The Columbia Record says "Thos E Miller will remain at the head of sne State Colored college at Orange burg, as is the wish of every white and colored friend of that institution, which was. born in his brain, given life through his work and made asua* oess by his untiring and unceasing ef forts. This result was arrived at Thursday at a meeting of the trus tees of that institution, at which ever; member but cne was present. "The tru^ees without exception requested President Miller to with draw his resignation, which he did, oeoause be was n quested to do so by white and colored people in nearly ev ery county of the state. He made his nVht for high morality in schools, schools, but, regardless of the conduct of the two women teach ers, their wblte friends in Cbar lestcn requested their retention aud the <,runtes9 yielded to this pres sure from' Charles;on and retained them. '1 P. Col dent Miller said that he felt that he owed something to the two races whloh had betn ho loyal to the institution and himself In the past ten years, hence he yielded to their rf q lest. He thanks every newspaper in che state, white and colored, that has sustained him in this fight, and will continue to do his very best for the Interests of the bohool as long as he is at its head. To the Defeated. The Times and Democrat extends its sympathy and condolence to every candidate who failed to get elected. Politics has its lights and shadows? mostly shadows. The man who wir?, at the primary earns his honors, and may the L >rd have meroy on the man who loses. Yet it cinnot be question ed that often the man who loses 1b the winner. The winner ought to b? a goodSamaritan and the looser ought to kesp his lips closed. It is hard for the man who triumphs to suppress exultation; it is difficult for the van quished to conceal his wound. The victor alone is worthy of praise who knows how to be generous. The de feated alone deserve sympatty wbo know how to suffer in silence. Tnis Is true not only in war, but in poli tics. Grant never boasted his achieve ments; Lee never paraded his sorrows; McLlnley received his honors without Doastlng. It takes more courage to iurvive wounds of defeat than to rracefully wear the crown of aorquer er. ?WjP'm&T&AGMSL. SOME ADVIGE TO PARENTS OF SCHOOL) CHILDREN. Which, if Followed, Will Help to Hake School Work lasier for All. We demand, says the New York American, on behalf of tbe fobool children and tbe school teachers of to-day, that mothers and fathers co operate willingly and intelligently in the work that the school teachers have to do. There If much talk, in homes, of the school teachers' short-comings. There is far too much readiness to listen to tbe stories of children excus ing their own poor work with criti cism of teaohers. The matter Is most serious. Tbe teaoher cannot possibly do his best work and give tbe best results unless tbe parents co-op?rato with him in telligently. Let us consider what the duty of parents is, and what the teachers have a right to expect. Fathers and mothers know what an atroolous tb.ng a spoiled child Ig. Y :u pity tbe father and mother that must control one spoiled child. Don't fail to pity the sobool teacher who is ex pected to control, by kindness and In telligence exclusively, adcz;n or more spoiled ohildren. Tbe first thing for you fathers and mothers is to see to it that you do not iend spoiled ohildren to the sohools Rjmcmber that the most intelligent, conscientious, devoted teacher can see all of his work made useless by overpettlng of a child or foolish sev erity with a child. Fathers and mothers In America demand, properly, that a teacher shall not strike a child. They should Bend to the teacher ohildren that do not require blows. Fathers and mothers demand that in school their children shall be controlled by moral psrsua tion, appeals to their better nature by intelligence. Let them send to the teachers children that are accus tomed to be controlled in that man ner. Raalize that the father is a teach er's partner in education, and tbat the mother Is the teacher's ally. How impossible it is In a family to brine up the ohildren properly if the father adopt3 one method and the mocber another. How many ohildren are rt quired by contradictory orders from father and mother. Think what a task you put before the teachers, when you expect them to control so many ohildren who at I ome are too of t;en directed In op position to a teacher's wishes and even encouraged to disobey the teach er. We emphasize this point: Control your children by kindness and intelli gence. You have no right to send children otherwise controlled to the public schools. If you say, "I have a ooy tbat I can only control