Tuesday, June 18, 1912.
The papers say that Col. Tom Felder
is to appear before the legislative
investigating committee in Columbia
this week. We shall believe it when
we see it.
The State campaign starts today at
. Sumter. The candidates for governor
have never met in joint debate. We
hope their discussions will be of public
questions and that they will not inin

A good application of paint and white

That' was a splendid paper before

or journalism, uui <*,1^ -observe
that it was without influence
upon the editor of the Spartanburg
Herald Precept and theory are good
in their place, but what we need is example
and practice.
We would like to know what rela-!
I
tion the fact that L. M. Green of the j
Anderson Intelligencer, having once |
been a detective, bears to the readableness
of the editorial paragraphs
4 . I
of the Columbia Record. We admit it
^ is simply an idle curiosity that
prompts the question and no one is
under obligation to satisfy it.
We commend Solicitor Bonham for
1 1-;_ ? ? nnnstiol r\f the Mnrt i

to try Vaughn. A little delay will do
no harm. If Vaughn is proven guilty
he will be convicted and suffer the
penalty of the law for his crime and
. a little delay can do no possible harm.
Most of these special courts are but
the expression of the.mob given the!
formality of legal proceeding.
We notice the death of our gool
old friend, Mrs. Christine Chalmers, of
Abbeville, which took place last week
at the ripe old age of eighty yearsShe
was one of the best and most
kind-hearted women we ever knew.
We lived in her home thirty-two years
aco and was kind as a mother
to us then, and we have always cherished
her kindness and will hold in
i fond remembrance her memory. As
the years come and go we have to
part with the dear ones, but we have
the hope of a happy re-union in the
by. and by.
We were always under the impres- j
sion that the spirit of our law, if not j
thp written law itself wao that pvprv !
man is presumed innocent until proven
guilty. Even if he was charged
with crime the burden of proof rested
upon the person bringing the charge.
It seems that proceeding ,has been
changed. At least that is what we
would judge from the newspapers.
For instance, if we were to charge the
priifnr r>f Pnlmnhin wifh I
treason or theft or graft or any old j
thing the burden of proving that the j
-charge is untrue would be upon the
editor of the aforesaid State, and not
upon the party making the charge,
even though the party himself making
the charge were utterly irresponsible.
inese are iruiy srrange times ana
strange things do happen. We should
be* fair and just and honest in politics
as in other things, and if we were,
there would be less strife and less
bickering and the people would
come nearer making wise selections
of public officers. The people will i
resent unfair and unjust treatment.
The following from the Yorkville
Enquirer is timely ana well put:
"The following appears in the News ,
and Courier of Tuesday, having been
sent by \\\ F. Caldwell from Spartan- i
burg Monday night: i
' Qtato Ph9irma.11 John Gary Evans
left this afternoon for Columbia, to
be present at the meeting of the ex- !
excutive committee tomorrow. Asked 1
as to the outlook for Judge Jones's
success in his race for governor, the
former governor said: "Everything
t think everything will
IWIV^ ^WWI * _ _
be all right."
"Now if that had been said by Mr.
Thurmond, manager for Judge Jones,
there would be nothing in it to occasion
a second thought. It would merely
be taken as talk characteristic of a
campaign manager; but coming from
the chairman of the Democratic party,
it has other significance. As the En
quirer understands it, and it can not
possibly get rid of the idea, it is the
business of the chairman of the Democratic
plrty, no matter what may be
his personal preferences to hold the
?
balances with even and impartial justice.
But from this it is to be assumed
that Mr. .Evans is an open and
vowed partisan of one candidate as
against the other."
CHARGES.
There are so many charges and
counter-charges in this .State that it
is a hard matter to keep up with them.
The charges by Mayor Grace, of Charleston,
have occupied a prominent
place in the newspapers during the
past couple weeks, and it has been
stated that Mayor Grace will be summoned
to Columbia to testify before
the dispensary investigating commit-,
te*.
We did not preserve the copy of'
"Common Sense" containing the editorial
which caused so much comment,
but we see it reprinted in the
| Augusta Chronicle, the editorial being
I attributed to Mayor Grace, and contaming
this statement: "We have tracI
I
ed this graft (speaking of "graft"
which the editorial charges the Char
leston constables with) practically up
to the governor himself."
i ,
Governor Blease in an interview in
Columbia Friday said this was a lie.
Xow comes "Common Sense" in its i
!
issue of Saturday. June 15, in an edi- j
torial which says itself that Jno. P.
Grace is responsible for it, and says:
"If we had competent proof to show j
that the governor did himself, in
proper person, "receive" this graft,
our readers may rest assured that we :
would say it. But we have made no'
such claim. "What we have said, and j
can abundantly prove, is that the con- j
stables here in Charleston have "re- !
ceived" it."
I
So it would sceiii, under this last j
editorial which claims Mayor Grace as >
its sponsor, that the so-called charges
of Mayor Grace*, so far as the governor
is concerned, amount to nothing.
There are too many charges in!
South Carolina without any proof.

