PUBLISHED WEEKLY WINNSBORO, S. C. WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1906. ESTABLISHED 1844 nm - --. -- r...... I emn.s nnIsC m n Farmers' Institute. Because of its interest and im portance to the farmer of the county we again call attention to the Clemson College car and In stitute to be held here next Mon day, July 30. The cars will be side tracked at the station and the addresses will be made in the court house. Let as many farm ers throughout the county as can possibly do so come to the meeting and give the college authorities a hearty and interested greeting. Let the practical and the theo retical farmer be on hand with a lot of questions on practical farm work and we feel quite sure from the reputation of the teachers in charge of the work, the questions will be answered with candor and profit. Think out your questions beforehand, or better still com mit them to paper. This will help you and will certainly add interest to the institute work. As the time will be limited we suggest that the questions be confined to matters of practical value. Too many of that kind cannot be asked at an institute. Here is a treat in storefor all who will attend, we feel sure in predicting. And the farmers should not let an opportunity to gain information on subjects so vital to their work pass unap preciated. Bring your wife with you. There will be many mat ters in which she will be inter ested and subjects will be discus sed in which she naturally shares with her husband in interest. The dairy department with the tests, cream separation churns, butter working and making, these and other subjects equally in teresting and profitable will come up for discussion, Remember the date, next Monday, July 30. The Clemson exhibition car will make this the most inter esting institute ever held -in the county. The following informa tion in regard to the same will be read with interest: THE CLEMSON EXHIBITION CAR. A coach has been loaned to Clemson College by the Southern Railway Company, and will be transported free of cost to all parts of the6 State reached by the rack of that company. This will give to the authorities of Clemson College the means of access to the people in all por tions of South Carolina with valuable instruction on . practical question relating to agriculture, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering, textile and chemical industry, geology ad general industriea1 education. There will be in this car, be sides the experts, the needed apparatus, appliancee, tools and implements to make the course of instruction highly entertain ing and valuable. A first class lantern, with many slides on a large variety of subjects, ;illus trative of the lectures, will be among the desirable apparatus provided. The most improved eguipment for handling milk ,can be seen, as well as diagrams and charts showing the conformation of dairy and beef cattle. .Speci mens of plants, insects, minerals, etc., will be found in this car. Among these will be included 40 varieties of cotton, 30 varieties of corn, 60 of cowpeas and L.5 of vetch. Problems in entomnology and horticulture will be given the attention their importance demands, and object lessons will be provided showing the diffeient m.ethods of pruning grapes, fruit trees, and making grafts. 'The car will contain a number of varieties of pecans for the inspec tion of the farmers. s Much of interest will be found in the exhibits of the mechanical, electrical and textile departments. The drawings and sample of machinery will be very compre heneice and valuable. There will be sample of raw cotton from all parts of the world, and of goods made at the college and elsewhere. A gasoline engine will be operat ed and the mechanism of the Jacquard loom explained. This same car will also be used for the institute to be held at Blackstock, July 31. Only Sz Years Old. "I am only 82 years old and don't expect even when I get to~ be real old to feel that way as long as I can get Electric Bitters;" says Mrs. E. H. Brunson, of Dub lin, Ga. Surely there's nothing else keeps the old as young and makes the weak as strong as this grand tonic medicine. Dyspep sia, torpid liver, inflamed kidneys Sor chronic constipation are un known after taking Electric Bit ters a reasonable time. Guaran teed by Jno. H. McMaster & Co. amngists Price 50c. Importance of the Cattle Tick. The common cattle tick is a familiar sight to all our people, but very few outside of those engaged in the cattle business realize the important part it plays in hindering the development of t the cattle industry in the state. I The cattle tick carries the "germ" < that causes Texas fever, a disease < very fatal to grown cattle. Cattle t that are raised on land infested I with ticks are inoculated with the E germ by becoming infested with ticks immediately after birth. At t this age they suffer a very mild t attack of the disease with no vis- I ible external symptoms, and after they have passed through it they f are then proof against the infec tion and can be exposed to ticks later in life without harm. But I if cattle are raised on land on I which there are no ticks and are t afterwards moved to tick-infested t lands, they will become infected t with the disease. They will also suffer from the disease if they remain on the land on which they were raised and tick-infested cat- c tie are introduced among them. r Because of these facts the Fed- s eral government has established a I quarantine line across the coun- I try dividing the regions infested t with ticks from those in which t there are no ticks. No cattle can E be moved from the tick-infested . regions across this quarantine except when they are being t shipped for butchering to a slaughter-house which has direct railroad connection. South Caro- d lina is placed below this quaran tine line among the tick-infested ' regions. Hence, cattle cannot be I shipped from this state to points above the quarantine line except for immediate slaughter. Cattle ' for dairy purposes, or for feeding or breeding are barred. Thus, the market for the cattle produced in the state is considerably re stricted. Some of the states included d within the tick-infested area, notably Virginia, North Carolina, C Texas and Oklahoma, which had T within their boundaries an area in which ticks existed only on a few farms or ranches, have suc ceeded in - having such areas placed above the quarantine line, I. thus opening new markets for the cattle raised therein. This was c accomplished by the passage of a q law by the legislature establishing a state quarantine dividing the slightly infested area from the other places in the slightly in fested area. When these condi tions were brought about the state quarantine line was then adopted by the Federal govern ment and made a part of the national quarantine line. This pln is just as feasible in South Carolina as in any of the states mentioned. In a great part of the state since the passag~e of the stock law the cattle tick. has be come almost extinct and exists only on a place here and there. The first step in the matter, how ever, must be taken by the legis- 1 lature. Bowel Comiplaint in Children.

