AT FORT HILL.
rPeonle,s Advocated


A trip to Fort Hill, few days ago,
showed than an immense amount of sub
stantial work has been done in the last
few months.
The finishing touches are being given
the college building, and it is said to be
the finest college building in the South.
The inside is finished in pine and oiled,
and all the rooms are well ventilated,
have high ceilings and plenty of light.
The dormitory is completed and ready
to be furnished. This is an immense
building heated by steam and lighted by
electricity, and can accommodate Geo to
800 boys.
All of the work is being pushed for
ward. and, by the time the college opens,
everything necessary will be in readiness.
The farm looks just like well-regu-
lated farm should look; and if the farm.
ers who receive the bulletins of the ex-
pertinent station, giving the results OF
the different experiments with farm pro-
ducts. will carefully study them they will
gain much practical and profitable infor.
nation. Col. Newman, who is in charge
of the experiment station, also professor
of agriculture. is very practical and COM
bines scientific knowledge with common
sense. All the best cultivated land will
not .'be on the road" as is usually the
case. bat all of it will be on the road, as
numerous drives are being opened up SO
that any one may drive all over the place
South Carolina will soon have first
class agricultural college in operation
and if the farmers do not profit by it they
will have no one to blame.

what it costs, in nerve power, to stand in

Our civilization cannot stand these

capital or the progress of our own people.
It is my determined purpose, therefore,
to pursue my policy as to lynching in
every case that comes to my notice. ]
