FARMERS' EXTENSION SCHOOLS To Ho Held By Clemton-"Travel lng Car" Eliminated. Columbia, May 7.-Two farmers' extension schools will be held by Clemson College this summer. These schools are somewhat different from the well-known '.traveling car" schools tn that the stands are for longer periods than one da> In the various communities visited. Prof. D. N. Barrow, head of the department of agriculture at Clem son College, has Issued the following notice as to the schools: lt ls planned this summer hy Clem son College to hold two farmers' ex tension schools. These extension schools have been held In a number of the Western States for several years, and have proven quite popu lar with the people. Tho extension school may be considered as some what in tlie nature of a continued institute, the difference being that Instead of holding an Institute at a point for one day, during which time speeches are delivered on a dozen or more different subjects, that the In stitute corps remains in a commu nity for a pelrod varying from three to six days. During that time regu lar class work ls held and practical inst ructions given on subjects of im mediate interest to the people. Clemson College believes that lt ls a college for the whole people, that it has even a higher mission than just educating future generations, and that it should strive to benefit the present generation. It ls Impos sible for those who are engaged In active farming to attend college. Therefore, the college, lo a certain extent, will attempt to go to the peo ple by holding these extension schools at different points for a week or more at a time, and a great many farmers can be ben? 'Ked who other wise would not be able to attend school at Clemson College. These extensions have proven of Immense value in the States in which they have been adopted, not only to the people, hut also as a means of acquainting the .people with the col lege. The fact of personal acquaint ance bs a very great confidence breeder, and when the farmers of the State have learned to know the fac ulty of their State college personally their confidence In their ability to teach is very much Increased. Should these two extension chools prove a success lt is hoped to hold others over the State. There is re ally no reason why these schools should be held simply In summer, lt might he possible to bold them nt different limes during the whole year, and in this way n great many mort? farmers could be reached. Among the subjects that it is planned to treat in a practical way nt these schools ar?' the selection of seed, ainl how io judi? good crops. Practical instruction will Im glv?>n in the judging and storing of the ordi nary crops raised upon the farm, and those attending the schools will be shown just bow these crops can he Improved by selection, A large amount i I this work will be given right in the Held. This will be sup plemented by a certain amount of class room work. The subject of commercial fertilizers, how to usc them and how to mix them for the various crops? will also receive ? lose attention. How to use Improved Im plements, and their economy and their J Ivantages, will also receive at tention. lt ls possible also that the dairy Industry will be taken up, and practical Instruction will b?> given in th?? care of milk and manufacture of butter. Also advise as to how to handle (bis milk und care of the dalrj barn and how to feed for the best results. Another pola i to which it is de sired to K?V?' considerable amount of attention Is the subject ol soil Im provement. There is no question more pertinent to the South to-day than how to build up our worn-out soils, and this subject will !><> treated In as offective a way as possible, lt ls not expected or desired that the attendance upon these schools will be in the nature of n holiday; only those are expected lo attend it who have an earnest desire to learn. ll ls nundi better thal one or two dozen good farmers shall be taught these subjects thoi'OUghl* than (bat there should be an attendance of two or Hine hpndrcd, each one only .tur ing a sinai toting. lt is believed that the tanners of South Carolina will appreciate the wisdom of establishing these schools and will not hesitate to take advant age thereof. < alai rh < 'annot he < 'tired with local applications, as they can not reach the seat of the disease.

May 7.- A bul let, which lodged in the head of Miss Elizabeth Farraghor fourteen years ago. has been found in one of tim woman's feet.

