Saved Mine Option AWESTERN Mining Engineer, with an option on a valuable mine was about to close the deal, when, at the last minute, the Western capitalists with drew their support. With a few hours left in which to find the money, he got New York on the Bell Long Distance Tele phone, talked with a banking house and outlined the proposition, which they agreed to finance. A personal interview by the Bell Long Distance Telephone often closes a trade or saves a situation. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AWI) TELEGRAPH COMPANY When you telephone-smile M?GE W. NORRYCE DIED MONDAY MORNING PASSED AWAY AFTER ILL NESS OF SIX MONTHS WAS WELL LOVED Popular Among Newspaper Men of North and South Carolina; Will Bc Sorely Missed Daily Mail. Claridge Norryce, one ot (he bright est newspaper men in the slate and one of the most popular young men of the elty. died Monday morning at an early hour. His friends, which in cluded everhody who knew him, had realized for some time that the end WHS inevitable, but they were greatly shocked, nevertheless, Monduy morn on hearing of his death Two years ago Mr. Norryce's health became impaired but from time to time; he showed some improvement and there was every reason to be lieve that he would overcome the di sease which had come upon him. His friends and thc members of his family were greatly encouraged. However on Hie 16th day of last January, while at his desk UB city editor of The Daily Mail, he suffered some kind of stroke or an attack, and after being taken home on East Hampton street, he nev er came back up town. Hs health continued to grow worse, and while everything possible was done by lov ing hands to prolong the life which was so dear to them, he and those who visited him frequently knew that it was but a matter of time. He realiz ed his condition probably before any other and was prepared for his go ing away. Claridge Norryce was born In No vember 1883, and would have there fore been 31 years old had he lived until this fall. When quite young the fascination of a newspaper man's life ^pealed to him, and he secured a po tion as printer on Thc Anderson In jlllgencer, which waa the published y Messrs. C. C. Langston and J. Fleet Minkscalet. He was proficient in his work from the very first, and from time to time he WUK pushed forward. The work in the editorial rooms ap pealed to him more than the mechani cal department, and he began gather ing news for the paper. When Mr. Norryce left Anderson to pursue the newspaper profession in foreign fields he went to Wlnston-Sal em, N. C., where he became city edi tor of the Winston-Salem Journal. He was later offered the position of news editor of the Charlotte Evening Chron icle and he accepted it, dolug splen did service on that paper. He was promoted from that posltlou to that of telegraph editor of the Charlotte Observer and continued in that capaci ty until he decided to return lo An derson and assume the duites of city editor of The Daily Mai!. It was while in Charlotte that Mr. Norryce met and married M?BB Annie Tyler Doughty, who survives him, together with one duughte, Mary Tyler Norryce a little girl of three years. Claridge Norryce was an unusually bright young man. He had a quick mind, appreciated the value of news, gathered much reserve information, which came in handily later, had a keen sense or humor and above all he was cheerful at all times, which proved of*great benefit and assistance to his co-workers who were thrown with him day by day. He was friendly with all and the happy disposition of treating all Just alike. He was pop ular with people of all Classes, young and old people, and those who were intimal* with him and loved him best. The Daily Mail force has been look ing forward, hoping against hope that Claridge Norryce would pull through and would noon be back at. hiB desk. Members of the force cannot realize to-lay that he will never return. The otb-e has noi been the same since he dropped out, and his position ts go ing to be hurd to fill, for not many peopu had that kindly and friendly dis position, which distinguished him from other people Yesterday at. noon some friends call ed on him in his bedroom and he rec ognized and spoke to them as they entered. His mind was perfectly clear and he appreciated what was going on around him. Ho noticed that his wire was silting on the bed crying, and he asked her what was the matter. Just in u short time after this he became unconscious and did not speak again, He remained In this unconscious con dition until 2 53 o'clock Monday morn ing, when he breathed his last. His death was without any effort or pain, he: just fell asleep. Mr. Norryce is survived by his father Mr. L. K. Norryce, three sisters, Mrs. S. H. Dyron, Misses Kathleen and Na talie Norryco and ono brother, Mr. Ansel Norryce, all-of whom live In Anderson He ls biso survived by a largo circle of relatives, most of whom have lived in Anderson county all of their lives. The funeral services will be held at the home on 'East Hampton street to morrow morning at 10 o'clock, con ducted by Rev. W. H. Frazer, D. D., pastor of the First. Presbyterian church of which Mr. Norryce was a member for many years.

