In these the judges der cided that Kingstree had won the I . most points on the score card and F was entitled to own outright these u handsome trophies by reason of havHt ing won them successively the . past B three years. From every viewpoint U the exercises were a success and it was very evident that the interest of the county in these friendly contests is growing year by year. The schools having exhibits were Kingstree, Trio, Lanes, Venters, Bennett, Bethel,Bloomingvale,Cades, Cedar Swamp, Earles. Greelyville, Hebron, Hemingway, Heinemann, Indiantown, Johnsonville, Mulberry, Mt Vernon, Pergamos, Spring Bank, Iht Belser's X Roads and Retreat. Those represented, but not having exhibits were Rome, Vox, Salters, W Shaw, Nesmith, Mouzons and Wittee. ^ Only four schools in the county still i running were not represented. It is conservatively estimated that ' 3,000 people, mostly school children, were present and participated in the splendid parade that formed at the school building at 11:30 a. m. and C inarched to the court house. In P this parade were a number of hand" some and appropriately arranged 1 m floats representing schools as follows: 1 Greelyville?"Past and Present," j showing in miniature the first, sec tond and present school buildings. Johnsonville?"Progress," representing the little one-room log cabin school-room and the present handsome graded school building. Kingstree's float was a representation of "Uncle Sam" and carried a tasteful arrangement of the na- 1 tional colors with the Goddess of Liberty in the person of a handsome young lady carrying the national emblem. The driver of the t float was a mimic of "Uncle Sam." Hemingway's float carried the 1 slogan, "Back to the Farm", and it was decorated with some of the choicest products of the soil of that famous farming section, such as corn, tomatoes, beets, cabbages, 1 radishes, turnips, sausage, carrots, 1 and many other things that should 1 make farm life attractive. This 1 school was also represented in the 1 parade by several automobiles hand- 1 somely decorated and carrying a ? number of little girls and boys I -.robed in university gowns and caps, 1 kindicative of the school's ambition. ^Indiantown was represented by a float carrying an Indian wigwam iind several Indians sitting around , I he camp fire and pot. I Lanes school also had an Indian cene representing Pocahontas and (ohn Smith. . Bennett school was very approropriately represented by the large onsolidated school wagon used in he township to convey children to , nd from the school.

The iudcres in this con test were: Misses Mary Eva Hite,Columbia; Florence Edwards of Latta, who is an artist with the brush, and Ora McFall of Pickens. Hon J W Doar, Superintendent of Education of Georgetown, was present and acted as one of the judges in the oratorical contests Thursday night. The Field or Athletic exercises were of a high order of skill and agility and were participated in by a large number of contestants, representing the larger schools of the county. At 8 o'clock Friday night Prof L P Chamberlayne, of the University of South Carolina, delivered an address on "Education" to a large audience at the school auditorium, 1 at the conclusion of which the presentation of the trophy cups was made and the names of the individuals who were successful on the gridiron and in the class rooms * where the literary contests took place were announced.

The programme of the Oratorical , and Field day contests opened in the school auditorium at 8 o'clock Thursday night,when representatives 1 from various schools, boys and girls, , were to contest for prizes in oratory and expression, There were some i ten or twelve schools represented. ^ The first prize, however, was awarded to Mr David Epps, of the King- ^ stree High school, while Miss Leora McCants of Kingstree won second 1 place. Of the girls in the contest, j Miss Clarice Huggins of Johnsonville was awarded first prize. All 1 the contestants acquitted them selves with great credit and it was no easy problem for the judges in i several instances to decide upon the most successful. 1 At 9:30 Friday morning the ele- , mentary contests took place in the school auditorium and were attend- < ed by a very large audience. Every f feature of the programme was a success and those who arranged it t are due much praise from the patrons of the county schools and the 1 pupils as well. 1 The school fair, which was the second to be held in connection with J the school work of this county, was perhaps the most interesting feature of the entire programme.

SBURG HA1 idquarters for G NESMITH NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS I Farmers Ready to Plant?Tobac- | co Plants Small?Local Mention. Nesmith, April 19:?Farmers are making use of this beautiful spring weather, preparing to plant cotton, though some have already planted. Tobacco plants do not seem to be doing well these cool nights. Some of the farmers are waiting for rain ; to begin to set out their plants, such as they are. Say, what is the trouble with the vetch in this section? Oats seems to be doing finely, while we can't see much of the vetch. A big crowd of the people of this section took a trip to Kingstree Friday to see the Field day exercises. Mr Maxie Hemingway and Miss Myrtle Cooper were seen passing through here last Sunday on their way home from Benson. Mr Winfred Godwin and Miss Lena MeElveen passed through town Saturday, returning from Kingstree. Mr and Mrs E V Anderson of Morrisville passed through town one day last week. We were glad to have our school represented in the athletic contests this year for the first time, and hope to be better prepared for them next year. Just watch Nesmith school grow! Mr F E Johnson and family spent Sunday with Mr Johnson's wife's sister's family, Mr and Mrs V D Harper, at Rome. Misses Seybt and Stone made a - business trip to Hemingway Satur- i day. Messrs Lee Lewis of Rome and W j 0 Godwin of Rhems spent Saturday night with the Messrs Johnson. Mr Belton Brockinton,Jr,of Clem- J son College, was in our midit Sunday. What is the matter with the Min- J go ball team this year? We have not heard of any match games yet. Get busy, boys; we are anxious to see < you win, as you did last season. Miss Lena Haddock passed through town Sunday on her way home from < Kingstree, accompanied by Mr Ed Vause. We are glad to see our old Belin ( ehurch come back into its own - - - ? . i and do the good worx it is now doing. There is preaching there every < second and fourth Sunday afternoon and Sunday-school every Sunday af- t ternoon. Get to work, Sunday-school " members, and let's see if we can't j make this one of the best year's \ work in our history.
