"RHOAD'S PARK." y Splendid Gift to Carlisle Fitting ? School by Mr. W. I). Rhoad. r g Carlisle Fitting School is to have a !1 new and splendid athletic field. This f fact is made possible through the [I generosity of Mr. W. D. Rhoad, one n of our leading and most progressive ", citizens, who has purchased a site and y presented it to the school for an athe letic field. The tract purchased, e which lies immediately to the rear n of the residence of Mr. R. C. Jones, n is splendidly situated and adapted to >- this purpose. It contains about three s and one-half acres, and is sufficiently d large for baseball, football, track, or i- any out-door game, a Out of consideration for Mr. U Rhoaa's generosity and friendliness e to the school the new ground will be ft known as "Rhoad's Park." It is the ?- purpose of the school authorities to e make this an athletic ground of the d first-class. Work will begin right s away in leveling, scraping, and packe ing. Later in the season the grand e stand will be erected and it is sup* * * i i.i. e posea mat wnen complete xvuuciu ? >. Park" will not be surpassed by any I, school ground in the State, t "Rhoad's Park" supplies a need g that has long been keenly felt at Carfa lisle. The school has been greatly l- hampered along athletic lines ber cause of the lack of adequate l. grounds. It is expected that all athu letic sports will be stimulated?the e students are considering putting out - a track team this spring in addition s to the baseball team, and next fall i, the school will doubtless have her e first football. Prospects are bright l. for a good baseball team this spring. Mr. Rhoad's gift is the first des cisive and material step towards the :. greater Carlisle. We have the possibility of building here one of the greatest secondary schools of the South. We are in just the section that needs such a school. The citi zens of Bamberg could do nothing better for themselves or their town ^ than to give this school the equipment that is needed. What are the g needs? The present needs are a new brick dormitory, that will increase t the boarding capacity to about one * hundred and twenty-five students, and a gymnasium with modern equip* ment. 0 DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHO0 ODIST CHURCH. 1 * r Preaching every Sunday morning 9 at 11 o'clock.

Wanderer's Rest, Jan. 20.?Are we j to have better seeds, more seeds that will increase the crops of oats, corn, cotton, peas, in fact every plant used for use of men or animals? Already men have brought corn not to perfection but much nearer than was thought possible a few years ago. , Then cotton has trebled in productiveness as well as in staple, so with many other plants, and still plant breeding seems to be in its infancy. Long strides are being made by Professor Worsham and others in sister States to improve cotton for the coming of boll weevil, and success has crowned their ef- * ? forts so it has been announced and Georgians can smile at the enemy as he speeds its journey for the East or North Pole, no one knows where it is to stop. A few months ago several prominent men of our little State conceived the idea of banding together r to further the process of making the staple of-cotton longer and finer and N co/mbine all or more of the fine qualities of sea island cotton and the 4 productiveness of the best varieties of upland cotton. This is to their credit and it is to be hoped that success will crown their efforts and every one in the State should give all the encouragement to the move possible and our legislature should provide ample funds to help them secure the desired end. The association met last Thursday, the 16th, in Commissioner Watson's office at. Columbia when a constitution and by-laws were made and signed. Mr. David L. Coker, of . Hartsville, was elected president, which means much for the associa- t tion, as he has done wonders in improving upland cotton and is a man of experience and ample means. An executive committee was elected to arrange for a meeting the 28th of January, during the national corn show, composed of the following coworkers in the cause: Dr. R. C. Kee, A. W. Brabham, of Olar; Prof. Barr, Clemson College; Prof. Moore, South Carolina University; Prof. * Berry, of Williamston College; and Mr. Boykin, of Laurens. This meeting is to be one of the most important perhaps ever held in the State, for the possibilities in the direction aimed at means much for the whole people of the State and country at large. This is an age of progress in everything but farming, and all points to a new era in that or all is lost. The well worn ruts of the past must be gotten'out of to keep pace with the age, and South Carolina soils have proven to he well suited to improved seed and methods and all will welcome the day when the desert places will blossom as the rose, for all right thinking men place the farmer as the most important man in his country and followed in the right way the most pleasant if not the most lucrative. Yet with full barns, stock and poultry, with vegetables plenty, who need fear go- f ing to bed hungry. God speed the association in its good work and help men to study the needs of the farmer and help him to apply them. Not a boys' corn club in this county last year; go to the corn show next week at Columbia and see the champion, Jerry Moore, and learn of him and his methods. All honor to him and all boys who try to excel, for it has been well said that he who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before is a benefactor to mankind. OLD TIMER.