I Th?' past sc" '' .. i.as boen Iii ! most, successful Clemson College has evor? experienced Clemson 1? truly the farmers' college. More than f?0 per tent of her SOO students are taking the agricultural course. This past session 41G men studied agriculture uti this, the greatest agricultural college, in thu South. When these agricultural j colleges were first established they were criticised by people in general j because their students, especially their j graduates, did not engage in farming. | 'I his criticism at the time was unjust I because thc country wu? demanding I the her vices of these graduates in oth er and more important work. These demands tame from Ute I*. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, the agricultural college*., the state experiment stations and other scientific institutions. While only n small percentage of the gradu ate? of these college In the curly days engaged lu farming, it is a fact that the great majority of them have made excellent and Ftibstanllal citizens and their Influence has always been for good. In tl?-* early '90's when most of the instituttonn were first established, agriculture over the entire country was greatly depressed on account of ovi c-production. When cotton was soiling for five and six cents a pound and the price of all agricultural pro ducts was correspondingly low. there was little inducement offered to the graduate of these institutions to en-1 ter the profession of farming. The over-production of farm products a ?ew decades ago was duo largely to the cheap lands of the west which at that time could produce crops with very little outlay of money. The conse quence of this filling up of the wost with formers was over-production anti over-production has always meant de pression and farming ut more or less of a loss. The boys of a generation ago could not see any advantages in farming for there were few. Conse quently the majority of them that graduated at our agricultural colleges sought, employment In other profes sions, especially in college and experi ment station work. Now that the country is filling up so rapidly with people, the demand for agricultural products is r.ucb that a young man well trained atong agricul tural Unos can find valuable employ ment on the farm. In this age unless a man is highly trained to produce agricultural products economically, he ls doomed to more or ICdB failure. The time has passed when mediocrity meets with success on the farm. Keen competition means the banishment of Ignorance for only, the well Informed can succeed The world ls demanding trained men who are capable of pro ducing farm products economically. With our increase in population, it is doubtful if we will ever have low prices for farm products again for many years. The young meit who are . trained at Clemson college are well fitted to go hack to the farm and en ter into thir. competition. Their train- j lng gives them an advantage in the | struggle and they are being imbued i with the Idea while at Clemson that it is their duty to spread thc gospel of good farming In their communities. Manny of the agricultural students that are leaving Clemson are going back to the farm enthused with their calling and with the determination to i bel pbuild up the agricultural /re- | sources of South Carolina. Clemson college ls now the beBt equipped Institution in the south along agricultural lines, and the great move ment for agricultural development that is sweeping our state can be in directly traced to Clemson college. While Clemson encourages most of her students to go back to the farm; many, however, are advised to take post-graduate work at other Institu tions and to seek positions with the government and various experiment stations. There is a big and growing demand for well trained men In thc various lines of scientific agriculture. Students taking thc agricultural coures at Clemson are not only given Instruction in the art of agriculture, but are well trained in the fundamen tal sciences related thereto. Clemson offers a four year course in genral agriculture which embraces agronomy, animal husbandry, dairying, entomolo gy, zoolog.', botany, bacteriology, hor culture, veterinary science, geology, mineralogy, chemistry aid forestry. This course is of course supplemented by work In mathematics, history and political economy. In the senior year students may elect major subjects. Two years ago Utere was inaugu rated at Clemson a one year course in agriculture tor the benefit of young mon who are not In position to take the four year course and yet are de 8trlous o? receiving the training at Clemson necessary to make them bet ter farmers. This course has proven a success from the beginning and is supplying a long felt necessity. More than 60 boys took UIIB course during tho past sesi?n. Many of them -were young men of maturity and their work was exceptionally good. This one year course is not intend ed to prepare young men for teaching agriculture as the time spent at Clem son is not sufficient to give all the scientific traJning necessary for that end, but thiu one year course does give to young men the fundamental principles of scientific agriculture and the practical training for Intelligent farming. Practically all of tho young men who have taken the one year ag ricultural course have gone back to farms In South Carolina. Aside from the training of students, the agricultural department Is dlssem \ Inating knowledge to the people of the state by means of demonstration Messrs. O 1*. Browne, William Banks, Koys E.

Now work, farmers' Institutes, special lec tures, exhibits at state fair?, circulars, bulletins and hy answereing thousands of inquiries by letter An important feature of thc work of the agricultural department is the conducting of scientific experiments, i the object of which is to collect data ? that will be of value to the farmers.1 truckers, fruit growers and stockmen of the state. Tlie results of these ex periments ure published in bulletin form. To carry on the work of the agricul tural department successfully, immy thousands of dollars have been spent on apparatus and equipment. The buildings of the department comprise an agricultral hall, a large brick building; the veterinary building; u three-story dairy building; farm ma chinery building; two large green houses; and tlie best equipped dairy barn in the south. A splendid herd of dairy cattle is maintained for instructional purposes. Tin' horticultural grounds .embracing un area of fit fy acres, nre used for experiments and the instruction of students. A large farm is operated primarily for producing feed economi cally for the live stock kept by the college and for cdmnnstration pur pores. The experiment station also operates a large farm on which hun dreds of experiments along practical lines of agriculture are conducted. These farms ure well equipped with improved farm machinery and afford a splendid object lesson for students taking agriculture. The Itrunrh Experiment St al io ns. Clemson college maintains two brunch experiment stations, one lo cated on the coastal region near Sum merville, and the other In the Pee Dee section, within a mlle of Florence. The coast experiment station con sists of three hundred acreB, one hun dred of which have been freed fron? stumps and tile drained. This darln age system hus worked admirably an?! there are thousands of acreB of unde veloped lund in South Carolina that can be drained in this way and profi tably cultivated. The results of the experiments being couducted at thlB station are far-reach ing in their importance. The soils re spond exceptionally well to fertilizers and elaborate experiments are being made to determine the fertilizer re 1 quirementp of the soils of that region. Important rotation and forestry ex periments are being conducted and also experiments with fruits, vege tables, and nut-hearing trees, grasses I forage crops, corn, cotton, etc. Splen did results have been obtained from these various tests. Where proper cultivation is given and fertilizers ap plied, large crops have been obtained. As much as 200 bushels of sweet po tatoes, 50 bushels of oats. 60 to 75 bushels of corn and 1 to 1 1-4 bales of cotton have been produced per acre. Tho coast station ls well equipped with Improved fnrm machinery, work animals, barns, tool sheds, an artesian well, and a comfortable residence for the superintendent. The Pee Dee station has been estab lished only one year and is not yet fully equipped. This station consists of 200 acres which represent the very best type of land in the state. Every acre is capable of the highest devel opment and can be profitably cultivat ed. Thc most elaborate fertilizer ex periments conducted in South Caro lina have been planned for this sta tion and thc conditions there are ideal ly suited for this kind of work as the soil ls quite Uniform in type. This present season a number of experi ments are under way. The work of this station will embrace experiments along the lines qf rotation, cultiva tion, testing fertilizers, horticulture, plant breeding, stock raising, etc. Gentleness at Home.
