Clemson College, Aug. Is. =
The experience meeting was held
this morning instead of tonight.
The great ma jority of farmers
have gone, but the most faithful
are still here.
There was general discussion
Of preparation of soil and cultiva-
tion of cotton and other crops.
Col. Newman holds that the
sweet potato Is the best root crop.
The small varieties are best for
hogs, where the hogs are turned
on the land. They will root up
the large ones and leave part of
them to freeze.
Every man present was inter
ested and the meeting was exceed y
ingly profitable.
GARDENING.
Prof. q. G. Newman was the
first speaker at the regular morn
ing session. He discussed early
vegetables, explaining hot beds
and care of early vegetables.
When cab bages are frozen they
will not he injured if the sun is
kept from them and they are
sprayed with water. Many 9th
Ell plants may be saved 10 the
same way. Tomato plants may
be put out as soon as the
seed may be planted, but
better not To put them out
till the weather is warm.
Very long plants ehould be plant
ed or 10 inches in the ground.
The salsi fol is the most delicious
vegetable grown. Plant closely.
The Mammoth Sandwich Islam 4 is
the best variety.
IRISH POTATO.
Drought usually cuts off the
crop. Experiments show that
planting TX inches deep produces
twice as much as three inches,
nine inches deep twice as much as
Six inches, and - inches the
same as six inches. To nine
inches is the best depth. Cover
them three inches at the planting,
and cover gradually till the
depth of nine inches is reach
ed. Never use stable manure for
Irish potatoes Where potatoes
are mulched the yield Is increased
third.
Plant for the second crop soon
after the digging of the first.
Better to sprout the potatoes be-
fore planting for the second crop
and plant the whole potato. Cut
the potato for first crop. The no.
tato can be sprouted by putting
them on solid surface, covering
them with mulch aud keeping
them moist.
TO TREAT FOR sCABs.
Use two dozen corrosive subli-
mate to Is gallons water, or four
to five dozen of formaldehyde to

fore cutting the potato. Phe

Mayor Low announces that he
will enforce the Sunday law in New
York on the question of liquor sell
ing pretty much as the Tammany
administration did. OF course
these are not his words but the
practical meaning is the same. It
is impossible to enfore the Sunday
laws in New York against back-door
contrivances. Tammany yielded to
the situation, precisely as Mayor
Low has done and as President
Roosevelt did when he was police
commissioner and started out to en-
force the laws and found it exceeded
his capacity. If Mayor Low had
not pledged himself to liberal
policy he would have been deteated
for mayor. That liberal policy
simply means the non enforcement

The United States has made an
other deal in tropical island real
estate by agreeing to a treaty with
Denmark for the cession of ST.
Thomas and the few scraps of land
attached, lying south Of Porto Rico.
The treaty will go to the Senate to-
day and if ratified, all that will re-
main to complete the transaction
will be a plebiscite of the islanders
approving annexation to the United
States. The price to be paid Den
mark by the United States is
81, ooo,o 900. Their chief CONNER
cial advantage to this country will
be tha: St Thomas has a splendid
harbor, and that the group OF
islands will be contiguous to the
Atlantic side of the isthmian canal,
at least for naval strategic purposes.
ST. Thomas is great cOaling
harbor for the West Indies, and
more than 100000 tones OF coal
that goes there from the United
States are handled annually. We
suppose the next thing in order in
West India annexation will be San
Domingo, Hayti and Jamaica. In
1869 Secretary Seward negotiated
treaty for the purchase of San
Domingo, but the Senate rejected
it.-Da,ly States.

