Everybody goes to school in his early life, at the time when he has little means of knowing the practical value of the instruction he receives. Consequently a great many persons make small progress in their common school work and not until their mature years do they realize the folly they displayed " tKoir onrlv nnnnr. Ill 1IU^1CV/VI II VIIVII VM? IJ tunities. Rut many even of the persons who. studied while in school seem to think that their education at that time was completed? a preposterous supposition?and they grive little thought and make little effort to continue th^r education in later life. The hard-headed farmer is likely to look with skepticism or suspicion upon the youngster whose head is filled with theories about farming hut whose hand never knew the callous worn by the pitchfork or in guiding the ..plow. But some of these young men who have been brought up on the farm and who have pur sued the agricultural course in college have that rare combination of practical and theoretical knowledge that produces what has come to be termed the "scientific farmer, " ? or in other words "the farmer who knows" and who does not guess. Most farmers as well as most other business men need to continue thtfl* education throughout life. But that education must Le specific and practha'. The farmer has in the farm demonstrator the teacher educated especially to help him in his work. Buy at Heme. Don't expect the impossible of your town and its merchants. Be sure first, before you complain of the goods and prices of home merchants, that you haven't had a hand in making it impracticable for our merchants to handle the kind of goods you want at the prices you can pay. Merchants are not mind readers nor are they blind to their own best interests. If they haven't what you want they will get it for you at as low or lower price than you can get it. niivwhprp t?lsp.

Try this for a rule of trading hereafter. "If the money spent for gravel placed on the streets, for the past 43 years, had been put in cement sidewalks, Chester would today be blessed with about 58 miles of permanent sidewalks" ?

In which case it is quite likely that Chester's sidewalks would strccth up to Rock Hill and over about I^ancas# As the hot weather approaches,1 it would be an excellent idea for city council to pass and enforce % 4 A * > < 1 an ordinance raquiring that muzzles be placed on all dogs running at large. (We don't own a dog.) Query: Who is the Governor I after, Mayor Grace. Chief Cantwell or the Charleston tigers? Endosres Nr. Nims' Suggestion. A movement has been started in this city to secure regulations calling for uniforms in the public school. This idea, a brand new one in connection with public schools orgauized with a prominent business man of the city, who has been giving the subject much thought and attention. During the short time in which the matter has been agitated much favorable comment has been heard, and it is likely that definite steps will be taken before long.? Orangeburg special to the News and Courier. This proposition of uniforms for children of the public schools is interesting, but not altogether new. Mr. Fred Nims of Fort Mill township, published exactly this suggestion in the Fort Mill Times a few years ago, ana there was favorable discussion of it in The Enquirer and other papers. If Orangeburg, however, is the first county to put the idea into practical effect, there will be no effort to deprive her of due credit.?Yorkville Enquirer. Next Year's Teachers. The board of trustees of tht local graded school has received acceptances from the corps of teachers elected for the next term. Some changes were necessary owing to the declination of the positions offered and I Miss Frances May Milling, of Rock Hill, will have charge of the fifth grade; Miss F. S. Dubose, of Pickens, the high school, and Miss Fannie K. Lewis, of Richmand, Va., the music class. Mr. James D. Fulp, the new superintendent, is in Fort Mill making plans for the coming term and confidence is felt that the next term will be a most successful one. News of Gold Hill. Times Correspondence. Mr. Sam'l Boyd is no better at this writing. A goodly 111 m ber of his neighbors met at his home yesterday and worked over his crop. The little child of J. D. Gibson remains in a critical condition, being no better. There is a new boy at Mr. James Epps' and we learn that he has been christened Billy Sunday. Now, wasn't it an act of wisdom in him to select the Gold u:n L - ? > inn Bccuuii 111 which io oe uorn: Now, you Fort Mill people who have been so anxious to hear Billy can hear him any hour of the day or night, perhaps, by visiting him at his home. It is quite fashionable these days for every farm to have a name, and we have christened ! Dave ^Gibson's farm the "cat farm." By no means does he make a specialty of cats, but he has 14 in stock at this time, and will increase the number as occasion demands. The small grain crop continues promising, but knowing ones say it is raining too much for wheat, and if the rain don't hold up soon all farms in this section will have a beautiful cover crop on them. Splinter. Gold Hill, May 25. I Knox Windle and W. M. Wilson took a pleasure trip to Greenwood last week. From the reports, they had a most enjoyable stay. If the whole of Europe becomes an awful and quaking battle ground, it will not matter to our farmers, who desire to raise crimson clover next year. Some of them have already constructed clover seed strippers in order to supply themselves with seed for the next year. Hyperion. Gold Hill. May Death of a Rock Hill Lady.
