Farmers Institute Free.

President Henry Hatzog, of Clemson
college, will give the South Carolina
farmers an opportunity to learn some
thing about scientific farming this
summer. Farmers Institutes will be
held in those counties where there is
a manifest interest. The course Of
lectures will present to those attend
ing the results Of the most recent in
vestigations in theoretical and practl-
cal agriculture, and the special needs
of the locality in which the institute
is held will be considered.
All expenses of these Institutes will
be borne by Clemson college; the
community in which the meetings are
held are asked for nothing but hall.
These Institutes will be conducted by
Clemson professors wherever fifteen
farmers unite in asking for them. At
the close Of the county institutes
state institute will be held at Glenn
son college, where farmers will be ta-
ken care Of free or for nominal cost.
The institute features of the college
are particularly valuable, and tend to
improve agricultural methods imme-
diately, instead of waiting for the sons
of farmers now at college to apply i'm
proved methods.
Speaking about Clemson college, the
building committee, of which Senator
Tillman is chairman, is contemplat-
ing building an additional dormitory
to accommodate more applicants. The
college is popular with others besides
farmers. Electrical engineering is
now a feature.

CONSTITUTION NOT IN IT.

Solicitor Richards lnterprets his
Views Of Courts Decision.
A Washington special says: Soiic-
itor General Richards, who had charge
Of the insular cases before the su-
preme court, makes the following
statement containing his interpreta-
tion of the decisions Of the court:
"The important question involved in
these cases was whether the cession
Of territory contained in the treaty OF
Paris made Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines an integral part Of the United
States within the meaning Of that
provision of the constitution requiring
all duties, imposts and excises to
be uniform throughout the United
States The court held that the ces-
sion simply made Porto Rico and
the Philippines domestic territory of
the United States subject to the con-
troll of congress, which control could
be exercised without reference to
those limitations. This limitation, the
court held, was intended to apply to
the states of the union and does not
apply to the acquired territory unless
by the treaty and by subsequent act
of congress it is incorporated within
and becomes an integral part Of the
United States.

FOURTEEN LOSE LIFE
Freshet Disasters In Tennessee
Worse Than First Reported.
ELlzABETHTON ALMOST RUINED
The Majority Of Fatalities and
Greatest Pror erty Loss
Occurred In East
Tennessee.

The Tennessee river reached the
height Of 35.S a.. Knoxville Thursday
afternoon, and then began falling. Its
tributaries in upper east Tennessee,
where the greatest loss has resulted
from the food, have rapidly receded
into their banks, revealing wreckage
of houses and bridges and ruined
crops.
The loss of life thus far reported ag-
gregates fourteen, though it is not
improbable that there are others.
Three bridges are reported swept
away in addition to the twelve report
ed Wednesday. There were two road
steel yiaducts in Washington county,
over the Nolachucky river; Sullivan
county steel bridge at DEFAULTS ford;
Ohio river and Charleston railroad
bridge near Devault's ford.
The loss at Elizabethton due to the
food is conservatively estimated at
about $25O,O00. The damage to the
town of Watauga is estimated at
S150,0O0.
The Holston river, near Hogersville,
was higher than it has been since
1857. The water touched the tracks
on the Southern railways steel bridge
near there.
At Knoxville the food did a great
amount of damage. The Omega, steam
er, largest vessel plying the Tennes-
see above Chattanooga, was wrecked
Thursday afternoon, being total loss.
Traffic via Bristol on the Southern
railway, Norfolk and Western route.
will be delayed until the bridges that
were carried away are replaced.
The Southern hopes to handle trains
by Asheville and Spartanburg, to and
from the east, while the road through
Asheville, via Salisbury, will not be
in use for several days.
The damage in North Carolina from
floods is far worse than at first report
ed, especially to the crops and the
fields. Many fertile bottom lands
were entirely denuded Of soil and are
totally worthless.
Al. Southern railway trains between
Charlotte and Atlanta were Temporal
rily operated by way Of Columbia and
Spartanburg on account Of a washout
Of about 300 feet Of trestle at the
approach to the Catawba river bridge
ten miles below Charlotte.
The heaviest damage to the South
ern railway is on the Western North
Carolina division. In many places
along the line great gaps are found
on the track.
Asheyille is without water. The
food 80 badly damaged the water
works plant that it may be several
days before it can supply the city
again.

GOODBYE TO FRISCO
The President and Mrs. Mckinley
Start on Homeward Journey.
INVALID WEAK BUT HOPEFUL
Prospect Of Soon Being at Home
Again Greatly EIates the Pa
tient and Gentle
Sufferer.

