Wednesday, Nov. 2, 1910. j | Split Log Drags and Forked Stick Dl?.u.l L. r ivftAivviiS' The split log drag is creating little short of a sensation. Steel blades seem to be antiquated utinsels in comparison. Where the split log drag is in use the roads are in splendid condition; elsewhere tho roads are gully groupes. How it is that a split log can bank a I better road than a road machine is hard to understand. "They say", however, that the split log is the proper thing. While the spilt log Is building roads I would It not not be well for some farmer to try the forked stick plow? They are very easy to make. Just take to the woods with an axe and find a tree that forks ] nicely, cut It down and then cut It off two feet below the fork. Sharpen one prong < of the fork, cut the other off three feet In length, bore a hole in it and, presto! you have an up-to-date plowstock for an Assyrian or a "Baloochistan Camel man". Another machine very much worn two or three hundred years ago, the log harrow, might prove useful in building road6 sua lor iarm use as well. It is easy to make. Slay an oak two feet in diameter take of It a cut eight feet long and drive spikes into it and all over it at extremely short intervals, then drive two large spikes into the middle of each end on which to fasten the shafts, hitch it to a camel or a bull elephant and you will be surprised to see the work that the thing will do. If the farmers would do aw/iy with their broad tired wagons and rubber tired bug. gies and use sleds for a while it would help the roads too. Let the rtmners of the sleds be made of good seasoned whlteoak cut abont five inches wide. No matter how much load you put on it the result is only to pack the road the better and to give, it a slick plastered appearance very agreeable to the eye. Another method of transportation much the rage atone time over the old Charleston road from these parts was the hogshead wagon. It was used mainly to trans: I part tobacco from the Piedmont to Char, leston. A hogshead was Billed with tobacco, the head nailed on, a pair of shafts fitted to an axle running thru the middle of t. It and a draft animal hitched thereto. This ' method of transportation is said to have > been very agreeable to delicate roads. It ' might be tried &galn. we would not recommend the choctaw ' drag shaft, the vehicle of the American , ; Indians. Not that we do not think*it fully up to these other impllments, but rather because we do not care te be imita " tore of any body. We could go on at length and suggest .1 many things similar to the "split log I drag" and the "Bound Log Harrow" ect^ but it is best to suggest a few things at a y ' time. There by we have the more hopes of seeing what we have mentioned put into use. ^ We cannot refrain, however, from call. Sing attention to one very useful art?that of producing fire. Our people are constantly, unremittingly, put to the expense : of buying matches or borrowing chunks of fire. All this trouble and expense may be t ! cut out by simply rubbing two sticks to- 1 / gether very hard and very fast for an hour or two, at the end of which time you 1 will have a beautiful blaze. This has been 1 tried by great numbers of people and it is a pronounced success. And why our peopie will use road scrapes and matches J . when they can use the split log drag and sticks is hard to understand. But some | ? are becrinninff tn uRfl t.h? anHf !<->? and - V expect soon to see all the road scrape paraphanalia relegated to the junk pile. Poe in the Hall of FameEdgar Allen Poe, our Southern Bard, has been given a place in the Hall of Fame. The fact that he has been thus honored , thrilled no hearts In the South. Why? Because he has since his untimely death been enconsed securely In the Hall of Fame o?every Southern heart, and If the New York University has been dilatory in recognlizng his unquestioned, and unimpeachable merit it is no fault of ours. The New York University has done him no honor in our eyes in placing him at this late kday where we have already placed him since a life time. The New York University has a large contract on its hands in the management of its Hall of Fame, The Hall is not well named. There are just as many heroes out of this Hall as there are in it and when the last name shall have been added to this Hall of Fame there will be more heroes out of It than are in it. n v.u?. ik.i iv.? TT?II nnntkar it new uetifOi turn ouc aoii iiou uuutuui name, one more pliant or plastic, a more generic term. No reflection of course is Intended on those whose names have been added to the 1 Hall. They could not help it. No doubt ( had the individuals been consulted many ' of them -would have refused to allow their ' names to thus be placcd on exhibit, for the reason that they would prefer the whole people to judge of tbeir life and conduct rather than that the New York University should do so. But in or out our Edgar is famous. His imagnation towered high with any other that the States have produced. The rythm, the "adelante" the cadence, the high lights, the solemn sombre shades of his poesy are unsurpassed, Notable Silver Wedding Twenty-five happy