With the lessons learned by the public spirited men a ho promoted ami carried through the contest, rules for next year's contest can he made that will correct some of the Inequalities that developed this year. And the hoys seeing what little er? rors did for their standing In the Anal result, will p ? more painstaking and exact In every step of their work from selecting the seed eorn to plant to selecting the bushel for the con? test snd preparing the report. Just to keep tho record straight the County Farmers' Union on Jan. ith made the tirst move for the con? test at the meeting with Concord Union, by ohering three prises of $2:,. IIB and SU?. The Herahl was second with $60 for first prise on largest yield an the Watchman and Southron third, with *r,o for the best bushel "i seed corn. As this prise is perpetuated by the sale of the con? testing eorn. we are sure it is the one with the most far reaching re suits. The hanks and business tuen of Bomter followed up this had. and no count}' In the State gave more to? ward the hoys' com contest than Bumter. Now for a Bumter exhibit In Columbis that will i?c a credit to the county. COHN SHOW PKIO'il M Ll-T. Ilooklct Issued lor tl., I olltlO? L* position?Nearly g10,0041 in Prise*.
