The Idea of Tomato Clubs Originated 1 With Miss Cromer, of Aiken, Who Believed that "The Divine Gifts of I the Soil Should Possess Something ( "f for Girls," and Organized a Club in iller Community. F >.* th > biuifii of fch m? who ar interested in the Girls' Tomato I' Olubi 1 will endeavor to give some u information about the movement. f\ Tae first orginiz-vi agricultural i movement for women. Tue movel inon*. was originated two years ago \ by Miss Marie S. Cromer, a teacher I in tne public school of South Curoli* na. The first Girls' Tomato Club ! ^ was organized in January 1910, in 1 * Miss Cromer's school in Aiken * county. Each girl marked off one, tenth of an acre and planted it in tomato seeds. Miss Cromer offered 1 prizes to tho members of her Club, \ r and after the contest in tho Fall, she sold their tomatoes for them. I Believing as she did, that "the dill vine gifts of the soil should pos sess something for girls, "she tried in this way to help the girls of her community. She never dreamed that her idea would b) incorporated I in the great National movement now known as the Girls' Tomato I Club. Tae importance of Miss Cromer's idea was soon discussed by the UniI ted States Farm Demonstration j Service. The late Dr. S. A. Knapps, the founder of the demonstration work, who was then at the head of that Bureau secured the sum of $5,000 to buy canning outfits and to send ex perionced operators to take a hand <*in the game. Iri May 1910, the Geni eral Education Board gave $25,000 J to help carry on the good work. In the same year club3 were organized in Virginia as well us in South Carof lina, about325 girls were enrolled. Miss Katie Uunter, or aamaria, Aiken County, S. C., put up 512 cans of tomatoes, realizing a net profit of about $40 00 from the crop, at this rate she would have cleared ^$400 on one acre, haviug planted only one-tenth of an acre. Because of this remarkable rocord Kaoio Gunter has become quite as famous as Jere Moore. Besides mauy other honors she has been givon a four years scholarship to VVinthrop Normal and Industrial College. Other members of the clubs have since surpassed Mi-js Gun tor *6 record, making larger yield, but she will always wear the honor of having shown to the world the wonderful possibilities of tomato culture. Ia 1911 more than 3,000 girls representing 8 different States joined the club and planted their gardens. Many of these girls canned over 500 quarts of tomatoes from their tenth of an acre, besides ketchups ^pickles, chow chow, preserves and i other products. A few got nearly 100 cans each and cleared $1 00, besides prizes. Now this year a very much larger organization will be undertaken, 1912 ought to be the ^ greatest year yet in the history of ' " ?u- /"-lI ' TC\.ir? o f-/? P.lnho enrol v IL (It; VJf 1113 JL W11J c? uw v/ i 1.1 u r.u v. J the divine gifts of the soil does possess something for girls. I The objects of the Girls Demonstration work ere given by the Department of Agriculture are. 1. To stimulate interest and wholesome co-operation among the members of the family in the home. 2. To p-ovide some means by which the girls may earn money athome and at the same time get the educations and viewpoint necessary j ffrr the ideal farm life. 3. To encourage rural families to provide purer and better food at \ a lower cost, and to utilize the surplus and otherwise waste products i . of the garden and orchard. I y 4. To furnish earnest teachers to J plan for aiding their pupils and f helping their communities. If there are any girls in the county who are. thinking of j uning the Club, I hope you will send in your name, age, and address to me as soon as possible. It is now late, I but not too late to plant your seeds j I am sure you will be glad to know that Horry more members / in the Girl*' Tomato Clubs s-> far f than miv other countv in the State.

L. / nouncement is made in this issue of tho paper, and thus give good notice for those who desire to consult him, to come to Conway on next Saturday and see him. His work in this county has been very successful, hundreds of cases having been treated, and the patients are already enjoying the better health that has come to them as a result of the work The papers have advertised the different places in the county where the doctor made weekly visits for thv; purpose of giving treatment, and the people have not been slotf in taking advantage of the treatment. Toddville Tidings. Miss Maggie Oliver of G reenwood, who attended the Toddville school for the last five months, has entered the Burroughs school at Conway. W, D. Lowrimore, of Dongola, was hero a few days ago, and spent sometime with this writer, and in a casual way mentioned the face that he was still in "the hands of his friends." Mr. W K. tJamilton accompanied by his charming daughter, Miss Annabel, paid us a pop call Wednesday. Mr. Hamilton is an experienced photographer and is getting liberal patronage from our little town. We notice that tho legislature has passed some bills which if carried out, will effect Horry materially. From general observation, we are of the opinion that the county poor farm is running the county in debt and therefore, should be disposed of to the best advantage. In reference to the bridge across Kingston Lake, the Super visor has spent too much money on it to even consider the advisability of a new bridge, of course, should it become necessary to build a new bridge, by all means, the present site is the proper place, and we don't believe that any reasonable man could advance any reasonable argument why a change should be made. - Forecast.

On Account of the Inclement Weather of the Past Three Months Work for the School Has Been Retarded and But Little Progress Towards Its Establishment Has Been Made?Renewed Efforts to Be Put Forth. When Rev Dr E O Watson comes here, to lecture for the Public Libra ry next Thursday be will spend &ev oral days in our community to perfect final plans for the establishment of the Industrial school. The weather conditions during the past three months have been so unfavorable that very little if any progress has been made in reaching linal conclusions. Dr. Watson is as fully interested as ever in this splendid movenjenfc which will mean so much for our section of South Carolina. Ho expects on this approaching visit to get everything in shape and so proceed with the establishment of the institution. If we are to have this school at all we must act now and definitely. It is understood that Dr. Watson will remain in Conway several days and will be able to give ample time and attention to this matter. magistrate s i^ouri. Magistrate W H Chestnut was busy at his office last Tuesday for some time hearing a motion for change of venue in the various cases growing out of disputes between the Browns and Davis in Dog Bluff Township. The fiist warrants issued were some taken out by the Messrs Davis against Lin Brown, one of the warrants charging him with having committed an assault and battery on a little girl, theother charging an assault and battery with intent to kill against Liu Brown and Penny Brown, his wife, on the person of A E Davis, About the time these two warrants were served, Lin Brown swore out a warrant for Davis charging assault and battery, and in this case Penny Brown, the wife of Lin Brown will bo the prosecutor. The Bruwns objected to having the trial before Magistrate Chestnut, and after hearing argi.mmts last Tuesday the magistrate decided that he would take the warrants to Magistrate Grainger on Tuesday,April 9th, and if Mr Grainger, who is reported as being ill, is able at that time to bear the cases, they will bo transferred to him, and he will hear them that day, otherwise the warrants will be turned over to another magistrate to try. There was doubt in the mind of the court as to whether Magistrate Grainger could hear the cases owing to his recent severe ill ness, and tbe prosecution objects to getting the cases tied up. Quite a number of people from Dog Bluff were in town on Tuesday, interesteo in the trial of these cases. Conway Methodist Church. Services for Sunday, March 31st: Sunday school at 9:45 a m.
