will be thankful to the Camden Board
of Trade, which has had trail laid
out, beginning at the Sherman house
on the Belfast road and following the
old wood road. All doubtful places
are marked by red arrows. The trail
is marked through to "Zeke's Look

Cliff. The old trail from Maiden Cliff
down over the mountain to the turn
pike near the old Jarrett farm has also
been marked with arrows. Other
trails will be opened later.

Point Academy and is to report June
10. He was appointed alternate by
Congressman F. E. Guernsey, taking
the examination at Fort Banks, Bos-

of SO. Presumably, the principal from
this district failed to pass some part
of the rigid test, thus leaving the way
open for the advancement of his al

An old Mexican musket taken from
the Mexican army in the war of 1S4f
by Gen. SCOTS victorious army, and
afterwards presented to the late capt.
w. w. Rogers of Hampden, Is on dis-
play in the window of the Benoit-
Mutty Co. on Exchange street. Bangor,
and is attracting much attention. the
weapon is an old fiintlock, probably
dating back to the days Of the Ameri-
can revolution, is lightweight and
shoots an ounce ball. Its range is es-
timated to be about 200 yards at the
most. After General Scott landed at
Vera Cruz early in 1847, and took pos
session of that city, he started on the
march with his victorious army 10
Mexico City. A body of Mexicans put
up a hard fight at Cerro Gordo In
April, 1S47, but were routed by the
U. S. boys. After the victory, Gen.
Scott caused the Mexican guns left on
the battlefield to be gathered together
and brought into Vera Cruz. Here
they were piled up in the plaza, or
square, to be burned, but the ofncers
in charge graciously granted the re-
quest of the American captains of the
vessels in the harbor bearing pro-
visions for the army for some of the
guns. Capt. Rogers of Hampden was
one of these captains. He brought the
gun home and it has been family
heirloom for the last 81 years. 1t is
now owned by Prof. A. E. Rogers Of
Bangor.

The condition of Col. Robert A.
Thompson, who last week we report
ed in Il critical condition, is but
slightly changed to-day. The veneer
able gentleman Is slowly nearing the
end, passing peacefully from a long,
active and useful life to his eternal
rest. He is in no pain and suffers
from no disease. The ravages of time
and the weight OF his sc years have
Sappcd his vitality, and within a few
short days-a few weeks at the ut
mOst-hc will have been gathered
to his fathers. The citizens Of Oco-
nee are saddCncd by these facts, but
We glory in the life Of this grand old
man whose long years have been a
bonCdiCtiOn to thousands. and when
the end shall have come OConce will
feel 4 grief deeper perhaps than for

his remaining days be all peace as
he gently falls on sleep, and as his
spirit passes through the vale of
shadow may he hear the echo Of the
voices Of those here who have known.

ON TWO IMPORTANT SUBJECTS.
Mayor Brown Talks to People of
WalhaIla-.A Word to Boys.

Editor Keowee Courier: | feel it
my duty to again call the attention
Of the automobile owners not only
those in the town of Walhalla, but
all who drive automobiles through
Walhalla) to ar ordinance regulat-
ing the running Of any and all motor
driven vehicles within the town of
Walhalla, as published in your paper
Of 18th instant.
LIST. That under no conditions
must autos or motor-driven vehicles
exceed the limit of Is miles an hour.
I'd. They must observe crossings,
and in making curves and turning
they should not exceed a
speed Of six miles an hour, and in
making such corners must keep we'll
to the right.
Sd. That all motor-drivcn We
hicles must have both head and tail
lights lighted from shutdown, or as
soon as necessary, until daylight.
4th. No mechanical device known
as cut-out shall be used on any mo-
tor vehicle in the town Of Walhalla.
This may seem altogether unnec-
eSsary, considering the fact that you
have just Gin last weeks paDer) pub
lished in full the ordinance regulat-
iiS tIiC i"hllihS VI ilolol NtlllClto,
but | wish to impress upon the own
ers Of automobiles the importance of
observing this ordinance, as We ex-
pect to enforce it, and we DO not
want to take any one by surprise, and
we believe that you will see that il Is
right that we should enforce these
rules, for with the fast increasing
numDer of automobiles and motor
cycles that is coming into use every
day, We cannot be TOO careful in OBJ
serving these rules.
There is one more thing hat |
wish to call attention to: There is
an old negro man living in orr town,
who was born and raised in our
midst. and who is Familiarity known
as "Crazy Henry" and whose reas-
oning powers have eve developed,
and who is to be pitied rather than
made sport Of. 1t has beer a habit
Of the boys and young men OF our
town to tease and worry this Old
egro, causing him to do many
things hat might result seriously to
either the boys or the old negro, and
in a number Of cases he is so wor-
ried that he will strike with what
ever he happens to have in his hands,
or will throw rocks. which is very
dangerous TOT the DoHS' anu also 10
people who might be passing along
the street or sidewalks, and it has
been reported to me that on several
occasions this negro has thrown
rocks to such an extent that ladies
who we're passing had to retreat to
keep out of the way.
Now, boys, | do not want to have
to take the matter up in an official
Way. but am now calling VOur atten-
ton to this fact. as it has been
called to mine. 1t is dangerous and
should be stopped ut once.

BETTER SCHOOLS IN OCoNEE.
Teachers Summer School Was Great
SuccesS-BoOking to Future.

