Tho County Board of Education has placed the management of the Oco nee Boys' Corn Club in my hands, and I have been to Clemson College this week and consulted with tho United States and State managers of the department of agriculture, and ni., now ready to go forward with the work. Wo want not less than fifty boys to enter this contest. We askod for llfty boys last year, and thirty-five entered. Sopie fine yields were mudo, the largest yield being 102 bushels. "We wore able by the liberal contri butions of Oconeo's moneyed men to distribute $100 in prizes. This sonson we hope to Improve all along the line If the seasons are favorablo wo expect to record a yield of lf>0 bushels por acre by somo Oco nce boy under 18 yoars of age. We want tho boys to enter. Wo want to urge ovory teacher la the public schools of our county to lay this op portunity before their boys and In sist that they join tho corn club and send lu their names. Also, fathers, encourage your boys to come tn, and seo thab they have the best acre and all necessary equip ment. Ho will do tho balance, and you will be proud of your boy. Yes, we must have fifty boys. That "phi ko y little Richland school" (thanks for tho soubriquet) agrees to furnish ten boys, and they are backed by their fathers. They will gladly take second place if any other school in the county will furnish a larger number. All tho boys who have entered the contest, and all who aro thinking of entering, are asked to meet at the Court House at Walhalla on Satur day, March 18th, at ll o'clock to plan out the work for the contest. We hope to have one or two good speakers present. Fathers and business mon of Oco nee. we want your help to furnish money for tho prizes for these boys. We feel that you were well paid for your contribution to the prizes for tho Boys' Corn Club last year, through the impetus and encourage ment given to the coming men of our fields and country and tho uplift to our great staple crop corn. We take this opportunity to ask you to volun teer your contributions, and for fear you may forget lt we will call on you from time to time In tho Interest of our boys. "Como over Into Macedonia and Belp us." We will depend on you. Send all contributions, and, boys, send your names to J. P. Strlbllng, Manager Boys' Corn Club. Richland, S. C. MHS. Ii. J.

Advertising Method lins Econ Adopt ed by An Enterprising House. That Walhalla ls fast becoming metropolitan in tho methods of ad vertising used by our merchants to call tho buying public's attontion to tho many splendid values which they are offering, also that tho wide awake house of C. W. Pitchford ls keeping up with and just a little ahead of tho times In an advertising respect, ls again practically demon strated by what ls perhaps tho most olaborate system of advertising ever attempted by any business house In this section, namely, the giving away of tho beautiful Upton Parlor Grand Piano, which ls now upon exhibition at his store. These pianos retail at $400 each, guaranteed for ten years. The prin cipal points of superiority of tho celobrated Upton piano over any other of this class of Instruments He in tho three strings in unison with overstrung bass, tho splendidly pitched scale and truo sounding board which give the Upton that rich, deep, even tono so much admired. In an Interview with Mr. Pitchford regarding this decided Innovation In advertising, he stated: "Wo have been enjoying the pa tronage and confidence of tho buyers of this community for some time now, and by always trying to keep our stocks completo tho saying that 'You can got lt nt Pltchford's' has become a housohold expression. "In giving away this plano weare actuated by a double purpose-to show our appreciation of the patron age of our friends during the past; also to encourage now trade and to bring tho many splendid values we ure now showing in all lines to the attention of every buyer In this terri tory. "Tho plan we are using In giving away this piano Is equitable and fair to all-simply this: Every person buying ono dollar's worth of anything In our store will receive a coupon good for 100 votes. The person re turning to na on September 1st the largest number of votes will be given the plano absolutely free of all cost. No favors will be shown. Our repu tation for 'square dealing' assures our customers of that fact." This four hundred dollar Upton Parlor Grand plano is surely a pres ent worth having, and we predict a very "merry race" for coupon votes during the next few months. Mr. Pitchford ls surely to be con gratulated upon his broad-minded methods and "Trade Getter" adver tising system. ANDERSON GETS LONG TERM. Quick Justice Meted Out to Robber Gang in Gainesville Court, Gainesville, Go., March 3.-"It's twenty years for you, Anderson," said Judge Jones to the leader of the train robbers, as he stood up to receive his sentence.

Ho then turned to the ladies in the court room and stated that there was only one just law for robbery, and that was tho Ten Com mand monts. The many time convict's thanks In terrupted the judge who had pre faced the term with something about the offense and the fair and Impar tial trial he and his associates had been given. Tho other prisoners, Hanford and Hunter, were given fifteen years each, but neither had aught to say. Finds $104 Hidden by Robbers.
