The town of Pomari;i i.s Abating the question of buying a' plant and" lighting the town. We be-j lieve it would be a great thing for them to do. A great many people f do not understand just what the Del co light is and just what real benefit it is to the home. We would like to go into details in full and explain just what it is and what it will really do but it would consume a great deal of time and space and we feel sure that in a short while it will he dem onstarted all over the county. <Any way. from what we have seen of the Delco lighting system it is beyond a doubt one of the greatest steps to ward advancement that has been placed before the farmer in a num ber of years. At the same time it places upon the farm the electric power which has proven to be the most wonderful power in the field to aay. ine i>eico ugnt win place a safe light at every place on the farm. It will run the churn, the cream 6ep rator, the fan, the iron, the pump, and various other things too numer ous to mention, at a very economi cal cost.

Prosperity, Jan. 15.?Thinking that the public would be interested in knowing what the corn club mem berg of Newberry county are accom plishing I her-.-with submit a SynOp eia nf mv* ron/irt /\ii /-.I11K w/\rlr- fV?o i year 19J6. Thirty-two boys enrolled in the corn club and each planted an acre. I but on account of extreme weather' ouly 21 boya save in a report at the' end of the year. The 21 boys re- j porting, however, produced on 2] acres j S68 bushels of com, an average of! 41 1-3 bushels per acre at an average [ cost of 40 cents per bushel. This; yield per acre is not as high at-s in i 1915 on account of so much rain j during July. Some of the boys who ! had lowlands planted almost madt> n j complete failure thus bringing down the average considerably. Still the average is a little more than double, the average for the entire State, showing that the boye are doing som^; good work. The boys are not only making good ' yields but are making them at a nom-1 inal cost. One boy who deserves spec- j ial mention gathered from his acre1 $48.00 worth of crimson clover and j then produced 35 bushels of corn, us-1 ing only a small amoun> of phosphor-j ic acid as fertilizer. The cost of pro-! ducing his com was only 28 cents' per bushel, allowing $5.00 for rent of iand and counting labor and ferti-j lizer at market price. This corn wasj planted on upland that has been cul tivated for two generations, and yieiu ed a net profit from clover and com ; of S#5. Boys who can farm like! this can bid defiance to the ravages , of the boll weevil. Truly, "A little | child 6hall lead them." In this connection I wish to say! that the business men of the county' have been very generous in giving prizes to encourage the boys, thus j showing their appreciation of the I work. In behalf of the boys I take ! this opportunity to thank each one; for this generosity. Rest assured; that these prizes are highly appre- i ciated ?by the boys and county agent, j Besides the prizes given in the county, the Newberry county boys' won $37.00 in cash prizes at the State i fair, winning four out of nine prizes ! offered to the corn club boys of the State. Three of these prizes were flrgts, the other was a second. This j is a record that all of Newberry coun- ! ty should be proud of, not for the j 1'a-ct alone that the boys are winning some cash, but for the fact that they are doing some high class work In corn growing. <What we need now Is, more boys in the work. Parents, please encourage your boys to take up this very important work. It may mean a great deal to them in after life. T. M. MILLS. County Agent. Admiral George Dewey Dead. Admiral (reorae Dewev. the hero of Manila Bay, died yesterday at the ripe age of seventy-nine years. No man has endeared himself more to the heart of the nation in the last generation than Admiral Dewey. Ev ery day of his long life has spelled love to his country and efficiency In its service. He was born on December 26, 1837, in Montpelier, Vt., and in 1854 he re ceived his M. M. S. in the Norwich University. In 1858 he graduated from the United States Navs1 Acad emy, was attached to the Mediterra nean squadron until 1861, then trans ferred to the steam sloop Mississippi of the Wesf Oulf sonadrnn. and b?_ came captain of his ship which, as j a unit of Farragut's squadron, assist- j ed in forcing the pasasge of Ft. St. i Phillip and Ft. Jackson in April, 1862. He became commander in April, 1872, and commodore on February 9, 1872, On May 1 he assumed comaand of the Asiatic squadron in Manila Bay. Here he commanded his squadron'in the famous battle of Manila Bay, completely annihilating the Spanish Asiatic squadron under Admiral Mon tojo, destroying eleven ships and cap-j turing all other vessels as well as, the land batteries, without the loss of a single lifa on the American side. Immediately upon the report of ihls stupendous naval victory he was ap pointed rear admiral, and the nation, through congress, thanked him in a special resolution.

His wife, Mrs. Mildren McLean Dew-ey, was con stantly at his bedside during his short! illness. It was at the age of 61 when Ad miral Dewey was at his best. The old school proved then to an ambi tious and young generation that ex perience and energy can make a grand combination in a man of ripe age.
