The results showed that in two instances yields were obtained in the State by boys exceeding: 150 bushels to the acre. In the boys' contests the yields were uniformly better j that in the men's.

C hhbmhhhbmwIi Fortune r itself very often in buying lint, alftrying to reach the id spreading qualities, witl "the store that you will ev fstree H* miuicdcuc aiiu r me truly delighted, because I feel | my efforts have been rewarded and | that I, to some extent, have shown i the possibilities of "Old Williamsburg" as a corn producing county. I think I shall give the boys the ring now, as I want to get in school as soon as I can, but I want to say this: With sufficient water supply and proper cultivation and plant food, any one would be surprised at the yield off one acre planted in anything. I have a letter from Mr Jacob Phinizy, president of the Georgia Railroad Bank, Augusta, Ga, stating that he would add $50.00 to the State premium if he could see the corn measured, as he did not believe that 150 bushels could be grown on up-land without a system of irrigation. He is right in the majority of cases, but, as I wrote him yesterday, irrigation would not have been any improvement on our seasons last or this vear, and if a storm had not damaged my corn so badly this vear, coming just as it began earing and breaking off so much of it, I would have shown at least 30 bushels more to my credit. I never replant any of my contest corn, but transplant, as you know, Mr Editor, it is so thick that re- ; planted corn would not gain suf- 1 ficient growth to make anything. I had this year 19,900 plants on ; the acre. The yield was 10,635 lbs of shucked ear corn, giving approximately 84 lbs of kernels and 16 i lbs of cobs per hundred weight. I ; have sent two quarts to Washington, also a bushel of ears to Mr E J Watson, Columbia, also my manual. I And now, kind editor, I desire to send you a photograph of the whole thing, just as it was, and will do it just as soon as they get in from Charleston, where they went for development.

Hebron, November 4:?The Hebron school is doing good work under the direction of Mr Mitchell, of Cherokee county, and Miss Ola McElveen of Hebron. The Lymesson literary society held its regular meeting last Friday afternoon and the following officers i were elected for the year: miss Flora Kennedy, president; Miss Mable Coker, vice president; Mr Leroy Smith, secretary and treasurer; Miss Mae Gowdy, first critic; Mr Wilfred Gowdy, second critic. Miss Marie Buddin of Turbeville is visiting Misses Mae and Marie Gowdy. Mr Clarence Kennedy is able to be out. after a very severe illness. "Grasshopper," I am so very sorry I didn't know that the editor had you employed to correct the writings for the paper. You see, if I had I would have sent my letter to you instead of to Kingstree;but it 111 _ A. seems to me your place wouia De at Kingstree, not at Bethel. I certainly do appreciate your kindness for correcting my mistakes and am glad you don't make mistakes. What college did you graduate at? I think Hebron has as many graduates as Bethel. I am glad to know your boys can spell,for they surely cannot play ball, or they never have done 30 at Hebron. I think I can help you solve your problem about your boys' not playing ball at Hebron. ' You say it is because the Hebron i boys look so ugly. Well, if they looked in the mirror before they left home and could stand face to face with what they met, they could face anything they saw at Hebron. 1 You surely must have a timid set of i boys who can't play ban except on i their own diamond. Well, boys, j, try to be more manly when you leave home and don't get so excited. I think the Hebron boys will go to your diamond before long, so bear in mind they are ugly and can't 3pell.
