How fatally v real is the application of this sentence! Pleasure is a dream that vanishes with q awakeuing; it is the goodly apple that e turns to ashes in the mouth. Rich and n poor alike build on it, only to find that they have bullded on shifting sand. / t The poor desire riches that they may j buy the luxuries of the rich, counting not t; the cost of Indulgence that has wrecked a so many lives. The. rich turn from the j price of one disappointment after another, t to find at last that pleasure may not be a bought with wealth. Then too, there is t( the great middle class who perhaps ap- c proach nearest to a realization of pleasure. And what of their lives? They rise in the ^ morning to begin the work of the day; they lie down at night to plan the work of a tomorrow. And day follows day and ^ night follows night and year follows year, j( until they come at last to the grave, bent with the burdens of life and worn by the ^ constant grind or routine. Well may It be v assumed that the fires of sin have burned c low in such a life, for constant employ- u ment is but poor fuel for this consuming 0 element. The pleasure then, of the middle s, , class if pleasure it bo called, consists of 3 little moro than intervals of rest from toil, while the leisure of the rich becomes a burden. The Industrious man toils and gathers to the brink of the grave, leaving to another to "scatter abroad." w ' Poverty finds solace In simple wants, a: mediocrity In employment and wealth in ^ waste; but these are mere phases of ex. istence and, not of pleasure. E Not three per cent of the human family si live in history, and a large per cent of g these have attained distinction by e: questionable methods. What then is the end and purpose of it all? Light and shadow are so blended in d every life that there can be no real un- g alloyed happiness. This was what Solon " meant when he said to Croesus: "No man t( can be truly happy until he comes to die." tl Considering the brevity of life, and the burdens, in millions of varied forms, that le Jie on every breast, is it strange that the w human family looks instinctively to something beyond the grave? If our mortal ii existence Is the sole purpose and end of creation then creation is a failure. If tl there Is any real continuous pleasure, it ti is inririAnf-.nl o n?? JJ ? mo *JL DEI I UtJUItU aiia si charity; never in the truest sense, is it overtaken by the selfish votary, who follows after it primarily. Pleasure so called, which1 in reality I means pursuit and not'possession, is a S: mere ellusion. Well did the poet express g this thought in the lines: T "Pleasures are like poppies spread h You seize the flower, its bloom is shed." p] Solomon with a thousand wives, with the choicest wines of vine clad Jerusalem, ir. ,, with gold from Ophor, with the power of tl a king and with greater wisdom than was h ever possessed by finite man, wisdom it ; . that should have made moderation his g, guide, wrote in the bitterness of his dis' appointment: '.Vanity of vanities! ..All ir is vanity." And the accumulated expert- ei ences of subsequent centuries have pro. g, duced no reasons for questioning that w sentiment. w itj The Agricultural High School. ^ It is a good thing. But it will cost money. P< A costly equipment will be required lo j chemical labratories and land for experimental work. . Taxes are high now. Unless Clemson can run such schools out of the proceeds of her tag tax it is doubt- in ful whether the people of the state would zt be willing to take on the extra burden. pi Thq schools proposed are High schools. The Freshman class at Clemson College fo does High school work. There would be ri an advantage in having four High Schools ?a in different parts of the State. The advan- to tage would be more than railroad fare, b( for having these schools in communities th where there is no such school would have the effect of absorbing pupils who would ai probably naver think of attending Clemson pi College. pi But Clemson has every equipment nec- 111 essary to carry on such work and to so equip four High schools would entail an tt immense cost on the state. to It would probably be a better idea to-in- is troduce into the High Schools of the State ul the study of elementary agriculture. At present there are about 150 H igh Schools w P* in the State with an attendance of prob- D ably over 15000 pupils. The introduction L> that these pupils would receive to the stu- be dy of agriculture by placing the course in the State HlghSchools would outweigh the fiTCOd that, fmir Bio.h * ? ? ?6u uviiwioui Agriculture could accomplish* v If the State is really in earnest on the ^ question of Agriculture let it place tutors ^ of Agriculture in the High schools already established and equipped. The various Boards would be only too glad to co-op- A. erate with the State, giving over recitation rooms, labratories, ect, for such use. D This would guarantee a more equal and equitable division of public funds and ^ would also have the effect of establishing more High schools throughout the state. L: Another advantage that would result directly to Clemson from such a plan would U be in the better preparation of students for Clemson College. The High school pupils could thus take part of the Clemson Curriiculum-at his home High School. f. Baptist to erect Fine Church- c' The Baptists have bought the corner lot P near the home of W. D.

