A Help and a Hindrance.

Elective way. He frequently receives
invitations to visit large northern ana
western cities, and wherever ne goes
he never fails to make good impress

sells in his simple, modest way how ne
made the record-breaking yield of corn.

Board Calls Mass Meeting.

Elsewhere in this iysre the members
of the board of trustees of the school
property issue call for mass meet
ing of the citizens Of the town to be
held in the court house Friday after
mon to consider the matter of keeping
lag the South Carolina Co-Educational
Iastitutein Edgefeld. Col. Bailey has
received two offers from other towns
but as he prefers to remain in Edge
field, unless it involves too great sac
riice, we believe the school can be
kept here if the proper efforts are put
forth.
In the first place, the people of the
town should not ask or expect Col.
Bailey to continue the school here un-
less the property is repaired and i'm
proved to meet present day conditions.
At the time the building was erected
it was adequate to the needs of such
an institution but to-day it does not
meet the requirements Of this or any
other similar school.
In the second place, purely as busi-
ness proposition it will pay the town to
spend some money on the building in
making needed repairs. Whether Col.
Bailey remains or not, the building
must be recovered and otherwise re-
paired. 1t would be very unwise for
our people to let school property
worth something like $4,000 to go to
ruin.
The Advertiser is confident that the
citizens of the town will come together
and provide the means for making the
necessary repairs and improvements,
which will not only preserve the prop
erty but will also keep the S. c. c. /.
in Edgefeld.
With one voice the people of Edge
field say: "We can not afford to let
Col. Bailey move his institution else
where"

Edgefeld County's Corn Record.

AS stated by our Clark's Hill cores
ponden who, if we mistake not, was
one of the exhibitors, eight of the nine
prizes that were offered at the corn
show in Augusta last week were won
by Edgefeld county farmers. Is this
not something of which the people of
our county should be proud? Not only
so, but this success should stimulate
the m to undertake greater things in
the future. Our farmers have just
awakened to the vast possibilities OF
agriculture, and we expect to see
greater progress made IN the next de-
C ade than was made in the past half
century.
1t is exceedingly gratifying that
Edgefeld has come to the front as one
of the leading corn growing counties
in the south. Since sThe Advertiser
began the corn agitation ;systemati-
cally five years ago, it has not only
pub lished line upon line, but column
upon column and page upon page upon
this subject using every possible means
to stimulate our farmers, and we feel
amply repaid by whaS is now being
achieved as compared with the results
obtained several years ago. The fact
is we have only begun. Within the
next five years, unless during seasons
of exceedingly adverse conditions, such
as last year was, Edgefela will become
corn-selling instead of sor7l-buying
county.
1t is true that the corn crop has IN
the main been a failure iE this county
this year, but it is due more to ex-
tremely unfavorable conditions than
to the farmers themselves. Al prom
inent farmer of the wess=side told
The Advertisers representative sever
al days ago that his corn only sverag-
ed about five bushels per acre this
wear when it should have been at least
35 bushels. Insects, imperfect stand
and unfavorable weather conditions,
all conspired against him and his et-
forts, Notwithstanding the fact that he
fertilized heavily and cultivated as
we'll az could be done under the cir
cumstances.
We expect to see bumper crop OF
corn in this county next year, much OF
it following grain.

CANAL REQUIRES MUCH POWDER
1t is estimated that only 1886, 800
pounds of dynamite will be required
for the canal work during the year
beginning July 1, 1912. Saltpeter
dynamite is specified, but bids will
be received on Trojan or similar
dynamite that can meet the require
ments of the work.
The amounts purchased in past
years were as follows: In 1907, $685.
900 pounds; 1908, 6,S22,OOO pounds;
1909, S,27O,OG0 pounds; 1910, 1O,4O3,-
800 pounds; 1911, 9,5O1,S5 pounds;
1912, S,533,OOO pounds. The compare
lively small amount estimated for the
forthcoming year is due to the ap-
preaching completion of the excava-
ton work, care being taken to avoid
an overstock.
The estimate for blasting materials
is as follows: Blasting caps, num-
Der, 32S,OOO; tape fuse, feet, $1,000;

SAM PARKER'S POI DEBASEO
TO THE LEVEL Of FISH GLUE

s. F. Examiner, June 6:-Poi, de-
lectable product of taro root and far
famed as Hawaii's national dish, suf
fored insult and ignominy at the Ho
tel Stewart yesterday.
Part of 100 pounds of the island
breakfast food, the property of Col
onel Samuel Parker, millionaire isl
ander and chancellor to the late King
Ealakaua, was ruthlessly smeared on
the walls of two high-priced apart
ments. Then, We gods of Hilo and
Honolulu, the sacred edible was blot
ted from view by wall paper and the
sacrilege was complete; poi had been
used as paste.
Deserted and Detained.
Once the paperhanger's fendish act
would have stirred the wrath of
Charles Warren Stoddard and Joseph
Strong, the author and the artist,
who, with pen and brush, wed in
clarifying everything from poi to sun
sets in the Paradise of the Pacific.
Alas, they are dead now and none
rises to defend.
Colonel Parker's too frequent ab-
sence from San Francisco has at last
brought disaster For years it has
been his custom while visiting San
Francisco, where he spends a great
deal of his time, to have regular
shipments of poi here from Homo
lulu. Usually it comes to him in sew
eral large tin buckets aggregating
fifty pounds per shipment.

Guests at the Stewart and the st.
Francis where the Colonel and his
Hawaiian friends are wont to alter
nate their breakfast repasts, have
frequently noticed the gigantic gray
haired Colonel leading the way to the
grill room with his small tin bucket
Of poi, which was his regular morn
ing relish.
Recently the ColoneTs time has
been severely taxed by pressing so
cial and political affairs that have
taken him from the city for exttnded
periods. Notwithstanding that fact,
Lis agents in Honolulu have cCntinu-
ed the shipments of poi. AS a result

Couldn't Give 1t Away.
Manager Stewart tried to give it
away, but it's popularity was limited
and it's consumption necessarily
small in the absence of Colonel Par
ker
A few days ago the steadily in
cieasing supply of poi at the Stewart
developed into a serious problem.
Manager Stewart wired to Colonel
Parker in Los Angeles, where he
was resting without his morning poi,
after the Shriners' conclave.
Telegram Is Misunderstood.
do as you please with it," was the
Coionels reply, meaning "do decently
with it as you please" The Colonel
never suspected sacrilege; it would
have wrenched his soul.
Just about this time, in a period Of
oyerhauling at the Stewart, c. w,
Green, chief clerk, learned from a
government pure food agent that poi,
thoroughly fermented, could be used
rs paste. The clerk later conveyed
this fact to Miss Belle Donegan, the
housekeeper, who in turn discussed
the matter with the hotels paper,
