' A New Text Book for Public School* Vocational education and education for efficiency in our public schools will receive a great boost when the school of the State begin the study of agriculture as prescribed by the State Board ol Education this fall. The text book to be used is Agriculturr In the School by James B. Hunnacuth editor or uie soutnern uuiuvator eui mainly practical farmer. Heretofore people have had the eroneout idea that to be a farmer education was an unnecessary' adjunct, that education s<. far | from being Ja help rather 5 hindered trnes efflency as a farmer. Of late years fallacy of 6uch a proposition has been laid bare, and now all recognize th( fact that to be a successful farmer requir ers not only a trained mind but one thai is open to receive suggestion and ready U act on professional advice. There is just one drawback to bo offeree to the State's text book. Some may saj that those who follow the vocation o: /arming will not be helped by such t eouree. Some do contend that such i study will not help them. If such woulc stop | an instant [and consider th< various studies pursued that are of n< , practical value other than for disciplim and at the same time consider what ar Important, far reaching study the study o agriculture really is, they will be readyitc substitute agriculture tot Physics oi Botany or some other study which is ol less value from a vocational standpoint. Even if a pupil does not expect to spenc! his life on the farm still agriculture may interest him in a smaller way. He is likeJy at some time to own a garden, which is an important factor In the economy ol ... almost every family, and his 'study ol , agriculture will here prove not only a great pleasure but a signal benefit. It is strange that a state like ours, which has been almost wholly agricultu[ ' ral has not long ere this introduced some | measure looking to the better training of its people In this most important vocation. L-v;? Had this been done years ago nc doubt all this cry that we now hear of "Back to .the farms" would not be necessary. "Back to the Farm". The air is full of it. It is talked, it is printed, it is mooted, it Is discussed and all to no avail. Who is going back to the farm on the advice of newspapers and time merchants and land awnfirs Dolitical economist? No one. There Is only one way to turn the tide of the . townward bound and that Is to show them that they can live just as well In the country. But they must be shown. It must be proven to them. Many have tried both the town and the country. They have lived both lives and a simple cry of "Back to the Farm" does notinterest them in the least. When the younger generation is taught in the public schools that farm life can be made just as profitable, just as pleasant, justas easy as any other vocation then the question will be partly solved. The course has been adopted by the State board. The text has been selected^ Now let the trustees of the country schoo *ee to it that their respeccive teachers do not dodge the issue and leave off of their curriculum this important study. Let them see to it' that agriculture i6 taught in each school. No labratory is required, filled with costly apparati for this study. Nature has provided the labratory. Just a small patch of tho wide world In the vicinity of the school house is all that U required. Let, the teachers awake to a realization of the opportunities they have of doing irreat thlncs for their runils with this new old study. Let them give the study of agriculture its proper place in thr curriculum and they will have taken a broad step toward effectively calling the present un. .effective call, "Back to the Farm". Qr. Daniel and Columbia % i jnthe course of a sermon preached in Lexington recently Dr. J. W. Daniel a former pastor of the Abbeville Methodist -church, made a severe araigirment of his present home city, Columbia. He said that Columbia, the capital of the proud . State of South Carolina, is the wickedest city south of Philadelphia. He said that there were more debauched young men and young women in and around Columbia than any other section of the State. Columbians have taken umbrage at the doctor,s swoeping statement and would have him specify more explictly wherein Columbia is worse than other cities her size. Dr. Daniel says that he will preach ha coma oormnn In flnllimbitt. If Dr. Daniels words are true then the people throughout the State have been egregiously misinformed. Columbia is reputed to be about the cleanest towj* politically, morally, socially and religiously of any city of its size In the south.. "\S'e are not at all prepared to believe what Dr. Daniels says until some proof is forth coming. Georgia has a city, Alabama has a city, Florida has a city, Louisana has a city, any one of which can give Columbia four kings and still beat the game, as we are led to believe. SI A minister should be careful what he .says. * 11 that. Dr. Daniel XI re TDIJ U?l4Vt VMUWWV - made such utterance outside the city of Columbia. If it be true Columbia is the place to preach the truth. If it is not true Dr. Daniel has hurt the city of Columbia, injured his own usefulness and brought a reproach upon his high calling. Mr.|Bartow Henderson, who is now living in Ancf&rson spent the greater part of a week with friends hero at his old home. Mr. Henderson is a machinist of long experience and great capability. He is in charge of the engine in one of the large cotton mills of Anderson. Mr. John A. Wilson left Abbeville forty_ two years ago for a homo in the West. He was in the town last week, a stranger in the home of his birth. J v* I." ?,\S,J. - - V7 . V V ;rT* Greenwood arid Ihd TrolUy. Something more than a week ago, Messrs W.'J. Thackston. President, G. A. Clark, General Superintendent and H. J. Haynesworth. Attorney of the Anderson-Spartanburg interurban Trolley line, visited Greenwood in response to the invitation of the Mayor, Mr. Baker. The proceedings of the conference are printed in full in this issue of the paper, and it. is hoped that citizens of Abbeville, to a man, may read them. It appears that the following deductions are well warranted from a review of the proceedings. 