Dispatches of the last few days from
the south have been bringing news of
unusually ominous storm conditions,
and the advice last night was that
practically all communication had been
cut off from south Florida points, even
the wireless being out of commission.
The latest information from Tampa
was to the effect that gale was blow
ing at the rate of fifty miles an hour,
that store signs had been swept away
and that many houses had been un-
rooted. It was thought that untold
damage was being done in the orange
groves, and there were great fears for
the shipping. The weather bureau,
however, had been sending out warn
ings during four days previous, and
this was calculated to put most of the
shipping on guard. Information from
Havana is To the effect that there has
been some loss of life and great de-
struction to property in that city.
There is much suspense all along the
Gulf and Atlantic coasts as to the di-
rection the fury of the storm will
probably take.

During the trial of a case at Aiken
last Friday one of the jurors went to

drunk, Judge Memminger, who was
presiding had him removed from the
panel and got the attorneys to agree
to go on with the case with only eleven
men. Next morning the juror, A. n.
Willing, was summoned before the
court to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt Judge Mem
minger first asked the man as to
whether he had family and on his re-
plying in the affirmative, gave him
severe lecture on the disgracefulness OF
his conduct, and then went on to say
that he would not impose a fine, be-
cause it would probably occasion SUI

ever, that the man receive no pay for
his attendance during the week and
that he be debarred from the privilege
of sitting on juries in the future.

High priced cotton seems to be a

rule for the remainder of this crop

change. we do not consider il ncccs-

1t has been given out that James F.
Farnum, the beer king, who so accom-
modatingly plead guilty and paid that
$4,000 fine some time ago, has been cited
to appear before a meeting Of the dis
pensary winding-up commission to be
held in about two weeks, for the pur-
pose of giving testimony as to the
manner in which the Richland Dis
tilling company did business with the
state. There is no reason to doubt
that James can tell a great deal about
the Richland Distilling company if he
wants to-probably enough to ensure
the recovery of the S1,0OO,OOO or more
that the commission believes this COM
pany has stolen from the state: but
will he? is the question. The members
have attended several meetings of the
commission in anticipation of very i'm
portant business only to find that there
was nothing for them to do except lis
ten to the opportunities of counsel for
the setting aside of commissions on
funds already collected and paid over
to the state treasurer. To some of the
members this kind of business is lit
tie tiresome, if not actually disgusting,
and they are not so keen to attend the
meetings as they would be if they eX-
pected really important developments.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The following on the subject Of in
dustrial education, from the pen of
Prof c. b. Haddon. rural school
agriculturalist of Clemson college,
has been sent out to the press as Arti-
Gle XXI of Clemson extension work.
''RealiZing the need of industrial
education. the state board placed the
subject of agriculture in the public
school curriculum. The good to be
derived from this step cannot, at this
early date be estimated. The aver
age child, when it enters school,
knows more about agriculture than
any other profession. and most Of
them go back to this calling when
they have finished the public school
course and the sad part is. they go
back little better fitted to carry on
their work than when they entered
school. They have their minds fill
ed with facts about almost every con-
ceivable subject except the important
one. the one by which they are to de-
rive a living.
THE interest in the teaching of
agriculture is but Il part of much
larger question, the movement for
teaching by means Of things that
have come within the Students eX-
perience. and for teaching something
that will be of some material use to
the student when school days are
over. Unless our education is Of some
practical use. time is i'll spent in OBJ
tanning it,
when the subject was placed in
the public school course, very few of
the teachers were prepared to teach
it since their training had not in
cluded it, Realizing the state of af-
fairs. the trustees of Clemson college
hn nf
Agriculturist. The work of this posi-
tion is to assist the teacher in any
way possible in presenting the sub
ject of agriculture To the pupil. This
is done by cooperating with the
teacher. visiting the school ut regular
intervals. and giving help by sugges-
tiOnS or any other way by which the
subject may be presented to the pu-
pill in a helpful manner. The plan at
present is To select a few schools IN
different sections of the state. and
visit each of these once a month.
staying Il day or two days If necessary
and work with both teacher and pu-
pills. 1t will not be possible for one
man to work with all the schools of
the state. but by working with as
many as possible in different sections.
others may profit by the work of
those visited Sincc the principal
thing i'm teaching is to keep the pupil
interested (fOr If we can keep the in
tcrcSt up. the process Of obtaining
the knowledge will follow naturally).
the visits to the schools will be to
work with the pupils as we'll as the
teacher. This work with the pupil
will be of different nature as circum-
stances differ. With some. clubs of
an agricultural nature will h" organ
lied and prizes awarded. With 9th
crs contests of different nature Will
be given, as for instance, corn judg-
ing contests. With still others, read
ing course, will be given. and essays
written by the pupils on agricultural
subjects.

last portion of the time allowed by
law for collecting of taxes shall be
and remain at the county seat
This act was included i'm the gen
eral statutes Of 1882. as section 263.
and i'm the revised statutes as section
322. Under that statute it was made
the duty of the county treasurer to
make such appointments and to col
lect taxes at various points in the
county. While that was the law.
County Treasurer Cope of Orange
burg was assassinated while keeping
such appointments. the object of the
assassination being robbery. There
upon the legislature i'm December,
1894 passed an act repeating this
section of the general statutes of 1882
and revised statutes 1898, and there
was then no authority for the county
treasurer to collect taxes outside Of
his office. In order to allow them to
so make collections. the legislature
In 1896 passed an act which was there
after codiiied as section 397 of the
code of laws 1902, which was amend
ed in 1905, which provides:
The county treaSurers of the re-
spective counties may attend at GER
tain safe and convenient places for
the purpose of collecting taxes. They
shall give 20 days public notice Of the
days when they will be at the places
designated. Provided, That the pro-
visions of this section shall not apply
to the counties of Chester, Georgetown,
Sumter, Spartanburg and York.
Under this last act it is made op
tional with the county treasurer Of all
the counties, except Chester, George
town, Sumter, Spartanburg and York,
whether or not they will attend at
safe and convenient places, other
than the court house in their county,
for the purpose of collecting taxes.
This being optional with the county
treasurer. it is a matter entirely with
in his discretion whether or not he
will exercise the right Of collecting at
points other than the county seat. In
the counties of Chester, Georgetown,
Sumter Spartanburg and York, the
act does not extend this option to the
county treasurer in collecting taxes.
Under the facts as stated by you,
showing that it Is unsafe and involves
some risk to make these collections
away from the court house, and would
subserve no public interests, l think
you would be justified in abandoning
this practice"