Q The Flying Machine Didn't fly The goodly town of Auguste during the ecenb fair held at that place adverised t!hat a heavier than air machine would nake daily ascents for the delectation of .11 visitors who might attend the festiviies. ? The Curtiss exhibition company with rhom the contract for the aerial flights fas made failed to deliver the goods, one lars who whs to have made the flights epresenting to his company that the feather was so bad in Augusta as to prelude all possibility of making a flight, fhen, as a matter of fact, the weather fas ideal. Now President James W. Jackson of the toorgia Carolina Fair Association has takn steps to sue the exhibition company for rvf fnlfilUnrr fha nnnfr.onf It is hoped that Mr. Jackson will recover he $15000 damages for which he has asked t is a great discredit to a town to adverise that there will be such an attraction nd then fail to have the attraction put on. Jo doubt hundreds attended the fair for he sole purpose of seeing the air ship fly nd their disapointment will react in future o Augusta's detriment unless Augusta an show that her skirts are clear. The people should be protected from umbugs, Circuses: and shows and fairs arnivals and theatrical companies that dvertise attractions which they do not resent should be made to show cause beare the courts for not doing so. Tho city of Augusta was honest in its inMitlons to give her visitors the fehow adertised, but on account of some idiosynracyof the exhibition company she was rmble to do so. Her reputation as a town f integrity is at stake and she is right in ueing tho exhibition .company for the 15000 damages. Where'd Ye Get 'Em?

While the process is not niuue piuu. it is claimed that the extraction is by means of. the electric current. A one horse dynamo is capable of manufacturing a ton of the condensed nitrogen in a year, and this ton will supply tho ammonia or nitrogen for something like twelvo tons f of 8-4-4 guano. 2 This is not mere theory. According tr ] the Anderson Daily Mail, a sample of tin j guano, manufactured as stated, was sen i to Anderson by Mr. Patton of Greenvilh i and it ran about 18 per cent ammonia. .?If the pea, clover or other legumes ex- < tracts nitrogen from the air and convex \ it to the soil, then why not somo humai i device for the same purpose? t ; Imagine tho possibilities of farming 1 when this patent is put into general use j j Old barren hills will laugh with fatnes', and barns will burst with the fruits o. the harvest. Only now, while the project is in its in fancy, means should be used to keep Swift Armour or other trust magnates fron securing a monopoly of the air. Congress should take immediate stepto protect froip the greed of the Gugen heims, all government air not here-to-fon preempted. Why not have a College for Abbeville? Anderson has just raised $100,000 for th? building and equipment of a College foi women to be operated under the auspices of the Baptist Church, i Greenwood has a college for women operated under the auspices of th? methodist church. Due west has two colleges run I for A. II. Presbyterians, Greenville has a Baptist college, Spartanburg has a Methodist College, Clinton has a Presbyteriai. College, Columbia has a Presbytorian and a Methodist College. Now, why cannot Abbeville have a college for women of all denominations? It ) 6 hardly necessary to sum up the man: benefits that would accrue to the city an< community from -having such an institution in our midst. With a little effort we could get it. Then is no better atmosphere in this broad lam for a college than that of Abbeville. Then is no healthier locality, there is no plaoi that needs such an institution more thai: does Abbeville. Abbeville has splendid primary schools a splendid High school, system and noy all 6he needs for her wonion is a College. Think about it. Death of Jas. W. Sherard. Mr. Jas. W. Sherard of Iva, S.

