the agricultural colleges, because the
emergency is one for the present gen
Grafton.
If I could have my way I should
build a couple Of warships less a
year. I would take that $5,0O0,OOO or
$6,OO0,000 a year and start at least
1000 agricultural schools in the
United States at $4,000 a year each,
in the shape Of model farms.
1t would require small amount of
land, all told, to place model farm
in every agricultural county IN the
United States.
There would be trained man to
each farm, say Of 80 acres; and a
general superintendent, thoroughly
trained agriculturist, to manage
three or four counties and visit the
different farms. All such farms might
be put under the general supervision
Of the agricultural college in that
state.
If any farmer was in doubt he
could visit it, see with his own eyes
and find out what he ought to have
done and what he could do the next
time.
To direct the minds Of the young
to work upon the land as an honor
able and desirable career, and to
prepare them for work when they
return there by suitable instruction,
is to promote good citizenship and
national security.
The farmer must cultivate no more
land than he can till thoroughly.
With less labor he gets more results.
Official statistics show that the net
profit from one crop Of 20 bushels
of wheat to the acre: is as great as
that from two crops of Is bushels to
the acre.
There must be rotation of crops.
Ten years Of single cropping will
pretty nearly wear out any but the
richest soil.
There must be soil renovation by
fertiiizing, and the best fertilizer is
manure.
Every farmer can and should keep
some cattle, sheep and hogs on his
place. The farmer cannot prosper
until stock raising becomes insepa-
rate from agriculture.
j If waste can be stopped, it would
save more money. for the. farmer
than the railroads could if they car
ried all his grain: to market free Of
charge. -. -. "a. 49, j.. r.. .. ~'.'
Hills Warning to Farmers.
We have begun to realize only re-
Gently that farming is to a great ex-
tent an exact science. The man no
longer deserves the name Of farmer
who conceives of his industry as a
scratching of the earth, a hit-o'-miss
scattering of seed and harvesting
Of such yield as soil and weather may
permit. x
That's not farming, but a game of
chance. -. ..=.. =

Frankly, when we installed our
linotype and put in so much addi-
tional machinery, as well as erecting
q fine building for our newspaper Of
tice, we were a little afraid that we
were OVERRIDING the thing-in other
words, putting in a plant which the
town would not support. But we
are glad to say that so far we have
nothing to complain Of. Last fall and
winter we were kept very busy, often
having to run our machine day and
night. During the summer We have
kept busy all the time, and while
printing Offices in other towns in the
State were complaining of poor busi-
ness, The Herald force was kept busy
all the time, in fact we had to put
on another man during the summer.
Our business for 1909 bids fair to
more than double that of 1908, and
we want to say that we are grateful
to all who have given US their work.
We are prepared to take care OF
everything that comes our way, and
we want all the business we can
get. Send US your orders. We will
treat you right.

The Master. is Here.

If my Lord should come at noon
day,
The time of the dust and heat,
When the glare is white, and the air
is still,
And the hoof-beats sound in the
street
If my dear Lord came at MONDAY,
And smiled in my tired eyes,
Would it not be sweet His look to
meet?
Would He take me by surprise?
If my Lord came hither at evening,
In the fragrant dew and dusk,
When the world drops off its mamie
Of daylight like husk,
And flowers in wonderful beauty,
And we fold our hands and rest,
Would His touch of my hands, His
low command,
Bring me unhopedfor zest?
Why do I and question?
He is ever coming to me,
Morning and noon and evening,
II I have but eyes to see.
And the daily loads grow lighter,
And daily cares grow sweet;
For the Master is near, the Master is
here.
I have only to sit at His feet.

There is great demand for dwell
ing houses in Bamberg. We know
Of several parties who want houses
right now, and cannot get them.
Other people want to move here to
educate their children, or to go into
various lines of work, and yet they
cannot get houses to live in. There
10 not a vacant dwelling in town,
and whenever a house does become
vacant, there is great scramble to
get it. Those men who have their
interests in Bamberg and whose fu-
ture is 80 closely connected with the
growth of the city, should think Sc
riously about present conditions. If
private parties will not erect houses
for rent, let us organize land and
Improvement company which will
buy property and improve it, and
erect houses for rent or to be. sold
on easy terms. If the town is to
grow, we must have more houses to
rent.

