COL. ANDREWS EXCUSED.
Physician Certifies He Is Under Treat
ment Still for Angina Pectoris.

During the course of the railroad
trial in court yesterday morning, Mr.
F. II. Busbee. attorney for the South
ern Railway, appeared and asked
Judge Brown to excuse from jury duty
Col. A. b. Andrews, First Vice-Presi-
dent of the Southern Railway, who
was summoned for the third week of
court.
Mr.. Busbee stated that Col. Andrews
would not ask to be excused for bust
ness reasons, but because the state of
his health would not permit it. He
submitted a certificate from DIR. HUI
bert Haywood, saying that he had
treated Col. Andrews for Angina Pee
toris, and that he was still under his
care.
Judge Brown said he supposed he
would have to excuse Col. Andrews
and ordered the doctors letter pat
upon record.

not such rate increase the business of

Yes, sir. | believe they should be
granted a special rate by the railroads,
but not at the expense of the retailer.
Do not Kill the goose that lays the
golden egg. We hope to see the larger
cities of this State enjoying the trade
privileges equal to those enjoyed by
Lynchburg, Va, for example, and the
railroads ought not TO discriminate
against them in favor of cities like
Lynchburg.

tect ourselves against unjust discrimi-
nation against all Ines

of his unique and mirth provoking

He had as his audience the young

ricultural needs and aspirations, is
best fitted to direct the course and
shape the destiny of an agricultural
college.
The result is that we show by ou1
agricultural courses that we still
think mathematics, or military sci,
ence, of more Importance than those
basic studies of chemistry, bacteriol-
ogy, zoology and botany combined.
However, owing to the righteous ne
cessity for real agricultural educa-
ton and the American characteristic
of a~daptability, great progress has
been made and the task of educating
boards of trustees, presidents and
faculties, as we'll as farmers, goes
rapidly forward.
THE PROGRESS OF IMPROVEMENT.
The complete failure of the origin
al college courses in agriculture to
accomplish expected results had two
important effects. The first was to
disgust practical farmers and create
a contempt for agricultural educa-
ton, while the second was to force
radical changes in our ideas regard
ing such education, the result
being that VIC now have four-year
courses in agriculture, two-year
courses, two weeks courses-and one
or two-day courses or farmers insti-
tutes. Of course, old school educa-
tors have been shocked, but the shock
has not been quite sufficient to move
some of them from their positions.
However, the movement towards
practical methods goes rapidly for
ward and as a proof of the success
of these methods, we have only to
cite the fact that there were one
thousand farmers in attendance ON
the two-weeks' course at Iowa Agri-
cultural College during the past win
ter.
But what has all this to do with
the relation of the agricultural col
leges and experiment stations to
farmers Institutes? Simply that the
farmers institute has not only proved
the best mean of educating farmers,
but has also been a marvelIously eff
fective means of educating agricul-
tural college and experiment station
workers. This phase of the matter
will be further considered in next
weeks Progressive Farmer.

nL.-The Relation of the Agricultural
College and Experiment Station to
Farmers Institutes.

SOAe6e anu experiment. SCaC1On TO
Farmers Institutes.
Editors Progressive Farmer:
What a marvellous change has TAX
en- place in our ideas concerning edu-
cation in general and agricultural
education, in particular, during the
last two decades! Formerly it was
generally thought that education was
for the few, but now we know it is
for everybody. In fact, even farm
ing, although perhaps the last great
industry to feel it's quickening in
fuences, is rapidly falling under the
sway of science. 1t is true, that there
still remain a few cold fogies" who
are 'too old to learn" and believe
that a knowledge of the scientific
or correct principles underlying
farm practice makes a man less prac-
tlcal, but even in this conservative
Southland these fossils" are now
comparatively rare.
LIE ALOH Or II
EDUCATION.
In short, it is now pretty general
ly recognized that while an agricul-
tural education will not give a man
that adaptability and judgment, pop
ularly known as practical common
sense, it will enable him to use that
with which nature has endowed him,
whether it be little or much, to far
greater advantage.
When our agricultural colleges
were first established and agricul-
tural courses introduced into other
educational institutions old and
beaten paths were very naturally fol-
lowed. There was little agricultural
science and no tested knowledge of
the best methods of agricultural in
structiOn. As a consequence, law
yers, preachers and classical scholars |
were put in charge of these agricul-
tural colleges and shaped their cur
IlNulb dhu dIICCICu IuCII ODCTdL1OIS. |
The course laid down was generally
of four years duration, and divided
about as follows: One-fourth, or one |
year, was devoted to mathematics;
One-fOurth to military duties, cspe-
clally IN the South; O%ne-fourth to
English, history, ETC.; and the re-
manning o%nc-fourth of the time was
taken up with al abstract study of
the sciences directly and Indirectly
relating to agriculture.
ERRORS 1 EARLY AGRICULTURAL (P) |
TEACHING.
What wonder is it that failures
were universal III so far as concerned
the education of farmscrs in farm
ing! Why should we marvel that
farmers became Disguised with this
so-callcd agricultural education and
that it fell into general d]isrcputc? |
To me the wonder is that such a
counterfeit should have received the
consideration it has.
The pity is, we have not yet COM

Twice in a Week.

The safe In the Duluth & Iron
Range depot at Virginia was twice
blown in one week the last time being
a week ago Saturday and the first
time the Wednesday previous. The
first time nothing was found by the
burglars and ditto the last. The safe
was left unlocked on Saturday night
but nevertheless the door was blown
off and sent through window ten
feet distant. 1t is supposed that the
deed was done by the same gang that
attempted an affair of this kind on
the postoffice safe here on Thanks
giving morning and were routed oy
the police.

Strike Ended at Chisholm.

The strike of the strippers at
Chisholm has come to an end with
out any serious complications, the
larger part of the men going back to
work Monday morning. The story
goes that the strike was inaugurated
by two clever agitators from Colo
RADIO who induced the men to believe
that the contractors for the stripping
were compelled to finish their work
within short time and pointed out
the advantages of striking at the
present time owing, as they said to a
scarcity of labor. The two smooth
ones then collected SIS from each of
the men as strike fund and decamp-
ed with the treasury. AS soon as the
men found they were duped. their
ardor was dampened several degrees.

Dead Men Found.

The body of an unknown man was
found by Ed. Purdy of Tower in the
woods about two miles south OF that

Wunder went out and brought in the
remains but nothing could be found
to identify the dead man. 1t was
coniectured that the body had lain
there year or more. The remains
were buried at Tower.
A Two Harbors man while hunting
also came across the skeleton OF a
man near that city Monday. BY the
side of the remains was found re
yolyer with all the chambers loaded
except one. A bullet hole was fount
in the skull. 1t is supposed to be th'
