Laurant, and Company, at School Au ditorium, Friday night, December 10th, 1909. This magnificent attraction is one of the finest of its kind ever offered the 'American public.

It is very evident that the robbers are not after goods but. want money, as in each case the cash d register seems to be the objf. tive point. This thing cannot continue much lon'.:. er before the miscreants are run down. U and when they are we believe it will be found that they are not negroes. Watc-h i the predicaticn. The supervisor cf the census for this district M1r. W. J. Storen will soon be in to make his appointments of enum eraWrs In order to give the infocma tion we wrote to him to ask when tne work of taking the census would begin and what is the compensation. His re ply was that the census would begin t Aril 1-th 1910. and the compensation is graded and depends on the class of work done by the enumerators. i. e.. the work of taking the farms etc., pay:ing I more than the work in the cities. We t may be able to get ~nore definite infor ation later and when we do we shall give it to our readers. The government woul, be giad to have a competent col ored man for this work in such town- t shi where the whites are sparsely 0et tie.

The debt c incurred for this work cannot be pre- t ferred, it must take its chances of col- ia lection the same as any other claim e against the town, but it would be a pity to go toimis expense and have the walks t in spots, especially since all of the tax-r payers are to pay one-half Lhe cost of these portions that will be concreted. The only way those who are holding a back can break: even is to have their walks concreted also, then the others would have to share the expense wvhieh 1 they must for those that have con- I sented.

THE FUNDS. But where are we to get the monev I wish to say that although I ihave iiade sone public but friendly criticituns of the failure of Clemson College' to meet my ideals af what an agricultural college in this State should be. it has no truer or loyal friend in the State. No word has ever escaped my lips with reference to this institution, tfniess I thought it to be in the interest of it. No act of mine shall ever consciously injure this institution. It has its place. and a most important place. in the edu cational sVstelu of the State and the suggestioi I am about to make I be lieve with all of my heart will in the end work not only for the good of C.Larendo, but for the good of the agricultural --lasses of the State. One of the chief sources of the sup port for Clemson is the fertilizers tax. a tax of twenty-five cents per ton upon commercial fertilizers. This tax is paid aluost exclusively by the farmers of the State. It should be used in brin;ing to him the great est and best results. Amount Fertilizer Tax paid in: Fr,n. Juiv :.193 to June :0. 1-4. S 10.44 90 -- - " 3. i" M .670.71 -- - - 3u. 19M. 166.i2.3 -- -- . 1l r:. 153.5 . It will be noticed that in the past live vears this tax has increased $1. U00. I do not believe that the expesise at Clemson has increased in that proportion. In fact, as I said before, I understand it to be the intention of at least one member of the Board of Trustees to accummulate a sur puls for the purpose of erecting a Preparatory school at Clemson. In rmy own mind. I feel confident that for greater results for the the farmers of the State and for the agriculture of the State can be had by taking at least S-.0o of this tax and applying it each year to the establishment of Agricultural High Schools in the sevcral Congressional Districts of the State; to tihe end that an elemental agricultural education may be brought close to the farm boys and ;.girls of the State. Instead of haviu one school preparing boys for en trance into Clemson, let us have seven of these schools prepa3ring them for Clemson and girls for Win throp if they shall wish entrance into these institutions and what is more ituportant. let them be pre paring these tboys and girls for the work of life and the duties of citizen ship: preparing them to get the most ont of their occupation. These schools have been tried in WVisconsin and are hsuccessful. They have re cently. been established in Georgia and I~ have heard no com plaint. They are to be the centers Irom whieth ~o out bien ideals, better muethods.
