AT THE HOYS' CORN CLUB.
One Young Girl Will Compete
Against the Corn Growers.

Ihe attendance at the meeting OF
the Boys Corn Club on Saturday,
March 2Gth, showed an interest that
is indeed grat!tying-t"cmty-f of
the thirty-three enrolled bein, pres
ent. The rules and regulations were
confirmed, and the application Of Il
young lady in the county for admis-
sion was considered. After full dis
cussion 1t was unanimously decided
to allow her to enter the contest,
provided the Department of Agricul-
ture will permit.
After the disposal of routine bust
ness, the ones invited to address the
body were introduced.
It was the good fortune OF the
committee to secure Prof G. G. New
dressed the boys on the subject OF
seed Selection" He said that after
the preparation OF che soil nothing
was as important as the proper kind
practical talk on how to do this. In
cidentally he mentioned the fertilizer
to be used and the manner of cult
yation, but he said these would not
do by themselves. You must prepare
the land first, then select the proper
kind Of seed.
Prof. Ira w. Williams was un-
avoidably prevented from coming. so
he tclegraphed Profs. Harper and
Conradi, OF Clemson College, to come
in his stead.
After Prof. Newman closed Prof
A. +. Conradi, "the bug and insect
man." of Clemson, made most in
teresting talk as to the havoc
wrought by insects in the Piedmont
region. He said one Of the greatest
pests known in this section is the
common little ant. Farmers do not
realize 1t, but it is true. He then
told how to get rid Of the most COM
mon ones, especially those injecting
the corn plant.
Next Prof. J. \. Harper, Director
Of the Department Of Agriculture,
OF Clemson, gave an able and thor
oughly practical lecture upon corn
culture in general. He said these old
hills in Oconee can and will produce
one hundred bushels of corn to the
acre II properly treated. TO do this
means more care in preparation
more intelligent seed selection, libe-
raj use of fertilizer and shallow culti-
vation. They have demonstrated at
Clemson that as much as 1000
pounds Of fertilizer TO the acre can
be used with profit. The only per
feet fertilizer IS stable manure, but
high grade guano is very good sub
Stitute. He invited discussion among
those present and many interesting
points were brought out.
Altogether the meeting was most
interesting, and If taken note OF will
he very beneficial.

THE HUNGARIAN HORROR.

As was stated In the Gazstte, the viii
lage OF Oekoe,ito, Hungary, and the
adjacent districts have been thrown into
mourning by a terrible disaster which
occurred at the former place Sunday
night and which resulted in the death OF
between 800 and 400 persons and the
serious injury OF 100 others.
A public bali WAS announced to be
held at the hotel of the village, where
the coachhouse had been fitted up as
ballroom. 1t wss great barn-like
structure, decorated with tinder-dry June
branches left from a previous entertain
ment, to which were sdded for the oc
cssion other decorations and Chinese
lanterns. The festiVity attracte ples.
sure.seekers from the whole surrounding
conntry, ard the building was 30 packed
lust before the ball commenced that the
single door, which afforded entrance and
ex t, vas nailed up to preVett the ad.
mittance of scores Who clamored outside.
While the dancing was in iu swing
pine branch csught fire and fell to the
hoor. It blezed furiously, and almost In.
s.antly the dresses OF several of the
women burst into flames, which spread
with astonishing rspidity. A dreadful
panic ensued, the reVellers losing their
beads completely. Many OF them, With
flames shooting cut from thsir garments,
rushed toward the barred exit, where
a tu.giug mass vas jamed together.
Women and men fell and were tsampled
under foot. Those in froit yainly en-
deavored to tsar open the door, but were
crushed helplesBly by the pressure of the
crowd behind. The roaring aad crack
ling of the flames mingled with the des'
pairing shrieks of the doomed throDg.
Soon the roof crashed in, the bisz:ug
wrscksge falling upon the helpless victims
so that many OF those Hho hitherto had es
caped the flames we're struck down BY
beams or buried under the debris. Ths
sceDe was horrifyiDg.
When the door finally WAS broken open
some few persons escaped, but most oi
these collapsed before they got far. Ir-
side the building were hesps of cbarred
corpses, aud beart.rendiug screams and
gruans still we're audible from the smok
ing piles. The official estimate, as given
last night, states thst 290 persons per-
ished, bat it is believed tha. the total
death roll will prove much larger than
this, as many persons have not been &C.
counted for.
