Oyster Supper.

The committees Of the Chamber OF
Commerce are getting very busy
these days holding meetings and pre-
pairing for the oyster supper and reg
tular semi-annual meeting to be held
on Tuesday evening Of the 21st at
which time the chairman Of each
committee is expected to have re-
port ready telling Of the work that
his committee has accomplished the
last half year and to outline plans
for the coming months.
1t is hoped that the committee on
streets, Of which J. F. Glenn is chair
man, and the committee on member
ship, of which d. d. Noise is chair
man, will hold meetings the last of
the week.
That the streets of Sumter need
repair and that there are holes that
are growing deeper every day, does
not need discussion. This is certain
ly true Of Washington and Broad
streets and is doubtless true Of many
others. What is the trouble? A lit
tie clay there would help lot. Sum-
ter needs a bigger and a broader po-
Icy If we are to grow. There are
streets that could be widened and
there are streets that could be open
ed. The Council Is trying to do a
mans task with boys income. We
have out-grown our clothes and we
must find a new suit. Don't kick
and tell what ought to be done but
let's hear your remedy You will be
given a chance to talk at the big
meeting on the 21st. What We need
at that meeting are men that will
stand up on their feet and not only
tell the citizens of Sumter in as few
words as possible what ought TO be
done TO build a better and greater
Sumter, but do 1t.

FARMERS BOY DAY
At THE STATE FARM

The first Delaware Farmer S Boy
Day will be held at the State Farm
Newark, on Saturday, September
23rd, 1911.
The purpose OF the day is to bring
the young men of Delaware to the
State Farm and show them what is
being done there to promote an in
derest in agriculture--the basic in
dustry of the State.
At the present time, there is much
for the keen minded country boy to
see at the State Farm. Among the
many points of interest that will ap-
peal to almost any young man is the
work in the Horticultural Depart
ment, which contains about thirty
five acres, and in which there is
growing 495 different varieties of
fruit. The commercial orchards are
among the best looking ones in the
State. Here the boy who is inter-
Milford chronicle., 1911-09-08

ested in horticulture can study the
effect of different fertilizers upon the
growth of the tree, the color Of the
foliage, and the amount Of fruit pro-
duced. He will also see how differ
ent cover crops influence the devel-
opment of trees, and observe the
different methods of pruning.
Prof. McCue has under way what
is probably the most elaborate and
comprehensive experiment ever un-
dertaken to determine the function
of nitrogen, phosphorus and potas-
stun in the growing Of peaches. To
see this experiment in all its details
is alone worth the trip to Newark.
Prof. McCue is also carrying on a
rather extensive experiment with to-
matoes. Included under this head
is the testing Of a large number Of
varieties, about forty of which are
at present growing on the State Farm.
The effect of different fertilizers on
this crop is also a rather striking
feature of the work of the Horticul-
tural Department.
The boys who are particularly in
terested in grain and forage crops
will take especial delight in what
Milford chronicle., 1911-09-08

Prof. Grantham is doing on his 800
experimental plots. Here a large
number of varieties of corn are to
be seen growing side by side, under
identical conditions, showing the re-
suit of careful breeding for a long
Deriod In the rotation plots, an
opportunity is found to learn great
deal in regard to the plant food re-
ouirements for corn, as the differ
ences in these plots are very marked,
in many cases showing that the bal
ance between profit and loss is turned
by the right or wrong kind of ferti-
lizer.
Probably nowhere in the United
States is there such a demonstration
!of SOW beans as at the State Farm.
Prof. Grantham has a large number
of varieties that he is testing for their
Yields of grain, oil and hay. They
are attracting the attention of every
visitor to the farm. The total acre
age on the farm this year is approx
mately forty.
In the Live Stock Department
there are eleven different breeds Of
animals represented. In the herds,
studs and Aocks may be found some
unusually choice specimens-ani-
mails that would attract attention
almost anywhere.
Prof. Hayward expects to give the
boy a demonstration in judging on
Farmers Boy Day" going over
some of the pure bred animals on
the farm and showing the use Of the
score card.
The forenoon will be spent in the
barns and fields. A farmers lunch
will be served at y. 30, after which
Prof. Frank Tuck Of Cornell Univer-
sity will address the boys on some
agricultural topic
The farmers of the State are es-
pecially requested to arrange their
work so that the boys can be spared
for this occasion. The "boy" of to-
day will be the farmer of tomorrow.
His efficiency as a farmer and as
citizen will depend upon the enthu-
siasm and business ability he puts
into his work. A day at the State
Farm will not hurt him, and it may
do him a great deal of good.

