Wants Cotton Tare Reduced.

"A resolution asking President Taft,
his Cabinet and the United States
department of agriculture to take
steps to reduce the six per cent "tare"
on cotton baled for the market, was
introduced in the Georgia House Of
Representatives Thursday by Repre-
sentatives Kimhrough and johnson.
The six per cent "tare" represents
the weight of box, bagging canvass,
which is deducted from the gross
weight. 1t is pointed out that since
the six per cent. rule was adopted
the weight Of American cotton bales
has increased and the weight of can
vas, etc., has decreased. AS a re-
suit, farmers declare, the South loses
several million dollars each year. The
Farmers Union should look after this
matter too.

ORANGEBURG COLLEGE.
Preparations Being Made for the Best
Year in its History.

The annual advertisement Of the
Orangeburg College appears in this
issue of our paper. This school has
had a most remarkable growth IN
the past seven years since President
W. S. Peterson has been at the head
Of it. Every room was taken last
year, and the prospects for next ses-
sion are brighter than ever before.
The College draws its patronage from
every section OF the State, and from
other States. The faculty for the
coming year is the best that the
school has ever had, being composed
of sixteen College and University
trained teachers. A number Of the
professors are on the road canvass
ing for the cshool this summer, and
it is expected that the boarding pat
ronage will run up to at least 800
students the coming session. Prof.
Peterson gives his students board at
actual cost and this has reduced the
expenses to- the lowest cost. He gives
the boarding department his own
personal supervision, and having
given the subject of dietary many
years Of careful study, knows how to
furnish most excellent fare.
The music department Of the
school the coming session will be es-
pecially strong. Prof. Thomas L..
Tinsley, the Director of Music, is a
Georgian by birth, Is graduate of
the Atlanta Conservatory Of Music,
and has also had training in the
North. He Is a great concert pianist,
and will prove valuable acquisition
to the school. Mrs. Della Gilbert,
who will have charge of the Vocal
department, is a graduate Of the
Grand Prarie Conservatory Of Music
of Illinois, and also Of the New Eng
land Conservatory Of Boston. Mrs.
Gilbert has had many years of sue
cessful experience both on the Con-
cert stage, and as teacher. She
comes to Orangeburg College from
Columbia College, where she had
charge of the Vocal department In
that school for the past five years,
and where she was successful In
building up for that school great
school Of voice. She possesses rich
contralto voice, and is nown all over
the State AS one of the best singers
going. These two talented teachers
will insure Orangeburg College as
fine department in music as can
be found in this State.
There has long been a demand for
a school that would give such train
ing az this school gives at the low
cost that 1t does, and it is no sur
prise to its friends that it is growing
numbers.

Blease said that Senator Tillman
should be continued in office so long
as he should live; that he Should
die in harness." And, the Governor
expressed the hope that, in spite Of
the mahgning he (Blease) is now re-
ceiving in the State, some day he,
too, would be taken into the afec-
tions of the people, even as Senator
Tillman, after the storm days OF his
early political life, was now regard
ed. Governor Blease likened his
course to that of Senator Tillman, es-
pecially in reference to the opposi-
tion pitted against him.
In a forceful and convincing ad-
dress OF over an hour, Senator S. j..
Summers, of Calhoun County, urged
the cause of the Farmers Union.
Senator Summers is good speaker,
and his fine address should bear fruit
in helping to build up the Farmers
Union, which is splendid organiza-
ton, and which would do great
deal of good if the farmers would all
take hold Of it.
President Riggs Of Clemson took
occasion to reply to the oft-repeated
criticism hurled at Clemson for the
large amount of money placed at Its
disposal. President Riggs explained
that much of this money is being
used to work in behalf Of the farm
ers of the State. some in the exper-
.mental endeavors. He said that IT
the amount were cut in half 1t would
not affect the operating of the COL
lege, but would curtail the efforts
in behalf Of the farmers.
The correspondent Of The News
and Courier says it may be stated
without fear of contradiction that
Governor Blease made what the ma
jority of the people considered a
strong speech, even eloquent at times.
In describing some of the cases which
he had considered in view of par
dons he brought tears to the eyes of
the ladies. During the speech-mak-
ing, Senator Tillman sat upon the
platform, but the remainder Of the
day he remained IL the automobile.

