the oath to Mr. Scott and Hon.
Hal let 8. Ward to Mr. Warren, after
which the Judge, standing, asked the \
bar to rise while he received them (
into the bar. In a neat and brief |
address he charged them as to the (
profound meaning of the oaths which
they had just taken, taking oc* 1
caalon to say that the profession
which they had chosen to follow was
one capable of" broadening their '
scope of usefulness, and one in -which
a man might climb to lofty heights
of fame, a vocation that they might
help to elevate, or as their talents
might direct, prostitute.
To Mr. Warren he said that he
knew of no example more worthy of
emulation than that of hTs illustrious
father, 'the Hon. C. F. Warren, and 1
no-precepts to which he could look
for1--more dependable guidance.

fgmihently capable of carving for

proud of the fact that his first
judicial act was to admit to the bar

To the School Teachers of Beaufort
County?Greeting:
I am writing this to you by way
of remembrance, hoping to stir you
up in your pure minds lest at any
time you let slip the great oppor
tunity you have to reqjjer Beaufort
County and the State an everlasting
service.
You all know the government is
trying to co-operate with the Southern
farmers, bringing to them
through its demonstration methodB
certain well regulated time and tried
principles that, If followed, will
greatly increase the yield of corn per
acre at a 8mail 1 cost per bushel.
The boys corn club work is being
fostered by the county, stato and
government through Its co-operative
agencies. And we want every
boy In Beaufort county between the
ages of 12 and 18 years old, who can
be enlisted to enter the boys corn
club contest and grow an acre of
corn this year. And you school
teachers can aid us greatly in enlisting
the hoys in this corn club work,
f you will manifest the interest iu
the work that you Should and talk
corn club work without ceasing you,
can enlist a goodly number You
can tell the boys In your school that,
a boy in Pantego township last year
(1911) made 94 bushels of corn on
an acre and received a cosh premium
Df $20. One boy in Bath township
tnade 84 bushels and received a cash,
premium of $20; and one boy HF
Washington township made 62 bushels
and received a cashxpremium of
$15. There were thirteen boys in the
county last year who made good on
corn, and each received a premium.
You may say further that I a/h in
possession of information from several
sources of many valuable premiums
to be given to the successful
boya thin year. There are still others
who we expect will offer premiums
ttot yet arranged for, but will be in a
few days, and then we shall publish
