others met in the court house last Mon

On motion of Capt. J. C. McMillan, Hon
Jno. W. Crum was made chairman am
A. W. Knight secretary. Mr. Crum statet
the object of the meeting and urged tha
some action be taken along the line in
dicated.^ He said he had made it a ruh
for several years to plant all the provis
ion crops he needed for home consump
tion and made cotton his surplus crop.
Mr. C. A. Milhous spoke along the lim
of raising provisions at home, and his re
marks were well received.
E. T. LaFitte, Esq., also spoke aloiu
the same line, and alluded to the contro
of the grain and meat markets by tin
trusts.
The following resolutions were thei
adopted:
Whereas, we the farmers of Bamben
couuty realize from past experience tin
necessity of keeping the production o
hnimik so as t?
m:ikc it profitable; therefore be it
Resolved, That we will not increase
during the present year, the acreage o:
cotton.
2. We recommend that the fanners o:
this county plant fully as many acres ii
provision crops as they do in cotton.
:>. That where a supply of corn wa:
not made last year, we will increase tin
acreage of corn, in order that we ma]
be sure of a sufficiency.
4. That we will diversify our crop;
wherever possible so as to reduce tin
acreage in cotton.
5. That these resolutions be publishet
in the county papers.
Remarks were made by Dr. J. R. Mc

II. Rice it was decided to meet at thi

' Denmark Doings.
Denmark, April 2.?Hon. John J. MeMakau,
state superintendent of education,
1 and Prof. Ward law, of the South Caro
lina College, visited the Denmark high
r
' school last Tuesday, and spent the entire
' day in the various departments. The <
f %
presence of these two distinguished edit- <
} cators, knowing the great interest they
are taking in secondary education, was i
^ to the school during their stay more than
mere visiting. They are expert, managers ;
of public school forces. Therefore their 1
open suggestions to the superintendent,
1 after a day of investigation, were appli- i
cable to every experienced deficiency, yet 1
the good phases of the school were not
*
' overlooked. These gentlemen saw the \
1 ideal just as quickly as they noted the
least developed plans. The summary of 5
the day's work on the part of the visitors i
" was very gratifying to the superintendent,
and exceedingly complimentary to
* his untiring assistants. The rank of this
school among similar institutions of learning
throughout the state is high. The 1
i ?
coining of these gentlemen was a surprise ,
to the entire corps of teachers. Scarcely
had salutatory courtesies been extended
* before the special request was made that
3 the usual program be carried out to the
5 letter. Such an announcement was re3
ceived with great joy by teachers and
1 pupils alike, all being partially excited at
? Th/i nroconpp nf n visitor to this
VUtVJ. AUV I'i VOV4IW v. ?. . ...
s school is of rare occurrence. If a mcs1
sender should be seen making his way to
the school building, the serious hearts
r turn more grave, and all begin to nerve
r themselves up to such a physical degree
r as will survive the announcement of the
most heart-rending news. But the cultured
visitors soon became our warm
t friends, and teachers and pupils made
haste to catch and respond to the visible
sympathy so manifest in the countenance,
voice and actions of the new-comers.
Mr. McMalian was pleased to see the
spirit of this reputable community working
in such close touch with the latest
educational movements. The trained
' teacher in the school room is a power.
Natural tact is essential. Common sense
p is a choice, necessary element. Refine''
ment and moral culture is grace divine.
These are characteristics of a true teacher,
Nevertheless, a special training for school
work insures the most excellent results.
' It is very easy to teach, once you know
how to teach. The success of the Denmark
school has been established through
^s teachers. The patrons have been content
to stand aloof, and very few of them
j. know what progress has been made. It
r is expected of all teachers that they must
; succeed, no matter what hindrances be1
tide the most sanguine periods of tlevelI
opment. The teacher must tight his own
I battles and stand all criticisms. The
standing of them is a test of his manhood.
P The school is represented to the patrons
a through the children. I cannot imagine
e that there is any uniformity of standards.
p Complaints are made at all quarters. Nor
e does it seem to be a part of the commun"1?

