Aggie Barbecue To Be Annual
Affair; Many Counties on Hand
Occasion Marks Beginning of Fall Term at School
—All of Faculty but One Present
To Greet Public
The barbecue yesterday at Third
District Agricultural and Mechanical:
college was the second to be served
in tne pretty grove adjoining tile
campus, but herefater it is to tie
an annual affair, according to Prin
cipal John M. France and Crawford
Wheatley, treasurer and trustee from J
Sumter county. W hen the fhird Ag
gie school was instituted at Amen-j
cus, the occasion was marked by a
big barbecue, but the attendance
was no larger than that of yesterday,
nor was more congeniality and cor
diality displayed.
dim Glawson, Sumter’s famous cue
chef, prepared the four pigs and
small steer which furnished the feast,
for tne more than 500 guests-—all of
them friends of the institution and
its taculty, including 50 or more
former students of the institution
who returned to their alma mater
with joy unalloyed. Fifteen gallons
of Brunswick stew was served, and|
there was enough left for all of the’
darkies who assisted.
Guests were present from almost
every county in the Third agricul
tural district, though, with the ex-j
ception of Sumter, it is probable that'
•ferrell had the largest delegation
present. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Mc-
Lendon, J. V. Smith, Lucius McLen
don, Mr. and Mrs. John Simmons,
John Simmons and Len Simmons,;
John Wall, Clarence McLendon, Mar-j
vin King, and others wete present
from Terrell, while Telfair probably!
was a close second in point of at-:
tendance. Telfair people present
included Den J. Walker, James John-j
son, William Brophy, Jack Webb, Vir-I
gil Thomas and Henry Yawn. Too;
many Sumter county people were;
there to attempt to name them all,
but among the out-of-counly guests
attending besides those already men
tioned, were: Mercer Downs, Jr., of
Talyor county; Robert Johnson, of
Pheonix, Ala.; Harvard Sale, of
Wilkes county; Charles R. McKinnon,
of Quitman county; Miss Mary Jor
dan, of Schley; Mrs. J. L. Moran,

There Is more Catarrh In this section
sf the country than all other diseases
put together, and tor years it was sup
posed to be Incurable. Doctors prescribed
focal remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
tt incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con
ations and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medi