The Meddlesome Law.

A little man skunk out Of house
on the avenue, glanced up appre-
hensively at it's front windows, then
darted down the street. Before he
had traversed twenty steps, however,
a huge policeman.
LET me go officer!" he pleaded, as
the grim custodian of the law held
him fast.
"Not much. I won't. What're
you acting so suspiciously around
here for, eh?"
II live in that house there" was
the discounted mans explanation.
Don't hold; let me 60, I say!"
ooh, you live there, do you? Come
that's too thin. You just walk back
to that house with me and prove
it,"
But my wife is getting ready to
spend the day out; you'll get me in
a fix, oficer!"
That's what I'm paid for-Step
lively, now, and we'll see what your
game isl"
So back they went, the officer
tightly clutching his protesting
charge. When the front door Of the
house in point was reached an up
per window flew up and a woman's
head popped out.
"Oh, was he trying to sneak of,
Mister Policeman" she sweetly
asked.
"He was, ma'am. He says he lives
here?"
"He does, officer, thank you, he's
my husband"
The policeman stared.
"But bring him in,'' she contin-
ued. 81 want him to button the
back Of my dress before he goes
down to his Office"

DONALD'S DOCTOR ARRESTED.
J. ". Crawford Accused Of Practic.
ing Medicine Without a License.

Abbeville, Aug. 3d.. W. Craw-
ford, Of Donald's, who has been
styling himself a physician and sur
geon and practicing medicine at Don
AIDS, and also running large hos
pital, was arrested today by Consta-
BILE c. J. Bruce, of Magistrate Hol-
lingsworth's court, on warrant
sworn out by DR.. c. G.. Gambrell,
acting for the State board of med
ical examiners, charging him with
practicing medicine without IL
cense. Upon arrival in Abbeville
he found himself in further trouble.
An action had been brought by the
State, ex-relatione, ]. Fraser Lyon,
attorney general, against him for the
purpose of enjoining him from prac-
ticing medicine further in this State.
VIM. P. Greene, Esq, represented
the State in the case, and late this
afternoon secured from Judge Klugh,
an order requiring Crawford to show
cause on Saturday at 10 o'clock why
he should not be enjoined from the
further practice of medicine In this
State, and in the meantime, restrain
ing him from 80 practicing.
The petition for injunction sets up
the acts Of the legislature relating
to the granting of license by the
State board and alleges. that for sew
eral months Crawford has been prac-
ticing in violation of the law, that
he has been repeatedly warned to
deisist, but that in defiance OF the
law, he continues to practice. The
case is based on the principles an
nounced by the supreme court in the
dispensary injunction cases, and the
case of the State VS. Columbia Water
Power company, in which the defend
ant was entoined from building a
bridge interfering with the free navi-
cation of the canal.

What is News?

