COTTON SCHOOL AT CLEMSON. th
In order to protect themselves of
from the loss by arbitrary classifica- .wc
tion and grading of their cotton by co
some unscrupulous buyers some farm. th
era of the state made an attempt to gi
inaugurate a special cotton school sot
for teaching this business, not know- thl
ing that Clemson College was already wi
well equipped for this work, which gr
the following letter from Dr. Mell er
explains. It is now up to the farm- ke
era to send up a small class of bright
young men to take this special
course that our warehouse system
may be prepared to pass upon the
grades of their own cotton. E
Clemson College, Sept. 14.
Mr. J. C. Stribling, of
Pendleton, S. C. fr
Doar Sir:--At the last meeting of J
the board of trustees, Col. Alan John. er
stone preseited to them your request tI
to have established in our textile de. ge
partment a pratical course in the
grading and sampling of cotton for w
the benefit of the farmers of the
state. The board referred this mat. eo]
ter to the executive committee to look
into the entire question and deter- t<
mine if such a course was practicable
without serious interruption to the a
regular work of the young men who
are pursuing work in the department,
and if the committee could find r
that the request of the Farmers' b
Union could be complied with to a
grant the same. The executive com
mittee held a meeting on the 4th if
inst., and, after a careful inveetiga- 9
tion, they requested me to write you 13
as follows:
1. There is already an excellent a
course in the textile department t1
which prepares young men for doing
efflaiently the very workcot emplat- "
ed in the plan you unfolded to Col.
Johnstone. The farmer's son who
pursues this course is amply able to
sample and grade the cotton his Ii
father propose s selling, The board
of trustees would be pleased to know
that the Farmers' Union contem- yL
plates opening places which will give 'G
positions to the furmers' sons who "'
are every year oraduating in the
textile courses of Clemson College. it
2.-We are now permitting young ai
men from the farms and the cotton j
mills of the state to take special er
courses in the tertile department if ti
they are not able to find the time
and money to take the four years' pi
degree course. This short course li
will prepare young 'nen for the work Is
ofd grading cotton. s
3 -There can be n objsoction C'
raised to a small num'.'er of farmers:i
attending special practical courses if t<
they so desire, provided the followng
facts are clearly borne in mind by
them:d
I1.--The dep'irtmeut can accommo- A
date only a small number at one time. 13
Tlhe establishment of the scholar- E
uahips in textile industry by the last
general assembly will considerably
crowdl the lecture rooms and the t
machines. and we will, the-rfore fnda 1f
ficulty in making room for the
hors of th'e boys, if they come in
ge numbers.
2.-There will be no room in the
rmitories for sleeping and in the
as hall for boarding, now that n *
ve opened the colldgo to 700 boys .
erefore, if the farmers come they
I have to secure board and lodging
the neighborhood.
3. --In order to master efficiently
a subject of cotton grading it will
Luire two months or more constant
endance at the college in daily
rk. Can the farmers spare this
nable time from their farms? All
nge therefore considered the exec
ve committee have thought it wise
suggest that you recommend to
Fariners' Union the advisability
employing our graduates in this
rk of sampling and grading the
ton raised in South Carolina. In
a way the Farmers' Union will be
ring employment to the farmers'
is. The committee feels confident
it in this way touch better work
11 be accomplished, and thereby
eater satisfaction given the farm.

ALWAYS CHEERFUL.
ten When He Lost Both Feet Ho
Could Find Consolation.
Brown's cheerfulness wis a source
wonder and adinration to his
iends, accordling to the Ladies' Home
1urnal. Either his religion or his
illosophy taught him to accept ev
ything as a wise (ispensation. But
en he had( a large share of worldly
ods, his friends argued. and nothing
it adversity would shake his faith.
T1'hlerefore wihten a promising crop
is washed away by a flood the neigh
ors were much astonished to hear him
y: "It's all for the best. I was bless.
I with an overabundance last year."
In the whiter his house was burned
> the ground. To his neighbors' so
Atations he calmly responded, "The
yuse never suited us anyway, so it Is
I for the best."
Other cainmities befell Brown. but
:ill he refused to be disheartened.
The climax came when he was in a
tilroad accident. Both feet were so
ndly crushed that amputation was
ecessary.
Sympathetic friends gathered from
11 quarters. They dreaded to hear the
Lmentations they were sure would
reet them, for even Brown could
ardly be expected to pass this light
by.
"Guess you are pretty well discour
ged, aren't you, with both feet cut
T?" ventured some one. "Do you
tink this is all for the best?"
But Brown nodded his head, smiling
anly, and said:
"They were always cold anyway!"
