CORN 0ONTEST DEO:IDRD.
Names of Winnrs in State Announc
ed.-Statement by Oommittee. 0
Tihe State.
. The South Carolina commission ap- r
pointed to judge the result of the
corn contest in this state announced
its decision yesterday. The commis
sion was appointed last year after- a
special appropriation had been made c
by the general assembly for the con
test in this state, there being a na- 1
tiodnal contest also .Qp hand, which,
by the way, resulted in the prize 0
coming to this state. E
The following statement was issu- t
ed by the commission: b
"The commission has had some dif
ficulty in arriving at what they con- s
sidered a just and proper distribu
tion of the prizes in accordance with
the announcement orignally made on v
the -part of the management of the c
oational contest on the one hand and f
on the part of the state commission
on the other. However, after thor
oughly canvassing the situation and
going over all of the data in connec- s
tion with the contest the commission t
has determined to award the general t
prizes as follows:
"First Prize-A. J. Tindal, Man- o
ning, $200.
"-Second Prize--B. E. Moore, Ben
nettsville, $100.
"Third Prize-T. C. Willoughby, I
Florence, $50.
' "Fourth Prize-W. B. Chitty, n
Olar, $?.
"The above prizes are for general I
results, including yield and all other
points going to make up the total
score.
"For the best work of any compe
titor on one acre of corn, which, of
course, includes the methods of cul
ture, the scoring has resulted 'in the
awarding of the following prizes.
"First Prize-A. J. Tindal, Main
ning, $50.
"Second Prize-B. E. Moore, B'en
nettsville, $20.
''Third prize, dvided between T.
C. Willoughiby of Florence county
and J. B. Moss of Orangeburg county
($10 each,) $20.
"Fourth Prize-W. B. Chitty,
Olar, $10.
''In addition to the above prizes
the commission 4as determined to
award two prizes to school children,
there having been only two entries in
this portion of the contest. The com
mission has provided $25 for these
two prizes. These names will be an
nounced in a few days.
"In view of the above announce
ments the final awards, therefore, by
the commission cover the $500 ap
propri)ated by the state- for the pur
pose are as follows:
"A. J. Tindal $250, B1. E. Moore
$120, T. C. Willoughby $60, W. B.!
Chitty $35, J. B. Moss $10, school 1
children $25.
'Mr. Tindal, as will be seen, as a
rewvard for his efforts and success in
placing South Carolina at the head
of the columns of the United States
for yield of conn, per acre, has been
awarded by the commission one-half
of the prize money allowed by the
state.
''In view of the fire which destroy
ed the entire plant of The American
Agriculturist, the national contest,
which wvas to have been continued
over a period of five years, has been
abandoned for the year 1907 with the
announcement that the five years'
period will be resumed with the sea
son"of 1908.
No Contest This Year.
"At the last se'ssion of the general
assembly provision was made for
-$500 in prizes for the state contest
this year to be participated in by I
South Carolina farmers entered in
the national contest. In view of the
fact that the national contest is not
running this year the comptroller1
general holds that the state cantest
under the terms of the act and must1
be held J.n the treasury. Consequent
ly there will be no state prizes of
fered this year. The correspondence
between the comptroller general and
myself will be made public later so
that the matter can be thoroughly
-understood."
SCommissioner Watson, who is the
c hairman of the commission, will at
once forward to the winners of the
_coztest their warrants for the sev
-eral amounts due them in accordance
-with the awards as annoned.

