RANDOM CLIPPINGS
Woodrow Wilson

1t seems that fate itself is aiding
the Democracy. of thes country in
furnishing the party with man like
Woodrow Wilson as their candidat,
for presidential honors, for with that
mixture of mate faith in an oyerrul-
ing Providence, and the eyct sm in
herent in the human race man is
prone to think that, when a man Is
20 fitted by nature and circum-
stances to serve greet purpose, that
"fste" has marked him for it,
But while heliey ing that man is
to work out his own salvation both
in this world and the next, and tArt
fate" is the result Of how we use
the talent intrusted to us by tho
great high Steward above, we can
and do fully appreciate the many
reasons why Woodrow Wilson may
be regarded as a man marked as the
locicaI Democratic candidate for
President next November.

The quaint architecture. the odd un-

the entire primitive aspect were all
new to her delighted eyes.
Jean had stolen q day from the big
house party In order that she might
take the short run over to the little
New Hampshire village where she
could glimpse her fathers birthplace.
She kept her eyes open for the small
landmarks he had told her OF and
searched for the house of his descrip-

The meeting Saturday in the coun-
ty court house for the purpose of
arousing interest i'm the work of tbe
boys corn clubs in this State was
highly satisfactory to those who had
come there for that purpose. The
meeting ended with the re-organiza-
ton of the Sumter County Boys
Corn Club with thirteen members
and the promise of more members in
the near future.
The boys at the meeting endorsed
the bill now before the General AS
sembly which provides for the teach
ing Of agriculture in the common
schools of the State and passed a res
olution asking that it be passed at
this session Of the General Assem-
bly,.
Following the address by Mr.. O..
B. Martin, who was the principal
speaker for the occasion, Mr.. E. W..
Dabbs made a short talk on the
marketing Of crops other than cotton
and Mr.. Fl. w. Beall spoke on the
need of teaching agriculture in the
common schools. Superintendent Of
Education Haynsworth, Mr.. j. Frank
Williams and Mr.. l.. l.. Baker also
had a few words to say about the
work of the boys corn club in this
county and wherein lay its import

jerry Moore, but one boy had made
zZ' bushels on one acre and was not
far behind him in his yield per acre.
Six boys had made. more than 200
pushels of corn on an acre, and at
an average cost of about twenty
cents a bushel. One boy had made
zlz bushels Of corn on one acre at a
cost Of SO cents a bushel. This was
the most striking thing that had ..er
done by any Of the boys and ;, Ras
what the boys corn club deparurert
wanted more Of. Not the raisinq *
so much corn on an acre N.eH a.
was raised at heavy cost, but the
raising Of corn at a reduced cost per
bushel. He laid great stress on this
point Corn could be grown by the
use of a great deal of fertilizer but
he wanted the boys to grow it at
less cost than it had formerly cost
them or their fathers when IL was
grown.
He then went on to tell of the
fact that he had $4,000 boys on his
rolls now and had had that many for
the past few years, but the effort was
being made this year to get twice
that number at least. He wanted to
see the corn club in this county sue
ceed and he would do all in his DOW
er to make it success 1t was left
with the boys themselves to show
what they could do after hearing all
of the instructions that they could
get from Clemson College ana the To-
cal demonstrators.
After the other addresses had been
made and the corn club organized by
Mr.. l.. L. Baker, the work, of se-
curing more members for the corn
club was left with Mr. j. Frank Will
liams and County Superintendent Of
Education j. H. Haynsworth and the
boys who had joined the club. The
names Of any more boys who wanted
to join were to be turned over to these
persons and forwarded on to Mr..
