n. G. Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special) )-That the
Boys Corn Club movement means q
great deal more to the South than
the average citizen has ever dreamed,
Is the conclusion presented in an in.

Der Of Commerce and manager Of the
Georgia State Corn Show, which Is
presented annually In the state capi-

I'VE are facing" says Mr.. Hastings.
'an era OF agricultural production such
as the world has never before wit
messed Every year since the first
corn club was organized, the move
ment has seen more than remarkable
growth. One years record has be-
come Insignificant when that OF the
next year doubled It; and by that, l
mean that many more boys have gone
into the work and have vastly in
creased results not only by their own
efforts, but through inspiration to IA
Tiers, brothers and neghbors until
millions Of dollars have already been
added to corn production in the South.
And yet this Is but forecast OF
what Is to come. There arc now be-
Ing organized as an outgrowth or the
corn Grub work, Three and Four-Crop
Clubs. The boys will plant oats and
coWpeas on their former corn acre.
thus d1versifying their crops and re-
neWing tho soil, while new acre will
be taken for corn cultivation. In some
sections cotton has been added to tho
list, on third acre, and the rour.

Another outgrowth Of the corn cIub
Is the Pig Club. Southern BOYS have

The person securing the larg-
est number Of votes will win the
piano, Of course, but we have
decided that the contestant Sc.
curing the second largest num-
ber of votes may have their
choice Of either the diamond
ring or the life time scholarship
in Draughon's Business College.
We believe this concession on
our part will meet with the ap-
proval Of all contestants, as it is
just as fair for one as for all.
The diamond ring is now on
exhibition at the Keowee Phar-
macy and, like the piano, must
be seen to be appreciated. 1t is
a beautiful piece Of jewelry and
is fully guaranteed.
FAIR, Square Deal.
This contest will be conducted
from start to finish in an abso-
fair and impartial manner. The
votes are kept in locked box
and cannot be handled by any
one except the Contest Manager.
A double check system is used,
which prevents any mistakes
being made. Moreover. each
contestant has coupon book
and after he or she has given
the subscriber one coupon as a
receipt for the money paid TO
the contestant and then turned
over to the Contest Manager the
money and a second coupon, of
the same serial number as the
subscribers receipt. there is left
a stub coupon, also of the same
number as the other two. This
stub coupon is the contestants
personal record of the transac-
ton. 1t shows the amount of
money taken in and consequent-
ly the number Of votes to which
the contestant is entitled. The
stub is the contestants personal
check on the Contest Manager.
Nothing could be fairer.
At the close of the contest
three reputable business men of
Pickens will be chosen to count
the votes, thus assuring a fair
count. Their decision will be
final and no one will have cause
for complaint.
Start in the contest at once. The
sooner the better. Your chance
to win one of the grand prizes is
as good as that Of any other.
So 90 after the prizes and you
will never regret it.
Send in a nomination coupon

l 900 votes as a starter. Then
we will send you a coupon book
and instructions as to how to
get. in this Fascinating contest.
1t costs nothing to enter the race
for these grand prizes, so it is a
great opportunity.

Solicitor FavOrS Dividing Circlit

Solicitor l.. A. BOnham, of
Greenville, has announced him.
self in favor of dividing the 9Th
judicial circuit, making Green
vile and Plckens counties one
and Anderson and Oconcc the
other. Mr.. Bonham returned TO
Greenville Saturday from An
dcrson, where he has been at
tending the six day session of
court in that city.
Plans which would relieve the
usual congested conditions of
the circuit court dockets have
for some time been agitated, and
Solicitor Bonham believes a di-
vision of the circuit is the only
logical solution Of the state Of
affairs. He cites the recent scs-
sion of court in Anderson as an
illustration of existing condi-
tions. He says out Of 105 Grim
inal cases on the docket only FIVE
mul der cases, one forgery case
and few pleas in jail cases
were taken up during the entire
week. No case brought over
from the last term Of court was
taken up, according to Solicitor
Bonham, and enough cases re-
mained on the docket at adjourn
ment TO occupy the attention of
the court three weeks longer.
The court of general sessions
convened in Greenville Monday
for a term Of two weeks, II
find 80 jail cases here for trial."
said Solicitor Bonham. Many
other cases, both old and new,
will come up, though, and there
is but little prospect Of any great
headway being made by the
court with such a heavy docket
to be handled" F"
Solicitor Bonham says there
are probably 100 cases in all to
be heard, not to mention the
number of appeals to be taken
