neglect tho problem of building ip genuino community life in our ni al districts. As I havo said before, he rural problem. In its last analysts, a not- .ia:; more nor less than the' problem cf developing a satisfying ountry life-and such a life must re pond both to the social and material rants of man. It must be both fl* ancially and socially satisfying, 'arm Life Mast Be Both Financially and Socially Satisfying. "To emphasise and illustrate this oint let mo quote a starttngly sign! leant statement made by Dr. Thomas F. Carver, head of tho Rural Organ! ation Servio?. In aa address In Chl: ago only last month. To some it rill cortie ~wlth tte suddenness of a I reba ?I at night. He started out by eying that most people seem to as ume that all that Is necessary ls ur the fsvroer to pro^voe wisely anc ny and sell to advantage; that th? ural probier.i Sa solved aa soon as tie farmer has a satisfying income, lat Dr. Carver declared that, thia ls nly half trie problem, and than he lade thia telling statement: Paradoxical as it may teem, lt ls a tatter of actual observation that the ectlons of tho country where thc ind ls richest, where ?rope have e?n moat abundant, wher** land has cached ?he highest price and the inn owners attain to tbs very high st degree of prosperity, are the very oct lom* from which the farm owners ra retiring from the farm? most rap tly and loaring them to tenants. 'The same Idea was presented to <e at one OT thc best rural hl,fh shoota in the South when I made a address tnore a row weeks ago. his school has be?n a iced thing enc?eton ling Crowds for Individual boys and /?Iris who have taken advantage of it," one of t io most though: farmers" there said to me, 'but it bas been a had thing for the community. Boys come here, get an education and move to town. And they marry our bright est girls and take them to town nl 80.' Our Inevitable Destiny of Harmonious life. "Now why is this Why aro the boys und girls leaving this prosper our rural community wit li its rural : 1gli school? Why are they leaving j tho prosperous section* mentioned by lir. Carver, so that Iowa, tho richest agricultural Btate, yet shows a steadi ly declining population? As I see lt, there can be but one answer, lt iv that thc country life has not yet been adequately organized in recognition of tlie fact that man ls 'a social animal" -a truth whio'.i. Slr Horace Plunkett remarks '3 SB old a? Aristotale, but which i? really as old as Adam, of whom the Almighty "aid lt was not good for him to live and work alone. , "Tims we have the social instinct ar, old as the raco Itself, and bred to greater Imperiousness through lons centurie? of family, tribual, and feud al life. Instinctively wo feel that we should work with our fellowa in in dustrial relations as well as enjoy with them our hours of recreation. 'In all his politics, In all his econo mies, ia all his movements,' says a distinguished thinker, 'man is feeling' his way to -.vis inevitable destiny ol harmonious life." "There you have, in my opinion, the phrase which chiefly explains the al trmlng drift to the cities. For the nasses of workers thc impelling pow T ia not so nr.n-'i thc lure of gold or there is direr poverty In our cities 'han the country has ever known; but man. Instinctively a social animal, is indeed ever feeling his way to his inevitable destiny of harmonious life, '.hat ls to say, toward a life which "ully improves upon ail thc rich pos sibilities of comradship and of co operative action wit.-.' lils fellowa, In lustrlal, civic, and nodal: and hp ;oes to tho "city because he feels we lave not yet provided for the develop uent of these relations In our coun :ry district*." This is hardly one-fjfth of what Kr. Poe had to say, however. Ills ipeech, if printed In full, would take l?verai columns. 'In addition to tlc ibove he contrasted city life with ;ountry life, stated that a countrj community was alone without farm md void and that a community ls the inly social untlt known to our clvl lzatlon without def balte boundaries ind without machinery for self-ex >resslon and developement. He dis usaed tho necessity fo rlncorporat ng the rural community, the Impor ant work of a "Community League," :omrounity surwoys and community ivalry, and ended his magnificent .ddross with a flow of oratory stat ag that character, education and tome ownership was essential to the rood of community welfare. Dinner Hour. After Mr. Poe's address the dinner tour wa? anno-.mced, and the crowds cat:ered to tho various places where ountlful meals were being served or o the hospitable homes of t ie poo de of Pendleton. The ladies of thc lethodist and Presbyterian chnrchee lave two store rooms in which they ire serving meal? and these wert voil patronized yesterday. The ladles lavo plenty of help, plenty of gooc ood to serve, and the service is ex silent. The Afternoon Exercises. At 2 o'clock-tho speakers and th: copie again assembled on the greer or the exorcises of the.afternoon. Tho first speaker was Mr. W. M Danklin, agricultural secretary o be Charleston chamber of commerce nd demonstration agent for Charles an county. Mr. Franklin gavo somi nterestlng facts about the things be ag done In Charleston county 01 ?trlcultuOd lines, emphasizing thc {versification of crops, tho raisnij f vegetables, etc. . ?irv. W. H. Mills. Mr. Franklin was followed by Rev V,. H. Mills o? Clemson college, vic resident of tho society. Mr. Mills ddrcss was one of the most Interest ig features of the day.

That part referring to Mr. Striblln i as follows: "Hut I most mention the record I regresivo agriculture of the ma ho is now the president of Ute Pei eton Farmers' society.

"Some may be disposed to think that our president has been a man of words rather than of deeds, so I read a letter need that I fnd: 'J. C. Stab ling, Breeder of Jersey Cattle and Agricultural Horses at rossdale and Tip Top Farm-s, Also Supervisor As tubala Stock Farm and president of the South Carolina Percheron Nor man Horse Company.' "Mr. Stribling was the first man to bring Jersey cattle into South Car olina and Percheron horses in 1870.. Percheron stallion, Charlemagne, Monarch of the Wes! with Percheron "J t >.t the proof cf the pudding is the eating. 1 remember as a boy a sale that was the talk of the country; that of Lillie of Glenmere, to J. B. Turner for $1,000. This was a cow sold by Mr. Sirlbllng. which gave tiw gallons of milk per day. Just think of it, a cow selling for $1.000. "In 1880 after a visit to Mr. Charles Harrison, Pickonsville, Md., Mr. Stribling ?itilt a silo, and In 1881 won the prize of $50 offered by tho South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical society, at tv.e state fair for the best ensilage. "The cattle upon a thousand h?ls, thc silos now dotting the state, the Percheron horses found here and there, may trace their South' Carolina ancestry to tho president of the Pen dleton Farraers* society, Col. J. C. Stribling. After Mr. Mills' address Mr. J. C. Stribling introducid the only living member of tho seven who in tho - old hall there at Pendleton discussed the Founding of an agricultural college in -outli Carolina, which resulted in Clemson Coller-? of today. This man was Major Benjamin Sloan, who arose ind acknowledged the introduction. Mr. J. B. Morris of McClellanvllle wa? then introduced.

Continuous and Even Flow of Power I The eight cylinder motor has a reason many reasons. And the process of evolution whereby the Cole Motor Car Company arrived at the Eight is one staircase of logical facts. To begin with, let us take this one particular fact as a prime basis: Ever since engineers have been building internal combustion motors their biggest problem has been the lapse br interval or power-break between cylinder explosions. A power-break or lapse in the action of a motor is a very bad-a very uncomfortable-a very destructive thing. It racks the mechanism not only of the motor itself, but of the entire car as well. It jerks the life out of bearings and, worst of all, it wears passengers out and makes motoring uncomfortable. So engineers soon found that they would have to get rid of lapses. It rides like a cradle at all speeds; its spont aneous flow of even energy is ceaseless, and silent, and it travels all the way on high.
