Weather Obseryatory.

A Special dispatch from Washing
ton to The State says Columbia is to
have complete and up to-date wealth
er bureau observatory. Representative
Lever has taken the matter up with
the chief Of the weather bureau and
has convinced both that official and
the secretary OF agriculture that Co.
lumbia possesses railway and mail
facilities sufficient to warrant the es-
tablishment there Of Il meteorological
observatory. Mr.. Lever has received
letter from the secretary of agrlcul-
ture approving the construction OF an
observatory building at Columbia.
The building will cost between s1O,-
600 and sl5, 900 and will be completely
equipped for purposes Of observation.
The agricultural department has not
yet selected site but this will prob
ably be done on the recommendation
OF Superintendent Bauer. This will
be the only building of It's kind in the
State.

Salaries Raised.

In the State Senate on Tuesday 1t
appeared as if there would be de-
bate over Senator Manning, s bill to
change the salary of the supre lhe
court justices from $3.50 to- s3, 500
per annum. One jealous guardian OF
the States finances moved to strike
out the enacting words, and the au-
thor of the bill urged that the circuit
court judges are now paid higher re-
muneration than the supreme court
justices. The cost of living is now
much increased, since the time that
the general salary bill was passed.
1T is easy to increase salaries and
to make appropriations said one
senator, "even though deficit stares
the State in the face. Whena vac
ancy occurred in the supreme bench
many gentlemen were willing to accept
it without question: He Thought
that there was no kick from the
supeme COURT An, amendment was
offered to make the increased salary
SO, 900 and the bill passed to- third
reading.

Hcarst's Southern Kin.

A dispatch from Greenville to The
State says: Mr.. VIM. II. Whitmire
Of this city has received information
of the death Of his cousin. Mrs.
Drusilla Whitmire Apperson, the
grandmother of Congressman William
Randolph Hearst of New York, who
died recently at her home in Berkeley,

Whitmire's father was William
Whitmire, twin brother OF Henry,
and they married sisters, so that
there is double relation between ths
Whitmires and Mrs. Apperson, who
was taken when a child to Missouri.
On June 2S, 1910, Mrs. Apperson was
married to Randolph Walker Apper-
son OF Virginia, and they moved to

their home near San Jose. Mrs.

WILL SUPPORT HEARST.
So Declares Mr.. Phelps stokes, New
York Millionaire.

n Ork millionaire.
J. G. Phelps Stokes, the millionaire
clubman, who has devoted himself to
a life among the poor of the city of
New York, has, in letter printed in
the New York American, declared
himself for Representative William
Randolph Hearst as the Democratic
nominee for president.
Mr.. Stokes determination to sup
port Mr.. Hearst is based upon the
knowledge he has acquired since he
has taken up his life among the poor
and suffering. He has learned the
pressure Of the iniquitous trusts of
the country and the manner in which
they bear upon the poor and needy.
He has learned the exact effect of q
five cent raise in the price of beef per
pound, an increase of three cents a
gallon in the price of oil and the in
crease of more than hundred per
cent in the price of coal last winter.
Several years ago j. g. Phelps
Stokes went to live among those whose
conditions he wished to better and inn
prove. He lived their lives with
them, came to know them. His re-
nunclation was greater than that of
Tolstoi, and the result vastly better.
Two years ago, in speaking of his
work, Mr.. Stokes said:
This is the most interesting life /
have ever led.
1T is deep, whole-souled enjoyment
from beginning to end
Those who render the best social
service are those who have the great
est enjoyment of life.
My work is based OH ideals. They
are in the impelling forces which lead
me on.
II look forward to the time when
the spirit of brotherhood shall become
so strong that we shall have a union
of all the people, not only in politi-
cal senSe, but IL truly social sense
as well.
Politically the United States is a
republic, socially it is not. Artificial
and wholly unjust barriers are set up
by some to sepaI ate them from the
rest of the people Wealth, social
prominence, genealogical trees and
such things are used to create barriers
between man and man"
Actuated by such thoughts, i'm
PEELED by such ideals, Mr.. Stokes has
lived life OF abnegation of all the
things to which he was born, and for
several years has known no other life
than that led by those among whom
he has cast his lot.

