What Aiken r.eeds more than any thing else—and it is a want felt in many places in South Carolina—is unity of purpose and action. Our people are ready enough to enter in dividually into more or less plausible undertakings that promise immediate returns, but are loth to come together and act as a unit in advancing mat ters of importance that will be of great advantage to the place in the future. The grow’th of Aiken is said to be steady. There is no doubt of that. Anyone who buys property here at a reasonable value and holds it for a few years can get his money back, with a fair profit in addition. Every year ten or a dozen new houses are built in the town; and the place is gradually increasing in size and pop ulation. In climate and location Aiken has advantages that are possessed by very few other places in the country. With united and well directed efforts on the part of our people, the place can be made one of the most largely patronized and attractive of the edu cational centres and health resorts. Every now and then it is stated that capitalists, or parties of capital ists at the North, are investigating different sections at the South with a view to the investment ot money in some enterprise. Now what have we in Aiken done to attract the attention of these people? With the exception of the limited circulation of a few hand-books to people who already know all about the place, some hotel circulars and copies of the local pa pers, almost nothing. What we need in Aiken is an or ganization that will undertake to push forward the town, to advertise it, to give particular information to strangers seeking it, and also to con centrate the spasmodic efforts of our people in the several enterprises that are needed so much here. Such an organization, whether it be called an improvement company, or anything else, would be of incalculable benfit; and if it is 'well organized and intel ligently directed, would soon double the population of the place. preserves. Now is the time for them to return to it. They will not prob ably have such a good opportunity for several years again. When pre serves are not desired the fruit mav be dried; but in any event much of it can be saved, and it will come in most acceptably at times when fresh fruit can not be had. Horses Unhitched. Agricultural Colleges. The Clemsou Will case will proba bly be in the Courts for some years to come. In this fact lies the temporary saft ty of our people. Before it is set- i Mir—nut ■ A practice prevails to a considera ble extent in Aiken, as in most small towns, that is fraught with consider able danger to life and personal prop erty. We allude to that of allowing horses to stand unhitched in the streets. We believe that this is con trary to the Town ordinance, and oc casionally some party is reported for the offense. But every instance can not be noticed, and the people them selves should appreciate the danger of the practice, and for their own good be more careful. Every once in a while a gentle horse that is left standing unhitched becomes fright ened from some unexpected occur rence, and starts off, ending in a run away and smash up. Of course only those horses are left standing unhitch ed that are known to be gentle and have been trained to stand; and tnese will always remaiu quiet until they run off from some unexpected fright. It is usually the unexpected that hap pens and has to be particularly guard ed against. To be sure it is seldom that an accident of the kind happens, but there are cases every once in a while, and if people exercised due care there would be none. The cause of this careless practice is to be found principally in the lack of appreciation of the danger in the public mind. If it were always taken for granted that in a town no horse may be trusted alone unhitched, there would be more safety for all members of the community. Perhaps a Chance. We clip from an exchange the fol lowing advertisement, which we re publish for the benefit of those of our readets who may be interested: “Correspondence Solicited.— We will furnish all the machinery for a cotton spinning mill of 1,000 spin dles to be located at any good point in the South, and take stock in the mill for the whole of the machinery. J. N. Trainer, Patterson Mill Co., Chester, Pa. We know nothing about Mr. Train er, but possibly there may be some thing in this. There are any quantity of mill sites in this State, and partic ularly in Aiken County, and corre spondence on the subject may result in something. The President has appointed Robt. Smalls, colored, Collector for the Port of Beaufort. The Hon. Geo. D. Tillman deliver ed the address before the scholars of the Female College at Greenwood on State will be so well informed on the subject that they will repudiate the whole business and refuse to be sad died with such a seven to six impo sition. No evidence has yet been adduced to show that purely agricultural col leges have been of service to the far mers proportionate to the expendi tures. At this moment there is being prepared at the Department of Agri culture in Washington a report which will give an account of the progress of education in agricultural schools and colleges. This report will state that the purposes for which such in- stituiions were established in the States lias not been realized. The colleges do not educate men for the farms, but for professions, and the tendency of their teachings has been to draw young men from the farms instead of fitting them for work on them. The curriculum in most cases is too extensive for the average farm er’s sou to undertake, and in most cases also the expenses are too great for the average farmer’s son to meet. The consequence is that the class for whom the colleges were designed have received absolutely no benefit from their existence. These are the statements made by tiie