.'JUR WEEKS COURSE SUCCESS
Score of Farmers Given Practical In
structiOn in Clemson Short Course.

Clemson College, Feb 13-Nine-
teen men were enrolled in the farm
ers' short course which has just clos
ed at Clemson College, and the col
lege authorities consider that this
years course has been one of the
most successful since this work was
Established. 1t is better known as the
tour Weeps course and began this
year on January 13, ending this week.
Those men who stayed through to
he end OF the course appeared to be
Aighly pleased at having come and
4" I'll satisfied with what they had been
able to learn in the short space of
time given to the work.
The men who took the short course
ere practical farmers. most Of whom
hed not had earlier opportunities for
2'trn ng scientific agricultural meth
oos. The aid Of the college was to
gre these men as broad and thor
ugh knowledge Of the elements Of
weeks. The course contained work
in agronOmy. including plant growth,
soils fertilizers, tillage, implements
and farm crops; work in animal in
dustry. including breeds of animals.
breeding. feeding, care Of animals
and stock Judging; and some work in
horticulture, dairying, veterinary
science. and entomology
This course is given at Clemson
cllege early each year. The enroll
rn@nt is steadily increasing In size
ma there are other evidences that In
teiest in it is growing among tho
farmers Of the State. The course is
open to all practical farmers who
press farmers in all sections Of the
state with the large opportunities
which these four weeks Of work hold
for them, in order that as many as
possible may receive the benefits.
Much care Is taken in the instruc-
tion OF the men who take the short
course. This course possesses advsn-
tases for the practical farmer which
are likely to mean q very real In
crease In his income and which will
besides enable him to apply himself
TO more advanced scientific study with
aR understanding OF fundamentals.

fILLMAn WRITES PRESIDENT,
SAID TO HAVE TAKEN ACTION
ON APPOINTMENTS.
Nothing Definite - Known, but = Tn
derstOod. However. That Senior Sen
atOr Has Opened Communication on
Subjecl.

Washington. Feb. 12.--Although
could be secured here today regard
ing the matter, it was understood that
Senator Tillman had opened commu-
nication with the White House re-
garding the appointment Of Francis
II. Weston as district attorney and
James L. Sims as marshal, whose
nominations were sent to the senate
Tor confirmation by the senate O day
or two ago.
In view Of the statement made by
Senator Tillman on the day that the
nominations were made that he would
not oppose Mr.. Weston because Mr..
Thurmond, whom he had recon-
mended. had failed Of appointment.
there is considerable interest in the
rumor current today regarding the
correspondence which he is said to
have had with the White House on
the subject.
he will oppose Mr.. Weston, after his
reported attitude in the matter, 1t is
safe to say that it will be a long time
efore confirmation is had.
There Is much in this matter in the
way Of private correspondence which
has never come to the attention OF
The public through the press. but II
there is delay and an effort made
20 block proceedings it may lead to
ON spicy developments.
Senator Smith when asked about
the rumor that Senator Tillman was
in correspondence with the White
House, said he knew nothing Of the
matter and other sources failed to
produce the necessary information.
President Wilson was confined to his
room with a cold, and for these rea-
sons, aside from the rumors Of the
correspondence, nothing came to
Light.

APPROPRIATION BILL RkPORTEO
LIKELY no REQUIRE LEVY ONE
AND THREE QUARTER MILLS
HIGHER THAN IN 1913,
Total Exceeds Last Years by More
Than Half Million Donars-Elec-
tons Will Absorb Unusually Large
Amount-Heavy Reservation for
SchoolA

Columbia, Feb. l8.-The general
appropriation bill reported in the
house last night by George w. Dick,
M. d., Of Sumter, chairman Of the
ways and means committee, carries a
total OF $2,S01,7S5, ON increase OF
@b74'os6 over the appropriation for
1913. The ways and means commit
tee has been working night and day
on the appropriation bill, pairing
down the amounts asked for by the
various departments Of the State. gov
ernment and various institutions un-
der State control. 1t is estimated
that should the bill go through in
its present form it will require a tax
levy OF seven mills 40 compared with
the six and one.quarter mills levy Tor
1913.
The appropriation bill carries an ap.
preparation Of $4,000 to begin the
erection OF State tuberculosis hos
pital under the supervision Of tho
State board OF health. Winthrop coll
lege is given $4,000 for q gymnasium
on condition that it raise $4,000 from
other sources. 1t is understood that
the college already has the neces-
sary sum in hand.
The State Institution for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind at Cedar Springs is
given $4,000 for new buildings and
equipment. The South Carolina In
dustrial school is given $4,000 for
new buildings and equipment. The to-
tai appropriation for the support of
the South Carolina Medical college, q
new State institution, Is $34,S0O.
The bill increases the appropriation
for the State Hospital for the Insane
by &50.266. ~ which $4,000 is to
pay the deficit Of 1918.
One Of the big increases in the ap-
Dropriations Is caused by the fact that
1914 is election year. The appro-
priation for elections Is $45,7S5 as
compared with $3.50 in 1913.
One Of the chief reasons why the
appropriation bill exceeds that Of 1913
Is because 1t carries about $4,000
for the support OF the public schools
This appropriation is made with tn.
provisO that it shall not become avail
able If the senate passes the one mill
tax bill now pending.
The appropriation for the Univer-
sity Of South Carolina is cut q few
| thousand, as compared with 1913.

II was found that there was majority
Of about $50 for me. and that i have
good reason to believe that the ma.
