THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

A Very Interesting Meeting.AttendanceICot Encouraging.

The firfct iarmerss' institute heldunder the auspices of the newly organizedFairjield Agricultural Association

met "n the court house on

Saturday at 11 o'clock. Mr. Jas. M.Stewart, president of the association,in opening the meeting stated the objectof the organization, and explainedthe character £.nd scope of the workproposed, Mr. Stewart then introducedProf. C. M. Fnrman, who made"Industrial Eclacation" the subject ofhis remarks. Prof. Furman gave an

interesting historical sketch of industrialeducation in this country, andthen proceeded to explain in detailthe plan that Ciemson College and thes C. "E-merimenfc Station will pursue

in giving the farmers practical assistanceand co-operation in their work.His remarks were listened to withthe closest attention by those present.At the conclusion of this address

Prof. Shiver, the assistant chemist at

Clemson, was introduced and he delivereda most entertaining and instructiveaddress on "CommercialFertilizers." This is a subject of deeppractical interest to plauters and thosepresent derived much benefit fromProf. Shiver's reiaarks.

Prof. Hart, who is in charge of thedairy farm at Ciemsot> was the next

! speaker. i=? au expert, in ibis line,and his address contained a great dealof valuable information. Dairy farmingis rapidly becoming an importantindustry in Fairfield, and Prof. Hart'stimely address was particularly interestingto ;hose who arc makingdairying a prominent feature in t^eir

' farming operations. Prof. DuPre'! whose specialty is horticulture was

present, bu;, unfortunately, the numjber of persons present when his turn

| came to spe.ik was too small to warranthis making an address,rf Ovring to tbc fact that farmers are

j unusaally busy at this time the atiteodaucs w.-.s net very large. The

5 time selected was unfortunate. It i:3 hoperf that in future the meetings cau

gbeheld after the crops are laid by

s and farmers have mere time at theiiy disposal.s .. .

from Mr. A. W. Ladd in reference tothe wtrk of the chain gang. Inreply I Deed only say that tbe directionof the chain tfang as to where itis to work is wholly at the discretionof the county board, which is composedof one representative from eachtownship. They meet frequently anddirect the movements of the gang, as

to where it is to work, &c, It is theunanimous purpose of that board to

put roads in the best condition in such_1 a. 1-1!. J T t.nuiauKS as uju puum; mav ucinc iu&

mest advantage; lor instance thewhole county will travel the variousroads leading directly into "Winnsboro,while if we were to start the work oil

any branch road then tbe bonefit wouldonly be for those who live on that particularroad. Oa the other hand, thechain gang has on§y been in operation jabout two } ears. and it is impossibleto work all roads in tk^ county i:i soshort a time; bat I think tbe amount!and quality of work already done by jk/v svrt-rtrv rrry 11 CO!?C+'tr 01 ? thikf in <nit: luaiu uxu a-a. j «-*.* ^»i. «*. .

few years more the roaOs of the wholecounty will be substantially improved,and whan they are once pat in goodcondition, as we are now doing, thenthe work of the gang will be muchmore rapid and the visits of the gangto different parls of the county will bemuch more frequent. But we findthat it is useless to rush over a sectionof road and half do the work, as it isabout as bad a3 no working As tothat particular section of road towhich Mr. Ladd refers, I will say thatthere are four other public roads runningthrough the same neighborhoodupon which the hands of the communitywill be put. As they are not so

important as the Bell's Bridge roaathe chain gang will not be pat to workop them until all the principal roads ofthe county have been worked. I hopeMr. Ladd will understand my positionin this matter, and every one may restassured that every effort of mine inthe discharge of public duty is to benefitthe whole people. Respectfully,

A WORD OF EXPLANATION

From Rev. H. K Ezell, Candidate for

Superintendent of Education.

My friends have presented my name

to the voters of Fairfield County as a

candidate for the office of Superintendentot Education. Permit 4me to

say, therefore, that if I am eleeted, Iwill serve the public to the best of myfthilit.v. There are some considera-1tions why I have consented to acceptthe position if it should be tenderedto me. In the first place, it' has been

suggested that, being a minister, I

might be enabled to give moral (one

to (lie schools. This is a considerationthat weighs mightily with me.

For L am profoundly conscious thatjauv effort to educate the intellect,while giving no attention to moralculture, is sadly deficient. My friends

t,.of the, nlTtno wfinlrl add to IITwHlli Ck. UiiUb LliV UMAVV ff

sphere of usefalness as a preacher. Iam aware that* some people seem to

think that a preacher ought not to holdany public office. But I do not thinkif I should hold the position of superjintecdent of education that I wouldbe going into politics, as it would be

ray business to execute and not to

make laws. Having had considerableexperience as a teacher and havingbeen actively and continuouslv engagedin preaching for some fifteenv

« 1 Ittyears, spending me uaic auvui

In four counties of the State, namely,Spartanburg, Union, Greenville andFairfield, and mingling -with thepeople both in town and country, itwould seem that my observation andexperience oughj to be worth somethingin the discbarge of the duties ofthis very responsible trust. Let me

say also that I have not the remotestidea ot relinquishing in the slightestdegree my work as a minister, shouldI get the office. I magnify my callingas a preacher and expect to follow itas long as the Lord gives me work inHis vineyard of soul saving.

1 T ArAnr*15Ut tile WUl'K >VUIUJJ A aixi uuiug ah

the county is of such a nature that Ican act as superintendent of educationand continue to supply ray churchesThe churches are wnk and can onlyafford to engag* u>i preaching one*or twice p^r li;outh. and should Ilive in Wiitnsouro, as I hope to do, iwould be in easy reach of them frommy home, any Sunday inorumg.Then, too, as a matter of finance theoffice presents to me at this time no

mean consideration as I have a tergefamily, fenr of whom are of properage to be in school. The oldest, a

daughter, ought to be in school ofhigh grade, but the small salarywhich I get from aiy churches is intr\onoWn mo tn inr.nr t.hfiauuijuaiu iv v.uw^iw .

additional expense of sending her offto school. These and other considerationsfrom a financial standpoint leadme to wish the offi :e.The other candidates for this office

are all nice gentlemen so far as Iknow. I am not personally acquaintedwith any of them except the presentincumbent. He seem3 to have donewell with the office, in some respectsat least, but X presume that he basdone no more than was his doty. Forit was his duty to do anythiog and

/tnnM tr\ woL"c* imnrnvp-cvjiy iiiiug ug wuiu w w - ~

ments in the work of his office. Hehad thu office four years and perhapsa change would not be hurtful. 1write thus fully of the ma ter as 1may not be able to make any very extendedcanvass of the county. IndeedI am well known in m'.si «>f I hicounty, and if the p^opls think favorab'.vof my candidacy and givi mctheir support I shall greatly appreciate
