Suppose you had the questions a month, six months or a year before hand. Don't you think you could make the desired grade without trouble.

NeIIH Henry M.

Surely ho is crazy or get. big pay to make the prediction o1 a 12,000,00 bales crop). I am satis fled that 8,000,000 bales would bc abig estimate for this present croi of 500 p~ounds to the bale. I will put $10,000 with Mr. Neill thai 8,000,000 bales is nearer the num ber than 12,000,000. -So Mr. Neill b~ack your judgment with your money. -Yours in haste, JERtREMIAHI LoOPERi,* Pickens, S. C.

Clemson College S. 0, has *: sluguiated a wbaiv ranch f study, A te e-departme h been ad deffiider the directio, of' Prof. e'aty, and in the work thws4 r ac omplished it is said that his ex ections have been more than re alized. During the next college year there wvill bo nine seniors and a half a hundred juniors, besides many w ho are ei-tering the lower clasess with the intention of taking the textile course. These young 11ion 10are from repsontative famillii ies of this and othler states. Mluch work has been done dur ing tho suimmer and several new machines are oil the iay to ho in stalled at an early daito. The de partmont is vell equipped for teaching the process cf manufac. turilg, and besides lectures will be given oin c.ttoin fibre. sampling, gradng, mill construction, fibre protection, etc. Inl speaking of the need of such a t'-aiiing, Prof. Beaty suys: "Of ill the leading manufactures the textile induistry is of most im portance to this country. The manipu'tifion of cot ton, converting it into yarn and clotl, its com mercial distribution, both foreign and domestic, furnish employment to any army of workers. To hold a position of responsibility, and ConiSe(juently' of highor compensa tion, it is iecessary to be posted, not only on Construction of ma chiles themselves, but also in pro cess of manufacturing, and in many details of the business, ac cording to the position held there in. With the rapid growth of Colpetitiol, both foreign and(1 do mestic, the manufacturers of tex tiles are finding it necessary to emplov skilled malagels, prefer ably with knowledge, not only of the iachines and the process in which they work, but also in all the scientific or artistic principles uinderlyilg them, and excellence of workmanship, or to making fa brics more tasteful in desigl." Every word of this is true. If the Soulth hopes to succeed in t h, cottor industry sho nnust have a bountiful supply of skilled work men,, and with such a supply she may easily make herself mistress of the field. Tihe only advantage which New Eniglanid possesses over the South is ini thlis respect. Now Engiai hals for many years been a mnanuflactulring commulllnity aund hier people hafv() been trained iln the art of mnanufactuure. Whien thle South hlas started up a factory she has boon forced to sen1d to New England for skilled wvorkmuen, but she ia learning better, and this tex. tile school in fouth Carolina is thec beginning of a great revolution ini this sectionl of the country.
