BRANDING Criminals In Enqiand.

Sran0iEES CslNniHslS IN England.
The branding Of criminals was
abolished in this country in ITS. Un.
IL then this punishment was inflicted
in open court, generally in the pres
ence of the Judge, generally in the
presence Of the judge. the necessary
implements-the iron brand. the chat
ing dish and the iron gripper for keep
ing the hand steady-being always IN
readiness. The usual brand was an
"R" applied to the left shoulder.
Child stealing, etc, however, were at
one time punished by branding the Of

COMING TO MANNING JUNE D.
The Clemson Winthrop Agricultural and Do
uestic Science Train.


Owing to circumstances oyer which
we had no control the date OF the
starting of our train has been some
what delayed and it is now planned
to get it under way about the 5th Of
June, and arrive at Manning June
22nd.
The people of this State should un
derstand that while this train is plan
ned and equipped by Winthrop and
Clemson colleges yet had it not been
for the hearty and liberal co-opera-
tion Of the railroads of this State its
operation would not have been pos
sible. The three great systems of the
State, the Southern, the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line
have from the very beginning met the
proposition in the most cordial and
liberal manner. Not only are they
furnishing the equipment in the
shape of cars for this train but they
are also moving that train entirely
free of charge. I think it but proper
that this fact should be known as an
evidence of the interest that these
roads are taking in the welfare of the
people Of the State.
Since the last notice of this train
was given to the public another car
has been added thereto by Winthrop
college. This car will be filled with an
exhibit OF Household conneniences
and should prove quite an attractive
and Of educational value. It has also
been found possible to add more
stock to the equipment of the Live
Stock Car so this feature will be es::
pecially complete.
The visit of this train should be of
particular interest to the boys of the
various corn clubs Of the State and
it is expected that they will turn out
in force, therefore, special work along
the line of corn Judging and cultiva-
tion will be given by Prof. Napier
and the train will also be accompan-
led by Prof. C. B. Hsdden who is now
in charge of the Boys Corn Club work
in this State, working under the joint
direction OF Clemson college and the
q. S. Farm Demonstration Work.
Miss Hyde, in charge of the Win
throp cars, will have a competent
corps of assistants and has outlined
an extremely interesting program for
ladies who visit the train.
It is hoped that everyone will real
ize that it will take the full day to
get the maximum of benefit from this
train and that they will make it a
point to reach it early. One day is all
the time that can be allowed at a sin.
gle point and we want to urge all
who can to be on hand promptly so
as to get the greatest benefit out OF
the train possible.

BRIDGES In Korea.

Some idea Of the delights Of travel
ing in Korea IS given by the following
description by a traveller Of the
bridges In that country: A first class
bridge In Korea is simply an assort-
ment Of planks nailed together. These
are scarce. 4 second class bridge IS
series Of isolated stones, from one to
another Of which the visitor may jump.
4 third class bridge, much the COM
monest variety, is invisible, its posi-
ton being indicated by couple OF
posts, one on each side Of the river.
They mean that you may safely wade
across, as the water VIII probably not
go much above your chest.
