Pitts, county hui < iiti tendonl of education, returned Thurs day night from Columbia, where bo attended the Conference tor Common Good and made an address before that gathering. Mr. Pltth was very cnthu BiaStiC over tile good i sal's of the conference and unoko highly of the many Hue adddressoB which were heard and of the Impressions gather ed there. From the newspaper ac counts, Mr. Pitts took a prominent part In the couforence, his address outlining 'the progress being made In this county and his optimism for the future being heartily received and widely commented upon. The follow ing very complimentary letter from the president of the Conference was received by Mr. Pitts: Columbia, & C, Aug. s, 1013. Supt. Qeorge L. I'ltts, Laurens, s. C. My Dear Mr. I'ltts: As president of the Conference for the Common Good, allow me to thank you most heartily for your excellent address of yesterday morning. If this address yu revealed yourself not only as an active worker, but a clear think er and a true orator. I have heard many compliments on your talk. It was Just what 1 wanted. Sincerely. W. K. T?te. Besides giving an outline of his speech the day after It was delivered, The State had the following to say Saturday morning: "George L. Pitts, supervisor of edu cation for I jam ens county, Is a firm believer in the Conference for the Common Good. In his address Thursday morning he said: . "?Every true son and daughter of South Carolina should, indeed, hall with delight tills Conference for the Common Qood. Its purpose is a laudable one. It was conceived and made possible through the thoughts, efforts and means of those who have at heart the best interest and com mon good of our entire country. Sub jects are being discussed here which are of vital Interest to every man, wo man and child of the Palmetto State, and which will bring forth a harvest of an hundred fold. Our people have always gladly and bravely answered every call of the country, when clothed in truth, justice and common good; and today, behold the great army of true South Carolinians fight ing for education, moral, social and business development, inarching un der a Moating Hag with tills insignia: For the Common Good! "Another encouraging thought to nie is that the most vital part of this great conference is dedicated to the cause of education, not so much to our higher institutions, but to the foundation upon which our colleges stand, and to which they must always look for strength and support. I re fer to the hoys and girls yonder i.. our country districts and mill vil lages. I say It it, indeed, significant that the preacher has left Iiis study, the banker his vault, the lawyer his client, the doctor Iiis patient, the merchant his counter, the farmer his plow, tlie carpenter his tools, and the tui 111 man his spindles, all to ded icate their time, thought and talent to subjects of interest and common rood to our hoys and girls, who have been so long and so sadly neglected. 1 trust this conference will moisten and germinate many sleeping seeds of en ergy and that they wil burst forth and bear fruit. This conference should be carried from the State capitol to the county court house, and from the county court house to the district school. Miracles would he worked if every school district in the State had a live working club for the common good." I Death of W. A. Mi-Snalii. Cross Hill, Aug. 12.--Mr. H. L.

Damaged i?y Drought* Washington, Aug. 8.?A loss of 300, 000. 000 bushels of corn, the nation's tlon's groatost farm crop, has resulted from the great damage wrought by drought and other conditions since July 1, It was estimated today by the government agricultural experts in their August crop report. A total pro duction of 2,672,000,000 bushels of corn was predicted, This is 452,000, 000 bushels l?ss than last year's crop. The general condition of corn was pi.iced at 7G.8 per cent, of a normal, compared with 86.9 per cent, on July 1. Kansas was hit hardest, the condi tion there having been reduced from 81 per cent, in July to 30 on August 1. Oklahoma came next with a conidtion of 44, agulnst *7 in July, and Ne braska reported 07, against '.'I July 1. These three; states have almost 1!? per cent, of the total area planted In corn this year. Wheat is Good. A bright spot in the monthly grain report, however, was in the prelimi nary statistics showing a production of f. 11.000,000 bushels of winter wheat. This is the greatest harvest of wheat ever gathered in the United States, exceeding the record crop of 1902 by 19,000,000 bushels. Today's figures exceeded by 2S.000.000 bushels the estimate made by the department in July. ? Spring wheat too. was given an In creased estimate of 0 per cent., it being lf?.000,000 bushels more than the July estimate, the total being placed at 2:{:i,000,000 bushels. Produc tion of all wheat Is estimated at 744, 000,000 bushels, a crop which would place the year's production second on ly to the record crop of 1901, when 7IS.000.000 bushels were produced. The harvest of white potatoes, it Is estimated, will he smaller by 82,000, 000 bushels than the crop of 1912. MADDEN NEWS ? Madden.
