WISHES TO BROADEN CLEMSON'S WORE TRUSTEES HOPE TO ESTABLISE PREPARATORY SCHOOL. R. 1. Manning and W. D. Evans Con fer With Attorney General Regard ing Statutory Requirements. The State, 15th. Richard I. Manning and W. D. Ev ans, members of the board of trus tees of Clemson college, were herE yesterday on their return from a meeting of the board. Both being fron: the Pee Dee, they were very muct elated over the step taken by th( board to get the legislature to estah lish an experiment station in the Pf Dee section of the State. Mr. Manning declared that the af fairs of the college are in excellen! condition. The board did not ente into an election of president, but il seems to have been the sense of th( meeting that W. M. Riggs, the actin president, be continued in office. The new experiment station to b; located in the Pee Dee section will fill a long felt want. Judging fron the past, it will represent more of thE fertilizer tax than any other sectior of the State, for the farmers of the Pe( Dee use more fertilizers than any oth ers in the State. Col. Evans declare that the new station will be a grea1 boon to a large farming section of thE State, for it will teach the farmerE what kinds of fertilizers to use or certain soils and under certain con ditions. Wants Such School. Neither would state whether it is the purpose of the trustees eventual ly to establish a preparatory school and to elevate the standing and cur riculum at Clemson, but from theii declarations that this is the most im portant action taken by the trustees in niany years it is inferred that it i the wish, if not the intention of the board, to establish just such a schno as soon as the approval of the legis lature may be obtained. Messrs. Manning and Evans consult ed with Mr. Lyon about an effort which will be made by some of the fertilizer manufacturers to evade the new law requiring that bags of ferti lizers shall be uniform in size and ini weight. The law requires that the weight of cottonseed meal shall be 100 pounds to the sack and shall be marked on the sack with a penalty for evading the law and that other corn mercial fertilizers shall be 200 pounds to the sack. Object of the Law. The object of the law is to require manufacturers to mark the sacks pla' - and to come up to the require mehtd for weight, but the wording of the act is so involved that the attor ney general fears that he may have a hard fight to uphold the evident inten tion of the legislature. Mr. Lyon, while waiting to argue a case in the United States supreme court recently, heard a case similar to the fertitlizer case presented. In that the United States supreme court de cided against the plaintiff, a manu facturing corporation, and Mr. Lyon thinks with that as a precedent he can successfully defend the present statute. So much nitrate of soda and muriate of potash is shipped in from Chili that it is claimed that the State of South Carolina can not require a foreign government to mark its ship ments. But Mr. Lyon will contend that the selling agent who delivers di rectly to the consumer must see that packages are of proper weight and properly labeled. R. R. TO SALUDA. Saluda Has Raised i50,00)0.- e Will it Go? Newberry or Green wood! Saluda is to have a railroad. This county, whose soil is productive and whose people are industrious, has not within its borders a line of railway. The road from Columbia to Augusta skirts the boundary of the county with one or two stations On Saluda county soil, but there is no line tapping the heart of this great agricultural sec tion. Ex-Senator B. W. Crouch, who was here yesterday with his family en route to Conway and Myrtle Beach, ann.ounced that Saluda will surely have a road this time. Several ef forts heretofore have failed, but this will not. The panic disturbed the well laid plans for a line from Saluda to Greenwood a few years ago, but Mr. Crouch was not. disheartened, and has in the last 1:~w months revived his efforts. Mr. Crouen is president of the Bank of Saluda and has cast his lot with the people of that county. He has seen the county seat grow even .Athout a railroad. the nearest sta tion being 14 miles away and he feels that with a line from Saluda to Green wood the county would me immensely benefited. N' only wouldi farmers 'havea better opportunity to market their crops, but settlers would come in. The building of this road would not only mean the opening of a new coun try, but it might afford a link for a w great trunk line. Mr. Crouch has to long tried to get Columbia financiers el to build a line to Saluda-for it would en mean a great increase in revenue for the business houses of Columbia, but it seems that other towns have taken the opportunity ahead of Columbia. Saluda has put up $50,000 for this road and Mr. McNeely, a well known contractor, will put in $50,000 addi tional. Johnston, Greenwood and New berry have all offered money to the proposed line. Another New Road. This is not the only railroad which will be built in the next few months. That the South Carolina & Western railway will certainly be built is the! information received at the office of the railroad commission. A letter in forms the commission that a New York firm in handling the financial end of the proposition and the mat ter has been taken up by their firm; fe with W. H. Bonsal of Hamlet, N. C. bt Several months ago a commission was secured from the office of the secre tary of state for this road. The rail way is to run from McBee to Harts ville. This road runs east from McBee, i where it taps the Seaboard, according to the general understanding. "A spur iti of the Seaboard" was the general im- m pression a few months agj when the g, road was first proposed and this now St appears to be the situation. "A feed- RO er to the Seaboard" is the technical th position of the road. The road will 10 run about 23 miles. C< 01 or WILL BUT COTTON ON GRADE.

The train was in thE charge of Hon. G. W. Koiner, commis- Te sioner of agriculture for Virginia, and au; bore a corps of experts who gave in- inc structive lectures on subjects of par- bei ticular interest to farmers of the va rious communities visited. The train* was out six days and sixteen meet- WI ings were held between Alexandria Ari and Danville. '. Fe: IAt nearly every stop the two pas senger coaches which were used as It: lecture rooms were filled and at some places it was necessary to hold out- He side meetings to accommodate the' No crowds. Farmers' wives turned out ' in large numbers and showed as much On interest as the men. At the close of the meetings at almost every stop Co farmers remained to ask questions Ru about topics which interested them Bu especially. At every stop apprecia- W tion of the work done by the Virginia' department of agriculture and the Southern Railway company was ex pressed. at a number of points votes thi of thanks being given.

The very large mber of replies in which it was stat that great practical good had re ted show the value of running such ins. Soil improvement, crop diver- ar cation, more attention to live stock, improved methods of culture had resulted from attending the meet- P and many farmers reported great increased profits.eh L similar train was operated over SMobile and Ohio railroad, in West anessee a few weeks ago under the pices of the Southern's land and' ustrial department.
