THE GRAND JURY'S RE-
PORT.

We call especial attention to
two matters in the report of the
grand jury, which we publish in
this issue. One is the recon-
mendations as to putting the
public roads of the county in
good condition, and as a means
thereto, the use of drags. There
should be some general plan
each year, as spring approaches,
for having the roads all over
the county put in passable con-
dition and this can be done in a
reasonably short time and by
the use of no great outlay of
money. The bitches on each
side should be cleaned out and
the road raised in the middle so
as to shed the water and the
split-log drag used, so as to give
smooth surface.
Another recommendation is
as to the rural police of the
county. The grand jury says ::
I'VE recommend that our rural
police be required to go over
their respective townships con-
tinuously as the police Of a
town are required to do and be
more on the alert to catch up
with law breakers. We also
recommend that any rural po-
liceman or constable who vio-
lates the law in any manner, or
fails to do his duty, be discharg-
ed and some one else put in his
stead" This is also a good rec
ommendation. The rural po-
icemen are expected to be con-
Stantly on their beats in their
respective townships. Their
whole time belongs to the town
ships and they should be patrol
ing them from one end to the
other in season and out of sea-
son.

KEEP 1T CLEAN.

The conviction of Julian
Hawthorne, author and son of
the famous novelist, and DR..
William j. Morton, the son of
DR.. w. G.. Morton, the first user
of ether in surgical operations,
in the United States court in
New York, on the charge of
making fraudulent use of the
mails in negotiating certain
stocks and the sentence of each
to a. term Of one year in the
federal prison in Atlanta, brings
shame to family names which
had never been tainted before.
Their counsel in pleading for a
suspension of sentence urged
that "the names they had labor
ed SO long and so hard to keep
clean, being now sullied" was
punishment enough. What a
lesson this should be to the ris-
ing generation of young men.
How often nowadays are the
gray hairs of a devoted father
or mother brought in sorrow to
the grave by the needless act of
some wayward son or daughter
who loves them dearly and
would not willingly cause them
pain. And how many fond pa
rents hearts are made to ache
by the conduct of children
which falls short of crime. If
a sense of what is right will not
deter them from the commits
sion of disgraceful deeds, if they
would but remember the spot
less record of those who have
gone before them, they would
be careful to keep that record
clean.

WHAT DID III DO?

Can anybody explain why
things are so different in North
Carolina from what they are in
South Carolina. The legisla-
ture of the Old North State.
which has just adjourned, pass
ed some laws which will be of
lasting benefit to the people of
that state, among them a COM
pulsory education law with pro-
vision for enforcement at the
option Of individual counties
and providing for six-months
school term. 1t adopted the
Torrens system of land regis
tratiOn, authorized the drawing
of jurors from counties other
than those in which the crime
is committed, adopted a cor
rupt practices act, provided for
a commission to propose meas
ures revising the state consti-
tuition. These are only a few
among many measures enact
ed into law.
Now can anybody tell us what
the legislature Of South Caro-
lima did after a prolonged ses-
sion beyond the constitutional
limit?

SAD, BUT TRUE.

This is a pathetic story told
editorially in The State Satur-
day:
Zone riding along the road in
a coast county was surprised to
see a negro seated on the porch
of a white mans house, sur
rounded by the large family
mother, father and four or five
children, some of them nearly
grown. The passer-by, i'm
pressed by the attention being
given by the whites to the col
ored man, determined to solve
the riddle. He did so. A letter
had come to the white family,
but the writing therein was
meaningless hieroglyphics to
every member of that family of
white illiterates and they called
upon a negro who could read to
give them the meaning of the
written words"
And yet demagogues and
cheap politicians are continual
ly fooling the people with film
sy arguments that it won't do
to pass a compulsory education
law because it will be the means
of educating the negro, when
they know very well that the
negro needs no compulsion, that
they will often go to school with
empty stomachs to get an edu-
cation.

Manus is well posted on many
matters pertaining to the farm,
such as the proper use of COM
mercial fertilizer, how to re-
claim rundown land by crop
rotation, the planting of legu-
mems, terracing, etc. Mr.. Nc
Manus is ready to give help to
any of the farmers in the way
of suggestions about many mat
ters relating to farm life, which
subject has been a study of
many years with him.

RURAL LIFE PROBLEMS.

