OPPOSITION TO
 ANTITRUST BILL
INSURANCE MEN OF THE STATE FEAR MEASURE IS INiMiCAL TO OPERATIONS OF SoUTHEAsT- ERIN TARIFF ASSOCIATION.

There will probably be some opposition among insurance men to the antitrust bill which was recently introduced into the legislature by Representative Rush. ton of Crenshaw county.
 Capt. John G. Smith, president of the State Association of Fire Underwriters, has written to various members of the association throughout the state. asking them to investigate the.measure carefully and report their opinion of 1t to him. If a majority thinks the measure dangerous a fight will be made against it.
 It is fe7t among local insurance men that thedA. easure as introduced is inim- ical to the operatioN9 of the Southeastern Tariff association.

agriculture and brought on an average of s1.2O per pound. The best crop brought $1 .6S per pound, and the best bale brought $2.s0 per pound. In 1902 700 acres were planted in the Connecticut valley under the supervision of the department of ag- riculture, and the quality is admittedly superior to the quality of the previous year, and 1t Is believed 1t will sell on an average for s1 .50 per pound. The tobacco Is estimated to be worth about s1, ,00O 900, and there Is an indicated profit of about 5000 per acre on an expenditure, without counting the investment in lands and buildings, of s650 per acre. The indications now are that several million dollars will be invested in this enterprise. giving ex- ceedingly remunerative profits.
 As to Cost.
 "While prices to be realized on the southern filler leaf will not be so high as those realized for the Sumatra wrap- per leaf, the cost of production Is very much less and the profits per acre or per amount invested will be about the same, and have certain information that a large amount of capital is ready to be invested in this enterprise as soon as the department announces the compie- tion of its demonstrative work.
 Such constructive work as this is of immense value and opens up new indus tries in which capital can be profitably and safely invested. The preservation of crops through storm warnings and through the control of diseases and in- sect pests is valuable to the county, but constructive work In building up new industries in which capital can be divert ed is of the highest type and of immense value to the country"

DR.. w. ]. DARGAM DEAD.
The Venerable Physician. fer SO Many
Years a Leading Practitioner in Green
vile, Dies at His Daughters Home
in Anderson.

Anderson, Oct. 15.-Dr. W. j. Dar-
gan died at his home in this city this
morning after a short illness. DR..
Dargan moved from Greenvilie to An
derson only about three weeks, intend
ing to make his home near his daugh-
ter, Mrs. W. F. Cox.
He became i'll about two weeks ago,
but his illness was not regarded as
alarming until two or three days be-
fore his death. His death was due to
old age, and general break down of
his system. He was in his eightieth
year.
Dr.. Dargan was born in Sumter
County and lived there until about the
close of the civil war, when be moved
to Greenville, where he resided until
few weeks ago. He had been a
practicing physician ever since reach
ing manhood, and had been most sue
cessful in his profession.
He volunteered as soldier at the
outbreak Of the war, but being a
physician was detailed to remain at
his home, in Sumter county, in order
to care for the SICK. DR.. Dargan was

acter gave him prominence wherever
he was known. He had been a mem
Der of the Baptist Church for forty
eight years and for large part of that
time was deacon.
He is survived by his wife; and six
children. He would have been mar
ried fiftv years in December. His
children are: V. G. and William Oar

PEABODY FUND IN The SOUTH.
Splendid Work Accomplished by
This Wonderful Trust.

William A. Courtenay, Of Newry, s.
O., who has been one of the Peabody
education fund trustees for nearly
twenty years, is at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. He was Mayor of Charleston
from 1879 to 1887, and was occupying
shat Office when the earthquake
brought disaster to the city. Though I
am a native of Charleston, as was my
father before me, and served in the
Confederate army. would have it IN
derstood that the people Of no section
Of this country are more loyal to the
Union than the people Of our State.
Though it came pretty hard at the
time, we were emancipated as much as
the slaves who received their freedom.
The whole South is now alive to the
advantages of education, and no single
agency has done more to awaken the
interest than the men who have been
identified with the Peabody fund. One
example will indicate the fruits Of the
seed sowing that has been done in the
disbursements of the fund. Only a
few years ago $1,000 was given as the
foundation for the Winthrop Normal
College, at Rock Hill, S. c., and the
Institution now has property valued at
$3.50, 600. has 500 students, and the
last Legislature appropriated s57, 600
toward the maintenance Of the College.
It is just such things that the trustees
of the fund are constantly doing, and
there is certainly no channel through
which pnilanthropic men could accom-
plish more than by contributing to the
Peabody fund. Every appeal for aid
is thoroughly investigated by the gen.
eral agent, and there is no dissipation
of the money in salaries. Some con-
ception of the task presented in the
Southern States will be apparent when
it is remembered that while Massachu-
setts has an average of 81 children to
the square mile, We have in the South
II, and of these five are white and six
are colored. OF course, we must keep
them separated, so that menas two
schools to be established and main
tained. "-New York Tribune.

MAIN STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
Work Temporarily suspended..-Wha
About the Agreement With County
Supervisor
From the Daily Item, Oct. a..

The laying Of macadam pavement on
Main street has been practically com
pleted to Calhoun street and work was
suspended yesterday By order of the
street committee. Council entered
into an agreement few months age
with County Supervisor Scale to put
down macadam pavement part of the
way and clay and sand roadway the
balance of the way from Hampton ave
nue. one-half the distance to the city
limits, Mr.. Scale argeeing to put
down a first class clay and sand road
way on the remaining half of the street
to the city limits, and to continue the
clay roadway from the city limits te
the county line, as soon as the city
should comply with its part of the
agreement.
Supervisor Scale promptly moved
the chain gang to town and commenced
work. He has row completed lis part
OF the roadway within the city limits,
having built a clay and sand road
from the Mile branch to Rev. James
McDowell's residence on North Main
street-one- half of the distance be.
tween the city limits and Hampton
avenue. The city has constructed
two blocks of macadam pavement,
about one. fourth of the work that was
to be done under the agreement with
Supervisor Scale.
It has not been positively stated,
so far as the. writer is informed, that
the suspension of work on the maca-
dam pavement at Calhoun street means
that work on the improvement Of Main
street is to be discontinued at this
time, but it is apprehended by many
residents of North Main street, and
citizens generally, that the street COM
mittee's action may Indicate purpose
to postpone the completion of the work
undertaken under the agreement made
with Supervisor Scale. 1t is true, as
the records in the City Clerk and
Treasurer's Office prove, that the ex-
penditures on street improvement dur
ing the past six months have been IN
precedentedly large, but it is difficult
to see how the city council can aban-
don the work in it's present incomplete
condition without ultimate loss to the
city or without violating definite
and we'll considered agreement to per-
form specific amount of work.
It would seem, at first glance, that
the city is bound to complete the i'm
provements undertaken on Main street
and make good the contract with Su-
pervisor Scale, regardless of the rath-
er straitened financial condition in
which she city now finds itself. It is
somewhat late to be counting the cost
of the proposed work and comparing
it with the city's resources-this is a
matter that rightfully should have been
taken under consideration at 5he time
the agreement was being entered into.
At the present stage of the proceed
ings the thing to do is to complete
the work as agreed, so that full benefit
may be obtained from that already
done, and adopt for the future, until
this valuable and important permanent
improvement has been paid for, a pro-
gramme Of economy and curtailment
in the expenditure of city funds, and
thus keep the expenses on parity
with the income.