In pronouncing sentence on pris-
oner, a Judge in North Carolina re-
Gently injected censure of the news
papers for the wide publicity given
ordinary crimes and for their empha-
sizing murder more than religion.
This censure calls up the whole
question of what constitutes news.
Is it anything that happens in the
whole range of human experience
from the basest to the noblest? Is it
anything that happens or only such
things as contain an element Of in
terest to more or less people? This
in turn brings US to a consideration
of whether the mere fact of human,
or a limited human, interest in a
fact or event or incident really gives
it that quality which constitutes it
news.
Oh, we know the answer that,
being men, nothing human is fore
ign, or should be foreign, to us. We
also know that the devil is said
to quote Scripture to secure his own
ends. Hence the quoting of really
noble sentiment does not justify its
ignoble application. There are Ian
guages, like the Chinese say, wherein
the same symbol represents at once
the highest and basest ideas accord
ing to the placing of accent or pitch
of voice. Does this fact justify the
baser use.
In reality what constitutes news
turns on the chief end of newspa-
pers themselves. Do they exist chiefly
as investments to make money or
should they be primarily run for SER
vice? Should they make their chief
end the education and uplift Of the
reading public by keeping them in
touch with world life and human
progress? Do they exist for the
stimulation to worthy and constant
activity by telling Of the activities
of others, for keeping full and fresh
and tender the springs of human
kindness and sympathy by telling of
those experiences of their fellows
that move the mind, heart, and will
to action without leaving stain or
sting or demoralizing suggestion be-
hind.
But" says the newspaper man,
eve are not in this business for
our health. We print papers to sell
and we must supply the public with
what they want" By this position,
a newspaper man surrenders his po-
tential position Of educational and
moral leadership for one Of slavery
to human prejudice, passion, and lit
tleness. He confesses to community
of purpose with the man who caters
to the morbid, the debasing, the de-
praved tastes of the people in order
to make money.
No, that is not news nor the mis-
sion of the true paper, which de-
tails the scandal that brings evil sug-
gestion to some and to others the
shame that wounds the heart and
taps the living springs ofAself-re-
spect. That is neither news nor cur
rent history nor matters Of human
interest or entertainment that ex-
poses to human eye or brings home
to human consciousness the muck
and the filth and the frailties of hu-
man kind. That is sometimes human
cruelty, it is always source of de-
praved tastes, of human contamina-
ton, and of moral infection.-South-
ern Christian Advocate.

died just before dawn this morning
in the city jail at this place, a few
hours after he was found apparently
demented, walking about the streets
of this place. Mr.. Walseman's wife
died recently and friends state that
grief because of her death affected
his mind. His aimless wanderings
caused his arrest by policeman, and
the true condition of Mr.. Walseman
was not known until he was found
dead in his cell. For many years
he had been visiting Florida in his

MEN KILLED BY CIGARET.
Workman Threw it in a Box of Fuses
and Fatal Explosion Followed.

Key West, Fla, Aug. 27.-As re-
suit of the explosion at noon today OF
loo pounds of dynamite at Bocaccha-
| ca, IL miles from Key West, on the
Florida East Coast railway, IL men
are dead, five others probably fatally
wounded and at least a dozen others
less seriously injured. The explo-
sion was caused by member OF the
railroad construction force careless!y
throwing a lighted cigaret into box
| of fuses.
Nine of the workmen met instant
death and a tenth died while being
brought to the hospital. The men
were hurled high into the air and the
bodies Of the dead were almost be-
yond recognition, arms and legs be-
| ing torn from the bodies OF some,
while the faces of others were mere
masses of flesh.
When the explosion occurred the
workmen were standing in water
four feet deep and directly beneath
them was the 700 pounds Of dyna-
mite, ready for the blast when the
men should stop work for dinner.
According to one of the wounded,
a workman-one Of the nine to meet
death instantly-threw lighted Gig
aret to one side, not noticing that 1t
fell into the box containing the fuses
which we're connected with the heavy
charges of explosives beneath them.
A few seconds and the men, water,
mud and tons Of dirt were thrown 70
to 90 feet in the air.
Tugs at once brought the dead and
more seriously wounded to this city,
the latter being placed in the Louise
Maloney hospital.
Those less seriously injured were
placed on Stock Island, opposite Bo-
cacchaca and will be brought to Key
West later.
Key West, Fla, Aug. 27.-Most Of
the victims of the explosion arrived
here from New York last Sunday.
Late this afternoon six more of the
more seriously wounded were
brought to the hospital here. The
injuries are not considered fatal.
About so men were at work all
close together, when the box of fuses
were discovered ablaze and had it not
been for the sounding Of the alarm
by the dredge master it is doubtful
if a third of the men would have es-
capped with their lives.
There is some contention as to the
cause of the explosion.
The battleship South Carolina fin
ished her official trial runs of the
Delaware capes Friday and the con-
sensus of opinion of the experts is
that she is the fastest and most
economical in coal consumption of
any battleship in her class. On the
four hour endurance run the South
Carolina consumed one and four
tenths pounds per indicated horse
power. On each of the two 24-hour
runs the battleships consumed one
and fve-tenths pounds per horse
power.