years have sped and just now the silver wedding days have come to Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Rosenberg. The event was celebrated last week. Kelatives from different parts of the State were present to enjoy the twenty-fifth anniversary. Many presents of value were added with the hearty congratulations and felicitations of the guests. The home has been filled with happy relatives and friends on this auspicuous occasion. To the good wishes of this host of relatives the Press and Banner would add its congratulations. May many more hap. py useful years be added to these good friends of old Abbeville, and may they celebrate their golden wedding in the evening of their well spent lives under happy auspices, is our earnest wish. Bon voyage, Friends! I What The People Think. Rev. E. B. Kennedy says of the Scotch Singers Monday night at the High Schoo \.uditoruim: I was delighted with the entertainment Hid think shows of this class are calculated to do a great deal of good in a commu" riity. R. M. Haddon says: I enjoyed tho Scotch Singers immensely. It was one of finest musical entertainments I have ever heard. Mrs. A. B. Morse. The Scotch Singers were simply delight ful. I enjoyed Miss Crawford's magnificient voice and the violienst especially but was pleased with the whole programme. I think entertainments of this class are very refiing and elevating. Mrs. W. D. Simpson says I think the entertainmont Monday was as good as any I have ever heard in a Lyceum course. I enjoyod the whole program Mrs. R. S. Link. The entertainment Monday night was delightful and if the numbers to follow as good, we, have something for which to look forward. Mrs. Joe Wilson says I went to the High School Monday in fear and trembling f >r I have been slung on these things be tore but I was pleasantly surprised and came away highly pleased. LUUUAOAiUXiil X f The first entertainment in the Lyceum course given by '-The Scotch Singers" were of a very high order. It was refined and elevating, and if the other entertainments [n this series measure up to the standard of the first, the people of Abbeville will enjoy an opportunity that is usually not af" forded outside of large cities. ' Both for itself and for the object had in view by the Civic League, I can heartily commend this course to the public. H. Waddell Pratt. Auderson Ready to Cooperate With ' Abbeville. Anderson is ready to help build a trolly to Abbeville from that city. Every man between Abbeville and Anderson Is ready to do the same thing. The distance is not great. The power is near. The road bed ideal. The county thru which the road would pass Is rich as Croesus. Why not? If the Dukes won't build why not build one ourselves and own it ourselves? No fairer city graces the map than does. AnJ? ts\?iskVk fVia KonKnorri wif.h fi UtjrWUU. A.KJ IA/UV11 VUV K/VUWU& va ~ ? trolley would help her out. To touch it at Abbeville would help Abbeville out. What would it cost? How much could each city raise? How much would the people on the line thru the county give? Is the. plan not feasible? If not why not? Anderson, we believe, stands ready to consider such a proposition. It is worth considering by both cities. Democratic Campaign Book. The Index has received a copy of the Democratic campaign hand book, the book which is being used with telling effect against Republicans in sections where the Republicans have had things their own way for quite awhile. On page 136 of the boog appears a speech delivered in Congress March 22,1910 by Hon. Wyatt Aiken on 'Foreign Prices." Added interest attaches to this speech as it contains many quotations from letters of Zach McGhee which appeared in the State last winter, these Jotters showing a comparison of prices for commodities here and in freetrade England.?"Index" Oct. 20,1910. This is an exceedingly nice complement to Congressman Aiken. There are some alghty odd Southern Congressman from the South and there are only two or three tariff speeches in the campaign book and that his should be one of these should be rery gratifying to him. But this has occurred before with Mr. .\lken. In the last Presidental election bis was one of four speeches on the tariff that went into the campaign book as the message to the Deople. Eleet Trustees The Laurensviile Herald has the followng to say anent the election of eohool .rustees. The Herald's head Is level and Liaurens will soon come to see that the looaer the matter of electing trustees is ;urned over to the people the sooner ten ;housand quibbles and quarrels and petty ackets will be squelched and the sooner vill the grasshopper cease to be a burden othe County Superintendent. Abbeville bounty will find that many of her troubles *111 be stilled In the same way. The Herild says: It appears that the appointin g of school irustees by the County Superintendent of Education has not been giving the satis'action in Abbeville county that 6ome of )ur friends in Laurens county have con?nded, when once put in operation, would jrove a boon for many of our educational lis. The Herald has contended all along ;hat it was a mistake to resort to the innoration appointing