CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK.
Press Bulletin No. t34-Farmers'
Short Course in Agriculture.

The four weeks winter course in
agriculture will begin January l3,
1914, and will continue until Febru-
ary 10. All who intend taking this
course should report Monday, Janu-
airy 12.
1t is an established fact that
farm can no longer be run success
fully in the old-time, haphaZard
fashion. Science and brains applied
to farming so increase the yield and
improve its quality as to make some
knowledge of the underlying princi-
pies of scientific farming essential to
the successful farmer of to-day.
While it is realized that the four-year
course is none too long to give boy
a foundation which will insure sue
cess in farming. it is clearly seen
that there are many practical farm
ers who have neither the time nor
the means to devote four years to
the college course, and who would
be greatly benefited by few weeks
spent at the college. 1t is to meet
such demand that Clemson College
offers this short course Of four
weeks. The work will be extremely
practical. Lectures will be given on
cotton growing and cotton grading.
rotation of crops, production OF
grasses and forage crops, the breed
ing and feeding Of live stock, dairy
ing, fertilizers (their composition.
application and home miXing); hog
cholera and the use of hog cholera
serum; tick eradication, control Of
contagious diseases (both plant and
animaD. In addition to the lee
lures, practical work will be given in
Judging live stock, testing milk, but
ter making, budding and grating,
the making Of cuttings, laying off the
orchards and vineyards, the planting,
pruning and treating Of fruit trees,
vines and ornamental shrubbery, the
growing of vegetables, and the con-
struction of cold frames and hot
beds. These courses will be supple
mented with special illustrated lee
lures given during the evenings by
members of the teaching staff, and
Will include talks and discussions on
plant diseases, injurious insects and
methods Of controlling them, plant
breeding, seed selection, gulleying
and it's prevention; terracing, road
making, etc.
This course is open to all farmers
and farmers sons Of South Carolina.
There are no entrance requirements
except desire on the part of those
entering to increase their knowledge
OF farm operations and farm man
agement. The only expenses will be
railway fare and $40 for room and
board.
If more information is desired,
write to the Director of the Agricul-
tural Department, Clemson College.

Cascarets work while you sleep;

NEGRO sMoTHERED TO DEATH.
Had Gone to Sleep Beneath the Oil
Mill Overflow Flue.
(AndersOn Mail. 5th.)

Eugene Williams, a negro about
80 years old, was smothered to death
at the Farmers Oil Mill some time
Thursday night by being covered
with about two tons Of cotton seed.
He was missed this morning, and a
search resulted in his being found at
D o'clock Friday morning beneath the
overflow from the cotton seed flue.
where he had apparently lain down
to sleep, being covered by seed and
smothered to death
Williams'S body was removed, and
Coroner j. II. Hardin made an inves.
tigatiOn. An examination was n, ,Ge
by a physician, and as a result of this
it was decided that an inquest was
unnecessary; that the negro's death
had come as the result Of his own
carelesSncss in lying down beneath
the overflow flue in the oil mill.
The negro had no near relatives
here who were interested, and will
be buried at the county home this
afternoon, the oil mill and the county
sharing the expense. 1t is said that
he had bOaSted that he had been on
the county roads seven times. and
was not tied to any one. An uncle
at Walhalla was notified of Williams
death, but declined to have anything
to do with the burial Of the body.
1t is supposed that Williams was
not awakened by the seed pouring in
-on him until the weight was such
that he was unable to get out.

TARIFF REFORM.

Four years ago Congress met to carry
out the promises Of tariff reform made
by the Republican party-the party then
in power Failure to keep its promises
was one of the leading causes of over
whelming defeat last November. Yes
terday, Congress met again for the same
purpose, only this time the Democratic
party is in power, but the promise is
the same. The Democrats have made a
good start and have prepared a good bill
AS good as can be prepared under our
present system of tariff legislation-but
it remains to be seen if the party is
going to be any better able to keep its
promises than were the Republicans
Already there is promise of the same
opposition to the measure that defeated
the efforts at reform four years ago
Will the Democrats be able to overcome
it,

WHAT DOES LAW MEAN?
Correspondent Thinks Taxation Measure
Is Much Confused

Editor, Barre Daily Times: | would
like through your paper to ask few
questions in regard to the much-talked-
of topic of the day, taxation. We have
read the opinions Of the attorney gem
eral the tax commissioner, also the gov
ernor OF the state. They seem to differ
somewhat in their opinions in regard to
the true meaning of the law. | would
like to ask the man that drew up and
presented the bill and the leading men
that supported it to arise and explain
the law.
| understand some of the listers claim
that all papers, notes, mortgages, etc,
must be made out new to comply with
the requirements of this law. After get
ting the opinions Of the gentlemen above
referred to, what time was there to do
this and have it ready for April ! As
the matter stands at present, | think
large majority OF the taxpayers hardly
know how to proceed to comply with the
meaning OF this law.
