(Hereafter there will be two more professors. Dr. Loughridge in agriculture, and Engi neer McElroy, of the United States Navy, who has equipped a school of practical mechanics, including lathe- work, planing, wood-work, iron-work etc.) There are in the ent* College five four-year courses nqfl as many two- year courses In each df these chem istry, botany, physics anti physiology have been taught, while geology and astronomy also enter into the longer courses. In three long courses and three short courses the study of agri culture is compulsory for one year, while in the technical agricultural course it is compulsory for two years, and agricultural chemistry for one more. In most of the Agricultural Colleges agriculture is taught one year; in the Mississippi College one year and a third. The riouth Carolina College therefore is more complete in this respect than many others. Since the organization of the Col lege in IStf' an average of forty-three students a year have pursued the year’s course in agriculture. What dot s the study of agriculture proper inefnde? During the first year the following topics are discussed: Soils, organic and inorganic manures, grasses and clovers, meadows and pas tures, crops, rotation of crops, weeds noxious and innocuous, improvement of soils, farm implements and machin ery, farm mads and buildings, domes tic animals, etc. Second year—the students having been drilled in theo retical chefnistry are put into the lab oratory for work. Lectures are given on the chemical constituents of ma nures, theory of the action of manures and best methods of application, classification and improvement of soils, principles of breeding stock and feeding, L.ws of plant life and growth, analysis o.lsoils, fertilizers, etc. The folR.wing are specimens of the kinds of practice problems that have t - !ie tilass from time to tiTil 1 1. “At tlhe present cost per ton of dried blood, cotton seed meal, stable manure, hitrate of soda, etc., find which is clreapest in proportion to the amount of nitrogen supplied.” 2. “Given the market value of nitro gen, phosphoric acid, ete., analyse fertilizer, and determine its that his charge was just.

The preparation of annual reports is now tlie engrossing subject of atten tion in all the Government depart ments here. The object of this annu al industry is to inform Congress what each department has been doing du ring the year, and what work it is hoped will be done next year. The evolution of an annual report of an executive department is an interest ing process. Most of the material for the report is furnished by the subor dinates. The employees supply the facts and statistics, the chiefs of di visions and bureaus add cements and deductions, and a synopsis of the whole is presented to the head of the department. In matters of national importance, as for instance when the opponent of the College who speaks from personal observation, nor do I know any one who, having made an examination, lias failed to mention it in terms of commendation. I know that President McBryde will be most happy to welcome every visitor, and more especially a com mittee of inspection, appointed bj - the Farmers’ Associations. 1 hope such a committee will come and see whether the trustees have so used the “farmers’ ” money as to de feat its objects. Certainly candid and just men will not censure without knowledge. Very truly, R. Means Davis.

B ■jIIOWX f market price per ton.” 3. Two j T ears ago when Furman’s formula was published the class was required to calculate I ha market value of a ton of his compost. 4. A company having offered to ex change 1,000 pounds of cotton seed meal for one ton of seed, the class made a comparison of values and found that the oiler was advantageous. 5. Another published offer was to give 3 tons of acid phosphate, 2 tons of cotton seed meal and 1 ton of kainit for 12 tons of cotton seed. Calcula tion showed that under the first table of values used in South Carolina the offer was not advantageous, hut that under the table now ruling in this State the farmer would gain by the exchange. 