Moore, recently appointed county farm demonstrator, has writ ten the following as to his first month's work: After a month's work in the agri cultural deomnstration work in the upper half of Laurens county, I am much gratified with the otulook. The first two weeks were spent in and near Laurens getting oice arrangements, getting acquainted with both business men and farmers, learning the roads, trying to get acquainted with my du ties, etc. The last two weeks have been spent principally visiting schools in the Interest of boys clubs. While on these visits however, I have en CI'NTON I.t.t The Citizens of Clinton are noni school building to meet. the needs of deavored to get acquainted with as many farmers as possible, farmers of all classes.

Followers. Tiresome reference is made to leaders and the need of leadership. To stand in the spotlight and strike "keynotes" and drink in the cheer ing till the head swims with the honor and the glory, Is a pleasing fancy. The ambitious young mian shrewdly realizes that the following may be taxed, if not sued, for non support of its leader and a soft berth assured himn. False or great or good, the leaders after all who actually lead are made by their followers. It is easy to convince anyone that he should he a man to stand in front. What of the man who walks in the middle or, determined not to be left 1)E1) 80100L. lreparing to cree. a more adequate at steadily int'reasing i student body. behind, draws up the rear The real hero is the man who is convinced that the cause is worthy and that he must follow. If the man up front is weak and the cause is precious, it takes grit to lag along behind and push. When adversity tries the self-appointed leauder, the follower becomes the mov er: for along with others he has vtored utp1 the nitotienttuil which will .ot I" stopped. liontor belongs of cour-' to wise leade'rslip; hbut what of the iten in the ranks? The ideal follower is not hard to find. lis type tnay be developed by citing tv.o instances. Id'ete, for ex aluitle, is the itan1 withoit anl educa tion, who says, "I never had an edl cation but I'll see that iny children get. it; I see the need of it." lie has put p10 with the worst types of schools and with incopetee of teachers, and with diiliculties of the eibarrass ing sort that have a way of bother ing inen with childreu to send to school; buit through rain and the heat and blirden of the day he has held to that grim purpose, to give his chil dren better training Ithan his oppor tunities allowed htii. Solne of them will overlook the example he leaves themt, will be unworthy, may even despise hiis saceritliee. Io Is thIte sort of herto whto ntev'~er lets go. Ile is coni tentt to follow.
