The first Farmers' institute eve held in Lancaster county was liel< at Elgin last summer. The sec ond day it met at Hopewell. A. both of theso meetings severa addresses were made by as marr of Clemson's professors upoi agriculture and kindred subjects The institute this year hel< three meetings in this county? at Heath Spring Wednesday, a White Bluff Thursdav. and n Crai?r8ville Friday. 'I he first speaker introduced a Heath Spring by Mr. Ilicklin president of the institute, wa Colonel J. C. Sellers, of Marion lie stated that he had been em ployed by the Clemson author ities to attend these institute and explain to the farmers some thing of tobacco culture, so lha if any of them, convinced tha there is nothing in growing cottoi at prevailing prices, should decid< t f\ trv no n ? ? V\? v* J v v/ HO a IIIUUC^' UIU|J they might know something o the kind of land suited to it, tin method of cultivating, curing an< marketing that crop. Light-col ored sandy land with a clay sub soil is best adapted for growinj the variety of tobacco known a "Virginia Brights," which com mands, perhaps, the best price o any tobacco that can be grown ii the south. He has tried the cul tivation of this variety on hii Marion farm and is thoroughly convinced that it is far ahead o cotton as a money crop, the ne profit being four or five times as much. Senator Tillman was the nex speaker. He had been invitee here to explain the workings o Clemson and NVinthrop colleges "but I am first going to tell yoi what I don't know of tobacco,' said the senator. lie then pro ceeded to tell his experience ii tobacco growing. lie planted 11 acres, which requires three barn: for curing the crop. He advisee his auditors not to undertake mor< than four acres the first year 01 two. One barn would be sulfi eient to cure that. He starte< out the first of this year to see i tobacco can be profitably growi upon Kdgefield lands. The sprint was so wet that he never got hit land prepared till late, but finally he got it in good condition, witl his rows laid off and the hill; packed down with a hoe ready t< put out the plants from the bet when the next rain came. "But,' said he, in his characteristic style "the next rain didn't come." Bu ho was not to be outdone, so hi hauled water to plant his entiri crop of 12 acres. He got a goot stand, but his neighbors whi planted their tobacco without thi water got a poor stand and sooi plowed up the crop and plantet something else.

R, S. C., SATURDAY^ 2 gent cultivation than cotton, and must be cultivated at the right I time and properly handled or it is a failure. It is not a Negro crop, or a lazy white man's crop, r like cotton. lie advised against 1 sending to North Carolina and Virginia for experts to manage t the tobacco, but advised in favor 1 of Retting them from Darlington, v Florence or Marion. They know i as much about it and can be got i. ten cheaper. 1 He then addressed himself to - Winthrop and Clemson colleges, t Ho had been asked if Clemson t breeds any dudes. He said, uYes ; and all other colleges do." Where t there are 400 boys in brass but , tons, pursued, as they are, by the s girls, it's enough to make dudes . of them. He did not mean to say that the girls pursue these boys half as much as the boys pursue s them. They want to follow their fathers, and they are right. He t advises every man to marry. He t thinks marriage is a success. His i mother turned him over at the b age of 21 to an 18 year-old girl , and he had been under petticoat f government ever since. "A farm0 er without a wife is worse than a 1 dog," he said, with much empha sis. While there are some dudes - and some "no good" boys at 5 Clemson, as at every other cols lege, the body of the boys there - is composed of fine boys, highf toned, honorable and ambitious. i Clemson has recently estab lished a textile department where s boys can learn the cotton milling r business in all its departments f and the result in a few years will t be that our southern cotton mills s will be in charge of southern experts instead of northern. t Clemson is doing a great work. 1 A number of her boys are now f fillinc important, responsible and , lucrative positions. If they had i graduated at any other college in the state they could not have - secured the places. ) But Clemson wants to be let I alone by the pinder eating politi? cians that are sent to the legisla1 ture, and who are striving to undo ? the great work started there upon r tlie plea of professed friendship - for the common schools. If the I money now appropriated to 1 Clemson, Winthrop, the Citadel i and the South Carolina college I r was put. into the public schools, *'il would run them .just two weeks. r And where would the-teachers i come from ? s The senator referred to the fre, quent editorials that appeared in 1 the daily papers a few years ago ' advising capital to stay out of the state, and then called attention t to the increased activity in cotton 3 mill building all over the state. 3 Some one in the audience calli ed on the speaker to tell us 3 comething about the war." He 3 said he did not coine hero to talk 3 politics but when he was conclu 1 ding the request was renewed, "Our baby was sick for a month with severe cough and catarrhal fe. ver.