President Mckinley and party, after
a sojourn Of nearly two weeks in San
Francisco, left the California city tor
Washington Saturday.
Mrs. Mckinley enjoyed a refreshing
nights rest and seemed elated at the
prospect of soon being at home. She
was conveyed from the Scott residence
to the Oakland ferry in a closed car
riage by a circuitous route chosen so
the invalid might pass over only
smoothly paved streets. She was ac-s
companied by the president Dr.. Rsxey
and a trained nurse.
An immense crowd had assembled
at the ferry depot Of the Southern
Pacific railway. The large open space
at Market and East streets was SOL
id mass Of humanity through which
the police kept open passageway for
the president and mis- party.
Heads were uncovered as the car
riage bearing Mrs. Mckinley approach;
ed, and there was visible effort To-
restrain any burst of applause as the
carriage with drawn curtains passed
slowly through the throng. All re-.
spected the frail condition Of the snf-
ferer and enthusiasm was suppressed.
There were no formal ceremonies at
the depot. Goodbys were exchanges
by the president, cabinet members and
others of the party with friends who
had come to wish them godspeed and
the travellers boarded the ferry boat
Oakland. -
Kinley was driven on to the lower
deck of the boat and the curtains were
partly raised so she might obtain 2
glimpse Of the bay and the Golden
Gate.
As the steamer drew out Of the slip,
hats and handkerchiefs were waved.
and as it swung into the stream tnes
shipping in the harbor dipped theif
cclors in salute. Tumultuous cheers
then broke forth on shore and were
borne out across the waters-San
Francisco's farewell.
At the Oakland mole, where the
train was in readiness, the fnclosure
was roped off. Mrs. Mckinley was
tenderly helped out Of the carriage by
the president. When she had been
made comfortable in her car he ap-.
peared upon the platform and waved
adieu to the throngs beyond the ropes.
The presidential train traversed the
state Of Nevada Sunday and reached
Ogden, Utah, at $50 o'clock Sunday
night. The route lay along the Hum
boldt river through the Ruby and
Wasatch mountains and then descend
ed into the Salt Lake basin. During
most Of the day the elevation exceed.
ed 1000 feet and snow-clad peaks were:
continually in sight from the ear vim
dows.
The president makes It q rule ordi.
narily not to travel on Sunday, but the
present circumstances were so excep-
tional that he hid his compuncuons II
order that his wife might the sooner
reach home.

LEPER HOME DEMOLISHED.
Louisiana People ForcibIy Object to
Establishment of Lazaretto.

Louisiana People Forclbiy ObJect 10
Establishment of Lazaretto.
The Louisiana state leper board re-
Gently quietly purchased large plan
tation in Jefferson parish, opposite
New Orleans, and made arrangements
to establish there leper lazaretto.
When the news became public JEFF
fries and st. Charles parish were
aroused to indignant protest and
threats were freely made that the
torch and the rife would be employed
to prevent the transfer OF the leper
colony to the point selected.
At meeting Wednesday the board
heard vigorous protests Of the eiti-
zens of the two parishes, but decided
to take no action at present. The pro-
testants concluded that the board was
determined to at least attempt to es-
tablish the lazaretto in Jefferson.
The result was that during Wednes-
day night the proposed home and
other buildings on the plantation Sc
lected were fired and totally destroy
ed. The facts will be at once reported
to Governor Heard.

STREET CARS in AWFUL CRASH
Five People Instantly Killed and Many
Hurt In Trolley Accident
at Albany, N. Y.

A special from Albany, N. Y, says:
Electric cars racing for switch, while
running in opposite directions at the
rate or forty miles an hour, cost five
lives Sunday afternoon by terrific
collision in which over forty promi-
nent people were injured, some fatal
ly and others seriously.
The lobby Of the local post office
filed with dead and wounded, hyster-
ical women and children looking for
relatives and friends, surgeons admin
isterifg temporary relief and ambu-
lances racing through the city taking
the wounded to hospitals, were the
early intimations Of the accident.
The scene Of the accident was a
point about two miles out Of Green
bush, on the line Of the Albany and
hudson railway. The point where the
cars met on the single track was at a
sharp cure, and so fast were both run
ming and so sudden the collision, that
the motorman never had time to put
on the brakes before the sc:,thbound
car had gone almost clean through the
other car and hung on the edge Of a
high bluff. One motorman was pin
ioned up against the smashed front OF
the southbound car with both legs sev.
cred and instantly killed, while the
other one lived but a few minutes.
Fully 120 men, women and children
formed struggling, shrieking pyra-
mid, mixed with blood, detached por-
tions of human bodies and the wreck
age Of the cars. Some Of the more
slightly injured of the men-extricated
themselves and began to pull people
out of the rear ends of the two cars,
and almost every one was taken out
in this way, and nearly all were badly
injured.

GUARDING the Beer.

In accordance with recent order
issued by Governor McSweeney, dis
pensary constables in Charleston have
refrained from emptying beer seized
from blind tigers into the sewers. For
a long time the seized beer was de-
stroyed because there was no provis-
ion in the law for it's retention. There
is a provision by which liquor cap
tured is sent to Columbia, but the
plan all along was to pour out the
beer. A great deal of money has been
saved by this rule, and now that there
is beer famine in Charleston the con-
stables are more eager than ever to
guard it.