6. “In what proportions must cot ton seed meal, peavines and oats straw be fed together to a fattening ox to secure most economical results?” Such problems as the last are based on tables tested for thirty years in Germany, showing the relative amounts of albuminoids, fats and car bohydrates required to keep live stock at rest, or at work, or fattening. The full course of chemistry lasts four years, and includes quantitative analysis of soils, fertilizers, etc. A student has stepped from the labora tory right into a good position in the office of a leading chemist in Charles ton. Others have made analyses for fertilizer companies and received pay for them. This is an evidence of good work. Botany is much neglected in the .South, but in the College it is made practical. During the latter part of the course, the student is required to analyse and name unknown plants and weeds. Some students have made several hundred analyses each, and are good practical botanists. The analysis of seeds is also requir ed. So many seeds are adulterated nowadays that it is very important to test the purity of the sample in order to know how much to plant to the acre. But 1 cannot elaborate further. Besides class room work President McBryde has conducted on an average one hundred and lifty experiments a year in cotton, grain, grasses, «kc. Much material has been accumulated, but in order to secure accuracy, he has preferred to wait for the results of three years continued experiments in duplicate, changing the plots each year to get rid of any effect from dif- ferenee in soil, <S:c. In cotton, for instance, every plot is measured mathematically—two plots are given to each kind of seed. The number of plants are counted, allow ance is made for missing hills, the av erage is then corrected and compared for several years, and the general av erage is thus secured. I will merely imuition that n three years’ series of experiments ! n eoltoii ! -bows that one w. il-known brand ha- j unifoimly showed a superior yield oi j lint, averaging about f-nty pounds o: lint lor every hundred pounds of seed. On a crop of six hundred thou-and bales in this .State this j would make a gain of forty-eight j thousand bales over the yield of other | seed, which, at nine cents, woul 1 give j an increased value of two million dol lars a year to the cotton product u the State. A Favorable Report on the Amend ments to the Book of Common Pray er—An Attempt to Remedy the Growing Evils of 111 Considered Marriages and Easy Divorces. Chicago, October 12.—The House of Deputies of the Protestant Episco pal Church began its sixth day’s ses sion this forenoon. The committee on cannons submitted a report, recom mending that no church edifice be consecrated while any debt rests upon it. The committee also ask that the question of the consecration of color ed people to the Espicopaey he referred to the committee on the constitution. After considerable discussion the re port was placed on the ealandar. A messenger from the House of Bishops reported that the Bishops had decided, the House of Deputic s concur ring,that there is no constitutional ob stacle to the consideration and adop- tiop of theseveral additions and altera tions in the Book of Common Prayer proposed to the General Convention of 1883. A similar report was present ed on behalf of the joint committee on liturgical revision of the House of Deputies. Referred to the committee on constitutional amendments. The Rev. Dr. Benjamin Franklin of New Jersey, read the unanimous re port of the joint committee on mar riage and divoret appointed by the General Convention of 1883. It em bodied a new cation which contained several stringent modifications of the existing canon ; ,on marriage and di vorce. The proposed new canon pro vides that no marriage of any person under eighteen years of age shall be solemnized unless the parents or guar dians be present; that divorce can only be recognized or granted on the ground- f adnlfatv the guilty pprson being forbidden to marry during the life-time of the person from whom he or she was divorced. The proposed canon forbids the remarriage of di vorced persons under certain circum stances and provides for penalties to be imposed up6n the clergy for any non-observance of the strict letter of the canon, Mi\J. Bancroft Davis, of Maryland, presented a resolution providing for a joint committee of three Bis hops, three clerical and three lay del egates, to consider the duty of the Church in work among the colored people of the United States. Mr. Stosenberg, of Indiana, offered an amendment requiring the committee so appointed to consider and report the best practicable method of prose cuting the proposed work, and also to draft a canon to place the plan up on a permanent basis. The amend ment also provided that the commit tee should subfiiit its report, and that it be made the special order for next Monday. The tesolution as amended was unanimously adopted. The Rev. B. A. Roger’s, of Texas, offered a resolution providing that the missionary jurisdiction of the Church he extended so as to include work among the colored people of the Unit ed States. Laid on the table for fu ture reference. The Rev. Mr. Carstensen, of Pitts burg, offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a joint com mittee to report some' plan by which the work of evangelists may be offi cially recognized.

