^ so far as regards Terry's achievement,
'the Soutii Ca'olina commissioner of
Agriculture tells me: "This boy, o
my miad, has done even more in the j
way of building for the future than
uid Jerry Moore, for he has demonstrated
to the grown farmer that heg;
meat can be raised a* nom: ior less;
than f;ur cents per pound; something

Terry is 16 years old; when we con- !
template the daily quo.ations for pork '
chops, ham, bacon, lard and sausage,
we may acclaim him' as a bucolic;
David slaying our fearsome national;
Goliath?The High Price of Living, j
Terry Dill's achievement was pos-;
sible because -of the splendid commun- j
ity spirit abounding in Greenville
county, where everybody became in?
terested in the idea of a Boys' pig club.':
k The leading daily paper in .he county ^
Pp" offered a prize of $50 .'o the winner,'
, and a leading mercantile house paid
$50 for the winning pig. The Greenville
Board of Trade was the umpire
in the proceeding, printing the rules
and list of prizes for distribution
throughout t'be county. 1. became a
popular method of advertising for
merchants to join in offering sptcial

many o,:her commodities?for par icuI
lar excellences in pig-raising, so that
" nearly every bjy c-f the 20 contestants
f with Terry had something to hope for,
if failing ;he capital prize. The percentages
for determining the winner
embraced four points; gain in weight,
50; cost of feeding, 30; general condition
of the pig, 10; and neatness and
completenes of the rec:rd, 10. Any
tinH r>f r?i<r mi?ir he entered, not over
uiuvt vi Jf-o - o?' ? ? 60
days eld, a:d .'h? contest extended
from April until October. Every
fc > month a report was tiled with the secj
retary of ,he Board of Trade, stating
grain in weight, anionn and kind kind
koJ: food given and its cost. Grass
pasturage was standardized at 25c a
month, cultivated pasturage a: 75c a
month, c3r:i a" $1.00 a bushel, buttermilk.at
5c a gallon, and ne values of
> % wheat, meal, rye, e c., were differ
^ en iated at a rate uniform for all contest
ants. An agent of the Uni ed
B vrotoo farm dpmo stration service, and
r%
a professor of the S:ai? agricul ural
colP ge acted as judges and advisers.
Finally the pig was weighed by three
disi \ ertested people, and under affidavits
the figur s for \:e 21 pigs were
filed with he Greenville boa*"d of
trade.
The contest was very close. Terry's
was n:t the heaviest pig, and his
4' average gain in weigh, was 14..jo
^ pounds a week, for lie full term,
k against 17.85 p<unds for the boy raisW
ing the heaviest. On this point Terry
J scored 44 points. Bu: the heaviest pig
cost 5.5 cents a pound, wmie lerrys
with a cos cf 3.8 won the perfec:
score of 30 points. Another boy was
too kind altogether and spent 9.2 cents
{a pound. Terry scored the perfect
10 points lor the '"general condition''
of his pig, so i; would be unfair to
omi: the fact that, so far as he was
concerned, the pig was perfect in ,
everything. The neatness and com-:
pleteness of Terry's report were only!
| one point short of the perfect ten.:
He won 'with score of 93 points. The
papers throughout ,the South pro-;
claimed the thought of the Greenville
pig club as an inspiration and Terry
Dill's victory as the solution of the '
i
^ "problem of home-grown hog and j
hominy:* .j
Terry Dill's persional relations with |
his pig should not pass unrecorded. |
Recently a Harvard proressor has de-;
g clared that every pig would be a
gentleman if he had a chance; but bc- j
fore this erudite oradi.e oracle had
proclaimed this truth, Terry had prov-;
ed it. He gave his pig the chance, and
he proved a marvel ol personal cleanliness.
Terry built the pen himself,

Evtery day Terry carefully "manicured" i
\ him with a currycomb and a horse
brush, until, as Terry expressed i", "he
was as fat and slick as a butterball." j
He als") made him a now bed each day.
A few days before the period of the ;
contest was to ^nd, Terry s pig caught j
ccld and became hearse. In coaster-j
nation Terry devised a remedy of
kerosene and grease, and swabbed out
his threat, forcibly holding liim meantime.
During the hisr month h pig
registered a gain of fO pounds! He
was s fat, Terry records, that his eyes
were closed, and he ha'' :o be pushed
in t.ie direction it was desi: d he
should l:o.
Terry Dill is a favo' ite corr<\-i>onu
lit <>;' mine. He is v: ally interested
in the career of a farmer, and lie
writes so alluringly of it that his example

fi?e years as principal and eight years
as superintendent?Pr-:f. W. C. Bynum
'.has tendered his resigna.ion to the
board of trustees, to take effect at the
end of the curren. school term, on
June 9.
.\o steps have yet been taken to fill
the vacancy that is to occur at the
head of the city's school system arid
rw '.ling will be done until the trustees
have gone ever the situation thoroughly.
It is realized by the board that it
will be no easy task to fill Mr. By 11 urn's
place wita a man so capable and laiihful
as lie; and since Mr. Bynum as
set so high a mark in local educa ional
administration, Georgetown will be
satisfied with nothing less.
Mr. Bynum has not yet determined
11 nnn his future connection, but it is
cer.ain that he will remain in educa
tional "work. He 'has received several
flattering proposals each of which is in j
the line of advancement. With one of
these he will close, :his new duties to i
s.art after he has had a res: in the
summer.
Mr. Bynurn has had "he satisfaction j
ot seeing the Georgetown city schools
greatly enlarged and developed since:
ho became connected with them. Thir-,
teen years age the enrollment of the J
higu school was 280 and the staff consisted
the superintendent and seven
teachers. The enrollment is now 460
and the staff numbers superintendent
and eleven teachers. The new school
building one of the handsomest and
best equipped in the State, was built
during Mr. Bynum's administration;
and Jie did yeoman work in behalf of
fhe building and equipment.
The class> 01 work has been brought
up 10 such a "high standard that the
school is now cn the accredited list
wi.h thr colleges of the State. That
means that any college in the State
will admit a graduate from the Georgetown
high school on the school's certificate
and without examination. One
