(Continued from page 1, column ( Military Academy, Columbia Hig School and a number of teams n< connected with any school. * The school has an exceptional fine athletic field, for which: it is i: debted to W. D. Rhoad, one of Bar berg's most sterling citizens and staunch friend of the institution. Tv years ago he presented the scho with a 3 1-2 acre tract of land ai joining the campus, and this h; been converted into one of the fine athletic fields to be found at any i: stitution of learning in the Stat Next session the intention is to pi out a football and a track tear Under the direction of the physic director, Mr. Buse, it is confident expected that the school will mal a splendid showing in all forms athletics common to institutions learning in this section of the cou try.

Now comes another South Carolii boy, Terry Dill, of Greenville count to teach a profitable lesson to his el er agriculturists, by raising a p weighing 308 pounds at an expen of 3.8 cents a pound, says Stanl Johnson in the American Magazi for June. Terry Dill and his pig ha arrm Vinnnrc onnal to thfi5P attain by Jerry Moore a few years ago his record of 256 3-4 bushels of co from one acre of land, winnir among other distinctions, a niche the American Magazine's hall of fai ?"Interesting People." Indeed, far as regards Terry's achieveme the South Carolina commissioner agriculture tells me "This boy, to i mind, has done even more in the w of building for the future than < V Jerry Moore, for he has demonstrated j " to the grown farmer that hog meat i = can be raised at home for less than j 4 cents per pound; something I have! 0 = been trying to drill into their brains for the last six or seven years." 1 = Terry is 16 years old; when we I *" k? contemplate the daily quotations for j *1 m- pork chops, ham, bacon, lard and J n? sausage, we may justly acclaim him *T.~ as a bucolic David slaying our fearCK a some national Goliath?the high by price of living. ^ Terry Dill's achievement was posgt? sible because of the splendid com- ^ munity spirit abounding in Green- u 0; ville county, where everybody be- d 18? came interested in the idea of a ^ )le S Rnva' Pie Glnb. The leadiner daily i ? eh paper in the county offered a prize ii of $50 to the winner, and a leading a mercantile house paid $50 for the J its winning pig. The Greenville board 0 ad of trade was the umpire in the proceeding, printing the rules and list * >n. v Ij of prizes for distribution throughout r 58. the county. It became a popular c *?~ method of advertising for merchants a to join in offering special prizes^? g clothes, shoes, pocketknives, safety ng razors, corn planters, and many oth1 er commodities?for particular exy3 cellence in pig raising, so that near?se ly every boy of the twenty contest- ^ *r" ants with Terry had something to hope for, if failing the capital prize, or The percentages for determining the ' in winner embraced four points: Gain in *e weight, 50; cost of feeding, 30; general condition of the pig, 10; and F = neatness and completeness of the record, 10. Any kind of pig might E be entered, not over sixty days old, b and the contest extended from April a _ until October. Every month "a re- k or , ,, port was filed with the secretary of d 511 T ? the board of trade, stating gain in or . . . a: ? A ? x J 1- ? % ^3 *\^ ^/\/\ J WeLglll, clLLIU U LI I auu tviUU Ul tuuu 51*-| q en and its cost. Grass pasturage was ns standardized at 25 cents a month, se cultivated pasturage at 75 cents a |s_ month, corn at $1 a bushel, butter- 0 a milk at 5 cents a gallon, and the j ^ d, values of wheat, meal, rye, etc., were C( ts differentiated at a rate uniform for j tl n_ all contestants. An agent of the i E jn United States farm demonstration of service, and a professor of the State a )n agricultural college acted as judges p ey and advisers. Finally the pig was of weighed by three disinterested peo ;c- pie, and under affidavit the figures d o- for the twenty-one pigs were filed with the Greenville board of trade. ? t1 The contest was very close. Terry's p ty was not the heaviest pig, and his jn average gain in weight was 14.55 a id pounds a week, for the full term, ^ to against 17.85 pounds for the boy tl jh raising the heaviest. On this point le Terry scored 44 points. But the c< id heaviest pig cost 5.5 cents a pound m while Terry's, with a cost of 3.8, p re won the perfect score of 30 points, fj 10 Another boy was too kind altogether et and spent 9.2 cents a pound. Terry js< at scored the perfect 10 points for the ti is "general condition" of his pig, so it V( er would be unfair to omit the fact s, that, so far as he was concerned, the si \ id pig was perfect in everything. The st neatness and completeness of Terry's * tit reports were only 1 point short of s( ih the perfect 10. He won with a score " ill of 93 points. The papers throughout h- the South proclaimed the thought of ^ the Greenville Pig club as an inspira- ^ = tion, and Terry Dill's victory as the solution of the problem of home- ^ 5) grown "hog and hominy." p, Terry Dill's personal relations with w ' his pig should not pass unrecorded. ? Recently, a Harvard professor has lv declared that every pig would be a el * gentleman if he had a chance; but a before this erudite oracle had pro- ^ claimed this truth Terry had proved ti it. He gave his pig the chance, and o: ? he proved a marvel of personal cleanol ai ^ liness. Terry built the pen himself, southwest of a large barn sheltered It t from the north winds and in a position where it could catch all the sunlight. Every day Terry carefully ~ ''manicured" him with a currycomb and a horse brush, until, as Terry n. j expresses it, "he was as fat and slick 0 I as a butter ball." He also made him B _e a new bed each day. A few days be- ~ fore the period of the contest was to end Terry's pig caught cbld and became hoarse. In consternation * n- o ? Terry devised a remedy of kerosene and grease and swabbed out his ^ a- throat, forcibly holding him mean- E time. During the last month the pig ^ registered a gain of ninety-nine h pounds! He was so fat, Terry re- f cords, that his eyes were closed, and t: aa he had to be pushed in the direction * it was desired he should go. a Terry Dill is a favorite correspond- * ent of mine. He is vitally interested J se in the career of a farmer, and he c e?r writes so alluringly of it that his ex- e ne ample rises to the dignity of a temp- ^ ve tation. It seems as if his achieve- >, ea j ment should be emulated in vicinities p ^ where the abandoned farm crop is 1 rn most abundant, and where there are * j no county boards of trade to conceive p in j the idea of putting a little "pep" in116 j to the life of the farmer boy. In 3 s0 certain Eastern districts, for exam- ( nt' pie. a County Pig club, with these t variegated stimuli, might once more make "hog-killin* time" the joyous a-" precursor to Thanksgiving that it used to be a generation ago.
