CLENSON*B RIGHT HUN The following wus the leading jditorial in The Barnwell Senti lei in its issue of the 19th, inst. >-i as it exactly expresses our "Ct.iu?ents, we take pleasure in 'resenting it to our readers, 'he report of the meeting of leinson trustees was published u The People of last week. Ctowba'ft Eight Hundred. We iiolitted in the report of th< re t:t meeting of the trustees of Clem ?i Colk'go the statement that it liad ii decided to build a new dormitory pabie of accommodating two liuti . *d students, in order tlint Clemsoii's I'ollinent may be eight hundred. '? hi le we do not claim to know tiiore ..?ii the honored board of trustees, v ?'? we fail to see the odvisability or ? necessity of the dormitory at this ' '? e, utiles* it be upon the line of the ? . est ion made by that sage of sages . i is located at Columbia and super ids t he general ediieational affairs >t lie Stat.*, viz: "We need larger en ?iiKMits in our colleges in order to out line foot ball teams. " >Ve grant, that n number of young )?n ar* refused entrance to Clemson cry year, but think that the better - .in to re.:iedy this evil would be, in land ot erecting a tiew dormitory, to those already built with COLLEtiN ;d(!ents. Not that we mean the pres ?til building* are not taxed to their "most capacity, but that a large por ion is occupied by bkiii hciiooi. stu h iUs. Let the high school and com* .? mi school training be secured at i *'lic. I.ast year there 14."? cadets in l'< ! preparatory or hyrli school depart - ?lout, thus depriving 14.? boys who de red college education, and who were ?repared for entrance to college, from ? tering at Clemson if they desired to ? there. lint, says one, Clemson in the far ie.-9' school ami the majority of the joys on the larm can't secure sufficient 'duration to prepare them for entrance a. the college, hence the necessity for tire preparatory department. This ar Tu.uvut may appeal to some, but to us ii appears as poor economy to erect a oitilding at a cost of many thousand .oilars in order to have a high school hi one corner of the State so that .ariners' boys" can get fully prepared > enter college. If it had not been ;? the college. 'll it had not been for e high school students at Clemson ?'lege H."? more college students could v" been admitted last year. Now to l seems that a better plan would be cut out the preparatory department d let the money necessary to erect .is building be applied to the coin on school fund, or else at some cen ally located place have a Stale high ?nool. \o mention was made of the manner which the money for the new bnild , was to be secured, and as it ap ?i?rs that the building is to be erected the near future, we presume that ' e where- wit li-all is to come from the 'ldrfome income now received by nson from the privilege tax on fer ??ts. Now, if it is so that Clem 's income rrom the regular appro itiini, the special funds and the tilizer tax is sufficient to meet all unvnt expense and still leave a plus large enough to build and isb another large doimitory, it (rs us that Clemson is getting the ?'sbbare of the taxpayers'* money icliool funds. And right here we i to state that we are in no wise ' idiced against Clemson. The col is doing a grand work lor the c and we woold not see it sutler in way from lack of funds, lint if '?e be this surplus, and the tndica .!? are such, then we, say build no ?v dormitories, but fill those already ? with full-niedged COM,KOK >NTS, and after leaving Clemson ? sufficient for all expenses, ap ? V i lie remainder to the commhn ' fund, so that am, the ii n for "?> e country lads who can't get . v*r education in t In* country ?ola will Iw benefitted instead of i v the fkw whose parents are able ? \up them at a boarding school. I it be thought best to apply this >cy lor the purpose of higher edu nn, wo suggest that, after Clem ? has been given all she needs to tale the si* hundred C(>f,T,K(JK ' . fits, the remainder he given to 1 < Carolina CnivernJty, so that It tr made a u til verify in fa?t as ' i ?' >'t name ? tin leys it should be r -ii that the extent of theapproprl ?on would paralyze .tliv board of ?is'iies with surprise. '? Tore writing this articl* yr<> wired . Mell, asking the number iff cadets ?Jm preparatory ilas* ; but not liear froin htm we took the figures from yeu-'s r&pvrt to the Cental >l0'. Just before going to press hay* received the following *1^ or to otn telegram : "There are W tin preparatory class." Signed P to V* waaft toTSfcU the atteotloo of <my irckiit and wuim gm?d in any other line uf has i ms to a local published else where in this issue entitled* "What a Newspaper does." Every word in it Is true, and the only fault we find is that it does not go far enough . For instance, Judge Davis did . not tell his hearers that the newspapers of a town or city are accepted by the outside world as a true in dex of