Attend The Corn Exposition.

The great National Corn Exposition
opened in Colum bia Monday morn

der how many Ed gefeld county far

Der WILL run well up into the hun
dreds. 1t is not probable that an
other national corn exposition will
be held near us again soon, as there
are so many large cities of the for
ty-odd states bidding for it annual
ly. We would not have had it now
in South Carolina had it not been
for Jerry Moore's remarkable
achievement. Go over to Co.
lumbia this week or next. Not
only go once but go twice or three
times if possible. 1t is not simply
an exhibition of corn but there are
dozens of experts on hand from the
national government and from at
least half of the states who are pre-
senting from an expert and scientl-
fc standpoint every phase and form
of agricultural life. 1t is therefore
as much farmers institute as it is
q corn exposition, very probably
more so. The wide-awake, ambitious
farmer will not have to be urged to
improve such an opportunity.

Our hearts were saddened bv the
news that the sister of one of our
cadets had passed away several days
ago. The loss was suffered by the
family of Cadet Bryan Hutto of
Perry and the deceased was Miss
Christine Hutto.
Miss Jennie Holley is visiting her
sister Mrs. J. F. Entzminger.
Miss Ethel Black of Bamberg

visit to the presidents family. She

A new student has arrived from
the fair state of Florida. Cadet
Lewis Kilgore of Orlando reached
the college Monday night. He ex-
poets to enter the sophomore class.
He is a brother of one of the boys
now in school.
Our community is surely being
stirred by the earnest, forceful and
soul-reaching sermons of DR.. Vines.
The students have given him their
most hearty support, at nearly 1t
not all the meetings some cadets
and college girls being present.
From the first the boys were inter
ested and went again and again to
hear Dr.. Vines. Considerable visi-
ble fruit has been reaped, fourteen
cadets and six girls having announc-
ed their decision for Christ and ap-
plying for baptism and member
ship into the various churches of
the town. Scores of cadets and girls
have requested special prayer. The
effect in the barracks is most graft
flying also. The very atmosphere
seems to be saturated with Chris
tian spirit. Cadets who used to talk
lightly about God and his church,
now are sober and walk around
With determined look on their
faces to lead a better life. Surely
revival, great revival, is in our
midst.
