While we are talking about this
com championship we want to rise
to ask again the unanswered question
"why do not the farmers all
over the country make use of the
same means of cultivation of corn
that the boys who win these prizes
use? We can see no use of walking
a mule and a man to death to make
a small yield of corn on a large;
number of acres by the old plans j
when a greater amount can be made
on a very much smaller acreage,
and not working man and mule into
the grave. Jerry Moore tells us
that the corn he made on his prize
acre cost less than the other corn
made on the plantation, but the
plantation is still run on the same
, old expensive plan and 999 out of
1.000 plantations in the State are
. run in the same way, and we are
< ' willing to bet that the McDonald
plantation will be run on the same
plan next year, though it may be
seen that the corn made on this
ontdi \f If urnrn mnUln1lo#4 Kv two nr

three, would be all that was wanted
> and corn that ooats 33-1-3 cents a
bushel and sells for $1, or even less
looks like mighty good profit to
us. We want to see that farmers
exchange established in this county,
and then there would be more of
all this sort of things raised, and
the farmers would be better off and
the whole people would be better
off.
RURAL SCHOOL NEEDS SHOWN
BY PROF. TATE.
Inspector of Elementary Rural
J^fchools Delivered Interesting Address
at Dillon.
D
pr'rof. W. K. Tate, inspector of
ymentary rural schools, has been
? the county for several days in>ect!ng
the schools of the county,
(e delivered an address in Dillon
Aiturday advocating the principles
which he hopes to see inaugurated
,in the country scfiools. He maintained
that a country school should
, ngt Tindertake high school work
dpd that rural teachers should
hold their positions longer in the
same place. Also that they should
adapt their work to the community
which they serve; that they should
have expert supervision through a |
competent supervisor, and that the
standard of the rural teacher should
be raised, meaning that more oollege
folks should hold these important
positions than at present.
ne birtiswQ ine iaci mai ir me
rural schools were what they ought
to be there would not be the influx
of the farming people into the
town, thereby depriving the country
districts of a splendid citizenship,
which it so much needs.

HUSBAND'S JOKE IS FATAL, f
Oh loan Kills Himself While Trying
to Frighten His Wife.
Many times within the last few
months E. E. Hanchett, of Bedford,
has attempted to frighten his bride
of leas than a year into the belief
that he was about to end his life,
says a Cleveland dispatch. He
would load a revolver with blank i
cartridges, then fire at himself, and
the wadding in the shell would
merely scorch his clothing. Tuesday
night his joke proved fatal. He
mistook a loaded shell for a blank
one, fired at his head and sank
back on the bed beside his wife
dead. Mrs. Hanchett thought it
the usual Joke and prepared to go
to sleep. Later she noticed her
hwiband was not breathing. She
"Called a doctor who pronounced her
husband dead.
Hanchett was discharged from
the thilted States Navy several years
ago with a record for sharp shoot'
ing with a revolver. According to
neighbors he had' several times
Awakened the entire vicinity by
.firing a revolver in the middle of
the night to frighten his wife.
I'd rather have a busted bank
Than a busted heart, by jing!
For money can be got again,
But when Joy once takes wing
| It's mighty hard to lure her back
And teach her how to sing.
