Letter From Clemson College.
Editor County Record;

EQl(Or CuuhlI heColu,
For the sake of information, |
should HE 10 Know why 1t is that
so many problems are referred by
citizens OF this state 10 the Exper-
imcnt Station of Georgia for So
luton when we have experienced
men employed at COED salaries in
nurown state for this very purpose.
This fact is NEST conspicuous
among the lawer counties, a COR
iition exactly the reverse of what
it would be it our people generally
were better informed as to the
great work that is being done
here,
Every Msndsy afternoon an
average of six horses besides other
animals OF The farm are treated
tree OF charge except Tor the small
cost of necessary drugs. | have
witnessed many operations which
would have entailed an expense
of ten or fifteen dollars had any
olher veterinary surgeon been en-
ployed. But this is oniv a small
part OF the work done by the vet
erluary division, and citizens OF the
eastern counties must not infer
therefore that this station is too
far away 10 be OF special benefit
to them; aud especially when it is
$50 miles nearer 10 them than
any other.
| merely mention this because
I feel that too few people (and es-
pecially Iarmers) are conversant
with experiment station work,
and because l should like the Usage
of Possum Fork" (or some other
who xields so ready a pen) to
give me the why sought after in
The foregoing paragraph that is
relative 10 Williamsburg's status.
Why not have the Farmers In
stitute brought to Kingstree this
summer!
After conducting a series Of
very pleasant meetings here the
Rev's Doritee and Wardlaw re-
turned March 25th to their post
at Charlotte n. G. and Church 5.
c., respectively. Mr. Wardlaw ex-
pressed surprise at meeting so
many faces with which he was
familiar, but 1 hardly think such
surprises should exist among our
visitors.

only four are from Williamsburg,
viz; G. g. Bryan and S. 0. Bryan,

ing a retrospective view OF
our municipal affairs, ,compar-
ing the condition of Edge
field in former days with the
conditions that obtain at tpres-
ent, one is forced to admit
that or town has undergone
both a reformation and trans
formation that are marvellous.
We will refrain from pa
rading our shortcomings and
errors of the dead past be-
fore the outside world. We,
however, make bold to as
sert, that there is not a
town in the state, similarly
environed, in which the mu-
nicipal affairs are more salts
factorily administered than
in Edgefeld. Such as bois-
ferrous and riotous conduct,
cursing and swearing on our
streets during the day or night
are seldom seen or heard,
The reckless discharge of fire
arms, endangering life and
property, is no longer indulg-
ed in. There is some drink
ing, of course, but that is
done ssdecently and in order" "
if we can use such a phrase
in this connection. A lady
can walk unattended any OF
our streets without fear OF
embarrassment.
To whom are we indebted
for the happy conditions that
exist ? Certainly to our pres
ent town officials who have
served US so faithfully and
efficiently for several consec-
utive terms. With such men
at the helm we need have no
misgivings as to the future OF
Edgefeld.
The municipal election is
near at hand and the ADvER-
T1sER norninates the present
intendant and council to serve
for the ensuing term.

Wages Not to BE Cut.
runors

CALUMET, MICH.-sensational rumors
that the mine arrangements Of the Lake Su-
perior copper mines have agreed to cut wages
from 5 to u per cent are officially denied. No
cut in wages will be made. though the price
Of copper is now the lowest in years. The
companies realize that the cost of living has
increased, and no action on the wage question
will be taken.
The Quincy Mining company this week de-
clared a regular semi-annual dividend of So
q share, reduction last disbursement
of dollar Few of the lake mines are earn
ing as much money now as last year. when
copper was selling at higher figure. con-
tinuance Of the present conditions will result
In further reductions in dividends.
9 Calumet capitalists have purchased
heavy interest in the Copper Queen mine in
Canada. The showing is considered excel
lent The Clergue interests are constructing
a railroad to point near the mine and a
branch will be extended.
A force of men is engaged at the Isle
Royale in exploration work on the surface
trench is being cut to open the lodes out
cropping on the Frue property. diamond
drill will be set up in a few days to ex-
plore some parts of the mine.
The Mass mine in 0ntonagon county is
making large amount Of mass and barrel
copper. This form of the metal Is over 80
per cent pure, and goes direct to the smelters
without being stamped The stamp rock con-
tains good values of silver and the company
expects to erect a smelter on the plans of
the plants in Montana to refine the mineral.
Copper country capitalists are developing
the Kittie Burton gold mine in Idaho. The
stock of the company is held only in this dis
trict. Recently about $5o,Ooo additional funds
were raised.
At No. shaft of the Tamarack mine, the
deepest in the world, twenty power drills are
in use opening up new ground preparatory