1 That Mr. Duke, will return from Europe about the first of September at which time General Superintendent, Clark, will lay before him plans for the Southern extension of the trolley line, from Belton to the Seaboard, with his recommendations thereon. 2. That the men above named are disi posed to be entirely fair, asserting positively that the road is not up to the highest bidder, but that any section desiring it ' must have a tangible proposition to submit. i 3. That at the suggestion of Mr. Thackston a committee of influential citl zens of Greenw(K>d was appointed to solicit stock, secure rights of way and take such i preliminary stops as will enable the town i of Greenwood to negotiate with the pro> moters of the road. 4. That Greenwood received no great > amount of satisfaction out of the meeting ; other than to applaud a few uncomplimen? tary remarks about Abbeville, made by some of her own citizens. t If Abbeville is alive to her opportunity > in this matter, the chances are more than ever that she will get the road. Granting i that Greenwood is all that her cnthusiasr tic citizens, old and new, proclaim her tc f be, which wo do with our fingers crossed i and our left hand on a volumn of "Arabian t Knights," neither that city nor Abbeville 1 is large enough by reason of ponderous j weight to make a dent in the earth. Dr, ) Mason's suggestion that "Greenwood j would be a city when Abbeville was still o i village" did not seem to impress Mr. r Thack6on, President of the road, wh<; > seems to know something about the - density of substances, especially gas. He f mildly and very politely informed Dr. Mason that "Greenwood could make a I dollar go a long way. We fear nothing on the plane of com parison of the two towns. Abbeville like i Greenwood is to be what her citizens will ' make her. ' We have the long pole in 'this instance , "if we will go to work at once to use it Let our people secure rights of way at ' ' ' A" 4-k/x once anu men let uiwui yu ireiuiu m<r promoters pf the road with these in their hands with a request that they state their terms. We will comply with any reasonable request that may be made but let us try to have the request forth-coming and get busy on meeting it. Excursion Rates North and to the Sea Coast The Southern Railway has put on some attractive rates to Washington, the sea coast and other points of interest. This is just the thing the vacation bound are looking for. Just the thing those going north to buy goods are looking for. The rates are low; the service is the best. Those interested will And the Southern's "ad" in this paper. You have here an opportunity to spend two weeks in the National Capital or the East, with many side trips from Washington. Mr. Jno. L. Meek of Atlanta, Ga., abetter Railroadman or more courteous gentleman than whom would be difficult to lind, will take pleasure in giving you any information you may desire on the subject. A card will bring you a reply. The Southern?at your service! Declined to Run. Col. E. S. Link, perhaps the biggesthearted man in Abbeville, was over-whelmed Monday with requests to run for the Legislature. i With a full appreciation of the honor that the office carries with it, and the kindly expression of his friends, he declined to run. His loss in a business way would be so great that he could not afford to absent himself for two months from his business. I Undoubtedly Col. Link would make a representative of the highest type, and it is regretted that he has declined to run. Death Prison We see it stated that the State of Georgia is about to appropriate a large sum to equip a sanitarium for the treatment of tul>erculo8is. Tli5 difference between Georgia and South Carolina is, we believe, that South Carolina provides a breeding pen in the penitentiary for the develop-1 man* nf tiihf?rfulofiis. so that when a victim may tje said to be in the very grip of death from the disease, the Governor may pardon him so that he may go out and inoculate others with the seeds of the death-dealing affliction. The Value of Long Service in Congress The voters of the Third Congressional district will at the August primary nominate a man to represent them in Congress from March, 1911. The present incumbent, Wyatt Aiken, stands for re-election, with a Mr. Mann as a competitor. One has had eight year's experience as congressman, while the other has had no legislative experience except as a member of the State legislature. In this connection it will be of interest to read the views of leading statesmen in reference to the value of long service in Congress, so wo quote the following from a speech by President Taft: ' Why is it that the small States of tiie East exercise so much {tower in Congress? It is not because an eastern man has any more capacity in the matter of legislation than a western man?certainly not more than an Ohio man. It is because when they get a good representative they keep i.:... innir ?? lives, and then lie has (lie influence that vastly exceeds the more numerical representation of |>opulation." Tjpeaking on the same subject the Hon. Champ Clark said: "ilea should not be sent hither simply to gratify their own personal ambitions, but because they can be of service, and having proved that they are of service, wisdom dictates that they should be kept here so long as they continue to be of service; and it may be confidently asserted ; that the value of the services of a man of capacity, character, industry, and good habits increases in exact proportion to his length of service."?

