BOYS' CORN CLUB < ORGANIZED. . SATISFACTORY INITIAL MEETING SATUR 9k DAY - PROF HARPER GIVES VALUABLE POINTERS THE ORGANIZATION. Notwithstanding the severe weather quite a number of boys, farmers ' and other business men met in the ^ court house on last Saturday for the purpose of organizing a Boys'I Corn club for this county. Prof J N Harper, director of the1 Experiment Station work of Clem- j son College, was introduced by I ^ Superintendent of Education Mc-: Collough and occupied an hour in apeakiug with boys and farmers1 about the selection of corn seed, j the preparation of the soil, fertilizers j and cultivation. Prof Harper's talk was full to the brim of what our farmers need to know, and it is unfortunate that; all our boys could no: have heard' him. The selection and improyeaifatj ' of the seed is of vital importance. For a long time the improvement, of stock by proper breeding has; been recognized, but the proper' selectiou and breeding of our seeds j is comparatively a recent matter.j He would not advise the boys to j depend on seed houses for tneir i seed corn, because corn does not al- j ways do well from seed grown at a ! distance. Rather procure seed from some one in the county who has a good corn, and try to improve it by proper selection. Corn needs au abcndance of moisture, and the sorest way to procure it is deep ploughing and thorough preparation of the 6oil, and an abundance of hamus. Such a soil rarely suffers for want of rain. Corn feeds largely oq phosphoric acid, hot in its latter growth is an abundant feeder on nitrogen. V It needs very little nitrogen until p it begins to tassel. He therefore advises fertilizing with acid phos ?? phate and mnriate of potash at planting time, and giving side ap|F plications of cotton-seed meal, and W still later using about 200 pounds of^nitrale of soda: 500 poauds acid phosphate, 400 pounds cotton seed msal, 100 fpounds muriate potash would be a good preparation, using as much as desired and in addition the top dressing of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda. After Prof Harper's talk the Superintendent of Education oganiz mention the'paper. tf j Plant Wood's Seeds I For Superior Crops j) j Wood's 30th Annual Seed Book j is one of the most useful and complete seed catalogues issued.

Improved Farm Methods - Farmer Sells Bacon-Log Train Wrecked. ; Andrews, February 21:?Considerable interest in farming is manifested in this section. Nearly all the : farmers are busv putting in up-toJute wire fences around their farms * L I * a p.'I running uieir twu-uuiac ((ivns. This is a farm development that will in the near future bring prosperity. The question of improved seed is a vital one for our cotton and corn growers to loqk after now he fore the time of planting. It seems that our farmers should get information from Clemson Experiment Station. This institution is supported by the State and should aid us in securing the best seed. Let every farmer this year try a small lot of improved seed. Improved methods, improved seed and improved farm machinery will bring success to our community. Mr W A Moore, one of the best farmers of this community, had a wagon-load of home-cured bacon in j town for sale last Saturday. The writer is informed that this bacon was sold for 14 to 15 cents a pound. Xow, if oue farmer can raise meat enough for his own consumption and to sell, where is the excuse for twothirds of our neonie buvimr all thev " "" * " I i ~ * use? Lack of effort ou your part, brother farmers. There will be a protracted meetiug at Harmony church this week, conducted by the pa3tor, Rev W T Bcdenbaugh, assisted by Rev Mr Yarborough. We hope to see a great spiritual work done at this meeting. The G & W railroad had one of the most serious wrecks last Thursday that has happened ou their line recently, and the passenger traio was delayed nearly twenty-four hours getting by the debris. One of the ACL log trains heavily loaded with logs was wrecked near Sampit station. The wrecking crew worked with a large^force of hands day and night until the wreck was cleared. Subscriber. Deafaess Caiitt be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you bare a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result,and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send forcirculsrs free F J Chenet & Co., Toledo, 0. Sold by Druggists, ?5c.

Ten Doctors Said He Would Die "In 1903 we wrote you regarding my husband, who was suf- 1 fering from heart trouble. lie j was superanuated by the North I Georgian Conference. Ten doc- i tors at different times said he would die. You advised Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and l\c storative JNcrvme; we diu as advised, and improvement was ; apparent from the very first. He j recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he j has very heavy work and docs ! a great deal of camp meeting i work. I am so glad we took ! your advice and gave him the ' medicine, and feel that I ought to let you know of the wonder- j ful good results from its use." 1 MRS. T. S. EDWARDS, ! Milner, Ga. 1 This proves what Dr. Miles' 1 Heart Remedy will do. Get a ! bottle from your druggist and j take it according to directions. It does not matter whether your I heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does not benefit you take the empty bottle to your druggist and get your money back. TF?