SURPLUS OF COPPER
Big DIsturbing Factor in the Trade
just Now. -


S just Now. 1t
HOUGHTON, MICH.--The general copper
situation Is again giving uneasiness to pro-
ducers and speculators in copper shares
There are two factors making for unsettled
conditions in the copper trade. The first is
the Wall street game now being played, and
the second is the floating surplus OF metal
bought for speculative purposes at the tlme
the bottom went out OF the market late last
year. This surplus OF copper in the hands
Of persons who bought it purely as a specu-
laton has much the same effect on the metal
market as rolling ballast has in the hold OF
q keayy-laden vessel. It's sudden shlftlng
causes the craft to pitch and roll in most
unpleasant manner. ...- r.. =, -. t-
The lake district will soon add four new
mills to its present list of producers, these
being the mills Of the Wolverine Trimoun-
tain. Adventure and Quincy. The first three
should go into commission next month, or
at the latest, in September. The Mohawk
mill is not so far advanced. but should begin
stamping in October, or even earlier. The
result of starting the Wolverines mill will
be to increase the mines production about
30 per cent
The Baltic is installing two new heads in
its mill. The first of these, which will be
the third stamp in the mill, will be run
ming about Aug. l, and will treat Baltic
rock, thus adding so per cent to the mines
production, while the fourth head will be
turned over to the Champion mine about the
middle Of August. This will enable the
Champion to secure large production, even
before Its own mill IS working, for the reason
that ton OF Champion rock holds more cop
per than ton of any other rock in the Lake
district, with the sole exception of the Calu-
met & Heela, which leads by a few pounds.
Judging from the active operations at the
Tamarack- Osceola Copper Manufacturing
company's plant at Dollar Bay, the demand
for copper wire and copper sheets continues
good. The plant is advantageousy situated,
having western markets nearer at hand than
any other American plant. while the raw
material, Lake Superior copper, preferred for
its toughness in wire drawing, is secured at
first hands.
The Isle Royale mine continues to make a
fine showing, and is earning profit despite
the very low percentage of copper averaged
in its odes. The good results are secured
because of the exceptionally complete and
economical plant supplemented by good man
agement.

Latest Move of Brewers to Avoid

Aatesl MOVE OF BreSVers TO -ASolN
Payment of Local Licenses.
WEST SUPERIOR, WIS.-The federal
courts will now be entered by the brewers
to effect a practical nullifcaton of the, de-
cision of the Wisconsin courts to the effect
that all cities in the state outside the one
in which the beer Is manufactured have the
authority to force the local agencies OF such
brewers to pay local licenses. Mayor O'Iiare
has issued orders to the police that agents
not having licenses must close their places
this week, but the brewers are preparing a
coup. -- '' r. x - , as1
The Duluth Brewing and Mating company
is at work upon a suit to be started in the
federal courts and an injunction restraining
the city from closing up its agency will! be
demanded. The Duluth company and other
brewers from out of the state, however, may
be placed on a different footing from that of
the Wisconsin brewers. Interstate laws may
prevent the city from closing agencies from
other states which have complied with all
license requirements. 1t is likely, however,
the proceedings to- be started by the Duluth
company will have the effect of preventing
any other steps. by either side until the
federal court hands down, its decision. p.
