condition almost from one end to the
other, and We do not think there mas
been a days work on it in the last II
months. We do not know whether the
oyerseer is playing Rip Van Wlnhle
or not, but if he is, hope he will soon
awake out of his long snooze and give
this road some attention as it is one
of the most important roads to New
berry from here and certainly the SAT-
est one to travel over because If you
try to go by Prosperity, you are liable
to be killed by trains or automoblles
or your horse may run away by being
frightened by them.
Mr.. Editor, We see where you were
right in wanting the road bed chang
ed between Newberry and Prosperity
so as to cut out so many grade cross
ings on that road.
Mr.. Supervisor, we believe if you
would look around pretty close down
here in lower No. 9 you could find
some roads that have not had a days
work On them since you have held the
honorable Office as county supervisor.
We guess you have been very busy for
some time with the county chalngang
building good roads for the automo-
biles to run over and have really not
had time to look after the clodhopper>s
roads down in No. 9. We also have
road inspector down here in No. 9, but
maybe he is sick and can not look
after his job.
Their has been a large amount OF
grain sown this season and we guess
the farmer is getting tired of raising
8 cent cotton and we see where ne IS
right. 1t would be the best thing that
ever happened for the country If cot
ton would go down to 5 cents, and stay
there for the next 20 years.

interesting to the convention it was
not marked by acrimonious feeling and
finally the issue was settled to the sat-
faction of both sidas
In brife, the differlce arose over a
resolution from the committee on the
isfaction of both sides.
In brief, the difference arose over a
report of the G. F. c., in which this
committee recommended the granting
of the request of the trustees of the
G. F. C. for permission to prosecute
campaign during the next year to raise
a fund of 100000 for that college. An
derson college friends had also come
with a resolution asking permission to
start campaign for funds for that
college in the Saluda Baptist associa-
ton and elsewhere in the State if it
should be deemed wise by the trustees.
The resolution was presented by DR..
Howard l.. Jones, of Charleston,
member of the board of trustees of
Anderson college. DR.. Ramsay, the
president of the G.. F. c., stated that
he hated to oppose the proposed reso-
luton but he wanted the claims Of C.
F. C. TO be presented fully and sug-
gested that the other be deferred. Up
On vote it was deferred. The vote was
50 to 40.
After considerable discussion and
lengthy statement by DR.. Ramsay as
to the plans OF the college and the rep
resentations made to him when he
accepted, namely that the matter be
referred to the education commission
with power to act, and the commission
will pass upon the matter at once,
limiting the time for the campaign or
the field of operations or both as it
sees fit.
The convention went on record last
night very emphatically as to horse
racing. The following resolutions, in
troduced by DR.. Howard Lee Jones, of
the Citadel Square church of Charles
ton, were unanimously passed:
"Whereas, horse racing, with all of
it's accompanying evils, isl now being
conducted in Columbia and race
track is in process of construction in
Charleston, which it is proposed shall
be operated on even a larger scale.
"Resolved, That we register our un-
compromising opposition to the at
tempt to establish race track gambling
in South Carolina and call upon the
State legislature to pass such laws at
its next session as shall be necessary
to prevent this discredited and out
laved gambling institution from being
operated in the bounds of our COM
monWealth.
"Be it further resolved, That the
president Of this convention shall ap-
point. commission of 25 of which he
himself shall be the chairman to ap-
pear before the legislature to urge our

Is months had elapsed. and then
she went to Australia. Sailing from
there she again met with bad weather.

work, work! Also by his failure to
allow them any share in the proceeds
of their toll, beyond plain fare and a
strictly limited amount of clothing.
Numerous instances are given where
the wealthy or wellto-do owner of a
farm of 100 to 500 acres, while abund-
antly able to hire help, has required
his young sons and daughters to do
practically all the work of the farm
except that done by himself. The boy
or girl of thirteen to eighteen years
is required to turn out" winter or
summer, at 4:30 in the morning. to
feed and care for stock; milk the cows
and clean out the barn, before break
fast; and after breakfast to perform q
full days work in field or barn; fol-

of compulsory school law. Opper-
tunities for amusement and social in
tercourse are cut to minimum, and
life is shorn of almost every cheerful
aspect for the unfortunate offspring of
the grinding father.
In not a few cases, the sole object
of the man in thus overworking and
dwarfing the lives of his children is
the saving of money with which to
buy additional acres of land. For
more land" he is willing to sacrifice
everything that makes existence worth
while to his family. Yet, did he only
know it, by spending the money in
tightening their toll, frightening their
home, and in experimenting the oppor-
tunities of the district school, with
course at the School of Agriculture,
he would be enabled to ere long, by
their more intelligent and willing aid,
to win a larger annual income from

ROYAL Poets of Great Britain.

