The party ??f farm experta, bankers, mart hanta and othera who left here ,t :? o'clock Wedneeday morning to visit the fnrma of those who ha.l en tered the CTtty National Bank prize contact returned to the city about dark in the evening after having visited farina north and south of the city. \ having seen some tine and some poor | crops, having spent an enjoyable, if I strenuous day of It, and after having traveled about Blty miles, more or less through the county. The party in the four automobiles consisted of Messrs. G. A. Lemmon, president of the City National Bank, Prof. W. I* English, of the depart? ment of farm demonstration work at Clemson College, District Agent L. L. Baker. Farm Demonstration Anent J. Frank Williams, who Is also president of the County Farmers' Cnion. R, B. Belser. A. V. Snell. H. L. Scarborough, A. J. Stubbs. E F. Miller. C. L Stubbs, W. T. Rowland and Andrew Wll? dams. In the afternoon some of these gentlemen dropped out and oihers took their place. The automo? biles for the trip were furnished by Messrs Scarborough. Rowdand, Belser and the Shaw Motor Company. Of course the twenty odd farmers who are competing in the contest were not all visited during the day, but a number of them were visit? ed and it Is hoped that an opportunity will be afforded in the near future for a visit to the others In the contest. The visit was made for the purpose of allowing Messrs English, Baker and Williams, the farm experts in the party to see and make comparison between the prize crops and the other crop-; and suihclent difference was seen, without having to be pointed OUt by the experts, to make it plain 'that it would be better to plan less and cultl vnte U more,*4 as Mr English tersely remarked. All of the crops visited were very geod. taking j?!t thin?.', it ;. < onsld amtlon. s >n >? put ?ea much more f< r? Itiliaer eras need than others aid the I different kindi of land tnd bovarylni [seasons on (he different farmi ??.. ? all tended to help or hinder some of the farmers more than others. However? One thing was noticeable ahOUt all of the farms visited. The farrm is were intensely Interested in the result of the contest and the ex? periment which was being carried on and each one showed his interest in his own individual way. A great many of the crops needed rain, especially in the sections around Dalzell, Btsteburg and Wedgetield. South and east of Sunder the rain was needed in some plncea, but not as badly as on Bo other side of the city. At many of the places VtattOd the farmers had '.aid by their corn and cotton. Mr. Bngllah in tni'M ca.-e> advised these farmers to continue to run harrows through their .fops Si long as it was possible. At most of tin plncea vlalted the farmers ware ready and waiting for the party. At all of the places the part; \\e!e treated to \atious farm delicacies, arntormelon being offered Jat almost every place, At Mr B, P, Miih rs grapea arere passed around and at Mr. L I. PalTOtt'l pit*.- the 'party WON Invited to partake ,,f a l-ig dinner which was spread out or. tables under the trace, but there was not sufficient time to stop, no m itter how much those in UlO party would hav< liked to. Much interest was tak? en In aomc plncea in the coming of tin- party ami around Providence a number of the farmer? had gone to XNoik and chared the roadsides of Weeds arid bushes and put the road n betb r condition, an that the party could Bee tin- crops better and have easier riding, Most of the loads were found to be in wry good condition considering 'he dry weather, hut there were pb nty of places where the auto mohliixts ?rot bumps in passing, Ho much pleased wer,- the bank of. ilclals at the Interest shown in the contest which tioy originated that tin >,., \ e decided to continue the con teal nether year ami will prob? ably do so on a larger BCale< S ? thOBS who are now in the contest and those who expect t? get In it another year will do well to begin preparing their grounds as soon a* possible, Ol course proper rotation of crops will be ea pec ted hi the contest fot another year.

C, Thompson's was the next spurt. Mr. Thompson's farm was small and he Aid not have his prize cotton and corn separated from his farm, hut ex pec ed to select an acre from the field to nave in the contest. Mr. E. W. Barker. Sr.. was visited next. His corn was young, hut looked tine and will probably yield abundantly, if it has a good season. The Other crops were good. At Mr. J. Frank Wil? liams' place the crops needed rain. The place here has been farmed by Mr. Williams only a short time, and showed that it had been much im? proved since he took possession. Mr. l. I. Parrott also had a small farm and his prize acre of cotton would be selected from the held. His. corn was exceedingly good, but need? ed rain badly. Iiis potatoes and peas I Were also good. From Mr. Parrott'l pi' ee the party returned to town, where they stopped for dinner, In the afternoon the bist place visited was that Of Mr. M. 11. Beck. Mr. Beck | hoi already harvested one crop of about 3,r>tm pounds of forage off his prize acre and was preparing to plant more peas, thus raising two cropa on his a ere. Mr. S. J. White was next visited. He had about the best all around four acres seen, his peas and potatoes be lng especially tine, where the others w ere very good. He was picking th ? peas from his prize acre, pre]iara jt' r> to harvesting I he vlnea an ? 1 ling more peai ??-. th< Bore, Mr, Wi the house and the party did not have time to srnre. Mr. u. D.' Tladale's place was the last stop of the even? ing. He had some good torn and cotton, hut the peas ami potatoes Were not visited as they were lome distance from the house. It would be a hard matter to judue from present prospects which of the fan iera in the c ontest will win the prise, as all of the contestants have jtceedtngly tine crops, a great deal depends upon the weather and the attention the crop receive i from now on. The officials of the bank seemed delighted with the interest taken and the farm experts gained much data on their trip which they will give o it to the f irmer- hereafter from time t" time.