Editor Keowee Courier: The Oco-
nee County Summer School for
Teachers that closed last Friday was
In many respects the most successful
eve held in the county. or the total
enrolment of 81, over so per cent, or
33, are real teachers, having taught
from three months to 20 years; 20,
or nearly so per cent. have attended
summer school before. The purposes
for which these teachers attended
this school were the following: For
self Improvement; to get certificates
renewed; to prepare for county teach
ers' examination in order to get a
certificate to teach; to work toward
securing a certificate Of higher grade
than II held at present; or, II the
case Of some high school students. to
make up work deficient in or absent
from.
The work done in this school was
most satisfactory to the faculty, more
real work having been accomplished
than has heretofore been seen by the
writer in any other school of similar
nature.
The County Board Of Education ad-
opted a resolution before the school
began requiring attendance Of -
''y 'ilu II oluSt 10 S'l
credit. Those securing credit under
this regulation numbered As, or over
70 per cent Of the entire enrolment.
These figures show conclusively to us
that this was an earnest body of con-
scientious teachers. These teachers
go TO the rural districts almost cX-
c%lusively. They show that the cOun~
try teacher is no longer satisfied with
a second or third grade certificate.
but is making a conscientious effort
toward securing a first grade ccrtif-
cate.
OcOnee county needs a live teach
erS association, and steps were taken
at the closing exercises to organize
one at an early date, and this, to-
gether with the County Trustees As
ISOLATION. should do much toward i'd
vanCing the educational uplift in this
county of such vast possibilities. The
County superintendent, backed by his
Board Of Education. stands ready and
willing to cooperate in any INT every
way possible to make the educational
system Of Oconee the banner one in
the State. In order to do this we
must be up and doing. We must have
our county enrolled in the tomatO
club work for another year; we must
have a county fair and field day next
spring. Already we have won an en-
viable position in athletics. Why
may we not do as we'll in other ac-
tivities? 1t is up to the good people
of Oconee to wake up. bestir them
selves, put their shoulders to the
wheel and make the educational sys-
TEN Of u county the best in the
state. We can do Will you help?
Yes, ! know you will. You have
lie ger yet been found recreant to any
du Y looking toward the advancement
Of u county, State or nation.

1t will be good news to the people
of Walhalla, Highlands and numcr
Gus other points that the post Office
department at Washington has ac-
QuiesCed in the wishes of the people
Of this section Of the State, North
Carolina and portions of Georgia that
are also interested. 1t has been
sought to have the old Walhalla-
Highlands mail service re-establish-
ed, and, through the energetic and
effective work Of Congressman Wyatt
Aiken, advertisements have already
been posted calling for bids for this
service. There will be two bids
asked for-one for a service within
nine hours each way over the route,
the other for a service to occupy ten
hours for the round trip. This lat
ter Of course contemplates the use of
auto-truCk, which has been suggested
both for freight and passenger ser
vice. 1t is hoped that the near flu
ture will see the old Walhalla-High-
lands mail route in active operation.
Too much credit cannot be given to
Congressman Aiken for his valuable
work in pushing these matters before
the Post ONCE Department.

TO HOLD FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Meetings mt Walhalla, Kcowcc. South
Union, August IL, 13 and II.

Editor Kcowec Courier: The an
nual farmers Institutes will be held
on the following dates at the follow
ing places:
Walhalla, August 18TH.
KeOwee. August 18th.
South Union, August l4th.
CAll Of above meetings will begin
at Ii o'clock.)
These gatherings will hold the re-
mainder Of the day from II o'clock.
and the Department of Agriculture
is spending a great deal OF money to
do this very important work. Let
me insist that the people, n and
all, come to these meetings and
bring dinner. plenty Of it.
We have the promise OF able speak
ers from Rock Hill and Clemson Col
lege to speak at these meetings.
To make these meetings worth
while it would be the thing for all
neal enough to each place Of meeting
to bring your milch COWS or dairy
herds out on the grounds-all bulls,
calves, bOarS, brood Sows and pigs of
high type and low type. Let us
show to each other what we have,
whether good. medium or sorry.
S 2ilions. brood mares and colts
bring them without fail.
Now, this is an off season and
there has been a severe drought, but
come up and let us "whoop-up" the
work all we can. Let us show our
appreciation Of what the Department
OF Agriculture has done for the
farmers in the South, especially in
Oconee and South Carolina.
| have made no preparations what
ever. My stock looks worse now
than they have any time this year,
but that is not the point: Animal
breeding is what VIC are driving at
the difference in a well-bred animal
and a scrub or even a grade. A dem
%onstration is what Uncle Sam is
looking for. | think that we can
give it to him.
As to Crops.
| would like TO advise that a fire.
quent but shallow cultivation be kept
up. Sandy soils will need to have
this cultivation for at least SO days
longer in cotton crops. This will
prevent the throwing off of fruit.
Turnip crops are valuable. Now is
the time to begin fall gardens-such
things as cabbage and Georgia col
lards. We can also SOW rye and
vetch in September, and red clover,
Italian rye and tall meadow oat
grass as a hay crop. and crimson
clover as a V crop; also burr
clover is fine Tor cover crops.
Now is the time for pasture york.
Sow white clover, Dallas grass on
north lands with some shades. such
as persimmOn. 1t will thrive on any
land. Low, moist lands will grow
Kentucky blue grass fine. A real
pasture is what We need, but if we
will clear off the briars and bushes,
that alone will be quite an improve
ment on what we already have. Does
it pay to have a large acreage in pas
turage Of woods when only a small
area. if planted to good grass, would
be so much better?
Regarding Farmers Institutes.
ThOS who have saved exhibits Of
oats. rye, wheat, or oats and vetch.
or rye and vetch, or vetch alone. clo-
verS and grasses and alfalfa. should
make an exhibit. We would be very
glad indeed if you would bring these
to the Institutes to be put on exhibit
ton as a decoration, especially at the
meeting at Walhalla.
Don't forget hat dinner.

A handy tool for use In planting the
willow cuttings can be made from .
three.fourths inch iron rod. Point it
SO it can be easily driven into the

at right angles. About five inches
from this right angle bend the rod

angles opposite the other right angle
