Mount Holly, N. C. to begin work on the ~ proposed line from that point south, to c connect at Greenville. There are about a dozen surveyors in the party, which is un- ? W der the direction of Mr. W. E. Lee of An- 11 B derson. 0 ji The work on the line from Belton to c Greenville has just been completed, the ? side-staking having been linished a few \ days ago, and all is readv now for the " K awarding of the contract for begining the ? o?oHintr nnrl lavinir the tracks. It is be lieved that this will be commenced within the near future, now that Mr. W. S. Lee, who is so closely associated with the Messrs Duke, is at home from abroad. There was a rumer current here today i to the effect that while no bids have yet been asked for the construction of the line several voluntary bids, made by large c construction concerns, have already been t submitted. If this be true, it would seem to indicate that the iine is soon to be com- t f menced; and once begun that it would 1 \ soon be opened. j The route of the proposed lino out of Mount Holly, N. C., this way, will be by way of Gastonia and Kings Mountain, r both in North Carolina. The corps of f 2? surveyors will break camp at Greenville v Wednesday and go to Mount Holly to beH. gin the work at once, it is understood. |3$ f ?f W Clemson Extension Work?Article c I XXI1* f Realizing the need of industrial educaI tion, the State Board placed the subject of 1 a agriculture in the public school curriculum f P The good to be derived from this step cannot, at this early date.be estimated. The J average child, when it entersechool. knows more about agriculture than auy other profession, and most of them go back to this calling when they have finished the 1 public school course and the sad part is, ] they go back better fitted to carry on their work then when they entered school. They have their minds filled with facts about almost every conceivable subject the ex- i cept the important one, the one by which j | they are to deiive a living. *! Tho intarnct in the toju-hirc nf nfrricill Lture is but a part of a much larger question, the movement for teaching by means | of things that have come within the stud- i ^ eut's experience, and for teaching some) thing that wiJi be of some material use to the student when school days are over. Unt less our education is of some pratical use. , time is ill spent in obtaining it. p When the subject was placed in the pub- J lie school course, very few of tho teachers : were prepared to tcach it since their train- ( ing had not included it. Realizing the state of affairs, the trustees of Cleuison College created the position of Rural * School Agriculturist. The work of this 1 position is to assist the teacher in any way f t possible in presenting tho subject of agri- , culture to the pupil. This is done by co- ' operating with tho teacher, visiting the | ! school at regular intervals, ami giving help j by suggastions or any other way by which the subject may be presented to the pupil in a helpful manner. The plan at present is to select a few schools in different sections of the state, and visit each of these v j once a month, staying a day or two days if ' necessary and work with both teacher and l pupils. It will not be possible for one man to work with all the state, but by working a with as many as possible iu different sections, othere may profit by the work of those visited. Since the principal thing ? I Skills 9 $4 to 5IU Philson & Hen: ? Where the F Q fc I n teaching is to keep the pupil interested for if we can keep the interest up, tne proess of obtaining the knowledge will follow iaturally,) the visits to the schools will e to work with the pupils as the teacher. This work with the pupil will be of diliernt nature as circumstances dilTer. With iome, clubs of an agricultural nature will >e organized and prizes awarded. With ithors contests of different nature will be riven, as for instance, corn judging conests. With still others, reading courses rill be given, and essays written by the >upll on agricultnral subjects. The underlying reason why snch teachng is desirable is becauss it brings tho chool in touch with the home life. As Mr. Varrcn of Cornel says, "The teaching of igrieulture will make better farmers, who rill make more money," and it is only by his meaus that we can build up our schools ind make our country life what it should >e?the most pleasant, profitable, and inlependent of all lives. Since it will not be possible, as above tated, to visit all the schools of the state, t will be necessary for the teacher, or any >ne interested, to make application for the t'ork. This can be done by writing tho Superintendent of the Extension Work, !lemson College, 8. C., as this work is lirectly under the Extension Division. C. B. Haddon, Rural School Agriculturist.

