County Agent Pryor is giving special
attention now to the collection and
shipment of cream and has induced
several owners of cows in the county

He is shipping from Somerville each
week about 500 worth of cream,
and several are shipping from other
points for themselves. And this mad

(Rudyard Kipling)
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing. theirs and blaming it on
YOU;
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt YOU,
But make allowance for their doubt
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to
hating,
And yet don't look too good nor talk
too wise. 3.
If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your. aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and
s. Disaster
And treat those two impostors just
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap for
fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
worn-out tools.
If you can make one heap Of all your
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-
toss,
And lose, and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breathe word about your
loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and SlneW
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the Will which says to them:
"Hold onE
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
If all men count with you but none
too much;
If you can fill the unforg.ving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance
run,
Yours is the earth and everything
that's in it,

as his that would have convicted him
Of ignorance precisely like their own.
The number of such facts as he asked
for is infinite, and nobody, in or out
iof college, knows any of them to
which his attention has not been
turned or retains any of them in
which he did not find either interest
or value
Nobody knows everything" Ger
tainly not in this day and time and it
is only a fool who tries to compass
the whole range of human knowledge.
The Times in a further consideration
Of topic says:
GA large fund of general informa-
ton is a possession valuable in its
way, but the biographical dictionaries
abound in the names of great men
whose range of knowledge was mar
rowly limited and who would have
made miserable showing if asked to
bound West Virginia or to tell the
material out of which kerosene bar
rels are made.
"Nobcdy's information exactly CO.
incides with that of anybody else, and
that is fortunate, since it gives every
one of US a chance, now and then, to
show superiority over neighbor. Mr.
Edison, being great in his own line,
must often have pleasure, and no.
body begrudges it to him-not even,
probably, the college graduates who
gave it to him last"

Tribute to Education
Woou IndeX-J journal.

Greenwood lndeX-Journal.
After all, Edison's much discussed
list of test questions for college men
as a test of ability is high tribute
to college trained men, as is pointed
out by Anita L. Grannis of New York
university. She first points out the
basic meaning of his queer theory.
She overlooks Edison as an individual
and takes him as the type of class.
Edison is not not college trained
man himself and has evidently dis
torted idea of what colleges are for.
He thinks, as do many of the same
class of men who have succeeded
without college training, that the col
lege trained man has simply been
packed full of all sorts of facts and
only has to be tapped to give them
out just as some encyclopedia reser-
voir might do. Ability to answer all
of his questions would not be proof
of an educated man-Who has not
heard the reproach of man who is
a walking encyclopedia of useless
knowledge?"
The processes of Mr.. Edison's mind
in this matter have been keenly and
correctly analyzed by Miss Grannls.
She says:
"A touching faith in higher educa-
ton, and profound misunderstand-
ing of it's aims are often displayed by
men who have succeeded without COL
lege training. If ever their pre-con-
ceived notions as to the all-embraclng
nature of four-year course OF study
are shattered, they condemn colleges
in general for not being on the JOB.
The tables could be we'll turned on
Mr.. Edison as the New York Times
points out:
ANY one of the college graduates
who were the objects of Mr.. Edlson,s S
scorn certainly could have prepared a
list of questions of the same nature

We just can't help saying it. but il
does seem silly to US Cor d legislator
to appear before a meeting Of ladies
and ask them to use their infuence
to keep the legislature from violating
the Sabbath and adjourning on that
day. Better ask the ladies to cooper
ate in the sending of members to The
legislature who will attend to The bus
mess properly and adjourn decently
and in order and like sensible mer
should do. Can't do much reforming
them after you elect them. 1t IS
sorter like marrying man to refofn
him, pretty difficult task. And you

That was a good meeting city coun-
ell had the other evening with the
citizens of the town to talk over the
matter of paving the streets. The pity
is we have not got enough money to
do more paving while we are at it,
and as so many property owners are
asking that streets be paved it seems
to us that it would be a gooo time to
vote some more bonds and have the
paving done while we are at it.
We were present partly in the in
terest of having the paving extended
to Boundary street. Some of the cit
liens asked that the paving be ex-
tended to the city limits out College
street inasmuch as that street went
out to the cemetery. Some wanted
the paving extended up Harrington
streets. Others wanted the paving to
go a little further south on Caldwell
street. And some were advocating
going out O'Neall street. All of these
propositions should be given consid-
Grafton.
1t seems to US that with our limited
means even that We should have Col
lege street to the end of the present
campus and not stop at the entrance,
and then good top soil road with
cement curb and drain would do just
as we'll to meet the top SOL road at
the city limits. The Boundary street
as far out from Caldwell as Drayton
and then Drayton down to O'Neall
and out ONean as far as the Meth
odist church would be equitable for
these streets. Certainly no one ever
contemplated paving O'Neall from
Drayton to McKibbin because it
would be we'll to discourage travel on
this street on account of the grade
crossing of the railroad which is a
very dangerous crossing. Then Cald-
we'll street should be paved as far
down as the railroad if possible.
When you recall that we have some
eighty miles of streets in the town,
and the money voted for paving to-
gether with the amount from citizens
will only pave some three miles, you
can re~dily understand the PROPOSE
ton which confronts the city council
in deciding what is best to be done,
and with citizens on number OF
streets asking that the paving be eX-
tended out their way and willing to
pay half the cost. This being the case
it seems to US to be pretty good evil
dence of the sentiment in favor OF
more paving and a good time to vote
some more bonds for that purpose.

We see where one magistrate in
Greenwood fined eleven speeders in
two days. If he made the fines what
they should be he realized sufficient
money from the eleven to run his Of
fee for month or two at least.
We have not heard of any one being
fined for speeding on the highways
in Newberry. May be they stopped
since the warning which was given
by the sheriff.

The outlook for any sort of crop
this year is not very encouraging. The
weather has been and is too cool GER
tainly for cotton. It takes hot WEI
ther to make cotton and not much
rain. And then it is generally the case
when you have a wet May you have a
poor cotton crop. The thing for US
to do in this section is to plant plenty
corn and then plant plenty sweet po-
tatoes and something that we can eat
of every description.
If we make plenty food we will not
suffer even if we do not have so much
money. And then we must all coop
crate and all will be well with US.

SCHOL AND EXAMl-
NATIONS

The college maintains one hum
dred and seventy four-year schol-
arships in the Agricultural and
Textile Courses. Each scholar
ship means S400 to help pay ex-
penses and S160 for tuition appor-
toned equally over the four years.
Also ffty-two scholarships in
the One Year Agricultural Course,
these scholarships are worth S100
and tuition of $40. The scholar
ships must be won by competitive
examinations which are held by
each County superintendent OF
Education on July 9Th. 1t is
worth your while to try for one
of these scholarships.
Credit for examinations passed
at the county seat will be given TO
those who are not applying 1or
scholarships but for entrance.

VALUE OF A TECHNICAL
EDUCATION

A technical education is the
best insurance against hard times:
In earning capacity, it may equal
an estate of $4,000. For the un-
trained are the positions of pow
evty and obscurity.
Times are hard in South Caro-
lima, but the cost, of an education
at Clemson College is compara-
lively low-suficiently low to be
within the reach of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States
Government to R. 0. T. G. stu
dents, still further reduce the
cost.
Do not allow the financial diff
fculties to keep you from entering
college this fall to prepare your
self for the opportunities that lie
ahead.
