SOUTH CAH?UONA COLLEGE. Centennial o! Opening January IO, 1905 Program In Full. Cloaed in 1862, when ita studente were gone to tho battlefield and its buildings were converted into a Con federate hospital, the historic South Carolina College was re-oponed in 1866, now as the University, by Act passed December li), 1805 (anniver sary of the original charter), and young soldiers, returned from the war, flocked to her halls to take up their deferred schoiastio training. Until 1873 the University did a great work, educating such men as Joseph W. Barnwell, Dr. Gyll Wylie, and Prof. H. Means Davis. The dark days of radicalism passed, it was re-opened in 1880, asa College of Agriculture and Mechanics, sup ported by the income of tho Federal land scrip, and in 1882, the Legisla* ture having made an appropriation, and the faculty having been greatly enlarged, it began its now lifo under its distinguished president, Dr. John M. McBryde, who is now so success ful at the head of the Virginia Poly technic and has lately declined the presidency of the University of Vir ginia. In the legislation of 1865, and 1879, and 1881, for the re-open ing of the college after the war, the leader was Charles II. Simonton, a first honor graduate, and, like De Saussure, H ho led in the founding of the college, a great jurist. The semi-centennial was celebra ted December 4, 1854, in connection with the commencement, which be fore tho war was always held in De cember, the session opening in Jan uary ns from tho beginning. Since the Legislature was in session in De cember, and ibero was great pride of State and devotion to the State Col lege, most of the legislators beiug alumni, the commencement was al ways a great State function, the L?g islature attending in a body along with the .lodges and other officers of State. The semi-centennial celebra tion was t hus a great commencement, occasion, at which Dr. James II. Thornwt'l, as president, addressed the graduating class, and James L. Pettigru was centennial orator. How inspiring to evory'wtudont whose for tune it was lo be in the college al that time ! lt so happens that tho time of thi! meeting of the Legis lature having been changed by thc constitution of 1805, falling on the lOih ?lay, the actual cent?n uta! day of the opening of the col lege will witness very much the same scene characteristic of tho antebel lum commencements of the South Carolina College : the Legislature will be present, in tho capital ami (ran attend the celebration in a body, with . I ndges and Slate oHioers, as in th.; days of old. Thus the ceremonies will be the most impressive ever witenssud l>y this generation of South Carolinians. Truly it. will be a privilege to be a stu dont of the South Carolina College in the session of 1004-5, The univorsitms ami colleges of the United States, and especially the colleges and schools within the State, will be invited to semi representa tives, and all living alumni will bel expected to be present. l?'rom New York, Hugh Garden, Dr. Wylie, W.

John Gary Evans hus just returned from an extended trip through Now York and other Northern States, and after a careful study ol' the situation he says that Parker will win in the election next November, when the ballots areoounted out and the result made known. "There are many men who are changing their votes from Roosevelt to Parker," said ex-Governor Kvaus, "but you will not find an instance where a Parker man or a Democrat is intending to vote for Roo^.velt." "The business men of the North do not favor President Roosevelt. He is not the President that a busi ness man would support,"'continued the ex-Governor. "And those of the business mon who do favor Roose velt are doing so in au unenthusiastic ami half-hearted way. Ex-Governor IC vans says that when he reached New York a few weeks ago the bettin_' was '2 co 1 on Roose velt and when he returned to New York the odds on Roosevelt had fal len to lo lo 7. This is one of the best indications of the trend of events, he thinks, and adds that there is no sentiment in betting. When the odds on Roosevelt are tailing off at this rate it means a Cfood deal more than some people imagine. Spartanburg .Journal.

Atlanta, (4a., September 7.-Tin announcement in tho papers thi morning that a Georgia militiamai had refused to salute a negro office at Manassas despite the fact tba the negro fixed a stony stare upo the militiaman, has caused som amusement and a considerabl amount ol' satisfaction at the eapito "I think he did exactly right, said Governor Terrell. "He ought t bo a lieutenant." "Why don't you appoint him o your staff, Governor, to fill the vf caney caused hy the resignation c the Lieutenant Colonel who preside over the Buford indignation mee ?ng?" "The law will not let mo do that, said the Governor. "I am limite under tho new law to thirty, and m staff already exceeds that numbe When ono resigns there is no vacanc and when a new staff is appointed will be limited to thirty."

