Garrison lias been assigned to Anderson County as farm demon strator tor the county. We do uot know of a man who will do mon- for lin- county than will Mr. Garrison, ami we lru.it 111'1 people of the county will re?oive Mm "buck home" with open arms, and give him all the coopera tion and assistance, he shall need to make tlii? a banner year agricultural ly in Anderson County. We are not second to any county in South Curo llua In the amount and variety of products which may he made on the farm, and we do not know a man who an inspire more confidence <>r who knows (letter how to tell the people of the county how to a< bjeve greater and mon- lusting results than Mr. Garri son. Reared on the fa.m and educated it Clemson College, with the subse quent training he had in developing Hie coast experiment station, he comes well equipped with the cxpe-lenon and training which should Rive his ut terances weight. That Mr. (?arrison has a man's Job no one will deny. He has the best county in the State to work in. and lie has some of the brainest farmers to cope with in making his work felt ami seen. Hut Mr. Garrison is peculiarly fitted by nature for this work, and difficulties only strengthen Jils determination to succeed. He will do his part in the agricultural awak ening that is sure to come in Anderson County when the matter of diversifica tion of crops is brought up and made to ?HsiiPie the magnitude properly be longing to this revolution in methods by modern fanners. This gospel of grain Is one Mr. Garrison is well qualified to preach, and he has demon strated that he can make "two blades of grass grow where one grew be fore." Among the things Mr. Garrison will give much attention to is the organiza tion of this year's Boys Corn Club and <i county fair to be held next fall. These are two things too much atten tion cannot be given to, and they both mean much for the development of tiie county. The Intelligencer wishes to offer its columns to Mr. Gurrison to carry his messages to the farmers of the coun ty. . He .has promised to have com munications from time to time, unit we trust that his writings will help tis make the farmers page a factor for the development of the agricultural Interests of the county. 'We welcome him I'd Anderson and to the county. RAISE A COLT" SLOGAN. The Intelligencer wishes to call at tention to a grave mistake being made in many sections of the State in selling horses and mule* to agents for ship ment to the war countries. Several car loads of farm animals have al ready been shipped from this and ad joining counties, and while they will bring those who sell a little ready cash, it is a bad policy. They will be badly needed by the farmers, and it will be found thai the matter of re placing them ?will bo one of difficulty, and horses juid mules will sell to the farmers when they have to buy again at a greatly advanced price, or we do not correctly read tho signs of the times. Instead of selling their work ani mals our farmers should bo trying their hand ut raising horse and mule colts. Now, if Anderson and adjoining counties raised more horses and muics than they need for their own purposes there would be some excuse for selling so many, but till tnls Is done there should be no more sales made. It is a safe bet that these buyers have exhausted the large stock farms out west before coming South, and it can thu3 be readily seen that the price of !>rn? antmuls will go up as the price of whe.1t has risen. It is a part of economy and good business Judgment to hold on to the horses and mules of the country. As a slogai. to take the place of the foolish ''Buy-a-Uale" slogan* of a few weeks ago, let us f start this one: "Raise a Colt." On a recent visit to Clemson College we saw several very fine colts being raised there, and we were told that a mule colt could be raised to work at a cost of not more than $100. Of course, this means that there must he good pasturages and' business methods employed in attend ing to them. How many members of the "Raise a Colt" campaign can we enroll in Anderson County? "THE TRENTON ID*EA." The card of Chairman Hamraett calling attention to the necessity for liberal subscriptions for the support of the chamber of commerce was timely, and we trust has resulted in material increase in the amounts sub scribed by many. If the chamber of commerce is to do its greatest and best work it must not be hampered by a lack of funds. As suggested by Mr.' Haromett, debt and ' financial strin gency will defeat the ends for which the organization is striving. An active rhnmher is very much needed Just now, more so, porhnps them ever before. It occurs to Th? Intelligencer that Ulis would be a good time to institute the "Trenton Idea" and extend the membership