A Few days ago there left Wash
ington for South Carolina, five
surveyors from the bareau of
soils in the agricultural depart
ment. This surveying corps will
spend some SIX or eight months in
the state for the purpose of max
ing soil survey. One thousand
square miles, taking in a part of
Greenwood, Abbeville, Laurens
and Anderson counter, will be
surveyed and the soil chemically
analyzed. A map will be made
of this section showing the var
ious kinds of soil to be found with
in its limits. When the survey
has been completed the department
will Issue bulletin for distribu-
tion to the farmers of South Caro-.
lima based on the soil survey and
setting forth the crops to which
various kinds of soils within the
1000 square miles are best adapt
ed. This bulletin will also con-
tain expert information as to what
fertilizers are needed to improve
the soil. These soil surveys have
been made in other sections OF the
country and have proved of great
benefit to the farmers. The sur
vey for South Carolina IS being
made at the instance of Represen-
tatives johnson, Latimer and Tai
bert. 1t is hoped that the farmers
will show a lively interest in the
project, as the department will be
urged to send another corps to
work elsewhere in the state when
the present survey has been com
pleted. -YorkviIIe Enquirer.

RUSSIANS ARE ANGRY
Owing to Lord Curzon's Approval of
Railway Extensions

New York. Sept. 1o.-Russian news
papers are extremely wroth at Lord
Curzon's approval of the extension OF
the Indian railway system to Nushki,
on the eastern boundary Of Beloochis-
tan, cables the London correspondent
of the Tribune They foresee uninter-
rupted railway communication between
India and Europe. Russia means to
have an outlet in the Indian ocean, and
this great railway, which would be in
British and German hands, would stop
the progress of Russia toward the
south. A leading journal of ST. Peters
burg says Russia must at once build
line through Persia right down to the
Indian ocean, and thus paralyze the
ambition of Great Britain There is q
general desire in England for some sort
of understanding with Russia about
Persia, in spite of Capt. Mahan's warn
ing that any concession on Englands
part will imperiI her naval situation in
the far east, her political position in
India, her commercial interests in both,
and the imperial tie between herself and
Australia.
