Liberal contracts made for thrw, six, and twelve months WEDNESDAY. JULY 22, 1903. Every farmer in the county should attend the Farmers' Institute to be held at John ston on Friday and at Edge field on Saturday of this week. The very able editorials that have appeared in the Augus ta Chronicle on the political corruption that obtains in that city were, like all fitly spoken words, veritable apples of gold in pictures of silver. The Chronicle should continue the fight until this blot is removed from Augusta's otherwise fair escutcheon. Wm. J. Bryan will soon take a trip to Europe. Won't somebody cut the Atlantic ca ble while he is gone so we can have a rest from his per petually wagging tongue? He twice led the Democratic par ty to defeat, and a victory for 1904 is impossible unless an other and wiser counsellor can be found. The Saluda business league has arranged to haul all cotton purchased at Saluda to the railroad free of charge to the purchaser, which means that this isolated town will have as ' good cotton market during the coming season as any of its competitors. This is the spirit that builds cities, con sequently Saluda's future is in safe hands. Every state from the great lakes to the gulf and from the placid Pacific to the surging Atlantic ha's her Judge Lynch. This new judiciary was not created by law but by law lessness. His duties are uni que in that-he is judge, jury and executioner. Further mere, he is not restricted in holding court to any time or place but dons the ermine wherever and whenever his Honor (?) is needed. In answering a newspaper correspondent who charged that there was no difference between 76 per cent corn, X corn and XX corn liquor ex cept the label on the bottle, the state dispenser says that "76" is X corn with 24 per cent water added. He should have given a complete analy sis of this popular brand of South Carolina's merchandise by saying the component parts are 24 per cent water and 76 per cent devil. Soon- we shall be asking ourselves the question, "What shall we eat, what shall we drink and wherewithal shall we be clothed?" Latter day scientists are about to pro nounce the earth and the full ness thereof unclean. Food experts tell us that vegetables grown on contaminated soil should not be eaten; others say that to strike or even scream at a cow poisons the milk and that millions of dis ease germs are lurking in drinking water biding their time, while others assert that cloth and clothing made in mouldy, poorly ventilated shops are unclean. The truth of the matter is we are getting too wTise. Our fore fathers, in their blissful ignor ance, ate, drank and were merry, never becoming vic tims of the many newfangled diseases. THE S. C. M. A. Unfortunately, the Citadel, unlike the other state institu tions of learning, in its loca tion is remote from the mass es of our people and many are ignorant of the fact that South Carolina possesses a military school that is che en vy of all the other states, be ing second only to West Point. The board of visitors purpose making this, the six tieth anniversary of its found ing, a red-letter year in its history. Col. J. P. Thomas, an alumnus and one who for fifty years has held the South Carolina Military Academy. as the apple of his eye, has been engaged to tour the coun ties of the Piedmont sec tion, enlisting.recruits for the Citadel corps. There are boys within th borders of Edgefield county who should avail themselves of the splendid advantages of fered by this institution. In addition to the military instruc tion the cadets are trained in the arts, sciences, mathemat ics and literature. And if there is one word which char acterizes more than any other the teachings at the S. C. M. A, it is the word "thorough ness". That the citadel sends forth fewer graduates than other institutions of learning in the state is to her credit, for the standard is very high and many fall by the wayside before graduation day arrives. However, this old and honor ed institution has stamped its impress upon many who can be found in the forefront of all walks and avocations of life, the most of whom being men of force and' influence, leaders in theirrespective com munities. Edgefield has been honored by having one of her sons, whose life and achieve ments are an honor to his al ma mater, placed upon the board of visitors and yet not a pay cadet hails from this county. This should not be. Send your boys to the S. C. C. 1. and after they have completed the course in our own school send them to -the S. C. M.A. Several years' residence in the quaint old city of Charleston will be of itself a good schooling for them. JOHNSTON. Happenings of Interest from Our Neighboring Town. Mr. Wm. Cogburn has the finest potatoes we have seo?. A few years ago he procured a peck of the vine less sugar vam, which yielded him eight bushels of potatoes. Last year he planted half au acre; from one row seventy yards long he measused five bushels of potatoes. The price received for these