BOYS CORN CLUB.
Thirty-Nine Boys Attend Meeting and
Organize-SeYeral Gentlemen
Address the Boys.

The Newberry boys corn club met
in the court house on Friday a. 10
o'clock. County Superintendent Of
Education E. H. Aull, who is chairman
of the club, undertook to come from
Columbia Friday morning in an auto
mobile with Commissioner Watson,
! leaving Columbia before 6 o'clock in
the morning and expecting to arrive
in Newberry before the meeting of the
club. In the party with Mr.. Aull and
Mr.. Watson were Mr.. George H. Stew
enson, secretary and general manager
of the National corn show, and Mr.. A.
C. Smith, of the Federal department
of agriculture The car was driven by
Mr.. Alex McDougall, of Commissioner
Watsons department. The trip to Sa-
luda river, about 19 miles from Column
bia, was made without trouble. and
the river crossed before o'clock, but
from the river to Chaplin, distance
of only eight miles, the road was
practically impossible in several
places. The car had to be pulled out
of the mud three times in this distance
and as result the party arrived at
Chaplin at about II o'clock. The road
from Chaplin to NeWberry is not as
good as it should be, but SO much bet,
ter than the eight mile stretch of the
Lexington road just menuoAed, that
in comparison, it seemed very good
road. The party arrived in Newberry
about 1 o'clock
Mr.. S. M. Duncan, demonstration
agent, took charge of the boys and the
club was organized by the election Of
Marvin Wilson, president; Thomas
Hayes, vice president; William Wendt,
secretary, and John Herbert, treasurer
Prof. j. N. Harper, of Clemson COL
lege, and Mr.. C. B. Haddon, of Glenn
son college, were present and address
ed the boys along lines that will be
helpful to them. Mr.. S. NJ. Duncan
gave them few words of encourage
ment and President B. C. Matthews, of
the National bank, also spoke to the
boys. The gentlemen from Columbia,
of course, were too late to give the
boys talk. Mr.. Stevenson promises
to send some literature to the boys
explaining how they may enter the
boys contest at the National exposi-
ton and also become members of the
training school which is to be con-
Quoted for one week during the Ma
tional exposition.
There are now ffty-eight members
of the club and no more will be en-
rolled. Thirty-nine of these boys we're
present at the meeting on Friday. The
two additional members who have
been added since the list was publish
ed are John Earl Smith and Bryan
Smith, of Kinards.