The speech was well received, oeing punctuated with frequent cheering and "hurrahs for Tillman." VETERINARY SUROEON SPEAKS. The next speaker was Professor Esom, the veterinary surgeon at Clemson, who stroke under the disadvantage of lollowing Tillman and coming just before dinner, lie, however, sustained himself, and told the farmers many things calculated to make them thiuk. We regret that we are unable to make only a brief reference to this interesting address. At this point Mr. Ilicklin announced that after an hour's recess there would be another address before the institute, by Prof. W. S. Morrison, of Clemson. Having left before that time we were denied the pleasure of hearing Professor Morrison, but we learn since that he made a very fine speech on industrial development. This meeting of the Farmers' institute was well attended and should be productive of much good among the husbandmen of our county. Congressman Finley was called upon and responded in a short speech. The exercises were opened with prayer by Ilev. Chalmers Moore of Heath Spring. A good number of ladies graced the occasion with their presence. The meetings at White Blull' and at Craigsville were well at 1 tended we learn. Prof. 1). B. Johnson of Win throp and Mr. Buist who is in charge of the College farm and dairy, attended the Heath Spring meeting. Editor J. J.

COTTON TESTED ?Y FIRE. What the Largest Roundlap Cot* ton Plant in the South Has Done for the Farmer. The Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Co., the Lowry bale of the Planters' Company, and an ordinary sqaure cotton bale were subjected to a thorough going lire test iu L jwell, Mass., June 8th by the Associated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Companies of the United States, for the purpose of determining the relative fire hazzards of the several methods of baling cotton. Two small frame houses, exactly alike, aud some distance apart had been erected on a vacant plot and the space beneath them filled with boards and cotton waste, over which ten gallons of coal oil were poured. Iu one building 8 American Roundlap bales and one square bale were scored. In the other, eight Lowry bales and one square bale. The torch was applied and the flames were per* mitted to burn one hour before being extinguished. It was as hot a blaze as cotton could well be subjected to. There was no test of the square bale, owing to the fact that when the superstructures collapsed, which they did a few minutes after being fired, one of the square bales fell away from the flames and then the other was removed. It was evident and generally conceded that the American Roundlap bale stood the test much better than tbeLowry bale. Nearly all the wires on the Lowry were burned off and the bales elongated from their original length of 3 feet 3 inches to 6 feet and over. This exposed the cotton in the Lowry bales to the flames which were eating into the b?les at many points when the fire was put out. Two of the Lowry baleB broke in two were more badly burned than the others. The American bales stood up splendidly under the severe ordeal. They neither unrolled nrr extended in length, and only the outer surfaces exposed to the intense flame were burned. This latest test, was only another tri umpn tor ine American uotton Company's Roundlap bale. The cotton saved from the fire will he carefully picked over and the salvage reclaimed will be # weighed. It wa- stated hv underwriters present at the Lowell fire test that, at a secret teat recently made as to the ability of the two different styles of round bales to withstand the action of water, after being submerged for some time the wires on the I.owry bales had burst and none of the Lowry cotton was recovered from the test. The American Company's bales came out intact and wet only on the exterior, which soon dried, leaving the cotton as good as ever.