If farmers universally kept account with their land, charging each field with cost of cultivation, and crediting it with the net sales of product over cost of marketing, they would be sur prised at the amount of land that did not pay expenses. It is this waste land, as it might be called, that is the great draw back to successful fann ing. In an extensive acquaintance with farmers in a good agricultural district, a shrewd observer remarked that he did not know any farm of more than lifty acres where every acre paid expenses; on most farms of 100 or more all the profit, where there is any, is made from ten to twenty acres. In other words, these farmers would be practically better off, so far as profit is concerned if they had half or a quarter as much land as they possess. With the smaller area they should have more working capital per acre, and this the sale of their super- lluousland would give. It often happens that poor spots in otherwise fertile fields destroy ail chance of profit, and compel the lar- mer to work them at a loss. How many places are there this year where rains after seeding spring grain have drowned out the crop, thus losing the use of the ground, labor and seed in plowing and sowing, all of which has to be made up from the more profita ble parts of the farm. Wore it not for these drawbacks, farmers nee 1 not ; 1 tse money even at prevailing low 1 Pli'WS. Most farm I for several y his policy in regard to the coinage of silver, he must consult with the Pres ident. The President’s message gives an epitome of the department reports, which is sometimes furnished by the heads of the departments, and occa sionally the President prepares it himself from the data he has culled. The messages of President Hayes had little originality. They were largely made up of abstracts of department reports, with a discussion of a few special subjects. President Arthur wrote the greater part of bis messages himself, and Mr. Cleveland does the same. The President’s message is no longer, it is claimed, of much conse quence in directing legislation, ex cept as it may bo taken as the an nouncement of the policy of the polit ical party of which he is the represen tative. Mr. Cleveland’s last reception was one of the largest ever held in tlu East Room in Summer. Over five hundred people shook hands with the President. Among them was a large excursion from North Carolina. One old gentleman approached the Presi dent and smilingly said ‘Tar Heel, sah: glad to see you, sah.’ A num ber of children were with the excur sionists, and Mr. Cleveland seemed to exert himself to pay them special attention. It seems that the good examole set by Mr. Benedict, the new Public Print er, will be followed by other depart ments here. It is reported that thers is soot to be a thorough re-orgauiza tion of the Treasury Department un der the direction of the Assistant Sec retary Thompson; and it is belieYed that when Secretary Whitney re turns, he intends to make a number of changes iri his department. it may not be generally kncfwu. that, of all the foreign legations resi ding here, the British is the only one that owns its legation building. The other ministers with their suites reni houses or flats, or board. The build ing where the British Minister re sides is a hospitable looking, old fash ioned mansion, situated ou Connec ticut Avenue, the most fashionab’e street in the city. The building, with the ground on which it stands, is in a certain sense British territory, and untaxable by the United rflates. Minister Romero now intends t > build a house to be used exclusively by legations from Mexico. The house will be located ou I street, about four squares from the Executive Man sion. •?lie* Japanese losrntiyn rents p bright red brick building just across the street from the house Secretary Lamar has recently leased.

The Chinese of the Legation here are of the gentry and nobility of the Flowery Kingdom- and both in dress, manner, and ap pearance they are very superior to the laundry Chinamen, so frequently seem.

