do so Mr.. Wilson says:
"Allow me the privilege Of
saying that hope our Confer

Lancaster and will meet IN that
thriving city in 1909. We have
ever met there. and have not
been often in that section OF our

right. The Conference has never

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK.

than one speaker had something
interesting to say about the farm
demonstration work that has
been undertaken by the national
department of agriculture, all
agreeing that it is the "only
work ever instituted which aims
at reaching the mass of people
in their homes," to quote the
words of Prof. Campbell, one of
the speakers, as reported in The
State. There was also meet
ing in Columbia during the week
of the agents OF the farm demon
stration work, who "discussed
the many phases OF the work and
exchanged experiences, says
The State. According to the
same newspaper, this farm de-
monstration is now in operation
in the following counties: Rich
land, Lexington, Kershaw, Lau
rens, Chester, Fairfield, Sumter,
Lee, Union, Cherokee. Ander-
son, GreenviIle and other coun
ties"
Why is it that Lancaster is not
among the counties getting the
benefit of this important work? ?
A Lexipg, ION especial" in the
News and Courier of recent date
state ed that it was "through the
efforts OF Congressman Lever in
a large measure that the depart
ment has undert AIKEN the several
lines of work now going on in
the State" But it is not likely
that Mr.. Lever is exerting his ill.,
huence outside of his own dis
trict, in which, by the way, the
same correspondent states that
four of the six counties are being
worked under the new system.
The CORES spondent gives the plan
OF the government representa-
tive in charge of the work in this
State as follows:
1.-The plan by which he works
is to have one field agent cover
the entire State. district agents
to cover more restricted territory
AMI then local county agents
These latter are successful and
progressive farmers chosen from
the farmers OF the county in
which they operate. These 10
Cal agents act under the ins'ruc
tions OF the field agents,
who in turn act under the direc
ton OF the State agent The
aim OF the depari ment is to put
into operation upon the farms
the best agricultural methods
compiling both practical and
theoretical agriculture. The
county agents select a number Of
demonstration, as they are called,
and with these make demonstra-
t'"rs prove that improved
methods bring The best results
and the largest profits 10 the far
mers. AS Mr. Williams ex-
presses it, 1.-The demonstration
work must demonstrate" " That

STRANGE IDEA0F JOKE, THIS
Consists in Securing Publication of
Fake Engagement.


Somebody, evidently under the inn
preston that he was playing a funny,
practical joke, telephoned The Ar
gus yesterday a purported an
|nouncement of the engagement of
Miss Lillian Pearson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Sidney Pearson, 2606 Fifth
Iand-a-half avenue, and Edward l.. Mich
|olas. So plausibly were details given
that the story was printed, and as 4
result there were two very much sur
Eprised families last evening. The par
ents of both the young woman and the
young man assure The Argus that
neither party is of manageable age,
land therefore the engagement an
Inouncement must be hoax.
1t appears there are number of
smart alecs in the city who have been
making practice OF late of giving
fake engagement announcements to
the newspapers. So careful are they
! in studying out the details aud In draw
ing the names of others in 10 support
their statement that the ordinary
rules of notification seem met. and
thus grave wrong is perpetrated
upon the interested parties and upon
the public The Argus is willing Ia
pay substantial reward for informa.

the ordinance week ago. called it up
for adoption. There was little discus

ordinance. DR.. Ostrom stated that he
did not favor $1,000 license unless the
limitation ordinance proposed some
time ago should accompany the in
creased license. He wanted TO offer
a substitute for the motion for the
adoption of the ordinance. but was
held to be out of order. DR.. Ostrom

TOOK MERCURY
Mrs. John w. Mikesell, While
Angry, Swallows a Large
Tablet of BichIoride.
STOMACH PUMP SAVES LIFE.
Physicians Efforts Are Successful
Deed Follows Domestic Mis-
understanding.

Mrs. John W. Mikesell, 1884 Seventh
life yesterday afternoon about $50 by
taking an enormous quantity of poi
son. Mrs. Mikesell and her husband
had a slight misunderstanding and in
fit of anger she took a tablet con-
tanning seven and a half grains of BIZ
chloride of mercury. This is enough
to kill two persons ordinarily, and it
was only because of the fact that she
was given medical aid within less than
half an hour that her life was saved.
After taking the tablet containing the
poison, Mrs. Mikesell went about her
work as usual, but was soon seized
with fits of vomiting. A little inquiry
by her husband drew from her the
fact that she had taken the poison. A
physician was called and he responded
at once. A stomach pump was called
into use and as much of the poison as
had not already been absorbed into
her system was removed.
VIII Probably Recover.
After the arrival and attention OF
the physician, the vomiting ceased and
Mrs. Mikesell was soon resting easily,
but because of the fact that bi-chloride
of mercury is such a slow-acting poison
it was very uncertain whether she
would recover or not. This morning,
however, it was stated that the pros
poets of her recovery are very bright
and that there is very little chance of
a relapse Mr.. Mikesell conducts a