~To the Farmers and Land Owners of
the South:
-A great deal is being said about
--securing desirable immigration for
Sthe South. It is hoped that Southern
farmers and land owners are giving
this subject the attention it merits
and appreciate what it means to the
South. Without doubt Lhe'~ farmers
and land owners are, or should be,I
-more interested in this proposition
-than any other class of people; one
of the reasons being, the evident pe..
uniary advantage to the section in pr<
rhich there is an influx of a worthy an
nd substantial class of home-seek- 00
's. as
Nothing will do mote ty increase
and values and the price of farmt
oroducts than growing population.i of
Ls population grows, the consuming
apacity naturally increas&s, which 11
ondition is met through the devel- m0
pment of new land and the better *co
ultivation of older farms. Increased an
lopulation gives stimulus to the on- So
argement and creation of new indus
ries, requiring additional labor, all t
f which depends upon the farm for ,
ubsistence. The more and the better be
he 'farm products, the better every- anl
ody lives. tal
In some sectiocis of the South there in
eems to be an underlying sentiment thi
infavorable to the introduction of cal
iew settlers. Students of economy o(i
dho have given this subject the most co:
areful consideration find that such seo
eeling is based upon erroneous con- tie
eptions of the advan-tages of new a,
oeople and new ideas. While the :
outh is developing the natiral re- hia
ources and capabilities of the coun
ry to sustain a much larger popula
ion warrants the incoming of many
iore people who can find homes, the it
ecenpancy and development of which D.

fore idbigration means increased B]
and values, the betteiment of the
ducational facilities, the improve- Be
ient of public roads, the addition of
alarkets, the building of more and
etter towns and the enlargement of
owns already in existence, with all W
f the advantages common to con
entration. tic
There is room in every county in te
very state of the South for many
nore home builders and producers,
nd until the farmers and land own- th
rs now living there take a personal
nterest in soliciting and locating a th
ood class of settlers in their neigh
ierhoods the best results ca.nnot be th
ttained. un
The following questions are asked Co
Jld suggestions made with the hope r
hof eve-y progressive farmer and 18
i:id o w ill heed the appeal:
1. Are ihere any lands in your i
eighborhood unoccupied or not giv- -
ig the i4wier the returns commensu- p
ate with their possibilities? M
2. Are yot making any effort to in- lai
hwe worthy aod desirable home- tI1
akers to occupy these vacant lands? fo
f not, did it ever occur to you thiat th
rou are among the number respon- ti<
ible for the upbuilding of the dis- en
iet in which you live, and that it
orobably this lack of interest is one ca
f the causes why development in
our community has not been as rap- ab
rI as it should be? ye
Our attention is frequently called ed
the fact that in many parts of the ga
Ioited States, other than the South,
arm lands are selling from $75 to tri
'150 per acre, while in the South
~ood improved frams are for sale ati
rom $20 to $35 per acre. Everything an
onsidered the South has the best and
heapest lands in the United States. i
)ne of thme principal reasons why the am
ontrast in values is so great, is lack
~f immigration to the South. This re
ondition can be changed if all will
vork with that end in view. ,- pr
How much more comnented the i
southern farmier would he if he oe- th
mpied 80 acres of land worth $100 r.e

ualf under cultivation. public roads di

chools .of the dlisti > imnadequate. He
s the master of the first, but the oth- i
r is e' T r.
There is little doubt but what the
~arms o' the South wo,mld be much
,etter' .ff financially atnd s->i' lly if dr
heir h Mline' were emaller. Some
and ow.n ers of the South begin tom
ealize this. An instance of this is A
een wherein a leading planter locat-e(
d on the Southern Railway, propos- to
s to give outright, to any reliable at
yhite farmer, ten oere s,of land, and
grees to sell thirty acres additional, ic
>rovided t}.e purchaser finds he is t
tble to properly cultivate the ini-t
reased araa. This proposition is o
nade to induce an industrious class e
o0 settle in his neighborhood. This
and owner has more land than he
an take care of, on account of the e
eareity of h'bor, and he argues, that ba
his plan will bring io his locality a
ufficient number of desirable immi
~rants with families, from wvhom the
upply of labor so much desired cnnf
,e neoured. 'sh
If every Southern land owvner will
~ive this subject the consideration it i
leserves, lie will find home-seekers
oming to enjoy the opportunities
vhich exist in his neighborhood; but
ie should take no undue advantage ge
if the man seeking a home, by ebarg- an
ng an excessive price for land; on. or
he contrary he should aid the pros- er
>ective new neighbor in obtaining "
)perty at the lowest possible price
a upon most reasopable terms. Tht
,Iden Rule should be a guide in this
in all things.
Throughout the Northern part of
United States there are thousands
honest, law-abiding, intelligen
d industrious families anxious t<
n. homes of their own; they wil
ke good citizens, be a credit to th<
nmunity in which they locate, and