the school trustees instead of electing them, and it won't be ong before the same demand that the Abbeville paper is making will be contended for in Laurens county. / Mr- Ernest Visanski in Abbeville, Mr. Ernest Visanski of Charleston was it his home here last week. Mr. Visanski jame up to attend the festivities on iccount of the Silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Rosenberg. Get One. To Rural School Principals and Teachers: The United States Department of Agriculture has recently issued two bulletins of universal interest to rural teachers. They have been prepared by Dick J. Crosby and F. W. Howe, Specialists in Agricultural Edcation and are entitled "School Lessons on Corn" and "School Exercises in Plant Productions." These bulletins are based on the sensible assumption that the child is primarily interested in the practical and experimental side of any science and that any general interest in agriculture will be the result of some special agricultural experiment in which he may be engaged. Three thousand boys in South Carolina this year raised an acre of corn. Many of them will receive the diploma awarded by the State Board of Education for producing seventy-five bushels per acre. We confidently expect five thousand boys to foba nnrt in t.h? (Yn-n Contest next vear. The air is full of corn talk. Tho teacher of South Carolina should have a part in extending this movement and should use this acute special interest as a means of teaching general agriculture. Through the kindness of the Departs ment of Agriculture and the courtesy of Senator Tillman, Mr. W. K. Tate, State Supervisor of Elementary Rural Schools, has 5000 copies of these bulletins for distribution. A supply has been sent by him to each county superintendent of education. Any teacher may have copies of these bulletins by writing to Mr. Tate in Columbia. We have tichool books for everyboby Milford'a Book Store. ? \ . To Get Together When we-consider that just before the time of Henry the VIII. There was only one Christian Church, and that now there are so many that they can hardly Ik1 counted we wonder where it will all end. There arc Presbyterians, Northern Cumberland. Welsh Calvanistic, United, Southern, Associate, Associate Reformed, Reformed, Reformed, Covenanted, Reformed General Synod. There are Methodists; Episcopal, Union American, Methodist Protestant, Wisleyan, M. E. South, Congregational, New Cengregationa], Zion Union Apostolic, Primitive, Free, Independent, Evangelist Missionary, etc. There are Lutherans: General Synod, United Synod. Gen. Council, Synodical conference, United, Ohio, Buffalo, Hauges, Eielsens, Texas, Iowa, Norwegian, Mich, Danish in America, Icelandic, Immanuel, Suoinai, Norwegian Free, Danish, Slovakian, Finnish, Independents, and others. There are Baptists: Regular North, Regular South, six principle, seventh day, Freewill, Original Free will, General, Separate, United, Church of Christ, Primitive, Old two seed in the spirit Predestinarian, Church of God and saints of Christ, etc. There are Adventists: Pvoncnlir>n.l Arivpnt christians. Seventh Day, Church of God, Life md Advent Union, Churches of God in Jesus Christ, ect. There are the Brethren: In Christ, Yorker, United Zions Children, Brethren I, Brethren II, Brethren III, Brethren IV, etc. When we consider these churches and how they are subdivided, and when wo consider that there are, moreover, the Independent Congregations, the theosophical societies, the Salvation Army, the Schwen I kfeldians, Morarians, Menonites, Later Day Saints, Friends, Evangelical Bodies, I Dunkards, Catholics, Congrcgationalists, Principles of Christ, and many others with their subdivisions and sub subdivisions and sub sub, subdivision is it any wonder that a movement is on foot to bring them together? And if the negro denominations should be counted there would never be an end for a new faith springs up with them at every "Big meetin" Splits aad scjsms and divisions in Christian Churches goes steadily on. Creeds and dogmas are added and multiplied and changed. Tenets are turned loose, and other tenets invented. But the Bible does not change. We still have that. So if we make it the man of our counsel and the guide of our lives we are not very far apart after all. Why not get lOgeinerr J. P. Morgan has given $100,000 for this purpose and a commission has been for. med to call a world conference on Christian Faith. Clemson Extension Work-Article XXIII In an address npon the occasion of the meeting of the Farmers' Congress held at Clemson College during the first two days of September of this year the Hon. E. J. Watson gave some figures on corn that are well \vorth the study of the farmers of the south. The average yield of corn per acre has increased in South Carolina from 7 bushels in 1900 to 16.7 bushels in 1909, as against 87 bushels in 1900 and 35.9 bushels in 1909 in Illinois. In farm value per acre South Carolina corn has increased frora 4.48 to 15.03 in a like period as against 11.84 and 18.67 for a like period in Illinois. In farm value per bushel the Carolina has increased from 64 cents in 1900 to 91 cents in 1909 as against 