Preachers and other moral speakers frequently remind their hearers of the responsibility that rests upon each of us in giving to the world a good or a bad example of conduct. We have a case in point that forcibly illustrates the power of example. A mighty good man at Due West is said to set aside annually a specified sum which he designates as the Lord's money. He, so the story goes, keeps the Lord's money in a box separate from his own money, which box lie designates as the "Lord's box." Whenever moved by the Holy Spirit to yield to the appeal of charity or whenever he feels it incumbent on him to make financial contributions according to the demands or the needs of the Lord, he simply goes to that box and complies with that demand by turning over the required conscience money. Accounting himself as only the agent of his Lord, he is always glad to answer appeals for charity, whether at home or abroad? whether to relieve a church or to do good in any other way. The above statements are believed to be facts. Now for the influence of that good mau's act, which may lie far reaching. For instance: At Abbeville there is a follower of this good man's example. Not so long ago he "saw" that pious brother's "Lord's box," and went ''one bettor" by opening a "missionary box" to which box the aforesaid citizen goes for a little money as occasion may arise. The origin of this box was somewhat in this way: The citizen had been for several years giving several dollars for missions. Learning of the extravagant way in which the trusted church officials dispensed it. and failing to sec or to hear of any good that came from the distribution of that fund, j he cut off contributions for that purpose! and by opening tin; "missionary bo\*'j into which other church money was deposited, he, like the good man at l)uej West, often has a littlo money to give in I charity or to answer calls which need answer.

When Spiritualism was comparatively now and we were youngsters, wo used t? hear delightful fpoofcy stories about mysterious actions of furniture anil thingi which one never seems to hear nowadays. I remember one about somo peoplo who hud guests invited to a grand dinner. The tablo was spread with ail the dishes, but the meal had not yet lx;en served. The family had a groat store of beautiful glass and china, and it was all on the tablo. For a moment tho servants wero all out of the dining room, and just at that moment all the people in tho rest of tho house heard a deafening crash of falling dishes. From tho dining room there camo the Bound of glassware precipitated upon the floor and crushing into fragments, and in tho midst of the roar of this wreck there rose to tho terrified ears of the host and hostess the high, clear note of the smaah-! Ing of much thin china. Everybody in tho house?family, guests, servants?rushed to the dining room door at tho same moment, expecting to boo nothing loss than tho tablo overthrown and even: precious dish on it broken. And what did they behold? Tho tablo set in perfect order, with not a thing on it dis-1 A. U**A ihn ntr-Tnl pmchf VlU'Utll. M 1IUU ilfiVi. IIIUIIV lliiw ? .? * v.. Nobody ever knew. Not a dish wns cvod j nickcd in that house tliutday. The spirits,! so tho story ran to us, had just made a terrible ghostly crash for tho fun of it and j the alarm of the household. I remember that this 6tory impressed nie a great deal more than it would have impressed me if the dishes had really been j found smashed, though it could have been pro\ed that no human being had been in tho room nt the time. I had never before ! heard of a ghost that was a crash and. nothing more. I fancy tho astonishment j of thoso alleged people was not greatel j than that of a friend of mine over an epi-, sodo not at all similar. This gentleman'i wife and daughter wcro out shopping on? afternoon, and he reached homo ahead oi them. So far from feeling grieved and outraged at not finding thom thcro to make him welcome, ho set to work pleas-; antly to givo them a surprise by getting them their supper. Ho hadn't much in the house, but ho set out what ho had and placed on each of three plates a nice lot ol sardines and then went out to make them tea. He got it made and came back and looked at his table in astonishment. Hil Bupper was gone! The plates were therfl ! just where ho had placed them, but they wcro as clean as when ho put them on. He knew that thero was not another human being in the house. What sprito had wafted away thoso sardines? This is n true storv. There was not an I other human being in tho house, but th< gentleman owned two delightful cockei spaniels, and they were in tho house. Who can doubt that, as they licked the platel which had contained tho sardines, they j had liaid to themselves: "Goto.

General Grant, yoi a know, wanted to change tliu course rrf the I river by cutting n channel through D# tlu Soto peninsula, thus cutting off tbe upper 0,1 bend and causing tho river to flow straight ^ across below Vicksburg and leading the town high and dry.
