nas been selected al treasurer. Mr..
Conawaywasnot a candidate, publicly,
until two days before the commission
met, when Gov. Cummins interested
himself in his behalf Ora Williams, a
newspaper correspondent, wac his
principal competitor. The commission
mas selected plans for the Iowa build
ing at St. Louis, and will begin at once
to interest exhibitors in it.
Important Experiment.
The state agricultural college au-
thorities are carrying out an impor-
tant experiment in stock feeding. A
carload of western steers were bought
at Omaha, and half were put on a ra-
ton OF 1900 corn and the other half on
green corn, the stalks and all being
fed. The plan is to determine the rel
ative value of green and mature corn
in making good flesh. Western stock
feeders are watching the experiment
with interest. Never before were
there SO many cattle in feeding in this
state as at the present time.
Error Corrected.
By a typographical error the secre-
tary of the state executive council GER
titled to the auditors of the state that
the state tax levy was five mills instead
of three and one-half. The error was
discovered in time to save the auditors
of most of the counties the work of re-
writing the tax books. In Polk county
this year the time for paying taxes was
extended four days. Whether this can
be done under the law is an interest
ing question. The law provides that
taxes become delinquent on October 1.
County Treasurer Mckay announced
thatif taxes were paid before October
5 the penalty would not be charged up
against them. This was due to the
fact that the payments were so large
on September 80 that the Office could
not get them recorded properly until
October 4, and this being the case it
was decided to receive all taxes with=
out penalty up to that date.
Children's Homes.
DR., c. w. Mackin, of Ossian, has
been commissioned by the state board
of control to inspect the children's
homes of the state under the law
passed by the last legislature requir-
ing these institutions to submit to in
spection by the board of control and
to observe rules made by the board for
the care of the inmates. DR.. Mackip
has been engaged by the board in maxi
ing semi-annual inspection of the coun-
ty asylums or hospitals, under the law
which created the board and which
was subsequently amended to give the
board power to regulate these locally
conducted institutions. Frequently
the county hospitals are purely pris-
ons or asylums for demented, and the
board has been able to correct some
very serious abuses in connection with
the system.
No New Roof,
The capital improvement commits
sion has decided not to reroof the state
house until next spring. The legisla-
tpre of 1900 appointed a commission
which thoroughly investigated the
needs of the state house as to practical
repairs. The legislature, which adj
journed in May last, appropriated
s2ta,Q9a to do the work. The commits

"Now, as a matter of fac t, the en-

fectly satisfied with whomever the

will decline to act on this proposition
of the mine owners unless he is given
free hand"
Coal Prices May Fall.
Washington, Oct. l5.-Ihere is con-
siderable speculation as to how soon
the effects of settlement of tie coal
strike will be felt by the individual
consumers. An authority who knows
the conditions of the coal industry of
the country intimately predicts that
the prices of coal will fall by the early
part of December to the price that pre-
vailed before the coal strike began.
Bear in mind" said this authority,
that do not say that people can get
all they want by that time, for they
cannot. 1t would be a physical impossi-
bility. But it is probable coal will he
quoted at the normal figure about that
time. Enough coal to fill all the de-
mands cannot be taken out of the
mines in such short period, but if the
miners return to work Immediately
l see no reason why all the coal wanted
throughout the country cannot be
supplied by about the middle of Febru-
ary. If the miners should determine
to work by next Monday they can get
out of the mines in the neighborhood
of 10000 to $4,000 tons day during
that week. Within two weeks they
! should be able to put out approximate
ly $4,000 tons a day, and within six
weeks the output should approximate
100, 600 TONS"

one man who would, if he could, deny
the flag and dissolve the union"

former commission, because the legis-

Music in Schools.
So great has been the success of the
effort to organize orchestras in the
Industrial School for Girls at MITCHELL
vile, in this state, and which is really
a reform school, that the board of con-
troll has decided to give all of the
the inmates, and there are 200 of
them, musical instruction. They will
be taught by competent women to
master the piano or any other instru-
ment that they may select. There are
now two orchestras of IS pieces each.
At the time of the rebellion and riot
at this institution four years ago, in
which the girls gained the mastery and
destroyed large amount of property,
the piano was first carefully covered
SO that it would receive no injury.
Since that time there has been no
trouble of any kind, and it is said that
the attention paid to music is respon-
sible for it.
Increase In Fees.
The fees received by the office of the
secretary of state this year SO far
amount to $201,5o4 Last year they
amounted for the entire 12 months to
but $54,139. The increase is due to the
fact that the last legislature removed
the limit of $1,000 for filing articles of
incorporation. When the Rock Island
system filed new articles, for instance,
it paid fee OF $4,000. 1t is thought
that the total this year will exceed
$25o,ooo.

Back From The West.

Mrs. Sanford Wilburn and her two
little children, Jemimah and Johnny,
returned from their six weeks visit
to Texas, arriving here the 18th on
the noon train from Spartanburg.
She said she left Coppell, Texas,
Tuesday Of last week. Coppell is not
far from Fort Worth, and is some
! POO miles from here, Mrs. Will
burn says she and the children had a
delightful time during her stay among
her relatives in Texas of whom there
ere some twenty odd, all doing we'll.
She says if she were young man
just starting out in life South Caro-
lima could not hold her. She had
some experience with that sticky,
black, waxy soil we were telling you
about stalling vehicles. you doubt
our statements ask her about II.
Mrs. Wilburn visited both Dallas
and Fort Worth while out there, and
she is carried away with the progres-
siyeness and -the-hour appear
ance of everything, and she is to be
excused. 1t would open many of our
readers eyes to take trip to Texas.

on Main stieet just across the railroad.
The sale began Monday at II O'Clock
noon, and in half an hour the sale was
concluded. The lots were bought as
follows:

S475.
Lot No. to Mr.. T. A.. Green for

Lot No. to Mr.. T. A. Green for

Mr. II. l.. Goss for 5000.
Making total receipt for the los
and the shop 3,565. While these 10:
were below their actual value as store
lots the owners got good returns on
their original investment. We hope to
see nice store houses built on these very
desirable lots.
The auctioIIeer spoke in very compli-
mentary terms regarding Unions rapid
growth during the last ten years, and
predicted that within five years from
this time Union will have a sewerage
system, electric cars and rs NICELY paved
streets as the city of New York, and
these lots will be worth hundred dol
lars front foot. Rather roseate view
but we don't care how soon his predic-
tions in regard to Union come to pass.
He said in all his experience he had
never seen town make more rapid and
substantial progress than Union.
