Lever's Big Bill
Will Aid Colleges
Washington, Aug. 25.?The house
on Friday passed the Lever agricol*
' ? Li'l ?Jinrr fnr fV)A
turai extension uiu, pn/uutug
establishment of agricultural extension
department in connection with
the agricultural colleges and experiment
stations in the several States.
This measure, to which Mr. Lever
had devoted several years of study and
preparation, completes an agricultural
educational system which had its beginning
with the passage of the first
Morrill act in 1862, augmented by the
Hatch act 25 years later. Under
these enactments stores of agricultural
information and facts have been
accumulated, but the one defect in
the national system, until the Lever
bill, has been the fact that its practical
and local application has not
reached the actual farmer. These
scientific agricultural facts, gathered
by the experiment stations and disseminated
by the agricultural colleges,
have reached only limited numbers
in proportion to the total rural population;
and the passage of the Lever
bill: having as its main purpose the |
direct dissemination among agriculturists
of this accumulated knowledge
appertaining to agriculture and home
economics, through such agencies as
field instruction, demonstrations, publications
and the like will forge the
last link of the chain in a complete
system of national agricultural education.
Mr. Lever, of course, is enthusiastic
over the outcome U his long and continned
efforts in perfectine and working
for the passage of this measure.
"I regard the passage of this bill
in the house," he said, "as the most
significant and pregnant event of my j
congressional career. My first conception
of this bill arose some years
ago when I fir?t discovered the fact
that great as were the efforts of the
national government in behalf of agriculture
the> were not as far-reaching
as they ought to be into the ac..
tual needs of the rural population.
Hence, as I have so often said, the
purpose of this bill is to reach the
farmer on his farm with known agricultural
truths, but showing him e
their peculiar applioatiou to his in- J
dividual and particular needs. The j
agricultural colleges aim tu^njuoiin
stations have been and are now doing
an efficient work in the accumulation
of this agricultural knowledge, but
true progress among our rural classes
will follow the wisest education, and
that teaching is wisest which, being
efficient, is most general. This end
is the aim of this bill, and I regard
its passage in the house as my most
s gnat effort in behalf of the vocation
from which I have come aftd lor the
betterment of wbose condititions it
has been my privilege hnmbly to
labor."

The S.C.C Institute.
The South Carolina Co-Educational
Institute, located at Edgefield, will
begin its twenty-second session on
Sept 26th. Colonel Bailey has been
jnresident of the institution all th( s)
-/ yekrawd has associated with him a
large experienced faculty of fourteen
instructors.
Last session students attended this
school from all over South Carolina
and five other states. The dormitories
are always filled to the utmost ca
paeity and each year the school grow9
in favor with the people.
The buildings are of brick and are
furnished with everything that is necessary
for carrying on a high grade
institution.
Graduates of the S. C. C. I. can be
found all over South Carolina, filling
positions of honor and trust.
If you contemplate patronizing this
institution it is important that you
communicate with the president as
early as possible, as it is always necessary
to engage rooms before the session
begins.
See adver iaement elsewhere.
Four Buildings Burned
By Lightning.
Daring a heavy electric storm on
J ist Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock
lour buildings at the home of Mr. T.
J. Buff, in the Switzerneck section,
were destroyed by fire, having been j
struck by lightning. One large barn,
corn house, log barn and a frame j
barn, together with their contents, i
were totally destroyed, entailing an
estimated loss of at least $1,000 with j
no insurance.
Mr. Buff lost several hundred ban- |
diesof fodder: in fact all of his housed
food was eat up by the flames.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a
stimulant. It does not make
you feel better one day, then
as bad as ever the next.
There is not a drop of alcohol
in it. Ayer's Sarsaparilla
is a tonic. You have the
steady, even gain that conies
from such a medicine. Ask
your doctor all about this.
Trust him fully, and always
do as he says. He knows.
Who makes the best liver pills? The
J. C. Ayer Company, of Lowell, Mass.
They have been making Ayer's Pills for
over sixty years. If you have the slightest
doubt about using these pills, ask
your doctor. Ask him first, that's best.