Master Workman Meynardie Unex pectedly Returns fYoni Richmond and Cannot be Seen. Augusta Evening News, October 13th. The sudden and unexpected return of Master Workman Meyuardie from the Knights’ Convention in Rich mond, before its adjournment, is a bomb shell to the local Knights. His physician, Dr. Sally, with whom he re sides, reports him critically ill,and the fact that noone has seen him since his arrival nonplusses the Knights, who do not know what to do. His physi cian says he acted like an excited or intoxicated man on his return, but as Mr. Meyuardie abhors liquor he b fearful of brain excitement and possi biy fever. He says Mr. Meyuardie must be kept quiet for a week. Tins puts the Knights at sea, as they do not know what to do here Master Workman Meynardie lias been their absolute leader, and it is thought that his worry about the mill troubles has tired his brain with fever. More than Three Weeks nt Sea und More than Two Weeks at the Mercy of the Wind and Waves, the Steering Gear Being Useless—Seven Hundred People on Board —Two Births and two Deaths During the Voyage—A Safe Arrival at Iiast. St. .Toils,s, N. F., October 11.—The Anchoria has arrived here in tow. The passengers and crew are all well. The steamer A nchoria, Capt. Small, left Glassgow on the 18th of Septem ber, bound for New York. She had 700 souls on board, including passengers and crew. On September 22, four days later, u strong gale sprang up and a heavy sea struck tlie ship, and in the lurch which she made the shuflof the propeller was broken. At the time of the accident the ship was in lat. 50.19 north and long. 39 west. She was reckoned to be about 1,-90 miles west of Ireland. The shock occasioned by the breaking of the shaft threw the ship ou her side and strewed glassware and other ar ticles over the decks^ Many of the passengers were frightened, but upou the officers assuring them that there was no danger of sinking a pauio was averted and order restored. Sails were set and the ship became somewhat steadier, but the rudder gear being useless she drifted about at the mercy of the waves from tlie 22d of September, to Wednesday, October 6, efforts in the meanwhile being made daily to repair the broken shaft. On October 6, the engineers effected temporary repairs and the ship was once more got under control, but soon afterwards the shaft broke again, this lime beyond all prospect of repair. A consultation was held by the officers .md the exact position of the ship was ascertained. It was found that she was eighty miles off the coast of New foundland. As provisions were run ning short, the first officer and seven others volunteered to launch a bout and make for the coast. The first officer was instructed to secure the services of a steamer if the boat reached St. John’s. On Friday the ship make little head way, and the expected steamer did not come on that day nor during the following night. On Saturday at noon, however, the glad cry of “land” rang through the ship. Another vol unteer crew was enlisted, consisting tiffs time wholly of passengers, who pulled toward shore. Both boats reached land safely, but the steamer which was sent to the Anc/ioria’s re lief did not find her, and the latter had nearly r^Tehed port before she was seen and taken in tow by another vessel. There were two deaths and two births on board during the voyage. Tlie Indebtedness of Edgefield.

A large proportion of; the loans, however are not due this, year. Four fifths of the liens for advances.- are secured by mortgages on persouak property. This is a bad showing but is there no remedy? We think there is. First,what i« the cause? One politician will tell you it is the false financial pol icy of the Administration. Another perhaps will tell you that the farmer’s misfortunes are duo to the extrava gance and general mismanagement of our own State Administration. Neither of these theories is the cor rect one. The cause lies much nearer to each mau’s own door. And happi ly, too, the remedy lies at the same place. The Monitor has pointed itout many times and oft, and it is necessa ry to repeat it here. We will say this, that the farmer who waits for the ‘‘Farmers’ Movement” to lift him out of ihe wildnemess will die in despair. The article which we copy from the American Agriculturist will give you hints which if adopted, will be worth more to you than a thousand agricul tural (political) conventions. At least this is the opinion of the Moni tor. ' \ A Square Contest Sought. Savannah News, The capitalists of New York city want to have a fair and square tussle with workingmen. They have put forward Mr. Simmons, an ex-Presi- dent of tlie Stock Exchange, for Mayor, and propose to back him with their millions. The workingmen’s candidate is Mr. George. If the Dem ocrats do not make a nomination tlie race between Mr. Simmons and Mr. George will afford a pretty fair oppor tunity to test the voting strength of the adherents of labor and the adher ents of capital. There may be some workingmen who will not vote for Mr. George because he is a pronounced freetrader, because of his peculiar ideas respect ing property,*but the few votes he will lose on account of his opinions will be more than offset by the votes of those not classed with workingmen who approve of his opinions. The capitalists and property holders generally fear that the election of Mr. ' leorgc w ill give n:i impetus to Social ism and anarchism in New York city that would speed ly bring about n very troublesome condition of attain*. They propose, therefore, to see wUh! money can do towards giving tho Henry George movement a orusbiug defeat. forms of Socialism, and radicalimu.
