to have an audience with the county
commissioners and to induce the COM
missioners to make application to the
state highway commission for Stark
county's share of the $150000 appro-
priation made Dy the recent general
assembly for road improvement. Mr..
Metzgar said that Stark county is
entitled to about $1,700 of this money
for the Improvement of highways.
The state law provides that the ap-
plication for county's share must be
in the hands of the state commission
not later than April so. Either the
county commissioners or a property
owner may make application for the
county's share. If a property owner
does make application, that applica
tion must have the approval of the
county commissioners.
Mr.. Metzgar is vice president of
the Massillon Good Roads association,
which aims to have some road, not
yet determined upon, improved TO
some extent during the next year. The

Big Cotton Company.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. "a move
ment "To maintain profitable price
for cotton against the conspiracies of
Wall street," was inaugurated this
evening at meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Southern Cot
ton Association. The method of ac-
complishing this purpose will be the
formation of the Southern Cotton
Company, with capital of one hun
dred million dollars to build ware
houses, buy up cotton and otherwise
regulate the selling, so cotton can be
traded in on the basis of it's intrinsic
value. All cotton States were rep
resented at the meeting. The stock
is to be five dollars a share. After
discussing the plan it was decided to
defer final action until the meeting
of the committee in January.

CoIored Troops 0usted.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Unprecedented in the history of the
army is the action of the President
in dismissing in disgrace an entire
battalion of colored troops because
of their failure to disclose the iden-
tity of some of their number, guilty
Of violence and murder.
As an evidence of his intention to
be fair, the President accompanied
this action by an order which may
amount to the court-martial of a
white officer charged with casting
slurs on colored troops.
The action of the President fol-
lowed the report of the investigation
made by Brig. Gen. Darlington rela-
tive to the riotous disturbance that
occurred at Brownsville, Texas, Au-
gust 13, resulting in the death of one
and wounding of another citizen.
Gen. Darlington recommends that
every member of Companies B, c
and d, of the Twentieth Infantry,
serving at Brownsville, be discharged
and disbarred forever from re- e-enlist-
ing or serving in a civil capacity
under the government.

Col. VIM. L. Pitcher regarding the
statement attributed to him by the

instructed tho Auditors to push the mat

or ton counties from which no returns
have been made, but MIR. Jones has sent
out a letter to every Auditor in the State,
80 that even those who have sent in their
returns are instructed to see that the
lists from their counties are complete.
The letter follows:
To County Auditors: All persons liable
for the payment of the income tax as
provided by Code of Laws, S. c., Volume

have refused or neglected to make re-
turns for said tax must be made to com

Arb0r Day.

The State Superintendent of Edu-
cation has sent letter to county
superintendcnts and teachers calling
attention to the statute providing for
the observance of Arbor Day. He
says:
"Inasmuch as this day is so near
to Thanksgiving Day it might be
well to combine their celebration on
the date best suited to your condi-
tions. 1t will be an appropriate oc.
casion to invite patrons and to take
steps for permanent school improve
ments. 1t will be profitable to have
the children collect in leaf or book
albums as many different kinds of
leaves as possible, and in addition to
teaching them the various kinds of
trees that grow in South Carolina
the leaves may also be used for spell
ing or drawing lessons, and an ex-
hibit of this work will form part of
your entertainment of visitors. An
exhibit of the various kinds of wood
might be collected, and pupils might
make some useful articles of school
or household furniture, as pointers,
inkstands, rules, gavels, bookcases,
shelves, brackets, etc.
"The chief object of the Legisla-
ture seems to be to teach the value
of flowers, shrubbery and shade trees.
There are hundreds of school houses
in this State located in open fields
with bleak surroundings, and it is
hoped that this number may be
greatly diminished by the celebra-
tion of Arbor Day.
"We ought to take advantage Of
this occasion, not only to make senti-
ment, but to raise funds to improve
and beautify the schools. Each child
could bring coin, a collection may
be taken, or refreshments served and
the proceeds used to purchase pic
lures, buy shrubbery, paint houses,
fences, etc. 1t would be especially
appropriate to raise money for libra
ries."
The school children and sunshine
societies that contributed to funds to
send the crippled child, Pratt Bur-
'dette, to the hospital will be de.
lighted to know that he can walk
and is going to school. Pratt lay on
bed, suffering untold agony, for
two years, and no one ever thought
he could be cured. See what a great
work few pennies, in the hands of
sunshine society, can do!

Estate Left by Mrs. Davis.

Richmond. Nov. 3.-For some years
considerable curiosity has existed as to
the probable wealth of Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, widow of the Confederate Presi-
dent Mrs. Davis acknowledged during
the latter years of her life that she was
continually pressed for money, and that
she was obliged to supplement her in
come with her pen. 1t is copservativex
estimated by persons close to Mrs. DAVIS
that she left an estate worth at least
$4,000. 1t is safe to presume that her
income from her Mississippi plantation
brought her in "a 900 year.
In addition to the tangible estate of
Mrs. Davis, which, it is believed. con-
sisted largely of realty, she had fine
collection of manuscripts, documents
and letters, which possess historical
value, naturally, all the papers of her
husband at his death, and these arc
daily enhancing in value.
