Efficient School Teachers,

This subject, 50 ably discussed by
Prof. d. w. Daniel of Clemson college
in the court house at YOrkville last
Monday, is one of the most important
that the people of South Carolina have
to do with at this time.
Prof. Daniel. in his talk, laid partic-
ular stress on the remSsness of the
people in failing to pay the teachers
the right kind of salaries-enough tC
make the work attractive, and in al
he said, he was right; but lack Of time
made 1t impossible to develop the sub
ject as he no doubt intended to do.
There is not "a question before the
people of this country that is more
important than the question Of edu-
cation. Upon education depends the
future welfare of every child as well
as of the country as a whole, and the
parent or for that matter, the citizen
who is not a parent. who fails to APP
preciate the tremendous Importance OF
education. hardly knows enough to lay
up in the fall a supply of firewood for
use in the winter
But it must not be understood that
Mr.. Daniel meant that because a young
man or Il young woman is willing to
teach school. he or she should have
good pay. He meant nothing of the
kind. He knows as well as any of us

THE INSTITUTE AT SHARON.

In the Columbia State Of yesterday,
appeared the following account Of the
visit of the Clemson car at Sharon, the
account being written by Col. ]. c..
Stribbling, president Of the Farmers
Union, who is travelling with the car:
here today. Music was furnished by
the Sharon cornet band.
The speaking commenced at 1880 In
a grove near the church. DR.. Saye
welcomed the people to Sharon in a
few happy remarks, turning over the
keys to the town in a manner to make
all visitors feel welcome. DIR. Saye
introduced Prof j. n. Harper, who en-
tertained the farmers for about forty
minutes in a very practical talk on
proper fertilization of crops and soil
Improvement. Among others things,
Prof. Harper stated that plants do not
feed on the SOIL but drink plant food,
therefore all plant food must be in a
soluble form before the plants can feed
upon the plant food. He also stated
that we did not need much potash In
our red clay soils for the reason that
we already have about $4,000 worth
under every acre of red clay land In
the state, which could be made avail
able by proper cultivation and fall
blowing.
He also stated that the farmers of
the state could save each year by
iudicious use of proper fertilizers
enough money to build two Clemson
colleges, and by buying the ingredi-
ents and mixing their own fertilizers
on their farms the farmer could save
from SIS to Sc on every ton.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1907-08-02

1t is we'll to state here that Prof.
Harper and Prof. c. L. Newman both
disapprove of any attempt by the far
mer to make his own acid phosphate
by adding sulphuric acid to the ground
rock floats on the farm.
DR.. Bracket in his lecture told the
farmers that In buying fertilizers they
should get that ton idea out Of their
minds and consider the pounds Of
plant food in as concentrated q form
as possible-that Is, use only the high
est grade materials in their dry mix
ing and quit buying low grade goods
by the ton. DR.. Bracket stated that no
farmer could afford to use snch low
grade goods at 8-2-2; that this low
grade goods cost the manufactures
more, but 1t was the costliest fertili-
ger on the market, when we consider
the cost Of pounds Of plant food con-
tained in this low grade goods.
DR.. Bracket Is standing the trip bet
ter than any Of the lecturers on the
car. Col. Daniel had to leave the car
and go in today.
AS little as some people think about
1t, this travelling around over the
country speaking every day is very
hard work and but few men can stand

Il is to be hoped that the supervi-

ceed about purging the lists OF the
hundreds of names that do not belong
there.
The lien people having shut down

turns have not yet been received,

If the people Of York had for neigh
bors a. hostile people who were likely
to make armed incursions into this
territory at any time, we would ADVISE
every man to buy a gun with which to
protect life and property. 1nasmuch'
however, as the principal menace TO
property, liberty and self-respect lies
elsewhere, our advice Is not as to
guns, but as to registration certin-
Gates. Let every man get registra-
ton certificate.
Because of the fact that so many
people are careless of their registration
certificates, not being able to find them
when voting time comes, The Enquirer
desires to say that Its office is provided
with a first-class safe in fire-proor
vault and that the use Of these con-
veniences will be allowed to and and all
voters, at the Yorkville precinct, VINO
desire to make use Of the same. we
will take charge of certificates, keep
them where they can be found and
deliver them up on request, whenever
there is any voting to be done.

that engaged in the business Of teach
ing at twenty-five, thirty or even for
ty aad fifty dollars a month, are many
young men and women, who are get
ting twice or three times as much as
they are worth, who could be better
sewing, scrubbing or even loafing.
There are cases where the community
would do better to pay them for loafing
rather than teaching.
One of the most pitiable tragedies
of every day life is that to be seen in
the school room where the precious
hopes of the budding children are be-
ing dwarfed and blasted by the ineffi-
cient guidance Of inexperienced, un-
educated teachers.
The qualifications Of an efficient
teacher are very exacting. In the first
place he or she should be man or
woman Of high moral character, and
imbued with an appreciation Of the tre-
mendous Importance Of the work, and
in the second place he or she should be
thoroughly equipped as to the branches
that are being taught. A broad knowl-
edge Of the things that are to come
later is not at all out of place.
We want for teachers, people, who
are able to command high salaries
elsewhere; people who are in demand
because of their own individual abil-
tiles, and we want to pay them for
teaching as much as they could make
at any other employment, or even a
little more; but we do not want to
encourage the idea that young man
or woman is entitled to a big salary
for teaching regardless Of his or her
ability to teach, and regardless Of
whether he or she holds his or her
position by virtue Of favor or pull,
rather than by virtue Of merit.
We are quite sure that Mr.. Daniel
will subscribe to all that we have said
along this line, and in the meantime
we agree with him that we need in the
schools the very best we have and that
to get them there, We must pay them.

