The Editor.
Consider the editor. He weareth
purple and fine linen. His abode is
* amongst the mansions of the rich. His
wife hath her limousine and his first
born sporletti a racing car that can hit
her up in forty flat
Lol All the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money. A child is
bora ante the wife of a merchant in the
bazaar. The physician getteth ten
goMeo planks. The editor writeth a
stick and half and telleth the multitude
that the child tippeth the beam at nine
pounds. Yea, he lieth even as a cen
turion. And the proud father giveth
him a ere mo.
Behold, the young one groweth up
and graduateth And the editor putteth
into his paper a swell notice. Yea, a
peach of a notice. He telleth of the
wisdom of the young woman and of her
exceeding comeliness. Like unto the
roses of Sharon is she and her gown is
played up to beat the band. And the
dressmaker getteth two score and four
iron men. And the editor getteth a
note of thanks from the S. G. G.
The daughter goeth a journey. And
the editor throweth himself on the story
of the farewell party. It runneth a
column, solid. And the fair one re-
membereth him from afar with a pic
ture postal card that costeth six for a
jitney.
Behold, she returneth and the youth
of the city fall down and worship. She
picketh one. Lo, she picketh a lemon.
But the editor calleth him one of our
most promising young men and getteth
away with it. And they send unto him
a bid to the wedding feast and behold,
the bids are fashioned by Muntgum-
mery Hawbuck, in a far ciiy.
Flowery and long is the wedding
notice which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth ten bones. The groom
standath the editor off for a twelve-
month subscription.
All flesh is grass and in time the wife
is gathered into the silo. The minister
getteth his bit. The editor printeth a
death notice, two columns of obituary,
three lodge notices, a cubit of poetry
and a card of thanks. And he forget-
teth to read proof on the head, and the
darned thing cometh out “Gone to Her
Last Roasting Place.”
And all that are akin to the deceased
jumpeth on the editor with exceeding
great jumps. And they pulleth out
their ads and canceUeth their subscrip
tions and they swing the hammer unto
the third and fourth generations..

Farmers, Teachers, Ministers and Others
to Be Instructed.
For four weeks of this summer, the
agricultural faculty of Clemson College
will be devoting its time to four short
courses, plans for which have already
been announced. The courses will be
given to farmers, rural school teachers
of agriculture, rural ministers and
corn club boys. An attractive pam
phlet describing the courses has been
printed and this and other information
may be obtained by applying to J. C.
Littlejohn, Registrar, Clelmson College:
The farmers,’ teachers' and boys’
courses will be held from August 9
to September 4. The ministers' course
will be held from August 10 to August
20.
The summer courses have been so
arranged that one can get just what
he most needs even though he is unable
to stay at the college for all of the four
weeks. In the farmers’ short course,
the first week will be “Dairy Week,"
the second week, “Animal Husbandry
Week,” the third week, "Horticulture
Week,” the fourth week, “Agronomy
Week.”
Teachers of agriculture in the rural
schools will be given an excellent
opportunity to acquire valuable in
formation on their subject They will
have both theoretical and practical
work. Superintendent Swearingen
has issued a letter to county super
intendents. trustees and teachers,
directing their attention to this short
course for teachers at Clemson
College and urging them to give it their
active support.
In each county, the two winning
Boys' Corn Club members were offered
as prizes a scholarship in a short
course at Clemson College and it is
believed that a large proportion of the
boys will take advantage of the oppor
tunity and come to Clemson for the
course in August. A special curriculum
will be mapped out for them and they
will have the best instruction from both
the agricultural department and the
extension and demonstration forces.
The course for country ministers
will be the first of its kind in the
South. In part it will emphaszie rural
economics, centering about the church,
and In part it will teach agricultural
subjects.
It will cost one dollar to matricu
late in any course and the other ex
penses will consist of three dollars
a week for board, room, laundry,
water and one dollar a week for
laboratory fees.
The entire equipment of the agri
cultural department and of the li
brary will be at the service of those
who take the summer course. A
series of evening lectures, some on
agricultural subjects, will be open to all
The athletic field for base ball and
tennis will be available for recrea
tion. In the boys’ course, the last
hours in the afternoon will be de
voted to base ball, basket ball, track
work, swimming and gymnasium.
It is expected that among the nightly
lectures there will be some of very
special merit. The complete list of
speakers and subjects will be an
nounced later. One of these lectures
will be given each evening at 8 o’clock
and many will be illustrated. Each
Saturday evening there will, be a mov-
ihg-picture entertainment pertaining to
some branch of agriculture.
Those who enroll for these courses
may stay one week or four, as they
wish. For ' information on the sub
ject, write to J. C. Littlejohn, Registrar
Clenason College. —..
Col. E. H. AH, of the Newberry Her-
aid and News is congratulating himself
on having found at least one “Ameri
