practical talk on some subject pertaining
to roads and how to secure
their improvement. He is a very fascinating
talker and thoroughly practical.

Lexington, July 24.?Using for his
theme, the "Home and Home Influence,"
the Rev. J. Walter Daniel of
'Columbia, presiding elder of the Columbia
district, preached a startling
sermon in the Methodist church here
this afternoon.
During the course of his eloquent
discourse, Dr Daniel declared with
feeling that "Columbia, the capital of
the proud State of South Carolina, is
the wickedest city south of Philadelbia."
He said that there were more
debauched young men and young v/onen
in and around Columbia than in
any other section of the State.

Deplores Endowments.
He deplored the fact that rich par;nts
often give their children large
?ums of money and Bet them up in
justness. "This," he said, "was the
worse thing that could ever happen to
any child. He said that he did not believe
in endowments of any kind,
whether for school or what not, that
every child should make his own mark
in life. "Teach the hfart and mind
and all else that is necessary in life
will come," he said.

FREIGHT RATES UNFAIR.
Rockingham People Allege that Satis*
factory Routes and Rates are
Refused by Railroads.
Washington, July 23.?That satis.'astory
th -ough routes and joint rate:
'jetween Rockingham, N. C., and various
points in South Carolina not on
!y do not exist but are refused by tin
railroads, is the burden of the com
plaint filed today with the interstate
commerce commission. The complaint
.vas instituted by the manufacture):
freight department of Rockingham, N
C., representing the cotton mills r
that place, against the Seaboard Ai:
Line railway and the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway. It is explained that tl >
rates charged by the carriers on cotto:
>iece goods from Rockingham ti
>oints in South Carolina are unreasonable
and discriminatory, because t;.i
ailroads refuse to establish througl
routes and Joint rates. The commis
don is reauested to reauire the ra;
oads to establish through routes arc
joint rates and schedules of charge
that are lower than the present rate.1
Fatten Declares He Has Left Speculathe
Arena for Good.
[ New York, July 23.?Reiterating his
declaration that he would never agah
re-enter the speculative arena again
A. Fatten, the erstwhile "cotton king,"
sailed today for Europe on the steamer
Kroonland. Mr. Patten said: "It
seems the crux of the financial situa
tion this fall depends upon good crops.

and hay Is short. Now, if corn fails,
the country might have a period of

Washington, July 24.?A returning 1
tide of Americans and immigration j
from Canada and indications of an
enorraeous influx of people from the
! Northwest, including western Canada,
to southeastern States next Tall add
winter are attracting the close attention
of immigration and indust ial authorities.
The bureau of immigration
officials are now awaiting an aarly report
from Commissioner Clark at Montreal,
before discussing the impeuding
influx. Industrial experts say the
movement to the southeastern States
will begin next October. A recordbreaking
migration in this direction
occurred last year, drawing upon the
population of the central states, especially
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
Many of these people went to southern
Georgia and Florida and southern
Alabama.
Coming South.
Reports of a number of colonizing
companies have been investigating
valuable large tracts in various portions
of the Gulf States during the
past few months. A recent report to
the land and industrial department of
the Southern Railway showed that
since last May about 50,000 acres of
land in southern Alabama had either
been purchased or was about to be
obtained for nortliweste n firms and
corporations for locating settlers. ^

CORN PRODUCTION
NAY BREAK RECORD
BOTS A1.L TAKINCJ PAKX IS '.YOJIL
Reports Indicate That South Carolina
Farmers Are Taking Unusual Interest
in the Corn Contests.
Never before In the history of the
State has there been so much interest
in the production of corn and
the present indications are that the
slogan of South Carolina farmers
"50,000,000 bushels of corn for 1910,"
will be realized.
Without considering the reports to
be made from the various counties
to the department of agriculture as c
to the number of bushels of corn pro- s
duced, the increased production is v
evident to one going about the State
on the railway cars. In the past i
where there were broad acres of cot- s
ton are now found fields of corn. j,
The corn crop for the 9tate last 8
year was approximately 37,000,000 v
bushels. The crop last year was 5
8,000,000 bushels greater than for 1
the year 1908. For the States of the y
South there was an increase of 13,- y
000,000 bushels and 8,000,000 was ac- n
credited to South Carolina. 0
If the 50,000,000 bushel yield Is M
realized in South Carolina for the y
present year, it will mean that the n
farmers of the State will be shipping a
corn away and not sending millions t:
of dollars to the West for the crop as d
has been the custom in the past. ]
Farmers are Thinking. e
Not only haB the corn production of
the State increased but the farmers 8
by the Increase hare shown that they
are using more, thought, and intelligent
methods in the cultivation not
>11 ihe rioor buring an agricultural in- t
atitute as to how a large yield of corn s
was secured.
"The people of the State would ra- h
(.her discuss the best method of corn 1
production than politics," said a well p
known man several days ago. 1
There are in South Carolina over a
3,000 boys, the oldest not twelve years n
of age, who have planted one acre s
of corn during the present year. This
? "*?!? I? oa fViA fnonlt r\ f Q

