Department in anticipation of war with
Japan was made yesterday, when the
naval board consisting of Admiral Hen
nv Glass, Captain c. B. Perkins, Cap
tain t. s. Phelps and Lieutenant Dam
forth inspected the Pacific Mail steam
ship Korea as to her availability as an
auxiliary cruiser. After the navy men

ability of making speed they founo
that she was able to carry the required
armament.
Captain Perkins stated that the In
spection of the vessel was merely III
pursuance of the act of Congress Oh
April 1905, which requires that vessels
be properly equipped in case OF olsas-
ter. But the fact that they asked re-
earding the mounting of guns on the
ship is significant.

cific Mail Company's liner Korea TINS
morning unexpectedly, specifically ask

functions of a scout ship in case OF

reaching Importance.

The lecture was confined
mainly to pointing out the de-
fects in the present educational
system. The most important OF
which are: The salaries for
competent teachers are too
small and therefore incompetent
teachers are employed, and the
courses now given by the grad
ed schools are not conducive to
the greatest benefit, since the
present courses are mainly a pre-
paration for college and only
about one out of every ten pu-
pills that graduate from a grad
ed school ever attends college.
There should be incorporated in
the graded school system prac-
tical courses, such as cooking,
sewing. agriculture, etc.

spent Friday in town. During
the morning he visited the Grad

lectured in the court house on
the subject of education. 1t
was a source of regret to the

WOODEN Range
SWEPT OUT.
Two Store BUILDINGS and DWELLING
House DESTROYED BY FIRE
MONDAY NIGHT.

Monday night. between eight
and nine o'clock, the alarm of
fire was given and it was found
that Mr. Meyers bakery in the rear.
of Scott & Miller's market on
East Main street, was burning.
The fire department and bucket
brigade responded with COM
mendable alacrity and it was dne
to the energetic and intelligent
work done that the fire was con-
fined to the three wooden build
ing between P S Courtney's and,
g Ollie .Epps' stores. At one
time it looked as if Mr. CourtneY's
store was doomed, as the flames
leaped upon the side of the
building the height of the walls
and. over On the roof. Had this
store burned there. is little
doubt that the town would have
suffered a disastrous confagra
ton. AS it was the fire quickly
spread to the wooden restaurant
next to the market, occupied by
Phil Fulton, colored, and swept
it out of existence in short order;
then the nearby cottage Of Miss
Mollie Epps caught and this
too, was soon reduced to ashes.
Mr. Ollie Epps' brick stores
next to Miss Epps' cottage, was
saved by heroic effort, the out
side. steps and platform being
burned and most of the window
glass on the side next to the
fire shattered. The two wooden.
stores, were owned by Mr. RIB
Kellahan. Most of the contents
of the three buildings destroyed
were saved.
The value of the burned huild-
ings is estimated at about 81, 300
or 81 900, and Mr.. Myers oven
and utensils and supplies foot
no to $500 or $500. All this IS q
total loss, as we learn that the
owners of the property carried
no insurance. ----@

No Institute al Clemson College.

EDITOR COUNTY RECORD:
Will you please notify the
farmers through the columns of
your paper that the board of
trustees of the Clemson Agricul-
tural College will be forced to
suspend the Farmers Institute
at Clemson College this summer
because of the preparation they
are making to admit two hun
dred more students to the bene-
fits of the institution? The dor
mitories will be placed in the
hands of the contractors to be
remodeled and arranged for the
admission of these extra stu.
dents, and it will be impossible,
therefore, for them to be put in
shape for the accommodation of
our visitors during the Farmers
Institute.
Our institute work through
the State will be considerably
enlarged and extended through
the year so that the benefits OF
the work will be given to the
people wherever desired. With
the use of the cars, placed at
our disposal by the Southern
Railway Company, we can do
very much more work for the
benefit of the farmers than we
were able to do in the past.
Very truly yours,
P. H. NELL,
President.

Late in the day motion was made

was explained it was not fair to the

moved to table the motion, saying
II wish to again show my contempt
of that man" His motion prevailed:
The governor has been very earnset
in urging the passage of platform

that free passes be shut out so the

be freed from their influence. He
asked Day to have the bill called out
at the last moment in the hope that
something could be accomplished.
