Funeral OF a Religious Scoffer.

Louisville, KY, April 4.-The ashes
Of G. NJ. Strader, an old Kentucky sol
9th, were cast on the waves of the Ohio
river at midnight, in accordance with his
will. A small party of friends, headed
by Humphrey NJ. Strader, took the IL
O'Clock ferry boat last night for Jeffer-
sonville, and on the return trip the ashes
were thrown into the river as the boat
passed under the Big Four bridge. The
walk ways of the bridge were crowded
with people who expected the ashes to
be cast into water from the bridge. In
concluding his directions as to the cast
ing of his ashes on the rivers surface
Strader said: "When this is done, if the
Angel Gabriel can collect my remains
for Judgment l will take off my hat to
him and will be there at the last roll
call" Col. Strader often talked of the
plan for the disposition of his remains.
He would laugh and say he wished those
who had charge of the ceremonies would
be sure to say, Here goes nothing"
He believed in the "eat, drink and be
merry" adage, and lived accordingly"

"The recent rapid and extraordinary
rise in the price of cotton has greatly
stirred the farmers. A large majority
are preparing to plant an increased area
in cotton and to use an increased quan.
tity of fertilizers. This is "a great mis-.
take. Cotton is now scarce and high
because the seasons have been unfavora-
BILE for the past three years. With good
seasons we would have had twelve
million bale crop in 1908. In that case
cotton would now be selling at Z or 8
conts. With good seasons this year we
will mike thirteen million bales, and
that will give MS cents cotton again.

Two Girls Fight.

Danyille, Va, April l.--Misses Carrie
Eughes and Mamie Wilson, both IL years
of age, engaged in q terrific fight last
night over the affections of Henry Smith
son, young man who is alleged to have
been paying court to both of them. Miss
Wilson followed tho young man to the
house of her rival, peeped through the
shutters and saw her in the young mans
arms: She held her passion in check
until the young man was ready to take
his leavs, when she saw the other girl
kiss him goodbye on the steps. Then,
from the shadow around the corner,
there was launched upon the unsuspect-
ing glare and her satisfied companion an
avalanche of pettiooats. Miss Hughes
jerked from the arms of her astonished
companion and collapsed in miserable
heap on the ground. Then the avalanche
jumped on her and beat her. Miss
Hughes proceeded to fight a little on her
own account as soon as she could get her
wits about her and she claims that all
the hair that was left in the yard was
not out of her own head.

Positive Christians.

If promises are made in all the
affairs of life, why should they not
have their place in connection with
religion? When Frederick Maurice
and a schoolmate promised each
other in early life that they would
try to distinguish themselves and
promote as far as possible the well
fare of humanity, they gained thereby
a decided impetus toward right liv-
ing. Every young Christian who
thoughtfully, calmly promises to
serve his Endeavor Society, his
church, his pastor, his Sunday school
in definite ways, takes forward
step in his Christian experience.
Such actual commitment to specific
work is far better than the non com
initial attitude of so many people
who think they are all right without
any outward manifestation of their
faith. The world respects positive
Christians, and Christ wants such.-

there are more attempts made to manu-

The Strong Boy.