by whip ping him, or "I have a girl that must be whipped once in a while." How have you a right to say, "I will net allow a teacher to touoh my child?" If you cannot control one child without brutality, how can you expect a public school teacher to control forty or fifty children by kindness? Ra member that we do not excuse under any circumstances the brutal treat ment of a child by a teacher. Every human being has the same rights in this world. It is an outrage acoordirg to our law for a man to strike another equal to him in strength. It is an infinitely greater outrage for any humau being to wil fully stike a weak child that is de fenseless. This newspaper, with pleasure, will always share in the prosecution of any teaoher or of any human being guilty of wilfully striking a helpless child If effective prosecution can possibly be brought about. But we do tell parents they should be frank with themselves, and honest to the teacners. It is a disgrace to send to the pub lic school children that have been made tbe victims of blows and bru tallty at home and expect the teaoher to do tbe hardest of all work, tbe in stilling of education, without recourse to the only kind of persuasion that tbe child is accustomed to obey. Nowhere in the world is paternal love more highly developed tnan In America. Nowhere are greater sac ri?oes made for the coming genera tion. The sight of a father working himself to death for the Bake of his family in bo common in the United States tbat it excites no comment. The mother slaving day In and day out tbat her daughters may have what she could not have, that her sons may have for their education the money that she ought to spend on herself, is tbe rule, not tbe exoeption. But too indulgent or mlBtaken a Section ruins tbe child. Never encourage a child to speak disrespectfully of a teaoher. Never encourage a child to put blame upon a teacher. There are defective teach ers, of courso. And it does happen hat the child may bring to its father or mother truthful tales of shortcom ings on the teaober's part. j Investigate these things if you will.*] But investigate them for yourselves, remembering the tendency of child .hood to exaggeration. Don't he made foolish by the fact Shat It is your own child that talks. Find ou'i for yourself, without en couraging the ctilld to disobedience by listening too eagerly to its story. Then, if you find tbat your child has spoken absolutely truthfully, tako such steps as you may please. Don't laugh at your ohild when it tells of tbe "smart thing*" that it dee? at school to bother the teacher or to bother other pupils. Never try to irfluence the child agilnst the teacher under any con ditions. You hurt your own child in dnitely more than you hurt the teach er when you encourage the ohild to rebel against necessary discipline. Remember that the work of school teachers in the noblest and the hard est work in the world. Remember that it is infinitely the most impor tact work In this world. You ask of the teacher a devotion that can only be given as a result of the highest possible moral character. Instinct compels us to make great sacrifices to the children of onr body. Nature attends to that, the human race would die without it. The school teaoher is not the fath er or the mother of the children sit ting on the benches. Yet we ask of the teaoher a devotion greater than tbat of any other public servant. We demand that he give every ounce of hi ility, of his interest, to chil dren L .t will not thank him Whose success he will not live to see or share, exhausting his vitality in return for extremely poor pay. Fathers and mothers, be conscien tious partners cf tbe teachers. For your children's sake especially, and for the teacher's sake as well, put yourself in the teacher's placs. Im press upon your child tbe great, noble work that the teacher does. Till the child how of cen it has happened that men successful in this world have owed their success entirely to their school teachers. Impress upon them especially the fact that good men and successful men have alway? been eager in childhood to show gratitude for tbe work that tbe teachers do. You can easily impress the obi'd in the right way. Make it your solemn duty to lighten the burden of the men and the women in the publio BCbools, upon whom you defend for your children's welfare. Do not neglect this. HEW ?0TX?N PICK SB. That Is Doing Good Work Out in the West. The Augusta Chronicle says Mr. Elbert W. Cramer, of E'.k City, Okla homa, was in tbe city lor a short time Thursday and was drawn into a con versation by several local planter? re garding tbe scarcity of negro laborers and the unwillingness of the average negro to