THEY SAW "FhrGHT OF LIFE, :"
Remarkable Result OF Experiment

The flight Of life" has been wit
made by Dr.. Haldricks O'Donnell, an
N-ray expert OF Chicago. who has
been following up experiments made
by Dr.. w. j. Kilner. Of London, Eng
land, who has written scientific
paper on the subject.
Some time ago, using a chemical
zed film sealed between two thin
strips Of glass, Dr.. O'Donncll gave a
demonstration to twenty students CT

bOdleS, four young women being
used as subjects. The aura" de-
veloped strong ray OF light sur

at Mercy Hospital" tried the exper-
imeht on dying man. He was rap
idly sinking. Suddenly the attend
ing physician announced that the
man was dead. The aura began to
spread from the body and presently
disappeared. Further observation
OF the corpse revealed no sign OF
the aura
I'VE do not claim that the light is
the soul or spirit In fact, no one
seems to know what it is. In my
opinion, however, 1t is some sort OF

The State Farmers Institute.

The State Farmers Institute.
The reports OF the last census have
shown that the State Of South Caro-
lima has been making wonderful pro-
greSs along agricultural lines in the
last ten years. This progress or
credit for this progress of course can
not be claimed by any one agency.
but it shows most plainly what can
be accomplished by united effort.
Clemson College is not behind in
this respect and has inaugurated one
of the most aggressive agricultural
ca mpaigns over the STATE this sum-
mer that has been conducted in a
long while. For the last month "A
clemson winthrop demonstration
train has filled engagements every
day in different sections Of the State
and will continue until the first week
In August. In addition to the work
OF this train Saturday, July 18th,
witnessed the opening of farmers
institute campaign. Points not
reached by the train will be thor
oughly covered by institute parties.
Four separate and distinct parties
Will be put into the field, covering
within the next three weeks some
llfty-four points at which Institutes
will be held. Then, as last year, it
is proposed to hold wind-uD insti-
tute at Clemson College, commencing
August Sth and continuing through
August 11th, inclusive.
An interesting program IS being
arran ged. most Of it to partake more
of the nature os demonstration work
than OF speaking, and d large and
enthusiastic crowd Of farmers is cx-
pected to be present Good speakers
have been secured from various sec
tions Of the South, and no one can
fail to reap a large benefit from at
tendance upon this institute Re-
duced railroad rates have been re-
quested and due notice of their
granting will be 81 zen in plenty Of
time for all to plan their expenses.
The cost while at the college will be
one dollar a day for meals. The use
of the beds will be given free, but
all who come are requested to bring
such bedding as they require, to-
gether with their own towels. The
college Is able to furnish beds for
about 500 people. In order that we
may have some idea Of how to pre-
pare for and also that those who
come may be assured that they will
receive bed, we are requesting all
to notify us In advance. Every man
who notifies us in advance, up to the
number of 500, will be furnished a
bed. Should more than that num-
ber come, which we do not think
over likely, especially II we are not
notified, they should not be dissatis-
fled If they are not so comfortable.
The program starts promptly at 2
o'clock on Tuesday, the Sth, and we
are particularly anxious that all who
can should come not later than that
| morning. The exercises will close in
time on Friday for those specially
| anxious to reach home to leave on
the noon trains. Come prepared to
spend the whole time with us and
enjoy the work D. n. Barrow,
