Cotton Crop Unpromising.

The cotton crop in South Carolina
is in even worse condition than
that of last week. The extremely wet
weather of the past week has dam
aged the crop in every section Ut
the state, only small localities here
and there escaping. Reports are gen.
eral that the crop is in grass and
that labor is extremely scarce, that
obtainable very unsatisfactory. ENor-
bitant prices are being paid for la
Dor, with poor prospects OF working
out the crops after all.
Cotton planted in red lands is pro-
crossing fairly well, but all cotton
on sandy lands is very poor and in
many instances grass has taken the
fields.
In general the corn crop on uplands
is good, where properly cultivated,
and fertilized. This is also true more
especially Of the red lands. The sea-
son has been too wet for corn on bot
tom lands, and in many cases the
crop is a total loss.

LAZY GOOSE.
, A QUAINT PLANTATION STORY.
Bv GRACE MAcGowAN COOKE,
in St. Nicholas.

America. the nurse girl at Broad
lands plantation, came running one
morning to call the three children anu
tell them that a wild goose hao
stopped among the fowls in the barn
yard. Pate, Patricia and little lsaoet
pelted away down the slope toward
the chicken yard, where Aunt Vlney'
who always had charge OF the to"ls'
was scattering cane seed. There ne
stood. slim and dark and differently
shaped from the other geese, yet
plainly akin to them, and gobbling his
share of the breakfast with evident
relish.
"Oh, he's visitor" cried Patricia
"and they ought to be more polite 10
him." for a big speckled rooster mad
lust dashed in ahead of the neWcom-
er and tried to eat up all the seed
In sight.
"Never you mind, honey Aunt
viney reassured the little girl. Dat
wild feller got strong wing; he gwlne
be de biggest frog in de puddle, long
ez he stays hyer."
"He gets his strong wings from fly
ing so far" said Pate. If ne was
out in the open, father or Cousin Boil
war would shoot him; but he's home
free here"

asked Isabel

week-sometimes desc hyer wild fel-
lers does"
AS they turned back to the house
America announced that she knew a
tale about a wild goose, and it was
straightway demanded; for her attrac-
ton above that of Aunt Jinsey, the
head nurse, was that she could tell
so many stories about animals.

Married Girl Under Legal Age.

Married Girl Under Legal Age.
George Shaver, who married Pearl
Mosseler of Asheville, and was after
wards indicted on the charge of ab-
duction, was convicted at Spartan
burg of marrying a girl under stat
utory age. The judge instructed the
Jury that the charge of abduction
could not stand, as Shaver eloped
from Asheville, but that as the mar
riase occurred in Spartanburg the
charge could be changed to that, and
It was on this that the proceedings
were based. Shaver was also convict
ed of perjury. The second case grew
out of habeas corpus proceedings in
stituted ;,y the attorneys OF John
Mosseler, in an effort to find the girl,
whom it was alleged Shaver had Sc
creted. He swore that he knew moth
ing of her hiding place and when
she was found by Deputy Snerln
White she stated that her husband
took her to the house on thompson
street and was frequent visitor
there.

Iengthen Hours of Pupils in the New
York Schools.
The December grand jury OF Kings
county, New York state, after the ex-
animation of several members of the
board of education and the principals
of the Brooklyn high schools, handed in
a presentment to County Judge Aspin-
wall condemning certain school meth
DDS. The presentment demands that
home study by the pupils cease and
that instead the daily hours at school
be increased by one hour each day and
the curriculum be changed so that a
large part of this additional hour be
devoted to supervised study. The
grand jury finds that the curriculum
for 16 year old pupils is much harder
than it was a few years ago and that
students are being forced far beyond
their capacity to assimilate knowledge.
Such a system, 1t declares, can result
only in weakened memories and physi-
cal debility.
