the country, they say We can't make a

their living at homc-such as wheat, meat,
mOlasses, potatoes, corn, etc.

ClemsOn's Exhibit.

The State Fair of 1897 is rapidly ap-
preaching and on all sides preparations
are being made far in advance of the usual
period. In Just about six weeks the Fair
will be at hand. Every indication points
to the most successful Fair ever held in
the State. To-day at moor the Citizens
Fair Associations executive committee
will hold a special meeting to get the ball
in motion for the outside attractions. a
mass meeting Of the citizens will be call
ed by the committee, probably for some
night this week, after which the execu-
tive committee will get to work securing
subscriptions.
Secretary Holloway furnishes the fol-
lowing information:
Clemson College will have a working
dairy on the Fair grounds during the Fair
managed by Prof. J. W. Hart. An Ok
hibition in the arena in milking by the
students of the college would draw we'll,
showing the young misses that when one
of these boys is secured as a partner for
life a mixer also would be obtained.
The agricultural exhibit will be under
the supervision of Prof J. S. Newman,
and the mechanical will be controlled by
Prof. Worthington.
From the interest manifested by the
college professors, and members of the
Board as we'll, it can be confidently ex-
pected that the exhibits will exceed by
far any hitherto seen on the grounds.
Secretary Holloway also writes that
Mr.. Geo. F. Weston, manager of the Van
derbilt farms at Biltmore, N. c., expects
to bring down a fine lot of Jersey cattle
for exhibition only, and subsequently Of
fer them in the annual sale of stock. This,
Col. Holloway says, will afford a fine op.
portunity to purchase Jerseys of fancy
strains. Mr.. Weston will also bring a
few choicely bred Berkshire boars.-1He

c@,onrtdb to execute a prisoner guilty Of a
c~apitae offense within about fifty days
ofter his capture. This is a big improve
uoel7t over the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
plans but does not go far enough. Why
shoald not a man be legally executed
within q month or even less time after
the commission Of his crime, if found
guilty? We believe that a solution ofthe
lynching problem may here be found.
Let provision be mads for the immediate
trial and execution, if guilty, of criminals
charged with rape, assassination, arson
or any of the crimes that usually provoke
a resort to lynch law. When snch d
criminal is taken the Judge in the district
should have power to order 4 hearing
without delay. If the prisoner conie>ses
nothing remains to be done but to SEN
tence and execute him, and there Is no
reason why this should not be accom-
plished within q few hours. If regular
trial is necessary it may be proceeded
with instantly and carried to a finish in
one or two days, in most cases. An ex-
tended latitude may be allowed jncom-
plicated cases where serious doubts CT
guilt may be entertained. If the Judge
or Solicitor should be absent from tho
District at such time, the should
be empowered to order a trial and APP
point competent men to represent the
absent officials and thus save delaELtE
is but a crudo outline Of what may con-
tain the germ of a proper solution ofthis
vexeG question.
