The Pickens county corn show
was we'll attended Saturday and
Cnere was much interest.
Mr.. Barton, Of Clemson Col.
lege, lectured and acted as Judge.
lncre were twentynine ten
ear exhibits-2s from the bova'
club and four from the mon'a
club-and some fine corn was
among the lot. Besides his ten
ear exhibit, Oils Sutherland Of
Dacusfille, had on exhibition
five ears of corn which grew On
one stalk.
There were more exhibits ana
reports sent in and moro interest
taken this year than ever before
and Pickens county Is On it's
way to the top as corn grow
ing county.
Getready now to join the 1914
club.
There were several men in the
county who had prize acres of
corn, but who failed to enroll or
failed to comply with the rules
of the club, who made large
yields.
The largest yield we have
heard Of in this county was
made by j. Harvey Chapman.
OF theiSix Mile section, and was
4fo nuSllSIS OH one acre. at a
cost OF is cents per bushel. Mr..
Chapman states that he can
beat this and will make an Of
fort to do 1t next year. A. Jack
Sentcll, who farms on the same
place. with Mr.. Chapman, states
that he made 100 bushels on one
acre at l6 cents q bushel. Mr..
Sentcll says that Mr.. Chapman
was enabled N get larger Weld
by using bar 'Ngmanure and
putting his c, AfcRer.
1t seems tn ,the men of the
Six Mile section had club of
their own, and this is highly
commendahle. Every school
district should have a corn and
tomato club.
Banks which contributed mon
eY for the prizes were the Pick

3a JOnn U. Anderson OF Rock Hill,
saSfather Of the crock Hill Plan" for
down the acreage Of cotton
planted throughout the South two
years ago, fears that with the high
price %, cotton this year there will
be q tendency, to plant too much cot.

plan ought to BE adopted to keep
down the acreage.
II In letter to Commissioner of Agri.

the Southern Cotton Congress, Mr.. An.

thing ought to be done another year
to keep the farmers from planting

AS to Marketing Meal.
A suggestion that manufacturers OF
meal have the date Of the fnanufac.
ture stamped on the sacks which
came to Commissioner Watson from
a firm In Augusta, Ca, may be put
into effect, said MI. Watson recently.
The Georgia firm in writing to Mr..
Watson said:
"Appreciating what you have done
for the people Of Carolina as we'll as
the manufacturers and merchants in
the line Of action as adopted by you
q - w 'Aoouob CopoCIdlly IuSdl, we want
to suggest to you another feature that
we think will add very much to what
you have already done and that is to
have the manufacturetrs OF all meal
made In Carolina and coming into
Carolina to have the date Of manu-.
facture stamped on che sack. We
nave adopted this policy, and find that
1t works beautifully. Our trouble has
been that merchant that might have
meal that has been on hand some time
and being anxious to get rid of it, will
cut the price on 1t and demoralize the
market They should not buy more
than they can sell, as it is the old
meal that causes the trouble especially
when 1t is made out of green corn.

BELIEVE DESPERATE
ESCAPED DEADLY GAS
Utah Posse Continues to Smudge Mine
Which Is Meant to Be the Tomb
Of Slayer of Six Men.

Bingham, Utah, Dec. 4.-The smudg-
ing of the Utah-ADex, IN which Ralph
Lopez, slayer of six men, took refuge
Just a week ago, continued today with
the likelihood that not until tomorrow
would the fires be allowed to die down.
The belief grew today that the des-
perado had escaped from the mine, which
was meant to be his tomb. Odds mar
rowed from to 1 to even money that
he had not succumbed to the poisonous
gases that have been generated in the
80 miles of subterranean workings since
Monday.
The pursuit of Lopez began November
q, after he had killed fellow country
man. The chief of police and four deputy
sheriffs have since fallen before his dead
" aim.
The sheriffs of nine counties and Two
former sheriffs are directing operations
in the effort to capture Lopez.
