Farm Lands Should be Listed Now
During the war all farm produce commanded high
prices, and farming communities have enjoyed marvel
ous prosperity. Now, with the coming of peace, and
the opening of the markets of the world, should also
come plenty. The real estate market should be active*
If you intend to sell your land this year, list your
property now and avoid the rush season when time for
careful inspection of land is lacking.
I believe it will be to your advantage to list with
me. If you intend to buy, see or write me.
Farm lands are my specialty.

Clemson College. June 10. ? One of the
features of the Summer School to be con
ducted hv the Agricultural Department
this summer is the short course for club
boys, which will be given this year July
7 to IS inclusive. Two' club boys from
? each county who have made the highest
records in their county clubs#are offered
1 free scholarships each year iu the short'
in agriculture, so that there will
be ii total n t tendance of nearly 1<*? hold
ing -<*ln?!a r>hips. In "addition to the
t scholarship holders other club boys may
attend upon payment of a fee of $1.00
!'*r day. and doubtless a good many of
r h??i. will attend.
Ann-nnconi'iit is made to tin* club
, by Mi. Jr. I.. Rak^r,
Agent <?f Club Work, that arrangements
have been made for a special car for

Ridge Railroad. may reach the college
from Calhoun on the main line of the
Soiit horn.
The course of instruction for Huh lioys
a? arranged by Mr. Raker and the au
thorities of the college provides an ex.
'?el Ifii t brief course in practical agricul
iure for these young farmers. Rut be
sides what they gain from instruction, !
the trip to damson is an admirable op- !
portunity for the boys to have an out
ing and holiday from their regular farm
work for a j?eriod of 12 days, and CJem
soii College is always glad to provide'
not only the instruction hut the oj>por- j
tunity for any sort of pleasure and '
benefit.
It is suggested that the boys bring
baseball and tennis outfits in order that
they may have athletics, and bathing '
suits to enable them to enjoy the swim- '
mlng pool, and sufficient clothing for a
two weeks stay. They should provide j
themselves also with towels, sheets, and
pillow cases and a blanket for us# In
the barracks, where they will be quar

