South Carolina Leads.

While South Carolina is regarded as
one of the poorest of the southern
states, due to the excessive ravages OF
the Civil war, yet it is encouraging to
note that this state is taking the lead
in progressive agriculture. For several
years South Carolina has held the
worlds record for the maximum yield
of corn grown upon one acre, and now
the government figures show that for
the year 1911 this state led in the larg-
est average yield of lint cotton per
acre.
The average yield per acre in South
Carolina last year was 280 pounds of
lint, Georgia being second with yield
of 24O pounds. The splendid showing
which this state made is attributed to
intensive farming and improved meth
DDS generally.
1t has been demonstrated over and
over that our soil can be made to pro-
duce large yields CO all Of the staple
crops. The next thing for our farmers
to consider'is the improvement of the
fertility of the soil so these crops can
be grown as cheaply here as elsewhere.
In this connection, it is encouraging to
note that hundreds of farmers have al
ready awakened to the Importance of
this, and through deep plowing, rota-
tion and diversifcation are steadily i'm
proving their impoverished lands.

quarried granite, which gives them
a somewhat antiquated, at the same
time imposing and enduring, ap-
pearance. Their unique beauty and
picturesqueness are enhanced by the
luxuriant growth of ivy that almost
completely covers some of them.
These buildings, such as the library,
chapel, executive building, gymna-
SUM, laboratory, dorrnitories, and
class rooms, are designated as halls.
For instance, there are Rockefeller
hall, Carnegie hall, ETC., each, pre-
sumably, being named for its donor.
Unlike that of Vassar college, in
stead of being level, the campus Of
Bryn Mawr, which covers altogeth-
er an alea of about so acres, is suf-
fciently rolling or undulating to
give the whole a picturesque ap-
pearance and environment that most
institutions, in spite of their wealth,
do not enjoy. Large trees afford
dense shade in some portions of the
campus, and the effective arrange
;, ent of hedges, evergreens, flower
ing shrubbery and plants of all
kinds indicate that a gifted land
scape artist has been in constant at
tendance.
All of the instructors, about 60
in number, and the student body OF
500, were away on their summer
vacation, but the custodian of the
property cheerfully, and with COM
mendable patience, answered our
numerous questions concerning the
institution. The grass, flowers and
trees presented such strikingly
beautiful scene at this, the summer,
season, we asked him as to the ap-
pearance of the campus in the win
ter. His reply was, Everything
looks very we'll when the winter is
not severe and long," remarking in
this connection that the ground at
Bryn Mawr was covered with snow
for three months last winter.
When asked about the depth of the
snow, he said that last winter it was
not over two feet ssbut frequently is
more than waist deep.
This institution is not noted for
the largeness of its student body,
being less than that of Winthrop
college, but its prestige has come
through its splendid equipment and
through the high grade of work
that it does. We are not informed
as to the actual cost of tuition, etc.,
but Judging from what we have
read of the institution there are on
ly few parents in South Carolina,
comparatively speaking, who are
financially able to educate their
daughters at Bryn Mawr. And, un-
fortunately, too, there are Dut
few young women in the state
whose ambition leads them as high
as the Bryn Mawr standard and
curriculum.
The Advertisers little daughter
greatly admired Bryn Mawr and
its beautiful surroundings, even
more than she did Vassar college last
summer, but when she heard the
custodian of the property speak of
the length, breadth and thickness of
the Bryn Mawr SHOWS she became
disenchanted, deciding that, for the
present at least, the S. G. G. |. and
the &C. l." campus are good enough
for her.

It is said that the per capita circula-

6 cents during the past year, from
$34.2O to S34.26. Somebody has his

The night session was presided
over by Mr.. W., NJ. Duncan, the

school" was very practical. What
he said was drawn largely from his
own experience in the largest Sun
day school in the conference. He is
pastor of Main street church in Co.
lumbia and is very practical and
tactful manager of young people.
Mr.. J. M. Way emphasized very
forcefully the importance of OBJ
serving special Sunday school days
such as Christmas, children's day,
and rally day.
Rev. A. E. Driggers in very en-
tertaining and forceful way told the

ior leagues and other young people
for future service in the church. He
is forceful speaker and the con-
ference is always glad to hear him.
