Richmond Electric Company
Lowest Bidder on Install

North Ninth Street.
OTHER FIRMS BID
Board Favors Gracefully
Constructed Standards Not
to Exceed Fourteen Feet
in Height.

Bids for installing an ornamental
lighting system on North Ninth street,
between Main and North A streets.
were received by the board Of public
works today.
While there were several bidders,
only two Of them. both Richmond con-
Germs complied with the terms Of the
advertisement by bidding on install
ing the system as well as furnishing
the standards and lamps. These two
concerns we're the Richmond Electric
company and the Craighead Plumb
ing and Electric company. The
contract will probably be awarded to
the Richmond Electric company. 1t
was low on bids for both magnetic
and nitrogen lamps. The bids Of the
two local companies were:
Richmond Electric; Cutter ornamen-
tai standards (thriteen) and magnetic
lamps, $1.758.
One thousand candlepower nitrogen
lamps and Cutter standards, General
Electric tops, $1,442.50.
one CnOuSan0 can0lepOWer nitrogen
lamps, Cutter standards and tops,
$1,434.13.
Craighead company; thirteen stand
ards and magnetic lamps, $2,296.
Thirteen standards and nitrogen
lamps, $1,S96. -
After the bids had been read the
board discussed for some time the
type of standard and the type of lamp
to be used. The board favors a slight,
gracefully constructed standard Of
moderate heighth, not to exceed four
teen feet, and the nitrogen lamp. The
property owners also appear to IA
vor such system. The contract will
probably be awarded this afternoon
or tomorrow as the property owners
want the lights installed as soon as
possible. It ID hoped to have the ,sys-

PiCkens School Ends Session

The Pickens High school closed
q very successful session last
Wednesday evening with appro-
pirate exercises in the school
auditorium. Seven young ladies
and five young men received
diplomas. The large auditorium
was crowded and many were
unable to get in. The exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev.
ID. w. Hiott. The duets, sung
by Miss Booker and Mrs. Melton,
were greatly enjoyed by all. The
girls and boys who took part in
the exercises deserve heartiest
congratulations. A hadsomely
bound volume of Henry Tim
rods poems, given by the u. d.

Of Interest to Our Farmers

II We are publishing below q
letter which we believe WILDE OF
H great interest to the farmers OF
Pickens county. We are more
than glad to give space to this
letter because we believe it will
| be Of benefit to our readers, most
of whom are farmers--the men
who feed the world. Clemson
college could be of more benefit
to the people if the people them
selves would only take advantage
of the opportunities the college
offers. Every farmer who uses
fertilizer contributes to the main
tenance of Clemson college and
it is up to our farmers to get
more benefit from this institu.
ton. The farmers of Pickens,
Oconee and Anderson counties
have better chance to benefit
from it than the people of any
other county, because the college
is located in these three counties
and therefore easy for our peo-
pie to visit. The following letter
is self-explanatory:
Editor Pickens Sentinel: We
believe that the location of Glenn
son college in the corner made
by the intersection of Anderson,
Oconee and Pickens counties
ought to make the college es-
pecially valuable as a source Of
help and information to the
farmers of these three counties.
Many of them, it is true, take
advantage of these opportunities
frequently, but the majority of
the farmers of Anderson, Oconee
and Pic1ens are practically
strangers at the agricultural
college.
1 can understand some Of the
reasons for this. The farmers
know this is q big institution
and most of them would be un-
certain as to where to 20 for
their help and information after
they reached the college. More
over, they do not know a. great
many Of the people here.
1t is my opinion that the farm
ers of the three home counties
of Clemson College should make
proper use of the opportunities
lying at their doors ard should
make it a point to use the re-
sourses of this institution when
ever they need them.
Accordingly, I have advised
our farm demonstration agents
in Anderson, Oconee and Pick
ems counties to set aside one day
in each month, on which day
they are to come to Clemson
College and bring with them all
farmers who may desire to come.
These county agents, two of
whom are graduates Of Clemson
) and the other of whom is fa-
miliar with conditions here, will
| be able to conduct the farmers
; about the college, pointing out
to them various experiments
and taking them to the proper
I places to get the information
they may desire. All farmers
who have problems they desire
solved for them should try to
come with their county agent on
these monthly visits to Clemson
: College. DR.. Riggs will be very
glad to furnish dinner to the
farmers at the small cost of 25
cents each.
| should be glad to have you
5 publish this letter i'm order that
those farmers who are readers of
5 your paper may be advised of
5 this plan. Respectfully,
t w. w. LONG,
/, State Agent and Director of
