Ne recent1v instn1led in our Office

We recently installed in our Office a
new, up.to-date Gordon printing press
Of the Chandler K Price make. ltem-
bodies all the latest improvements
and time saving devices. IL replaced
an o. s. Gmd don, which had done
years Of faithful service and which
was an old land mark Of the Office IA
il were being one ofonr first purchas-
es IN printing machinery. While the
old press had been faithful worker
and material agent In the building
of very humble and unpretentious
lob Office business TO that OF today's
proportions. IL proved in the course
Of its career to be vicious bitter OF
fingers. Before IL had printed line.
while being installed, It made
savage nip at the fingers ofB. Joseph
Pellerin, now Of Lafayette, causing
him great suffering and Inconvenience
for time-fortunate was he, however.
in not losing any Of them. Several
other victims followed, hut the sever
est Of all its vicious performances was
when IL crushed off the ends Of two
fingers for little Willie Nickerson. II
was no fault Of construction IN the old
machine--it was just fate--attribut-
able to the carelessness OF each indi
yidual sufferer. The new machine
has made more auspicious beginning
and il doing excellent work.

Some weeks ago the City Coun
ell issued orders to the Agent Of
the Water Pierce Oil Co., at this
point, 20 remove their storage
tanks, either beyond the corpora
ton limits, or to such site where
they could surround themselves
with the required safeguards OF
tho necessary intervening space
between the tanks and neighbor-
ing buildings.
TO make this order etfectual the
city authorities closed the w. =.
OIL Co.'S office and forbid the fur
ther sale of oil from the storage
tanks. Then followed q period of
extreme Inconvenience to user OF
oil and gasoline.
Just before the primary cleo
ton the city fathers are reported
to have granted a stay Of their
former orders, allowing the Oil Co.
to supply the local trade from
their present storage tanks. Since
then things are rocking along as
heretofore, with no indications OF
any early move being made by any
one.

Crop Statistics,

The crop statistics for the year
1904, issued by the State Board
Of Agriculture, shows that this,
iberia. Parish had 3 $50 acres in
cotton; produced 4,l25 bales, or
only half bale per acre, while st.
Martins average was 10 bale per
acre, the highest average of the
state
iberia had Is, 600 acres IN corn
which gave an average yield of
20 bushels per acre; while Acadia
parish was accredited with GO, 900
acres with and average yield of 40
bushels per acre, the highest rated
in the state.
In rice Iberia had 10000 acres
giving an average yield Of 1000
lbs cleaned rice per acre. The
average yield per acre for the
whole state was SO3 pounds,
Acadia parish fell slightly below
this average.
The parishes out ranking Iberia
in yield Of pounds of cleaned rice
per acre are: Ascension, 1900;
lberville, 1900; st. Charles, 1900.
St. James, 1900; and w. Baton
Rouge, 1890;
In sugar cane Iberia had 10000
acres and produced so million
pounds of sugar, or an average OF
2, ,66G lbs. per acre. On an equal
acreage for the parish 1bervllle
yielded Z million pounds more
sugar.
In Sweet and Irish potatoes;
oats and vegetables Iberia was
not quoted. This was doubtless
for the want of correct Inf0rma-
tlon bearing upon these latter
crops.

Recently J. c. Hundley, who has sew
eral saw mills in Durham county, N c.,
cut four trees that were giants. They
we're poplar troes. One made 1900 feet
OF lumber. another 5000, third 1880.
and the fourth 1S,5OO feet, an averag of
$4,000 feet to the tree. The largest was
ten feet across the stump and 146 feet
high. There were cut from this tree nine
l2-foot logs and one 10-foot log. making
total of | Is feet of logs from the BODY
of the trees. Lumber men say that 500
feet is fairly good average for a tree
and this can give better idoa as to the
size of this giant old poplar when it
made as much lumbnr as thirty -soven
ordinary trees. On one acre of land from
which these trees we're cut, Mr.. Hundley
says he will get all of 100000 feet of lum-
ber.

rier we are offering that paper and The
Keowee Courier for S1.50 per year. The

nal, published on Wednesdays and Satur-
days, gives the detailed news of South
Carolina as special feature, and carries
the full Associated Press dispatches
from all over the world. The combina-
tion of the two papers at S1.50 gives our
present readers, as we'll as new sub
scribers, an opportunity to secure two of
the best papers in the State (three papers

lar price of either. Letus send you two of
the very best papers in South Carolina

Section 4 provides that the plans and
specifications approved by the State
Board of Education shall be com
piled with. / have recently received
an appropriation of $1,000 from the
Peabody board to help rural school
work. am using part of this ap-
preparation TO pay an architect to de-
sign some plans for school houses
ranging in cost from $3.50 to 10000
and as soon as hey are completed l
shall issue them in pamphlet form. l
hope this action of the Legislature
will result in great good to our
schools. Coming as it does / think
it will not shorten the term either. l
notice that the auditor of Pickens
county has discovered that there are
5000 dogs in that county. Other
counties will also show large num-
ber. This year for the first time a
tax of so cents is to be collected on
every dog, 80 the capitation tax on
CANNES will more than replace every
dollar used in aiding the building of
better school houses. l hope you
will give this matter your immediate
attention, as all local tax elections
must be held prior to June l..
can act was passed providing that
where pupils do not attend day
schools, but attend schools for twenty
nights under qualified teachers, using
the adopted books, that they shall be
entitled to enrolment just as other
pupils.
81 wish also to call your attention
to the provisions of an act to provide
convenient repositories for school
hooks. 1t says: The county super
intendents are hereby authorized and
required to select and secure a re-
liable merchant, postmaster or other
reliable person in each township in
each county with whom there shall
be deposited sufficient number of
school books for sale for that town
ship at not exceeding 10 per cent
above first cost; and that accurate
accounts thereof shall be kept by the
county superintendent with each de-
pository.
"More than 20 special acts were
PASSED authorizing districts to issue
bonds to build school houses. There
were other acts of local interest,
among them well deserved increase
of salary for several county superin-
tendents. May their tribe increase.
Altogether the Legislature did good
work for the schools"