the kind of men who live in those towns and cities. If the paper displays good advertising Patronage, and tl>e editorial and local work shows snap and vim, the reader of that paper will naturally and properly assume that its patrons are men of en terprise and good business judge ment. If, on the other hand, the advertisements ure few and unwarrantedly small, and the general muko-up poor in quulit3' that same reader will inevitably stamp the community iu which it circulates us slow, unenter prising, and wofully lacking in true public spirit. No other con clusion can possibly be reached. The advice given to business men generally to -patronize your home paper, not as a chari ty but as an investment," should be framed in letters of go'd, and tiling in tlte office of every busi ness man. But, as we said, the speaker did not go far enough. He should have included iu his advice, that you should also patrouize your local paper us a duty you owe to yourself, the proprietor of the paper uud the community. That duty consists partly in subscribing to all home papers, and largely in supporting them y as liberal advertising patron age us Is consistent with your means, while u third part of your uty lies in talking them up among your friends and visitors. It you consistently perform these three items of duty, you need have no fear of financial, or any other k-nd of loss. Your editor, or editors will glvo you ? better p.n>er. Your business will be improved iu ,t fur , amount in proflts tin,,, your ad vertisement cost you. und out ers Wl" 1)0 attracted to the community who would uot other wise have thought twice about a ? town or city whose business men are seemingly too poor to give their newspapers the pa tronage to which, by reason of the public and gratuitous work work they give you, they are justly entitled. We have had business men to say to us tlmt they bud never been able to see where advertis ing had paid them. Our invari able reply lias been that see it or not, eveiy business advertise "lent does jwy ule advertiser. ie <ipplicutiou of a very little common sense will make that Plain to the densest intellect.

WATER ON DEMAND. Water Is an absolute necessity at all Uaes for fowls. Don't think lor a aoaent that the fowls ean do well or live a great while without plenty of water, and during the hot weather this should *have special uttentiou, for a clean, cool drink is as grateful to thorn as to ourselves. No one should neglect the water supply for either the young or the old stock. In fact, they could not for long grind their food or pass it through the crop without plenty of water to aid in the process, for by the aid of water is the food softened, di gestion aided and the system sustained. It is not much trouble to till the water pots twice a day during hot weather, uud the fowls need it every hour. WutcU the little chicks run uud take a little at a time then run away to feed and soon they come back for a little more. This continual supply of moisture aids tliem in grinding and digesting their food and they must have it all the time aud plenty of it or they will not thrive as they should. ? Exchange. TIME TO HATCH. Chicken eggs hatch in twenty one days, duck eggs in twenty eight, geese eggs in thirty, tur key eggs in twenty-eight, guinea fowls ill twenty -five, jmrtridges iu twenty-four, and ostriches in forty to forty-two duys. A strictly fresh egg, as u rule, will hatch several hours earlier than a stale one. There is also a difference in the time of hatch ing of eggs caused by the habits of the bird sitting on them. Some hens sit closer to the eggs than do others and so keep the eggs at a more even temperature. Such eggs are about certain to hatch before others. ? Commer cial Poultry. FAItMHIlS* UNION NO YES. Notice to tlic Farmer.* of South Carolina. You are hereby called tu meet in del egated power at Anderson, 8. CJ., May 31st, 11HM1, for the purpose of organi zing a preliminary .State Union. lias is of representation in organized counties will be one delegate for one hundred members, or majority fraction thereof, in counties where there is no County Union, one dele gate from each local union. All far mers who are members are invited to attend. All counties that have no Farmers' Union organization are invited to send farmer delegates . i'lense send names of delegates to B. K. Kurle, An derson, S. C., ten days before. The purpose for which the State Union is called is to adopt a constitu tion and by-laws to govern the Far mers' Union iu South Curolina, and to bring the farmers in a close and secret organization for the purpose of holding and controling the price of cotton. Also to encourage the building of a Farmers' Union warehouse iu every couuty in South Carolina to be owned and controlled by furmers. B. F. Earle, State Organizer. ? # # A good two-horse disc harrow will throw up about as good cotton bed at one