There is to be conference
on education in the South to be
held in Richmond, Va, in April,
at which much time will be de-
voted to the consideration of
rural life problems. Some of
the questions to be considered
are the following:
|. What is now being pro-
duced in the South. Tables
showing volume of certain
crops; potatoes, grain, etc.
II. What can be produced.
Comparison with other coun-
tries.
III. Why are we not getting
the yields of which our soils are
capable?
/. Unskilled, wasteful tillage,
and how this is to be remedied.
2. The tenant evil; its ex-
tent, its influence, and the con-
sequences. How can the tenant
be turned INTO a prosperous
landowner?
3. The lack of capital. How
is this to be met? The practic-
ability Of credit societies and
cooperative rural banks.
4. Wasteful marketing, cut
ting down income, thus keeping
the farmer behind. The value
Of cooperative selling associa-
tions.

CLEMSON COLLEGE AND
THE FARMERS.

We have just received a
batch of bulletins sent out by
the agricultural department of
Clemson College. Wet get them
often and have wondered if the
farmers of the county as a rule
take the trouble of writing for
these bulletins, for they can be
had for the mere asking.
Among those recently receiv-
ed is circular No. 10 on Home
Mixing of Fertilizers" by j.
Coke Rompley of the fertilizer
department of Clemson College.
1t contains much valuable in
formation, such as why it is
important to mix your fertiliz-
ers at home" Also the formula
for the different grades and the
kinds best to be used on the diff
erent grades of land. The bulle-
tin says:
1T is the iudicious use of
commercial fertilizers that is
most important at present. To
avoid indiscriminate buying, it
is necessary that the farmer
should know the forms that are
most valuable for his different
crops, their relative money
value, and when and how TO ap-
ply them. We do not advocate
the trial of every new fertilizer
that comes on the market. 1t
is the best policy to use sources
of plant food which have proven
their value, and let the expert
ment stations do the expert
menting on the new sources.
Always bear in mind that com
mercial fertilizers are applied
to produce immediate results.
therefore availability is of the
first Importance"
We urge upon our farmers to
get in touch with the agricul-
tural department of Clemson
College and get the advantage
of the valuable information
which the department will glad
ly furnish on demand.

Him who said "Come unto me
all we that labor and are heavy
laden" we would ask God to be
our helper all through the jour
ney of life. How often dis
couragements come upon US,
making us feel that life is not
worth the living-how often
we reach the point where we
are almost ready to give up. 1t
is because we have left Him out
of our plans and purposes. If
we would but remember the
command, "Take my yoke upon
you and learn of me-" and sum-
mon Him to our side as fell
low toiler through this vale of
tears we would find in the end
that our lives had been lived to
better purpose. So let us all
initiate the head of our great
nation and take God more into
our lives.

THE COW TICK.

Read the Clemson College
bulletin on the eradication of
the cow tick. There is a federal
quarantine against cattle being
shipped from this county.
On April l that portion of the
county lying north of Waxhaw
creek will be released from
quarantine. Some few of our
farmers have been interesting
themselves in this matter and
we believe a county association
for the eradication of the cattle
tick has been formed. The tick
caused South Carolina a loss
annually of something like ST.
100000. We urge upon every
cattle raiser to give heed to this
important matter and cooper
ate together with the United
States government and Glenn
son College to run the pest out
of the county. The best way to
begin is to free your own cattle
of ticks.

VICE IN CHARLESTON.

In Saturdays issue of The
Charleston News and Courier
on the editorial page is an ar
ticle on "Old-Fashioned Relig-
ion," by Rev. j. Kier q.
Fraser, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church of that
city, in which he says among
other things, 81 have travelled
a good deal, both on this conti-
nent and in Europe, and / have
never been in a city where law
was disregarded so brazenly
and where vice flourished so
openly as is the case here"
This is certainly a fearful ar
raignment of conditions in
Charleston and we judge from
the prominence given the article
in the paper, the editor must
have thought there was some
thing in what the minister was
talking about, but we have
never noticed that The Post or
The News and Courier have had
much to say about such a con-
dition of affairs. If the writer
is correct in his diagnosis of
the moral and religious condi-
tions in the city by the sea, it
seems strange that the news
papers of that city would not
cry out as the minister has done.

corn stalks and dead tomato
vines standing and not any
thing fresh coming from the
garden. A garden in the South

something fresh to eat every

account says that the defen-
dant had hauled Jack rabbits
which caused plaintiffs horses

from Missouri that it will be
dangerous in the future for rail

peoples horses may become