KILL ALL THE FLIES.
This Can Only Be Done by Preventing
the Breeding.

tN"'-,
Papers and magazines all over the
country have taken up the subject OF
the fly; and articles and local stories
are constantly showing him up as a
real danger to human life and health.
"Swat the ily," the great campaign
slogan fills the paragraph and Joke
columns of dailies and it seems that
the States of the union all have found
indeed q common interest in the COM
mon fly.
The National Civic association
while, approving of the "swatting'
movement has as its motto kill all
the flies ind maintains that this
can be done only by prevention from
breeding. The force of this argu-
ment is realized when it IS known
that a time, in deposits Of rubbish,
and one fly may lay four times that
it takes only 10 days for these eggs
to develop >m larvae or "maggots"
into adult flies.
The first step in this prevention
course is to find out the breeding
places and close them to the female
fly. Fermeating animal matter, ma
nure piles, kitchen garbage, pig pens,
ash pits, containing old bedding or
straw or paper and like refuse are
acceptable breeding places for flies,
and it Is pointed out that every house
holder should see. to it that there are
no such pest spots on his premises.
All garbage cans sould be covered
and what must remain should be
treated with kerosene Says one sci
enlist who is enthusiastic in the fly
fighting woSk: "Remesber that it
some Of your business for you and
all of us are endangered in at least
some small degrees by every deposit
of rubbish which has the chance to
harbor flies Do not stop with rem
edying conditions in your own prem
ises, note all deposits of rubbish in
your vicinity and report them to the
owner of tue place or to the board

THE PICNIC LAST TUESDAY.
Another Interesting Account Of the
East Orange Affair.

AS previously announced, the Far
mer's Union Meeting was held at
East Orange in the handsome and up
to-date school building on the 4th
inst. The enterpris.ng people of that
section are to be congratulated on
their beautifully designed and hand
sonely furnished school house. Moth
ing short Of real pluck can rear an
edifice of that kind in our rural dis
tricts. - "a
The day was dry and dusty and
sufficiently hot to be typical Of Amer
lean patriotism. However, the East
Orange folks and surrounding neigh
borhoods were we'll represented in
the attendance. ...-.-...---..-.-.-.
The good ladies served ice cream
and soft drinks during the day which
greatly refreshed thirsty picknickers.
The Union was called to order by
Chairman J. K. Studenmire, and op-
ened with fervent and appropriate
prayer by Rev. L. l.. Redenbaugh.
The first speaker introduced was
Cant, J. H. Claffy, who made a con-
vincing talk to- the farmers on the
banking interest of this county, CIV
ing, some reasons why our present
laws should be changed so as
to obtain flexible expanding curren-
CIV so arranged by banking laws, that
money panic could not occur. (Good
proposision.)
Then followed Dr.. S. J. Summers
with most interesting speech full
of good advice, as we'll as some time
ly warning to the farming interests.
| T think the doctors talk struck re-
sponsiue chord in the minds of the
ladies, thus setting them to thinking,
and, of course, to talking.
Next and last came Mr.. B. F. Kel-
lar, the Unions "sharp shooter" who
had his gun well trained and loaded
with some mighty sound advice to
farmers. Mr.. Kellar said so many
good things that I wish all farmers
and boys in the county could have
heard him. One thing he said l
must mention. In looking over the
audience he was surprised to see so
few men present but he believed If
cotton we're down to five cents per
nound the doors and windows and
every available space would be pack
ed with FARMERS seeking relief and
most eager to hear of plans for their
financial betterment.
Now, that apparently, little pros
perity had come, no doubt through
the Efforts of the Farmers Union, the
farmer himself has become careless
and Indifferent. Mr.. Kellar sounded
the tocsin for every farmer to arm
even in time of peace and prosperity,
in the great warfare for Farmers
Rights. )" -,'--
Chairman Stoudemire, after cour-
teously thanking the speakers and the
attentive audience, announced that
dinner would soon be served in the
school park Dinner was abundant
and delicious, and it was his own
fault, who Failed to get properly serv-
ed.
The ladies realized "a nice sum for
the school and there was handsome
crazy quilt and beautifully trimmed
cake to be sold, but as this scribe
left beforehand, he does not know the
results. --.--

MAKES GOOD START
THE FAIR ASSOCIATION BOARD
a. . NsH =
ELECT OFFICERS.
Fakes the Preliminary Steps for
Holding 1ts First County Fair
During the Coming Fol-.