time going as we want. This is good work where land has been broken, and saves a big sight of laber and time. We are not after high cotton beds like we usee to be; we must come down about on a level. This plan gives bet ter protection to the moisture in dry times. The charocter of the fnrMier is writ ten or painted all over his farm about this time of the year. If there is not ii large amount of green fields of small grain on your farm there is some kind of a green farmer around there. Scarcity of laber rails for more stork ami more machinery and farm iinpll ments and richer land. You must go fewer times up and down the rows and prepare one acre to make an much as two did before. Pine Creek Mili Notes, Mr. Editor: Seeing your re quest for Mill News, I have con cluded to write you a few lines. I haven't been here long, but find these people to be just about th?3 best to get along with. They remind me of a man who lived near a graveyard, who was asked if he didn't find the location un pleasant. His reply was, "No sir. Never lived by better peo ple in my life. They attend to their business and I attend to mine. " Wo need a good Sunday school out here morning and evening, with some hymn books with hymns like "Come humble sin ner, &e,"in them. Old time books. They used to be good, and so did the old time preacher, and tl?ey are good yet. I can't give you much news this time as this is my first, and you may not priut it. Wo have two new bosses in the mill, Mr. McLure, spinning J room boss, and Mr. J. W. San- 1 dors, boss of the weave room. Uotli of tliem are very clever gentlemen. No more at present from Yours truly, Wig Jwn. Attention. CawlidatoN. Below we give you the full text of an act passed by the 1905 Legislature, which every candi date should read and prottt by. 80 far us we are poncerued, we consider the act a silly produc tion throughout. Its author, and those who voted to make it a law doubtless intended it as a step in the direction of cleaner politics, but you have never seen clean politics, nor will you see them during our generation. Some are a little dirtier thau others, that is all. The only thing we can see in this act is the giving of unneces sary trouble to candidates, and opportunity for the exploit ing of private spleen against in dividuals. However, it is the law, and must be obeyed. Fol lowing is a copy of the act : Section 1. At or before ?'V**ry politi cal primary election, lieWI by any political party, organizatMwi or as sociation, for ttie purpose of choosing candidates Tor office or the election of delegates to conventions 111 this state, any person who shall, by threats or any other form of intlinidat ion, or by the payment, delivery or promise or money, or any other article of value, procure or offer, promise or endeavor | to |>ro. -lire another vote for or against any particular candidate in such elec tion, or who shall, for sueh consideru tion, offei to so vote, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 2. Every candidate offering for election, under the provisions of sec tion 1, Ahull make the following pledge and Hie the same with tin* clerk of court of common pleas for the county in which he ii a candidate, unless lie should he a candidate in more than one county, in which case he shall Ule with tlie secretary of state, before h- shall enter upon his campaign, to-wit : I, the undersigned of the < county of - ? and State] of South Carolina, candidate fur the ; olUce of hereby fledge i hat I will not. give nor spend money or use | intoxicating liquors for the purpo.-e of i obtaining or influencing votes, ?. nd | that I shall, at the conclusion of thv \ campaign and before the primary elec tion, render to the clerk of court (or secretary of state, as here in be fore pro vided,) under oath, an itemize! state ment of all moneys spent or provided I by me during the campaign lor cam paign purposes up to that time, and I further pledge that 1 "will, immediate ly after the primary elect I. ill or elec tions that I am a candidate in, render an itemized statement, uuder oath, showing all turther moneys spent or provided by me in said election : Pro vided. That a failure to comply wi:h this provision shall render such elec tion null aud void, in so far as the candidate who tails to file the state ment herein required, but shall not effect the validity of the election of any candidate complying with this section. And provided, further, That such itemized statement and pledge shall be opened to public inspection at all times. 3ec. 51. That any, violation of any ol the provisions of this Act shall be a misdemeanor, aud any person, upon conviction thereof, shall be lined not less than $100 nor more than #">00, or be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than one month nor more than six months, or both line aud imprison ment, in the discretion of the court. from CuM.sntt.
