WILSON (From Tho Statesville Landmark) In his address at the Pythian fla^ dedication in Statesville recently, Dr. Bryon Clark of Salisbury, Pythian Krandcouncellor, a former student at Princeton, told an interesting story of Woodrow Wilson when the President was a member of the Princeton faculty. A yountf Irishman, whose nam# was not mentioned and who is now a nrominent eit.i7.pn of anntlinr Stnto ! 1 graduate of Dublin University, wa-> taking a post graduate course at Princeton. This Irishman was very ill-mannered and as a consequence had few friends. One day he came into Wilson's class-rooin and was very udo. "Mr. Blank, I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but don't you think you should apologize for your rudeness?" said Prof. Wilson. "I'll not apologize," was the firm answer of the son of Erin. "You've been rude to the students and to other members of the faculty," persisted Prof. Wilson. "Don't you think you should apologize?"' The answer was a port refusal. After further insisting, quietly and mildly, that an apology was due, and being met with pert refusal, the future President of the United State:; looked at his watch and said: "I'll give you three minutes to ' ? i I j Keep Fait!

"I'll do neither!" was the belligi ont answer. Then Prof. Wilson laid down 1 book, took off his glasses and sta: ed for that Irishman. "I'll never enter your class ro( again!" shouted the Irishman as hastily made his exit by a side doi before Prof. Wilson reached hi Then Prof. Wilson went back to 1 work as if nothing had happened. All of which shows the manner the President. Patient and forbei ing, to the point where patien ceases to be a virtue, he isn't "t proud to light" when tried too far.

The advantages in the South over the North in the production of pork are baaed on the climate and the ability of the South to produce a great variety of crops suitable for grazing hogs. Velvet beans and peanuts are leguminous crops that are peculiar to the South. Soy beans succeed well. Alfalfa grows well in many sections. Rape and rye can be grazed practically every day during the winter while the hogs in the North are taking their sleep in heated hog houses. It is time for the farmers of South Carolina to wake up to the possibilities of cheap pork production in their own state. In order to succeed with this phase of farming,, it will require some fencing of pastures (a few acres fenced where water is Abundant and made fertile will pay good dividends with a rotation of forage crops for hogs), and more attention given to the matter.
