"Will Come Home to Roost.' y

We have been Informed that our
friend Jim Gilchrist is making all
sorts of money in thedairy busine ss
near Augusta. He and another gen
tleman recently paid $4,000 for 10
high-bred dairy COWS. When we last
saw Jim he was, as usual, putting
up poor mouth" but we were
keen-eyed enough to see that he was
half way fbbing. While The Ad-
vertiser is always glad to hear of
the success of Edgefeld men, it
matters not where they have cast
their lot, yet we do not like to be
everlastingly recording the success
of some Georgia fellow. The i'm
preston, erroneous of course, will
be shed abroad that on the southern
bank of the Savannah is better than
on the northern bank. Well wager
dollars to doughnuts that when Jim
Gilchrist becomes weighted down
with wealth and wants some place
to pass the remainder of his years
in blissful retirement he will seek
the rugged hills of Rehoboth. Isn't
that true, Jim? Like chickens, our
Georgia friends will yet come hone
to roost.

Corn Prizes Must be Awarded.

The committees who were ap-
pointed to measure the land and
yield of corn are unusually late this
fall in filling their reports. We
must urge that they be sent in at
once, so the prizes can be paid to
the winners. The Advertiser has
$50 in cash to be paid to the three
farmers in the contest who, accord
ing to the reports of the judges,
have made the three highest yields.
In order to close up the 1912 con-
test we have set December Is as
the final day for sending in these
reports. Those that are not sent in
by that time will be debarred. Up
to this date only one report has
reached this office. Contestants,
tell the committee that Judged your
corn to send the report in at once.
this is the last. All reports not
filed by Decembe, will be ruled
Tut. Understand US, The Adverti-
Sc, does not wish to debar any con-
testant, but in justice to the editor,
to the reputation of the paper, con-
testants and to interested friends,
the matter must be closed and the
prizes paid.

A Pleasant Surprise.

Rev. and Mrs. E. G. Bailey on
last Thanksgiving day were the re-
cipients ola generous gift by some
Trenton friends. AS yet we have
not been able to apprehend all the
guilty parties, but as soon as we
do, we will have them arrested and
imprisoned for life in love and
gratitude. The bills all had denomi-
nations on them, but the gift seems
to be inter-denominational. Many
thanks to you all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey.

struction by the experts in charge
of the exhibits from the different
states. A pleasure trip to Charleston
and cruise saround the points of
interest at the city has been planned,
thus giving the boys an op.>ortuni-
ty to see the historic place. At the
close of the weeks school, the boys
will be given diplomas or certif-
Gates showing that each boy has
taken the work prescribed. On the
last night of the school, the city of
Columbia will give banquet tv all
the boys attending, where the toast
master will be the boy holding the
best record in the entire south. Here
they will have an opportunity to
meet boys from all the southern
states and many Of the northern as
well. They will study the exhibits
of all the states represented, thus
getting direct information as to the
products of these states. The prob
lens being worked out by different
Experiment Stations will be studied
and the Importance of each problem
stressed. These are only very few
of the things the boys will get from
this school. The inspiration given
the boys here will be worth fully as
much as years work in the ordi-
nary school.
The school will be conducted
along semi.military lines, members
of the senior class of Clemson Col
lege acting as officers. The school
be under the direct charge of Mr..
]. B. Hobby, an experienced man
from Alabama. A regular schedule
will be made out and every boy ex-
pected to follow same details of
this schedule will be published later.
Many of the counties in South
Carolina have already arranged for
the two prize winning boys to at
tend this school. Those having no.
titled this office are as follows: Alb
beville, Aiken, Anderson, Barnwell,
Cherokee, Chester, Chesterfield,
Clarendon, Darlington, Edgefeld,
Fairfield, Florence, Greenville,
Hampton, Horny, Laurens, Lee,
Marlboro, Orangeburg, Oconee,
Richland, Sumter, Union and Will
liamsburg. Other counties may have
arranged for the boys but have not
reported to this office.
In making the arrangements all
that is necessary will be to obtain
funds for transportation both ways
from the county seat to Columbia
and fund of one dollar per day
while the boys are in Columbia. The
boys will be required to bring blan-
kets, towels, etc. Rates from each
county seat may be obtained by ap-
plying to Geo. H. Stephenson, Gen.
mgr. Palmetto Bank Building, Co.

William ]. Bryan on Educa.
ton.

