THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The Attendance Was small?Some
Fine Lectures?Speakers Left
for Orangeburg.
The farmers institute under the direction
of Prof. J. N. Harper, was
held yesterday in the now court housb.1
The party with Prof. Harper \yero
Guy L. Stewart, of tlio United States
Department of Agriculture; Prof. J.
L. Mann, superintendent of tlio city
schools of Florence j Prof. J. S. Newman,
of Walhalla, and formerly pro-/
, fossor of agriculture at Clomson; Dr.
C. L. Goodrich of the U. S. Department
of agriculturo
They came in on the morning train
from Laurens and left on the afternoon
train for Orangeburg.
The mooting was called to order by
Mr. Z. F. Wright who stated tnat Mr.
Alan Johnstone was to have had
c'.arge of it as the president of the
board of trustees of Clemson college
but owing to the fact that ho
was sick in bed the meeting was turned
over to Mr. R. ! . C. Hunter who
introduced Prof. J. N. Harper as the
first speaker.
Mr. Harper said he preferred to
have questions asked and ho would
not he embarrassed if he could not
answer any question because it was
impossible for one man to know everything.
lie said that farming
in South Carolina was far
in" advance of any State in which
he had been. This vras a day of the
now agriculture and it must bo studied
in a scientific way. Tho farmers
had not paid sufficient attention to
stock raising and to diversification.
Everything else should bo stopped
and attention given to rotation of
crops. lie thought, cotton seed meal
the best source of ammonia that we
have and we arc shipping more than
50 per cont of it out of the State.
He said the farmers of this State
were spending from ten to fourteen
million dollars a year on commercial
fertilizer. Rotation of! crops and
stock raising would save a large proportion
of I his.
Prof. Harper spoke against immigration
and said we needed this State
for our children.
Mr. Guy S. Stewart spoke on
trucking and tlie available markets,
and tho common diseases and insect
tests and how to eradicate them.
Prof. J. L. Mann gave his observations
on farm conditions and rural
economy.
Dr. C. L. Goodrich explained the
farm demonstration work.
Prof. J. S. Newman spoke on general
agriculture.
The attendance was very small, due
possibly to the fact that the meeting
was not exploited as it should
have been. The lecturers were disappointed
that there was not more interest
taken. Those who were present
were benefited and enjoyed the
talks and the explanations.

tl Many friends in this city were in- si
expressibly shocked yesterday by the b;
e news of Hie death of Miss Delle Land a<
y which occurred yesterday morning w
t at 2 o'clock at the Wier Mitchell li
1 Sanitarium in Philadelphia.
i. While it was known that she was
e suffering from nervous trouble and c<
n that she had gone North to be treate
ed vet none suspected that her ill- n
e ness would end so sadly j and at first a'
I the news seemed scarcely credible. ''
I) IiuI (lie persistent rumor was soon
e verified among her friends and thoy
were forced to accept it as true. ' c<
Miss Land was one of Augusta's V
_ most charming and talented young
_ women. She was unusually gifted S]
_ as a musician and her ability in that 0>.
a profession was unquestioned. She J
c was musical director at tho First
f Presbyterian church and in that posi- s<
e lion lier excellent f.iste and splendid s'
ft execution were shown most plainly^
and accorded recognition and praise ^
lt from her friends and other musicians
in the city.
About a year ago Miss Land broke n
c down under the nervous strain atii
tendanl upon her work with her music
ii and she went North to recuperate. j>]
ii After remaining there some time she a
r returned home and seemed quite well j]
|) and strong. But the frail body could
r not sustain (lie fine, high-strung inns1
ician's temperament and again her
strength gave way, as tho taut strings
of a violin sometimes break in the y
midst of tho exquisite melody which a
_ is being played by a master musician.
Again a short while ago she j
e was forced lo give up her work and
she went again to Philadelphia to