By far the most famous and the
best of British royal poets was James
l. of Scotland. While prisoner in
Windsor Castle he composed his al
legory, "The Kings Quhair" 1t owed
it's origin to James love for the Lady
Jane Beaufort, beautiful young lady
nearly allied to the royal family, and
of whom he became enamored by see
ing her from the window of his room
as she walked in the garden. She
afterward became his queen. Queen
Elizabeth wrote poems in prison. The
unfortunate Lady Jane Grey and her
equally unfortunate cousin, Mary
Queen of Scots, both solaced their
hours of captivity, destined to end on
the scaffold, by learned studies.

Queer Laws In Switzerland.

There are in force in Switzerland
certain laws which. in the hands OF
the INSCRIPTIONS, may work great
havoc with personal rights and liber,
ties. This is point concerning which
there can be no dispute. For instance,
in most .cantons men and women may
be punished not only for what they
have actually done in the past, bat
also for what may possibly result in
the future from what they have done.
Suppose a man is spending week by
week all that he earns. Then the local
authorities, acting in conjunction with
the police, may send him to penal
workhouse, on the pretext that his
conduct is such that he may later be-
come destitute, and, therefore. a bur
den on the community.

Care of the Brood
Sow and Litter.
BY w. n. Tomhave, Minnesota
University Farm.

!. i. j. !. + 1. j. !. !. !. J. !. !. !. = \ =
The care of the brood SOW, previous
to and at narrowing time, cannot be
given too careful attention If We ex-
pect to get the best results. The feed
which is given her several months
previous 80 narrowing will have much
to do with the condition of the pigs
that are narrowed.
The ration to be fed at that time
should be made up largely of feeds
that are rich in protein, and which
make good muscle and BODYBUILDING
material; also feed bulky foods, such
as roots, clover hay, and plenty of
slops. The SOW should also have plen-
ty of exercise: for this will do much
toward keeping her in vigorous and
thrifty condition. Brood sows very
often have tendency to become lazy,
and will exercise very little unless
forced to do so. When such is the
case, they should be fed some distance
away from their sleeping quarters, so
as to be forced to take exercise.
Care must be taken that the brood
sows are not fed too much and be-
come too fat, as such sows never pro-
duce a strong. healthy litter of pigs.
Two or three days before narrowing,
it is we'll to reduce the amount Of feed,
as at this time the feed fed will be-
converted. into milk and there may
be danger OF caked udder and milk
fever.
b Prepare a dry bed, made up. of
clean oat-straw or shredded corn
slower, in some dry place, in which to
keep the SOW during narrowing time
Barley straw, dirty or musty bedding
of any kind should be avoided, be-
cause it is likely to make the small
pigs cough, and cause pneumonia.
Do not feed the SOW at all at far
rowing time, nor for twsnty-four or
thirty-six hours afterwards. Give her
only lukewarm water, with possibly a
very small amount of meal Of some
kind in it The SOW does not care for
feed at this time; and, besides, Cutting
off the feed will do much to keep back
the flow of milk and prevent milk
fever. After two or three days, grad
ually put the SOW back on full feed,
and there will be little or NO danger
from further trouble with milk fever
or caked udder..
The young pigs should be taught to
eat as soon as possible. They should
be provided with place in which the
brood sow cannot get at their feed,
and given a small amount Of sweet
milk and little ground oats, with
bulls removed, or shorts in it. It is
surprising how soon small pigs will
begin to eat, and how much better
progress they make than where they
are given no opportunity to get lit
the mottar.
This method of getting the small
pigs to ca. early will not check or re
tard their growth at weaving time

when they are from six to ten weeks
old. Do not take the litter away from
the sow ut once, so that the old SOW
and the hitter will fret about the sepa'
ration, bat reduce the amount of feed
fed the SOW. This will check her flow
of milk; and by literally feeding the
litter the weaving process can be
finished in a few days without injur'
ing either litter or sow.
