The announcement that there Would be another corn contest; a, this year has been received with much interest by the farmers of the State. The previous records j made by South Carolina along1 ^ this line attracted much atten ^ tion throughout the country and therefore some of the points inW Tolved will be of value to those who contemplate entering the; contest. They are giver below: i. "This competition nas been! inaugurated with a view to in i crease grain growers' protit.s by | increasing the yield per acre, j and also the quantity of corn; and oats through simple metli-! 3ds of seed selection and proper! - ir culture. It is so named irom me fact that it cannot but result in H adding thousands in the aggre gate to the protits of those en gaged in agriculture in this I State. The contest will be conducted by the State department of agriculture of South Carolina. Objects of the Contest. 4,1. To encourage the proper v selection of seed and better care |tv of soils. R 2. To centre attention upon K varieties that are superior foi B each section, to introduce seed R of such varieties that are pure and true to name, and to prove B that when such varieties are grown under normal conditions, it is not necessary to so fre quently change seed. "3. To encourage better methI ods of culture and harvesting,so f as largely to increase average b yields per acre and improve I; quality. u4. To show that such results L can be had at less expense of |l. time,money and labor than poor-1 er crops wneu mucasc m ^ B.i is considered. IT . "5.

Profits resulting from the entire operation 15 "Total points 100 "The scale of points offers every inducement to truthfulness, and by means both apparent and secret the judges will beenabled to exercise righteous judgment. There is no need or inducement for misrepresentation, and anything of the sort will be detrimental to the contestant. The Prizes Offered. "The prizes offered are as fol-. lows: "Prize or. scale of points for one acre $125 "Prize on scale ot points tor five acres ....... 125 "Prize on yield per acre for one acre 50 "Prize on yield per acre for five acres 75 "Second prize on scale of points for one acre 50 "Second prize on yield per acre on five acres . 50 "Boys' prize for yield per acre on one acre 25 "Total.. $500 Mr Watson's Statement. Regarding the contest Mr Watson said: "The contests that we have already held under legislative appropriations have proved of such immense value to the State iu dollars and cents, as has been demonstrated by their inJ fluence upon the remarkable advance made in the value of the corn crop in South Carolina in the last two years, that I am exceedingly hopeful of far better results from this year's contest than we have yet obtained from any of them. The change in the form of the appropriation bill adopted by the General Assemjbly this year leaves the matter of the conduct ot this contest entirely in the hands of the State department instead of in t^e commission of which I was a member in the past two contests. This I regret, but I wish to say that the gentlemen who have acted heretofore on the commission will be requested by myself to act with me as previously. 'An active interest is being manifested by the farmers in all parts of the State in this year's contest,and a considerable number of entries have already reached this department. I sincerely trust that ambitious farmers and farm boys of ever}' township in South Carolina will enter the contest this year. It costs th?m nothing to enter. I want to see as large a number as possible participating in this work, for even if there were no other consideration the lessons they will learn in the keeping of daily records,'as required by the manual, will be of immense value* thpm .inrl thpir n#?irrhhnrs as well. "In the general announcement that I have issued it will be seen that, instead of confining this year's contest to merely one acre, provision is also made for competition on live acres as well. Further provision is made for prizes for farmers' boys who bend their energies to the growing of corn on one acre. "I trust that the arrangement of prizes will stimulate not only the farmers of the State but their sons to enter this year's contest freely, and stimulate them to enter with a determination to win or be well up in the list of those who obtain the maximum yield."

Many Who Would Obey the law are Confused as to Its Provisions. Editor Corntv IIecokd.? I would like a small space in | your valuable paper 'o rr^ke n ! : little inquiry concerning I' >..1) law. In conversation with the j jram.e warden for this county 1 asked, when is nsmng pronmu-j | ee? His answer was, from Sat-1 iurdav, 1" o'clock p m, until! j " ! Tuesday after sunrise. Now, II notice in Charleston News and j Courier that tishin.*r is prohibited i from sunset Thursday until sunrise Monday. Which is correct? I believe in obey ng the laws of | the countrv, but these laws should be made public. Our people would like to be informed on these laws. If it is not asking | too much ot you, Mr Editor. ! trnnlfl^Mi mind oublishing the | ^"^verns these game | j wardens. r people are not a ! j lawless pe pie,but are generally law abiding.

Our Lake City correspondent, Hon W L Bass, who was actively concerned in the fish and game legislation at the recent session ot the Legislature, can probably give this correspondent the desired information. The new acts and joint resolutions have not yet been published, and we would not know where to find the fish and game law as amended to date, unless Mr Bass can help us. Editor The Record.

Mrs li L Logan, living on Depot Ave, Manning, S C, sajs: "I suffered a great deal from kidney trouble. 1 could not rest well at night on account of the too frequent action of the kidney secretions and my back ached and pained me constantly. There was also an aching through my kidneys and 1 could not find a position that was comfortable. I used plasters and liniments, but did not find relief. The secietion^ from my kidneys were highly colored, and contained a brick dust sediment. It was finally my good fortune to learn of Doan's Kidney Pills, aud I procured a-box and began their use. They banished the backaches and pains and regulated the action of my iiidueys. I feel a great deal better and can/ say that Doan's Kiduey Pills acted up to all claims made for them."