Tillman ?Proctor ls out of jail and he ought to be out, unless a number of others were in, too. What we mean by this ls, there have been other, during the last few years just as guilty as Tillman Proc tor, but who, although indicted by the grand jury and docketed for trial, managed to get up the money to pay up the demands of their per secutors, and so the cases were "set tled," and the solicitor, finding him self without witnesses, had the cases marked ' not. pros." It seems that this has long been the custom, by common consent, and perhaps no one ls specially to blame -only the "custom." Hut lt's not good law. - The very Idea of hauling a man before a magistrate, and, after in vestigation, making bim give bond to appear in the circuit court, then taking up the grand jury's time to find a "true bill" and thea reading his name out as one under indict ment for crime, and all tor the pur pose of collecting a debt, is just sim ply outrageous. If the expensive machinery of the courts is thus to bc turned into a collecting agency, we wish they would take charge of some people who are Indebted to The Standard. Hut think! The crime Hes not lu failure to pay. but antecedes that. When a man gives patters over prop erty that is not his, or disposes of property under mortgage or lien, then he commits the crime, and If a party wants to prosecute such a man for the good of the country he basa right to do lt; but we contend that he has no moral right whatever to prosecute merely for the purpose of collecting a debt due him. If (be writer were a magistrate, when a party brought such proceed ings before him he would have to mean business We would not allow a fellow-man held up as a criminal just for collecting purposes. If all our magistrates would take this view of lt. and act accordingly, lt would save Hie county an enormous ex pense. And this question of expense is an interesting one. The supervisor's ef forts toward economy are commend able, but this is a leak at the bung, in comparison with some spigot wastes that seem to attract atten t lon. Quite a number of cases of this kind have reached the circuit court, and were "settled." r'.ach Involved a warrant, ?in arrest, a preliminary hearing, executing and approving ap pearance bonds, sending up the ;>:; pets, drawing an indictment, inves tigation by the grand jury, reading out "trite bill" with lite party's nanto as a criminal in open court, docket ing the case by the clerk, and attend ance of ?ill parties at court. Including witnesses, in some Instances several times--and all to collect a debt owed by one man to another! When ?i warrant ls issued, who has a right, to stop it until a jury says "not guilty?" Kev.

There Will Ho Total Eclipse June 3. Other Eclipses. Many are Interested in the coining total eclipse of tho moon, which oc curs on the evening of Thursday, June :i. The phenomena may be observed till over the continent it' the sky is clear. In this section the rise of the moon will bo almost normal, and the peo ple may watch the shadow of the earth gradually steal over the lunar body. But further lu the continent, probably on the other side of the M' .tlssippl. the inhabitants will first see and odd looking disc of a faint reddish color rise from the east. When the moon rises here only a narrow portion of lt will be observ ed. Gradually lt will enter deeper and deeper Into the earth's shadow until the moon gives no light and is only barely perceptible. This year the moon does not enter Into the heart of the earth shadow, so there will not be a l>!ne?v eclipse. The moon, however, will bo in the earth's shadow for over an hour, and practically the only light from the heavens will bc that of the stars. The reason why the moon will be Invisible is the influence of the ea th's atmosphere, which bends the sun's rays at tho edges of Illuminat ed hemispheres of this planet, and throws on thc moon a faint glow, generally of a red copper hue. lt results from the absorption In the earth's atmosphere of the green, blue and violet rays that pass through il. lt ls much tho same as the sunset glow, though infinitely nu?re faint. As the phenomenon of the eclipse develops, the children will be able to B36 for themselves the truth of tho statement they learned from their geographies. An eclipse of the sun will be wit nessed a fortnight later, on Thurs day, June 17th, shortly before sun set. The only effect that lt will have ls to send tho chickens to roost an hour or two earlier. The lunar eclipse ls precisely the same as that which saved the lives of Columbus and his party in the Isle of Jamaica in the year l.r>04. Tho natives refused them food. Co lumbus, knowing that ?in eclipse was duo, told them that God was very angry because 01 heir inhospitality ?md would take away the light of the moon. The moment that the natives saw the light going, they rushed to their storehouses and brought out their choicest viands, supplicating the . white angels" to bring back their moon. Columbus handed it back in about an hour. The earliest account of an eclipse was discovered in the tomb of a Chi nese emperor. The date has been fixed by chronologists as January 2'.', 11 :;r. B. c.
