SccOnd-Many Winners in Con-
tests.

The winning of the prizes for the
best individual farm exhibit was the
chief feature attached to the farm
products exhibits. Mr.. s. j. White
of Concord, who had about one hum
dred and fifty different varieties of
products raised on his farm was CIV
EN- first place. Mr.. White Is one Of
the hustling farmers Of the county
and the excellence Of his exhibit Gre
ated a great deal of interest and ia
vorable comment on the diversity of
his farming. He is one of the farm
ers of Sdmter county who can live
whether the boil weevil comes or
not for he does not depend solely on
cotton, as so many farmers do.
The second place was given Mr.. T.
.. DuBose, another hustling young
farmer. Mr.. DuBOse lives in the
Mechanicsville section Of the county
and is we'll known for his energy and
up-to-date methods.
The third place was given F. w.
Andrews Of Oswego, whose booth was
attractively and uniquely designed,
and whose exhibits were very pleas
ing. There were quite a number of
other farmers who made most cred
liable exhibits. but the judges decid-
ed that their products and display
were not sufficiently good to win one
of the three places for which prizes
were offered.
