cral mines regulation at Of Great
Britain prohibits woman labor en-
ploycd underground.
In German southwest Africa an in
vestigator found many native women
at work about the mines. They were
useful in carrying in loads, especially
of firewood. The woman labor was
cheap, and as long as they we're left
alone to take as much time as they
liked over the work and do it as they
wished they We're all right. Z. .--.
His next experience was higher up
the coast, in west Africa. Labor was
short and they decided to try women
to carry stones. They carried the first
two loads and then they struck.
Those women quite altered the con-
ditions OF carrying stones. They car
ried them for a certain distance, but
three or four relays had TO be provid-
cd. After that they were tried at
carrying sand and things like that.
They went on for a short while, but
did the work in fits and starts.
In another place, also on the west
coast. where women had been tried
AGAINST the black men. it was found
that for carrying in firewood they
were by far the best and cheapest.
There Of course. they were on piece
work. although their tickets were
marked Just the same as if they We're
Oh day work.
Their task was to carry in cord OF
wood day. They used to start about
4.30 a. m. and went on carrying until
I and 7.30 till Q or 10. Then if they
wanted TO get off early the next day
they used to carry another cord OF
wood in the afternoon or a part OF it.
They we're decided success, but
they we're very particular as to
whether the cord Of wood was exact
ly in what they called their circle.
They did not mind how close it was
to the boilers, but if it were a little
over their distance they would go to
the manager and want an increase d.
rectly.
Some women used to carry about
100 pounds on their heads; on an
average about eighty-fve to ninety
five pounds of wood.

German Colonization Company, Of

He is a member Of the board Of d.

He is also vice president Of the Ger

Preliminary Work Begun.
Commissioner Watson returned this
morning from Charleston. where he
went last night with Count Wedel for
a conference with Mr.. P. H. Gadsden
and Mr.. H. R. Jackson, Of the freight
bureau, in regard to the preparation
for establishing the boat line between
Tiest and Charleston. Baron Won
Pills had written the Count fully
about many of the matters to be ar
ranged and these affairs were dis:
cussed in detail. The first thing to be
done will be the establishment Of the
information bureau and it is planned
to have this in working order some
time before the first ship comes into
Charleston harbor. The benefits OF
the bureau will be extended to the
people of the Southern states, as 1t
is proposed to distribute the imml-
grants throughout the south from
Charleston. This matter has been
placed in the hands Of Mr.. Jackson,
who will come to Columbia one day
next week to 60 over the details.

Well. it is not the other fellow who

him pack his goods as badly as he

The disease known as blight or leaf
spot, which Is caused by d fungus, IL
very prevalent and destructive. 1t
makes its appearance at any time, usli-
ally after the plants have been set in
the open field. and many acres OF eel
cry are annually destroyed as q result
OF it's development. The first visible
indication Of the disease is ia the form
Of grayish spots upon the leaves,
changing to brown or burned appear
ance In d day or two. II conditions
continue suitable to the development
or the disease, 1t Will spread TO all
parts Of the plant, the stems win droop
and the entire plant assume the APP
pearance Of having been scalded The

throw mp new leaves, but when once
badly infected 1t never sufficiently over
comes the disease to produce a mar
ketable product When this disease
makes its appearance. 1t Is already too
late to attempt TO eradicate 1t. as much
OF the injury has been done before the
existence Of blight Is pereeptibie.
Under favorable conditions spraying
has ID many instances proved benefi-
cial In checking blight Bordeaux mix
ture and ammoniacal solution OF cop
per applied at intervals Of ten days to
two weeks viii serve good purpose.
Severe loss from blight is noted only
where large quantities Of celery are
grown and handled together, and the
farmer Or amateur horticulturist will
not as q rule be troubled If the plants
are kept In vigorous condition
throughout the entire period of their
growth. This may be greatly facili-
tated by partially shading the plants
up to the time when they are set in
the open field and by planting the crop
on land that Is rich enough to keep up
rapid and uninterrupted growth.
The most satisfactory shade for the
plant bed consists Of screen made OF
plastering laths, with openings between
the laths, The size Of ordinary hotbed
sash is the most convenient for these
screens, as they can then be placed on
top Of or in place OF the sash.
Celery blight generally appears dur
ing or Immediately after a period Of
sultry weather, when the atmosphere
is FLIED with moisture md the nights
are warm. Bright sunshine and a
clear atmosphere during the day, with
cool nights, are favorable for the pre-
vention and control Of blight Any
check in growth will SO weaken the
plants that they are liable to be at
tackled by diseases. On the other hand,
II the plants can be kept in a vigorous
growing condition during untavorable
periods they will be IN much better
