TEACHING oE AGRICULTURE.
Ihel2 sisss : ;!.yS;sfiEigg i57nand for g.
ricuitural knowledge.
(Greenyille News. )

The time was, and this was not
many years since, when the average
farmer looked upon the teacher Of
scientific farming as one unduly en-
dowed with presumption, who i'm
agined that he, through books, co lid
learn more about farming than the
man who had followed the plow had
learned through experience. The adj
vocate of intensive farming was look
ed upon as rather unwelcome among
the farmers, for his theories were but
little respected. But now this condi-
tion has changed, and the farmers
are willing to learn scientific farm
ing. They generally welcome the
coming of a teacher of agriculture,
and not infrequently do they profit
by his teachings. This fact Of the
awakening OF the farmers is one of
| the best signs of the times, for It
means a larger production at lower
cost. It means the possibilities OF
| the soil will be realized to a vastly
greater extent than under the old
| regime.
A recent government bulletin IL
Illustrates the growing demand for ag-
ricultural knowledge. In the year
1905 there were but 100 secondary
schools which offered agricultural
courses. Now there are no less than
1000 in the United States. And
again, the larger salaries paid the
teachers Of agricultural science shows
the creased demand for this kind
OF knowledge. Investigation shows
that the average salary of the high
school teacher of subjects other than
agriculture is 500 per annum. The
| average teacher Of agriculture re-
ceives $1,000 annually. This condi-
tion is caused by the rapid awaken
ing of the farmer to the necessity
for scientific knowledge, which awak-
ening has come so rapidly that the
schools have not turned out so many
soil scientists as the country is ,all-
ing for. Another significant fact is
that elementary agriculture is re-
quired in seventeen States OF the I'm
ion, and that many States are MAX
ing appropriations for various agri-
cultural schools.
The result of this new trend in ed
ucation Is easily seen. The Ameri-
can farmer, especially In the South,
has been wasteful in the extreme,
failing in the majority of instances
to realize anything like the potenti-
alities of the soil. This was because
of dearth of knowledge of scientific
farming. 1t was not formerly recog-
ni2ed that agriculture is practical
science, and one which requires study
in the schools as we'll as in the
fields
But now the American planter sees
his former mistake and is seeking to

Are You Subject
to Constipation !?
HERE is A SIMPLE WAY OF COR
RECTING 1T INSTANT BIC.
FORE 1T BECOMES
CHRONIC.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
ters, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value In some cases,
it is true, but the good effect is soon
lost, and the more one takes OF them
the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what 1t Is represented to be,
mild laxative medicine. 1t Is so mild
that thousands of mothers give it to
tiny infants, and yet 1t is so COM
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are ell
derly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is fact that millions OF fami-
lies have Syrup Pepsin constantly in
the house, homes like those OF Mrs.
G. B. Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used
DR.. CaldweWs Syrup Pepsin as lax
ative tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that
it SO strengthened and cleansed her
system that she was quickly reliev-
ed Of severe cough which had
troubled her for months. The special
value of this grand laxative tonic 70

75 Lodges, $500 Members.
The Orphan Home Continued.
(Anderson Mail, 15th.)

After two days spent in earnest
discussion Of the problems facing
them, the members Of the Grand
Lodge, Independent Order of Odd
Fellows this afternoon decided, by a
vote that was practically unanimous,
to continue the work Of the Odd Eel
lows Orphan Home at Greenville.
The Grand Lodge was not disposed
to act with such unanimous accord,
but the action shows the deternina-
ton of the Odd Fellows to advance
the state Of their order and the con-
dition Of the orphans entrusted to
their care.
Outside of the election and install
lation of officers and the deciding on
Columbia as the next place of meet
ing the Grand Lodge disposed Of very
little else at this session. Grand
Master Craig, who presided over the
trying deliberations, was elected to
succeed Col Jas. G. Long, Jr., OF UnL
ion, as representative 10 the Soyer-
eigp Grand Lodge 2at Minneapolis,
The Orphan Homo.
A. E. Kline, OF Greenville, was
elected to take charge Of the Orphan
Home, which is located near Green
Vile. He is a man of large expert
ence in the affairs Of the world and
has heretofore been connected with
an Odd Fellows, home, having been
on the board of the home of the State
of Arkansas for some years. He will
give bond for the faithful perform
.ance Of his duty, and the members
of the Grand Lodge seem to think
that he is the very man or the place.
1t is proposed to dinl barge all in
debtedness within the coming year,

ODD FELLOWS IN GRAND LODGE.
The Election OF 1Oficers- Orphanage
Matters OF Principal Interest.

Anderson, May 14.--To-morrow
morning the South Carolina Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, In annual
convention here, will vote on the
question OF closing the Odd Fellows
Orphan Home, located near Green
Vile. The home was the all-absorb-
ing subject in the two business ses-
sions of to-day and the members
have talked of but little else since
arriving In Anderson.
1t Is said that, due to the Vaughn
episode and to the slack business
methods which are alleged 10 have
been practiced in running the or
phanage, the members Of the order
throughout the State have allowed
their interest in the home to wane
to such an extent that sufficient sup
port has not been forthcoming.

follows:
Grand Master-Kenneth Baker,
Greenwood.

pered during the year The net gain
in membership was ia. There are
rs lodges, with a total membership

The meeting tonight was purely
social, several candidates being given
the first degree by team from Wade

addresses were made during the
smoker which followed.

The minority report provided that

WORLD SMALL FOR CRIMINALS.
Each Year They Find It More Diff
cult to Hide From Justice.

The world is contracting year after
year against crime and criminals.
Extradition treaties have made the
civilized nations similar in that way
to the Roman Empire. As it COM
prised all there was of the known
world, there was no escape for d GRIM
nal. The decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Porter Charlton,
who under it was sent back to Italy
for trial for killing his wife, calls at
tention to this gradual contraction.
The decision, which should ada to the
instre Of our great court in the eyes
of the world bore heavily on the
point that Italy does not similarly ex-
tradite criminals. her laws providing
that such persons shall be tried N
Italy.
Because of this Justice Lurton. who
delivered the opinion, said that our
treaty with italy did not provide for
such extradition. Some of our treat
les. he said. SO provided and some lid
not. The Inference was that we re-
cognized that there was no exception
for oGr citizens where it was not made
in treaties as it was not with italy.
which the Justice emphasized, viii
probably have its weight with the
Italian courts. Almost simultaneous
iy with this the State Department an
nounces informally that with the rat
ifeation of the treaty with Paraguay,
which now awaits action by the Sea-
ate, the last civilized country is COW
cred by extradition treaties, SO that an
offender against our laws can find no
refuge under any settled government.
In 1903 the treaty with Honduras
closed a large field for runaway ras-
Gals.
In the interest of world peace and
order the fullest recognition of extra
dition is best, although neither Eng
land nor our own country will give no
a person charged with political often
SEES, and both require that only on
the crime named in the papers shall
the extradition person be tried. And
here is a great tribute to the liberty
loving instincts of Enslsh-s speaking
people. Certainly as long as govern
ment exists on the earth without
consent of the governed an offender
against political demands should not
be given p.-Indianapolis News.