The One Year Agricultural Course at j
Clem son. !
Beginning next session, Clemson i
college will give an intensive one- j
year agricultural course to young far-j
mers who desire to learn the import-!
ant, yet simple, fundamental princi- j
pies which underlie successful agri- j
culture.
This course will begin October 1st
and close June 1st, and will be open
to young men eighteen years old and
over. The course includes none of the
usual academic branches such as
mathematics, English, history, etc., j
but is confined to a study of the prin- j
ciples of crop production, noriucui- j
ture, animal husbandry, dairying, etc.
Agricultural arthmetic and simple!
farm bookkeeping will be taught, and j
instead of the usual English'branches,
a simple course in parliamentary
practice and public speaking will be
given, sufficient to enable the student.
when he returns to his community to
preside at a public meeting or to hold
a farmers' institute.
The purpose of the course is to take
?1? i? x: i
young men WHO kiiuw uie practical
side of farming and make of them better
and more scientific farmers, and
community leaders and builders as
well.
Clemson college has been unjustly
criticised because many of its agri
cultural graduates do not return to
the farm. The college has no power
to coerce its graduates. There are no
obligations imposed by the State laws
even on the holders of scholarships.
XT' An *% vaorn r*r\ ] 1 dcrr\ n?nT?l/
i'vui j ai o ui cxaio v/v/
tend to prepare not only for farming
but for lucrative positions in teaching
and in scientific lines of work as well.
In fact, the demand along these lines
the country over is greater than the
supply, and in this stage of agricultural
development, it is questionable
if the country can afford to have all its j
agricultural graduates go back to their
own farms. We need more men like j
Dr. Knapp, who farm 011 many acres
not their own.
While South Carolina gets her full
benefit from the graduates of Clem- j
son and other agricultural colleges, j<
there is a demand that is not met by 1
the regular four year degree courses, j
The demand comes from a class or
young men who have neither the time
nor the money to take the full course,
but who seek instruction in the business
of farming. Clemson college <
hopes by her one-year course to meet
this need, hopes to send back to South
Carolina farms every session one hundred
young farmers who can make
better crops than their neighbors,
who will know the value of live stock,
dairying, horticulture and all the other
side lines too long neglected in the
madness Of a one crop system. It will
not be long before this annual crop of
young farmers will make for better
agriculture and better farm homes.
Av, aicmpntarv rural school educa
AU - ?
tion will be required of those who apply
for the course. Ability to read
and write intelligently and a fair
knowledge of arithmetic constitute
the requirements. The intention is to
preserve and even raise the standard
in the regular four year degree
courses, but to cut loose entirely from
ordinary collegiate standards in the
requirements in tne one year course, j
which is intended directly to serve a !
special need rather than cater to any j
imaginary ideas of collegiate respec-j
tability. The cost of the course, in- j
eluding fees, uniforms, board, lodging,j
heat, light and laundry, will be $117.55. j
Those who are able, will pay $40 ad- j
ditionai ror luiuon.
The Minis scholarship bill passed
at the 1912 session of the general assembly
provides for scholarships in
the one year course as follows: One j
from each county and seven from the
State at large. Each scholarship is j
t?r/"?r>tvi aa onri froo. tnitinn The trus- ;
?? vi tut y-LW uiiu A* ??? ?
tees designate in each county the most!
representative organization of farmers, j
The executive committee of this or-i
ganization, on or before July 1, rec-!
ommends to the president of the col- i
lege three or more young men over j
18 years old, who have done worthy)
agricultural work during the preced- j
ing year, or in any previous year.
These young men are notified of the
recommendation and go up for competitive
examination on July 12- at
the county court house. They stand
iheir examinations along with regular
f/Mir. ttoqt. cphnlarshin armlinants. hilt
wui r , J
the examination is different and covers
only' the elementary common
school branches. In any county where j
there is no organization of farmers, j
the director of the agricultural de-j
partment of Clemson college solicits j
opinions from representative farmers j
of the county, and their recommendation
is used as would be the recom
mendation of an executive committee.;
In your county the Farmers' union j
has been selected by the board of trus- j
tees, as the. proper organization to
make the recommendations. The exe- j
cutive committee of this organization j
will no doubt welcome suggestions
from farmers and others as to worthy j
young men who have done creditable, j
not necessarily notable, agricultural?
work.
The seven State-at-large scholar- j
ships are recommended in the same
way, except by the executive commit-!
tee of the most representative Stac j
organization of farmers. The young!
men recommended for scholarships at
large stand their examinations at their
county seats.
The State Farmers' union has been
a/] aa a mrvof r^nrespntjitivp I
UCdlgiiCLlCU. OO m\J+J c A vyi ~ ;
farmers' organization in the State. \
The executive committee of this union I
has been requested to consult with the j
officers of the State agricultural and i
Mechanical Society of South Carolina,j
another strong agricultural organiza- \
tion, in making up its recommendations.
The examination papers are prepar
ed and graded by the Clemson faculty
and the award announced by the Secretary
of State board of education.
Only young men recommended for
worthy agricultural work will be allowed
to compete for the one-year agricultural
scholarships.
It is expected that in addition to
1 V - ?-5?/\1 r? mo V* l T\0
tne one-year agncunuiai scuuiaiomjAa,
at least 50 others will take the oneyear
course. Applicants for admission
to this course may stand entrance examinations
along with the scholarship
applicants at the county seats, or at
the college in October.