Benthe /} ?M Kind You Ilaire Alwa/s Bouj J. S. Fowler's Splendid Farming. [Anderson .Mai!. September 6th.] Every farmer io Anderson county who can do so should visit J. S. Fowler's brm, three miles west of tho city, aiid walk through tho cot ton that is growing on the place. There is to be seen some of the finest cotton that ever grew io An derson county. Mr. Fowler bas 500 acres in cotton on thia plantation and couHdently expeots to make 500 bales. Of oourse every acre will not make a bale, but there are many acres that will mako a bale and a half and two bales. There is one field of 20 acres that is particularly fine. Good farmers who havo examined it sa? it will cer tainly make 40 bales, and with favor able conditions through the fall will make 50 or 60 bales. The stalks average nearly as high as a man's head and are breaking down with tho weight of the bolls. On one stalk there were 226 bolls and squares on Sunday, and lhere wore 16 new blooms that day. The rows in this field are five feet in width, and the cotton was thinned to a stand of two feet width in tho drill. Now thu stalks are com pletely lapped and intertwined from row to row. The cotton is what is known as tho "Russell Big Boll" variety, and thc bolls arc unusually largo. With the old variety of cotton, farmers used to estimate that it would take 100 bolls to make a pound of cotton, but with this kind, Mr. Fowler says, 50 bolls will make a pound easily. A walk over the farm, and a con versation with Mr. Fowler at tho same time, will bo interesting and instructive to any man. Mr. Fowler was asked the other day how he made such crops. "Deep plowing is the main thing," he said, "and heavy fertilizing comes next. After you break your land deep in the winter the ret?t comes easy. "Take this field here. I opened furrows 15 inches deep in January, and put stable manure in the fur rows at the rate of two tons to tho acre, and then covered thc furrows. I then let it alone until I got ready to plant, and in bedding I put in commercial fertilizer at thc rate of i 1,200 pounds to the acre. Then there was little to do but lot tito cot ton glow. It received very little plowing and hoeing. Wc had but little rain, but the cotton did not suffer a ?lay, aw thc deep plowing had provided plenty of moisture." On tho road near Mr. Fowler's residence there are 220 acres in cot ton, every acre of which will make more than a bale. Some ot' the other cotton land on the plantation has not yet beim brought up to such a high state of cultivation, but is luring improved each year. "I am trying to demonstrate," said Mr. Fowler, "and at the samt; time make a profit while doing it, \ that the mort; you do for your cotton , land the mon; it will pay. I willi make a prqlit of 4100 an acre on a good deal of cotton land, and the cost of the fertilizers will be not more than $25 to the aero And the seed, sohl at regular prieef, will pay for the fertilizers." Mr. Fowler this year rai 25 plows on this place, having about 700 acres in cultivation. He has about 120 Consumption The only kind of consump tion to fear is " neglected consumption." People arc learning that con sumption is a curable disease. It is neglected consumption that is so often incurable. At the faintest suspicion of consumption get a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and begin regular doses. The use of Scott s Emulsion at once, has, in thousands of cases, turned thc balance in favor of health. Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul sion is. Prompt usc of Scott's Emul sion checks the disease while it can be checked. Send for free sample. SCOTT * BOWN bf Chemist, 409-41} Pearl Strtet, Nt? Y. r*. j-? II..I f, >.?.; all Ariigfiit?. I aeres in corn and about 70 acres in : grain and forage. On the whole plantation he counts on making $1,000 worth of produce from each mule, and those who have been over the plantation believe he will do so. He bas Bold his cotton crop at a price that will yield 10 cents net. He sold Borne at lt?? cents, delivered in Anderson, and some more at ic. on the New York Exobange. This will give him $50 net per bale. "This is the finest farming country in tho world," Mr. Fowler says. "All that is needed is for the people to study their lands, and their methods of farming, and they can grow rich. No bank, or cotton mill, or store in Anderson county will yield as good a profit on the money invested as a farm will when it is properly man aged. The great trouble with many of our people is that the) farm me chanically, without studying. Brains are needed on a farm more than anywhere else in this wide world, and a man can turn his brains to better advantage on the farm than anywhere else." Mr. Fowler has always made good crops on this plantation, but the crops are better this year than ever before. Many people have been over the plantation, and all who have seen it are wonderfully im pressed "by it. Healthy Mothers. Mothors should always koop in good bodily health. They owo it to their children. Vet it is no unusual sight to seo a mother, with babo in arms, cough ing violently and exhibiting all tho symp toms of a consumptive tendency. And why should this dangerous condition exist, dangerous alike to mother and child when Dr. Bosohee's German Syrup would put a stop to it at ouco? No mother should bo without this old and tried remedy in the house-for its timely use will promptly cure auy lung, throat or bronchial trouble in herself or her chil dren. Tho worst cough or cold can ho speedily cured by Gorman Syrup; so can hoarseness and congestion of the bron chial tubes. It makes expectoration easy, and gives iuetant relief and refreshing j rest tn the cough-racked consumptive. j Newtrial bottles, 25c; large size, 7">c. At ! all druggists. Burglars Make Big Haul. Winston- Salem, September 7. Burglars made a raid on Yadkinville, Yadkin county, laHt night. They blew open the safe of County Treasurer Logan, in his store, and secured between $4,000 and $8,000. The safe in the post otlice was also blown open and over $800 taken. The burglars secured tools from a blacksmith shop in town. A $2,000 reward has been offered for the cap ture of burglars and money. Advice to the Aged. Age brings infirmities, such as slug gish beweis, weak kidneys and blad der and TORPID LIVER.

Whether the game bo worth the camile is the question which suggests itself in connection with the military maneuvers begun at Manassas last week. The cost of the ten days of mimic warfare in which 26,000 regu lars and militia are now engaged will amount to $1,000,000 or therea bouts. The ladies in evening gowns and the officers in full dress, who will gather in the mess tents of bri gade and division commanders at the close of each day's battle, will doubt less have a good time. Some Gene rals whose entire military education has been obtained at the desk may gain a modicum of experience in thc employment of skirmish lines, and some militiamen who never saw a camp kettle may learn to cook a stew. But the acting together tem porarily of two bodies of troops with widely different training and distinct organizations, who owe obedience to no common authority and who under no conceivable circumstances will ever act as a unit in a real campaign, can be of little advantage to either. The maneuvers are nothing but an expensive and amateurish manifesta tion of Jingoism. - Philadelphia Record. mEYSHONEMLAR Ours?
