ABOUT SELECTING SEED CORN.
some Points that Will Prove Both In
tefcsting and Profitable.

Editor Keowee Courier: take up
the demonstration work this morning
with the hope Of making great i'm
provement over the past year. We
VIII begin with the selection of seed
corn. 1t Is a very important factor
In growing corn. This requires spe-
call care, and we cannot succeed well
unless this care Is taken. If you have
good seed plant an acre somewhere
In good land with good preparation,
with carefully selected seed. Do not
let fakirs, like some Of the prize
winners In the corn exhibition in
Columbia. overcharge you for seed.
Some seed corn there was offered at
81 per peck. and express 65 cents,
which would make the corn cost
$l.65 peck, and it would class as
second grade feed corn--not seed
corn at all.
| VIII say this: 1t is all right to
get improved seed--the very best
that can be had-but be cautious as
to whom you buy from. There are
many fakirs In this business, just as
there are fakirs in other things. Buy
from some one as near home as DOS
slble. You can improve your own
seed If you will try.
Will give you few points that
Will be of some help to you in seed Sc
lection II carefully studied Now, in
selectlng your seed you can be gov

ocoNEE oRAToRIoAL CONTEST.
Westminster and Richland Boys Take
First and Second---Athletics.

The first annual meeting Of the
Oconee County Oratorical Associa-
tion, held at Westminster last Friday
evening, proved to be quite success
The handsome auditorium was COM
pletely filled. fully 900 people from
all sections of the county gaining ad-
mittance, and 200 more, who arrived
! rather late, had to remain outside
owing to lack Of seating capacity.
The four schools participating were
well represented by large contin-
gent Of patrons and pupils from each
town in which they are located.
Westminster turned out in full force,
as is their custom, while Seneca and
Walhaila were each represented by
about 1875 citizens. Richland was
also we'll represented.
The decorations were well carried
out. The "purple and white" Of Wal
halla, the garnet and black" Of
Westminster, the "black and old
gold" Of Seneca and the "black and
white Of Richland mingled in such
way as to be pleasing to the eye.
The contestants all deserve praise
for their remarkable power of ora
tory. Each speaker received libe-
raj applause and congratulations.
The Walhalla High School representa-
tives came In for their share of
praise. Luther Davis, Of the eighth
grade, deserves especial mention for
the manner In which he handled his
subject, "The Character Of Washing
tom His speech, while a long one,
was spoken In very forceful man
ner. Charles Hetrick, Of the ninth
grade, showed graceful ease and his
attempt was recognized generally as
most masterful one.
Hon. J. j. McSwain, Of Greenville,
IN happy speech announced that
the winners were Harold Norris,
Westminster, who won first prize with
Patrick Henry's oration, Liberty or
Death," and Stiles Stribling, Rich
land, who received second prize. His
subject was Farewell to the Con-
federacy."
Mention should also be made of the
sweet music rendered by the young
ladies' of the different schools, which
1T is needless to say, was thoroughly
enjoyed by all.
While sitting in the handsome au-
ditorium at Westminster, one was
reminded Of the fact that the Wal
halla school has no place, where it's
friends may gather on such occa-
SlohS. Ihe Walhalla High School
will extend an invitation that the
next meeting be held here, and 1t is
our earnest hope that hall or audi
torium will be available for the pur-
pose.
Track Meet, April 1st.
And now for the track meet to be
held April lst. The Walhalla team
will work hard to win. Already the
purple and white" team has begun
practice and some Of the boys are de-
Veloping rapidly into sturdy young
athletes.
The two teams recently organized

HILO, July 1.-THE dance and re.
ception given at the Masonic Hall
last Friday by Mr.. and Mrs. C. ..
Kennedy, in honor of Miss Marguer-
tie Vestal, Mrs. Kennedy's sister. was
one of the pleasantest and prettiest
affairs seen in this city for months,
if not for years. over two hundred
couples were present and enjoyed
themselves in every way, as was
shown by the fact that at the hour
of half-past two there were still thirty
couples dancing on the floor.
The grand march was led by Mr.
and Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. f. w. Koehen
and Miss Vestal, Mr.. w. T. Balding
and Mrs. Samuel Johnson, and was
under the direction of Colonel John
son, through whose directions mum
Der of pretty and intricate figures
were performed. The evening ended
with the singing of "Auld Lang
Syne, led by Mr. Kennedy. The hal
was beautifully decorated, the sim
plicity of the designs being in the
most perfect taste. Wreaths of maile
over all the windows and doors gave
the needed effect to relieve any sug.
gestion of baroness on the walls,
while the footlights on the stage were
filled with Shast daisies and ferns,
forming a dainty foreground, behind
which was the music. The floor was
perfect for dancing and is, without
much question, the finest in the Ter
ritory.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1911
TAX COMMISSION WEDNESDAY


On next Wednesday the state tax
commission will visit Iron county for
the purpose of increasing tho assess
ments on the mining properties OF this
county The visit to Iron county Is in
line with one TO GogebIc and Marquet-
te on the same errand.
The chairman of the commission IS
quoted as having said at Saginaw that
il is the intention of the commission
to place the values OF the iron mines
where Finlay placed them.
This would mean valuation ut S23.
600, 600 on the mining properties OF
this county more than the present O.
aualized value of the county by the
state board.of review.
That the mines of this county shonid
be increased In value 40 as to relieve
the general property from the burden
placed upon 1t by the recent increase
in the e.valuations no one, not even
the mining companies themselves. will
gainsay but that they should loo penal
lied because they happen to exist in
Michigan is msnifestedly-u unjust.
The Finlsy report and.the methods
by which 1t was secured have been
threshed out at sufficient length to
show that IL Is not an infallible docu-
ment TO follow. 1t bears harder upon
Iron county than any other because OF
the nature.of.the deposits.of.the.coun'y,
which are scattered and small and re-
quire a great expenditure to open up
nearly as much AS is required to open
up many OF the very large properties
Of the other counties
Within the county it falls hardest
upon the poorer mines in Cry stal Falls
and the entire west side district than
upon the good mines. The big in
crease was no doubt, induced greatly
by the developments on the west side
Of the county. We believe that great
injustice has been done our west side
friends by this report. The finds"
over there are in their hey day just AZ
was the case here years ago when the
Hope, the Paint River. the Columbia.
the Mastodon and other properties over
which the swan song has been sung
were touted AS great finds
Time will. no doubt show many
Mastodons and Hopes. among the west
side finds and the exorbitant valuation
placed upon those drill holes and ex-
ploring shafts are burdening them and
soaring away capital that would other
wise explore and open up cur iron
lands.
IL is to be hoped that the board of
tax commissioners will not run riot with
our mining industry and put back the
development of this county many years
