"I suffered with my head and back, for over six yean,
and although I tri£d everything, I never could get any
thing to do me any good, until I began to take Caftiui.
Cardui has surely helped me and built me up and I
am so thankful that ( have found something that will do
me good. • I feel so much stronger and better than 1 have

PICNIC AT PENIEL
The Farmers’ Institute, Good
Roads Meeting and picnic at Peniel
Thursday was one of most delightful
and enjoyable occasions ever given
in this section.
The j-icnic was given under the au
spices of the Peniel Farmers’ Union
and there were at least 750 people
present to enjoy the hoepiulity of
these good |»eople. '
The Clemson party of institute
workers, consisting of Profs. Con-
radi, Keitt. Jackson and Superinten
dent |). N. Barrow, were all present,
and addrear^d the farmers on their
particular line*, covering practically
the same features as were covered
at the Horse Pen meeting Wednes
day. Hon. James Henry Rice, pres
ident of the State Audubon Society,
was also present.
Superintendent Barrow mhde his
first appearance today, and a brief
synopsis of his address follews.
At one o’clock a picnic dinner,
that would liave fed three times the
crowd, was laid on the tables under
the oaks and partaken of by those
present. In the afternoon there
were speeches by Prof. Barrow and
Hon. D. H. Winslow, United States
Expert in charge of road construc
tion. and Prof. Conradi. These
speeches were all attentively listened
to and enjoyed. President L. C.
Padgett, of the County Farmers’
Union, presded over this meeting,
and made one of his charateristic ad-
drese-es.
The Institute was held Friday
afternoon at Cross Swamp.
In the afternoon Prof. D. N. Bar-
row, Superintendent of the Clemson
Extension work, was the first speak
er. He hsd a chart showing the
relative conditions in different parts
of the country.
The farmers of New’ York, Illinois
and other Northern States make
more per capita than down South.
He showed that in these states farm
laborers use more horse power.. In
Illinois the farmer uses over 3 horse
power per capita, while down in
South Carolina each farmer uses f of
a horse power. 'The result is that
down South we depend too much on
brute strength. The white man
must use his superior brain.
The argument down South is that
negroes cannot use these improved
implements. This is not ttue, and
will be found so if we try the ma
chinery. Supt. Barrow madejh very
practical speech in discussing his
subject.
D. H. Winslow, the United States
expert in charge of road constitu
tion showing the relation of good
roads to education. Mr. Winslow
said the small school house is along
the bad road, while the good schools
are along the good roads. In the
states where the roads are bad you
have the percentage of illiteracy of
4 per cent, while in the States where
you have good roads the percentage
of illiterracy is less than A per cent.
Children cannot attend school where
the roads are bad. Improve your
road* and you improve your schools.
Toe little child goes to school and
brings home a fittle card represent
ing his standing in the school. If he
has bad roads, he cannot attend reg
ularly and consequently her card
does not show.
In regard to land values he cited
iqptances where lands had jumped
from $20 to $60 per acres'‘and nu
merous instances of an increase of
100 to 300 per cent. Good roads do
not maks land valuable but it makes
land values possible.
Speaking of sand-day road?, Mr.
Winslow, said it was baaed on the
following prindples: Sand when
wet will support a load, the clay
when dry will support a load. Here
are two tendencies, and when com
bined they produce a hard substance
—a solid maM. If you use day and
•and in proper proportions you fH
a«good road.
Some counties place day on
and others put sand on day. and im
agine they are getting sand-day
roads. They are not they are get
ting sand-day crusts. Hus is not
properly sand-day roads and is not