Anosl,er Rish Nan In the ooooeu.
New Orleans States
Mr.. John F. Dryden. the nev
United States Senator from New
| Jersey, was unheavd of In public
lite before his election, and IL seems
that the only thing that recommends
him for the Office which he is to ill
is his money. He has been . sue
cessful business man and accumu-
lated q large fortu ne, but 80 far 40
his political activity IS concerned
the most that can be said Of him
even by his most enthusiastic friends
is that he has sheen generous con-
tributor to the party organization.
Therefore, we have another rich
man elected to the United States
Senate for no other reason than that
he happens to be rich. So far as
we know nothing has been or can
be said in disparagement of Mr..
Dryden's character or integrity as q
man, and it is to be hoped that his
energy and business capacity may
prove of service to the public, but
it seems that his election is re-
garded by the people of his State
and the country at large as simply
one more step in commercializing
the Senate, which is often spoken of
as ''the rich mems club" 1t is a
fact, however, that
the brainy members of that body
who take the lead in all matters re-
curing craftsmanship are either
poor men or men of moderate
means. The millionaire senators
with one or two exceptions are mere
drones and ornaments.
1t is quite probable that the new
senator from New Jersey will take
his place in this class, because th-re
is no evidence that he has opinions
Or ability to state and defend them,
or has the ability to draft a bill or
serve intelligently on a committee.
One of the competitors for the sem
ltorial Office was Ex-Governor and
General Griggs, who IS
skilled lawyer and able speaker,
Who has had wide experience in
public affairs as we'll as in serving
he trusts and who would have
ldded to the Senate what it most
He was passed
'ver, however, for man whose
,nly title to the honor is his wealth.
Senator Dryden may not contribute
" his membership to the force and
|,gnity of the Senate, but he can be
depended upon to support and work
or the passage of bills giving spe-
ial privileges to corporations In
7hich he may be interested.

percentage Of growth in the Protest

DR. Carroll regards as large. 1t
is next to the Roman Catholic,
largest growth of the years and was
greastest in the eastern cities. The
accessions to the Protestant Epis-
copal church were from Me:hodists,
Baptists, Congrega-
tionalists and other denominations,
rather than from the non-church
public.
The Deciples Of Christ, whose
is almost wholly in the
Middle West, has almost doubled
its followers since 1890. OF Chris

which the Methodists led, were un

ief that there are 800, 900 Nor

tated that $4,000 converts were
made last year by 1900 missionaries

A fact brought out by DR.. Car
oil IS the tenacity of religious
'odies, no matter what the discour-
cement. There are twelve kinds

welfth kind had only one minister

Another Illinois Centenarian.

Not to be outdone by her neigh
boring city of Monmouth. to whose
centenarian extended reference has
already been made by The Argus,
Quincy boasts of Leonard ROeder
who yesterday attained his one hum
dred and second birthday. He is one
of the very few persons left in the
world who witnessed the memorable
conflict on the plain of Waterloo
which changed the map of Europe
and humbled the pride of the Little
Corsican." sending him a prisoner
To the island of St. Helena. That
will be eighty-seven. years old on the
18th of next June. but the events
are still fresh in the mind of this
centenarian. His only regret and
the overshadowing misfortune of his
life is the fact that he did not have
an opportunity To engage actively in
the battle. But that ne was there
and was a member of Gen. Bluch-
er's army is unquestioned, as he still
has his discharge papers.
Aside from the natural infrmities
which extreme age is responsible for,
Mr.. ROeder is still in good health.
Some years ago ne lost sight of one
of his eyes. and the other has been
dimmed somewhat as consequence
of the strain on it. His hearing is
not very good, although no worse
than that of many only half his age.
1t is now fifty-eight years since
he came to this country from Ger
many to live. He soon acquired the
English language, which he spoke
with some fuency up to a couple of
years ago. when, through some
trick of nature he suddenly seemed
to forget all the English he ever
knew, and found he could converse
only in German. His hair is white
as the driven snow. but otherwise he
exhibits no special mark of his many
years. His shoulders are slightly
stopped, but he walks with a firm
step, and his skin is comparatively
smooth and has a healthy glow.

Democrats oppose subsidy.

When the Hanna-Frye ship subsidy

against reporting il and sOlidly for

upon which all democrats must
stand.

there can be no party difference.
for the whole country wants the
best route selected and the big ditch
dug with the utmost speed and
economy.
But in other matters there are diff
ferences. Subsidy is one of them,
and against il unalterably is dem
ocracy. The tariff is another. and
the democratic position is for
reduction and reform. Other things
will come TO the front. Altogether
there will be plenty of principle and
policy for n fine party contest when
the fighting time comes.