and his aAaistaata.
Cathedral of Metz
BY REASON of Its situation, Its
monuments. Its antiquity and
its history, MoHS Is one of tho
most interesting cities of west
ern Europe. Built on a high hill at the
Junction of t lie Moselle and of tho
Sellle, Metz, when Caesar undertook
his Invasion of Gaul, was already an
almost Impregnable position, on which
the Medlonmtrics, one of the most
formidable ti'ibes that Caesar under
took to conquer, proceeded id establish
their capital, which they called Duo
dorum Medlomatricorum, says the
.Christian Science Monitor.
The humble huts of these warriors
wire later replaced by gorgeous Ro
man temples and by the palaces of the
kings of Austrasia. For in spite of their
strength and courage, the Mediomatrics
were unable to resist the Romans,
who transformed Duodorum Into one
i of (he most Important strategical
; points of their empire.
Croat roads crossed the city In di
verse directions, leading to Reims,
Toul, Treves, and Strasbourg. In the
year tf>l Attila and his hordes did not
spare Mettis, as the city <vas then
called, and their example was followed
by the Vandals. During the Merovin
gian dynasty it became the capital of
the kings of Austrasia; Charlemagne
granted to the bishops of Metz ? for
the city ever since the third century
had boon the seat of a bishopric ? -such
extensive privileges that they soon he
came the real lf>rds of the town, al
though they humbly professed to be
the vassals of the emperors. At that
period Met!? was self-governing, being
ruled by an alderman aqd a council
of thirteen, as well as by a great coun
cil of elders.
Regained Its Independence.
In the tenth century the German em
perors appropriated Metz, which was
ruled by Henry the Fowler In 945, but
tlie Independent old city soon took ad
, ? vantage of the Internal dissensions
raging In the Holy empire to recover
the prerogatives It enjoyed as a free
city. Henry II of France and hlq
troops occupied Metz In 1552 and de
fended It victoriously against Charles
V, jyho could not resign himself to the
To*" of %o important a stronghold.
Metz was consequently Invested by an
army of 75.000 men, and 114 cannon
fired 14,000 sh?*ts on the city, which
was a record in bombardments at that
period. After two months of extraor
dinary and untiring efforts, having lost
a third of his troops, the emperor ?
rather, the duke of Alba who directed
the siejrw ? was obliged to retire, much
to the satisfaction of the French, who,
numbering only 0.000 men, were com
manded by the Duke Francois de
Guise. Charles V then ceded Toul and
Verdun to France.
The Messins had never sought to
dissimulate the love they frit for
France; later, the inhabitants of the
valiant city declared that they would
nevQr take up arms against the
French king. Charles VIII. In 1557
the ambitious cardinal of Lorraine
was obliged to take inferior rank,
owing to the forced cession which
granted the king of France pretended
rights to the sovereignty of Metz. And
although the latter modestly assumed
the title of protector, he was. In fact.
master of the city. It was only In
1858 that Henry VII officially took the
tile of sovereign lord of Metz. In 1048
Louis XIII endowed Metz with a par
liament, and In 1048 the treaty of
Westphalia definitely Incorporated
Metz, Toul, and Verdun with France ?
the new province thus constituted be
ing known as the Three Bishoprics.
After that period the capital of Lor
raine remained Impregnable; vainly
did Brunswlek-iafti2p2 and Blucher In <
1814 strive to rende^ themselves mas
ter of the citadel. Had It not been
for Marshal Bazuine's infamous capit
ulation which, signed on October 23,
1870, delivered to the Germans 173,
000 men, 6.000 officers and three
marshals, not to speak of 1.663 cannon
and 53 flagM ? Metz never would have
fallen *" >r have been subjected for 48
years to the tyranny and bondage,
from which the allies have at last
accomplished Its complete dell vera nee.
Ha# Twenty-Seven Palace*. ^
McU Is a flue city, possessing no
less than 27 "puluces." a few of fciilcl.
arc really worth considering. AH the
houses of the I'lace St. Croix; f"i' In
stance, most of which date from the
fourteenth and flfteenth c?. nturles. are
built on the remains of Roman aque
ducts and vaults. The Place St. Louis
still boasts of many houses which are
clnssed ns historical raonumeuts, witl:
crenelated 'poofs, and which, in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were
the residences of money-changers. Tlu
Place de la Comedie, which is encir
cled by the Moselle, 1s decorated at
one of Its extremities by a fine quin*.
cunx, while the Place Roy ale Is the
largest of which Metz can boast.
The cathedral, originally known as
the Church of St. Ktienne, is a Gothic
bjdldlng which was begun in the first
years of the third century by Thierry
HI, bishop of Metz, and finished In
1546. The beautiful stained-glass win
dows date from the fourteenth and
sixteenth centuries; those of the choir
are the work of an Alsatian artist
named Valentine Bouseh. ltelics of
Roman dominutioh are found even in
the cathedral ; the baptismal font is an
antique, red porphyry bath, while the
pulpit of St. Clement was carved in
the summit of a Roman column.
The cathedral of Metz Is one of the
largest Gothic basillcasMn existence;
the nave was first built in 1332. under
the direction of Adhemar of Monteii.
a Frenchman. The choir dates from
1503, but the nave was only closed in
1764 by a facade which, It must be
admitted, though due to the celebrated
Blonde!, spoils the aspect of the edi
fice by its classic outlines.
Some Interesting Churches.
Metz possesses several curlout
churches, among which the Church of
St. Sigolene, dating from the end ol
the twelfth century, possesses some
particularly fine stained glass, and a
cha|>el executed after the design of the
Sainte Chappelle of Paris. The church
of the old abbey of St. Vincent, 1248,
Is remarkable for Its fine nave -sup
ported by 12 pillars, the chapters ol
which are decorated by small columns
The Church of St. Clement, all that re
mains of a Benedictine monastery, wai
constructed in the seventeenth cen
tury; while the oratory of the monns
tery of the Templars, belonging to tin
twelfth century and situated In th?
citadel, also offers real archeological
Interest.
Metz contains many picturesque re
mains of the past, such as the old for
titled house dating from the twelfth
century, with its quadrangular dun
geon, situated in the Rue des Trim
taires. In the Hue Nexlrue there is a
charming residence, and In the Itu<
Jurue a curious old door, which', It 18
said, was the entrance to an oraiorj
of the Templars. Rue de la Tete d'O?
commemorates the famous hostelry ol
the same name, which has unfortu
nately disappeared. It was in this inn
that the most brilliant banquets wer?
given at Metz during the. middle nges,
when both the nobles and "ruffians"
amused themselves with tournaments,
nautical festivals, bonfires, prcces
pin-nlrndnn, nnri rppresCMtafl nnt -
of "mysteries," renowned throughout
the whole region.
The greater part of the remaining
public buildings to be seen in Met*
were appropriated during the German
occupation for militnry purj>oses and
will no doubt continue to be so used,
now that I,orralne is once more united
to Km nee. Metz Is Hurrounded by no
less than 12 fortresses built since 1867,
and chiefly ^Ince 1871. The city Is,
moreover? projected by a bsstloned
rampart, built in 1674 on the plans of
Vanbnn and of Carmontalgne, but In
which two gates, dating from the Ht- i
teeuth and sixteenth centuries, have
been carefully preserved. 8even other
gates give access to the stanch old
eJtv. the most curlons being the gate of
the Germans, ballt In 1441V. and
?arorg . which the intfwnltabl* troope i
of General Mangln recently bmuW tbel* -
