Palmer of I the South Carolina Sunday School j Association. Hampton county leads with 127 and Sumter comes sec-! ond with .100 enrolled at present. This is due largely to the enthus iastic and effective work of Miss Abbie D. Bryan of Sumter who is Child .en's Division Superintendent of the Sumter County Sunday School Association, for all denomi nations. In addition to the general books on Sunday schoo: work and Bible | study, the State Sunday School Headquarters has secured and plac ed at the disposal of all denomina tions a practically complete set of denominational teacher training ! text books. The text books of all j denominations are included and these, with the other books in the State Association library, are loan ed out free of charge to any Sun day school worker on request.

Because of its superiority in ac tivity, hariness, 'and stamina, the Morgan horse is increasing in pop ularity in the Southwest where stallions of the breed are being used to improve the saddle horses on the range. Used on the native light mares they produce a useful I animal that satisfies the ranchers' demands. At the Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show, held at Fort Worth. Texas, March 11 to IS, this year, there was a particularly good show of the breed. Sixteen horses were exhibited and there was a strong class of aged stallions. Red Oak 5249 was the best aged stal j lion and champion Morgan. This j horse, sired by General Gates, was j developed at the United States Mor Igan Horse Farm at Middlehury. Vt. j The-Morgans were placed by one of the best known hrose judges in j the country, who described the I champion as one of the finest I horses he had ever seen, j As a result of the efforts of the I United States department of agri j culture in improving the Morgan and in stimulating a renewal of j interest in this useful American i breed, good breeding specimens are now found in many parts of the ( country. In order to obtain suit-1 able remounts for the service the army has placed Morgan stallions J in Kansas. Missouri. Montana, Jsje i braska, and Texas.