the work of the United States farm
demonstration work. The sum of $8,- n
000 will be given as prizes to the r
boys. This means that 3,000 young
people of the rural districts are train- ^
ing themselves to be intelligent farmers
of the future.
Large Yields.
When the reports have been made g
during the coming fall it is expected d
that some reports will be received that
will attract national attention. It is e
believed that there will be several v
boys to produce as many as 200 bush- f
els on one acre of ground. Five years 1,
ago the farmers of the State wepe i,
content with from 8 to 25 bushels to h
the acre. At the present time there u
are scores of 100-bushel to the acre 0
fields in the State. b
The national department of agri- y
culture through the farm demonstra- t
tion office is lending every effo t to g
bring about an intelligent agriculture a
in this and the other States of the
South and much work of an effective j
nature has been done in this State. 1
Besides the boys' corn clubs there f
are many farmers in the State corn
contest and some interesting results
are expected from this feature of the
work.
In Clarendon county there are 143
boys planting an acre of corn. The j
boys'* corn clubs of that county are ,
under the direction of a special dem- j
onstration agent and the results ac- (
complished will be watched with in- r
terest by the national office of farm E
demonstration work. \

ny thing I wouldn't do to help a prety

All you have to do, girls, is to

. Organise Your Forces.
We suggest that the candidates in

CROWD SMALL BUT ATTENTIVE.
Butler Made N'o Speech?Flnley and
Heury Had Quite a Lively Tine?
Flnley Complimented Cheraw and
Predicted a Great Future
Last night the candidates for Congress
from this District filled their
app intment here.
In the absence of the chairman of
the local Democratic Club, Mr. R. T.
las ton, the meeting was called to order
by Mr. H. P. Duvall, Sr., who Introduced
each of the candidates as their
turn came.
Mr. T. B. Butler, of Gaffney, was the
first speaker. Mr. Butler did not try
to matte a speecn owing to in iaci mat,
his time was very limited, he having
received word that he was needed at
home on account of sickness in his
family. He simply announced his
candidacy and thanked the people of
Chesterfleld county for support which
they were going to give him.
The next speaker introduced was
Mr. D. E. Flnley, the present Congressman,
who is seeking reelection.
The crowd still being very small, ,
Mr. Finley started off by saying that ,
"choice articles were put up in small
packages," and comparing the audience
With that, he complimented Cheraw
whenever an opportunity presetted
Itself. He believes that Cheraw Is
destined to be a large city, having the
largest river In the State of South
Carolina, the Great Pee Dee, at'its
plained how it came to be as it Is today.
He explained certain matters
in regard to the war department and
Its movements and the military service.
He explained his vote in reard
to the R. F. D. service.
Mr. J. K.Henry, of Chester, was next
peaker. Mr. Henry began his speech
|Vith humerous remarks and criticised
he actions of Mr. Finley at every point
ossible. He was called down several
imes by Mr. Finley. Mr. Henry exlained
his platform, saying that it
svas a platform of his own and one
ihat he could carry. That Mr. Finley
had stood straddle of tbe Democratic
platform ever since he had been in
>ublic life. Mr. Henry wants to give
the negro a voice in public affairs, a
representative in the House and Senate,
and some legal authority.
All the candidates received liberal
applause, but the crowd seemed to be
with Mr. Finley.
Dr. J. LaBruce Ward, director of rural
sanitation, will deliver a lecture on
he hook worm disease in the town hall
at 9 o'clock on Thursday night, Aug.
4th. The public is cordially invited to
attend. The lecture will be illustrated
and will be instructive and interesting
to all. No one in our community

subject.
