Seventeen Horses Burned.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-
The large livery stable of j. Darwin,
at Dayton, Tenn, was completely de-
stroyed today by fire. When discov'
cred at 3 o'clock this morning the
flames had made considerable head
way, and despite the efforts of a vol
unteer fire company, the stable and al
its contents were burned. The loss
will aggregate $50, 1000, on which there
was large insurance. A large mum
Der of wagons and carriages and an
immense quantity of feed were con
sumed, while II horses were burned
to death.

Pecan Crafts on Hickory Trees.

The Greenville News notes q discov
cry of much interest and value to lant
owners in every part of South Caro-
lima. A newly planted pecan grove
it is first explained, seldom yields
profitable crop before the age of ter
years. w. W. Lyon, of Florida. OBJ
tanned soft shell pecan gratis from
neighboring grove three years agt
and grated them on some hickory
trees on his place. The result OF hi
experiment is q splendid crop OF nut
this year, which means seven year:
saved in obtaining paying crop. Th'
News adds:
"Mr. Lyon states that his graft!
stood heavy freeze and were not in
iured. Whether the pecan will stano
the climate of this section is the ques
ton. There are localities in this coun
ty where it is possible that pecans viii
live and thrive and pay handsomely
It will not be an expensive experiment
Farmers should try it anyhow: II
will be easy to secure gratis, hickory
trees are to be found on every farm
and the work of grating is simple. II
it can be found that the pecan can be
grown here it will pay a big profit
There are many farmers who could
make the experiment, and any who
feel an interest in the matter could
write to Mr.. Lyon, who will doubtless
give all necessary information. II
would be great triumph for Green
vile county to have pecan groves
Why not try ita" ,..
There is no question about the pc
can standing the climate of this State.
They grow and thrive lar north of
this latitude-as far north, we believe,
as the Canada line. They will thrive
in every county in South Carolina.
1t is easily practicable 10 repeat the
Florida experiment, with like success,
wherever there are hickory trees, and
they grow in every part of the State.
It is not necessary to write to Mr..
Lyons ''for information" What is
necessary is for the owner of the hick'
ory trees to understand grating, ortc
employ some one who does under
stand it, and to obtain the gratis
and use them. There are not few
pecan groves in the State, old and
young and doubtless their owners
will be willing to supply all the gratis
that are wanted, for consideration.
It would be to the advantage of farm
ers and other landowners, we sup
pose, to graft the thin shell pecan or
every hickory tree on their lands
The pecan nuts are valuable and can
be readily sold anywhere, while the
hickory nots are not much in demand
except from squirrels.
If the gratis can be obtained oul
moro enterprising farmers in every
county should lose no time in learn
ing how to use them. They can doubt
less get all the instruction they neee
from Clemson college or from some
of the students at the college. Thirty
six boys have just been graduated
from the institution and all Of then
who studied the agricultural course
have been carefully instructed in thi
kind of work.

THE CITADEL ACADEMY.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF
VISITORS.

Health OF the Boys Has Been Good and
Their Work satisfactory-The Board
Makes an Estimate that S2s 900 Will bs
Needed Next Year.
The annual report OF the Board of
Visitors of the Citidel Academy has
just been issued by the State Printer
and as the graduates and friends of
the institution are scattered in every
nook and corner of the State, some
statements as to results in the past
year, present condition and future
needs and prospects, will prove of in
terest.
On commencement day there were
upon the roll of cadets 108, of which
II graduated, were dismissed and
one was discharged on account of ply
sical disability. Seuen others have
left the Academy for various reasons
and a were admitted since October 5,
making the present enrolment 121.
Continuing this report along the
same line, Superintendent Coward
says:
The work of the session has begun
in a very satisfactory manner in all
departments. I take great pleasure
in stating that the older cadets seem
to be carrying out in good faith the
action taken by them last year in ref
erence to the ill-treatment of new ca
diets. I have had no reason even to
suspect that there has been any hazing
done by them this year.
The condition of the building and
its equipment is most unsatisfactory.
The roofing, especially of the West
wing, is in bad condition. The entire
furniture of the class rooms and dor
mitories, the walls, ceilings, the wood
work generally, and the piping, all
need overhauliug, painting or renew
ing.
In view of these things and Of 9th
er important matters, would earnest.
ly recommend to the Board that the
General Assembly be urged to appro'
pirate for the support of the Academy
the next fiscal year the sum of $23, 600,
to be expended as follows:
For the support of 6S beneficial
ry cadets. s...................s9O, 900
For equipment of drawing de-
partment. ...............s.. 25U
For equipment of physical de-
partment. ..........a.....,. 5OO

Irrigation and Manufacture

Another important enterprise for
the Lewiston valley was under
taken last week +. w. ketten-
bach as an initiatory measure To-
Gated the water in the Web Fork
Of SweetWater creek for domestic.
irrigation and milling purposes.
The place designated for the use
of the water is Lewiston. 1t will
also be used TO irrigate the fields
of the Tammany wheat belt; and
the fruit lands south and east of
Lewiston. 1t is estimated that a
supply of water sufficient FOR all
the purposes can be secured. A
reservoir system is apart of the
scheme. Web creek drains Sol
der meadow. That meadow can
readily be converted into a 1cser-
vior to economize the flow of water
for use in the dry season
It is demonstrated by the en-
gineers, who have looked over the
field, that by combining the waters
of the branches OF Sweetwater 5000
horse power can be developed at
this place for milling purposes;
and at the same time all the land
in the valley as far east as Lapwa;
can be irrigated. The factory must
be built by the store and within
reach of the farm before prosperity
is positively assured, The use Of
water not only will increase the
Weld Of the farm hundred fold
but the water power will promote
the manufacture of these increased
products into merchandise. AT
observing business man estimates
that power could be sold in thi.
city at present time for $500
monthly. This fact demonstrate:
lost opportunity. The use o
that power would insure a MONTH,
payroll that would bring prosper
ity to the whole community.
The products of the Clearwa,e
basin must, for geographical rea
sons. lie marketed through Lewis
ton. The ores of the mountain
which surround us should b
treated at home. Any man VIII
has observed the true condition
