HIRING $4,000 MODEL FARMERS.
This is Being Done in the South to
Improve the "POOr Whites"

In the South today there are $4,000
demonstration farms backed by the
government to show the ''poor whites
how to farm. AS soon as these farm
ers are shown that their land will
grow crops they are willing to try,
says the New Idea Woman's Magazine
for September.
When an individual can not be per-
suaded to farm as he is advised he
must be hired to do so. He himself
must grow a garden about his house,
raise chickens, feed some hogs, culti-
vate crop under instructions. He must
himself perform the. miracle.
The government selects one farmer
in a neghiborhood.
This one man becomes the demon
strator under the direction OF the de-
partment of agriculture. He has been
selected in the first place because of
suspected latent possibilities. After
the first year he follows instructions
eagerly and works ceaselessly. His
neighbors have seen its success and it
has impressed them deeply, for he is
in no way different from them.
This year his fence bears a placard
which announces that his is demon
stration farm Of the government. He
receives bulletins through the mail.
He has been selected from among
them all and feels proud of himself.
Under the circumstances he feels
that there should be no weeds in his
fence-corners, his horse should have
better harness, his house a coat of
whitewash.
With the ripening of the second crop
comes the local agent of the depart
ment. For farmers of the neighbor-
hood are called to meet at the demon
stration farm and are schooled in the
manner in which the remarkable crop
was grown. They are told in detail
just how to go and do likewise. They
buy seed from the demonstration farm,
and are advised by the local agent.
The following year half Of the farms
in the neighborhood are producing
these same increased crops, and usu-
ally in five years the whole community
is at it.

Timmonsville, S. c., where he throWed
out his anchor when he first come
down, has nominated himself for 1t.
Governor of South Carolina. Now the
Yorkville Enquirer might take that
cock-and-bull survey out that put old
Hickory in South Carolina by the skin
of his teeth, by running the line be-
tween his house and the martin-box,
leaving the lye-gum and the goose
nest in North Carolina. I don't believe
that survey was any good, and that
late Lancaster-ain't no good, either.
But We don't want A. Jackson, nohoW,
We don't need him. Ny grandpa know
ed Jackson and said he was a North
Carolinian." After reading this our
two contemporaries here mentioned
should feel heartily ashamed of them
selves. We hope that the Enquirer at
any rate, will have the grace to come
in and submit.

The Idler
Compulsory English in China.

An official order has just been is
sued in China making the study OF
English compulsory in the technical
schools, says the London Globe. Severe
as this blow must be to the Esperan-
lists and their Volapuk friends-if the
latter still survive-it is a consider
able step forward on the new road that
China is now taking; and its results
can not be predicted. If the Chinese
merely learn English as a utilitarlan
language, it may help their trade con-
siderably, but it will scarcely affect
their conception of life. But the Chi
nese are literary nation; and it is
highly improbable that when once the
door to English literature is unlocked
they will refrain from reading Eng
lish philosophy. And the effect OF
teaching the views of John Stuart Mill
and Herbert Spencer, to say nothing
OF the theories OF our living ScleuIluc
men, may prove extraordinary. 1t was
very largely the doctrines Of John
Locke that produced the French phil
osophy which led to the French revo-
luton. A considerable amount OF the
present unrest in India may be traced
to the results of the fermentation of
novel western doctrines in the eastern
mind, through the same medium OF
Ell glish literature; another so years
for changes of this kind seldom
touch the generation that adopts them
may see even more extraordinary
results in China.

PARK.
I am really delighted to see the in
creased interested I have brought
about in the matter Of lawns. Of
course I didn't do the work with my
physical body, but I just kept telling
how pretty it would be if some of them
were given little attention until now
there are some very pretty lawns in
the city. Look at Central Methodist,
for instance Why, Jno. Mayes just
keeps that beautifully. And they tell
me that the First Baptist law is be-
ing put in good shape and that they
are not going to farm on it any more.
I am going around that way some of
these days when the weather gets
cooler and look at it for myself. And
I will 'twrite it up" And then you
know it was said about year ago
that the Lutheran lawn had been
transformed into an onion farm, but
that now the lawn was pretty and
green and neatly kept In fact I was
at this church recently and it is
greatly improved. Now I want to see
the several school properties keep up
pretty lawns. They are educators.

told how the boys and girls of the

an intimate study of Mrs. E. H. Har-

On account of the heavy rains in

State in 1908 was 100000. The vote
for Clarendon county is not given in

The Idler's park is coming. Mr..
Burton sent me word by the editor the
other day that he was going to do
something pretty soon. There can't be
much accomplished until the options on
some of the creek bottoms have been
obtained. It seems to me that the peo-
pie who own these bottoms would
be patriotic enough to donate what is
needed to make the park so as to en-
hance the value of their adjacent
property. That motive would be a
selfish patriotism and yet it would
accomplish what 7 want. Let every
body join hands and build park. We
are big enough now not to be Jealous
and envious and to be able to do a
little something for the general well
fare. Fact is the town is big enough
for every one to attend to his own
business and not try to- run the af-
fairs of others and that being true
we can get together and build the
park.

The mutinous sailors, after seizing

Not much damage was done.
The mutineers offered to surrender

The mutiny started on board the
two battleships, the largest vessels

They turned their guns upon the

shells into the city. During the out
break several officers were killed.
The fighting ceased at night. but the
revolters remained in possession of

London Especially The last state
ment of DR.. Crippen. who was hang
ed on November %, at Pentonville
Prison, was published In a Sunday
paper in the form of two final letters
written to Ethel LIE Neve, one OF
which is dated November %. The
letters were not reproduced in their
entirety. it being explained that they
contained certain personal con.
fidences, but nothing in the nature OF
q confession.
Crippen throughout declared HE
innocence to Miss LIE Neve and hoped
that his innocence one day would be
revealed.
The letters, which were printed as
one, begin with protestations of pas
sionate love for the girl, and repeat
constantly the phrase: "God help
up to be brave in the face of the end,
now SO near"
Crippen continues:
How can endure to take a last
look at your dear face? What
agony must ! go through at last
when you disappear forever from my
eyes! am comforted in thinking
that throughout years of friendship
never have passed one unkind word
or given one reproachful look to her
whom / loved best here in life, to
whom have given myself heart and
soul, wholly, entirely forever"
Crippen asks that Miss LIE Neve
have his body cremated and If pos
sible to obtain the ashes and dis
pose of them as she deem best. He
complains that his statement publish.
ed on November 20 omitted his critic
isms of the crowns evidence with
reference to the scar ana the absence
of the navel, which he considered
most important, and proceeds ex-
haustively to analyze the evidence on
these points. He asks that Miss La
Neve go to no further expense in try
ing to secure further evidence, adj
ding:
"I can safely leave further evil
dence to just Cod
He expresses the hope that Miss
LIE Neve will go to mrs. H." where
she will be free from the lying tales
of the newspapermen, and concludes:
Tomorrow I will be In Gods
hands. I have perfect faith that He
will leave my spirit be with you al
ways
The paper printed fac-simile OF
