USE IN 1806 A RECORD-BREAKER-BIO I
THING FOR CLEMSON COLLEGE.
Columbia, Ootober 16.-The sale
of fertilizers in South Carolina for
the year now ooming to a olose bas
been larger than in any previous
year. The year bas been a record
breaker. Clemson College has been
the beneficiary of this demand for
fertilizers to a large extent, having
received a larger revenue from this
source than in previous years. Up
to date the inoome to Clemson Col
lege from the privilege tax has ag
gregated ?152,761.66. There re
mains two months and a half in
which this tax will be reooived.
If tut? payuieuis on this account
are exaotly the same as they were
last year for the remaiuiug time the
gross income from the privilege tax
on fertilizers, which goes to Clemson
College, will amount to $166,882.91.
Last year up to the same date the
entire receipts from the privilege tax
amounted to $116,868.28, and the re
ceipts for the year 1905 were $180,
439.58. Up to date for the year
1906 the privilege tax fund for Clem
son College has amounted to $152,
761.66.
Of course, Clemson College also
gets the Morrill, Hatch, Clemson and
other sources of revenue with which
it is prosecuting its fine work. From
the demand for fertilizer tax tags
the income from this source will, for
the year 1906, run very close to tue
$175,000 mark.

Gamblers Drummed Out of Hot Springs.
Memphis, Tenn., Ootober 13.
Forty years of gambling came to a I
spectacular end in Hot Springs, Ark. I
last Mondt'y, when the City Improve
ment Union of 500 oitizens closed
thirty gambling rooms and gave a
battalion of gamesters a few hours to
leave the oity. The manner in whioh
the gamblers were literally drummed
oat of town was sensational ia the
extreme. The entire membership of
the union, beaded by a brass band,
marohed to the City Hall, polioe
headquarters aud Court House, and
foroed the State, county and oity
officials to raid and olose the gam
hiing houses forthwith, the 500 going
along to see that it was done prop
erly. Gamblers were marohed to
the union station and ordered to take
the first train and return no more.

"None for me, thank you.
wouldn't know what to do with
poor man if I won him."
"Stop !" commanded Miss Nurox,
with a disdainful sniff. "The idea
of your proposing to a lady in my
station of life ! You ought to know j
better."
"Well," replied Mr. Hunter, "I do
know better, but no richer."

Ex-Slave in Ontario.
The following is a clipping from
the Detroit News :
Addison Smith, a former slave,
who now lives in Rondeau, Ont.,
and cl ai ii H be is 107 years old, is in
the city to attend a family reunion
at the home of three of his ohildren,
234 Macorab street. The old man is
the father of 29 ohildren and tells
some interesting stories of his ex
periences in the old slave days in the
South. His first wife was sold from
the block and he never saw her
again. He sought solaoe in a second
wife after six years, and though he
was permitted to see her twiflQ a
year, he mnde a bre*.k for ??cd.im
and, after many trials, reached ide
North. He sent for his wife through
an abolitionist, bat she was suspicious
and would not oome north. Finally,
when the old man was 50 years of
age, he married a third time, a girl
16 years old, and 21 children were
born. Ten of these attended the
reunion in Detroit. The old man is
totally blind, but seems to possess
all his other faculties.
Lotter as to School Book?.
State Superintendent of Educa
tioion Martin has issued a circular
letter of instruction to county super
intendents of education, calling at
tention to sections of the text book
contraot. The letter is as follows :
My Dear Sir : Allow me to call
your attention to seotions 6 and 10
of the text book contraot. The pub
lishers agree to take all text books
of any series, or of any edition, in
the bands of pupils in exohange.
The only restriction is that the book
must have been in use during the
year 1006, and of course it must be
of like grade and upon tbe same
subject as the one for which it is
given in part payment. This means,
of course, that books which are in
use in the city schools may be ex
changed. The retail and exohange
prices printed in our bulletin of 16
pages are official.
A careful reading of the contraot
and other matter in the bulletin will
enable you to answer almost any
question whioh may arise.
I hope that you will exercise
supervision over the sub-depositories,
and see thal ihey understand the
contraot. Sincerely yours,
O. B. Martin,
State Supt. Education.

GOBS UND 8?HLK8 YIELD ALCOHOL.
FARMERS WILL NOW BE ABLE UTILIZE
ALL THAT A BRAIN OF CORN PRODUCES.
In the manufaoturo of alcohol
from corn coba and corn stalks at
small cost, the Department of Agri
culture is developing a new industry.
The department says it is likely to
be of large commercial value. In
vestigations which the department is
making at Hoopeston, III., have
proved that the large quantities" of
corn oohs, which every year hereto
fore have gone to waste, oan be con- I
verted into aloohol in sufficient quan
tities to justify the ereotion of a dis
tilling plant in connection with a
corn oannery. The Department of
Agriculture sent two ohemists to
Hoopeston to make experiments at a
large 'oannery there. They have
suoceeded by simple methods of fer
mentation, in getting a yield of
eleven gallons of aloohol from a ton
of green oohs, aud by similar meth
ods in getting six gallons of alcohol
from a ton of green oom stalks. A
statement concerning the experi
ments by one of the scientists of the
department reads:
"At different times during the
past twenty-five years the depart
ment has oondnoted experiments
along the same line, but with com
mon field oom stalks. These tests
show that there aro 240 pounds of
fermentable substanoe in a ton of
green field corn stalks, which will
yield about half of their weight in
absolute alcohol. In round numbers,
a ton of stalks will produce 100
pounds of alcohol'or 200 pounds of
proof spirits. As a gallon of aloohol
weighs nearly seven pounds, there
would be 10 gallons of aloohol in a
ton of stalks.
"Not only are the cobs a waste
product, but the irregular and spoiled
ears of corn are as well. Hand labor
is as yet employed in the husking
and all others are put in as the wage
is based upon a measure full. As
the measures of ears are emptied
upon the oonveyors, the ears unfit
for use are culled out. Tho culled
ears also are waste. The expense of
bringing them to the plant where
they are cast aside is quite as much
as the perfect ears. The addition of
the oom on the cobs adds further to
the possibilities of the alcohol obtain
able from a ton of stalks and cob."

A Negro Lynched by Negroes.
Dallas, Texas, October ll.-An
thony, Davis, a negro, was lynohed
by negroes at Texarkana late Tues
day night. He had been arrested
and bailed on the obarge of assault
ing a 16-year-old negro girl. A mob
of negroes oaugnt him and strangled
him to death with a rope by drag
ging him about a negro settlement
The fact that the local mills have
been paying more than the current
prioe for cotton is evidence that the
mills need cotton, which should give
farmers courage to demand full price
for their crops and to hold them till
they get it.
