Westminster, S. C. # * * Agriculture in the Common Schools. Tho Board of Education of Rich mond county, Ga., has decided that agriculture shall be taught in the rural schools of that county. This ia a proper step, and the wonder is that some kind of an effort has not been made before now to teach in the schools at least some of the principles of the noblest of all call ings. Dr. J. B. Ilunnicutt, editor of the Southern Cultivator, has written a text book entitled "Agriculture in the Common Schools," and this will likely be thc book that will be used. Wo are inclined to think that if more attention had boon paid to this Btudy iu the schools in the past wo would not now be confronted with Buch a serious problem as is furnished by the exodus of the people from tho farms to the cities and towns.-An derson Mail. . lt Beauty Only Skin Deep ?

Alf Truitt, a Georgia cotton au thority, has issued the following open letter: To tho Cotton Mills of Georgia and Alabama : I don't know what your policy is just now towards this cotton market, nor do I caro to offer advice, but will venture a prediction, since it has been my privilege to travel over the cotton belts of Geor gia and Alabama. I Sud that in some sections 90 per cent of tho cotton has been picked and in other sections 95 per cent and still others the cotton fields have a.ready been sown in wheat, and you will see cotton selling at 13 ^pents before February 1 and as scarce in March as it was last May. I have tried to bo a bear on the crop, but find that I am wrong, and you will see that tho bears will have the boars or the bears' wool on their horns "in short," as old Uncle Fed used to say, and the butt-headed bulls that haven't horns will have a bear down butting the stuffing out of him. Now, cotton millers, don't delay if tho counsel be good, no matter who gives it. Very truly your?, Alf Truitt.

RYDALE'S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that Infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makos it rich and healthy. RYDALE'S TONIC ls a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try lt, lt will not aisap point you.

Riis, io a recent address before the King's Daughters, spoke of Lie old mother iq Denmark, who, at that very hour, he said, was read ing ber Bible and thinking of her absent son. The influence of^ his mother and hi? wife, Mr. Hiis de clared, had been the root of all tho work he has accomplished. There are many mothers ou this side of the water whose loving thoughts and prayers follow their boys into the big world, but it does not always happen that the boys re spond so loyally. The yoting for eigner who came to this country so many years ago to struggle with pov erty, and all the hardships which beset a stranger, kept the thought of bis mother as a shield between him self and evil. And when those days of trial were past and more subtle temptations came to the brilliant and rising young journalist, bis mother's influence inspired bira to do work that would help others instead of contributing solely to his own ad vancement. Many of you boys believe with all your hearts that you have "tho best mother in the world." There is only one reward you can give these good mothers, and that is .to mako suoh a record as Mr. Riis has done, living pure and noble life from which there is a oonstant overflow of help fulness.-Young People's Weekly. . . * Rum Statistics.

Then tho doctor proposed that he take his extensive practice and let him rest, and so on.

Thc Star thus writes of Wyatt Aiken, om immediate Representative lu the Fifty Eighth Congie?*?: wifAlT AIKEN. The name of Aiken is an old and hon< o red one in the House of Representa tives. For ten years the Third Dis Hot of South Carolina wa? represented by D. Wyatt Alkea. Now, after a lapse ol years, the son. Wyatt Aikeu, "Democrat, of Abbeville,'' comos to AU tho seat that wa? bl? father's. Mr. Aiken come? tc Washington well equipped for a legisla tivo oareer, although this is the first pul? Ho office he has ever hold. He ia fully acquainted with Washington, however, having spent much of lils time here when his father was in Congress and having since been a frequent visitor. Ile ls known to the men who have been in Congress for long uerms, to the oldei correspondents and attaches of the JI ouiio, and is not hy . ny moans strange to Congressional customs and pai l i amen tai y procedure. The new Representativo Aiken gives his vooatlon as "farmer," and doola roe he has always beeu suoh. He was boru December 14, 1808, ami was reared on ? t ai t lu Abbeville county, South Carolina, In the seotion now embraced in Green wood oounty.- He received a common school .?ducatiou atCokosbury and after ward lu Washington, where he came when bis father waselooted to the House. While in this oity Mr. Aiken acquired shorthand, his efforts in this direction quiokly b oaring fruit, for in January, 1884, he was appointed official court re porter for the Second Judicial Ciroult oi his native State. A year later he waa appointed to a similar position on the Eighth Circuit, a position he ha? since held. Notwithstanding his connection with the courts in this official oapaoity, Mr. Aiken did not relinquish the title of farmer. Ho took theu and takes now a keen Interest in everything pertaining tu agrioulturo, aud ls sure to provo a stanch friend to the farmer while in Congress. Whon the war with Spain was declared, the martial spirit of his forefathers took possession of Mr. Aiken, and ho volun teered his services In tho bumble oa paoity of pi i vate ia his home company, the Abbeville Volunteers, which was musterod into the Borvice of the United States at Columbia May 10, 1808. The company booamo known as Company A, 1st South Carolina Hogiment of Infantry. It was not long before Privato Aiken wa? appointed a battalion adjutant by Gov ernor Ellerbe, and during almost the entire time of his service Mr. Aikeu acted as regimental quartermaster. He was musterod out of service with ht? regiment at Columbia, November 10th, 1808. Previous to his recent eleotion to Con gress, Mr. Aiken's noareot approaob tu publie office was as delegate to several State conventions. At the eleotion he received 5,082 votes to 58 cast for his Re publican opponent, John Scott. The territory embraced in th? Panama Republic, recently cut looSe from Colombia, has only 32,380 square miles, and is only a little largor than South Carolina, and has a population of only '285,000. Of course it is not able to stand alone and will have to be propped up by the bayonets of tho United States, This government will soon get tired of that job and will simply take the whole thing, including thc canal, into its possessions. That will bo the conclusion of the whole matter. Safeguard Against Accident. Tho best safeguard against accident is to uso good judgment in directing every act.

He did not hesitate to oall attention to the defeotive methods of Texas farming aa he had observed them and to declare that under them all the money in the United States treasui-y oould not exterminate the boll weevil pest. He advocated better methods Sarticularly deep ploughing. The United tates Government, Mr. Wilson said, had Bpent during this year more than $100, 000 in Texas to help the farmers.
