EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN.
Attention of Textile manufacturers
Called to Laws Requirements.

Important orders, relative to child
| issued, as follows:
In view OF the fact that the first
of June is rapidly approaching, when,
| under Section 6 of the laws Of the
State relating to child labor, permit
ting the summer employment of chill
dren under - years Of age, during
| the months of June, July and Au-
gust, the law becomes effective, the
Agricultural Department has been
| requested to inform the textile man
ufactufers Of the State, whether or
not certificates issued in the year
1909 for the summer employment of
children would hold good for their
| employment during the months of
June, July and August, 1910.
The law only permits the employ
ment Of such a child upon the .ur-
nishing of certificate that the CHILD
has attended school for not less
than four months during the current
school year." etc. This being so, It
is necessary in every case Of the en-
ployment OF child under this sum-
mer school exemption to file new
1910 certificate upon the forms fur
nished for the purpose by this de-
partmcnt. This certificate should be
given the same registered number
that was used on the certificate the
preceding year, in case the child was
| employed in 1903, and this depart
ment should be notified Of the filing
or the certificate upon our card form
No. 3, whcreupon permit for sum-
mer employment will be issued. Ger
tificateS for 1909 cannot be rocog-
niZed as covering any child's en-
ploymcnt under the summer eXemp-
ton clause, and the inspectors will
be instructed to treat cases Of such
children, If found in any mill, the
same as If no papers had been pre-
pared in their respective cases. In
the case of a child who has hereto
fore been employed under the sum-
mer exemption clause the usual reg
istcrcd number statement, together
with the certificate, must be prem ar
ed in the usual way, the duplicate
statement being sent to the deDart-
ment, and the filing OF certificate re-
ported Herewith on card form g.
All certificates should have the certi-
fled endorsement of the teacher Of
the child as to the four months
school during the year 1910.

The Conference at Columbia.
columbia State. }

The farmers conference at Glenn
son, bringing together the represen-
tatives OF the National Agricultural
Department who have accomplished
! results in South Carolina attracting
attention everywhere, the trustees of
Ders OF others engaged in the move
mcnt for farm betterment, is ono of
the most hopeful and significant
events in late years in South Caro-
lima. A better understanding and
concentration OF efforts by all the
agencies engaged in it should follow.
Dr. Seaman A. Knapp in his ad-
dress Monday night emphasized pre-
ciscly the truth pointed out by the
state a few days ago, when he said:
Iho next 80 years will determine
whether the land will be owned bv
the masses or by the large landlord"
That was the thought given express
sion by the State when. replying to
the "Landlcss Farmer Boy" It said
earn as much from % acres OF land
as he now earns from 25O acres.
Unless the young farmers shall be-
come masters Of huSbandry the
lands, in time, will pass out Of their
hands and we shall have country
or great estates. That is the imDOrt-
ant truth--tO save the land to the
man, to perDetuate its distribution,
to insure the ycoman farmer as
citizen of South Carolina-that Is
the great object Of the conference at
clemson and it IS one important and
big and urgent enough to seize and
hold the attention OF every patriotic
citizen and newspaper in South Car
o!ina and then to enroll them as
helpers in its achievement.

CLEMSON CONFERENCE SUCCESS
Interchange of Ideas OF Vast Interest
and of IneStimablc Value.
News and Courier

Speaking OF the agricultural con-
ference held at Clemson last week,
Commissioner Watson said:
II have been most deeply gratified
at the result Of the conference held
at Clemson College. | regard the
conference and the action taken
thercat as perhaps the longest and
most effective step taken for the rapid
and fullest development Of the agri-
cultural resources OF this State, as
we'll as FOR improvement OF future
educational efforts in many years.
For the past three years the
| agencies working for the uDbuilding
OF the agricultural industry o. South
Carolina have been getting the maxi
| mum results, in fact, results shown
by no other State perhaps in the I'm
| ion, but the work has recently de-
Veloped SO rapidly that the time has
| arrived when. although full co-ope-
ration, without overlapping and per-
| feet harmony was prevailing, it has
| become necessary for all Of he agcn-
cics operating in these fields to thor
| oughiy understand each what the
| other Is doing, and going forward in
their respective spheres with view
| to practical and lasting and substan-
tial results
I'm the conference yesterday there
| was not even the slightest sugges-
tion of petty jealousy, but the whole
atmosphere Of the meeting from first
to last breathed Of the spirit OF pro-
GreSS and the earnest desire on the
part OF every agency to make greater
ana more effective efforts than we
nave yet seen. Clemson College is al
ready doing a magnificent work and
has laid the foundation upon which
prescnt-day development has been
pased' Following this meeting the
college authorities intend to inaugu-
rate and vigorously prosecute from
now on new and needed lines Of WORK
that have heretofore not received At
tehtion from any source from the rea-
son that there have been 80 many
things demanding immediate and nm
divided attention.
DIR. Knapp, that distinguished
rather of agriculture expressed to
me returning from Clemson his ex-
treme qualification at the harmony OF
spirit and OF cooperation and co-0rdi-
nation prevailing, and indicated that
he and his forces would be found
henceforward in line, working as he
always works, for work and re-
suits are his watchwords, to make
South Carolina the object lesson State
IN the United States for real progress
IN intelligent and business-like agri-
cultural effort"

Hardly Enough for Il Joke.