work six days out of seven at this time of the year. Mr. Cramer tells and interesting story of a ne v Invention of a friend of his in the west wbici has al ready been successfully tried and which bids fair to revolutionize the work cf cotton picking. It is a ma chine to plok octton says Mr. Cramer, The principle of the machine is that of the ?aoum or the pneu matic tube. Tae cotton bolls are sucked through tbe tube and loaded directly into a wagon. The tube that receives the ootton reminds one Ol a kangaroo. The tube Is a piece of large--ized hose made of a fine grade of ruboer covered with wire netting. There is a nczzie Is lined with a series of fins or fingers. The operator holds the ncz z e within a few inches of tbe cotton bolls. Suotion causes the bool to be drawn into the nozzle, where the fins catch and hold it for the fraction of a second and till the ootton is gently pulled away from tbe boll. The machine is designed to be fastened to a platform on the rear end of a wagon. Tbe machine rest* on an iron stand four feet hieh. It consists of a tpicially made vacuum fan. It can be operated by a small gasoline motor or by hand-power, one man turnidg aorank and another directing the nczzie. A number of successful tests have been made with tue machine, mve acres of cotton were picked near E k City, this year by one of tbe machines in competition with fifteen negroeB picking by hand. The machine pick* ed five acres at a cost c f 63 cants an | acre against 11.68 an acre for hand ploking. K ille r- B u?h es-Napt lal o.

ADVANTAGE OP BEING A LIVE AT-HOME FARMER All Other People Bave to Fat Pood that Contains Poisonous Matter. Arguments for preferring farm life to all others are r.eeivlng additional impetus in these piping days of in vestigation and exposure. The oharaiB of rural life, always a favorite theme of the poets, have been bo add ed to on the practical side by modern invention that all bands were about to agree that there was no existence to be compared to that on "a little 'arm, well tilled," located near a trolley line, strung with telephone wires and in touch with the rural free delivery. But if any doubt lingered it has been dispelled by the advocates of the pure food bills and the muck-rakers who stuck their forks into the mysteries of the paoking yards. The farmer seems to be the only man that is safe in these days of miasmatic mixtures and devilish adulterations. The only way to be sure of your meat is bo raise it your self, do all the feeding, the killing, the skinning and the cooking. Y~u must not take your eye off the animal at any stag? of the process until it nas been landed in the stomach. If any middleman steps in at any cjnjunc ture, if he is allowed to work his gamo at any turn in the process, you are not safe. Here we were innocently and unsus plolously devouring the steaks and hams and sausage and souse that wa* set before us, undisturbed by r>oubt and unriffl d by lack of confidence. We suppoNod tbings were what they seemed, but, alas, there has been a rude awakening. It an artiole now before us, by a Kansas City expert, is to ba taken literally, lb is practically impossible to got any pure food it this country. The butter is covered <rltb coal tar dyes; the meat has more or leas embalming fl .id; the catsup 1b colored wich coal uyea and has sali cylic sold in it. The lard in which the potatoes are fried probably Jon tmno purtionB of hogs that have died natural deaths and nob been slaught ered under sanitary conditions; pcssl bly it died of some disease. Tbe bread is full of alum; the tea and ctffse contain oopper; the vegetables have, different varieties of artificial colorirg As to pepper, we are grave ly informed, anything pure in that line Is out of the question. Either the trees nave quit growing, the berries hitve ceased to ripen, or tbe trophioal people have q dt ship plug to market for lack 01 demand. It Is found cheaper to make it of oocoacut shell*, sawdu?t and ola?, and of these tootbsome ingredients is tbe puppur of co-amerce. Evcu lut apple does not escape, but is made as deceptive as the one growing on the Dead Sea, which is beautiful to behold, but a fraud to the bite. The oles red apple on tbe stand Is rosy be cause, nine times out of ten, it is painted with coal tar dyes. At least, though, you will say, we are not to lose the cherished illusion of new potatoes. Vain hope. Old potatoes are freshened up in alum water after being soraped, and thus passed off as the real thing, ju_icut of the patohi The gorge rises as we proceed, and the fond ejiculation, so c!ten uttered, chat we would like once more to have a good, old fashioned farm dinner, comes forth with additional emphasis Surely