University Of South Carolina and Of
Winthrop college began most auspic.
iously here when the representatives
OF the three institutions mentioned

and attentive audience. The varsity
Quartette was sent with the university

It's excellent songs, which came in be-
| tween the addresses as very pleasing
part OF the program. Supt s. H. Ed
munds OF the city schools, chairman
OF the Chamber Of Commerce educa-
tlonal committee, presided and intro
duced the speakers. He spoke Of the

department which they had inaugural
ed and OF the benefits which could be
derived from 1t by the people all over
the state.
DR.. d. w. Daniel Of Clemson col
his audience in fine humor by relat-
ing number Of his inimitable jokes
and then went on to tell Of the value
or cooperation between city and
country and college and citizens Of
the state, the aim of the extension
department, he stated, being to estab.
lish closer relationship between the
TWO. He deplored the fact that in
the past politicians had been largely
instrumental in bringing about a false
relationship between town and coun-
try, when the two should be in the
closest Of relationships because Iof
their mutual dependence. In closing
he pointed out that ideals must be
high, If high achievements were to be
contaminated
DR.. w. e. Walmster ,of Winthrop
college spoke of the difference in past
times Of the college and the non-col-
lege man. saying that there was an
air OF artifciality about the college
man who was mot trained to work.
Now the college aim is different The
college teaches man how to do
things, to take care Of himself in the
"oiio, W IlClonU 1OF his own
needs and to aid his fellows The
extension department went even fur
ther. 1t sought to aid those who could
not attend college by carrying the
college ideas and teaching to him at
his home. This was the work ,of the
college Of the future, work which
was being inagurated with the extern
slton departments Of the colleges
DR.. Joshiah Morse, University of
South Carolina representative, spoke
Of the necessity Of service, the key.
note Of his address being conveyed in
his closing sentence, the motto of his
university: "We live to serve" This
serving Of the people of the state who
made the college or university posi-
BILE was the chief aim OF the college
and he told Of what the university
sought to do in this line Of teaching
and offered assistance to any who de-
sired it brought to them.
The meeting is the first Of three to
be held i'll the campaign, the others
being scheduled at Rock Hill ,and An
derson later on. The work Is expect
ed to prove Of great value throughout

all who desire to take them.

attention to the lack Of supply of
potash and the enormous price now
charged for 1t. agree with Mr..
Coker that the best solution Of our
present difficulty, due to the lack of
artificial fertilizing material, is crop
rotation, winter cover crops, ground
limestone, ground phosphate rock,
ana more live stock. Efforts are now
being made to secure cheap freight
rates on ground rock and limestone.
THESE materials will, to large extent,
take the place Of the higher priced
