Government Will Conduct Experi?
ment at Ion Work nt the Gen. Sum
ter School.
Col. Jno. J. Dargan, who was In
tho city last night 1h very much elat?
ed over the prospects of having his
rchool made an experiment school by
the national government under the
auspices of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp. "J
do not propose t> tiy to rival Clemson
college," he declared last night, "but
T will be able to give 425 acn * of
tcautifui farn lands to this service
the service of educating the farmer*
how to diversify ?
Some time ago Col. Darcan visited
Dr. Knapp In Washington un I wan
received with considerable enecurag?.
insnt He also saw other educator*
and philanthropist! in the N ith and
they coalmen led his efforts.
A special aeer.t was tent to hi*
school and tho report ma Je ?o Dr.
Knapp has caused the Gen. Sumter
Memorial school to be designated at
an experiment statten and an a begin?
ning ?0 acres of land are to be useJ
to show Improved methods o" agri?
culture.
In a latter of Feb. ?9. Dr. B. T. Gal?
loway, chief of the bureau of plant in?
dustry of the United States depart?
ment of agriculture wrote Congress?
man Lever as follows:
"Referring to the visit of Prof. J.
J. Dargan. who is In charge of tho
Sumter Memoria! school in Sumter
county. South Carolina. I may ?ay
that In accordance with your request
we have gone over the work that
Prof. Dergan is doing for the people
In hi* vicinity and are greatlx pleased
with what he has reported to have ac?
complished. *
"Answering your request, further?
more as to whether it wcnld *t prac?
ticable for us to render assistance t
Prof. Dargan, I beg tc ?ay ihut we
will be glad to do so t> the extent of
cur ability. I thought that perhaps
tho best p'an would be to have one
cf our good men visit the Inri^t uli?n
a little later and look ever th* eondt
tlons there and decide on what we
could do to help the work. Probably
we will have Dr. S. A. Knapp, who is
in general charge of our Southern
fafmsrs' cooperative work, make this
\M. I will be glad to take this mat?
ter up with Dr. Knapp and let you
know definitely when arrangements
can be mado to have him look Into
the matter."
On March S Dr. Galloway wrote Mr.
Lever:
"Rsrferring to the letter we wrote
you a short time ago In regard to the
visit of Prof. Dargan and his request
through you to have something don*
tc help the farmers and tannery chil?
dren In connection with his school at
Sumter. I may say that Dr. Knapp has
arranged with Prof. Dargan to take
the matter up with him this fall. It
Icing thought best by Prof. Dargan
not t:> attempt anything this spting
*>r. Knapp's plan Is to inaugurate
some demonstration In the immediate
vicinity of the school in order that the
same may prove useful and valuable
to the farmers and to their children."
The Inspection There,
On Maroh 2 Dr. Galloway enclosed
a letter to Mr. Liver from Dr. Knapp
in which Dr. Knapp says: "We will
five him (Prof. Dargan) a demonstra?
tion of 20 acres, furnish the seed and
the plans and supervise the work to
>how how he can help his school to
the best advantage in the matter of
agriculture and will send a man to
look over the situation, etc." March
1* the inspector Prof. J. P. Camp
hell, district agent, sent by the de?
partment, appeared and gave about
five hours to the inspection of the
housi ard grounds, an examination of
the pupils, etc. His report was favor?
able In a very high degree and upon
this Col. Dargan wrote Dr. Knapp,
usklng his presence at the Inaugura?
tion^ of the work on G?n. 8uinter's
birthday. August 14 next, and has re?
ceived ihc following reply, which
speaks for Itself:
"Permit me to acknowledge your
letter of the 24th Instant, and also
your courteous Invitation to be pres?
ent on the 14th of August next, at the
laying of the cornerstone of the build?
ing to bo devoted to n^'cul'ttfe a'nd
mechanic arts of the SumU.* Memo
rial academy.
"I am i delighted t'v ?. vou are em?
phasizing these most Important words

pend upon my presence on tV oc?
casion unless unavoidable and unfor
seen obstacles prevent.
"You are certainly undertaking a
preat enterprise and I hope while ycu
are laying the cornerstone * f th?
tuildlng vou are aho laying the cor
nerstone of a great civilization which
will come to your people through vour
efforts "
So It apptan that the Sumter Me?
moria', academy, aft.^r thorough lu?
ve? ig'-.tiotn and consideration by the
department of agriculture, through 111
distinguished agents, Is to be assisted
to "the extent of tho ability" of such
men as Dr. Knapp Prof. Galloway
and Prof. Campbell of that depart?
ment?that a 'demonstration farm" 1?
to be established on the grounds of
the school and managed by an expert
agriculturist for the Instruction of
farmers and farmers' children Is con*
nection with the other school work of
the a?aderry. < I

pectcd to be preaent, if his campaign

The following letter has just been
received from the inspector. Prof.
Campbell, and naturally gives very
great enco;-ragemert to those work?
ing for the upbuilding of the school.
"Let me say again that I was great?
ly pleased with the location of the
Sumter Memorial academy. It is an
ideal place for a country school Your
lands are well suited for demonstra?
tion work, and also for fruit growing

Talked to the Wrong Man.
One day an important looking gen?
tleman took a seat besides a quiet
man in an Arkansas railway carriage
and began a conversation.

with the governor, but he can't afford
to refuse me."
"Ts the fellow guilty?" asked the
man.

the thermometer is very loa' when I
can't put up a good talk. Where are

"Going to Little Rock."
"Da you live there?"
"Yes."
"Perhaps you mifht be of scmo

you in?"
"I am the governor."?St. Lout*
