John Drew, to whom reference has

Maude Adams, also, has been a stran-

once or twice and then stopped. We

Under the Conklin regime at, the

the Metropolitan, the Lift regime at
the Bijou and the Ferris regime at
the Lyceum, Minneapolis gets some
good things, but, like the libations of
the Carolina governors-it's a long
time between. Comparisons are diff
cult, because most Of the old players
who distinguished the Grand have
passed, but their successors, so far as
they have any, do not come here,
probably because inducement is lack

inducements for Tourists.

To induce tourists from the East.
North and West to visit Florida and
other Southern resorts, each year the
Southern Railway undertakes to do a
little more than in previous years to
make the resorts OF Florida and the
South moro attractive to the people of
the East, North aud West aud this season
have put in service the best tourist
trains that have ever been operated in
the South. :
The first of these trains established Is
"Ihe Chicago & Florida Special" first

and Jacksonville, Florida, there will be
also provided on this train a first. class
coach, which will be of much accommo-
dation to travel between Chattanooga.

This "Chioago I& Florida Special' was
inaugurated by the Southern Railway
two seasons ago, but this season the
train will be better than ever before, and
will do very much towards diverting the
people from Chicago and the Northwest

etc.
The Southern Railway also operates
a train known as the FLORIDA Limited"
which fs a through train from Cincinnati
to st. Augustine. Schedule time of

souih caroIIna's finances.

Columbia, January 1.--with the be-
ginning OF the New Year it ia well to
look into ones financial condition. This
seems to be the way of the world, and 1t
might be we'll, therefore, to get some
facts concerning tha financial condition
of the State of South Carolina.
To begin with, the State is now run
ming on borrowed capital. The money
which was borrowed will be due during
the present month, and the State will not
the notes and they will have to be re-
newed.. The reason is that tho General
Assembly appropriated more money
than can possibly be raised on the tax
levy and all other available sources
The total taxable property for the year
1908, which 10 an increase over last year,
is $193 ,OOO,000. at five mills this would
raise $983, 900, IL all of the taxes were
collected, which is quite impossible.
1902, in round numbers, voted the expsn-
diture of $500, 900 in the aggregate for
any aud all purposes. This amount was
borrowed by the first OF November, not
because 1t was q pleasure to draw it, but
because the money was needed to meet
the obligations Of the State, and the
likelihood now is that overdrafts will
he'o w oO dohSu LUZ W "06b tlt expenses
prior to the passage of the next general
appropriation bill, which will authorize
the next loan.
The State Treasurer has on hand
$192, ,729.47. OF this about $4,000 will
be used for the payment of the semi-an.
nual interest on the State bonds. This
will leave 1922, TOO, which, If all applied
to the outstanding notes, would leave a
balance due of $l73,3O0; but the ordinary
current expenses of the State Govern
ment are $41 900, which, il added, would
make a total of $2lS,3OO. No allowance
Is made for the taxes which will come in
within the next few weeks, but it is to
be remembered that the taxes that have
just been collected will have to run the
State Government until next fall, when
thoro will be the next collection Of taxes
for State purposes.
The General Assembly will have about
as much as 1t can do IL 1t straightens out
che financial matters of ,he State and
gets the State upon cas- basis. There
is absolutely nothing wrong with the
States finances; the State Treasurer has
met every obligation; no demands have
been made for money that have not been
paid; there have been no delays and the
State is all right, but this thing of q
State borrowing money and paying in
terest on it is altogether wrong.
1t may be mentioned that during the
year just ended the privilege tax
amounted to $Sl, l,744 94. Ali of this
privilege tax goes directly and without
interference to Clemson College, and ia
expended by the trustees of that College
for the analyses, and, in addition to the
Morrill,, Hatch, land script, Clemson be-
quest and other funds, for the ordinary
operating expenses of Clemson College.