Recent years have witnessed a very
marked increase in the use of mechanical
power for the performance
of many classes of farm worK inai
our fathers accomplished by hand.
Of the various power-producing machines
in use on the farms, probably
the most used and the most adaptable
to all sorts of condition is the singlecylinder
gasoline engine of the fourstroke
cycle type. This machine is
made in two forms, vertical and horizontal,
and with either air or water
cooled cylinder. j
While machines of different makers [
vary as to detail, they all have the |
same essential parts; namely, cylin-!
der with inlet and exhaust valves, pis- i
ton, connecting rod, cranK shaft, j
crank-shaft bearings with supports, riy j
wheels, exhaust valve opener, governor,
ignition apparatus, caroureior,
cooling apparatus, and oiling system, j
These engines may be purchased in j
sizes from one-half horse power up- j
ward.
Unlike the steam engine, with those
pulling powers we are familiar, the
gasoline engine will not ca. * y much
overload; hence it is advisable to buy j
a machine larg? enough to do the
maximum work required of it without
overloading. If the engine is to be
used for pumping only, small special
pumping machines that give excellent
service may be bought at a reasonable
price. If the fanner owns but
one engine, it is probably advisable ia
all cases to procure a larger machine
than the small sizes, a machine that
will drive the wood saw, the corn shel- !
i
ler, the feed grinder, and so on. These !
machines give a relatively high effi- j
ciency at light loads, and it is ,therefore,
not objectional to run them light, j
The farmer, for a small outlay ?f \
money, can provide a room in which !
. !
he can set his engine ana sucn machines
as he desires to run with it, j
and his wood saw may occupy an open
shed at the side of the room. A rod
-.e otool mnnnted in han- i
Ui WlU-lUlivu ...
gers attached to the overhead woodwork,
makes an excellent line shaft at j
low cost. This shaft should run |
lengthwise the full length of the room j
to provide for as many machines as j
wAATVt TXfl 11 hrvl/1 TThif^ fped errindp.r. I
cue iuvm ** li-i xawav*. -? ? ,
corn sheller, etc., may be put togeth
er in a part of the room separated j
from the balance of the room by a
partition, and beyond this partition j
may be installed the washing machine, I
\ '
the cream separator, the churn, the
electric plant, etc. Thes-e machines
are driven bv the line shaft by means
i
of belts. !
i
In the limited space alloted to this
article it is not possible to enter into j
a detailed discussion pf the many uses
to which a gasoline engine may be put
on the farm, but the writer1 wishes to j
11 ? ? A.I ol if 1
impress on me i<mner tu? i<iv;i mat, itis
well worth the farmer's time and (
efT jrt to acquaint himself with the
possibilities of the gasoline engine;
with- reference to . his own particular
case. Manufacturers and dealers are!
ready to supply full and free informa
tion on request.
A great many people are under the!
impression that the gasoline engine i
is a very unreliat/le and dangerous!
thing. This erroneous impression is
due to the fact that the machine is
not understood by these people. As a
matter of fact the gasoline engine is
one of the simplest of prime movers,
and if kept in good order and in prop- j
er adjustment, it is a most dependable
source of power. When the farmer
%
forms the habit of rubbing down his
engine frequently and looking it over
for loose nuts and slipped adjustments,
at the same time looking carefully to
nnilitv rtf lnhrir-ntinsr nil hp uses.

he will find that he possesses a safe, |
i
economical, and very satisfactory pow- j
