deficiencies, as from the per capita
apportionment. For instance, in Hor-
ry county, the greatest beneficiary
under this arrangement, it takes So, ,663
to make up the sum of S75 for each of
the schools, while under the general
distribution, on the basis of 153 cents
per child enrolled, the amount is only
sS43.5O. Charleston gets nothing to
make up deficiencies, as all her schools
have been paid more than S75 each ;
but she will get Sl,9l2.49 under the
general distribution arrangement. This
unfair basis of apportionment will, of
course, call for further consideration
at the next seseion of the general
assembly.
Hough-Roddey.
Rock Hill Herald Id, Saturday: The
marriage of Miss Mamie Roddey and
Rev. R. E. Hough was solemnized in
the A. R. P. church last Wednesday
evening at 7.3O o'clock, Rev. A. S.
Rogers assisted by Rev. R. l.. Grier,
officiating. The church was crowded
with relatives and friends of the young
bride. The attendants were Hiss
Jessie Fewell, of Rock Hill, and DR.. A.
R. Mclaughlin, of Charlotte, N. c. !;
Miss Mayme Steele, of Rock Hill, and
Mr.. R. N. Harris, of Newell's, n. g..
Miss Annie Miller, of Newport, and
Mr.. H. L. Hough, Of Lancaster. The
bride entered the church on the arm
of her sister and maid of honor, Miss
Mary Barber Roddey, and was met at
the altar by the groom, who entered
from the vestibule on the arm of his
best man, Rev. L. T. Presley, of Edg-
moor. The ushers were Messrs. J. B.
Creighton, Wade B. Roddey, w. Lyle
Black and H. NJ. Dunlap. Mrs. Annie
Lyle Poe played Loheugrin's wedding
march as the bridal party entered.
The vestibule in rear of the altar was
mass of potted plants and flowers and
afforded beautiful background for
the interesting scene. After the mar
riage, Rev. and Mrs. Hough were es-
corted to the Southern depot, where
loving adieus were taken and in few
minutes the proud groom was speeding
away with his bride to his home in
Steel Creek, N. c. The bride has for
wears been the book-keeper of The
Rock Hill Buggy company, and is
young woman worthy the love of any
man. She is the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Roddey of this
city. The groom is popular minister
of the A. R. P. church and is pastor
of a growing congregation at Steel
Creek.

THE STOKES FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM.

There Is Every Reason to Believe 1t Is Co
ing to BE a Great Success.
Representative Stokes made spe-
cial visit at the postoffice department
Friday morning, says the Washington
correspondent of The News and Cou-
rier, TO look after the bidding on star
route contracts in South Carolina. II
will be remembered that for the first
time in the history of the country, the
experiment is being made for the free
delivery of mail along star routes, and
South Carolina is the State selected
for the experiment. 1t was selected
in recognition of the efforts of Repre-
sentative Stokes, the originator OF the
system.
Gen. Shallenburger expressed great
satisfaction at the results of the bidding
so far ascertained. They fully veri-
fy the claim of Mr.. Stokes a year ago
in the house and in the department
that the system could be put into op
GRAFTON at little if any increased cost,
and it is only question of short
time when free delivery will be ex-
tended to all of the $4,000 routes in
the United States. If Mr.. Stokes new
ever accomplishes anything else in
congress, this should entitle him to
the gratitude of the rural population,
not only in South Carolina but in the
nation.
Mr.. Stokes also finds reason to be-
lieve that the proportion of local bid
ders who have captured contracts dl-
rect from the government is much
larger than heretofore, and this re-
suit he attributes to a systematic ef'
fort on his part last summer to arouse
interest in the bidding among local
contractors and sub, contractors all
over South Carolina. He was in cor
respondence with every contractor in
the state, giving instructions aud sug-
gestions. Of course this greatly ill.,
creased his correspondence and labor
but he feels amply compensated for
his trohble in the result Of the bid
ding.

The Mills Plan of Exhibit.

W. II. Mills, who is preparing an
exhibit of the products of this coast
for the Paris exposition at the sole ex-
pense of the Southern Pacific Railroad,
has written letter to S. +. Booth, dis
trict passenger agent at Fresno, ex-
planning the general eplan and purpose
of the exhibit and stating that the
Southern Pacific is not asking for con-
tributions of funds from any source
whatever, but simply wishes the CO.
operation of the indsutrial centers in
preparing its exhibit
Mr. Mills communication is interest
ing and instructive for several reasons
and particularly because he has one of
the brightest minds in the West and is
one of the most public spirited men of
the period. The public is interested in
knowing what the Southern Pacifi,
Company proposes to do under his
guidance and at it's sole expense for
the advertisement of the products and
localities of California. It is explained
in this letter and no one can read it
without coming to the conclusion that
the Southern Pacific exhibit, arranged.
by w. II. Mills, will transcend in every
particular the State exhibit of a saIar-
led commission
Mr. Mills plan is to exhibit each To-
cality for the purpose of bringing out
and emphasizing its speciality. For in
stance, Fresno. as the raisin center, San
Jose, the prune center Vacaville for its
orchards, etc. He tells Fresno people
that while it is undisputed that while
all temperate and warm zone products
can be profitably grown in that section.
they have most to gain by associating
the name Fresno with the raisin prod
uct so that it may become as INSOFAR
able from it as is Malaga in Europe.
Each producing center is to be treated
in the same way.
But nothing is to be sighted The
Southern Pacific wishes to demonstrates
that the soil and climate of California
are suited to the production of food
products that we at present get from
abroad. He quotes the assertion that
California is capable of producing the
sugar for the entire country. He men
tions tea and expresses the conviction
that tea will be grown here and that
American improvements in methods
and processes of harvesting and curing
will place us above the competition Of
the cheap labor of the Orient In fact,
Mr.. Mills shows that he is earnestly
