WHERE RESTS THE BLAME ?
County Superintendent of Educa-
tion J. Edwin Rembert informs us
that sthe school trustees seem hurt

all blame on Them about the chart

and coanty boards are really TO

Il is to be regretted. OF course,

snsofar as this paper is concerned
there has been no disposition. seem
ing or otherwise, to cast all blame on
them and s,he publication of the
facts has tended TO FIX blame or

facts and not the paper must be

dation of the charts did not carry

trustees were familiar with the fnan

districts, it rested with them to
decide whether it was advisable to
eypend school funds for charts. In
our opinion i. was decidedly i'll ad-

WILL POTATOES PAY

Will it pay to grow sweet potatoes
in large quantities for sale at fifteen
cents bushel !? This is question
that we would be glaa to have some
of our readers answer, either affirma.
lively or negatively, giving the
reasons for the conclusien reached.
We would deem it a favor for as
many as possible of the farmers OF
Sumter county to give US an opinion
on the matter, for an affirmative
/ answer may decide the location in
this city of a large starch factory
tha. would consume one to five
thousand bushels of potatoes Gay.
All farmers who have had expert
ence 10 growing sweet potatoes are
qualified to speak, for they know how
many bushels an acre will produce,
the amount of manure required, the
cost of cultivation, cost of harvest
ing and hauling TO the nearest depot.
Therefore we ask our readers to
think of the matter, write out their
opinions and send them to Us at their
leisure.
In the quiry, the price of potatoes
| is fixed at fifteen cents a bushel for
the reason that fifteen cents was the
lowest price mentioned by the South:
ern Starch Company prospectors who
were in this city last week looking
for a suitable location for a factory.
The same price, whether it be fifteen
or twenty cents bushel. will be
paid at all depots within easy reach
of the factory, consequently the
farmer who lives fifteen, twenty-five
or more miles from this place, but
near depot, will be on the same
footing as the farmer at the factory
door The potatoes richest IN starch,
and therefore most valuable to
starch factory, are the Southern
Queen and Bohama varieties, which
are, we have been reliably informed
by experienced farmers, the most
prolific and at the same time the
easiest cultivated. A comparative
statement showing the relative net
profit chat farmer can realize from
potatoes, corn or cotton, at current
market prices for the two last named
products and fifteen cents boshei
for potatoes, would be of decided
interest, and we trust some Of our
readers will make up such a state
ment from his own experience as a
producer of the three crops men.
toned.
Speaking off hand and with only
such random information as we have
been enabled to gather here and there
in the course of conversation with
various farmers, we are decidedly
inclined to believe that there is more
clear money to be realized from the
sale of sweet potatoes at fifteen cents
a bushel than there is in cotton at
six cents a pound. This may be a
erroneous belief and we shall be under
obligations to the one that points out
the error. The average crop of cotton
does net yield in excess OF ESQ pounds
of lint to the acre, in fact. the records
prove that the average is much
less than shat, therefore the gross 10
come from an acre of cotton is only
SIS. We have been informed that it is
easier and far cheaper to make an
acre produce 200 bushels of potatoes
than 250 pounds of lint cotton. con

One of the most important cases that
will be tried by the United States
court at Deadwood at the spring ses-
sion will be that of Mrs. 7. "A. Vaughn,
of Whitewood, against the Elkhorn
Railway company. Over a year ago
her husband was EN- route to Omaha in
charge of a train load of beef cattle.
At Buffalo Gap his train, while waiting
on the main track, was run into by an
other cattle train and he was instantly
killed while asleep in the caboose. The
suit brought by Vaughn's wife is for
10000 damages.
Colonel j. c. Jones, n of the best
known hotel men in the Black Hills,
and a pioneer of 1876, died at his
home at Whitewood of heart failure.
The deceased was one of the first men
to build a stamp mill in the free mill
ing belt at Central City. He owned
considerable mining ground in differ

were rather vague. The chief interest
for him lay in the fact that there was a
certain amount of sale for them. One
