Eighteen Thousand People Find En-
ployment in the Industry.
Australia s great pest is the rab-
bit Not less than $5,OO0,OO0 a year
is being spent by country Of less
than 100000 population fighting it..
According to a semi-official publ
cation exploiting the state of Victo-
ria alone, and it is the smallest of
the Australian mainland states, 49,
600 people found employment last
year in the rabbit industry, and in
the year 9,948,050 rabbits were
frozen and shipped, and 10000 900
skins exported, to say nothing of the
millions poisoned and burned.
The record of New South Wales.
which shipped 11,861,76O frozen
rabbits and 100000 skins. and
some other states, is as startling.
And still the descendants of the orig
inal six rabbits, taking Australia as
a whole, are on the increase.

DIVORCE MILL GETS A BLOW
Disconnected Husbands and Wives
viii No Longer Be Received With
Open Arms iii Dakota.

Disconnected Husbands and Wives
| Will No Longer Be Received With
Open Arms iii Dakota.
| A Sioux Falls dispatch says that
in the referendum of last week the
people of South Dakota voted over
whelmingly to end the famous di-
vorce mill. After the state canvass
ing board meets at Pierre the first
week of next month and announces
officially that the law has been ap-
proved it will no longer be possible
for discontented wives and husbands
to live in South Dakota six months
and obtain divorce in secret.
In the twelve largest counties in
the state the vote on the approval of
the new statute was: Yes, 1906;
mo 1879. The fact that the di-
vorce mill has been worth 100000
to Sioux Falls alone explains the
large negative vote
The new law provides that the
plaintiff in an action for divorce must
have been an actual resident of this
state in good faith for one year and
of the county in which action is be-
gun for three months preceding the
suit
Parties married in the state and
residing in it have the right to sue
for divorce at any time. All hear
ings of divorce cases must be held at
the regular term of court.
The last section of the law pro
vides that if the cause of action |
arises in the state then action may
be brought at any time after the !
plaintiff has lived in the STATE for
six month. This portion of the law, |
in the view of some Sioux Falls di- |
yOrce lawyers, opens the way to
of at least a part of the |
divorce traffic. All that parties will |
have to do under the new law to |
commence the action in six months. |
as at present, is for both to come to !
the state instead of one and separ- |
ate, one remaining and the other |

SUMTER FARMERS SELL SEED.
StTingency Causes Cotton Seed TO Be
Sold in Large Quantities.

SLTau9cnCy causes Cotton Seed to BE
Sold in Large Quantities.
Never before have seen such
quantities of cotton seed hauled to
town and sold as is the case this fall.
l drove out yesterday morning and
met dozens of farm wagons hauling
cotton seed to the Americas oil
mills"
Such was the statement of a citi-
zen here yesterday.
And it is doubtless correct, as one
can see wagon loads of seed for sale
on the streets here daily, while 9TH
ers so to the mills direct from the
farm.
The oil mills in Americas are get
ting an abundant supply of cotton
seed this fall and at a uniform price
.Of 221s cents per bushel Probably
the prevailing stringency in money
matters is accountable for the sale
of so many seed.
AS q fertilizer the cotton seed is
considered the very best to be had,
but the owners have a right to dis
pose of them otherwise, and there is
no objection. -Americus Tlmes-Re-

GOOD ROADS IN MARYLAND
Systematic Scheme Adopted for High
way Improvement. State to Ex-
pend $1,OOO.OOO a Year.

penn 81 ,OOO,OOO a Year.
Ten years ago the building of good
roads in Maryland was begun by the
state geological survey. The results
were an object lesson to the people,
who were impressed with the ad-
vantages of scientifically constructed
highways that they were heartily in
favor of the bond issue of $1,000
| GOO authorized by the legislature last
winter. The new fund is to be used
in the making of 900 miles of high
ways throughout the state within the
next five years.
So Maryland is to expend $1,000
600 year in building these main
arteries for wagon transportation
The personnel of the new commission
OF six members seems to assure the
JudIciOus expenditure of the money.
The state geological survey is rep
resented on the commission by it's d.
rector, DR.. w. B. Clark; by Governor
Crothers, and by President Remsen,
of Johns Hopkins. The commission
is laying out the 1,000-mile system,
and the construction of the entire
work will be in charge of the engi-
neers of the geological survey.
There Was a very loud demand from
the press of Maryland, from the bust
ness associations of Baltimore, and
from the Agricultural societies for
wise CONSTIPATION of this fund, so
that every dollar of it might con-
tribute fully to the economic pur-
pose in view; and there is no reason
to doubt that the fund is properly
safeguarded against political maniD-
ulation.
Twenty years ago we seemed a
century behind Europe in this i'm
portant phase of civilization. Now
many of our states are carrying out
well-deyised plans for road improve
ment. Good highways are money!
savers. BY turning a very poor road
into a fine highway we reduce the
cost of haulage by from to Z cents
a ton a mile. We still have wagon
roads as poor as some in China,
where the cost of coal freightage is
SO high that the commodity cannot
be carried to aAnarket over twenty
five miles away.
