Phenix Furniture backs county corn contest with cash prizes
The Phenix Furniture Company offers 50 gold dollars to the farmer who grows the best acre of corn in Georgetown county, with 35 for first, 10 for second, and 5 for third. The note praises agricultural progress, urges wider participation, and highlights soil value and local prosperity. It references regional debates on waters, inks, and a Payne bill in Congress.