superintendent of the Govern ment experimental stations. The farmers of our State doubtless have much to learn, and they have a right to be afforded every facility for learn ing their business; but until it is demonstrated that advantages have been received from purely agricultu ral colleges, commensurate with the expenditures, it is well for our people to go slow about accepting the Clem- son glorification imposition. Fruit in Plenty—Save It. This is a great fruit year, in fact 1889 promises to become one of note fvr the abundant crop of peaches. The crop has readied the great mar kets in such abundance that the prices have declined so that the fruit does not fetch the freight paid. Some of our farmers who had hoped to realize hafidsomcly from their crop have ceased to pick it, as they can find no sale to compensate for the trouble. This state of tilings is very discoura ging, ai d must result in heavy losses to the growers. The crop of peaches is overwhelming Other fruit is in proportion, although the berry crop was injured and put backward by the drouth. Now the question is, why can not something else be done with the fruit besides shipping it? Formerly’ it was universally the custom throughout! the South for housekeepers to preserve 1 enough fruit in summer to last through the winter and spring. We have not had a full fruit crop for sev eral years, and. we fear that our peo ple have got out of the good practice j of putting up abundant supplies of Mr. Wm. H. Hayne, the son of the late Mr. Paul H. Hayne, the poet, of Charleston, has recently accepted the position of literary editor of the Richfield News, of Richfield Springs, N. Y. Mr. Hayne will remain in Charleston and do his work from that city. There are four wants sorely felt in Aiken, that of a good public school building, a new hotel, water works, and a public cemetery. When will these wants be supplied? What is everybody’s business is nobody’s bu siness. and we are afraid this is what is the matter. Judge McLain, president of the Sa vannah Savings Institution, which failed Wednesday last, was arrested Saturday for receiving deposits, knowing the bank was insolvent. The liabilities of the bank are $85,000, assets over $150,000. Only $80 were found in the safe. Upon the return of the corporators of the Abbeville Cotton Seed Oil and Fertilizer Company’, a certificate of charter been issued by the Secretary of State. The entire amount of the capital stock, $20,000, has been sub scribed, over 20 per cent, has been paid in, and directors and other offi cers elected. A commission has been issued to the Florence Light ami Power Com pany, of Florence, S. C. The pur poses of the company are to produce, generate, manufacture and supply light, power . or heat, all or either of them, by’ means of electricity, gas, steam, water or hot air. The capital stock is $10,000, divided into 1,000 shares. Better than Blue Grass and Clover. the cost, ninety pounds more of flesh.” This authority declares that cottou seed hulls “will produce better and bigger results, as a food for cattle and sheep than all the clover and blue grass of Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio,” and fwill enable farmers to “compete with beef raised on the Western plains, and to undersell every piece of mutton or beef that grazes on blue grass or clover.” The devel opment of the stock raising industry in Georgia next year, in consequence of the discovery of the value of cotton seed bulls for feeding purposes, says the same farmer, “will be tremen dous,’’ and the Constitution confirms the prediction. The hulls of the - cotton seed have been used as fuel by the cotton oil mills heretofore, but promise to be come now one of the most important of their products. The discovery of the value <5f the hulls, at any rate, assures an additional source of in come to the mills, and makes them still more usefulto the communities in which they are located. It has been shown in the News and Courier that less than one-fourth of-the seed product of South Carolina was con sumed in all the large mills that were in operation last year. It is evident, therefore, that there is room In the State for double the number of small mills that are now established and E rojected, and one or more should be uilt as soon as practicable in every county that is not already provided with at least one such mill.

The Atlanta Constitution publishes some information in regard to the use of cotton seed hulls for feeding stock, which will be of interest to the farm ers and owners of cotton seed oil mills in South Carolina, and which should double the number of such mills within a few years. An Atlanta firm, sa3’s the Constitu tion, fattened 5,300 beeves last year on cotton seed hulls from the oil mills, at a profit of $20,000. Two train loads of these beeves were shipped from Atlanta te Philadelphia and sold there in competition with Chicago beef. The same firm will fatten 10,000 steers next winter. Mr. Joel Chandler Har ris, of Atlanta, who is an authority on stock raising, feeds his herd ot Jerseys on cottou seed hulls, and says that “the result in milk, butter aud beef is amazing.” Mr. W. M. Towers of Rome writes of an experiment with corn, cotton seed meal, and cot- ; ton seed hulls, in which the hulls produced by far the best results. A practical farmer has also told the Constitution of a test which he made recently ou a small scale, the results ! of which confirmed all that lias been said regarding the value of :he new feed. One of two steers was fed, in j this experiment, “on all the shelled corn and wheat straw he would eat;” J the other was fed on cotton seed hulls j and meal, and “gained, at one-third named Defendant, to wit: I. —All that Lot, Piece or Parcel of Land, with the buildings and im provements thereon, situate, lying and being in the Town of Gruiiite- ville.
