Better Seeds ? Better Crops
To T^e Cotton Growers of Polk
County.
We are all somewhat at sea
relative to growing cotton un- i
der boll weevil conditions in .
this county. Some of us have
had better opportunities ^ to
study the weevil and how tc
deaf with him than others:
and The Good Book tells us
"That in a Multitude of Coun
selors there is Safety." there
fore I ask the Cotton growers
| of Greens Creek Township to
I meet at the following time?*
and places to discuss what and
!)0\v to do about our cotton j
cron this year. Green Rivei ?

ONE OUT OF A THOUSAND. |
Here is the most interesting
incident to my mind that has
happened during our Bettei
Biscuit Campaign in Polk Co
The Board of Education offered
| to the school that would enroll
! the highest per cent of its girls
above ten years of age. A set
I of valuable maps.
These girls were to comply
with the rules of the contest
which was to bake biscuits five
times and bring to school to be
| judged by the teacher. There
is a ten year old child, Eliza
Ibeth Anderson, who lives on a
I farm three miles out from
Columbus. She came to school
ione morning on the day when
i biscuits were to be baked,
'brought in and judged. bhe
was asked by her teacher were
her biscuits were? She replied
that she did not know it was
judging day: and asked per
mission to return to her home
and make the biscuits and
have them judged. Her re
quest was granted and four
hours later she returned with
her required number of bis
cuits, well made and baked,
having walked to her home and
returned, making in all four
trips over three miles of rough
country road, making in all 12
miles traveled by her dun^n#
the day. Most all the girls w
almost all schools in the county
have shown decided interest* in
the Better Biscuit- Campaign;
Elizabeth deserves special men
itionfor 'her untiring energy and
spirit of cooperation with hei
teacher, in order to procure the
'maps for the school. ?
It may be of interest to some
to know that this little girl is
the great-grand daughter of
Mr. J. R. Sams, Farm agent,
i In her we see his spirit of co
operation and untiring energy
I repeated, or in other words, a

Humor and Pathos Mark
Recital at Library
With a clearness of speech
and complete absence of affec
tion; Mrs. Jane Screven Hey
ward, noted dialect readed, en
tertained a large audience at
the Library Tuesday night.
Following a brief introduc
tion by Dr. Allen J. Jervey on
behalf of the Lanier Club, un
der whose auspicies Mrs. He*y
ward came to Tr.yon, Mrs. Hey
ward began a- series of anec
dotes in the diallect of Gulfah
Negro. The stories, practially
all in verse, were based on real
incidents occuring in the life oJ
Mrs. Hey wards old Negrc
"mamma," "Mum Sinai" and
referred back to the pre-wai
days giving character sketches
of the early '60 s.
The readings and recitations
opened the eyes of many in the
audience to the real affection
and relationship between the
two races, white and black.
Although filled with humor
throughout there was an un
dercurrent of pathos ^discern
able in many of the anecdotes.
Jane Screven Hay ward is the
mother of Dubose Hayward, of
Charleston, who recently carv
his nich in the Hall of Fame
through the medium of his po
etry which is being widely read
and which is creating much fa
vorable comment.
Mrs. Hayward is a native
Charlestonian and has made
an exhaustive study of the
manners and dialects of the ne
groes of that vicinity. The
dialect of the Gullah negroes is
accorded to be one of the most
difficult dialect of the English
language to master. -
