There's a paint education in thi

Buy by the job, rot gallon Buy

The price of paint is so much a

amounts to nothing.
The price Of painting is so much

Put them together. How can You

Devoe, 10 gallons enough for the
average Job; an average paint, ID.
Now reckon your costs. Count labor
a day for gallon. Devoe 10 days;

Devoe about 500; the average
paint about $40 or so; the dearel

GREENWOOD BOOSTERS.
Merry Party Boost Greenwood's
Horse Show and Chautauqua.
Visited Edeefield in Forty
Automobiles.

Greenwood is to have a horse
show April 20, 80 and May /, and
also a cbautauqua from May IL to
ls. As means of advertising
these events, the people of Green
wood decided to make tour of the
country within radius of 80 miles.
About ten days ago they visited
Ahbeville, Anderson, Laurens and
other places boosting their show
and Chautauqua, and last Friday
they made tour south of Green,
wood. The party consisted OF AZ
automobiles which carried about.
I6O people, 90 Of whom were la
dies. They left Greenwood at $3.50
o'clock and came down the Charles
ton and Western Carolina railroad,
visiting Bradley. Troy, Mccormick,
Plum Branch. Parksvill= and Mo-
doc. From the latter place they
came to Edgefeld, reaching this
place at 1880. Representatives
from Edgefeld went out in about a
dozen automobiles to meet the
Greenwood boosters.
Soon after arriving an informal
meeting was held in the court
house, Mayor J. G. Edwards pre-
siding. Ex.Gov. John G. Shep-
ard deli7ered brief address of
welcome to the representatives of
the daughter county. A fitting
response was made by Hon. w. IL.
Nicholson of Greenwood who was a
member of the party. The meet
ing then adjourned for tie visitors
to partake of an elegant barbecue
and picnic dinner which the ladies
OF the Ba otist church served on
long table near the court house.
The boosters brought brass band
of IA pieces along with them and
several selections were rendered
while they were here.
!. Tlra! party was under the iminef-. impli1lef
Z ; Z, :.
shall, The secretary OF the. Green
wood Chamber of Commerce. The
hour ana half that was spent here
was very pleasant for the visitors
and for our people. 1t gave an OPP
portunitv for friends who had not
seen each other in several years
to exchange greetings and engage
in pleasant conversation. The COM
ing OF the Greenwood :rlenos
strengthened the ties that have
always existed between Edgetield
and her daughter, Greenwood, the
majority of whose population were
originally from the old county.
The boosters left about three
n'clock for Johnston and thence by
:aluda and Ninety Six to Green
wood. Up to the time they reached
,dgetield there had been practically
no accident to mar the trip. They
reported the roads to be very good
in the man. Supervisor Edmunds
went over portion of the road
which the party Travelled in this
county and repaired the worst
places.

Rich Soils are of First lmpor'
tance in Making Good Crops.

If the friend who good naturediy
chides us for understanding the I'M
portance Of carefully selected seeds
and of thorough preparation and
good cultivation of the soil, in what
he terms our zeal in urging the
improvement of our SOILS" will
try the following experiment be
will be convinced of the Importance
of a fertile soil, and will probably
get our point OF view.
Let him. take two fields, one rich,
or producing an average of 80
bushels of corn per acre, and the
other poor, or producing an aver
age of l5 bushels per acre. Let
him plow and prepare the poor
field the best he can, with the best
team and the best implements pos
sible to obtain. Let him put all
the intelligence of his trained white
brain ir to the selection Of seed, the
planting5ap1 the ealtiVsting ofstt1e / le
crop OH euis poor acre. =.
In charge of the rich field let
him put the most ignorant Negro,
with an SOO-pound mule and moth
|! ing but a one-horse turning plow
and 4 hoe with which to prepare
and cultivate the crop. Also let
this same ignorant Negro go 'to the
crib and get his seed corn from the
nnbbins left there by planting time
and plant this seed in his own pri-
mitive way. When harvest time
comes his poor field, with all his
intelligence, his improved impIe-
ments and his carefully selected
seed, will not have produced more
than one-half the crop of the rich
or fertile field, although this fertile
field has for the year been cultiva-
ted by the most primitive agricul-
t:ral methods and by the most l@-
norant farmer. Does anyone be-
lieve that the results will not be as
we have indicated: Why, then,
should we not place a rich soil
above everything else, when it more
than compensates for all other de-
sirable practices and methods com.
bined? 1t is not that thorough
preparation, choice seeds and good
cultivation are unimportant, they are
tremendously important-bnt that
all these things and all others de-
sirab.e are not able to make poor
soil grow large crop. a rich soil,
while it lass, is proof against poor
farming and bad seasons, while
poor soil means poor crop regard
less of So us or how it is cultiva.
ted. {. are .he reasons why we
sire .Jh all the force we can
tn .portance Of rich soil; but
Ientally there is another reason,
) out1ern soils are so easily, quickly
and cheaply improved, without the
loss of single regular or money
crop, that it is a shame to allow
them TO remain poor, when lncreas-
ed yields per acre mean so much.