Do you know him ? Perhaps he
doesn't weigh lao pounds. Perhaps
he doesn't play center rush on the
team, or stop the ball behind the bat,
or lead the tug of war, or put the
shot the farthest, or row stroke oar.
Perhaps he doesn't swagger, and
bluster, and bluff, and boast, and
Ouliy, aud browbeat little chaps ii
they fall in his way, or"guy" modest
girls as they meet him, or jostle
elderly people If he pass them, OF
defy the teacher, or ridicule the
preacher.
Perhaps he is slender, modest, stu
dious, retioent, respectful, quiet. Not
girlsh or prudish, not pale faced OF
puny, but just q rational, diligent,
earnest, sober boy.
The strong boy may make mis-.
takes, but it is at these times when
he may best prove his strength. He
may fall in with bad fellows, bad
manners, bad habits, bad amuse-
ments, bad intentions. He feels
their grip and influence tightening.
He knows their danger, but other
boys risk it, and he rather likes to
be one of the boys.
There comes day, however, (more
likely night alone with his soul,
when a word of warning comes bach
10 him from early days; word Of
mother dear or father faithful. Con.
science sounds alarm. He feels those
chains of influence, appetite, or habit
which were supposed to be fanciful
merely and easily broken, contract
ing with slow, but irresistible power
AT this crisis in bis life the strons
boy does not stop minute to argue
with conscience, for each moment
the grip is tightening.
He exerts his strength.
What happens?
He is free!
The world cheers him, God helps
him. He can go now with Daniel tt
the lions den; to any fiery furnace
of temptation. He knows his DANCE
and his power. 1t takes strong boy t
say "no" when he is tempted to dt
what he would like to do but should
not to stand firm and still when pro
voked and taunted to hold himsel
in hand when passions become wilt
horses and try to run away. Such
boy is bigger than Napoleon, o
Grant. He that ruleth himself il
greater than he that taketh city

money belongs to farmers in the vicinity.
an ! much of it is intended to start. on
their children in business. These young
men re Americans fred with the Ameri.
can spirit, and will make fine citizens.
The situation at Onarga is, according to
Mr. ltra, about the same all over the

bic field for work here.

Farmers Institutes for Counties and State

At meeting of the committee on
farmers Institutes from the trustees
of Clemson College it was decided
that the local institutes, to be held
in the various communities which
ask for them, will be held during the
month of July, except in the case
of the coast section, where Institutes
will be held hereafter in the winter.
The general institute to be held
at the college was scheduled to begin
on August and last throughout the
week. In order to prevent an over
flow of attendance the following sys-
tenn of admission was adopted !:
Those who wish to attend must
apply beforehand and they will be
issued tickets of attendance. When
as many as the college can care for
have been issued tickets no more
will be issued, and any persons com
ing to the institute without tickets
will do so upon their own RESPONSE
bility, as to board and lodging, and
if they fail to get accommodations
here they cannot in any way hold
the college responsible. The tickets,
however, will be transferable, and if
a man who has applied for and
received ticket finds that he cannot
attend the institute he may dispose
of his admission ticket to some other
who has none but would like to
come. 1t has been found that board
and lodging at so cents per day was
d financial loss to the college, and
the price therefore has been increased
TO rs cents per day.
OF course an effort will be made to
get reduced railroad rates for the in
stitute, and there is all probability
that very reasonable rate can be
gotten as heretofore.
Last year, in addition to South
Caroinians who have achieved sue.
cess and prominence as farmers,
there were men of national reputa-
ton here to address the institute
meetings.
The college purposes to have an
even better and stronger array of
speakers and lecturers this year and
besides the prepared addresses, etc,
which will be scheduled in advance,
the authorities desire to emphasize
the "experience meeting" feature OF
the institute by devoting several
evenings to hearing experiences in
farming from those in attendance.
Following are some of the subjects
which will be discussed
CD Industrial education.
(2) Effects of agricultural educa-
ton in South Carolina.
(3) The cattle industry-looking
to the raising of better beef and
dairy herds.
(4) The necessity of more stock
and how to feed them.
(5) Fruit and vegetable growing.
(6) Insects aud diseases Injurious
to plants.
O Importance of labor-saving
implements on the farm.
(S) Best methods of /, 4 improve
ment.
Coy How to make and apply ferti,
lizers.
QO) Best crops for hay.
The attendance last year was i'm
mense, and taxed the utmost capacity
OF the college to care for the people
This year the college hopes to be
able to care for larger number, if
they come, and care for them better
The details of the arrangements
for both the local and the college in
stitutes will be in the hands of a
committee, consisting of DR.. Nell,
Col. Newman and Assistant Prof
Benton.