pota toes was from eighty-five cents to one dollar per bushel. The Farmers' Institute which will convene here on the 24th in stant will* have addresses by some able men. All farmers Bhould at tend, as much valuable informa tion can be gained, while an ex change of ideas will enthuse all, and awaken much latent ambition, which will yield success whero failure has heretofore followed. On the 5th of August the South Carolina Horticulturists will be with UP. This also is an important meeting and should meet the hear ty co-operation of the entire com munity, as there is much to learn. The many blunders and failures resulting from inexperience and iguorance enjoins us to adyise oth ers. A pecan tree of seven years had its second crop of nuts, to make them fine, we deemed it ex pedient to fertilize and throw an occasional bucket of water around the tree; all well enough at the proper time but the result was at that stage, a shedding .of all nuts and a new growth of foliage. An other catastrophe was necessary, to learn us the time to fertilize. For sight years we had nursed a -'Queen of the night" Cactus, never having seen a bloom, almost discouraged, we gave ita season of hegleci. To Dur surprise a month ago we dis covered a bud about the size of a a youug pine burr, and very much like it. Buoyant with hope we ?iave the plant a top dressing and liberal supply of water. In a few days it shed the bud and is now snjoying luxurious growth. Messrs. Gerold LaGrone and Frank Richardson, of Augusta,are with the home folks. Mr. Wright Miller,of Greenville, is visiting friends here. Miss Curran Hartley, of Edge field, is with Miss Fannie Strother. Miss Lunie Wright, of Honea Path, is the guest of MissLylei La Grone. Tb.6 New Ceutury club has re lived a lot of nice new books. Ten sets of books for the "Bay View Course of Study" have also 3een received. The Sunday School convention it Philippi was held last Tuesday ind Wednesday, and Johnston was ?epn-sented by Messrs. S. Watson, ?. N. Lott, Robert Turner, W. L. Jo!eman and others. PARKSVILLE.

J. I. CHIPLEY. GREENWOOD, S.O. New Scholarships for Men Teachers at the South Carolina College. Clause from Appropriation Act of Gen eral Assembly. 1003: . "That one thousand six hundred and forty dollars be appropriated to be used to provide forty-one scholarships in the Normal Department, one from each county, of the value of forty dollars, besides the remission of tuition and matriculation fees, the beneficiaries to be selected under regulations to be pre scribed by the Board of Trustees." This means $40 in cash to the student, besides remission of $40 tuition and of $18 matriculation term fee. Thus thc scholarship s udent will receive from the College $5 a month for eight months to assist him in his necessary living expenses. REGULATIONS BY THE EOARD. L Applicants shall be young men at least nineteen years of age. The pur pose of ihe General Assembly being to encourage men teachers, preference will be given to those who furnish sat isfactory evidence of having already taught for at least one session, and with success; but if from any county there be no suitable applicants who have taught, the scholarship of that county may be awarded to a young man who only intends to teach. 2. Applications shall be made to the President of the College, at Columbia, before July 1st, upon prescribed blanks furnished by the President or by County Superintendents of Education, upon re quest. These blanks shall provide for information and references as to the applicant's age, physical condition, gen eral character and ability, educational advantages, financial circumstances, leaching experience, and purpose in : taking the special normal course. The information thus sui.milted ./ill be re garded as a preliminary examination, and those who receive permits to stand ihe later examination will be credited with the combined results of these two examinations. 3. The later and formal examination shall be upon English Grammar and Compo5ition, History and Geography, Arithmetic and Elementary Algebra. ! (Algebra, however, is not indispens able.) The Normal Scholarship Com mittee of the Faculty shall prepare the questions and mark the papers. Thc County Board of Education of each county is requested to conduct this ex amination at the same time with the entrance and other scholarship exam inations of the South Carolina College and of Winthrop College (which this year will be on Friday, July 10th). The County Board will receive the questions from the President of the College, and is requested to return tho answers to him, at Columbia, forthwith, by mail or express. 4.

The proper announcements shall be made through the President. 5. After the first year the Incumbent may be reappointed, provided that, in tho judgment of the Faculty, his apt ness to teach, his progress in study, and his general character indicate that he is a suitable person to fulfill thu purpose of tho scholarship as provider' for by the General Assembly.
