hardly eligible to membership in the
Boys Corn club, being 7S years Of age;
but he has the distinction this year Of
having made forty bushels Of corn on
half an acre.
Travel has been very heavy on the
Rock Hill division of the Southern
railroad all summer, and during the
past few weeks the trains have been
frequently so crowded that large pro-
portion of the travellers have had to
stand up. Cars with a seating capac-
ity of only seventy, have had to carry
a hundred or more people.
Boys who desire to join the Corn
club should notify Mr.. John R. Blair,
county demonstration agent, Sharon R.
F. D. No /. Mr.. Blair will take names
and keep the boys informed as to what
is doing. The club Is big thing now
in a way; but by this time next year
it will he a big thing in a number Of
ways.
Mr.. j. Frank Ashe of McConnells-
vile, one of the farmers who Is inter-
ested in the Yorkville creamery, said
the other day: II am in this thing
principally for the benefit 1t will be to
the farmers of the country. If 1t sue
ceeds, it will be of great advantage IN
agricultural development. and If 1t
fails the loss will be greater to the
farmers as a whole than to the stock
holders. There is no good reason why
the creamery should not be a success.
It's success or failure depends entirely
upon us farmers"
There is no reason to complain OF the
manner in which the Floral Society Of
the Presbyterian church is handling
the chrysanthemum show. The ladies
are making a success of it; but they
can do a great deal more if they will.
The end to be attained would fully
Justify an all the year round campaign
among the ladies of the county. The
greater the number who can be inter-
ested, the greater the success of the
enterprise. And there is practical good
to be accomplished. The culture of
flowers is not to be despised even from
dollar and cents standpoint; but this
is not the most important considera-
ton. The man or woman who does not
appreciate the extent to which flowers
contribute to the pleasure and interest
in life, has not yet learned how to
live.
Some of the knockers of the flower
show have habit of saying,
there is no use to try, the prizes
are awarded before the seeds are plant
ed, etc" That is buncombe. 1t is sill
ly. The judges do their work as hon.
estly as is possible. and to the best Of
their ability. That they make mis-
takes is possible; but we are frank to
say that it is not probable. Sometimes
analysis to decide between two COM
peting exhibits, and it is admitted that
after the judgment is made, there may
be room for honest difference of opin-

pected. The same thing occurs in ev-
cry line of endeavor. But to assert
that there is partiality is simply alb
surd, the people who make the asser-
ton, might do we'll to examine them
selves and see whether or not they are
tinged with just little envy. 1t is
often the case that we ourselves are
guilty of the shortcomings that we
charge against other people. That is
Scripture. The way to get the great
est success and the greatest benefit
out of the flower show is for everybody
to pull together and do the best they
can. There is no real danger of unfair
discrimination. Even if it were at
tempted, it would show up and the
public would not stand for it.