MR. R. T. BOOZER.
Hedgehill," His Lovely Lake Oity
Homo?Ono of Lako City's Most
Valued Citizens.
Mr. R. T. Boozer's many friends in
ewberry will road with interest tho
dlowing, which is taken from a rcmt
issuo of tho Lake City, Fla., Inax.
Mr. Boozer is a son of Mr. H.
. Boozer, of this- county:
A Lovely Home.
"Hedgehill," tho homo of Hon.
id Mrs. R. T. Boozer, is undoobtod'
one of tho loveliest placos in tho
tate. Mr. Boozer lias recently ront'aled
his liome and the wide vcranns
on both stories, almost surroundig
the house, add much to tho atactivoness
of tho place.
Tho green boxwood hedges, perJctly
kept, that border the estate,
io lawn and cedars, to tho front, a
)so garden to the cast and borderig
the western slope rruit trees and
rapo arbors, are only a few of the
ttractions of "Hedgehill." Cerlinly
it gives one a refreshing idea
t' tho coolness and comfort that go
nvards making the Ideal summer
01110 and the way that leads there
mkes a pleasant stroll of a summer
ftcrnoon, to say nothing of the
ospitality dispensed, after one arvos.
Air. Boozer spends his spare time
elding continually to the general
'vclincss of tlie place and keeping
in good trim, genial gardener that
9 is.
Mrs. Boozer will exhibit (lie heavies
of "Hedgehill" at a delightful
wn party Vhioh slie anticipates givig
in honor of the Woman's Club
>on,
A recent special trade edition of
10 Citizen Reporter, Lake City, said
L' Mr. Boozer:
Hon. R. T. Boozer.
Rufus T. Boozer was born at Proseritv,
South Carolina, August 28th,
Bt)(). lie removed to Florida in
38f> and has since resided in Lake
itv, where lie has become one of the
iost prominent, trusted and wellnown
citizens of our portion of the
tate.
By occupation he is a lawyer, and
3 such his integrity and ability are
eing generally recognized, and the
trm of which lie is a member, Boozer
1 Gillen, have built up one of tho
est and most substantial practices
nd acquired one of tho most thorughly
equipped offices in Lake City
r this part of the State.
Mr. Boozer was a member of our
ity council for five and a half years
rior to (lie year 18:74, at which time
e voluntarily resigned from that
oard because of the pressure of othf
duties. In that position ho renoi
ed the public of this community
>mo of the best service it has ever
ad, and in his actions was always
ife and conservatiye, uninfluenced
V fear, reward or partisanship, but
rlhering ever to his convictions as to
hat was right and ?est for the pubc.
For the past thirteen years he has
een chairman of our board of county
mimissioners, and has two years vet
> serve, from and after Janary 1st,
ext. In (his position, as in that
hove mentioned, his ads and efforts
ave all been in tho line of right and
ut\ and ho has over devoted himself
> the upbuilding o? our oily and
unify interests, which have prosper1
under the influence he has exerted,
ii (his connoction we would call
social attention to (lie article on
.unity finances in another part of
lis issue, which was prepared for it
y him at our request, and every
.atement of which the records amply
ipporl. .
11 was largely and principally due
) his efforts that Lake City and
olumbia county secured, without
ie issuance of bonds, the magnifi2nt
county court house and threecre
park surrounding, which now
eaulify and adorn (heir location
verlooking Lake DeSoto, and relects
credit, not only upon the city
nd county and our people, but upon
ie man and men w *u> planned and
chievcd it. It is conceded by all
isilors to he I he besf, most approl'iate
and handsomest structure and
ite for its cost in the whole State of
'lorida, and not to be excelled by
ny anywhere. .
In religious belief Mr. Boozer is a
utheran. He is a member of tho
>cal lodge of Odd Fellows and also
f the Woodmen of the World. And
e is active in the interests of whatver
field of lnjior or advancement
e undertakes.
He was married in this city, Jnno
|)fh, 1880, (o Miss F. ITonorino Ross.
Vom (his union they have, to brigh-n

hicli appears in another place,) four
