Sam Jones Sloan, the 3-year-old grandson of the late Sam P. Jones, to be turned over to Its grandmother, Mrs. Sam P.

Tho affair has created a sensa tion hero. Mrs. Sloan has been stay ing at the home of Mrs. Sam Jones ?ince the evangelist's death, and was apparently on good terms with the family, although he and his wife were said to bo estranged. He is said to have told his wife that he xvas going to a football game be tween Cartersvllle and Cedartown, and would carry little Sam Jones with him. Later Investigation was made and it was found that he had obtained u buggy from a livery stable. Ile was Intercepted at Dallas, Qa., just as he was attempting to board a train. Parties immediately left here for Mr. Sloan and brought him and the Child to the city, but not until after a brief legal skirmish at Dallas.

' THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW. The I>epartment of Agriculture Now Giving Valuable Information. Westminster, Jan. 3.-Editors of Keowee Courier: In a conversation with a gentleman from a neighbor ing county he said, "If I wanted to know of the resources of any county in South Carolina I would write to the Secretary of Agriculture, Hon. James Wilson. Washington, D. C., for the desired information." The great volume of information sent out by the Department of Agricul ture enables one of limited means to get an agricultural education with the smallest outlay of capital possi ble. It is a mooted question why there is not more interest taken by the people in the efforts of the De partment to enlighten them in the various phases of farra life. The rural free deliyery o. our malls at our doorr has done much, as an educational ?actor, in relieving the monotony of our isolated homes. The various circular sent out by the De partment on the different branches of agriculture give valued informa tion to those who will read them, and saves many unwise experiments by the private individual. We find that the organization of the farm ers' institutes throughout almost every State in the Union has aroused much enthusiasm in the advance ment of institute work, and will be the means of imparting much practi cal information to the farmers. We have near us a great stimulus to this work, Clemson College. I fear we do not rightly appreciate the location ' of the college In our county. We complain, but do nd and see. I know there is ul ways An invitation extended by the president and his as sociate* "Come and see." Prof. J. N. Harper, the director of Clemson Experiment station, has done and is doing much to promote the efficiency of the work, and the many short and concise circulars sent out from Clem son by his direction are calculated to do much good. Oconee county ls In debted to his Influence In securing the topographical survey of the coun ty by Mr. McLendon, civil engineer, a native of South Carolina, a gradu ate of Clemson, belonging to the Civil Engineer Corps of the United States. This survey will give all the streams and roads,, also will select a sample each of the different grades of soil In the county and forward them to the Department at Washing ton .or analysis; also will make a complete soil survey of tho Clemson farm, showing every variety of soil on the whole farm. AfLer all the field work ls completed he will make a complete map of the county, and give much valued information con cerning the farm products, the fertil ity and possibilities of the soil, farm labor and other kindred subjects. Mr. McLendon has been engaged in this work nearly five months, and will be enabled to make an interest ing report of his labors. His work was done very quietly and at times under many difficulties. Many, not knowing his business, civilly inform ed hir. "this land ls posted," but to day the work is nearly completed, and soon we will be able to secure a well prepared map of our county. Mr. McLendon was assisted partly by Mr. Latlmer, a relative of Senator Lattraer, and much of the time by his faithful wife, who was one of the P. P. V's. Therefore the county should feel under many obligations to them for their faithfulness at their work, and also to Prof. Harper for his kindly Interest in securing the service of the government in our behalf.
