Cz-1 --,ETTS OF POMARIA.

School Town Growing Good
Cotton Market-Free Schol-
arships.
Pomaria, Sept. 3O.-Mrs. F. E..
Schumpert, Of Prosperity, spent last
Wednesday night with Mrs. J. P.
Settler.
Mr.. T. R. Cox, president Of the Po-
maria Oil and Manufacturing Com
pany was in Pomaria for a few days
last week. His health had been bad
during the whole summer, and MS
friends here were glad to find that it
had improved very much.
The directors Of the Pomaria Oil
and Manufacturing Company held a
meeting several weeks ago and
found the affairs Of the company
in an excellent condition. A dividend
Of 10 per cent was declared, and, be-
sides, a surplus was carried over to
the following year. Mr.. R. D. Jones,
Of Simpsonville, S. c., is the superin-
tendent Of the mill.
The editorial, in Fridays issue,
touching upon the question Of those
free scholarships which give more
than tuition in our state colleges, is
one in which a good many of our peo-
pie are interested. It is question
which they would like to see furth-
er discussed, both as to its ethics and
its bearing on good citizenship. Ger
tainly the way in which such schol-
arships are now conferred is open to
objections, for those boys and girls
who most need them, have little
chance Of obtaining them. Only those
who are in circumstances that will
enable them to prepare themselves
for college-those who would proba-
bly, go to college anyway, even if
they do not get the scholarship
stand much Of chance of winning
them in competitive examination.
Mr.. Roland Ringer is now clerk
ing for the Settler Company. He
takes the place of Mr.. E. B. Feagle,
who recently resigned to accept other
work here.
Pomaria cannot boast Of any
churches, yet she nas live Sunday
school. It meets every Sunday af-
ternoon in the Bethel school house.
The enrolment is IS with an average
attendance Of about three-fourtas of
that number. This Sunday school nev-
er goes into "winter-quarters," as
is the custom with some country
schools, but the attendance is
as large during the winter as in the
other months Of the year. Mr.. w. S.
Seybt is the efficient superintendent.
Pormaia changes cotton weighers
each year. Mr.. Albert Richardson
was elected to this position some time
ago and will discharge its
duties for the coming season. He is
an excellent young man, honest and
painstaking, and will endeavor to
give "squate deal" all around.
By the way, Pomaria is one of the
few places-are there any others in
the county, or even in the state?-
in which the buyer pays half Of the
expense Of weighing the cotton
This seems to be an equitable ar
rangement, for there is no evident
reason why the farmer, rather than
the buyer, should bear this expense,
even though it is small.
=: In proportion to her size, Pomaria
is one of the best cotton markets in
tae county, and she keeps the price
well up at the top. Comparatively
very little was bought here this last
week, however; probably not more
than a. third Of as much as the week
preceding. A good many Of the far
mers are getting to the place now
where they can hold, and they will
not sell at the present decline.

Unjust.

Among the proposed bills that the
Commissioners will ask the Sixtieth
Congress to enact viii be one modifying
the present code Of the District provid-
ing for the opening Of alleys into minor
streets.
Under the laws of the present code
the conversion Of these alleys into minor
streets in many Instances means the
practical confiscatiOn Of the property OF
the people through whose land the alleys
are widened and opened. The law says
that such work must pay for the inn
prOvement
1t is generally admitted by all con-
cerned that the opening Of these blind
alleys are necessary from the stand
points Of morals, betterment of social
conditions. ard sanitary Improvement,
yet where the burden Of the improve
ments falls entirely on the owners Of
the property. running into the tens Of
thousands of dollars in many instances
IL is an expense they cannot well stand
If the courts would sanction such ac-
ton, which they have refused TO do in
every instance, IL would be taking Dri-
vate property without just compensa-
ton.
The Engineer OF the District saws that
in the opening of each of the alleys into
minor streets the cost will be from
SIS. 900 to $4,000
1t is proposed by Commissioner West
that law be framed so as to make one

lief that the entire affair was an acct

is said, were primarily responsible. The
States attorney has signifed his will

developed that three OF the boys had
hold Of the reins and were in ad ispute
as 20 which should drive when struck
by the Wagner auto. The darkness or

which the carriage attempted 70 cross