What would we do if we should
see father deliberately cut off one
of his boys arms? asked William
Jennings Bryan in speech in Ra-
leigh last week. And yet, the great
Nebraskan rightly went on to say,
in this day, when no illlterate man
can successfully compare with an
educated one in anything, a father
who cuts off one of his boys arms,
sending him into life with only one
instead Of two, would be doing his
child no more serious an injury than
the father who deliberately neglects
to give his boy an education. The
simile is good one indeed.
and one that we wish to en-
phasize in connection with our
campaign fora ''Six-Months' School
Term for Every Country Boy and
Girl" A mans physical strength
is not even half his strength in the
world to-day; an education counts
for more than half in every line of
work-in farming and in everything
else. In the fierce industrial strug-
gle of today, strong well-trained
body may be compared to ones left
hand, but strong, well-trained
mind is ones right hand. In cut
ting off your boys chance for an
education, therefore, it is almost as
if you were cutting off his right
hand.
Its mighty poor sort of law
and civilization, Mr.. Bryan con-
cluded, that will go out after a
man and compel him to pay back
50 he borrowed, but will let him
send his own flesh and blood out
into life hopelessly handicapped for
want of schooling they might have
had" And in our opinion MIR.
Bryan was right.-ProgresSive Far

Students of The S. c. c. I. En-,
joyed Their Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day was very pleas
antly spent by the students of the
South Carolina Co-Educational In
stitute. After religious exercises in
the chapel the students were given
general leave for the day. On ac-
count of the snow which fell the
night before, the football contest
which had been arranged between
the S. G. G. I. cadets and the cadets
of the Richmond academy of Au-
gusta had to be called off, which
caused much disappointment among
the cadets as we'll as among many
people of the town who enjoy wit
Messing football. Having cancelled
the football engagement, the boys
had tc content themselves with a
snow battle on the campus, which
ragged furiously for some time.
Probably after all this was best, as
there were no broken heads or
bruised shins resulting from this
bloodless battle.
The climax of the daY was reach
ed at 6 o'clock IN the afternoon
when the students assembled in the
large dining hall and partook of the
annual turkey dinner. The menu
was very elaborate and everything
was beautifully served in spite of
the very large number who partici-
pated. President Bailey spares no
efforts or money in providing every
possible delicacy for the annual
Thanksgiving feast, for which the
S. G. G. I. has become famous.
The menu was in part as follows:
Turkey,
Cranberry sauce, Dressing,
Pickle,
Rice, Gravy, Macaroni,
Candied Yams,
Baked beans, bread, jelly,
Coffee,
Ambrosia, Cake,
Confectionery.
Immediately after leaving the
dining hall the girls and boys pass
ed a pleasant social hour in the col
lege parlors. Then they assembled
in the auditorium where they listen
A

Hall-Phillips Land Deal.

What proved to be the longest and
most interesting case in circuit court
which convened at Dodgeville last week
was that of George w, Hall of Free
port VS.. Charles F. Phillips Of Dodge
Vile. It seems that Mr. Phillips traded
some Dakota land for some Freeport
real estate. Mr.. Phillips inspected his
property and Mr.. Hall went to Dakota
where he claims he was shown good
land and given different tract alto
gether. The attorneys for both sides
were on their mettle.
After being out over eight hours the
jury returned with a verdict in favor
of the defendant The case is regarded
as very unusual as instead of rendering
a decision of guilty" or mot guilty
the jury was required to answer six or
seven questions prepared by the court,
which is rendered as a special verdict.
One amusing feature is the fact that
at one time the jury stood 10 to 2
against the defendant.

OBITUARY.

William Davies, son of the late
Ebenezer Davies and of Margaret, his
wife, also deceased died at the old
homestead in the town Of Mifilin at II
O'Clock Tuesday morning, April 30,
1912, aged SO years, leaving to mourn
his loss one sister, Miriam Davies, and
two brothers, Llewllyn and John, all of
whom were present at his funeral.
Mr.. Davies joined the Calvanstic
Methodist church at the age Of ~
years He was fond If reading and
much Of his .im0 was spent in the study
of music. He was most proficient in
both vocal and instrumental music
which he studied because he loved It.
He was student at the Platteville
Normal but was brought home i'll three
weeks before graduation For year
and half he was slowing recovering,
and was then able to take position as
vocal instructor to about 1900 pupils at
the Indian Industrial School at Carlisle,
Pa, later he became principal at
Pahuska, Oklahoma, and still later at
Chilocco, Oklahoma, staying two years
at each place. When in Chilocco he
was taken very i'll with pIeuro pneu-
monia and spent several weeks in the
hospital in Arkansas City. While in
Oklahoma he was nominated as dele
gate to both St. Louis and Portland
Worlds Fairs. He also taught two
years in our neighborhood, where he
was loved by all his pupils. Four years
ago i'll health again compelled him to
resign his duties. Travelling in search
of health he gained but temporary re-
lief and returned to the old home for
his last long struggle with disease. He
met each day with gentle patience, firm
courage and answering loyalty to his
childhood's teachings. In December
he was ready to take another journey
west in search of health but came down
with pneumonia the last moment. The
last four months he spent in bed, sur
rounded by every attention trained
nurses, physicians and loving brothers
and sister could devise. For nearly
four months ne lay upon his death bed
without single murmur or complaint.
He was always anxious to see his
friends but was seldom able to see
them during his last illness. Between
him and his brothers and sister there
has always been the bond of tenderest
sympathy His winning personality
has endeared him to wide circle of
friends and acquaintance. Will Davies
was absolutely truthful in all things
and was honest in all his dealings with
others and in his own convictions. He
lived life of christian virtue and ster-
ling manliness, and died in the firm
faith of the Most High.
