To Teach Agriculture.
Clos Angeles Express. }

A resolution adopted at the recent
convention Of school superintendents
at Washington indicates what might
be called new trend in education In
the United States. The assembled
teachers went on record as favoring
the study Of agricultural subjects In
the schools of the rurs. districts.
1t must be admitted that from the
inception of the famous American in
Istitution the "little red school house."
educators have not fully realized the
ambitions of utilitarians. They have
taught the farm children a sufficiency
Of mathematics to deal successfully
with sharp tradesmen, but they have
insisted quite properly on including
a few cultural studies in their curri-
culum.
Meanwhile technical education has
flourished, but not on the farm. In
struction in agriculture has been en-
pirical, and while farming traditions
and experience are not to be disre-
garded, a knowledge of underlying
sciences would surely add to the at
tractiveness of rural life and tighten
it's physical burdens.
Now the school teachers have de-
cided that admiration for reapers and
plows and disgust for back-breaking
tasks shall be modified and sweeten-
ed by a knowledge Of chemistry, bot
any and other sciences and arts that
pertain to the work Of the farm.

Oxalura, a New Nerve Disease.
(NeW York Herald.)

That he had discussed a new dis
ease Of the nerves, which he terms
"oXalura," before the recent inter-
national medical congress in Vienna,
was stated yesterday by DR.. Gustav
Baar, Of Portland, Oregon. The ply
sician was one of three representa-
tives sent from this country to at
tend the biennial meeting OF medical
men.
81 have determined that In many
cases the breaking down of the
nerves is often caused by the presence
Of large quantities Of oralic acid in
the SYSTEM" said DR.. Baar. "This
disease l have named oxalura, and
before the congress I read treatise
on my discoveries and recommends
tions as to proper treatment.
For one thing, believe that the
so-called rest will soon be a thing Of
the past as a treatment for nervous
exhaustion. On the contrary, a slim
ulation Of the muscular energies is
needed, and the patient will be more
Immediately benefited and ultimately

GIGANTIC WAR MANOEUvREs
So6'5SS Men to Be Engaged in Sham
Battle in Germany.

A Berlin dispatch says: The pub
lication Of the orders for the army
manoeuvres In the fall of this year
In which nearly a million men will be
engaged in various parts of the coun-
try, has aroused the most extraordi-
nary interest in civil as well as IN
military circles. The strength of the
army is to be increased for the time
Deing by no fewer than 269,742 men
from the reserves, who, with the
standing peace army Of 626,846 men.
will bring the total under arms at
the end of August up to S96,588, who
lwill fight tactically against each other
corps by corps.
Cavalry, artillery. infantry, engi-
neers, motorists, balloonists, field
telegraphists and telephonists. cyc-
lists and all the branches of the SER
vice, which look after supply, trans
port and communications, are to un-
dergo searching tests.
The exercises which attract most
attention are naturally the imperial
manoeuyres in Alsace-Lorraine, as
| this will be the first time since the
war Of 1870 that manoeuvres on
such an extensive scale will have
taken place so near the frontier. The
l5th and 18TH army corps will there
oppose each other in mimic war and
undergo several tactical and strategic
instruction under the immediate eve
Of the Emperor.
Each Of these corps is to be made
up of three divisions of infantry and
division Of cavalry, with the reuui-
site for artillery. The infantry regi-
ments are to consist of three battal-
ions of 500 men each. Two Of these
| regiments will form a brigade, two
! brigades a division and three dlvis-
| ions an army corps, so that each
| corps will possess 2S,800 infantry
men at once, while the staff will have
| at It's disposal for emergencies a re-
| serve infantry regiment and a reserve
battery Of artillery. The cavalry di-
vision attached to each corps COM
, prises ten regiments.
Some instructive siege operations,
with attacks by heavy artillery on
| field Notifications, such as happened
during the Russo-Japanese war, are
| to be executed.
The garrison and coast artillery
are to undertake lengthy periods of
| defence exercises along the coasts in
conjunction with the navy. Each
battery has had $50 live shells issued
to 1t for shooting practice.

DEMOCRATS MUST REGISTER.
Appeal from the State Chairman,
Gen. Willie Jones.
(The State, Aug. g.

The State Chairman of the Demo-
cratic party. Gen. Willie Jones, has is
sued an appeal to the Democratic
the general election and thus pre-
vent possible contests, should the
vote be close in the Congressional
election. Just before leaving for Eu-
rope, where John G. Capers was sent
for the summer at the expense of
the government, the Republican Ma
tiohal Committeeman urged that the
Republicans poll a heavy vote and
roll VI! large total for the candi-
dates for Congress" and the Taft
Sherman ticket.
At the campaign meeting Tuesday
Governor Ansel In his speech urged
the Democrats to register and vote
in the general election. He pointed
out the danger of contests and made
every voter in the audience realize
the serious situation that might arise
she I'D the Republicans carry the
lower house by a very narrow mar
gin.
Chairman Jones remarked Tues
day that he wished to emphasize this
point made by GovernorAnsel and af-
terwards he issued the following ad-
dress:
TO the Democratic Voters Of South
Carolina: Fellow Democrats - In
view of the great Indifference which
seems to exist among Democrats of
this State as to registering under the
new law requiring all voters to regis
ter this year, | feel it to be my duty
as your chairman to address you in
this public manner and urge you to
go to your county seats at once and
register. There Is no doubt about
the fact that the negroes are register
ing in great numbers in some coun-
ties and If the Democrats do not reg
lister they cannot vote in the general
election in November next, and some
OF our Congressman may be defeated
The electoral ticket Of this State may
also be endangered by the failure of
the Democrats to register. The time
IL
that it will be almost impossibia 70
be reregistered. We have healu of
late various threats that our repre-
sentation in Congress would be re-
duced by a Republican Congress on
account of our small vote in the gene
raj election. All indications now are
that the next House Of Representa-
tives will be very close and the past
history of the Republican party
proves that that party will stop al
nothing to count in working ma
jority should 1t be in power.
Now, fellow Democrats, do not al
low this serious charge to be made
against you, but So Immediately and
register, and be prepared to roll up
a big majority for the Democratic
electoral ticket and also for our Con-
gressional nominees. The Democratic
County Chairmen throughout the
State are urged to earnestly request
the Democrats in their respective
counties to attend to this important
matter at once and to use their best
efforts to get them out Immediately,
as the time expires for registration
September 1, 1908.
Very respectfully. Willie Jones,
State Chairman.

THE LESSON FROM MISSOURI

1t is a mistake to assert that Gov

elected in a local election on a

The election of Attorney General
Herbert S. Hadley as governor of
Missouri was in some ways a more
remarkable triumph than that of
Governor Hughes.

at present strongly Republican and,
while there can be no doubt that
Huhges helped Taft both inside and

Mr.. Hadley is the Republican at

MINING FOR ELECTRICITY.

Great local differences in the cleo
trifcation of the earth is known to
exist, and now a German engineer
suggests that with better knowledge
it may be possible to make mining
for electricity as profitable as dig
ging for coal or metals. In expert
ments in two comparatively shallow
bearings he has obtained weak cur
rents between small rod of brass
or iron immersed in the water of
the pia and a similar rod buried near
the surface. He urges contractors,
mining companies and others to keep
up the experiments and is DESTROYS

foot copper cylinder at the bottom
of a boring of zoe feet or more and

are to be obtained from long iron
pipes buried in the ground. Ii seems
possible that means may be found in
this way for charging accumulators