' IferfArw if, CODAV we have further precious 1 lessons frotu the Great Teach- : er restarting His Kingdom. The parable of the "Treasure* bid in the Field" is not one of the j parables which .Iesus expounded. His people, therefore, arc left to exercise their Judgment of Its meaning, under the guidance ?>f the Holy Spirit and the light shed upon it by other Scrip tures. Indeed, there might be more than one application of it. But our preference of thought is that the Great Teacher referred, not to Himself, but to those whom He hi struct ed. IV.* virtue of His owi) cove nant of sacrifice, the Kingdom was al? ready promised to Him. and Ho. In **seaemovw*.?sn turn in the Ka aiVTm^rn '.henth<m ther's name, was RIGHTEOUSNESS Inviting those who ?uro r/wwoasSea had ears to hear, and heart io ap? preciate, to be? come members of His Kingdom class. He recommends that these should view the Kingdom after the illustra- "Set* first the King tion of this pant- dorn and it* right ble. Suppose in ">?***"?" their journeying they saw a field for sale at a certain price, and suppose, upon examination, they found It to contain a great treasure. The treas? ure might consist of very excellent soil, especially suited to their purpose, or of a valuable vein of precious metal, or of money buried centtil ies ago and forgotten, and not belonging to the owner of Ihe Held more than to others who might lind it. In stu b a case any one of ordinary Intelligence would be willing to invest everything that he possessed to acquire the title. So the Master declared to those who heard Him then, and to us who re calve His words now. that He has in? formation to give respecting a Great Treasure. I Priceless Treasure, which can be obtained only by the expendi? ture of gre.it energy and the invest ment of everything of value The Great Treasure is the share in the !

The Merchant of the Parable found a Pearl so su parlor in every respect that lie consid ered it cheap to give everything thai be possessed to become Its owner. This, said the Master, illustrates the value of the Kingdom, with its glory, honor and I in mortality, which I BUi inviting an elect, saintly little Bock to share with Me Those who prize it properly will show their appreciation by the amount they will be Will Ing to pay for ii Whether a man he ^ wealthy or pool learned or Igno rant, influential o?

The wealthiest or most talented per son in the world could not obtain i. share In that Kingdom If be kept back one atom of his possessions; the prlct of the Kingdom is self-sacrifice, even unto death, and nothing less will se cure it. Nor would any sacrifice thai we could make secure a share In this Kingdom for us. except as our sacri? fice should first he made acceptable In God'S sight through the precious merit of our Redeemer's sacrifice. The Parable of the Fish Net. We are not to think of the Kingdom as a net. but that the embryo King dorn resembles a fishing experience with a net. In which were gathered all kinds of fish. This is a parable of the embryo Kingdom because it relates to Q work done in this Age. in connec tion With the finding of the ?'little flock" who will constitute the Kingdom in glory The Lord during this Age has not been seeking all kinds of poo pie. He has been calling, drawing es? pecially, and dealing with, only the "elect," ?>nly the saintly. But, incidentally, a variety of other kinds of fish have gotten into the (ios pel Net, some from worldly ambitions, some because religious systems are a good matrimonial field, others because of social privileges and standing, oth em because they would use religion as a cloak for business enterprises, etc. The parable tolls us that ' when the net w s drawn ashore" and the Then the fishing ? east" say thai the oppor limit; i the "net" as one of the ti the Kind the Lo~d Is seek) i >e almost it I an end?

For the amount of money Invested the management figures that an average of two hun? dred pair per d;.y will be the amount the company can manufacture and the I?est the management can figure is a gross profit of fifty-live to sixty live cents per pair. After deducting sales burden, it will average a gross profit of fifty cents per pair, which will mean putting in the town one hundred dollars per day, which is equal to thirty thousand dollars per year. What does this mean for Sumter? Thirty thousand dollars is the equal in value of six hundred bales of cot? ton. If six hundred bales of cotton Is brought to Sumter, what does it mean? Thirty thousand dollars is more to Sumter than the sale of six hundred bales <>f cotton, because the farmer, whi n he sells his cotton, car- | ries a lot of money back home which he uses to buy from the country mer? chant, improve his farm and pay for his laborers, who trade with coun? try merchant also, and the farmer to quite an extent at this date is buying from catalogue houses (not altogeth? er to his advantage, however.)

The business men Of Sumter will, therefore. stand together to I ' make it a success. \ large number ol the stockhold? ers hold no more stock than it would i well pay for to donate as a gift to lo? cate such a factory, much less Ki t a direct dividend on the investment. Some, of course will p,t pood 1 ene-1 lit from the enterprise who never sub <:< ribed at all. who of course, probab? ly have done their part towards get? ting other thinps. But the benefit to be derived from Buch enterprises does often go, all things being equal, to the subscribers or owners. It has been often asserted, which is true, that Sumter and a great many Southern towns depend too much on the cotton crop. If this lit 1 v. tie Investment of thin:-five thous? and dollars is worth to Sumter ns much as one thousand bales of rot? ten annually, it Is easy t<? figure how i"w enterprises of the kind it would I iV.e to equal the value of the annual cotton crop that Sumter is now de? in ndlng on.