Comment:

If [ have not told the truth about
the salaries paid to foreign mission
aries and to the Baptist Board in
Richmond, Va:, it is because I have
been misled by statements published
in the Cnristian InGcx over the sig
nature Of such Doctors of Divinity as
w. III. Smith and r. J. WiIlingham.
The salaries of the Secretaries of
the Foreign Board located at Rich
mond, Va, are as follows:
Dr. r. J. Willingham, Correspond
ing Secretary, $4,000.
w. Fl. Smith, Editorial Secretary,
$2,750.
r. 3, Ray, Educational Secretary,
$4,000.
S. J. Porter, Field Secretary,
$2,750.
The Recording Secretary also gets
a salary Of about $4,000. The ex-
penses of the Board include Office
rent, desks, typewriters, electric light
and water works, clerical hire, rail-
road and cab fare, and hotel bills.
Some time ago it was officially adj
mitted that the total annual expense
of the Richmond Board was, in round
numbers, $4,000.

the afTidavits of DR.. r. J. Willingham
and the other members of the Board

ASSOCIATION.

Dear Sir: The Baptist Association
is in session at this place. Today
DR.. Bennett, of Atlanta, who is Sec
rotary of the State Board, preached
a missionary sermon. He dwelt large
ly on what he had read in a certain
Georgian's paper. He didn't call any
you who he was alluding to. He just
simply made you out lie all the
way through. He says the Board
does not get red cent.
Said all that the President of that
Board gets out Of it is, he has to give
all those men their dinners and said
as to the missionaries having so many
servants, said they didn't have them,
unless it was where some million
aires daughter had gone out as a
missionary and her father gave her
money to have servants He says it
costs so much for people to live in
China Says butter is one dollar
pound. [ wish l could tell you all he
did say, but can't think of ali just
now. He may have lowered you in
SEINE peoples eyes but he sure did
not in mine and several others I have
heard speak Of it, but certainly did
lower himself with some. I just
can't believe that you would put
anything in your paper that you
couldn't prove. It is strange that so
many are working for nothing. That
preacher said that the Georgian that
he spoke Of was trying to do away
with foreign missions, and wanted ev
eryb0dy TO pray tor him. So maybe
If you are wrong God will show it to
you in answer to prayers that are So
ing up for you, though I do not be-
feve that you are wrong. He also
said that when dollar was put in
to be sent to China that whole dollar
went there. Not q cent was taken
out. While these preachers are pray
ins for the Lord to show you where
you are wrong, I am praying to Him
to give you strength and courage to
continue your good works.

Burlington, VT, Oct. 10.-After

by troopers whom he held at bay for

A WOMAN'S VIEWS.

Mr. Watson: I just want to say
that / am surprised that you did not
give us more suitable name for
those mean white men, that is
too good. You know there are lots
of mean men, and some Of them don t
bother negro women. They ought to
have a distinguished name; l can't
think Of suitable one MT. Watson
they are worse than mean-they are
worse than brutes; because brutes
don't know any better. The good
white men ought to take more inter
est in this negro question, and stir
things uD from the bottom.
I bellows they could do something
If they would. Suppose the white wo-
men Of Thomaston should start and
do like the men, / wonder what
would happen?
II / was the wife Of one Of those
mean men" I'd try to get the others
together and do something to have
such unlawful doings stopped.
[ believe Thomaston is chuck full
Of such men and it is 6 shame-yes,
an objectionable sin. They are al
over the country and all over the
world.
The negro women think themselves
above the poor white women. Lhey
can dress nicer and have nicer things
in their homes and it is hard mat
ter to get one Of them to do
any thing for the poor white women.
They can live wei without working
so hard.
When they do anything for one,
they must have their price. They can
ride in fine bUggies and drive fine
horses and oct like rich people. The
merchants and big land owners are
to blame for the upidy negro. They
viii rent good land out from under
good white people, to the hateful ne
gro. They will sell a negro a buggy
and horse quicker than they will q
poor white man. There are negroes
living on the best land in Epson Co
getting rich, and the poor white man
has to take any Old thing Just because
the big land owners won't rent him a
small farm of good land. There are
negroes living all around and right
in the white school yard; if you
don't believe it just go to Pickard
school between Thomaston and Crest
and you will sec it. BY the way, I
don't think the pot can call the ket-
tie black about the mulatt0es. The
Southern men are as deep in the mud
as the Northern men.
l think about half the negroes in
Thomast0n are yellow, and | think it
great big sin.
There is one more word I want to
say and then [ will quit. The white
men help the negro to make good
living, buying whigkey from them,
and not reporting them; just let a
white man sell it and see if he don /
catch it. ! think the Revenue Officers
ought to be made to find them. /
wonder if one man cant throw stones
at the other, or is he afraid to?
You can see that ! am not educated
and you may not even read this, but
every one is free to say what they
want to, and when a pot gets too hot
it boilg over. / will not sign my
name but I'm not afraid, but
ashamed; because, am,
