= Secretary Wilson, Of the Agric,ll-
tural Department, ii is announced, has
written tr Clemson College. concerning
the experiments made by the depart
meit in the hybridizatiOn OF oranges.
fntn -
some sixty different species have been
buddcd, and two of each kind will be
sent to Clemson College for testing
purposes. 1t is the belief Of Secretary
Wilson, and the department officials,
who have given much attention to
these interesting experiments, that the
experiments to be made will be of great
benefit to South Carolina.
- The jury commissioners of Green
vile have got the ministers and editors
of that city in rather close quarters.
Considerable has been said of late
about the failure of juricS to find true
verdicts and the fault has been charg-
ed partly to the fact that the best men
are not drawn for jury service, and
when good men are drawn they fail to
serve, getting excused on one plea or
another. In the list just drawn for the
second week OF the approaching court
of sessions for Grcenville appear the
| names of three wcllknOwn ministers
of the gospcl-Drs. $. X. Preston, w.
j. LangstOn and $. w. Key. The
matter has created surprise and COM
mcnt. The jury commissioners say
they wish to get the best men in the
country, and they also desire ministers
| and editors to put their theories int4
practice. While they know they are
exempt, they hope they will not claim
exemption, for tho supreme court has
decided that being exempt from ser
vice does not disqualify, for it is mat
ter of personal privilege.
