At tho last meeting of tho Hoard of Trustees of tho Clems.in Agricultural College, I was requosted to notify the farmers at large of the willingness of the Board to co-operate with them in tho work of holding Farmers' Institutes at least one in each Congressional Dis triet. Tho Trustees will send Professors of the College, and whenever possible, expert fanners, to talk upon such sub jects as may ho of special interest to the farmers in whose neighborhood tho In .Hinte may ho held. To make such In stitutes profitible, it will bo necessary for farmers to attend and to join in dis cussions that may from ti.-oe to timo arise. Such nn Institute should ho an agricultural school for the ordinary farmer and should bo free from all rod tapo or formality. To farmers interested in tobacco raising, I Bhall endeavor to get a successful tobacco grower to talk on that subject. To thoso interested in dairying and chocso making, I shall try to secure for them Prof. Hart or some other expert dairyman. In short where farmers deeire an Institute I shall bo pleased to co operate with them in leak ing it moot as far ns possible their es pecial needs. As wo shall be able to hold not inoro than ono Institute in each Con gressional District, I shall bo pleased to havo letters from farmers suggesting the proper timo and placo for holding the same.

These are times of great national anxiety. Social disturbances and disclosures of political corruption have alarmed the p-ople. Worship of the "mighty" dollar, of narrow, sectional and party ties, and other evidences of a wide-spread and growing egotism which does not hesitate to sacrifice the general wel ware to the Moloch of selfish am bitions and present desires are felt to be indications of an approaching crisis. Anxious minds are watch ing with deep concern the gather ing of clouds and Hashes of light ning, and arc looking for signs of a brighter and happier future. It is natural that their hopes should cen-. tor on the education of the youth of the country. There they seek for help. What a heavy responsibility this places upon the schools ! They, above all other institutions, are considered the strongholds of the nation and of society. Humanity established them for the realization ol its innermost wishes, and fosters them as gardens in which it has planted its noblest hopes. Are the teachers aware of the trust confided to their care? Many thousands of them certainly arc. But arc they also imbued with the spirit of the ideals of mankind, and earnestly la boring to make their efforts pro ductive of the highest results. Where Does "Only" Belong? ist.

How many schools succeed in all these years in uprooting the double negative? How many schools can boast that all their graduates use the verbs lajf and lie intelligently? Geography. Probably most teachers have from time to time been called upon to la ment their inability to impress upon pupils the reality of places and peo ple met in the geography lesson^. Pupils read of and hear of far away places and things, but they have only vague ideas that such are real. The power to awaken interest and enlist the understanding of the average child is badly needed in this important branch. To make the pupil conscious that we have to deal with solid moun tains, broad stretches of territory, swelling oceans, rapid rivers, broad lakes, and large cities filled with struggling masses of men and wo men?to make these things actual to a child's mind is a consummation devoutly to be wished. Lecture your scholars?add all the charms of poetic fancy at your command; arouse in them enthusi asm like your own ; let them sec that you arc in earnest. Tell them of the magnificent splendor of Paris; of the dazzling beauties of Mexico; of the marvelous growth of our own Chicago?dwell upon all these things, and yi?u arc bound to awaken an interest that the text book will never develop. The newspapers, with their fresh, breezy columns, teeming with re cords of accidents occuring in all parts ol the world, may be made one of the teacher's most efficient aids in a geography lesson. Its supply of interesting items is abun dant and, applied judiciously by the skillful hand of the bright teacher, on memory's page, will render the picture clear and distinct, and the acquired instruction profound and abiding. It is, alas! too true that much of our oral instruction is directed to the eyes and cars more often than to the brains of our pupils. We talk too much "over their heads '. Don't put too much dependence in your text books. The geographies, almost without exception, contain an enormous amount of matter that is absolutely trash, and utterly use less to the pupils who can master it, and positively injutiouS to the many who cannot. Ever have in view the desire to teach geography to your pupils as you wish it had been taught to jou when you went to school. Teach ers make ruinous mistakes when they neglect local geography.? Never mind about the pampas of South America when you can tell them of the great prairies of our own country. It is worth infinitely more to a boy to know as much about his own country and State than it is to know of far away coun tries. Commence at home then go abroad. Make your pupils sec something in this world besides rivers, lakes, oceans and mountains. Picturesque* 11088 is valuable. Spread the world before your class as a moving pano rama, full ol color, motion, life. Don't have it all rocks and streams and hills and dales and mountains and glaciers, withering heat or blighting cold. T. E. Ewart.

To absorb all obnoxious gasos and thoroughly dislufect the promises. As an absorbent, it is unquestionable. It has a strong chemical affinity for ununonia. Where muuure yards and piles are sprinkled with it, onoo or twice a wcok, all of tho ammonia is retained. Otherwise, it is ovaporated, or leached out by tho rains. The best agricultural authorities agree that It Is worth moro than its cost as a manorial ngont. both of these considerations.

FLEMING & CO. Harris Lithia Water. The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most Noted Physicians of the Country. Read what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say foi Harris Lithia Water. "I had long been affected with kidney troubles. I had tried all the mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. I had tried the Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water when 1 heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water agair. "When I went to Harris Lithia Springs, I had to be assisted out of my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about asTgood as anybody. It acted on mo like a charm?quickly ami effectively", This water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I think every person who has tried it will ngfCC with me in the belief that it is the mosf re markable w ater in the country. From a simple interest in Suffering hu manity. 1 would like very much to see it given a trial. C A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C. Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C. AsiIBVILLli, N, C, September, '.?, iSflfl, Mr. J. T. Han is: We have been si lling the Harris Lithia Water for some time, and find it a ready seller; those who have tried it are loud in its praise. The doctors here regard it superior to cither the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. We predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become moro generally known. Yours very truly, .
