TIE QUESTION or ANNEXATION

Is Clemson College going to be an

constitutional requirements having
been met as regards the petition to
the Governor. the matter now stands
with commission to be appointed
by Governor Anscl. and with the
electors themselves in the territory
that would be affected by the change
If made.
The following bit OF information,
taken from the local news columns
OF the Columbia state, will be of in
tcrest TO our readers:

met, in the opinion OF Assistant At

son county. The petition is accom-

1t is shown that Of the voters i'm the
territory desiring annexation all vot-

exception OF three. Governor Auscl
VIII appoint commission to look
into the matter OF annexation and a

Then an election will very probably
be ordered to decide the question OF
annexation. There was n former pc.

We still hope that If the matter
goes TO an election for decision, the
voters of Clemson will see fit TO re-
main in Oconec. The county OF An
fdcrson may present some ADVANTAGES
over Oconee, and the territory to be
affected by the proposed change may
for the moment be benefited. Still
we doubt the wisdom of making the
change.
OcOnee county, from center to cir

the loss of Clemson from within our
borders would mean a serious blow
to the county as whole, and we

J. G. Darlington. one of the best
known and most prominent of the
lesser lights" in South Carolina
newspaperdom, Is dead. He passed
away on Christmas day In a Cincin-
natl hospital, death resulting from
typhoid fever. He WAS we'll known
in the local newspaper fields at Spar
tanburg and Greenville, and over the
State as a correspondent for the daily
press. Mr.. Darlington was native
Of LaurenS. The press Of this State
will be unanimous in feeling dis
tinct loss at his passing away. He
leaves wife and grown son and
daughter, for whom deep sympathy
Is felt.
Last Friday night some unknown
party or parties committed a bastard
ly act in our sister town of Westmin-
ster. when dynamite was exploded in
front OF the store of II. y. Carter.
Shattering the windows and doors OF
the building and cracking the front
wall. Mr.. Carter's loss by the eX-
plosion will probably exceed $3.50. 1t
was stated here yesterday that it was
thought some slight damage was done
to the Westminster Bank building,
but to what extent was not known. 1t
is to be hoped that the perpetrators
of this cowardly and fiendish act will
be caught Whether done through
thoughtleSSneSS or as an act of law
lessness, the guilty one deserves Sc
we're punishment. No community is
safe with a person at large with so
little sense as to commit such an act
in thoughtlessness; the penitentiary
is the place for any man mean enough
to do such a deed through spite or in
spirit OF recklessness.

Money Made I'm Live Stock i'm Gen.

w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes to the Canadian Government
agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
l have neighbors living there, and
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past twenty years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels
Of wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of
oats.
1t was the first week of May when
I got my tent pitched, but the farmers
crops, so only got fifteen acres broke
and seeded They advised me, as it
was late, not to put in much wheat, so
l put in five acres wheat and ten acres
oats, one-half acre potatoes and vegeta-
bles. All kinds of vegetables grow
well up there-Sweet corn, tomatoes,
onions, carrots, peas, beans, cabbage.
My wheat yielded about 20 bushels per
acre, for which 1 got &c cents, others
got 80 cents; oats threshed 30 bushels
per acre, for which 1 got 30 cents per
bushel. You see 1 was three weeks
late getting them in; still 1 was salts
fed.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high for
such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of horse that
can pillow, from $3.50 up. 1 raised sixty
chickens and five pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good marked for anything a
man raises, so 1 have every reason to
be thankful, besides at the end of three
years 1 get my patent for homestead.
l heard Of no homestead selling for less
than $1,000, so where under the sun
could an old man or young man do
better?

MUNICIPAL LACE MAKING.
Government of Austria Engaged in the
Business.

Business.
In order to relieve the poverty OF its
peasantry the government of Austria has
gone into the lace business ON a large
scale. AS far back as 1850 it took steps
to encourage lace making III the ruraa
districts. and now it has a system OF
instruction covering the whole country,
with offices for the sale of the laces IN
Vienna. London, Paris and New York.
The country has been divided into CIR.
cuits. with headquarters in the CHIEF
town of each circuit and from this cen
for teachers. who are also business
agents 60 through every village of the
circuit. These teachers instruct the
women and older girls, supply the ma
teriais and designs and buy and pay for
fine lace. And along with the instruction
in lace making goes hygiene and other
teaching which is said to have had a
marked effect upon the life of the peas
ants. When the regular teacher moves
bright pupil is left in charge to direct
the work and assist the less gifted work
ers. Supplementary to this system OF
travelling schools is a lace making course
in the parochial schools, where the chill
dren begin in their tender years to learn
the beautiful art of lace making. The
distribution of the work of the peasant
lace makers is in the hands of the I'm
perial Royal Austrian Lace industries.
Through it's foreign offices this organiza-
ton keeps a careful eye on the trend
of fashion. and thus the directors of the
lace schools are kept constantly in touch
with the market

stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. It has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacaments, infam-

Irregularities, periodic pains, backache,

Sheep Experiments.

An experiment which will be watch
ed with much interest by all New En-
gland, and which may be the means of
revolutionizing the present method of
farming here, is about to be tried by
the Maplecrest Stock and Poultry Farm
Association, Springfield, Mass.
The association is planning to bring
1000 sheep from the western part of
the country and put them on farms in
and around Middlefield and Beckett.
The sheep are merinos and will be
mated with dorset rams of local ex-
traction.
Some Of the reasons which prompted
the association to bring the sheep are
the decreasing ratio of the meat sup
ply and the constantly increasing pOpu-
lation of the country.
Scotch herders will be brought here
with the sheep and will be used in
stead Of dogs or fences to keep them
from straying, as it is claimed that
more care can be given by professional
herderS.

THE LARGEST BAROMETER.
LIQUID Column Stands Normally at
About Thirty-seven Feet.


A huge, oil barometer has been con-
structed in the city of Faenza, Italy, as
a monument to Its distinguished citizen,
Torricelli. the inventor of the barometer.
the tercentenary of whose birth is cele-
brated this year. The liquid column in
such a barometer stands. normally at
about 81 feet. and its fluctuations are
read in feet, where those of the ordinary
mercury barometer are in inches. This
is due. of course. to the fact that as oil
is much lighter than mercury it requires
a much higher column to balance the
pressure of the atmosphere.
1t was at first intended to use water
as the LIQUID, in which case the column
would have stood normally at about 81
feet; but this plan was abandoned, ow-
ing to the ease OF evaporation. Glycerin
was next tried, but the normal height
of the column was only u feet, and it
was desirable to have it much higher.
Olive oil was finally chosen and is quite
satisfactory.
The tube, which is of iron, except at
the top, where the height of the column
must be observed, is supported by a
monumental pillar of stone. This is
doubtless the largest barometer that ever
has been constructed, although it had
some famous rivals even during the life
time of Torricelli.
Pascal. a French philosopher. made
barometers of different liquids, including
one of mixed wine and water, in Paris.
Zophar Mills of New York set up a
glycerine barometer in his house in 1887
and several water barometers have been
built, of which the most notable was
probably that set up in the town of
St. jacques in Paris by NJ. Janbert in
1890
The olive oil barometer of Faenza will
continue to hold the record for size until
some one succeeds in using a still lighter
liquid, in which case the height of the
barometric column will, of course, be
greater-New York Herald.
