After seeing what fine alfalfa Im
Dr. W. D.'Ouzts has grown this
year, we wonder more than evei
why farmers buy inferior western
hay instead of growing their stock
feed at home. Dr. Ouzts also has
foTlder and pea vane hay two years
old in his barn.* There is no good
reason why every farmer in thc
county can not do likewise.

best of the entire commencement. In
order to raise funds to payvRev. P.
P. Blalock for teaching the band

of those who are to deliver the com
mencement sermon and literary ad
dress, an admission fee of 50 cents

dents and children, will be charged.
A very elaborate program has been
arranged, and everybody who at

small admission fee. ' As the boys
who compose the band have nothing
to pay for their musical instruction,
the people of our town^hould patron
ize the exercises Friday evening: lib
erally in order to raise funds to pay
Mr. B?alock's salary as instructor of
the band.' The attendance upon
pay-night exercis?s has been large

"Hay Make? The Mare Go."
Don't neglect your, hay crop. Our
good friend. Dr. W. D. Ouzts, says
the interest that is being taken in the
The Chronicle's cotton contest and
The Advertiser's corn contest is go
ing to cause people to forget their
hay. This must not be. Peas are
cheaper this year than for several
years, so let a larger acreage be
sown throughout the county. You.
need cotton to help pay your debts
and you need corn to help keep out
of debt, but do not forget that hay
is an indispensable factor in 'mak
ing the mare go."
Competitive Drill.
A prominent feature of the com
mencement will be the competitive
drills to be held on
the public square.Fri
day afternoon at six
o'clock the I dividual
drill in the manual of
arms will be held,.and
Saturday morning at
10 o'clock vthe compa
ny drill will be held.
The S. C. C. I. cadets
have been well train
ed and always present
a creditable appear
ance. They have been
practicing some time
for this annual con
test, everyone expect
ing, of course, to win.
The contest Friday
afternoon particular
ly will be very interesting and ex
citing. Everybody should turnout
to witn?ss both contests.
The Editor's Compensation.
The man who edits the average
country newspaper cannot well avoid
treading on somebody's toes contin
ually; must expect to be censured
often for unintentional failures; must
expect hard work and little thanks;
must expect to be called a coward
because he'does Dot "pitch into"
everything that somebody thinks is
wrong and a fool if he speaks out
too plainly on public evils. He|
must expect to grind other people's
axes and turn the grindstone him-1
self. Still, we think it is one of the
noblest professions on earth, the one
in which the earnest man can do the
most good to his fellow man and in
which an honorable man can wield
much power for good.-Arcanum
(O.) Times.
The Williams' Plan.
In driving over the country it is
easily perceptible that farmers have
in recent years adopted many new
methods in planting and cultivating
their fields, but there is yet one thing
that is not generally practiced, and
that is regular and systematic rota
tion of crops. It is impossible to
restore humus and vegetable matter
to impoverished soil without rota
tion. Commercial fertilizers feed
the growing crops but do not in
crease the fertility of the soil from
year to year. We would like to see
more farmers adopt Mr. S. T. Wil
liams' system of rotation. He sows
every fall the land that was planted
in cotton and corn duringThat year.
Several persons have told ps that
Mr. Williams has the fliest oats they
have seen-not a few patches but
large fieldfi.
Cheaper Minera! Water.
We have a large supply of Glenn
Springs and Harris Lithia water.
We sell the Glenn Springs water at

with the idea you are doing him a
kindness in helping to "fill up" space.
