Stockmen Want New Law.

Orangeburg.-The ansual meeting
OF the South Carolina Livestock Asso.
cation held here last week was not
largely attended. which was a disap.
polntment to the speakers. as we'll as
those who attended. The officers for
another year are: L.. |. Guion, Lugoli,
president; Thomas O. Lawton. Gar.
nett, secretary. A number of promi.
nent speakers came to deliver ad.
dresses at the meeting. There we're
practically no livestock exhibits. An.
other year the date will likely be
changed i'll order that farmers man
better get off to attend the Sessions
AT this meeting several resolutions
Of Importance were passed. A reso
luton a passed that it was the
Ems of the association that the next
general assembly should enact a law
prohibiting the sale OF heifer calves
for ~butcheiing purposes before they
reach three years old. Another resO-
luton urgently requests the president
to do all in his power to settle al
quickly as possible the necessary ar
engagements for procuring and distriE>
uting nitrate of soda to the farmers
under the provisions OF the act dealing
with that subject. Still another reso.
luton was passed requesting that the
extension division Of the United
States government and Clemson Col
lege be moved to Columbia from
Clemson College, but that the exten.
sion division continue to be conducted
under the supervision of Clemson Col.
lege just as the various experiment
stations are now Icing conducted. A
resolution was declared that MS the
center Of the livestock industry is
steadily moving eastward into the
coastal plains and with the constant
importation OF hogs and cattle from
the older sections Of the country it is
inevitable that hog cholera. black leg
and other contagious diseases will be.
come a menace and as Clemson Col.
lege is far removed from the center
OF the State. that the South Carolina
Livestock Association petition the leg
stature to establish the office of State
veterinarian in Columbia and that
proper hog cholera serums and other
serums and vaccines be kept neces.
sary to combat contagious diseases OF
hc6s, cattle and horses.

describes him.
Mr.. Smith. the tenant. is allowed by
his landlord to sell butter. raiao hogs
OH skim milk. and do lots of other
things that is quite unknown to the
average tenant. and is proving sue.
cessful with it all. The landowner
knows that If his tenant produces
livestock the land will be constantly
improved, thus he himself being bene

The prize-winning herd is the result
Of breeding grade crows to registered

shown by his fiat refusal to accept s25

Women and Business.

Every girl should be taught how to protect herself and prop erty. how ito do business in a better way.
 It makes her a better house. keeper, a better manager and a better mother in case of her hus- bands death, to keep unscrupu- lous persons from taking her property. She can also train her children in self-reliance and self protection.
 Many of the very best places are filled by women graduates who are in every way qualified. It is due from the parents 10 see that your daughters are trained so in case they have to earn their own bread they may do so with the greatest ease. A business education will give her more for her time and efforts than any thing else. Some young lady graduates of D. B. c. at Fort Smith are now drawing from $1, 800 to $2. 900 a year.