82 and 52 cents in Illinois. If the Illinois farmer can raise corn'and i grow rich at these values how much better opportunity have the farmers of the south to do even better. In addition to the corn we raised last year we spent six million dollars for corn and corn products, a great deal of which was of very questionable feed value. The man who sold us this corn and the railroads together cleared 39 cents a bushel or nearly three and a half million dollars. We can produce corn as cheap or cheaper per bushel than this same corn cost to produce; so we not only paid out this profit, but lost the additional profit from the growing. Then too had this corn been grown here all of that six million dollars would have remained here as a permanent asset. \ That these facts are being realized by the farmers of the South is evi denced by the steady increased average planted to corn and the increased yield per acre. We are learning that it not only pays to plant more corn, but also to give that crop better cultivation and attention than we have heretofore done. We are also beginning to realize that while cultivation and fertilization are important factors in determining our yield, yet the factor of blood and inheritance also play no small part. With this knowledge has come a closer attention to the detail of corn raising and breeding. But while in the South a numuer ui meu uave uctu these points, thought and work, yet to a large extent each has worked along independent lines. Each man has tried to hew an independent road to success for himself, forgetting that much more rapid progress could be made if he joined with his neighbors and all pulled together. The worst fault that the average farmer has is this very thing of going it alone. He breaks his land with a single horse, does all of his cultivation with the single horse and one farrow and pulls his crop to market with his one horse. He has become so accustomed to the one horse idea that he himself has never learned to work in double harness. As it will pay him in breaking his land to combine wifVi Viiu noifrliKnr and nlow double. SO it will pay to combine with some neighbor in this effort to increase his corn production. It was with the idea of affording an opportunity of this doubling-up process that the South Atlantic Corn Exposition, to be held in Columbia, S. C., December (i to 0 inclusive, has been planned. Steps were taken to this end last spring at the time of the meeting of the Corn Breeders' Association, when the State Legislature was asked to assist such an enterprise and responded liberally by an appropriation of one thousand dollars. In making this appropriation there was but one string tied to it and that was that fonr thousand more should be raised by other means. This same Act placed this fund under the control of a board, consisting of the State Commicairmor nf Afrrifnlfciire. the President of the Corn Breeders' Association, the Director of the Agricultural Department of and the Superintendent of the Extension Division of Clenison College. This board organized by the election of Mr. A. D. Hudson, President of the Corn Breeders' Association, as President. Public sp.rited men both at home and abroad were appealed to for help and nobly have they responded. The one thousand dollaas with which the exposition was started has grown until now there is the magnificent sum of ten thousand dollars offered in prizes. Not content with helping South Carolina alone the exposition has been expanded until it now includes the two neighboring states of Georgia and North Carolina. Liberal premiums are offered for the best corn of different varieties both in display, in lots of ten ears and individual ears first for each county, then each district in each state, . and finally those are brought into com- J petition with the other states. The' " best ten ears of corn that is on exhibit from these three states - those that win | the grand champion sweep stakes, will I takd oft' about four hundred dollars. ? This certainly ought to bring out ten good eas. The other premiums are proportionately libetaL The commission asks every farmer in the three states to help it make this first attempt at a Corn Exposition the success it so richly deserves. There is probably nothing that will have a greater effect or give the corn industry greater impetus aor is there anything that is of greater educational value. The object of the exposition after all is purely educational. Its object is to learn what good corn is and how to grow it. Here will be assembled the best corn of the three states a study of which cannot fail to be of immense value to all who are raising this staple. In addition to this means of instruction i there will be held daily, under the supervision of the Extension Division of Clemson College, a Corn School. The personnel of this school will con- sist not only of Clemson professors, but will be reinforced by the services of a number of the greatest coru experts of the United States. This instruction will be free to all who attend the exposition. Let us all unite in making this the first Corn Exposition of the South the greatest success.
