ENORMOUS FIRE LOSS.

he StatSticians OF the fire ;nsur-
ancc companies tell us that the losses
III the United States by fire last year
reached the enormous total OF more
than five hundred million dollars. How
much oi this was protected by insur-
arce against loss by fire we are not
told, but the figures given are sufi-
cient to cause interest, and to provoke
serious investigation OF the cause OF
so many contlagrations. 1t is true
the immense total reached last wear.
which. by the way, was never before
cquaied IN any single twelve months.
was greatly augmented by the San
francisco earthquake fires; but after
deductlng that, the losses were heavy
Another fact which is pointed ont is
that the international Society OF Build
ing Inspectors declare nine-tenths OF
the national fire losses are prevent
able. The South Carolina legislature
several years ago made it incumbent
on the comptroller general to investi
gate all fires where there was suffi
cient evidence OF incendiariSm to war
rant such investigation, but we do not
recall single instance where any such
case resulted in detection of crimi
nal. For several years there has been
demand for law in this State pro-
hiblting the manufacture or sale OF any
but safety matches, to the end that
many accidental fires might be pre-
vented; but SO far the legislature has !
not taken favorable action on the prop
osition. The time is not far distant,
however, when the general assembly
will enact such legislation.

The SOUTHfRN'S RIGHT OF WAY.

The daily papers tell OF a case OF un-
usual interest that was tried in the
Anderson court last week, to test the
validity OF claim OF the Southern
railway that it owns 2oo-foot strip o.;
land from its station in Columbia To
its station i'll Greenville, and from
Belton to Anderson, a total distance
'ot more than one hundred and ffty
miles. The suit really was for a mar
row strip OF land in the town of Will
liamSton, owned by Mr.. James p.
GosSett, and worth only S25 or $40
but the attorneys for the railway com
pany told the jury that it was a test
case, implying that if the road won

SENATOR SMnOT vlNnc.+JEn.

Four years ago. the State OF Otah
sent to the United States senate
MIR. Reed Smoot, to represent tna'
State in the highest Legislative BODY III
this country. MIR. Smoot was mem
her OF the Norman church, and helu
high official position in that organ
lization,-bcing one OF the Twelve
apostles" Immediately upon his cleo
ton. and before his term III the senate
bcgar petitions were filed with the
senate praying that body not to seat
him, on the ground that he was
Mormon, and the Mormon chcurch
permitted the practice, openly " -
secretly, of polyganiy.; y.;,rVer. we and then
mitted Mra committee to investigate
the charges against him, with a view
to eNpelling him il he was found to be
disqualified or morally unfit to be a
senator. Now, after four years in
vestigation, the senate has voted to
receive the report OF its committee
that Senator Smoot has done nothing
that units or disqualifcs him.
There can be no doubt that the
Norman church is very Crank" in
morals. but there seems 70 have beer

& Don't forget about those sudden

way is to scatter seeds and small

Weeds suck up the much-needed
plant food and moisture.
Don't feed cheap. half-spolled grain

lesson.
A good and cheap way to kill cab

Farmers Clubs.

1t vas ny privilege several years
since 10 attend many meetings OF
farmers clubs ih the State OF Michl-
gan, and it may interest your readers
TO learn something Of this club move
ment and how the meetings are Goa
Quoted. In the first place. these clubs
are models not for men alone but for
ladies. and In this respect are models
for farmers clubs everywhere.
At the time OF my visit ! think
there were over 100 Of these local
clubs. and their representatives met
together once year In State con-
vention. The aim Of these clubs was
TO have a social time and 10 improve
their methods OF farming and house
keeping. Usually these clubs met
once a month at the home OF one OF
the members. II, for instance, there
we're twenty-four families in partic-
ular club. they would meet with each
family in turn. Hence It would take
two years to meet with each and
every family. One OF the strong at
fractions OF these club meetings was
the dinner that was invariably served.
II is an old saying that you can reach
q mans heart through his stomach,
and whether this tg strictly true or
not. 1t Ia certain that the average man
finds a meeting more attractive X he
Is sure OF something good to eat.
Providing the dinner, however, Is 10
great burden, for II doesn't come
often, and then 1t 10 sort OF picnic
anyway, and fs worth all 1t costs.
At some OF the meetings / attended
| found that each family took along
folding sewing table and used 1t
as a table TO eat of Of In this way
there was no trouble with the table
problem. and as far as chairs were
concerned the clubs usually owned q
lot OF folding chairs, which were car
ried from place to place az needed.
A literary program was always pro-
yided for each meeting. some OF the
topics being what would be called
"heavy" and others being "light. y
Some OF the children were usually on
for a recitation or two and music
often enllvened the proceedings.
These meetings usually had the effect
OF making the host clean UP his place
80 that 1t would look we'll to the
visiting ne4ghbors. II he was 80 for
tunate az to keep fine stock OF any
kind, these came in for a good share
OF attention from the other club men,
bers. The writer remembers, par
ticularly in one instance, how inter-
ested many Of the members were In a
flock OF Rambouillet sheep which the
host had In fine show condition for all
the visitors TO see and examine.
These meetings are primarily go
cial gatherings, but they are also in
tellectual stimuli to the visiting mem
bers. This club movement is good
one and might be copied with profit
in other States.-A. y. McNa!r, In
Farm and Ranch. ~..,.
