Under a State law, enacted for the
purpose of extending the work of the
Cornell Experiment Station, SO as to
give an educational impulse to the far
mers of New York State, an attempt is
being made to establish the study of
nature in country schools. For this
purpose a series of leaflets has been
prepared for the teachers of public
schools, following which the pupils are
asked to investigate how a squash
plant gets out of its seed. to trace the
growth of the fruit-spurs, fower-buds,
leaf-buds, ETC., of an apple twig and the
like. The most interesting suggestion,
as also the most practical, is that each
school child grow few plants during
the summer and study their growth. 1t
is specifically asked that the children
grow sweet-peas and asters, two hand
some flowers of various colors, whose
cultivation is comparatively easy. 1t

Manufacturers of chewing gum are
much distressed by what the new tariff
eeems likely to do to them. The chief
constituent of chewing gum, it seems,
is chicle, vegetable resin or wax, pro-
duced by tree that grows only in
tropical America. This substance is
now untaxed, but the Dingley bill i'm
poses a duty of 10 cents a pound, or 10
per cent of the amount which the i'm
porters have hitherto been paying for
their material. Here alone is enough to
ruin the business, those who are in it
stay, and they are also confronted with
Increased duties on practically every
thing else they use, including sugar,
Wintergreen and peppermint oils, tin
foil, and glazed paper If the bill pass
les, 1t will impose ON the manufacturers
a tax amounting to $4,000 per annum,
and they declare that, as they cannot
raise the price of the product, their in
dustry will be killed outright.

A Ptttsburg paper notes a 100000 or
der to manufacturing company near
Khat city for steel freight cars The
game paper prophecies that steel will
supplant wood altogether in the manu-
facture of freight cars; that the life of
san ordinary wooden car is about ten
years, while 1t is expected that the
Bteel ones will last lifetime The
weight Of the steel cars is $4,000 pounds
and their carrying capacity so tons.
The cost will be $1,000 each, and the
cars will be fitted with air brakes and
many new and valuable appliances
The manufacture of wooden cars uses
nip a vast quantity Of lumber and the
general substitution of steel would af-
ford much relief to the forests.

Seed Cotton TiOlat0rS.

In last weeks issue Of The TINES we
published the list OF those who have COM
piled with the law and paid to the clerk Of
the court the license fee Of S25 to buy seed
cotton. This was done at the request OF
member of the grand jury who IS disposed
to give those who bought seed cotton With
out having procured the license chance
to come forward and pay their money.
This juryman is determined to have the
law enforced and when court meets a.! OF
those who have rot paid in their money be
W.! present TO The co1rt. There IS law
recuimug q license in this county TO pus-
chase seed cott0;., and as long as that law
reua;as it should be enforced without re-
specs of persons. We DO Lot believe n the
law, and think our representatives should
see that it is repealed, but at the same time
il is law Dow. and no one should be allowed
to treat the law with contempt.
There is too much Indifference beng
shown these days about respecting the
laws of the land, and if something IS not
done to correct it soon. all law will be treat
ed the same way aad chaos will be the re-.
suit. There are q number Of merchants
who have bought seed cotton in this county
in violation of law, and yet they expect the
protection Of the Law when they themselves
ar infringed upon. The only way to keep
this county from being run over by those
inclined to disregard law IS to make strlct
enforcement without showing partallty.
We sincerely hope this warning Will be
sufficient to cause those who failed to take
out the hcence to come up and save them
selves the annoyance Of answering ID court

Spartanburg. S. c., Dec. l3.-Mrs. Lee
Jones Nettles died last night at the resi-
dence Of her mother in this city. She was
the youngest daughter of the Rev. S. B.
Jones. About two years ago she was mar
ried to the Rev. S. A. Nettles OF the South
Carolina Conference Several weeks ago
she became quite i'll at her home at Ian
drum. Thinking that she could have bet
ter medical treatment, she was brought to
her mothers home.
The above dispatch will be received by
the people of Clarendon with sadness. Few
of them knew Mrs. Nettles, but their high
esteem for Mr.. Nettlcs sends out to him a
deep and a sincere sympathy in this his
time of severe af1iction.
1t was our good fortune to have met
this lady, and her cultivated and re.
fined manners at once made US feel as if
we had known hGr for years. The news OF
her death is especially sad to US, and our
heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family
and friends. We can truly say that the en-
tire town of Manning sympathizes with
Rev S. A. Nettles in this sad loss.
