By no means not the least of the
important works undertaken by
Clemson college to elevate the stand
ard of agriculture, is the holding Of
what is known as Farmers Insti-
tutes in the several counties of the
State at which various lectures on
different branches of agriculture are
delivered by specialists in those
branches. As old methods of farm
ing have passed away and new ones
are being adopted, we take it that
these institutes are held for the pur-
pose of teaching the farmers how to
farm under the new system. We are
living in what might be termed an
age of farming on scientific princi-
pies and he who neglects or refuses
to inform himself along these lines
will, as a rule, be left.
Our fsrmer friends are reminded
that one of the Institutes will be
held in this place on Thursday, July
23rd. This institute will be COZ

Bear in mind that mass meeting
will be held in this place on August
1st to discuss the road question.
Senator Latimer has been invited
to be present and has accepted the
invitation and will probably be here
if he can possibly Go SO. There will
be other prominent speakers who
have given the road question much
thought and attention. We hope to
see large number of our represen-
tstive citizens present.

The reunion of the Confederate
Veterans at Leesville yesterday was
attended by about'two thousand pei
SONS many of whom were old Con-
federate soldiers.
On account of circumstances be-
yond our control we were unable to
be at Leesville, as we fully intended
10. therefore, we have to depend
upon others for our report.
The programme, which has already
been published, was carried out with
the exception Of an address by Hon.
John G. Sheppard, who was unavoid-
ably absent.
The line of march was formed and
headed by large number of children
dressed in white, who presented a
picture of surprising beauty. There
were about two hundred aud fifty
old veterans in line. The procession
then moved to the Chapel OF the
Leesville College, where the exercises
were to take place. This place was
beautifully and appropriately deco
rated with garlands and festoons en-
twining the colors of the Confederscy
When the people had gathered there
the exercises were commenced in the
order of the programme and contin-
ned until completed. All Of the
speeches were in keeping with the
sentiment OF the occasion and were
patriotic in conception and burning
with eloquence, Those whom We
have heard express themselves are in
accord with each other in saying that
The occasion was one that will be
treasured up in the srchives OF mem
mory as being reunion unsurpassed
for enjoyment, pleasure and gener-
ous hospitality. They ere all loud
in their praises of the elaborate ar
rangements made by the reople OF
yLeesyille, and say they were never
better treated in Their Ives.
The town of Lsesville was hand
somely decorated with flags and
bunting as we'll as with h'wers and
evergreens. The people of Leesville
certainly deserve much credit for
their liberality and patriotism in
bringing off the affair SO successfully.
The dinner, which was free to the
old soldiers, was oneof Job swygeres
best and this is saying great deal.
The music was furnished by the
Batesburg Brass Fand and was we'll
rendered and enjoyed by all.
Leesville covered herself all over
with glory and honor and we are
real proud Of her and her noble and
hospitable people.

Moonlight Festival.

The moonlight festival of the Lex
ington Brass Band last Thursday
evening was very pleasant affair
It was we'll patronized and the re.
ceipts of the evenings entertainment
we're very satisfactory. The cake
walk, led by the band playing g
march, and the voting contest were
the features of the occasion. Miss
Kate Derrick and Mr.. Ed. Barre
were the fortunate winners of the
cake and Miss Essie Efrd was de.
cided to be the most popular young
lady.
The Band requests US to return i's
thanks to all those who contributed
cakes, custarda, etc, also to the
young ladies who 80 kindly assisted
in serving cream, as we'll as to the
public generally for their liberal
patronage.

professors and among the leading
subjects to be discussed on that oc-
casion will be live stock and animal

special subjects will be arranged if
their is demand.
This Institute: should be largely
attended by those who are interested
in farming Much is to be learned
by doing so. Our farmers should
certainly take an interest in this
meeting ss they are the ones in
whose interest it is held. As far as
We know and can see there is moth
ing in the way to prevent them from
leaving their work Oh July 23rd, and
attending these lectures. The farm
ers of other counties, il which these
institutes have been held, have done
so and let it not be said that the farm
ers of lexington are the exception.

For the benefit of those interested
and "a matter OF general informa-
ton We are running through these
columns Act No. 535, entitled an act
to further regulate the working and
maintaining of the highways and
bridges of the State, IS it appears
in the Statutes at Large Of South
Caroline, session 1902, page 99S.
This act should be carefully studied
by every one interested in road work.
Jog and particularly 80 by the road
overseers, to whom, we presume, a
COPY of the law will be furnished.
There are many hitherto doubtful
questions in reference to the rights
of the Supervisor and Board of
Commissioners in the performa' y
OF their duties, made clear. We
take it that this act clothes the
Supervisor and County Board of
County Commissioners with ample
authority to condemn lands for road
repairs and gives them wide latitude
in the exercise of their judgment
in the repair Of old roads and laying
out of new ones. In fact the whole
matter regarding roads and bridges
is left entirely to the wisdom and
discresion of the County Supervisor
and the County Board of Commis-
sioners. Read the act for yourself
and draw your own conclusions.

At last we have the canal bill pass

part is concerned the preliminaries
are finished. 1t is now up for the
Colombian Congress to act. Should
they insist upon amending the treaty
the whole subject will be once o
In the air and will have to go over
to the next meeting of our Congress.
It is therefore a little too early to eel

choose to continue the fight it would
not be very difficult for them to in

to the treaty and force an amendment.