Beer follows the flag- of civiliza
n. It is drunk to the greatest ex
it in thickly )opulated, highly civ
red communities.
In wild, uncouth countries, amonE
lumber and logging camps, in th
lated mining districts and among
3 savages whiskey and other highI1
loxicating beverages are drunk t
3 greatest extent and beer is almos
known. Last year the United Statef
asumied mnore tian 54,000,000 bar
s of beer, 21 times as much as ir
33.
The countries farthest advanced
,ilization are En4land, France
rimany and the United States
ese four countries also have thi
ist pronounced taste for beer. Eng
id, coming first, Germany secod
United States third and Franc
art-h. But France makes up fo
e smnallness of its beer consumlp
m--8 gallons per capita-by it
ormous use of mild wines, of whic)
consumes 20 gallons a year pe
pita.
Each person in England d rink
out 40 gallons of beer and ale ,
ar. In Germany the beer consum
last year was an average of 3
lions fbr each inhabitant.
In certain of the more populous dis
ets of Germany the per capita con
mption is far in excess of this. Fo
stance, in Bavaria, the averag
iount of beer drunk by each mar
Jman anid child is 62 gallons a year
Wturtemburg~ it is 47 gallons,
d in Badent it is 42 gallons.'
The misison of beer is gradually t<
place the stronger and more in
r-ious distilled beverages. It is tht
oduct of ages of sLudy and scienti
endeavor toward this very end. i
ousand years of experimenting an<
search i. Germany and Amerie
ve produced tile modern beer, th
)st p)erfect and the mnost healthfu
verage know. It comes nearer giv
.e the effect of exhilaration withou
e bad after effect than any othe
ink in the world.
It is ani improvement on the ale'o
lglan)d and the acme of perfectio:
the brewing of malt liquors. Th
rson who learns to drink beer doe
t care for strong drinks. In thi
~rman districts, where each porso:
inks from two to three times a
inch beer as in America, there i
t half the drunkenness there is i:
nerica. In Germany it is considei
ino more improper for young girl
go together or alone and sit dow:
a beer table and drink one or mor
isses of beer than for girls in Amer
i. to drink beverages at soda fon
in.
Beer contains the smallest amoun
alcohol of any evhilarating bev
oge known-only 4 per cent. A si,n
teaspoonful of patent medicin
ten contains more alcohol and otl1
injurious drugs than a whol
*rrel of -beer. Whiskey contains 5
r cent. or more of alcohol, rum 7
r. cent., claret 9 1-2 per cent, an<
Ier 6 per cent. According to thes
rur'es there is decided inconsistene
own by people who think it is per
'tly proper to drink cider, but ver;
moral to drink beer.
The wvriter of the article abov
oted admits that he is talking abou
re hecer. "But I regret to say,'' h,
es on. "thbat all beer is not pur
d that some has disastrious effect
the drinker and is a source o
line and degeneracy.
3alicylic acid is the main secret l
whtich these vile concoctions are man
ufactured. Burned sugar (earamo) is
added to give color; coculus indious
to supply an intoxicating agent
which will give an appearance of
strength to the beverage; quassia to
impart bitterness in place of hops;
grain of paradise and cayenne pep
1per to communicate pungency; cori
ander and caraway seeds to yield
flavor; licorice, treacle and honey to
supply color and consistence. To stale
beer there is sometimes added green
vitriol (sulphate of iron) or alum
and common salt, which when agitat
ed with te beer communicates a fine
cauliflower head.
"Wily people will drink it is a
-iiystery. Its watery body tand its
chemideally produced artificial foam
are r4adily detected. The national
pure food law has no effect in pre
venting its sale, for such beer is al
ways Imade at some inearby establish
ment in the same state. The natioal
food lIw has no bearing on products
sold il the same state in which they
