' An agricultural experiment station
Iihh been established on the costal
regions at Jedburg, near Charleston,
by Clemson College, for the pur
pose of carrying on experiments In
planting the swamp lands near the
sea coaat. l>ast week the trustees
of Cemson Colllege purchased two
hundred acres of the rich Pee I)ee
lands near Florence for the purpose
of making an experimental farm.
The College expects to establish an
experimental farm in the sat>d hill
section of the state for the pur
pose of demonstrating the methods,
of. farming In sand hills. The Cam
den Chamber of Commerce has been
in correspondence with the author
ities at Clemson College for some
time In reference to establishing an
experimental farm here, and were
assured they would consider Camde
whenever tthey placed a station in
this section of the state. In case
Camden is selected, the town will be
greatly benefitted by the extensive
advertising she will receive in the
bulletins Issued every month, and
then, too, the world will be shown
that sand hill lands are the very
best sort for farming purposes.

"Were you present at our Con
ference last year? If so, you were
much benefitted. You know that it
was meeting where men came, not
to make gre^t "speeches," but to
earnestly seek out the simple truth.
This year the Conference will be
doubly Interesting, because men
whom you have known for years wll
tell how they tlpplied this simple
truth to the soil, getting as much

Tribute of Respect.
Last Sunday morning a shadow
of sorrow was cast over our town
when It became known that Ker
shaw Thorne had passed from earth
to eternity. JHe was 16 years of
age, and was born near Cassatt,
8. C., where his mother, Mrs. J. E.
Brannon, now lives. His father,
Mr. Tom Thorne, was .killed by a
train several yea?s ago in Kershaw.
Kershaw came to Pageland in
October to attend the graded school,
and was boarding , with his aunt,
Mrs. J. E. Croswell. Just ten days
before his death, he was taken with
a chill which developed into pneu
monia, causing his death. His fa

complished and he must needs go

Kershaw < was possessed of unus
ual traits of character. Afe a friend
he was kind and obliging; mi a pu

and as a son he was thoughtful and
affectionate. He was by natjire
quiet and reserved, but beneath it
all lay a big, kind heart and 3 re
markable childish fatth In God and
His power. Not even delirium dis
turbed his faith in prayer* and when
ever consciousness returned to him

it proved out all right. The dry

I would say in reply to your fa
vor of the 4th, that I used Germ
ofert 700 lbs per acre with nothing
else and am getting two bales per
acre 500 lbs each. I am getting
no moro per acre where I used an
- 8-4:^ 1,000 lbs per acre, made of .
C. S. Meal, Basis Slagand Miniate
Potash. I expect to buy Germo
fert again. Would say I bought it
as an experiment this year, as ma
ny were knocking it. I believed in
it from theory but it has passed
tho experimental stage.

Dear Sirs: It gives me great
pleasure to recommend your Germ
ofert, especially 30-4-4 for cotton.
I have used it for several yeara and
It undoubtedly increased my yield.
This has been an exceptionally un
favorable season with us/ but V1
can see the difference in the crop,
where I used Gemofert. .Several of
my neighboring farmers have used
it, and they praise it very highly.

tire satisfaction this season. I
used 400 lbs. Germofert 30-3-3 and
200 lbs. Kainlt per acre with 100
lbs. Soda efe a top dresser . and my

? ory aiiie on the plantation, not with- _
standing our crops suffered from
the storm of Aug. 28th to a consid
erable extent. '
I have been using Germofert for
several years and am fully convinc
ed that it is the best Fertilizer for
the money on the market. From
paBt experience, I would rather use
your Special 25-4-5 for Tobbacco,
than anything I have ever used, and
recommend It to all Tobacco grow
ers, and 1 do so on past experience.

first in this neighborhood, and I

This year I used 600 lbs. 30-4-4
100 pounds Soda to my Corn and
made 40 bus. per acre. If we could
have had a little more rain I am
