We notice in last weeks paper that
Prof. D. l.. Widaman was candi-
date for Superintendent George D.
Browns place We, as community,
were very much impressed by this an
nouncement and believe he will be
good man for the work. He is a.
present principal of the Hunter-Re-
Walt school, one of the best country
schools in the State. He is no poll
tician whatever. But is fully compe-
tent to fill the place. Therefore, we,
as a community, knowing him as We
do, do hereby heartily endorse him.
Mr.. Wedaman is a graduate of New
berry college, having finished in 1900,
and is noways rusty in educatlonal
work.

and training.
Oats and wr:eat are as general rule
very sorry around here, and it looks
as if the harvesting time will not oe
much. The greater part of it is not
locking we'll enough to apply top
dressing to it. The wheat looks bett2r
than oats.
Some corn mas been planted, ami
most of tie farmers have their land
well prepared and are ready for plant
ing.
Early gardening has begun. The
fertilizer will be used only on small
scale, and some will not use any. Cot
ton will be cut one-third or more ABOUT
here and a lot of land planted to corn
and pease and other stuffs.
