The State Geologist, Mr..
Earle Sloan, gives it as his opin-
ion that it would be unwise for
Columbia to try for artesian wells.
He believes that water could only
be obtained from granite forma-
tions and that the supply would
be exhausted in few years.
james Vaughn, white, charg-
ed with murder and carrying un-
lawful weapon, was found guilty
of the latter charge and paid fine

Surveying the &. N l.. to Plains.
The Cheraw correspondent in
The State of 18th inst, says: "In
my last correspondence, l failed
to note that in addition to the
co nblnc of the Chesterfield and
Lancaster railroad with the Ben
nettsville and Cheraw railroad,
that the Chesterfield and Lancas.
ter railroad management now
have a corps of surveyors out
surveying to extend the road be,
yond Ruby, it's terminus. The
road will be built as far as Plains,
this county, which is about six
miles from the Lancaster county
line, and on the next construction,
doubtless the road will be put in
to Lancaster, which will then
give Chesterfield county Il COM
plete opening which heretofore
she has not enjoyed. The survey
that is now being made will pass
through many thousand acres of
fine long leaf timber, which will
be manufactured into lumber as
soon as the road is constructed.
Work will be pushed on the road
and doubtless work will commence
as soon as the survey is finished.
This will give the length of the
Chesterfield and Lancaster rail-
road, counting the Bennettsville
and Cheraw division, about As or
SO miles of road"

WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING.
Figures Showing What Other States and Territories are Doing in
 the Way of Libraries.

Arizona gives $50 year to the school library of every district hav- ing one hundred children. Colorado gives one-tenth of a mill school tax to its rural libraries. Illinois allows an amount not to exceed two mills, Indiana one-fourth to one-third of a mill, Iowa one mill. Kentucky gives $10 to each district, if the people raise $10. Maryland gives $10, if the com munity will raise ,510. Massachusetts gives $15 to the district which gives $15. New Jersey appropriates $20 the first year and $10 each year there after. The constitution of Michigan, as does that of Minnesota, provides that the legislature maintain library in every township. Libraries are SUD- ported in Kansas, Nebraska, New Hampshire, the Dakotas, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Vermont. Wiscon- sin sets aside for district libraries ten cents for every child enrolled. In all, twenty-nine states of the union are appropriating money every year for the support of rural school libraries Nine southern states, Alabama, Ar kansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Nfississip- pi, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia, along with the western states, Arizona, Washington
 and Nevada, are doing nothing.

SOUTHERN EDUCATION
SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Some of the POssibi Iities of the Con- sOlidatiOn of the Public
 Schools of the South.

If the country schools were consoG- dated so as to make one school to ev. cry 20 square miles in each county, few children would need | to walk more than two miles and none more than two and half or three miles. There are 23 counties in Virginia in which on an average from two to three schools would be made into one; 32 counties in which from three to four schools would be made into one; 15 counties in which five to six schools would be made into one; one county in which from six to sev- en schools would be made into one; two counties in which from six to eight schools would be made into. one, and one county in which ten schools would be made into one. The rate of consolidation in other SC tuthern states would be as follows:
 North Carolina: Thirty-six counties with an average of from two to three schools consolidated into one; 20 counties with from four to five; eight counties with from five to six; two counties with from six to seven.
 South Carolina: Twenty-three coun- ties with from two to three; six coun- ties with from three to four; two counties with from four to five; one county with five and one county with six.
 Georgia: Fifty-six counties with from two to three; 20 counties with from four to five; Il counties with from five to six; one county with six and one county with ten.
 Kentucky: Seven counties with ~from two to three; 2S counties with from three to four; 55 counties with from four to five; 23 counties with from five to six; four counties with from six to seven; two counties with from seven to eight.
 Alabama: Twenty-two counties with from two to three; 24 counties with from three to four; three coun- ties with from four to five.
 Mississippi: Thirty-nine counties with from two to three; 13 counties with from three to four; two coun- ties with from four to five.
 Arkansas: Thirty-three counties with from two to three, 19 counties with from three to four; two coun- ties with from four to five; one coun- ty with from five to six.
 Tennessee: Thirty-fve counties with from two to three; 35 counties with from three to four; 13 counties with from four to five; one county with five and oneycounty with seven.
 In nearly all of the consolidated schools there would be children enough for more than one teacher. More than half the schools would have children enough for three or four teachers, and a large number enough for three, four, five, six or seven teachers.
 The advantages to be derived from such an arrangement are apparent at once to any one who knows anything of school xynrly

 A friend recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills and MT. Newton began to take two at a dose three times day. In very short time he noticed an improvement; the pains left his back and he could eat better. He kept on improving and now

 "I wouldn't have believed that my baby would have been cured by little thing like that. Not all of a sudden, mind you. Little by little. but so surely. Charlie and I both got more peace by day, and more sleep by night. The sores sort of dried up and went away. I shall never forget one blessed night when I went to bed with Charlie beside me, as soon as I got the supper dishes out of the way and the older children undressed; when l woke up the sun was streaming in. For the first time in six months had slept through the night without a break.

 Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid ney and bladder ills. Read the fol- lowing case:
 Veteran Joshua Heller, FOG South Walnut street, Urbana, H.. says: "In the fall of 1899 after getting Doan's Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros.' drug store in Champaign and taking a course of the treatment I told the readers of this paper that they had relieved me of kidney trouble, dis posed of lame back with pain across my Joins and beneath the shoulder blades. During the inter- val which has elapsed I have had oc- casion to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of an attack. On each and every occasion the results obtained were just as sat- isfactory as when the pills were first brought to my notice. I just as em- phatically indorse the preparation to- day as I did over two Years ago."
