HOW PARCELS POST WILL WORK.
(B.v James A. Eilgerton.)
After years of agitation the United
States is at last to have a parcels post
We are practically the last civilized
nation to inaugurate the system.Great
Britain started it in 1883, and other
nations followed in rapid succession.
We lagged behind. John Wannamaker
when postmaster general was once
asked b.v J. Heninker Heaton, M. P.,
the English postal reformer, why the
United States was so backward in the
matter.
"There are four insuperable obsta
cles to the establishment of a parcels

Wannamaker. "The first is the United
States Express company. The second
is the Adams Express company. The
third is the Wells Fargo Express com
pany. The fourth is the American Ex
press Company."
Parcels Post Versus Express.

with existing express rates is shown

To carry the law into effect it wil1
be necessary to print a large numbe*
of postage stamps of new denomina
tions, as distinctive stamps must be
affixed on all packages before mailinf
It is predicted chat denominations wil'
run as higgh as $1
Another reature that is keeping the
postoffice department busy is the prei
aration of zone maps for all offices
For the purpose of designing th?
zones the entire country is divided in
to blocks of thirty minutes, or abou;

This looks complicated enough, bu
is simple when one understands th(
system. Morever it need not con
fuse the general public, since the pos
office clerks are the ones who wil
have to study it out.

Ocone6 county. This is the roadway
mentioned in The Intelligencer recent
ly and also adds the Abbeville and
Oconee pieces of roadway.
The road would commence in Ab
beville and would come through the
Level Land section through Honea
Path and up through this county to
Townvtlle. Then passing the botder
of this county into Oconee the road
way would go.
So far as this county is concerned
the roadway is not now in good shape
and would be admirably suited to the
development planned by the govern

Governor Blease wrote the Intelli

the roadway in this county when the
money is raised.

DRIVES OFF A TERROR
The chief executioner of death in
the winter and spring months is pneu

and grip. In any attack by one of
these maladies no time should be lost
in taking the best medicine obtainable
to drive it off. Countless thousands
have found this to be Dr. King's New :
Discovery. "My husband believes it i

Purftfers' Short Coarse in Agriculture
It is an established fact that the
:"afm cftn no longer be run successful
ly in the old time hajHTaizard fashion.
Science and brains skilfully applied
'.o farming so increase the yield and
improve its quality as to make some
knowledge of the underlying princi
ples of scientific farming essential to
the farmer of today. While is is real
ized that the four year course in none
too long to give a boy the foundation
which will insure success in-farming,
it is also clearly seen that there are
many practical farmers who have nei
ther the time nor the means to devote
four years to a college course and
who would be greatly benefitted by a
few weeks spent at College. To meet
duch a demand the College offers a
short course of four weeks during the
month of January. This course in ag
riculture is a practical course in farm
ing and is meant for farmers. It would
aid tne man wno warns 10 iarm uu a.
business basis and who desires to get
larger returns for his labor.
The entire resources of the College
are at the service of the Short Course
students. This in itself is a liberal ed
ucation. In their work they may util
ize the new barns, the finest in the
South; the new dairy building; the
Experiment Station grounds; the Col
lege farm; the Horticultural plant; ;
the various laboratories of the Agri-J
cultural Department; and the general!
libraries. They are also invited to take!
part in any student activities in which'
they care to engage. January 3rd,;
1913 inaugurates the beginning of the
third session for short course stu-'
dents. The first two years of this
course proved unusually successful.'
All who have taken the Bhort course
agree that it has paid them many fold, i
The work will consist of the follow-,
ing subjects: animal husbandry, sev
en hours per week; dairying, three
hours per week; soil tynes and siol
management, five hours per week; !
farm crops, four hours per week; fer
tilizers, four hours per week; farm
machinery, four hours per week; hor
ticulture, three hours per week; vetri
nary science, two hours per week;
study of injurious insects and how to
control them, two hours per week;
plant diseases, two hours per week;
and cotton grading, four hours per
week. These courses are supplement
ed by illustrated lectures in the eve
nings. These lectures will be given by
uembers of the teaching staff and will
include discussions on farm machin
ery, farm science, insect and plant
iiseases, different breeds of live stock
lairy methods, plant breeding, results
>f seed selection, etc. This course be
gins January 3, 1913, and continues
or tour weeks. It is open to all far
mers and farmers' sons of South Car
olina.
There are no entrance requirements
except a desire on the part of those
entering to increase their knowledge
of farm operation and farm manage
ment. The expenses for board and
room are $10.00 for the entire course.
A11 those intending to take the course
should address the Director of the Ag
ricultural Department, Clemson Col
lege, S. C., for more detail informa
