The meeting at Aberdeen last week
of the State Builders was one OF the
greatest gatherings Of it's kind ever
held in the northwest. Over a thous-
and live boosters from every section
of the state were present, in addition
Ito delegations from the Twin Cities
and surrounding states, and the up
building Of South Dakota was the
sole subject discussed. AS a result
there is a feeling of optimism as to
the future of the state, which with
the good feeling and cooperative
spirit engendered at the meeting will
do much for South Dakota.
President Slagle and Profs. Han
sen, Hume and Larsen Of the State
college, were the Brookings people
on the program and they delivered
addresses that elected the most IA
vorable commentator. It was GER
tainly a tribute to the State college
that it was the only state institution
represented on the program and de-
monstrates that the people Of the
state know where to look for the
proper assistance in the upbuilding Of
South Dakota.

A FINE SHOWING

On Tuesday evening the faculty and
students Of the college of engineering
Of the State college held open house
and entertained a crowd that COM
pletely packed the engineering build
ing. The crowd, which was estimated
at nearly two thousand people, was
so large that it was impossible to get
a good view Of the work being done,
but 1t demonstrated the interest the
people of the city have in the institu-
ton on the hill.
The various departments Of the
building were going in full blast, car
eying on the regular work in the diff
ferent Laboratories that Is done each
day and it was certainly interesting
and educational. Many OF the visitors,
even though they have lived in Brook
ings for years, had never been in the
building before and did not realize the
character or magnitude Of the work
being carried on there. The exhibit
demonstrates that the college has a
splendid engineering department, pre-
sided over by an efficient and enthu'
siastic faculty, and Is giving the
young men of the state the best en-
gineering instruction obtainable any.
where. Too many people. perhaps,
are Of the opinion that the instruction
given at the college runs largely to
agriculture. but II they had visited the
big engineering building on Tuesday
evening they would have quickly re
vised this opinion.
Prof. Christensen and his orchestra
furnished music during &he evening
and refreshments were served.

TEACHERS AND
OFFICERS MEET
ANNUAL EDUCATIONAL MEET.
ING HELD IN BROOKINGS
LAST SATURDAY
STATE SUPT. LAWRENCE IS PRESENT
Matters for Welfare and Betterment
of the Rural Schools are Discus
sed-Big Crowd Is Present.

The annual meeting Of the school
officers and school teachers OF the ru-
raj and village schools of the county
was held in Brookings last Saturday.
The attendance was the largest OF
any similar meeting ever held here
and there was an interest and enthu-
siasm displayed that indicates a very
healthy condition in the educational
interests of the county. One hundred
and twenty teachers were present,
which is a remarkable showing when
1t is taken into consideration that
there are only about that number Of
schools in the county, so that practi-
cally every teacher attended. The at
tendance OF officers was excellent,
too. there being about one. hundred
and sixty present.
At the morning session the teachers
and officers each held meetings and
in the afternoon a joint session was
held at the opera house. At their
morning meeting the teachers took
up the regular reading circle work,
while the officers at their session had
q general discussion upon school sub.
jects and an explanation of the annu-
al school report. State Superinten-
dent C. G. Lawrence of Pierre, was
present and made an address contain
ing many helpful suggestions.
The lower floor OF the opera house
was completely filled at the afternoon
session, many OF the officers bringing
their wives and families, State Su-
p~erintendent Lawrence gave a splen-
did address, which was listened to
with keen interest. Miss Kelly Of the
White high school, gave an excellent
reading, and DR.. A. w. Hyde gave an
Interesting and instructive talk on
Health and Sanitation" A general
discussion Of the topic, Text Book
Adoption and other school matters
followed. Miss Stedman, the county
superintendent, presented the ques-
tion of raising money for the con-
Struction OF an educational building
on the fair grounds, and the senti.
ment seemed to heartily favor 1t.
About seventy dollars was turned in
by different districts Saturday, which
brings the total amount already on
hand to two hundred and fifty dollars.
A number of other districts will have
socials or other entertainments to
help swell the fund.
Miss Stedman called upon the
teachers for an exhibit Of the work
of the village and country school in
connection with the meeting and this
was on display at the s~uperinten-
dents once. The display was one OF
the finest exhibits Of school work

COUNTY FAIR
DATES NAMED
TUESDAY,, WEDNESDAY,, THURS
Vice-Presidents Held and Fair
Business Transacted.
CH|lOUEN'S DAY SET FOR SEPT. 18
Meeting of County Fair Directors and
Vice-Presidents held and Fair
business transacted

