Working for Canning Factory.

Secretary Marchant of the Cham

dressed to him by Mr.. Marchant re-
garding the establishment of Can

Mr.. Richards advises that Mr.. ]. F.

burg with J. B. Finsser Travelling
Emigration Agent of the same de-
partment. These gentlemen will in
vestigate the proposition and hold a
conference with the Chamber OF
Commerce directors looking to the
organization of canning factory
here.
Such factory is needed and wou!d
stimulate the growinf: of tomatoes
corn, asparagus, etc, more than any
thing else. We need to emphasize
the Importance Of the trucking ad'
vantages of this section of South Car
olina and a canning factory would
materially aid in such work.

Civilizations torch Is opening the
eyes of the world to a sense of mod
esty; it is inflaming desire for
those comforts which clothing af-
fords. This is certain: Henceforth
cotton is going to supply the pro-
dnct for making at least IS per cent
OF the clothing worn by man.
Who will supply the clothes?
Somebody will have to do it. VIII
it be the people and the favored soils
IF the south, or will 1t be Egypt,
II dia, Turkestan, Brazil or Areen-
tina?
It is sor this country to say. In
the great contest we have six-fold
advantages. We are the pioneers
We have the best climate, and soils
sufficient to grow 100,000,00o bales,
under present methods Of cultivation.
We can remain in the ascendency.
1t is a. question which should not
be overlooked by Southern congress
men. Let them insist on the gov
ernment taking the matter in charge
and cutting the way for our cotton
products into the farthermost cor
ners of the world. Let us cease to
dream about multiplying the earth
covering laws of supply and demand
which We haven't. Even our con
troll" is becoming doubtful. Down
in the state of San Paulo, Brazil, S5
ner cent. OF the worlds coffee is pro-
duced. Backed by its national gov
ernment, which in turn has the BACK
ing of several international banking
houses, they set aside the laws OF
supply and demand, by policy OF
retrenchment that not only regulates
nnoduction but casts into the sea all
over production. In two years lne
farm price of the product was dou-
bled. But what is the result!
The United States is planning to
break the combine by making 1t more
profitable for the coffee growers out
side of Brazil to supply our demands
This once accomplished the growers
of Brazil will be given setback BE-
side which all their present advan-
tages will be as naught.
The South and the United States
should take lessons from that pecul-
| lar situation.

WOUNDED BY WADE HAMPTON
Col. Crews Mistaken for Enemy,
Says Gen. Brooks.

Gen. U. r. Brooks, an authority
on Confederate history, Monday
made the statement that Col. T. B.
Crews, of Laurens, who died early
Sunday, was wounded in the war
once.
It was, stated Gen. Brooks, when
Gen. Hampton was sending cut two
scouting parties, one of which was
led by Col. T. B. Crews. The two
parties were looking for the Yam
kee, always expecting attacks. The
scouting parties were kept on the go
in Virginia. This was in 1868. The
instructions to COL Crews were that
if there was anything in the road
to charge. 1t so happened that one
Of the two Confederate scouting
parties took the wrong road. 1t
met the other party and the firing
commenced. Both sides having eX-
hausted their fire, the fight was at
closer range. Gen. Hampton reach
ed out with his sabre and cut man
in the head. 1t was Col. Crews he
cut. The parties recognized one an
other when Col Crews called out:
"Bh, it's Gen. Hampton and his
men," and then Gen. Hampton
said: "Tom, l would not have hurt
you for anything in the world" Two
horses were killed also. Gen.
Brooks stated today that was the on
ly time that Col. Crews was wounded
in the war and he was surprised that
the incident had been overlooked.
Another comrade Of Gen. Brooks,
who was asked also, said today that
this was the correct statement Of
the incident when Col. Crews was
wounded by a sabre cut.

HOLLY HILL SCHOOL.
Closing Exercises Held on Thursday
and Friday Evenings.