Excursioti'g Thy city of Beaufort is iuiicli exercised over the landing of excursionists in its ti precents, from Savannah and other cities, t and is about to adopt some means of put- f< ting a stop to what they deem a nuisance 1 to the city, 11 This sentiment is diamet rically opposed to that which prompts the business men e of Augusta Ga, to encourage the running v of excursions into that city from all surrounding points. The difference is, in the case of Beaufort the excursions are being run from the city to the country anil in thiscaseof Augusta from tho country to the city. There is much difference between these two classes of excursions. In the tirst case the excursionists take their liquor with them and in the second case they go to town after their liquor. The llnale or ach is about the same. When this scribe was younger thai1 .e is now he was tempted by the excursion mania to no small degree, and many were the nlckles and dimes he spent in seeing things and studying geography. But ho ' was broken of the habit by the hair of the very dog that I it hirft. On one occasion he went to Augusta on I a Sunday school excursion, (God save the ' mark!) It was a mixed train, white and colored, colored predominating. Going I down all was quiet and serene, even as a bunch of Mexicans goiug out to a bull- 1 fight. Every thing seemed pcacable until i the train left for home, then the Devil I kicked down tho doors of pandemonium towji and turned every inmate loo&o on ' thattrain. Demons from Domdaniel flew 1 into the windows of that train like so 1 many chimney sweeps and danced one infernal cotillion from the start to the linish of that home bound debauched run. ' The scribe being perfectly sober himself had no part or parcel with the rampart ' riotous crowd. Ho tried to shrivel up on 1 the platform of the rear car so as not to 1 draw the notice of such a hilarous bunch of humanity. Whenever the train stopped I at a station it was a signal for every man 1 a-board to draw his gun and empty every chamber, which every single man very ' cheerfully did. Even while tho train was 1 running the pop, pop, of pistols could be 1 heard up in front among tho colored contingency. At every station a battle royal was waged. Station agents and loufers skeedaddled and stirred around corners and behind things like so many rots at the advent of a weasle whenever tho train j stopped. And well they might for the fusi- I lado was something fearful. i At the town of Morloc, a quiet, orderly little burg under ordinrry circumstances tlio vacinity of tho train, which had stopped for somo cause, rose to such a temper- i aturo that tho scribe could not stand it. i He took the inviting shade of the midnight woods ami eusconsed himself behind i a large oak where for the lirst time thut i night he felt any security. But-presently t the train began to move off and the scribe ^ caught it in a moment of inadvertency up near the front. Here was a pickle. How t was ho to get back bey on a tlie Jim urow line? There was only one thing to be dono 1 and that was to make a dash for it. This f the wavering scribe did and many times ! afterwards ho wished he had crawicd up ( on the tender of the engrino instead. The first car to be passed through had not a single window left unbroken. The > negros madened and vicious dammed 1 up the ai6le with broils and fights. The 1 picture of one darkey still remains as he stood backed up against the wall with a I coupling pen in his hand and a demonia- 1 cal dare on his countenance. Razors gilt- ? tered, knifo blades scintilated, pistols popped, and blood flowed freely. In the next car the scribe was taught i his final lesson about such excursions, a 1 lesson he has never forgotten. Just as he ^ entered the door amid the popping of 1 Brittish Bull Dogs and brandishing of i knives a darkey fell. He was shot through the heart and died quickly, bqt instead of dying like ordinary people he died with a grin on his face and the grin froze there The Scribe's bloood likewise froze, "fiis smile haunts me still" such a smile! What ever he could havo seen to cause to freeze that sardonic, blood curdling grin on his ! face what ever it was it must have been horrible. He lay where he fell until the train reached his home when friends of his ' debauch took him off. The Scribe was young then. He was fond of oypursions. He liked to study creotrra- ' phy in the concrete, but that nights ex|x>r- i ience was enough. And further if this is the class of excursionists that is making a rendezvous of the pretty tour of Beaufort. We do not blame Beaufort from taking steps to stop it. THE KEOWEE COURIER. Its Big Issue on the Occasion of Dedicating the Confederate MonumentLast weeks issue of the keowee courier was perhaps the most interesting paper that ever come from that office. The war stories and histories were good, and they should be embodied in book form. It is I iudeed seldom that any news paper puts | as much- labor on any simple copy. We have read the speeches of Gen. M. L. Bonham, and Col. Robert T. Joyner with pleas- a are. Both are interesting ana com are or- a thodox. ' ^ The variety of speeches that have been delivered of late, show that the subject of the war is inexhaustible, and that none be w afraid of repeating what may have been '' said by others. This writer has been trying to write a 's speech that has never been and never will be delivarod, but which may be printed on the sentimental side in reference to the 11 women, Gen. Bon ham came very near to .f< anticipating some remarks by this scribe. The Courier ought to lilo away extra '' copies of last weeks paper for reference by .i( the future historians. ? ?

The Roads, The Roads! ^ Abbeville County must do something! a At present tae population are venting | their feelings with invective directed against the Supervisor.
