There is continual advance in the
nature OF methods which might be
made available for general use. but the
actual appropriation of these methods
to their own personal use by farmers
In general is a matter Of slow growth.
1t is well to be conservative, but wrong
to be old fogyish.
Two things necessary to the best
development of the hog are plenty OF
exercise s;s and plenty of green feed.
These are as important to their health
as to their growth. Dry feed and close
confinement will take all the vigor out
of a hog, and, even if he becomes fat. IL
is an unhealthy Development.
One secret of successful farming
lies In the ready anticipation of what
each seasons work is to demand of the
farmer, ana IL IS In the doing of manv
things out Of season, as some short
sighted people would look at it. Try
to transfer a part of the spring work
to the fall and winter months.

the Augusta Chronicle his opinion Of
the Democr nominee. Col. Tillman
is not e man to 60 wild over false
lights, bat i, a good judge Of human
nature, besides being statesman him

with nearly all the great men Of this
country. aud with many from foreign
countries aud while eIviDg two years

he was great. As an orator | have
never heard but three men who could

Ben Hill, Blaine and Blackburn. He
either knows everything or has sacb a
fscility of reference to books that he
can quickly get any information be
wants. His memory is simply marvel
Gus, and he has snch an intimate
knowledge Of men that be can reed
their characters at glance. He is
always at work seeking knowledge, b7
reading, conversation or reflection. and
seems to look upon idepess as crime.
If he has even any small vice-cheW-
ing. smoking, drinking, gaming, cars-
ing. ETC., never discovered it during
two years personal and official inter
course with h;m In fact, the man
always appeared to be oooscieOti"us'y

others. Yet he is most devoted

husband towards his wife In few

baaocea that he could nos Intentionally

his intellect is 80 clear and stsons shat

.Nr Editor: The experience of man
has taught him that he must be edu-
Gated in order that he may 'see
clearly, judge fairly, a"d will strong
ly.' The State, appreciating this he
cessity, has provided system Of
common schools for each county, and
the duties of all the officers Of these
schools are prescribed by the legis
lature
The principal authority is invested
in County Board Of Education, two
members of which are appointed by
the State Board of Education and one
member, the County Superintendent,
elected by the people These three
exercise prescribed authority over
the common schools, they examine all
teachers, they appoint three trustees
for each school district, they levy a
three mill tax on all the property Of
the County for school purposes,
they appor,ion the money III propor
ton to the number Of enrolled schol
ars in each school district, they de
eide al. questions as to the school law,
subject to an appeal to the State
Board of Education, and they are au-
thorized and empowered to divide
the whole of Sumter County into con
venient school districts OF not less
than nine and not more than forty nine
miles in area.
The trustees of each school district
are required by law to employ teach,
ers who have certificates, to build and
repair school houses, to purchase
proper school furniture, sign warrants
for all claims against and to have con-
troll of all the property Of their re-
spective districts The County Su-
perintendent of Education is bonded
officer and his prescribed duties are
to visit every school i'll Sumter Goun-
ty at least once during each school
term. to note the method and course
Of instruction, the branches taught,
the condition of school houses and

e:s as to the best methods of instruc-
tion, and with trustees as to their du-
ties, and to encourage combinations

lie is also chairman and clerk Of the
County Board of Education and signs
and affixes his seal to all school
claims.
1t is hardly necessary to tell you
that many of our country schools have
been aboring under difficulties, the
! principal one OF which has been the
lack Of funds Under the new law we
levy a three instead of two mill tax
and The taxpayers have it within their
power to increase that levy by voting
a special tax Of not more than four
mills
What you now need, if you wish
10 improve your schools is AN active,

ent of Education, who will work