of the organization be yond the limits of the city. There are muny good and able men outstde the clly who would make valuuhle mem bers, und whose duca would ko far towards keeping up the efficiency of tho, work. Then, too, the work of the chamber of commerc e should be ex tended, und there are many county wide projects that should engage at tention. True, these have been pro moted, but why not have some mem bers from the rural districts to help push them along? We puggest "The Trenton Idea." (LKMKON AS A MILITA It Y COLLEGE? President Uiggs told the editors at the recent conference at Clemson Col leg*' that he wished them to offer any suggestion or criticism that came lo mind as to the management of the col lege. The editor of The Intelligencer does not wish to he classed as a critic of this splendid institution, and mo saw much there to commend, and lit tle that could be criticised. We shall offer one small suggestion which we believe would add to the efficiency of the college, and would create a bet ter impression upon the observer, and have a better effect upon the student body. We would like- to see Cletmnrr t'ollege more military. This college is a military college, and as .such has the services of an army olncor as' commandant. In the man the military features are ob served, but there are many Hi tie things done that are not strictly mil itary. For instance, cadets are allowed to wear citizen overcoats, and a lew cadets may wear them while many do not. The cadets do not* respond as promptly to military commands as strict military discipline demands. In /lurching at attention the ranks are not kept as well "closed up" U3 they .might he. and one cadet was Been marching into chapel with his hands in his pockets. So far as we saw, this was not corrected. Marching into the dining hall they were allowed to fall out of ranks, and the marchers to class rooms did not keep strict order. We are not calling attention to these things in a fault finding way, ' hut simply to afford a reason for a sug gestion we shall make. We would 8ugge3t that strict, mil itary discipline bo enforced, and that cadet officers require strict obedience to nil. commands, thus placing Clem son College on a par with other mil itary institutions. As a further sug gestion we would like to see alt pro fessors and officials of the college in uniform. This would add* greatly to the appearance of the corps and to the neatness of the dress. It would be uniform, and would not be more costly thaq citizens clothes are. ; We .feel sure that the commandant will agree with us that these suggestions arc worthy consideration. In a recent address on the military college, Col. O. J. Hond, superintendent or the Citadel said: ,. ' ^X-V-l "The invaluable lessons of prompt and cheerful obedience, of consistent punctuality, or orderliness-.and 'Indus try taught by military disclpllnejare among Its best recommendations. ' The systematic routine of military training is not wanted time, but a recognition of proper proportions. "In the military system, duty is a word much heard and often cordially hated. Hut the moral value of placing duties upon college students, arduous, oftentimes unpleasant duties, has a high value in appearing to their man hood and sense of honor. "Hcspect for law aud authority is one of the first lessons taught in mil itary discipline. In fact, there 1j an objection raised to military training b. cause it teaches a boy to obey un questlonlngly. But It seems to me that .the military system, where a young man leads for four years a life of self restraint, obedience to law, and atten tion to duty, produces habits which w??H be of Inestimable service in after life." ? Hcferring to the matter of wearing uniform he said: j "Consider for n moment the democracy of the uniform. The bro ganned boy from the plow handle on the farm and tho well-dressed youth from the city do not look much unlike when they stand in uniform side by j side in the ranks. In uniform they start at the post together, neither with any handicap, and it is to be the better man who wins the race, char acter and merit alone will count." The above remarks arc Intended as ja kindly suggestion and not meant as a criticism. To the casual observer, not Initiated in strict military usages* these minor oversights in discipline would not.be observed, but they are noticeahlo to. a man of military ex perience. Clemson College in her S00 strong young mon, has the making of o. military college second to none in the country. We hope to see this school the peer of the Citadel, the V. M. I., or any school in military tactics as well as m other. Unes. i } How Mr. Davis flot Hid of u Bad Cough. "Some time ago I had a very bad cough" WTites Lewis T. Davis. Blaok water, Del.
