THUR D AY, MAY, 15, 1902. Saturday. May 10th, set apart as Memorial Day, was not generally recognized in Pickens. 0 * * If you have too much land place some of it on the market. Let oth er good people know about it, and you will help to build up your s ection, Pickens county only needs a few more people to take up and culti vate some of the excellent surplus lands we have, so that all may con centrato their etforts to good ad vantage on smaller areas. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars turned loose in and around Pickens in the construction of a t cotton m3iill would do everybody some good, individually, and hel r the town and section 'beyond cal- t culation. Clemson College was built and is operated for the bonefit of the boys of South Carolina who need t and want such advantago as it af fords. The institution was not founded to make good paying jobs for poor professors. t It has been decided by the Char leston Exposition authorities tha t the show will close ns originully planned, the Ist of June. So don't defer your trip. This is the time oj to see the Exposition in all its u, beauty. et * * * p It took something like the bite to Sophomore class disturbance to jar the Clemson authorities a little, CO and it is bolieved the inivestiga- ki tion of affairs will prove of posi- 11 tive benefit. The investigation W seems to be thorough. *~ * With meat away up and very mn little of it in the country, the se cropper ought to learn a lesson co that will serve him the balance of re his days. There is no good reason ti, why this country should be depen- of dent on the west for this kind of pl1 supplies,.c Last week was a regular relig. ti ions convention week. The Pres by terian Synod was in session in Charleston, 8. C., the Baptist Con - Convention in Asheville, N. C., pt and the Methodist General Confer - ence in Dallas. In all these relig. tl1 tous business meetings things in-. a! teresting were looked after. i *0** p We are living in a fast age, and h~ conditions are constantly changing b but a principle never changes. It w is only the necessity for the reu b newed application of the principle al that malres it seemi out of place to ti apply it to conditions when they b are sought to be used for the warp,. n ing purpose. of time serving agita tors. The right kind of a "Fourth of t July" celebration will do good to t Pickens. To make it a succeSS, 5 every business man in town and f< every man in the neighborhood ni who feels an interest in the growth f< of the town and cunty and regards r the happiness and pleasure of the f people ought to take active part in S it. We believe the people will z prove their broadness in this of fort. This country never looked more c Inviting than now. The farmers haveplanned wisely anid well, and most of them are well up with their work. There are unmistaka ble evidences that the people are Xroceeding with economy, in plain Wlaw, and with reasonable seasons tbI oopsu hsyear will measure up to general eOppotatibis , Ta. b4.n altogethe, thie prospoots are 0.Totthat kAhl 8ampo II dead andl bairl d, tnoat otti . , .aer ae saa good things 1 about him, One good th'u In hisI favor, and one that wl appae a ooittherel people genuerally, Is the fact that lhe could hot and would bot knuddle to (ien.

It does seem that there was a great deal of uin" It now appears that a creditabli statuo to honor Wade Hampton will be unveiled at an early day. Prospects for good crops vero never better. Farmers appear to be genorally up with their work md ejen wheat which promised so little a fow weeks back now shows up to a good advantage. * * * What a difference in the county business is noticeablo since the county is able to pay cash on all contracts. This ine-ans a saving to the taxpayelrs and a Con-ivenienc'.0 to overy one that does businoss with the CommIIIissionlers. The Pickens brick yard is last buildiug up a reputation and1 do ing a big business in the biick hine. Several large contracts are now being looked after by manaoger W. E. Stevenson who knows his busi less and is giving his patros the 'ery bcst quality of brick. Senator McLau rin 1 appears to inve developed decided fighting endlencies.

Those who have used shredding Ichines in Pickens county are lhng hay at good prices and can 1ut on their supply of hay for idy money. Another thing no sed is that in the neighborhood a settlement shredder, the p)eo s have more and better stock and Itle and bettor lands as the re it~s of attention to the produc >nl of stock feed and to stock ~epi ng, * * * Good farming pays, and it ap ars that this year 1.902 will show me extraordinary exampilles of e right kmnd of application ong this lie. T1hie two success e "hard years'' havo set our poo0 le to thinking and, thinking, they wvo boen convinced and having mon convinced, they have gone to ork to do what they believe can a done in the way of development ong agricultural lines. Th is coun - 'y is making strides never kno wn rforo, b)ut we have only comf ienced to-do things. From all accounts, tho Clemson ollege trustees wenit to the bot >m of the trouble in that institu 01), and the result is that the >phomiores are allowed to apply >r re-admission, and many resig ations by Professors will no doubt >lIow. Cadet Thornwell has been ei nstated and the faculty CenIsuIred er lax disciplino heretofore. It al o appears that President Hart og's resignation was handed ini bout the timo of the trouble, and general cloaning out is oxpectedl y the time another _school year pens. There is reason in laying up for rainy day, and the same reaso~s *pplies with equal force for tihe uright, sunny (days of crop making. 'he man who must buy meat nd corn for the 1902 crop will atch tho force of this. Corn is high, mneat is high, flourjis high-everyh hing that] can be grown in Pick no county is high. This ought to each a lasting lesson and help the eople 80 to plan and to plant that hey may not hencetorthi be at the nercy of the variable~cotton mar Cot. It is feasible and a~lost recessary thatye proceeud forthwith with the Idea that cotton shall be regarded a surpluS money crop, and, with that purpose, make that eurplus orop on lands that will produce twice the amount of cot'. ton gownI on all the lands planted in cotton. There is no qnestion about It--this can be done. Poley's llony .ae Tar ,ufgI aMWs. nan A Politiclian Not a Sfatesmen.. In the long ago, it Was correct t so speak of the saio manl as statesillan or politicani, but it i not correct now, for they are vor differenat. A politician is a trickster a wir puller, a cunning fellow, w,.ho wil stoop or resort to ali most anythin to cariiy his Point or got votes.

'Tis a well known fact that near ly all our important oflifes are fil led by politicans rather that states men, We think, howovor, that the people are beginning to tiI k in the right direction, when tUhey do, they will act right, and the glorious days will collo again, when statesani will bo relegated to the rear. Then the righteous will rulo, anid the peoplo will rejoico. God's word is trute and it. doclaros that Awhen the wiektd rulo then the people mourn; and when tho right 0ous rule the people rojoice.

THE MANGO.' [ts Propagation-How to Make and Set Cuttings. A Florida correspondent of Farm, Field and F. eside gives this method [)f propagatin the mnmgo: Take a cutting (terminal preferred) of well ripened wood in a dormant state from eight to twelve inches long. The stock may he of equal size or hir ger thai the cutting and should he hi a growing condition. Alake an incision on the side of the stock eliar the ground from two to four inches long, removing only a thin shaving of wood, much as for in nrehing, but making at the saeie time a tongue, as for side grafting. Then make a like Incision, with a corresniiln:- tongue, on the side of the cutting, but it should he made within about two Inche0s oif the top of the cuttIng. Thenw ipress the codr respondlig tongues fimly In placte and wrap with strong cloth. The exposed1 end oif the cutting, hav ing becen firmly pressed0( into the so11, should be thoroughly watered end the soil drawnl around the whole so that little if any of the wrapping Is expos ed. It remains then only to water dnily until the un-lion ia formed. A piartial pr-otection from the wind and sun is desirable but not abisolutely essential in our cliimato. The top) of the stock should lbe remiovedl as soon as the union is formied and under certain cir' eumstanaces pirobltliy at first. A Five Row Corn Marker. The cut shows a five rowv corn mark or. The runners are 1% or 2 feet long, o inches wvide and 2 inchtes thick. They are phn-ed as far apart as you waent your rows and two three inch b~oarde (A) nialled on top. D) is a handle.
