Handsome Prize Offered.

The Tri- County Agricultural
Fair Association offer S100 90
for the best collection and agri-
cultural display off of one farm
during the coming fair. This
prize will bring OUT q large num-
Der Of exhibitors we hope, as
the county can furnish as good a
display as can be gotten together
any where in the South. Here
tofore there has been splendid
collections by a few of our lead
ing farmers but the interest in
these exhibits has not been as
general as it should be. The
prize offer of $4,000 is worth
making an effort to secure and
in order that you may be able to
contest it will be necessary to
begin now to get things ready.
Everything grown on the farm,
in the garden and orchard, count,
and the list than can be gather
ed from these three sources will
surprise many who have never
undertaken such collection.

ing program of music, essays,
orations and the baccalureate
address. The Commencement
sermon was preached in the

cal ethics and governmental at

sphere in which they may find
tn mselyes.
The session has been one OF
marked success and the faculty
is dae every commendation for
tqe untiring zeal and effort put

noon, May %.
Meeting opened with prayer
by chaplain. Roll called and
minutes read.
After a business session, the
usual program was dispensed with
to enjoy an hour spent in a very
interesting lecture at the city
hall given by Miss Jennie Worth

travelled extensively and showed
stereoptical views of places of
interest in her travels abroad.
Mrs. Finley served delicious
Refreshments. We adjourned to
meet next with Miss Mary Agnes

at 4 o'clock.
Our CHAPTER has been accepted
by the National Board and is the
largest ever organized in the
State in point of membership. At
the recent National congress IN
Washington, Mrs. Scott, presi-
dent-general, spoke with fervor
of current misconception of the
purpose of the organization of
which she is leader, saying:
Ladies. ! regret to state that
there are people in this land
who still persist in still mis-
understanding our purposes.
There are those who, in spite of
all the evidence to the contrary,
decline to see in US anything but
a mutual admiration society for
the promotion Of pink teas and
ancestor worship. To them our
Chapter meetings IS we'll as our
State conferences and National
congresses seem to be mere in
consequential gatherings of a
semi-social nature. for the pur-
pose of reading the minutes of
the last meeting and electing Of
ficers for forthcoming ones. To
them our patriotic principles and
efforts are merely a cloak to hide
our real purpose, namely, the
furthering of the paltry, tawdry
ambition of the alert among US,
to gain admission to the social
citadels of the elite. What a
fatuous and fimsy traversty up
on our unrivaled society is this
nightmare of the destructive inn
agination? But the real purpose
and aim is. ITO perpetuate the
memory of the spirit of the men
and women who achieved Amer
lean Independence by the en-
couragement of historical re-
search in relation to the revolu-
ton, by the preservation Of doc
uments and relics, and the rec
ords of the individual services of
revolutionary soldiers and patri-
OTIS. and by the formation of cele-
brations of all patriotic anniver-
saries, to cherish, maintain and
extend the institutions of Amer
lean freedom. to foster true pa
triotism and love of country, and
to aid in securing for mankind
all the blessings of liberty. Lo-
