.WHEAT GROW ERS
CONVENTION.
AN Enthusiastic Gathering
at Greenwood.

tIfeenWOOQ, Aug 10 1uelS aoe
been one convention held 10 this
State in which there was no mention
Of politics. This may be wondrous
strange, and it is, remarkable. for
there were msn present VINO have
had something to do with the making
Of politics of the State, but the only
mention chat was made of politics
was the plea that it should be es-
chewed. There was no applause
except when il was on hint about
living at home aud raising food pro-
ducss on the plantation.
The convention was good oae.
vary good one. and it has sown the
seed for much good. I. has shown
that there is dawn of new day in
the agriculture of the State, a
brighter aud better Day Not here
and there patch, but wheat fields
are to glisten all over the State.
Farmers Of reputation have told their
brethren how wheat has grown
around them and why and how it
should be planted. and the glad tld-
s1ngs are bound 10 spread.
The exchange Of e, ,speriences here
today in and out of tue convention
has been worth dozens of technical
and scientific bulletins It was COM
mon aanse that was talked
Farmers institutes are splendid
enterprises, but they bring together
largely people Of the same condi-
lions, locality aud views. and it takes
such conventions as the wheat grow
era undertook to bring about divers
J i.y of views and interchange Of valu-
able views.
There were not over one or two
cnsbstone lawyer farmers in the en
tire audience Most of the visitors
have bsen growing wheat on large
81 small scale and wanted additional
information, aud many were present
eeekiug information. Il is signi6
cant fact. and one which should be
borne in mind by those who are
asking whether wheat is a money
making crop. aud all such questions,
thas ont Of the dozens who expressed
themselves not one who has ever
planted wheat is willing to give up
the planting Of that crop
Farmers do not like 10 take hold Of
: thug uotil it has baen tried. They
hare tiled wheat and are s:icsing to it..
Taere we're. perhaps. hua2red farmers

Mrs. W. W. Harvey Iniured.

Mrs. W. W. Harvey had a fall
Wednesday noon which resulted in
severe injuries that at this writing
seem likely to prove fatal. She was
about the house as usual and had ap-
parently started to go down the back
steps and fell, striking on her head
and producing, as it is supposed, con-
cussion Of the brain She has not re-
gained consciousness at this writing
and appears to be slowly sinking.
Whether she was suddenly seized with
dizziness or fiji of unconsciousness tc
which she has been subject we can moi
know. Her daughters, who were ex-
pected, came within an hour after her
injury and are giving their mother
every possible attention. DR.. Gregg
has the case in charge.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage OF
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity compels it and then ruin his
hest horse going for doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out 25 cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders why
his neighbor is getting richer while he
is getting poorer. For sale by

THE
Diamond Garment
Cutting School

Which has been in progress in the
G. A. R. hall are having splendid sue
cess. This unprecedented patronage
in this movement is due to the super
ior excellence of this system and the
great need existing among the ladies
for higher education in this line.
That the ladies everywhere need
higher education in this useful art is
apparent to all. The making of the
costumes for the family is source Of
more annoyance and more trouble than
all other duties ladies have, and as this
movement simplifies one of their most
arduous duties, it may properly be
classed as a benefactor to womankind.
We boast Of a superior progress and
enlightenment of the nineteenth GEN.
tury and yet our women can not make
their best costumes. In this line OF
practical education we are not up to
the standard of the advanced times.
Now that the opportunity is presented
it behooves all to appreciate the mag
nitude Of this movement.
Now all those wishing to take in
struction in the Garment Cutting
School must come in on or before the
10th of August.
Yours Resp'y,
Diamond Garment Cutting School.
