I .cannot recall all of the subject* hut some of the most Important ones were to dispense with whiskey drinking, chewing tobacco and the purchasing of automobiles. Let us consider the whiskey question w hich I think is very important. Since our county has gone dry we still have whiskey handled on the sly but H should be stopped, and 1 think now the law along t,bls line will be more rigidly enforced. The spirit of the law may have been car ried out and the liquor selling victim convicted, but he wo.it hi sooh be par doned. 1 trust next September "that South Carolina will cast her vote to keep it out of the state as a beverage, though some will say, "Oh. the revenue, where does It coiue from?" It is taken from those children of parents who drink the whiskey and In turn are deprived of the advantages of school in many .cases because they haven't sullielent clothing to wear to attend school.

Kansas Is said to be one of the rloho*| states In the union and has had prohibition for years, it would be far better if every state In the union were to sue-*' eessfiilly rhl themselves of whiskey,' t lu'ii some of the drinking cltlsens of the dry states could not purchase 11 from tho state that does sell whiskey. Chewing tobaeeo, like other bad ha bits, is hard to tpilft and we advise those that are not victims of the habit not to take It up. Fertiliser, another one of Oletuson'H subjects which was discussed from an economical standpoint. It Is trife a irreat ninny of our fanners have lost money on fertilizer, because they did not know the kind. of soil that It was most needed on, and the kind of soil it was not so much needed on. l.t seems to me if the farmers would or ganize and discuss different farm top ics and demonstrate together they could benefit each other a great deal, and could realize more good than thoy do realise from the farm demonstra tion agents. The largo planters of to^ day in seeking an overseer do not go to Clemson College to find him. but Instead he gets some well trained man from the farm that hart had the prac tical experience Mini one who can plow himself. t 1 sometimes think that Clemson Col lege has not filled the place that the founder of the college Intended for it to till. Where Is the $300,000 that thy* farmers of South Carolina paid for fer tiliser tags to Clemson College an nually. I believe In economy, but by example as well as by precept. There are many ways that we could economise by cutting out all useless officials, and many of those that are; necessary are paid too much for what they do. Take the rural letter carrier for instance, who in the majority of cases ride 24 miles each day, handle* thousands of pieces of mail monthly, t ides through all kinds of weather, and is paid from $000 to $1,000 per year, and yet the postmaster general Is trying hard to enact a law In Congress to cut their salary. Compare this with "with some of our salaried men of this rich country with Its able people to pay their taxes. 1 hope the readers of your valuable paper will not think I am trying to tear down anything that may be eco nomical or of any benefit to the i>eo pie In any way. Take our farm dem onstration agents, what good are they doing? The farmers are as Intelli gent as any class of people. What would a merchant think If some one would come In his place of business and try to demonstrate to him how to sell ai\d buy his goods? What would he say? I will leave this for some one else to say^ One other subject that might be con sidered by the farmer, is the econmij of time. There Is no time of the year but what the farmer can find some thing to do. It is as Gladstone re marked : "Believe me when I tell you that the thrift of time will repay a usurer of profit beyond youf most san guine dreams ; the waste of It will make yon dwindle alike in Intellect beyond your darkest reckonings." J. F. West. The Leader in Oats and Wheat. - \ ?South Carolina has cause for pride this winter In the fact that not only was her percentage of Increase In wheat acreage ? 200 . per cent. ? the largest In the United States, but that ?lie also had the largest actual acre age increase In fall-sown oats of All the Southern States. The Increase In acres in fall-sotyn oats in South Car olina amounts to 330,000, and Georgia is ?u:und with . an increase of 328.000. These facts have_ given gratification to the extension and demoustratlon forces of Clemson College, which con ducted an ? energetic campaign ,.frr grain-sowing tf+om the outbreak of the Kuropean war. 1 1 1 ^ 1 r 1 ' 1 Biggest Fighter of the Navy.

Some men seem to havo the idea that to tell a girl tholr old love af fairs Is to make her jealous or uu easy henceforth.

Hpcuklng generally, no sensible girl really fancies uhe Is the first and only love, for where is the man, or tho girl, for the matter of that, who has never had tho shadow of a puN><ing flirtation before the pres ent "adored one" appeared on tho scene? And, after all, It dyes not mat ter very much how many old love affairs a man has had, provided they are dead rfnd gone, antfc, he can truly impress upon his reigning sovereign that she is the best and truest and the last A groat many girls like to feel thai they are the chosen recipi ents of such confidences, and the mere fact of being able to chat easily about old Humes will prove that no sad remembrance is attached. Even if you did happen to have a serious attachment, it Is all the more necessary to be absolutely atruightfor ward about it. Your fiancee will appreciate your nonesty, and can feol that at all events there are no unpleasant discoveries to 06 mado later on, for when confi dences come too late then real mis chief is done, and it takes a noble minded woman to forgive and forget. ?Philadelphia Evening Ledger. POSTERITY'S DEBT TO TINKER Itinerant Mender Furnished Theme for , Ono of Wagner's Greatest Compositions. A tinker has established hlmsolf op posite our house and stunned my oars all day long with his Incessant ham mering. In my disgust at never being able to find a detached house protect ed from every kind of noise, I was on the point of deciding to give up com posing altogether until the time when this indispensable condition should be fulfilled. 4 But It was precisely my rage over the tlnkor that, in a moment of agi tation, gave me the theme for Sieg fried's furious outburst against the bungling Mime. I played over the childishly quarrelsome Polter theme in O minor to my sister,' furiously singihg the words at tho same time, which made us all laugh so much that I decided to make one more effort. This resulted in my writing down a good part of the first scene by tho time Liszt arrived, October 12 (1856). ? Richard Wagner, in his Autobiogra phy. A Historic Weapon. Mons, which henceforth is en shrined in British hearts, has long been a household word for Scotsmen. Every boy insists on an excursion to Edinburgh castle to see Mons Meg. For Meg was made in Flanders, and did much havoc at the siege of Scot tish castles as well as in wars of ad venture into England. Partly of wood and partly of iron, the great gun was put together late in the fifteenth cen tury. Cromwell captured It and listed It as "the great iron murderer, Meg." While firing a salute for the duke of York, in 1682. Meg burst. A century later it was banished from Edinburgh to the Tower of London as a useless gun; but Sir Walter Scott saw ro mance and patriotism in Mons Meg, and persuaded the war office to send It back to the castle. ? London Chronicle. Way of the Modern Debtor. Dodson and his friend Jones stood conversing on the corner. Dodson looked up, clutched his companion by the arm, and whispered": ''Hurry fim!" Around the corner they went and made off up the street. Then Jones called Dod,son to account. "Cred itors of mine," answered Dodson "It isn't Jin.e you to dodge creditors," said Jones. "Are you up against It?" "Well," was the reply, "I have enough in my me I might do it. wow Fet e go and spend some of this money, so I can give him an honest excuse. if we should happen to see him again." Memory.