NJ.
The Board of Directors ,f the Or
angeburg County Fair association
met 70 o'clock on last Saturday at
the City Hall and elected officers and
transacted other important business.
Hon. E., L. Cutler presided over the
deliberations of the meeting tenn
Dorarily until permanent organiza-
ton was perfected Nearly all the
members of the bJard were present,
and all seemed enthusiastic over the
prospects Of holding successful
County Fair this Fall.
The first matter taken up and DIS.
cussed was the election of permanent
officers Of the association. Capt. j.
II. Claffy was elected president by
ncclamation and Messrs. T. R. Nc
Giants and J. W. smoak were elected
by acclamation first and second vice
presidents respectively. Col. A. b.
Marchant was unanimously elected
Secretary and Treasurer. The asso-
ctation is we'll oficered, and we feel
assured that the gentlemen selected
to direct 1t will make the objects for
which it was organized great sue
cess.
It was resolved that the executive
committee of the board be composed
OF the president and two yice-presl-
dents. This committee was empoW-
cred to fix the salary Of the secretary
and treasurer. This is the most I'M
portant officer of the association, and
the man that fills it properly will be
kept busy. Col. Marchant only &C
cepted the position temporarily until
the board could find suitable man.
He could fill the position admirably,
but he has too much business of his
own to look after to give 1t the
required time.
President Claffy and Secretary
Marchant were requested to look az
ter those townships that have not
subscribed to the capital stock OF the
association. 1t is the desire of those
getting up the association that every
township in the county should be a
stock holder in it. The association
Is gotten up to benefit the whole
county by stimulating the farmers
and others to greater achieve
ments in their respective lines. The
townships that held aloof and refuse
to participate in the fair will be the
loser.
When full the Board of Directors
will consist of twenty-six members,
seven Of which will constitute a quor-
um to transact business. Messrs Sol
Kohn, J. B. Traywick, W. F. Fairey,
D. B. Berry and D. D. Davis were
named as premium list committee.
It will be their duty to fix the prem
iums to be offered for different exhi-
bits and to fix the date when the
fair shall be held and the time it will
be open This committee has very i'm
portant duties assigned it.
The first installment of 20 per cent
&C the capital stock is now due, and
Col. Marchant, the secretary and
treasurer, was authorized to call for
and receive the same. This should
be paid on or before Tuesday, August
1. The privilege is given to anyone
who wishes to DO SO, of paying the
entire amount they subscribed to the
capital stock. The association will
ask the city to aid the enterprise, by
remitting taxes and furnishing water
and lights free. The board then ad-
journed.

entirety, were considered a forcible
presentation of his side Of affairs in
South Carolina. Much attention was
paid to his pardon record, the Govern
or going into the details Of several
cases, and explaining the reasons for
his actions.
An interesting incident of the day
was at the conclusion of Gov. Blease's
speech, when Senator Tillman called
upon him to explain for the beneet
Of the people his reasons for the
pardons Of Wash Hunter and George
Hasty. AS to the Hunter case, the
Governor. in responding to this call,
recited the circumstances Of the kill
ing Of Ebert Copeland, as he un-
derstood them, and the implication
was that Governor Blease thinks
Wash Hunter acted in self-defence;
that his victim had begun the as
sault upon him, and that Hunter act
ed to defend himself. Governor
Blease stated that he was urged by
the late Col. Thomas B. Crews to go
ahead and pass upon the Hunter
case, acting on the merits thereof,
and not let the fact that he (Blease)
had been Hunters attorney, prevent
him using his authority, and exer-
clsing the pardoning power If he
deemed a PARDON justifiable.
The reasons he gave for the pardon
of George Hasty were substantially
the same as those he gave when he
pardoned the double-murderer. In
the course Of his speech Governor
