The exercises were presided over by Mr. McGregor, one of the trustees. After Scripture reading.and prayer hy the Rev. Paul T. Wood, Maj. W. J. Tiller was introduced. After a few pointed remarks about school affairs in general Maj. Tiller spoke of his work as Demonstration Aerent. He 2 explained to his audience that igncrB ance of soil nature had cost the South K enough money to build many new ff school houses. The figures presented by Major Tiller formed a strong arguIment in favor of the scientific side of j farming. He mentioned many items I of expenditure amounting to millions ' of dollars and made a noble effort to 1 impress it upon the minds of the 4L i school hoys that by preparing thomJ I selves for the farm, they, as farmers, I | coul l save all this good S?uth Caro% lina money. The speaker had stopped ^ by the roadside and pulled a bunch 1 M j of clover which he used in his adds dress, explaining to the boys what jb was meant by "inoculation" and Jr showing the "nodules" containing a 0 very expensive part of the South's fertilizer bill. With a few pointed ? re mar. s to the girls about Canning Club work, Mr. Tiller closed his ad />j dress by recommending I'rof. W. K. Wilson, as a graduate of an agricultural college. Mr. McGregor then arose to sanction from a merchant's viewpoint, the remarks of Mr. Tiller. Mr. Grigg:w:is then called upon to speak for the <3 board of trustees. This he did brief|ly hut pointedly, calling attention first ^ | of the teachers to their duties nml <3 responsibilities, lit- then assured the faculty that the hoard of trustees ^-5 would uphold them in their work and closed with a few words of exhortation to the few patrons who were ^ present. .l".\ Mr. McGregor called for voluntary speeches and the Rev. A. I?. Smith. JS. Mr. S. J. Sellers and Mr. .1. Sidney ^ Smith responded. '.3 The outlook for a successful term ?? of school is bright. ^ The faculty is as follows: Prof. W v7, K.