BEST RATION FOR cows.

The agricultural experiment station
at Clemson college has just completed
quite an important series of tests look
ing to the disclosure Of what would
seem to be the best ration for cows
The tests covered a period Of five
months, and the conclusions are sum-
married in Bulletin No. 131 as follows:
1. Good cotton seed meal when
fed in conjunction with good corn sill
age may be fed to the extent OF from
five to six pounds per cow daily with
out affecting the health OF the anil
mails. Indeed, such a ration appears
to keep cows in an unusually good
state of health.
2. A ration consisting Of cotton
seed meal and good corn silage Is
consumed by cows with great relish,
which Is in no way lessened when the
feeding Of such a ration Is continued
for a period Of five months.
8. No bad effects were noticeable
from the practice Of feeding cotton
seed meal and corn silage separately
On the contrary, such a practice ap-
pears to have distinct advantages over
the common practice Of mixing the
meal with the roughness. Our results
therefore, tend to disprove the pre-
vailing belief that heavy concen-
trates like cotton seed meal Will act
detrimentally on the health OF cows
when fed unmixed with more bulky
feeds.
4. Cows fed exclusively on cotton
seed meal and corn silage for a period
of five months exhibited no craving
for dry roughage, but always prefer
red silaPe to good hay.
s, According to the herd records
the cows yielded more milk and but
ter-fat during the experiment than
during any corresponding period T
previous years.
6. Cotton seed meal and rich, well
matured corn silage constitute an ex-
cellent ration for cows yielding from
twenty to thirty pounds Of milk daily
7. Cotton seed meal and corn Sill
age form by far the cheapest dairy
feeds available to our dairymen. The
cost of such a ration Is only signify
more than half as much as that or the
common dairy ration now fed IN tnls
state.
&. Our good results in the exclusive
fee|ing Of cotton seed meal and corn
silage as a dairy ration, are undoubt-
edly largely attributable to the fac'
that the corn silage was made from
we'll matured corn rich in grain. max
ing 1t especially rich In carbo-hy'
drates. Unless silage Is especially rich
in grain, a ration consisting entirely
of corn silage and cotton seed meal
will lack in non-nitrogenous matter,
8. With cotton seed meal furnish
ing an unusually cheap protein sup
Div, and with the great yields OF corr
possible in this state, we feel confident
that milk can be produced as cheaply
IL not more cheaply, in South caro-
lima than in any other portion or the
world

Mr.. Martins outburst against Gov

the opening gun in Mr.. Martins cam
paign for governor. And If Mr.. Mar
tin should be elected governor, is 1t
not probable that he would insist on
naming the members of the state board
of education, defending himself on the
ground that he was once superinten-
dent and thoroughly understands the
whole situation? We think also that
if Mr. Martin were governor, he would
probably insist that the superintendent

FINLEY AND JOHNSON.
Newspaper Comment That 10 compli.
nnentary to Both.

The Hon. D. E. Finley Is the dean
Of the South Carolina delegation In
the lower house Of congress and Is q
very clear-headed politician. More
over, those who are familiar with his
career will recall that he has never
been timorous about expressing his
opinion as, for example, when he was
state senator In Columbia, elected as
a Reformer or "Tillmanite," he
promptly denounced the caucus meth
DDS of his faction and declared that
he would not participate In q caucus
against other Democrats.
While we have no particular reason
to suspect that Congressman Finley
would be disposed to look fayorably
upon Governor Johnson OF Minnesota,
as a Democratic candidate for presi-
dent, we are not in the least surpris-
ed that, holding that view, he gives 1t
expression. 1t Is like him to speak
out in meeting" One OF the singular
characteristics Of most politicians Is
their fear to take position even on
questions about which there Is little
difference Of opinion, their everlasting
waiting for the "cat to jump" Sena-
tor Tillman is q notable exception to
the rule and one Of the secrets OF his
uncommon success has been his WIZ
ingness to tell whe.e he stands and, Il
he makes q mistake, he has confidence
in his ability to cover the recollection
Of II in the public mind by onering
something else to think about.
Congressman Finley's reference TO
Governor johnson will serve a good
purpose, whether or not the Mime
sofa statesman be seriously consider
ed in connection with the Democratic
nomination for president. The DEM
ocratic party Is In q most unhappy
plight so long as II Is told by Its lead
ers that 1t contains only one man or
Importance. There can be no healthy
independence in the party In South
Carolina or elsewhere so long as It's
gaze is fixed on Mr.. Bryan to the ex-
clusion of all others. Supposing that
Mr.. Bryan is the colossal figure that
his devotees believe him to be, 1t Is
none the less true that the party con-
tains others quite his equal In all the
cardinal virtues and talents. In
Democratic country no man is likely
| to be produced who towers, as did
Saul above his brethren, and men OF
common sense and self-respect have
little patience with hysterical adula-
ton heaped upon any man. Men OF
CONGRESSMAN Finley's discrimination
know that the Democratic candidate
must be chosen from among men, not
demi- gods, and he does his party
service in pointing out one OF tie
strong figures in its ranks.-News and
Courier.
