son Mobley. of Kershaw, and one sis

Kimball piano establishment here has
| Just returned from a trip to North
Carolina. He reports having seen in
his travels some particularly fine fields
of corn, among them the prize acre of
Mr.. NJ. l. ROllings, about four miles
from WaXhaw, which Mr. Melton
thinks will yield $50 bushels. The
rows are only three and one half feet
apart and the stalks stand inches in
the drill. and have on en- average
three ears each. Mr.. Rollings fertil-
lied the acre with nineteen loads or
stable manure, three sacks of acid.
three of kainit and ia pounds Of soda.
The Boys Corn club met in the
Sat of
with only sixteen members present.
BY a unanimous vote the club chang
| ed the rule made at the August meet
| ing concerning the measuring and
grading of the several boys acres. The
change was made in order to give the
boys who expected to get Mr.. w. b.
Twitty to survey and grade their acres,
and were prevented from doing so be-
fore August Goth on account of his
illness, until Sept. 24tn to have their
acres surveyed and graded. 1t seems
from the attendance at the last meet
ing of the club that boys have lost in
terest in it. About half of the boys
have dropped out. leaving only twen-
ty-five in the club now.
Rock Hill Herald, September 16: We
hope Mr. Boyd will go in with the de-
termination of carrying out the road
law to the letter which we feel sure
he will do after he gets into the work
ings of it Yesterday morning at
$50 the familiar sound of the school
bell was heard once again, and many
little heart beat faster, many eyes
shone brighter with the thought thas
school had begun again" Such
hunting up of books and satchels!
Such a hubbub of merry voices as the
Young folks gathered before the doors
of Central School. The enrolment
at Central school was $40, at the High
land Park "a, Manchester 20, Arcade
Victoria SO. The grades are full.
some to overflowing, and the need for
more room is obvious. To the already
strong corps of teachers have been
added Prof. S. r. Spencer and Misses
Rosa Kce, Margaret Biggers and Eth
ell Steele. ..... On next "Wednesday
morning, Winthrop College will throw
open her doors to welcome her seven
hundred daughters, the pride and
flower of the state. Repairs, repaint-
ing and kalsomining have been done
during the summer, the campus is in
perfect order, and every department
is ready for work. The teachers and
officers have been here for some days
and the first faculty meeting was held
Yesterday. By tomorrow at least $50
of the students will be on the ground
those who have to report early for
special examinations, etc. ON ac-
count of the utter impossibility OF
Commissioner Whitner's reaching
Rock Hill today. the board of COM
missioners have postponed their meet
ing until Sept. 2lst, when contract
will be let for the erection of muni-
cipal light plant The contract Will
cali for 10 arc lights, which will sup
ply the town fairly well with lights,
and also for a white way" down the
business portion of Main street and
from Main to the passenger station.
The plant will cost less than $3S,OOO.
The plans, etc, for the plant have
long since been worked out by engi-
neer Rucker. of Charlotte and he will
be present at the melting on the 2lSt.
Mr.. w. 4. Fewell has suggested
that since spraying outfits. which have
been beneficial to the farmers in saw
ing their fruit, and protecting the
fruit trees, are too expensive FOR eV-
cry farmer to own one, that CLUB be
organized among the fruit growers in
order that some one could buy a
spraying 0utrit and that the members
of the club could have their trees
sprayed at little cost. This is good
suggestion and there is no telling how
much fruit could be saved if the trees
could be sprayed. The government
has been working along this plan for
the past five years and we are inform
ed that a remedy has been found for
the worms, etc, that play havoc in this
section with apples and peaches. A
club could be organized without cost
TO anybody and we are sure that some
one say a graduate of Clemson, would
be glad to purchase the outfit and do
the work.
