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

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.
I Lot UvS all try to make Horry th%banner

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.

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.

to Visit Conway.
GETTING THINGS IN SHAPE.
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.

the Atlantic ocean near Myrtle
Beach, at 3.30 o'clock in the afternoon
by Mr Skipper, a Missionary

P J Elkes, was buried with the Lord
in Baptism.
ller young life had been given to
Jesus a good many years ago. She
seemed to lean upon the arms of our
Lord Jesus Christ with conlideuce
in his everlasting promises. She is
leading a very bright life and is following
in the foot prints of her
Savior with a zeal that is worthy of
imatation by the young people of
her acquaintance and those of the
community at large.
May the Lord continue to bless
her and all of his people now and
forever more. Mc.