is deep and thorough plowing, in the
preparation of the land using resn-
lar reversible or hillside plow, which
throws all the furrow slices down the
bill. The deeper the plowing the
more water the soil will promptly
absorb. After such blowing, or
within a short time, the harrow
should be used to give smooth,
even, mellow surface.
1 have not undertaken at this
writing to give the details of terrace
work. This has been repeatedly
done in these columns, but to em-
phasize few of the fundamental
rules that should govern in doing the
work.
One more point should be insisted
on. Indeed, it follows necessarily
the requirement that the work be
done accurately, above mentioned.
Accurate work may possibly be done
with cheap, crude instrument, such
as a rafter level, il exceeding care
and painstaking be observed. But
to do reliably accurate work and do
it rapidly good instrument with
spirit level attached, and leveling
screws aud regular telescopio sight
ing tube, all mounted on tripod, is
greatly to be preferred at even two
to four times the first cost. Such an
instrument can now be had for $1O,
including everything necessary to
use it.
DRAINING.
Now is also good time to COM
mence ditching and draining the wet
places and boggy soils. There are
thousands of acres of such lands in
every State. The soil, wher prop
erly drained, is usually several times
more productive than the adjoining
higher and dryer lands. 1t will
often occur that one crop from a
spoG of this character of soil will pay
for all the expense of draining it.
My experience, while. not covering
an extensive acreage, goes back half
a generation in time duration, deter
mines my preference for regular
burned clay drain tiles. They cost
more at the first outlay, but are
greatly cheaper in the long run and
are decidedly more reliable and
effective. l have in mind spot
that fifteen years ago would almost
"bog" pillow of wet spring and
produced remunerative crops only
once in great while. 1t was thor
oughly underdrained with tiles,
under my direction, thirteen years
ago. Since then it has never failed
to produce the finest crops of corn,
erection, or oats, or barley, regard
less of season, whether wet or dry.

agricultural pursuits, but there was
on the contrary constant tendency
to get deeper and deeper in debt.
Besides the financial aspect of the
case, the social and educational fea-
lures of mill life are far preferable to
those on the farm. The operatives
have better houses, better medical
attention, immcasurably greater edu-
cational opportunities and all church
or religious advantages that they
conld desire. Those interviewed all
express preference for mill life
rather than farm life, and it is not
strange ,hat they do under the cir
cumstances. These things show two
facts: First, that the material well
fare of the State is not injured, as
many were inclined to believe, by
this migration from the farm to the
mill, for not only is the financial con-
dition of a large class greatly i'm
proved, but they have opportunities
to become better and more enlight-
ened citizens. Secondly, it is shown
that the life of the mill operative is
not so hard and terribly exacting as
it has been painted, for If it was
these people would not so gladly
accept a situation which would put
them in a worse state than their
former one, nor would they express
their satisfaction with the change so
freely and openly if their lot was
not greatly bettered.-Columbia

From Farm to Mill.

In the second of a series of articles
on cotton mills in this State, pub
lished in the News and Courier, Mr..
Kohn shows that great majority
of the operatives are from the farms.
There are perhaps 10000 such en-
ployees and about 100000 dependent
upon this industry, and large por-
tion of this number, as is shown, is
drawn away from the agricultural
population of the State. These peo-
pie are hard working people and
always have been, and they are just
as good and honest citizens in the
long run as any other class. The
fact that 80 many of them have left
the farms to work in cotton mills
has often been declared to be a cir
cumstance to be deplored, in that it
tended to decrease the number of
small white farmers and thus turn
over the lands which they worked to
negro tenants. Generally speaking
this liz very undesirable condition
to have, but if the white people so
situated can better their condition
financially by going to the mills no
one can object, and if their condition
is improved the State is correspond
ingly benefited. AS rule the class
OF farmers who go to the mills are
renters, though of course occasional
proprietors are found among them,
but whether renters or owners their
lot is hard one and conditions ap-
pear to be such that they can barely
make living on the farm. Indus
trially, then, they are on the farm no
great factor in the material pros
perity of the State, and Mr.. Kohn
shows through personal interviews
with a number of such people that
their material and social life is
greatly bettered by living 10 the
mill villages. Their average wages
per day are small, comparatively, but
figures show that their income, after
expenses are paid, is much more sat-
isfactory than it was on the farm, for
as rule there was no income from

State Colored College Doing Well.

Thomas 4. Miller, President of
the Colored State College, located at
Orangeburg, has submitted his an
nual report to the Governor. The
report shows that the institution has
enjoyed an unusually prosperous
year, 624 students having been en-
rolled. Most of these we're in the
industrial department, and the report
shows that the State is taking care
OF the colored population in a most
creditable way. The college asks
for an appropriation of $4,000 next
year and will probably get it.