the farmer himself escapes all these dangers. Oan he not be sure of bis vegatables by pulling them up right In his garden and following j them to the table? Oan't he catch a chicken running on the grass that has .jever been a coop or htad of a cold I storage house, behead it, pluok it, and have mother to serve it for. dinner? Oan't he batcher his own beef, dress his own mutton, gather his own roasting ears, snatch his own apples from the trees far from the machina tions of the middleman and proof against the wiles of tbe packers? Admitting tbe worst for denlzaos of tbe cities, agreeing that all ordinary consumers are at tbe mercy of food fraud*, there are still millions of homes where the prying manipulator and the audacious adulterator cannot get In his work. There is plenty of good food lb the country; the farmers are raising it by the hundreds of millions of tons. Much of it, we are sure, reaches the consumer without contamination, and there is no reason why all of it should not be delivered in satisfac tory shape. It is the rascally fellow who "sits at the receipt of customs" in the oibles, tarries at the half-way house to drop his fly in tbe ointment, that needs shutting iff. With close Inspection, scientific teats and heavy fines for adulteration, the principal part of the evils may he avoided, and all the rasoaiB put out of business. These measures have been too long delayed, and we are suffering for our easy, happy-go-lucky way of attend lng to such matters. It needed a rude awakening to bring us to our senses, but now that we are aroused there will be no further use for any body, in oltv or country, any longer saying that It is Impossible to get pure food. The conditions are bad? very bad, Indeed?but as frequently baprjen8 In tbe aff ilrs of life, are not near so dark a* painted. SucccHhl'ul Meeting R^v. S. D.

Titus, of the department of agriculture, has recently made a re port on his investigations of the cot ton red spider In North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, i Ir jury to cotton by the red spider, this report says has been prevelant in many sections of the ootton growing area during the past two years. The cause of the injury is a minute yel lowish-red mite that feeds on the oot ton plant, principally on tbe under sides of the leaves The mites usual ly appear early in the season, but do little appreciable damage until mid summer or later. * The injuries rarely become ?erious unless accompanied by long continued dry weather; in such an event the multiplication of the mites is very rapid, and the consequent Injuries are often sufflcent to kill the plants. This species was first desoribed to the department cf agriculture in 1900, and the inseota were found in Baton Rougbe, La. In 1903 and 1904 they had caused considerable damage there Tbe pest is very probable distributed throughout the entire cotton growing area of the South, althougn during late years its appearance in injurious numbers had not been reported until the summer of 1903, when it caused considerable damage to cotton In South Carolina and Georgia. In 1904 red spiders were found at Bate?burg and in other sections of Sou on Caroli na. During the sumtrer of 1905 many reports of its occurrence wf-ro reo?lved from points in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and in several of t.vsd states tne nuecsa were found in injurious numbers. From investigations made In Soutb Carolina in 1905 lc was noticed tna? from a point on the margin of a field where there were growing large poke bnrry plants the lnfestatlou by the red spider had spread over a fan shaped area of tbe adjoining cotton. The de partment believes tnat when a field is found to be infested with the spiders ?bat they may be gotten rid of by spray top old plants and pulling up o; burning the young ones. To Tne Poblto. The authorities have inaugurated a general and systematic cleaning-up of the city?its thorougxifares ana private premises?.and will place in charge at once special rfSolal Inspec tors who will see that tbe work is done thoroughly. All cit zms are urged and expsoted *o oo operate with tbe officers of the City la this most Important step to wards rendering our homes immune from the diseases which the extreme wet weather that has bc^n upon us for 3ome time may cause, if due oaution is not ooserved and proper diligence 4xarc:sed. The citizens are aloO re quested to make reports of localities where cause for disease is supposed to exist, and complaints so made tbe mayor, or Dr. T. A, Jeffords, chair man health committee, or to Dr. D. J. Hydrick, president board of r>ealth, or that may be filed at the office of the undersigned, will receive atten ti n.