The board Of directors of the
Brookings County Fair Association
held a meeting in this city Monday
afternoon n disposed OF several
very important matters in relation
Ito the coming fair. The township
vice presidents were invited to meet
with the board and quite a large num-
her of them responded.
AS We have mentioned previously
the fair this veal will be held three
days instead Of four, but enough good
things will be crowded into the three
days to make up for the dropping OF
1.-THE day. The day discarded this year
Twill be Monday, which at previous
fairs has never been very profitable
ito the association, nor enjoyable to
the few people who attended, the day
being mostly given yer to the bring
ing in and arrangement Of the exhib.
its. This work. will be done on Mon
day the coming year, but there will
DE no visitors admitted to the
grounds.
The dates of the fair will be Sep
TENDER II, IS and 10, the 18th being
Tuesday. This will be the third week
lin the month and the week following
THE state fair. There was some SEN
timent In favor OF having the fair the
first week in September, but it was
felt that the farmers are too busy
with threshing at that time.
Children's Day will be on Wednes-
day. the second day Of the fair, which
will give the youngsters the best day
'of the three. This is right and prop
FER, as there is nothing too good for
fhe boys and girls.
The premiums for township exhib-
dts were increased to $3.50, divided as
Follows: n prize Of forty dollars,
bne Of twenty-five dollars, one Of
h%ifteen dollars, two OF ten dollars and
Isix of five dollars.
There will be one good harness
race each day, in addition to other
races M a good base ball game will
fbe staged each day. The ball games
Twill be played in the morning, so as
to not interfere with the afternoon
sports, and anyone buying a ticket
Tor the morning will be entitled to
admission in the afternoon on the
same ticket.
1t is also planned to have a good
speaker each day, and other features
ITO make the fair the best one ever
held We're discussed and will be made
known in due time.

that could be imagined and was GER
tainly a credit to the teachers and
pupils OF the county.
Miss Stedman is to be congratulate

road grading machinery a be used
the work can be done very much
cheaper than by team work and
scrapers.
The next thing in Importance in
connection with dirt road construc-
ton, that has been overlooked in the
past, is the use Of a steam roller.
Where considerable dirt is graded up,
the same will remain loose and spon-
gy for a considerable time, and a
wagon with a heavy load will tend
to cut through. This can be avoided
altogether by using a ten ton road
roller which will pack the dirt solid
enough for all kinds of loads An
ordinary traction engine can be used
for this packing, but the Jugs on the
drive wheels will form pockets in the
surface. These pockets will be COW
cred with loose dirt and after every
rain will retain considerable moisture
that will tend to destroy the road
surface. Whereas the wheels on the
steam roller will produce a smooth
surface that will be so solid that
every man with a heavy load will
seek the center OF the roadway at
nee instead Of the usual custom OF
trying to avoid the newly constructed
roads. One steam roller owned by
zach county would be sufficient for
all road work in that county.
Another very important factor in
connection with good road construc.
ton is a layer Of gravel for the sur
face. 1t does not matter whether the
road surface is constructed Of black
loan or clay, it becomes intensely
sticky in wet weather. Hence a
covering of gravel should be put on
wherever possible. This need not be
more than eight feet wide and about
four inches thick in the center and
somewhat thinner at the outer edge.
Hence a load Of gravel should cover
approximately twelve feet of length
of roadway.
After this gravel is put on It should
be run over with the steam roller
at once. This will produce an ideal
road surface on most of the prairie
roads.
In those places where gravel can
not be obtained except at a high
price, sand can be used both with
black loan and clay. But the sand
in order to produce good results must
be thoroughly mixed with the dirt.
This a best be done by first using
"a disk harrow, then a common har.
row. Enough sand must be used to
produce a brittle surface that will
not stick TO wheels in wet weather.
After the sand Is mixed, then use
1.-THE road roller and pack the roadway.
"a thin layer Of sand on the top will
then produce a good road surface.
After the dirt road is constructed.
the simplest and the best way to
maintain it in good condition is by
means Of the King road drag. The
best drag for this purpose is a sub
stantial adjustable steel drag. Every
road district should have some re-
sponsible party to use the drag after
every rain on all main travelled roads.
There will be a great deal Of road
construction work done in South Da-
kota during the next few weeks. And
the above points as briefly stated are
vital both to good construction and
maintenance. II followed out, they
will produce good results with the
minimum OUTLAY Of money.

Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1912-06-19

The Hon. Benton McMillin has
announced himself candidate for
governor subject to the action of
the Democratic party in the Au-
gust primary, 1t is barely posi-
sible that he has waited too long
as the people have begun to line
up on the other candidates. If he
had announced early IN the game
he would not have had any opposi-
ton. He Is a man of immense
popularity with the Tennessee
masses and has a record that is
without blemlsh. He has been n
Democrat all the time AMI in the
last campaign when the party was
in struggle for its life he was
loyal to the coIors and stayed I'M
flinchinglY with the organization
The indications all point to his
nomination. Many Democrats
who have declared for Mr.. Frazier
under the impression that McMlllin
would not be a candidate in the
new phase of things will turn to
/
him. He will be powerful OPP
ponent to any asplrant. Certain
it is that his candidacy will not
improve the chances Of any man
now in the field. Those who hug
this hattering JUNCTION to their
souls will wake up to find that he
has placed the coveted plum ont
of their reach. McMiIIin is an
easy man to carry. There is moth
ing against him. HIS record Is
without stain and he made q
most excellent governor. The
contest will doubtless lie between
him and Frazier and in that event
he will have the advantage of Fra,
zier in the consistency of his
Democracy, In every contest Nc,
Mlllin has been found on the firing
line.
