A Profitable Exhibit.

! The Clemson Winthrop educational
train arrived in Manning last Thursday
morning and it was visited by many
people from all sections OF the county.
| The boys corn CLUBS were also IN evil
dence and possibly manifested as much
Or more interest than their elders The
train consisted OF seven cars. which by
the way is contribution from the rail-
road companies 10 aid il the education
FL Developments CT the State. and it does
not cost the State or the college one
ceuf. carried q pair Of Perchtron mares
which 10 themselves were III iuteres ing
sight. and the lectures on these horses
were indeed of great value TO those who
come il daily contact with animals.
there were several tlne specimens OF
tiue hogs which also attracted consider
able attention. the cattle both ml!chers
as well as Deeyes afforded the visitors
much 10 think about in their every day
avocations.
The several kinds of destroying III
sects ard the talks oa them was much
appreciated by the farmer-sJudenS who
is endeayoring TO ward off what is gen
erallv believed will attack this country
sooner or later, the boil weevil. there
was a good display Of the insects and
vermin and the lecturers Of buSology
made it entertaining for hfs auditors.
The domestic science cars was the al
traction for the ladies and many OF the
men were Grawn.there also The ladies
having this department ln charge made
a splendid display of cooking utensils,
and the conveniences for up-to-date
Housekeeping. their demonstrations
we're good and educating. This depart
ment is ir charge OF Miss Carrie Hyde,
assisted by Misses Mary Benton ana
Bruce Hough, and we will say right
here that these excellent ladies are on
the Job, they not only give splendid
talks on cookoogy and economical! house
management but they demonstrated TO
the bachelor kind their value 10 take
charge of q home, not only this. these
ladies never lose an opportunity to boost
Winthrop, and the legislator who voted
against any appropriation for that col
leee had better steer clear OF their de-
partnent if he values his hide for they
sure can with pretty smiles upon their
faces make it warm for him.
The gentlemen OF the party are Prot
D. n. Barrow chief cf the extension
division: Prof. Archibold Smith, animal
industry: J. N. Burgess, assistant anl-
NAL industry; T. J. Jackson, represent
ing seed crushers; D. E. Burnett, Vetl-
erinary: and Napier. Professor OF ag-
riculture. All of these gentlemen lee
turs on their several dep rtments. Pro
lessor Burgess is Clarendon man.
There seems to be au impression out
that these colleges are taking an eXpen-
sive way TO advertise themselves, but
this is mistake, the railroads very gen.
erously rendered their rolling stock for
the use of the college 10 make this dom
onstration. and the actual expense IS
Slight, especially when the benefit is
taken into consideration: very few who
took advantage of the opportunity to
visit the exhibition but what will be
benefited. aud they will employ oa their
own farms and in their own homes many
of the lessons they had demonstrated 10
them.
This is the first attempt OF the COL
leges of this kind, it is experimental at
present, but from what we saw and the
expressions we heard we believe it will
grow in popularity until the demonstra-
tions OF this kind will be demanded oy
the taxpayers Of the State.
