MEN WHO Do THINGS.

peculiarly fitting that the president
of the First Corn exposition and the
man who has striven so faithfully, en-
ergeGcally, progressively, and intelli-
gently to make the exposition a sue
cess from the beginning and who has
succeeded so we'll should prove, in
competition open to the three States,
that he not only knows the value Of
growing good corn, but does grow the
prize winning quality. The State con-
graduates President A. D. Hudson, of
Newberry, on the fine collection Of
beautiful silver cups that are acquir5 ed
by him as trophies. To the victor in
the noble industrial contests should
go the prizes.
The work Of Mr.. Hudson has been
the work of a patriotic South Caro-
linian. His Office as president of the
association is one that will be &C
corded honor in this section because
Of what he has done in the unselfsh
endeavor to build up South Carolina.
Entering an unl~ied field, giving his
tine and defraying - OIL expenses,
he has won success, and helped lay
the foundation for the addition of
Gany millions to the wealth of his
State, and for benefting those who
most need the helping hand.
And there is another individual who
must be remembered when the sue
cess Of the corn exposition and the
tremendous awakening of the corn
growing spirit in this State is men
toned. A. G. Smith, the scientific as
sistant of the Bureau of Farm Man
agement, located in Columbia, has
been President Hudson's right hand.
Mr.. Smith is not native Of this State;
be comes from the corn country"
Of the midwest, but he has more fat6h
in South Garolina's soil and climate
for corn production than most Of Our
own farmers. His enthusiasm and
tireless work and direction have given
tremendous aid to the movement call
along the 1ine"-as Commissioner
Watson would say.-Columbia State.
The above is we'll said. You know
the slogan for NewberTy city and
county is "The City and County That
Does Thingst" and, Of course, the
men who compose the city and county
are necessarily men who do things.
There is much hope in the increased
interest on the part of our farmers
throughout South Carolina in diversi-
fed farming-hope for better and
brighter and more prosperous agi-
cultural community, without which we
can not have prosperous State.
The Herald and News has for years
been advocating this policy and has
talked so much about growing corn
and other things that are needed on
the farm that it sometimes felt that
it was boring It's readers, and, it is,
therefore, gratifying to use to see this
increased interest along these lines.
We are also delighted to know that
Mr.. Hudson's farm is successful, be-
cause it means much for this county
to have right in the midst Of our far
mers a successful farm conducted
along the lines of diversified farming,
and we congratulate President Hud-
son, and all those who have co-operat-
ed with him, on the success of this
first corn exhibition in this section of
the country.
It is true that South Carolina leads
, The worlds record in the greatest
number Of bushels of corn grown on
one acre, and yet, we believe, leads
the worlds record also on the smallest
average number of bushels grown per
acre, and We believe this awakening
will change this lowest record Of the
average number Of bushels per acre.
We know that it has done great deal
