Scott, will be pro moted to the position of clerk and that he will have no assistant as Mayor Uodfrey will give some of IiIb time to assisting in lb? clerical work.

Discuss Some Interesting Questions Clemson college will send out a number of (rained men to talk to the farmers through tho remained of the ?ummer. There will be three farmers' Institutes held In thiB county, and there will be good wholesome instruc tion at each and every one. On the Kith there will bo an Insti tute at Three and Twenty School House; on the 2Gth in the city of An derson in connection with the Trades Day for August and on the 27th at Long Branch. The speakers will be W. W. Long, farm demonstrator for the state of South Carolina; W. H. Barton, who will talk on tho subject of vetch; A. F. Conrad!, who will dls cubs Insects; and C. C. Newman, who will talk of horticulture. Prof. H. W. Barre, the entomologist, may also be with tho party. W. W. Ixmg, tho state demonstra tion agent, has written The Intelli gencer as follows with reference to the meetings in this county: We realizo that the many campaign meetings which are being held in the state are taking up much of tho farm ers' time and we think It only right that the farmers should attend all of their campaign meetings. At the same time, we would direct the attention of your readers to the fact that the farmers' institutes which arc soon to he held in your county must also have their attendance, no matter how many other meetings they may have had to go to before. Clemson college linn gone to much labor and oxpense to send out these institute parties. Never In the history of the college have such competent and mature men been sent to the far mers. Everything that they will say has been carefully worked out and designed with the view of giving the moat practical help to the farmers of South Carolina. I believe that the farmers of the state owe iL to themselves to attend these institute mcotings. One of these meetings has frequently been worth hundreds of dollars to a farmer wh attended them. The time is espe cially opportune for the farmers and tho agricultural experts of the state to get together and talk with each other, since.the boll weevil is fast ap proaching and we must learn how to meet him. Please publish this letter in order that your farmer readers may be re minded of the Importance of the in stitutes In I his county. I wish every farmer who reads this would considor blmsel personally invited and would also invite his neighbors to attend the meeting nearest to them. The meetings are for the farm?rs. Let the farmers be for the meetings. oooooooooooooo o o *> STARR o o o ooooooooooooooo Starr, S. C, Aug. 11.?Rev. J. t.?.