r the walk? or plant a single twig. The
request for a small sum to aid the mainteuancc
and growth of a public library is
a laid on the table without consideration.
. Yet we have a good school. The people
( are deficient in co-operation, and the
j education of children is the smallest
. problem of domestic life. These remarks
may be misinterpreted, unless further
strengthened by what seems to the writer
e the real basis of union between teachers
p and patrons. The hour of crises and
j times of excitement are occasions upon
which the community is a material supe
port to the school officials. The abuser
^ of what is right, in the public eye, is
>. speedily condemned. The indifferent are
n inspired by the enthusiasm of fellow
associates. The community is a big
j factor, but somehow it is such through
e mere dormancy rather than activity.
y What is the cause'? What are the

of the modern fathers. We are
e living too fast. When we sit down to
eat we are invariably in the biggest
t. hurry. Food is not masticated. It *s

jj much discomfort, now and then choked
by it and then unchoked by a rapid taking
j. in or water. Grace is always short. Posn
sibly the theme of our life may be accu[.
rately depicted by quoting u quaint old
Scotch grace, which ruqs as follows:
t'Somp ha'e meat but eanna eat, some can
eat but ha'e nae meat, but we ha'e meat

public through the press. I recall just
jf now a beautiful sentence, the product of
11 some great mind, which may have its use
o widely circulated by quoting it: "Nothing

nelf-denial, no brains, no character are required
to set up iu the grumbling business.
Rut those who are moved to do
N good, have little time for murmuring or

with four of our local sportsmen, spent
the day among the feathery tribe, but

Advantages of Intensive Farming.
By the judicious use of fertilizers, the
method of farming that is known as intensive
farming can be made extremely |
profitable. Let us see whether or not
this is so. Take, for instance, the great
staple crop of the Southern States: cotton.
Labor is scarce in the South, and getting
more and more so ever}' day, and is commanding
better wages than for some
years past, owing to the demand for
white labor in the cotton mills and colored
labor in turpentine fields, railroad,
mining, and other kindred operations.
Wars abroad have made horses and mules
higher than they were a few years back;
add the further fact that feed is bound to
be higher in 1001 than for several years,
we arrive at the conclusion that it will
cost more to run a plow this year than it
did in former years, with the probability
that the cost will grow each year. It
will cost more money, therefore, to till
an acre of land. It is a matter of common
knowledge that it takes less labor to
o.iltivate an acre of land making a bale
of cotton than it does to cultivate an acre
making a half bale, for in the first ease
the crop soon gets up so that it can be
worked largely with a plow, and shades
fie land so that the grass does not grow
rapidly. By a slight increase in the
quantity of fertilizer per acre it is an
easy matter to bring the production per
acre from a half bale to a hale, and the
additional post of the fertilizer.
God be with us all.

Willie P. Felder Acquitted.
Wai.terboro, March 80.?The ease of
the State against Willie P. Felder,
charged with the murder of L. C. Ilerndon,
in Walterboro, on the 18th of last
July, which has been on trial before
Judge Buchanan in the Court of General
Sessions since Wednesday, is ended. The
jury returned a verdict at 4:45 this afternoon
of not guilty. Intense interest was
manifested during the trial. Wednesday
afternoon and Thursday morning w ere
consumed in obtaining the jury. Taking
testimony was finished yesterday afternoon
and arguments were heard this
morning. The filling, as stated in the
News and Courier at the time, was the
result of an attack made upon Mr. Felder
by Herndon because of the refusal of the
former to pay Mr. Ferrell for a string of
spoiled fish. The defendant set up the
plea of self-defence and it was well sustained.
Defendant was* represented by
Howell ? Gruber, and the solicitor was
assisted by Gritlin ?fc Padgett. The verdict
meets with general approval.