HOW THE MISSISSIPPI SOMETIMES EATS UP REAL ESTATE. Captain King of Greenville Tells Hop the Father of Waters Swallowed Sevt/ra] Thousand Dollars' Worth of Ills Troperty In One Right. "No use talking, the Mississippi river'li ihe most contrary tiling on earth," ronarked Captain S. II. King of Greenville, Miss. "During the civil war, it will be I emembered, there was a double bend, nuch in the shape of the letter S, of the iver at Vioksburg. General Grant, yoi enow, wanted to change the course of the Ivor by cutting a channol through De Soto peninsula, thus cutting off the upper )end and causing the river to flow straight icross below Vicksburg and leaving the own high and dry. Grant could then ) lave sent his gunboats by Vicksburg and >scaped the shelling from the upper bat arics of tho Confederates north of the iown. lie put General McClernand and leveral thousand men to work at cutting ;his channol across the peninsula In front i >f the town, and they worked for some ' lime, notwithstanding tho harassmont 'rom tho lower batteries of the enemy. But tho contrary river wouldn't show the east desire of accepting 6uch an artificial jhannel anyway. Tho plan was finallj ibandoned and Grant's gunboats had to nako the run beforo both the upper and ower batteries, nut id ioio uiu jiussjb ilppi river, of its own accord, cut its waj kcross De Soto peninsula below Vicks )urg, but farther up than Grant's artificial ihanncl was started. De Soto peninsulo s now Do Soto island, and the body 0/ vater infrontof Vicksburg is now known is Centennial lake, taking tho name fronj (he year that tho Centennial was held at Philadelphia This is only one of niunj nstanoes showing how the Mississippi re uses to submit to the difctation of civL sngineers and how itfollows its own stub 30m course, winding and washing it* ivay here and thcro at its own will. "By the way, the Mississippi washed leveral thousand dollars out of my pocket n one night about 15 years ago. At that lmo I owned a row of houses which began ilmost threo blocks away from the rivei n Greenville, Miss. One tiny a governnent engineer said to mo, 'Tho river will tome time wash away its bank here, and 'our buildings will tumble In.' "Woll, I laughed at him. The bank vas 75 feet high, and, besides, the river vas quito low. One morning I awoke to earn that there had been a big cave in of he rivor bank tho night before, and that 1 couple of my buildings had been carried iway. I joined tho c:-owd of people that ushed to tho river bmk to see this do truotion, and, I tell yon, I never ap >reciatcd tho terrible powor of tho Father >r Waters until x wimcsscu turn stuuc. iVbile I was standing there talking with rlends another big slice of land, a block n width, crambled away and fell into the Iver, carrying with it 6evoral more of my" mlldings. You can imagine how 1 felt, >ecause I had been drawing an income of 11,000 a month in rentals from my build ngs. Now pver half of them wero a iuoes if debris floating down the river, and my eal estate was only so much dirt in tlfe Kjttom of the channel. "As I stood there watching my build ngs and ground slip away into tho rlvei t citizen approached mo and said,' Capain, I'll give you $1,600 for the remain . ler of your property.' " 'No, I'll not take less than $2,000,' aid I. "The words had no more than left mj ongue when there was another cave in, ind two more of my lots and buildings umblcd into tho greedy river. The citizen hen remarked to me, 'Captain, I'll give rou $1,000 for yuur property now.' "I refused to entertain this proposition, vhich, of course, was a pure speculation, is no human agency could stop tho cavt n. Pretty soon another one of my lots >nd its building went into the rivor, and ay speculative friend then offered mo $800 or the remainder of my property. By this lme I bad concluded to trust to luck and tand all losses, and I refused to sell at ny prico. I now had ono lot and one tuilding left. During the excitement au Id colored woman came up and said tc do: ""'See heah, cap'n, will ye give me dem irick what's In dat cellar under yor louse?' "I told her 6ho could have tho brick. J lad a piloof now brick in the cellar under ay only remaining house. Tho old colred woman gave her husband 26 cents o hiro o team and wagon to haul away he brick. Now, upon my word of honor, rilUO X ULU 11U>Y ?UJ1J? IU ocij JO 9hile tho old colored man was gone for a pagon another cave in occurred, and my ast house and lot, brick' and cellar and 11, tumbled into the river. Tho cavo in ame eo suddenly that the crowd of people tending on tho bank had to llco for their Ives. After tho excitement had somewhat ubsided the old colored woman exclaimed: " 'Laws o' massy! Dere's my brick in le bottom o' do ribber, un I dono los* my uatah.' "Of course, while the old woman wa6lut 25 ccnts, 1 was out another $1,000. )uriqg this series of cavo ins that day ifforts wero being modo to placoalong rame 6tore building on rollers and move t to a placo of safety. But before the tuilding could bo raised it began to tilt, nd the men wero compelled to desert It. soon tho 6toro building slid into tho river ind went kerchug to tho bottom of the hanDel, as completely out of sight as if it iad been 'the only pebble on tho beach.' "In my opinion the Mississippi river ia jl rigm?ween ib Qooenn;y/ijuiij^ x milt a nice rasidenco in Greenvillo several cars ago ^nd had a beautiful flower belocked lawn between the house and the lver, which was a block away.
