is shameful but none the less true, that the

only be accounted for on the theory that
they are willing to "come down handsome

how came it that they were able to rush

thrust aside IN this way, simply that the

that the country should know it. If our

and quafed cupful of the clear water. But
as he was raising second cup to his thirsty
lips, he was rudely thrust aside, and his COM

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates throngh every part
of the body, and unless it is pure

If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well

iron will restore the blood to its

TO make it success and you know what he
undertakes he is not likely to give up until
he aeeomplishes it. So let every one do all
he can; if he can do no more take st least
one share. If one hundred men will take one
share each, it will help that much. Let's not
let the thing drag now. Wont it be great
thing for Newberry? It will help every one
in Town and County. We win get at least t OF
a cent more for our cotton and it will give US
market for milk, butter, eggs, poultry, wood
and in fact everything, for these Factory
people, as q general thing, spend all they
make and spend it at home, and add to our
population moro than we already have.
Newberry will be second to no town in all the
up-country. Increase our population and
that win add to our treasury and our city
fathers will be glad. So let every one go to
work and do all he can and keep doing un-
til the whistle blows.

Agricultural A Aids.


been made by Agricultural and
Mechanical Associations at the
South, would prove interesting to
one who has a stomach for that
kind of business; and it might be
useful to those who are engaged in
similar efforts. The agricultural
and mechanical industries of the
country are the basis on which it's
prosperity must be built. and the
government has made liberal ap-
preparations to aid in the encour-
agement of these industries; yet,
as a rule, agricultural and me-
chanical institutions have been re-
markably shortlived.
In 1852, by what is known as
the agricultural College Act,"
Congress made grant Of millions
Of acres of public lands to aid in
promoting agriculture and the me-
chanic arts in the States. There
are now in the country, forty-two
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
leges erected under this Act; but
they are agricultural and Mechan-
icap only in name. With perhaps
four or five exceptions, they have
become literary and scientific in
stitutions. The Chairman of the
faculty of our University stated in
his last report, that out of the one
hundred and ffty-three boys at
tending that institution, only fifty
were studying agriculture. Our
farmers are inclined to think that
farming can best be learned on the
farm; they have little confidence in
scientific teachers of scientific farm
ing, and We are not prepared to say
that they are wrong.
Some years ago, the grange was
established. It was peculiarly a
farmers organization. It not only
proposed to reform all agricultural
abuses, but it entered the domain. Of
politics and assumed the manage
ment of affairs generally. For a
time the farmers were ablaze with
enthusiasm. They held grange
meetings, made grange speeches,
ate grange dinners, and undoubted-
ly did much good; but where now
is the grange !?
. Wherever we follow the subject
we find the same results. Practi-
eally, agricultural fairs might as
well be called agricultural failures.
Especially is this true of county
fairs. The State Agricultural and
Mechanical Society is under the
management of energetic business
men; it has the advantage of be-
ing at the Capital; it has horse-rae-
ing, bicycle riding, side shows, fire.
works, and a hundred and one other
things calculated to attract money
and all classes of men; and yet the
General Assembly, at its last ses-
sion, appropriated $2500 to aid this
society. Then, what hope is there
for County fairs which must be
conducted on strictly moral 5asis2
