admirers of square sports. The
entries were good and the handling
Of the sport all that could be desir-
! ed.
The first was the harness race in
which were the following entries:
Joe Caughlin, John Eliason, Clyde
Mars, S. P. Chase and Ned Snyder
The result being that MIR. Caughlin
1st money, SIS and John Eliason
and. The next, the mile dash
had six contestants, Virgil Wolfley,
Joe Caughlin, R. c. Grggs, Henry
Myers. Geo. b. Allen, and Ned
| Snyder. The lifting of the dust re-
vealed the fact that George B. Allen
had won Ist and Ned Snyder and.
The half mile pacing had 6 in for
the prize, Geo. Wolhey. Virgil VOL
fey, John Eliason, Ned Snyder,
r. c. Griggs and Linus Rosen-
berry. In this victory was with Ned
Snyder who won first and John Eli
ason who got second.
In the relay were two entries and
Geo. DeCow got 1st and Claude
Ellis second.
The novelty races came next and
in the potato race there was a good
showing of horsemanship. In this
Bob Byrns won first and Claude El-
lis 2nd.
The next was the lance race, this
again is a race not exactly to the
swift but horsemanship counts. Tom
Schumaker of Miles got 1st, and BOB
Byrns and.
Then came the potato race which
was won by H. B. Phelps.
Last came the bicycle race and
Ethe NEWS in person of George
Wehrle won first and Mr.. Gillidet,
of Plains second.
Taken as a whole the celebration
was grand success the only counter
attraction being the great wheat crop
of the county. The fact that a scar
city of hands with the large acreage
kept many, in fact majority al
home in their fields listening to the
music of the header as it clipped
the golden grain, which i'll this case
means gold dollars. The Fowler
Band discoursed fine music. The
men on the different committees did
their work thoroughly and ON time,
and each one stood by the job until
the last act was finished. There
was not a disorderly OF unseemly
act during the day and evening. An
other thing noticeable by comparison
with the past was the absence of the
disturbing element of noise and dan
gersous explosives.
/ One the most pleasing things on
the literary program was the music
by the male quartette composed of
Messrs. Frank Bowen, John Sweet
Francis Backe and Ben Marshall.

TillmAn Talks About Clemson

Senator Tillman says it's AL
nonsense" about his being pre-
sident of Clemson.
DO you mind my writing
something about it,"
oh it isn't worth writing about
Nobody but a blame fool woul
ever think of such thing"
Well, but, you know, l write
for the blame fools as we'll as the
other folks"
Only blamed" wasn't t the word.
The presidency of Clemson, u
said the senator, requires some
peculiar training. The president
should be a man of culture as well
as experience in agriculture and
industrial education, a man of exc
cutive ability, also a man of ac-
tivity for which he must have good
health and strength. 1 might
have some OF these qualities;
don't know. But 1 have not had
any training as an educator, and
at my time Of life I would be afool
to branch out into new field.
have been doing all 1 could as a
member Of the board to get every
thing to running smoothly, tc
straighten out the kinks, and get
down to business.
Yes, several men have at diff
erent times suggested it to me, but
never gave it a serious thought
because the thing was so mani
testify out of the question.
Senator Tillman seems deeply
interested in Clemson college, and
whenever the subject is mentioned
he drops what he is doing or saw
ing, becomes thoughtful and SER
ious, and talks about it.

News and Courier:
We beg to extend to the people
of the territory which will be en-
braced in the new county of Dill
Ion, and especially to the citizens
of the enterprising town from
which that county will take its
name, our heartiest congratula-
tons and best wishes upon the
realization of their ambitious hopes
We trust that they will see to it
that the new county shall quickly
take foremost place among the
other South Carolina counties. of

court comparison with any to be
found in the entire South, being
wonderfully productive, having
already been brought to a high
state of cultivation, and being
easy to till. Its citizens are in
tellieent, energetic. educated and
refined, and they have shown
themselves to be possessed of a
pertinacity which augurs we'll fo1
a prosperous future. 1t will have
as its county seat a town whose
growth during the last few. years
has been nothing short of amaz-
ing. We are confident that it will
promptly adjust itself to it's new
responsibilities and will make itself
a pronounced factor in promoting
the advancement of the State at
large. To this end, we trust that
its citizens win see to it that only
the best men who can be muster
ed from within its borders are
sent to the General Assembly to
take part in the deliberations of
that body. By the calibre of its
legislators win the county be
judged by the people Of South

This is the last issue of The
Herald for the year 1909. There
will be no issue of The Herald
to reach the public before

the first time The Herald has
missed a single issue in the IL
years it has been under the pre-
sent management, but during the
New County fight the printers
and employees were faithful to
their posts often working farinto
the night to keep up with the rush
of work and to get the New
County Edition" out on time, and
they are entitled to a brief holi-
day. We feel that each of our
subscribers will agree with us
and we do not believe there is a
reader of The Herald who will not
willingly do without the paper in
order to give the boys a few days
of rest and recreation. The entire
Herald force, from the office
devil up to the foreman, joins
the editor in wishing everyone of
our friends a happy Christmas
and prosperous new year.

The N. & S. c. railroad has ex-
tended its lines across Main street
and on to the A. G. L. railroad
near the Dillon Mill. A tower
station is being erected at the
junction of the two roads and it
will not be necessary for the
trains to stop when they reach the
crossing. The tower will be kept
open night and day and will re-
quire the services of three opera
tors who will work eight hours
each. Three surveys have been
made to Mullins and it is probable
that the railroad will be built on
to that enterprising town in the
next few weeks. The opinion is
that the N. & S. c. railroad is
making for tide-water and the
line will be extended either to
Georgetown, Conway or Eddy
Lake.

THE FARMERS WAKING UP.

IL YOU dlC q laTIIlcT, QlQ you
ever stop to inquire what makes
your land valuable? 1t is not the
land itself, nor you; that's certain.
Suppose your land, with all
its great natural fertility, your
splendid methods of cultivation,
were located in the middle of Ari-
zona, with no other cultivated
ground and no railroads within
hundreds Of miles of it.
1t wouldn't be worth much,
would it?
The sole reason your land is of
more than nominal value is be-
cause a community has grown up
around it.
If you acquired your land years
ago when the neighborhood in
which you live was sparsely set
tied, you have had the pleasure of
watching It grow and prosper.
First came the neighborhood
farms, then the towns, finally the
railroads, which the towns brought
near to your land, all contributing
to yours and the general pros
perity.
/ must be clar to you, in the
light of history that your interests
can continue to grow and prosper
only if the entire community in
which you live shall continue to
grow and prosper.
If your community goes back
ward; if its growth and prosperity
are retarded, the growth and pros
perity of your individual interests
are retarded"
Is not this sound argument? The
man WHO bought his farm for ST.
700 ten or fifteen years ago and
holds it at Sc, 900 or $s, 900 or SO,
600 or S15, 900 now should be able
to appreciate its force, for he is
1000 or Sc, 900 or $500 or S13,-
600 richer now simply because a
prosperous city has grownup outof
our old numbering town and his
farm has increased proportionately
in value. The neral is: Support
your home townt it's markets,
its stores, its institutions. Discard
the mail order catalogue, for it is
the guide book to ruin.
