Bureau Of Marketing
Helping Farmers

Ii ary one had any doubt as to
whether or not the South Carroll
ma State Bureau of Marketing
was helping the farmer to dis
pose of his surplus products the
following note received from a
farmer near Ridgeway in Fair
field county ought to be con-
vincing.
THE bureau is the finest
thing yet. l advertised 125
bushels of veland Big
Boil cotton seed through it and
soon sold all at 90 cents the
bushel. y 1 also sold al pounds of
Angora wool at a fair price.
| also have sold quite a mum Der
of pigs through che bureau at
good prices. Gould have sold
five times as much Cleveland
cotton seed at the same price.
Long live the bureau"
And then from way up in
Oconee near Westminster a
farmer writing to get some
registered hogs and other stock
says:
Il think that the bureau is
rendering the people of South
Carolina great service and
for one at least appreciate it."
This week also farmer in
Sumter county received an or
der for two Of his country hams
at 20 cents the pound from a
man way down In Lakeland,
Fla. who had seen these hams
listed in the bulletin.
In other words there is scarce
ly week that there are not en-
tlrely new developing lines of
activity appearing in connect
ion with the work of the bu
reau.-The State.

A Summer Irish Potato

Clemson College, S. C.,-The
Irish potato is one of the most
important truck crops of the
South, yet, it is a crop that is
grown to a limited extent by
the people of our State. The
farmers do not produce enough
for their own use during the
winter months.
During the last few years, we
have tested a large mum Der of
varieties at this Station, the
idea being to find q variety es-
pecially adapted for planting in
midsummer, or as a second crop.
The trouble with most varieties
IS that they fail to sprout when
planted in the summer, and
therefore, the stand of plants is
very poor, and the yield necces-
sarliy unsatisfactory. We have
found that the Lookout Noun
tain potato will produce better
when planted in midsummer
than when planted in the spring.
The tubers will keep from No
VEN Der until the following Au-
gust III perfect condition. If
fhls variety proves to be we'll
adapted to the Eastern part
OF our State, it seems to me that
1t Will practically revolutionize
potato growing in this State.
The potato can be grown as
cheaply in this State as any
where else, and the fact that
two crops may be grown on
the same land in nine months.
makes this vegeta bic of especial
Importance. a spring crop may
be grown and shipped to the
Eastern Markets. Another crop
may be planted on this same
lani, and the tuoers harvested |
In November for market during
the winter months. The strong
points Of this variety are that
% per cent of the tubers plant
ed in July and August will pro-
duce strong plants, and it keeps
better than any variety | have
ever grown.

Belated Realization

He was very small boy. Pad.
dy was his dog, and Paddy was
nearer 60 his heart than any
thing on earth. When Paddy
met swift and hldeous death on
the turnpike road his mother
trembled TO break the news. But
it had to be, and when he came
home from school she told hIm
simply:
Paddy has been run over and
killed."
He took it very quietly, finish
ed his dinner with appetite and
spirits unimpaired. All day it
was the same. But five minutes
after he had gone up to bed there
echoed through the house shrill
and sudden lamentatIon. His
mother rushed upstairs with So
llcitude and sympathy.
Nurse says he sobbed,
that Paddy has been run over
and killed"

deut Wilson delivered u Memo
rial Day address today at Arling-

he defined the spirit of America,
warned citizens of foregin birth
not to set themselves against
the purpose of the nation, called
upon young men to perform vol

Tended his recent suggestion for
an alliance If nations to pre- serve
peace. He spoke before an au-
dience made up largely of veter-
ans Of the War Between the Sec
tions, who applauded him Jigor-
Ously. While he declared he
had no harshness in lis heart for
Americans of foreign birth and
expected them to love the sourc-
es of their origin, the president
said, "Ainerica must come first
in every purpose we entertain
and every man must count upon
being cast out of our confidence,
cast out even of our tolerance,
who does not submit TO that
great ruling principle"
Speaking Of America, made
up out of all people of the world,
as the champion Of the rights of
mankind. he said:
I'VE are not only ready to co
operate but we are ready to
fight against any .aggress ron,
whether from within or without.
But we must guard ourselves
againt any sort of aggr" ssion
which would be unworthy Of
America. We are ready to fight

