changed from II o'clock in the morn
ing to 10 o'clock, and the county sup
erintendent of education urges every
boy who has joined the club to be

County Superintendent of Education
E. H. Aull has mailed a personal let
ter to each boy in the club urging him
to be on hand at the court house
promptly at 10 o'clock.

ment station at Clemson col
lege will be present Mr. w. L. Eng

accepted an invitation to meet with

commissioner of agriculture, and Mr.
A. G. Smith, of Columbia, are also ex-

In addition to this, a personal letter
has been written to each one of the
gentlemen offering prizes in the boys
corn club to meet with the boys on
May 10.
The meeting will not last over an
hour and half, and the county sup
intendent of education is very anxious
that every boy VI has joined will
show his interest by being on hand
promptly at 10 o'clock May 10.
The county superintendent of educa-
tion states that he is very much graft
fed with the voluntary and hearty re-
i sponse of the business men of New
berry and Prosperity in the matter
of offering prizes in the boys corn
club. The list is published for the in
formation of the boys as we'll as for
the information of the public The
prizes are not large, but the superin-
teqdent of education is gratifled with
the heartiness and good spirit in which
they have been offered, and he hopes
that the boys will appreciate the in
te' est which is being taken in them to
make an honest effort to have the
Newberry club the best in the State.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. John NJ.
Kinard, president of the Commercial
bank, has already contributed to each
boy sufficient amount Of corn to plant
his acre. This is specially selected
seed, and it gives to each boy the same
opportunity so far as seed is concern
ed In addition to this, it will be re-
membered that the chamber of COM
merce of Newberry offers prize of
S10O to any boy who will ttke a prize
at the National Corn show to be held
in Columbia in January, 1913.

make the boys corn club a success is
squarely up to the boys, and the county
superintendent says that he is very
anxious to have the boys make good
