FASMOS' MEETING HEID IN GAFFNEY, AARON MULL DEAD. INTERESTING TALKS BY CLEMSON PROFESSORS. Ail the Phases of Industrial and Tech nical Education Discussed by Men Who have Made the Subject a Study. Tlio fan.r’tV hisri'ute held in the coil’c I)u’.:s'■ Wc-ilne-sday was a de- cid'^d succes'. Presideiic R. C. Sar- ratt called the incr-tiug to order and iu a J' \v appropriate remarks intro duced Prof. 1). \Y. Daniels, who is professor of English at Clemson. Prof. Daniels is a good speaker, with a splendid voice and was thoroughly enthused with his subject. He dis cussed indu * dal education. After discussing tic i eiditinns and needs of the common 'C.-onis in a general way, he spoke of tiie district a ivant- ages of technical education, illustrat ing in many wavs the superiority of a technically trained man over the common indifferent laborer. He showed how industrial education has bless •<: humanity and forwarded civi lization; bow those nations wnich have the fine-* teohincal schools sur- pa-- others; how we of tiie South ii“- peu i on raie d ..ien irom other ee tions to my iiil aad control on. - great industrial on: erp. ises: and hov it wouM alvvay- no -t» u.itil .»ar chools prepared otir yotin- n eu to fill these positions successful!}. The financial advantages of such training were ^poio n of. but a study of nature arid of science was insisted on. also, bec'ause it enlarges and en nobles life. It was claimed "hat the gloat ntajoi’itN our people mttft labor, most of them on the farm, and that therefore sm-h studies ou.g)it to be ini rod, -eu into our common scnools as v iii fi, the young men and women for the work they must do so that they may realize the highest possible good as citizens. At the conclusion of Prof. Daniel’s .speech, Prof. C. L Newman was in troduce.!. Prof. Newman began by asking* how many present could tell . which side of the grain of corn the root came from and which side made "Ik- stalk. Some one told the pro- ‘ fc-sor and he replied that he was glad i.o 11nve answer, that lie had asked ♦be i;'n. a dun twenty-five diiioreiit times and in only wo instances had the an swer been given. This incident proved that we have some as intelligent farmers in Cherokee as there are in this country. Prof. Newman’s ad dress consisted of asking and answer ing questions that were of practical benefit to those who till the soil. There was no attempt at oratory, but the talk was interesting, intsructive and at times amusing, and we venture the assertion that those present, went away with better (at least theoretical) ideas of farming, although the profes sor insisted that the ideas he ad vanced were strictly practicable. The nex* speaker was Dr. L. A. Klein, veterenarian. Dr. Klein pro duced a model of the hoof of a horse and in a very plain but attractive manner explained this particular limb of the horse and its functions. After he had finished he announced that if anyone present desired to ask any questions he would be pleased to answer if in his power *.o do so. The remainder of his time was taken up in answering questions as to the causes and remedies for diseases of quadruped animals, and much infor mation of practical value was ad duced. At the conclusion of Dr. Klein’s talk. Chairman Sarratt announced that a meeting of the farmers of Cherokee would be held in the court house on the first Monday in August for the purpose of perfecting an or ganization to advance the interes*. of the farmers materially and socially by holding regular staled meetings and having successful farmers give their experience with various crops. Such an organization could not but be beneficial to the farmers In every way and Tho Ledger would applaud any effort of the fanners *o bring about «’u , h an organization. His Son in Jail on the Charge of As saulting the Father. Spartanburg. July 19.—Aaron Mull, a middle aged white man who was brought to the city seriously wounded about two weeks ago from Clifton and placed in the Spartanburg hospital for treatment, died this afternoon. At the time he was injured his son. Duff Mull, was committed to jail charged with making an assault on his father, by Magistrate Potter, of Cow pens. He is still in jail. The body was brought from the hospital to Floyd’s undertaking establishment ' '- night, where Magistrate R. B. Pas- lay began an inquest, acting as coro ner. Owing to the fact that all mate rial witnesses Jive at Clifton, (he in quest was adjourned after taking the testimony of Drs. (!. \V. Heintish and L. Jeffreys, who waited on the man testified tliat in their opinion the blow which resulted fatally to Aaron Mull was not the result of a fall, but must have been intlioted. The inquest will conclude tomorrow morning. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE, MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.
