It is amusing how some fello^
who have forgotten all about us f
years suddenly remember us so w<
? when they become candidates f
public office.
We are glad to note that electio
are soon to be held for the purpo
of improving the rural schools. Col
ton will soon have a fine school, as
result of the election recently hel
and now Midway and Hutto distric
will soon vote on the question of co
solidation, while Salem will vote <
additional levy. This evidence
progress in educational matters <
the part of our people shows that thare
thinking of the best interests
their children, and we trust the ele
tions will result in favor of the pr
jects outlined.
Why don't the Orangeburg coun
authorities put the road betwe<
Bamberg and Orangeburg in go(
shape? The road from Bamberg
the river is a good one, but throu?
the swamp for some distance on tl
Orangeburg side the road is bad ai

Orangeburg want to come over he
and people from Bamberg1 want to t
to see their Orangeburg friends, y
they hate to take the trip on accoui
of this bad piece of road. There
considerable automobile travel ov<
this road now between the two town
lS
and there would be more if the ro*
was put in good shape. We tru
our Orangeburg friends will get rig]
after their officials and bring su<
pressure to bear that this road wi
be made one of the very best hig
ways in that good county.

* 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.

Terry Dill and His Pig.
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:

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.