Schools Share
In State Fund

i"s VI ohe STATE DOaru or eduCa-
tion after the opening of the
scholastic year 1876 it was
seen that the high school appro ,
prIation would fall not far fir ,m
$4,000 short of meeting the ap-
plications for state aid. The
BOARD sent notice to every
state-aided high school notifying
1T that it would proba BILE be able
to get no high school money be-
yond what is known as the ini-
tial appropriation-that is. a
limit OF $500 for any high school
with two or more teachers and a
limit of $500 for high school
with fewer than Two teachers.
AT the May meeting of the state
board of education it was found
that a few hundred dollars was
unapproDliated and the board
dlrecte d that this small residue
De distributed as equally as pos
siolle among the most deserving
schools.
The final apportionments have
been made and sent out to the
county treasurers. First, all high
schools with one full high school
teacher, as much half the time
of second high school teacher.
The following schools were
given an additiol $25 each for a
high school enrolment of over
~ pupils from outside the local
district: Chesterfield. Winsboro.
Greer, Mullins, Prosperity, Sem
eca, Holly Hill, Central, Pick
ems, Johnston and York.
Chesterfield was given an ad.
ditional $25 fer lengthening the
school year two weeks. Page
land was given 500 additional
for lengthening the school wear
one months.
AT the recent session of the
general assen. bly, til e higL
school law was changed in sever
al particulars. Beginning with
the session 19lG-17 a school in.
order to be high school with
state aid must employ as MANY
as five teachers, two in the high
department and as many as
three III the elementary depart-
ment, and enroll not fewer than
20 high school pupils. Schoosl
not able tn meet these reuu;r-
ments will be transferred TO the
rural graded class. The new
high school law also requires a
local school tax of at least 4
mills for running expenses. This
requirement is the same as re-
Qnlred for rural graded school
ED. The Law further provides
for the encouragement of high
school pupils in small schools to
be taken by the larger and bet
ter equipped nigh schools free of
tuition.
The cardinal purpose of the
new law is to provide better fa-
cinnes for country districts bv
small schools to
give Their teaching time to the
elementary gra,les instead of
making vain effort to SUPPORT
high school grades with totally
lnadt quate facilities" said !.

TXTUV not give your lad

When was n growing lad. and On me
upon many words in Tny reading that
did not understand. my mother, in
stead of giving me the definition when
i applied TO her, uniformly sent me TO
the dictionary to Learn, it, md in this
way 1 gradually leaned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question among other things,
how to use dictionary. and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards. when went TO the village
school, my chief diversion. after les
sons wcro leaned and before they
were rcc.tcd, was in turning over the
pages OF the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una
br.dl:ed theNEW WINTERN.tTIONAL--
gives me pleasure of the same sort.
So far as my knowledge extends. it Is
at present the best OF the one-volume

possess the spIcadid dictionaries in

convenience to have this, which is SO
compact, so full, and so Trustworthy

Beautiful Fish.

Japanese gardens are almost like a
part of the house. The people live In
gardens far more than most Ameri-
cans do. In almost every garden is
found pond with goldfish In it. The
golden carp is kind of goldfish
which was brought from China to ia
pan, and the species named ranchu is
greatly admired 1t has a tail made
of three or four fanlikc fms that open
and close. When floating about in the
water and looked ut from above it ap-
pears like one of the old Japanese gold
coins called the koban. 1t Is supposed
to look like a lion, when one gazes
straight into its face. The Japan Mag
azine tells us of these fish and says
that the japanese are fond of giving
fancy names to their favorites, such as
dancing butterfly and double cher
ry blossom Sometimes the fish take
their names from appearance and
sometimes from habits.

Snuff and a Crook.

Robert Pinkerton once told story
of his father. the founder of the de
tectiye agency, which illustrates the
elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained in Pinkerton's
Chicago Office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room and when he returned
took the precaution of holding a re.
volver in front of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkerton's desk in his hand
"This is good snuff" affably re-
marked the crook as he took sniff.
"For the eyes or the noseY asked
Pinkerton. who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
TO escape.
"Well." remarked the criminal, 'T'm
sorry to say that the nose gets it this
time.''

Amazing Transformation.

One may be a speckled trout in the

cording to an observer, who believes
that many country boys would do well
to stay at home.
"A farmer" he said, "once caught
a fine speckled trout, which he decided
to present to his aunt in the city. Ac-
cordingly, he wrapped it in green
leaves and placed it In basket in the
body of the wagon. As he stopped for
refreshment at roadside tavern some
mischievous boys took Goldfish from
q nearby grocery stall and substituted
it for the fnny beauty.
ARRIVING in the city, he presented
the fish to his aunt What do you
meanY she cried. This isn't trout;
it's Goldfish
Rather crestfallen, he took it back,
but on the road the boys again made
a substitution. and when he showed
the fish to his wife It was speckled
trout. She listened to his tale with an
amused smile. Yes. she said finally

The Degradation Of Matter.

II we examine the life history Of
any substance with sufficient knowl-
edge and sufficient care, says the En-
gineer, we shall find that nature pro-
vides means and forces that little by
little are turning that substance into
dust. The manipulations Of man
greatly assist in the process. But ma
ture itself is always active in it and
even without mans aid is quite COM
petent to achieve the task. At times
we strive to hinder the process, as, for
example, when we apply paint to IRON
work in order to prevent it from rust
ing. But we can hinder it only for a
time, and even then we merely check
the degradation of one substance by
degrading another. Thus we have con-
stantly to renew the paint on our iron-
work. The former coats disappear
wholly or in part, and the material Of
which they were composed has turned
to dust. We may accordingly look
forward to a time when all matter will
be uniformly distributed as dust
throughout space. condition that, ac-
cording to the nebular hypothesis,
actually did prevail at one time, before
the universe. as we know 1t, was
formed.
