To the Democrats of Laurens.

I extend my thanks for the gem
erous support given me in the re-
cent primary. l most heartily &C
quiesce in the result, and assure
you that your ticket is now my
ticket.
I congratulate the voters of Lau-
rens County and the entire State
that they have proven themselves
independent Of factionalism and
bossism, and given us a set OF Off
GERS, State and County, that will do
credit to themselves and their con-
stituents.
I wish to say that the attempts
made to cause the people of l.au-
rcns County to believe that in my
candidacy l was in coalition with
any other party were utterly with
out foundation. | made tho race
strictly upon my own accord, the
statement Of any peanut politician
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Respectfully,
G.. l.. JOHNSON.

Mice and Rats In JaDan.

There arc small "deer" on tho island
that arouse no poetry or gracious sonti-
ments. Tho mice, those pests of Japa-
neso teahouscs, raced through the doll
houses at will by dark, the ornamental
tracerics and designs pierced i'll tho
pretty wood panels above the screens
giving them free range of every room.
They ran over my fac, scratched my
pillow, nibbled my fingers and kept mo
awake night after night with their rus
thing and gnawing. On tho third night
of mouse carnival 1 called tho servants
and had lights brought. Phe landlord
heard tho sounds and hustled across tho
court to SEQ what tho matter was. 81

EpIroR


This communication has been
ready for the public prints for
some time, but i have withheld it
until the interest and excitement
that usually attends an election
had subsidized. There + certain
conditions that c%onfronts the peo-
pie of South Carolina as agricul-
turists, and I have for sometime
past advocated organization as the
best and speediest way to meet
these conditions. Let us examine
the conditions, and see if the neces-
sity exist for such action on the
part-of the people. The first of
these is the land-the proper care
and preservation of the cultivated
lands of this State, and especially
the Piedmont section where the
land is subjected to such heavy
drainage. l have travelled over six
or seven counties in the Piedmont
section within the last year or two,
and from q careful survey~I find
| that there is very little of the
timbered land that can be cleared,
and q great deal of the cleared
land has been turned out as worth
less, and beyond redemption. So
there is nothing left for us to do
but to take proper care of that
which is in cultivation. No sane
man will deny, but that the top
soil of all land is the producing
soil, and | find that the surface of
the earlier cleared lands has been
reduced below the original, so it
follows, that to raise land to Il
high state of cultivation where sub
jected to drainage, it must be held
together. In the counties above
mentioned, Laurens has made as
much progress along this line as
any of the others, but it is confined
to individuals and very small sec
tions. In an organization of this
kind, care must be taken to give it
proper shape and direction. To
this end, / have advised that or
CARNATIONS be established in suita-
BILE localities or in each school dis
trict and bring the agricultural
masses together and thoroughly
discuss the condition and then ad,
vocate a rigid application of the
remedy. We have the terrace, the
ditch and the lenace-ditch. The
use of each can best be determined
by the inclination of the land
There are other questions that car
be p~rofitably discussed but they
have their places in the future.
Believing that the secret of success
on the farm lies in the productive
ness of the soil, cannot but look OF
this land question as overshadow'
ing them all. AS 1 have not beer
accustomed to writing for the pub
lie prints, l desist for the present

Tho Farmers Institute.

The Farmers Institute hitherto adj
vertised was held inthis city by Presi-
dent Craighead and Professors OF
Clemson College on Friday last
Hon. A. @. Fuller presided and Mr.. o.
+. Goodwin acted as Secretary. While
the Institute was not large, not SO large
as 1t should have been, there were pro-
badly seventy FIVE representative farm
ers present and q number of the citi-
zens OF she city attended, largely to
their profit and interest. President
Craighead lead in the interesting
work of the day, explaining the intent
and scope of the work. He explained
that the great universities of Europe
were interested in spreading the cause
OF education, that knowledge was
being brought closely home to the
people, and art and science was being
largely made familiar for practical
life. He then discussed the Clemson
College and the work it was doing and
what was expected Of 1t as affecting
particularly the agricultural and in
dustrial classes in this State. The
States appropriations with the Fed
eral appropriations might sound ex-
travagant to us, but compared to the
resources OF Northern schools and col
leges and those Of such States as
Missouri and Michigan in the West,
were but meager and inadequate, To
make the College Of advantage to
those of moderate means, other than
the very rich, the of the
College must be ample and generous.
Professor Wyman, then delivered an
interesting lecture upon the horse,
which all enjoyed, as every man
pricked up his ears at the mention of
this noble friend Of man. Professor
Hardin had for his theme the live sub
ject OF water, drinking water, wells,
springs, artesian wells, rivers and
lakes, and greatly interested the In
stitute. He was followed by Professor
McGee whose theme was the grasses
and hay lands, more especially the
grasses adapted to our soil and climate.
The programme was exhausted with
q very interesting lecture by Profess
sor Hart upon the Dairy, but specif-
cally upon silage as practiced at Glenn
son in the dairy department and else
where where the silo had gained a
footing. The day was much enjoyed
and at the conclusion Of the exercises
the following resolution was intro
duced by Mr.. O. p. Goodwin: ere
solved that the thanks of the Farmers
Institute this day held in this city are
hereby rendered to Professors Craig
head, Wyman, McGee, Hart, and Har-
din for their able and instructive ad-
dresses and that we will gladly well
come them again at an early day upon
q similar mission" The resolution
was seconded by Messrs. B. w. Ball,
Col. j.. D. Nj. Shaw and DR.. A. @. Full
Ter. President Craighead responded
in suitable terms expressing his pleas
ure at the opportunity of coming to
Laurens and thus a pleasant and in
structive day was closed for the farm
ers Of Laurens.