A MODEL FARM.
The National Department. Of Agricul-
ture Will Establish Near Colum bia.

ture Will Establish Near CoIum bi n.
The department. of agriculture will
probably establish a model farm near
Columbia upon one of the farms of
Mr.. E. Il. Hyatt for the purpose Of
showing the farmers how to grow
something else besides cotton. The
department. of agriculture is laying
its plans to meet the spread Of the
cotton boil weevil Congress has
appropriated $4,000 for this pur-
pose and this sum is to be used not
only in Texas, but in the various cot
ton growing states.
The department. not only proposes
to deal with the weevil in Texas, but
1T proposes to teach the farmers to
grow something else than cotton, If
1T should appear to the department
that 1t is not able to control the pest.
TO this end diVerSitication farms will
be established in each Of the South
ern states. Two Of these farms are
to be in South Carolina, and the de-
partment has about decided to place
them in the districts of Representa-
tiveS Lever and Johnson.
These are not experimental farms
in any sense Of the word, but are to
be model farms, under the supervision
OF the experts Of the agricultural de-
partment. The plan Is for the depart
men to furnish all the seed, one-half
the fertilizer and the expert super
vision, while the individual is to fur
niSh the land and the labor.
The correspondent of the News and
Courier says of this idea that Mr..
Lever has recommended to The de-
partment as a suitable man to carry
on this idea Mr.. Il. II. Hyatt, who is
a most progressive citizen, living near
Columbia, and within easy touch with
the entire state. 1t is proposed not
only to grow the various crops, but
during the summer time to invite the
farmers Of the state to visit the farms
in order that they may see their prac-
tical workings.
1t Is proposed not to plant cotton,
but only to supplement it. Cotton Is
exhaustive to the soil, and this diver
sitication idea is intended tn demon
strate to the farmers that it Is better
to grow crops In rotation, in order not
only to maintain the fertilizer In the
soil, but actually increase it. Great
practical good is expected by the de.
partment from this plan.

Cotton Goods Advancing.

The price Of cotton goods is advanc-

NO PosTPoNEMENT OF FAIR.
Mr.. Haskell suggested that the next
fair be postponed to the first week in
December on account Of the great
work 20 be done in getting the new
grounds in shape.
Secretary Love suggested that any
change OF time would throw the South
Carolina fair out of the circuit of the
various other fairs to be held in the
fall in this section, and our fair would
suffer from putting out the privilege
show people.
On motion OF Col. McIver it was de-

Local option LItloatIOn.

The local option law, which is to be
submitted to popular vote OF the peo-
pie of Oregon. at the election in June,
1904, is based upon law which. was
recently adopted in the state of Tex
as. The operation of this local op-
ton measure in Texas has already put
more than two-thirds of the counties
in that state under prohibitory ltiga-
ton. It's effect on general business
in these counties has been most disas-
trous, and the communities there
have for some time been endeavorlng
to secure its repeal.
Owing to the innocent appearance
and name of this insiduous local op-
tion law, the people of Texas did not
realize its dangerous character in time

Frank A. Powell, of the Unitarian
church, performed the ceremony in
the presence of the family and few
invited friends.
The bride, who is a handsome bru-
nette, looked very pretty in a gray
travelling dress. The groom wore the
conventional black. For the past 10
years Miss Stanley. who is a thorough
ly accomplished musician, has been
with the Gesner and McElroy orches-
tras as pianist, and will be greatly
missed in the musical and social cir
cles of the Capital City Mr.. Soule is

the state.
After a wedding lunch, the happy

they will return to Portland, where
they will make their future home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Soule, have scores of
friends in this city, who wish them
much happiness.
