The Farmers institute.

Last week We stated that If
enough OF those interested would
signify their willingness to attend
the lectures of the Farmers In
stitute of Clemson College would
come here this summer. The
offer is still open and if our farm
ers really want the institute we
should be glad to hear from them.
1t is necessary to act at once as the
schedule for the summer is now
being arranged and there is no
time 10 lose. We therefore sug-
gest, or rather request, that every
farmer who desires to attend,
drop us d postal card stating that
he wants the institute TO come.
The benefits to be derived from
the institute are manifold. Every
subject pertaining TO farming and
its kindred branches will be dis
cussed in an intelligent way by
men who have devoted their lives
10 the scientific study of agricul-
ture. The institute can do no
harm and if properly attended.
great benefit may result. 1t
does not cost cent to have 1t
come, as all the expenses are paid
by the college. Can you afford
to neglect this opportunityy We
sincerely hope that those most
interested--the farmerS-will en-
dorse the institute by promising
to attend, and thai not only this
year but for every year hereafter
Williamsburg will be a farmers

Every resolution upon which a
favorable report was made WAS
adopted by the convention, many
of them without comment. Mr.

passed almost unanimously with
out even provoking discussion:
RESOLVED, by the Democratic
convention of South Carolina,
That the course of }. L. McIauriN
as Senator from this State il the

condemned.
Most ofthe debate in the con-
venlion centred upon resolutions
touching the lockout OF the
Horse Creek mill operatives il
Aiken county. On this qacstion
there were submitted both ma

After a spirited debate the major
lty report was adopted and tie
resolutions passed. Following Is

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 22-At II
o'clock yesterday the State Dem
ocratic Convention met III the hall
of the House of Representatives.
Tie convention was well attended,
every county being represented,
and there was very little in the
wav of acrimonious debate, wire
pulling and absolutely no sign Of
factional bitterness. The delega-
tionS We're pretty nearly evenly
divided between Conservatives
and Retormers who sat side BY
side with every appearance OF
peace and harmony. Strong men
of both factions were present and
the personnel of the body seemed
to be above the average. BY the
time a recess was taken for dinner
about 2 p. m-tne convention
had effected permanent orSanl-
zation and was ready tor business
at the evening session, which Was
appointed for $50 o clock.
Col. Willie Jones was elected
chairman of the convention and

and Editor }. 7. Parks. o. the
Orangeburg Patriot, the two sec
retaries. There were also elected
seven vice presidents, one from
each congressional district. Sena-
tor A. 81. Williams was unani-
mously elected vice president from
the 9th district.
After some discussion a COM
mittee on platform and resolutions
and another on constitution and
rules were elected. These COM
mittees were composed Of one
member from each delegation.
Senator Tillman was appointed 10

THE sage OF POSSUN FORK
PAUSES TO PONDER ON POST
AGE STAMP PROBLEM
And incidentally to Illuminate on Corn
and Cotton. Read and
Reflect.

"Good morning, Jim! Come
in. Let me tell you about the
big corn | want to make the same
way I did last year by putting
the manure in the ear instead Of
the stalk. You see I am just in
from covering sprouted cotton
now.
1t is Saturday and I am fgur-
ing little for the boys. Several
have told me | must figure again
on those postage stamps. That it
don't look right to say the oceans
can't contain ships enough to
carry the 1000, 100000, .OO0,-
100000, 900, 100000, 100000, ooo,-
O0O,O00,006 of postage stamps.
that was calculated rs necessary
Tor the 3 fold geometric series to
the 100th term some weeks ago.
SO let us compare it in two more
ways to see if it will help it any.
You know postage stamp is
just about one inch long, and il
that many stamps were placed end
to end it would make a long line.
Suppose, then, a telegraph wire
to be stretched that many inches
with an operator at each end.
How long would it take for mes
sage to come down the line? Well
the speed OF electricity is put
down at a little less than 100000
miles a second, so if the man in
moon had a wire from here 1t
would take little over one second
to get a signal through the 243, 900
miles that separate us; and rom
the sun, which is 400 times farth-
er, it would take about s minutes
for message to reach us.
But! Butt! A thousand years
would not be long enough to get
telegram through line as long
as that number Of stamps would
make it. No! If a message had
been started in Father Adams
time and been coming 100000
miles a second ever since, you
might say it has hardly started
yet, for million of million of
years is not long enough for tel
egram to travel so far.
But, see here, jim, who would
lick all these stamps to stick them
on the letters2 Or how much
water would 1t take 10 make them
stick? Let's see, it takes about
10000 drops to weigh pound,
and 624 pounds is cubic foot OF
water, so continue the calculation
and you will find that if the ocean
covered all the earth and was five
miles deep ON an average there
would be about 100000. 000,0 0,00O.-
100000, 600, ,000,0 drops OF wat
er in the world. So we can safely
say that Is an over estimate. But,
let it be so. Tell me how far
that little bit OF water would go
to moisten all.those stamps. Why
it would not dampen one in a
million. :"
No, a Thousand millions OF
worlds like ours would not have
water enough to stick all those
stamps. W
Calculate for yourself-it IS
simple and plain. So now the