"Wont YOU write up something in
the line OF a nice little story about
my bathing suite" chirped the sweet
summer girl, as she drew hearts in
the sand with her pretty pink toe.
The reporter scanned it as closely
as he dared, then looking ort to sea
said with great depth OF suppressed
emotion:

Miss, but to tell you the truth, there
isn't material enough in it for even
short story, and besides ! am work

HALEY COMET MAKES HISTORY
Great Events Have Accompanied Its
RcnppearnnccS-W Next?


With the reriodic appearances OF
Talley's comet. which visits this part
OF the universe every seventy-tive
years, have been cOnnected-at the
very least In point of time-some
OF the most spectacular OF the world S
recorded events.
The present phenomenal spell Of
weather has doubtless been attrib-
uted by thousands of persons to the
direct influence of this mysterious
wanderer.
Certainly the spcctacle Of snow on
the 25th OF April Is novel enough to
be startling.
From time immemorial the world
has assumed an attitude of supcrsti-
tious awe towards Halley's comet.
Men who have little or no ac-
quaintance with history have never
thcless imbibed certain vague and
indefinite notions in regard to this
strange tramp of the heavens, and
perhaps there are few country fire
sides which have not caught some
OF the traditions concerning 1t which
have filtered down from generation
to generation.
Included among the events which
in times past have waited upon the
| arrival Of this visitor are the follow
ing:

Rome. END Of the first Punic war.

DIR. KNAPP TO CLEMSON BOYS.
No Society Farmers Are Needed, but
Men Who Will Stick.

In his characteristic manner, Dr..
Seamon A. Knapp, known as the
grand old man of agriculture. the
head OF the United States department
OF farm demonstration work, and the
man who has done so mach good for
the advancement of agriculture in the
South, talked to the students OF
Clemson College one day last week
The audience was made up OF the
student body and score Of visitors,
and the address Of Dr. Knapp was
listened to with interest. 1t was IN
strnctive and sounded new note
to the farmers Of the South.
The address was simple, forceful
and full Of good advice. The key
note Of the address was that not only
the South, but the entire country
needs more leaders-men who are
fearless and know things and do
things on the farms.
I'VE need 100000 young mon
on the FARMS" said DR.. Knapp, land
these men must be leaders"
Farmers Need Leaders.
In his speech Dr.. Knapp impressed
upon the young men OF Clemson
who are training for the future Vat
the State needs moro intelligent cad
ers. These leaders Of thought are
n'cded mostly on the farms of South
Carolina, in his opinion, AMI re
next thirty years will determine whc.
tner the farrls will be owned by the
masses or the large landlords.
Then men who achieve something
and have plenty Of facts will be the
| leaders of the future. Achievement
and leadership must go hand in hand
said DR.. Knapp. The speaker in his
forcetul manner made an earnest plea
for the young men to remain on the
farms in their respective communities
and not seek greatness away from
their native heaths. He said that
meant the destroying Of the strength
of country.
DR.. Knapp is modest man and
the admission was gained from him
that although it has been his policy
to avoid publicity in his work that
the work in the South, and especiallv
South Carolina, has grown to such
proportions that it is impossible to
keep down publicity.
He is pleased with the work that
Ira w. Williams, and his more than
score Of agents have been doing in
this State. Dr. Knapp is worker
and always has been. He loves work
and told the Clemson men that they
would never accomplish anything by
shining in society.
lie told them also that they were
not being educated, but were receiv-
ing the certain parts that would help
in making their education complete
in the future provided they studied
very hard. He reviewed the work OF
the farm demonstration in the South
and the great strides that have been
made by the farmers Of the South.

ORANGE TREES.

Out on thd PEBBLES Coulee, in the
Second Ward of this parish, on the
place of Alexander & Young, is a
young orange grove which was started
five years ago. Three fifths of the
trees, however, were planted only
this last spring. All of them bear am.
pie testimony of the good attention
they have received throughout their
years.
The writer, through the kindness OF
his old friend, Mr.. Henry Snider, had
an opportunity on last Monday after
noon of visiting this young orchard,
which has been one of the pets of Mr.
Archie Young. The crop of fruit the
young trees bore this year has been Il
source of much satisfaction to their
owner. Notwithstanding the fact that
some of the fruit had been plucked
from all of the trees, and one or two
trees had been stripped. vet they, as a
whole. presented spectacle calculat-
ed to fill one with enthusiasm about
the possibilities of orange culture in
this part of the world, where the finest,
juiciest, and most deliciously favored
oranges known to the market may be
abundantly raised.
We believe this grove has reached
that point where it amply iustifies the
pride OF its owner and promises re-
munerative reward for his patience
and care. He proposes to still further
extend the limits of the grove and will
do his own budding.