A PolitigaI Pgayer, 0 great and mighty Tillman, from whom all perfect political prognostications come, we beseech thee this day to give us our daily instructions in politics, so that we may be governed thereby. Thou art the only true political god and unto thee we come for succor and rellef. Hast thou not given to us the great moral insti tution that has reduced (?) drauk enness, decreased (?) taxes, and taught us how to save our hard earned dollars by passing them over the cogaters of the dispen sary? Is it not true, 0 Bleiznjmn, who art too mighty and learned o condescend to come down and canvas the state as do other poor mortals who are weeking the suf frage of the people? We beseech thee to forgive us for the sin of poor Lumpkin. We ask thee to gide and direct us in the path we shoid tread, for we are meek and lowly and usd a gu~ide. All this we ~ask in the name of dirr pensary graft, and of demagogue ry of which thou are the chief, proiing to be guided by thee. forever and ever. Amen.-Gah ey Ledger.

On his subject, Dr. Wiley, Chief of he Bureau of Chemistry, Depart nent of Agriculture, is still earning painful facts about the ood we eat.

The reporter, of ~orse, avoided expressing an pinion, but Mr. Wallace said here was no hearsay about the natter. Mr. Wallace travels over the .untry a great deal selling light iing rods and while traveling hrough Fairfield county last eek he stopped at the home of Ir. Ed. .obinson, who lives nine niles from Winnsboro, and was old by this gentleman himsplf hat he hadl read the'Bible through 38 times.

But whether Mr. Robinson stands it the head of the list or not, here are scores and hundreds of >thers who have not read the Bible through one-twentieth as many times as he has. Really, it w'ould he interesting to know th~e nunber of people in the couinty and state who have read the Bible through as often as ten times, or five times, yes, one time, or the agober who have never read it through at al.Rc Wil Heald, The Reason Why It s the Best.

"While returning from the Grand Army Encampment at Washington City, a comrade from Elgin, Ill., was taken with cholera morbus and was in a critical condition," says Mr. J. E. Houghland, of Eldon, Iowa. "I gave him Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and believe saved his life. I have been engaged for ten years in immigration work aud con ducted many parties to the south and west. I always carry this remedy and have used it successfully on many oc. casions."

There was an interesting dis play of pretty clean American humor in the friendly tilt between Ambassador Reid and William ennings Bryan at. the American dinner in London on the night of the Fourth. The incident was purely American, and illustrates the disposition of Americans to "jolly" each other at all times and all places. This very humor keeps the country healthy, and brings harmony and good fellow ship after many trying issues. Every son of Uncle Sam will recognize this rivalry and banter as an American product. The report says: Mr. Reid, in responding to Sir W. B. Richmond's gracefil pro posal of his health, said with reference to Mr. Bryan: "At home. as a citizen, I have openly and squarely opposed him at every stage of his conspicuous career. I am reasonably sure that when I return home I shall continue to do the same. I be lieve he tonight is as well satis fed as I am, though by different reasonings, that the country we both love and try to serve has not been ruined by its gold. Abroad as the official representa tive of the American people with out distinction as to party, I am glad to welcome him here as a typical Amgericen whose life has been lived by the daylight and whom such a great host of my countrymen have long trusted and honored." Mr. Bryan, arisia~g amia lugh ter and gheers, said; "The temptation to make a political speech is strong within me. I have not had a chance to do so for ten months. However, I will restrain myself. With refer ence to the ambassador's remarks on gold, I wish to say that when I see the progress my country has made walking on one leg I won der what it go,uld have done walking on twg legs.. it is pleas ig to testify that the ambassador not only has foughit me, hat that he-as done well. No American rejoices more than I that he is three thousand mniles from his base. While abroiad I have met many good Repiublicans--holding office-and I only wish there were enough offices abroad to take all the Republicans out of the coun try."