On Thursday and Friday evenings
the closing exercises OF the Holly
Hill iIigh School were held. This
event marked the close Of one of the
schools most successful sessions. On
both evenings the large auditorium
of the school building was filled to
overdowing.
Thursday evening the crowd was
addressed by Prof. 4. G. Rembert, OF
Wofford College. He delivered grace
fully a most earnest and practical
talk, a talk urging the parents to
provide their children with that home
culture without which the efforts of
the best teachers are largely futile.
After the Lecture Supt. Livingston
presented diplomas to the graduating
class. These were James Virgins,
Samuel Hutto, Marguerite Salters
and Louise Golphin. During the
evening the audience was entertain
ed by the school with several Choir
uses, also some good piano, violin,
and cornet music.
Friday evening was given over to
the recitations, drills, tableaux and
songs of the children, all of which
were enjoyed and did credit to both
teachers and pupils. Thanks must
be returned to Mrs. R. B. Gross, Mrs.
J. J. Stevenson, Mr.. Shealy and Mr..
J. A. Smith, for the excellent music
during this session.
The school has been ably conduct
ed by Prof. J. B: Koon, who has
accepted the position for another
year. Miss Hughey, the capable
High School teacher will also re-
turn. To fill the places made vacant
by the resignation of Miss Montgom-.
cry, and Mrs. Rhame, the trustees
have elected Miss Coleman and Miss
Nettie Dantzler.
Mrs. Gross has mad charge Of the
primary department for years, and
is considering the question Of retain
ing her position, she Is almost In
dispensable to the school as well as
the town and community at large.
The new term will open the first of
September.

CIemson's Agricultural Train.

The Agricultural Train of Clemson
College will be in Orangeburg on
June 21st. This train intended at
first to stop at some other point in
the county but as a result Of CORE
spondcnce on the part of Secretary
Marchant and Capt. Claffy of the
Farmers Union, the decision was
made to give Orangeburg the hene-
fit of a day and Holly Hill another
day, or two days for the county.
1t is hoped that every farmer in
this section who can possibly b.
present will take advantage of this
stop here and will be in attendance
upon the lectures and demonstrations
which will take place at that time
No more valuable object lesson could
be Eiven the farmers than this corps
of experts from Clemson give.

GLASS EYE BURSTS.
Goes OF Like Gun as Man Talked
With n Friend.

With a report like gun, Building
Inspector Frank r. MINERS glass
eye exploded as he sat chatting with
a friend in his office at Allentown,
Pa. Minner fell to the floor and
sank into unconsciousness.
A physician was called and Minner
was rushed to the hospital. where
he is in a serious condition. 1t Is
feared that particles Of the eye have
penetrated his brain. He had worn
the eye II years.
Local physicians say this is the
first accident of its kind In history.
They advance the theory that cellu-
loid was substituted for glass in the
eye and that the heat of the suns
rays, focused on 1t by a mirror un-
felt by Minner, caused it to explode.

SEND ONLY FLOWERS
BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECIDE
TIIIS TO BE BEST.
The Sending Of Costly Presents to
the Stage May Humiliate Some
Less Fortunate Ones.

The question Of sending presents,
other than flowers, to the stage for
the members of the graduating class,
and others who take part In the
commencement exercises, Is being
discussed at this time. The main OBJ
lection urged against this custom
which has prevailed here since the
beginning of our schools Is, that there
are always some children whose par
ents are strained to prepare their
children for graduation, and are un-
able financially to provide presents
costly or otherwise for these occa-
sions,
There is no objection to the CIV
ing of presents to our dear children
-as many and as costly as we can
afford-bu. the question is, should
they be sent in public to the stage,
and thus have home Of the children
receive many and costly presents,
while some, worthy though they be,
are less fortunate in their worldly
affairs, receive little or nothing? May
rot some worthy ones be humiliated
and discouraged, and some proud
spirit crushed? .s
In number Of instances our best
colleges have prohibited the sending
of gifts other than flowers, to the
stage on commencement occasions,
and it has been found much more
satisfactory. -.
This uatter has been considered
by our local boart Of trustees, and
the unanimous opinion Of the board
is that it would be better not to send
any presents but flowers to the stage.
All can secure flowers, and all have
an equal chance in this respect. If
we desire to give to our children
and young friends presents, costly or
otherwise, let US do so, but let them
be sent or given in a private way.
They will be none the less appreciat-
ed, and by so doing we may save
humillating some poor but worthy
child. We believe, too. that it would
also be well in some measure to sim
plify the dress on such occasions.
It Is our duty to make our chill
dren and loved ones just as happy
as possible whenever we can, but in
doing so let us be careful that We
dc not bring humiliation and sorrow
to some other ones, who are children
of other parents, AID who may be
just as worth, ambitious and deserv-
ing as our own, but who are not so
fortunate as our children.
