To the instructors and teachers at tending the summer school, Laurens extends u Cordial welcome and wishes for you a pleasant, profitable stay in the city. ? ? ? According to a Washington dispatch to the Greenville News, Congressman Johnson appears to have succeeded In getting that ten thousand dollar addi tional appropriation for the I.aureus, postolllco, making a total of $00,000 for the federal building and lot. ? ? ? The late Judge Charles Q. Dant/.lcr ?was hold in high esteem in I.nuroilS, both as a man good and true and a judge worthy of the ermine. The mem orial held Monday was a titling ex pression of the rognrd In which he was held by members of the Laurcns bar association and the ofilCCl'S of the court. ? . ? THE Til OL LEY LINK SCHEME. The fact must be recognized by the citizens of Laurcns and surrounding towns directly interested in the plans: formulating and apparently rapidly' erystnlizing in the movement to se cure the trolley extension, that oppor tunity is again knocking at our door. Laurcns has some strong and Influen. tial friends, but they will need the support of every business man in this section in order to (arty the issue through, If it be possible to accom plish it at all now. Things look very encouraging in view of reient developments, and thost In position to know express themselves as being very sanguine OVOr the situation. If the line can be brought through to Clinton.'it is pos sible dial Newborry and Columbia avIII become interested in the effort to carry the system to those towns, j In this connection the following ed itorial article is reproduced from the Columbia state. V The business men of Lauretta and Clinton are actively at work to induce the building front Greenville of an intcrurhan trolley line, one of the cot ton mill Companies at I,aureus, opera ting 43,200 spindles, having offered to subscribe on a basis of 2."> cents a spindle, which would make its suh HCrlption something more than $10, 000 to tho proposed line. Information comes to The State that these towns are eager to have Columbia cooperate with them, with the object of obtaining an electric road from Greenville with Columbia at its Soulhern terminus. They say That sooner or later such a line must be opened and that it is to Columbia's interest to work actively for it now. Whon arrangements for electric rail road "oim tract Ion in the Piedmont re-' gions seems to be taking shape. Columbia, of course, ihould not and will not neglect any opportunity to promote the proposed enterprise; trol ley connection with the t'p-couniry would he of Immense common Inl benefit and this city could not afford to he idle j| the slightest chance of Obtaining it should appear. ? ? ? RIGHTS or ItUKAL POLICE. 'Die Advertiser is in reclpt of a com munication from one of the rural po 'ice ollicers of the county in which Objection is raised to the manner a certain case was recently conducted in the magistrate's court at Mountvllle by the attorney for the defense. Without going into the details of the matter, as somewhat elaborated by our correspondent, it appears that the rural policeman was prosecuthig a negro whom he had arrested at a Church gathering, charged With some misdemeanor and resisting arrest. At the hearing before the magistrate, our correspondent complains that de fendant's counsel questioned the right of said officer in going to the church authority as a peace officer, saying Iiis autorlty as a poace officer, saying ills "uniform didn't prove that he was an officer." The Act provided for rural police officers for Laurens county was pass ed nf Hie last ?'???-??i! of the general assembly, and in accordance with its provisions two men were appointed for this county. The officers, we believe, have been doing their full duty and acting at all times within the province of their Mgh commission. They are discreet, experienced officers, and we do not wonder that they feel discour aged when an effort is made to belittle them as officers of the law and ques tion their rights In the premises. However, The Advertiser is con strained to believe that the alleged language of the attorney referred to, who has himself taken a solemn obli gation to uphold the majesty of the law. was not intended as inllainatory and to that extent was misinterpreted. Tin- rural police law is on the statute hooks of the State and it Is the duty of all to assist in carrying out its provisions. If it proves Ineffective and unpopular, it may he repealed, hut it is now in full force. As to the purport " the act and the riKhts of the officers opcatlng undot its provisions, the following ?.\, . from the text of the Act are here giv en : Sec. 3. That it shall he the du'v oi said policemen under the general con trol and direction of the sheriff of Hie COUIlty of I,aureus to patrol and police the county especially i:i tin; rural dis tricts and to prevent or detect and prosecute for violations of the crimi nal law of every kind making arrests upon their own initiative as well as! upon complaint or Information and to report till their acts and all known or BUOpected violations of the criminal law to the sheriff of the county once a week or offener if renuirod, and they shall appear before the court of gen. ' ornl sessions on the first day of each orm thereof and report to the solici tor the conditions with reference to lawlessness in the county ami during the term of the court to be subject to the direction of the solicitor. SCO. I. The said polictnen shall pa trol the entire county at least twice a week by sections assigned to each by' tin- shorifl remaining on duty at night when occasion or circumstances sug gest the propriety thereof to prevent oi' detect crime or to make an arrest and they shall always he on duty for not less than ten hours a day except ' when granted occasional Indulgences or leave of absence by the sheriff. They shall frequent railroad depots, stores and other public places where people congregate or disorder is probable or vagrants may bo loafing or alcoholic liquors may he sold, bartered or given away, and they shall as often as prac ticable ride by houses that are off the public highways and in lonely parts ot the county, especially such as are with out male protectors and shall use ev ery means to prevent or detect, arrest, and prosecute for breaches of the peace, il i n n l< ell Hess.

CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK Much of the butter that is now be ing produced on the farms of this State is of very poor quality. This is not due to the lack of good materials to work with, but is due to the methods practiced. It must be remembered that the Hist essential in making good butter is to have good cream. By good cream we mean cream that bus been obtained from the milk gotten from healthy cows and drawn in a cleanly manner. The udders of the ! cows must be washed and dried be fore each milking and the milkers I should milk with clean and dry hands, lud in such a way that as little dirt as I possible will get into the milk. As soon as the milk is brought into the house strain it through not less than three thicknesses of cheese cloth. ? This will get out all tine dirt and hairs. I Strain into pans or bowls that have i been well washed and sunned and ! place in the refrigerator or the cold est spot possible. 'At the end of twen ty-four hours all the cream will have risen and my be taken off in any con venient manner. If the milk has been kept cool enough it will still he sweet, but under usual conditions, where no Ice is used, it will very probably have j clabbered. If the milk has not clab bered, ti will be more convenient to 1 put the cream where it may be kept cold and hold it until a large churn ing may be made. If. however, the l milk has clabbered when the cream Is 'taken off. it will he hest to churn at once, ('ream that is very sour never makes a good quality of butter. The quality of butter is due largely to tlu? following points: 1. Temperature at which the cream is churned. 2. Acidity of cream. :!. How the butter is washed. I. Working and salting. These points will now he taken up in their order. The churn should al ways he scalded out with water be fore il is used. After scalding rinse out with cold water so as to bring the temperature of the cUUril to that ot the cream that is to be ''I""""".! The temperature of time ream should be such that the butter will come in from thirty-live to forty.live minutes. If it Comes in less time than thirty-live minutes, there will he too much butter left in the butter milk and the butter is harder to wash clean. The churn ing should stop when the granules ot butter are the size of grains of wheat. At this stage all of the butter has come and it is easy to wash, for each grain stands out so that the water can get to it. If the (burning continues un til the butter gathers into lumps the size of hen's eggs or larger, it will be impossible to wash the butter well, as only the outsides of the lumps are ex | posed to the water. I When the butter has come draw off the butter milk and add enough wa iter to Moat the butter. The tempera ture of the wash water should be slightly below the temperature of the cream when it was placed in the churn. After adding the water shake the churn so that every grain of the butter will come in contact with the water. It is best to wash the butter twice. The pur pose of the washing is to get out the butter milk. Too much washing will destroy the flavor. After the second wash water has i been drawn off, take the buttjr out of the churn and put on worker. While It is still in the granular form add one once of the best grade of line salt to every pound of butter. Work salt in With paddle or lever of worker, hut never with the hands. The object of j working is to bet out the excess water and to distribute* the salt. Work un til! the butter has a waxy appearance. Too much wiking will ruin the grain and cause the butter to look greasy. At this season of the year very little if any color need he used, but if color is to he added, it should be put Into the Churn after the cream. Prof. J. m.
