Must Publish Statement.

Columbia, Special.-An opinion OF
more than general interest was rem
,dered last week in the supreme court
in the case of Fooshe VS.. Burley. The
relator, j. Frank Fooshe, publisher OF
the Winnsboro News and Herald, had
issued a writ Of mandamus to force j:
|B. Burley, county supervisor of Fair
Fairfield, to publish the statements
of claims audited and paid by the
county board of supervisors. MIR.
Fooshe was naturally interested in
this, as his newspaper is the only one
published in Fairfield, but Mr.. Bur:
ley steadfastly refused to accede, de-
claring that he was exempt on the
grounds that an act Of 1906 released
him from so doing. This act, Mr..
Fooshe's attorneys claimed, was
merely relating to Marion, and the
title relates only to that county and
besides affects solely county treasur-
ers. The supreme court sustained the
the mandamus, but Judge Eugene b.
Gary rendered an opinion that the
constitutionality Of an act can not
be determined in mandamus proceed.

all skulk behind bars and curtains for
fear of shameless vandals with wings.
The real result, the big result, will

WHEN PEOPLE FLY.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman Takes
Glimpse Into the Future.

Taking a very modest view of the
promised developments, admitting
that the carrying Of heavy weights
seems unnecessary and undesirable
for airships, we can look forward
with some safe provision to such
small conveyances as will carry a few
people and few packages swift and
far. Small individual machines-air-
bicycles, as it were-offer a tempting
and practical field for invention, and
here you have an element OF porten-
tous Importance. Behold man,
winged and engined, buzzing off like
huge cockchafer, to soar and circle,
dip and rise as he will!
Where, then, is security for private
property? And where the bonds that
shall confine him who has long
laughed at locksmiths?
5 Must our windows and skvlights be
barred as those of dungeons? Must
our walled gardens be netted across
the top with woven wire? Whose
fruit trees will be safe when futter.

Spartanburg, S. C., Specialize
cotton mills of the Piedmont section
of North and South Carolina will
close down indefinitely July 1st. and
10 further orders for cloth at the
present prices will be accepted by the
mills. This action was taken at a
meeting Of mill presidents represent
ing the mill industry of the upper
section of South Carolina and North
Carolina.
The action of the cotton mill men
did not come as a surprise, for it will
be remembered that it was reported
in this correspondence several days
ago that the mill men were up against
a serious proposition. 1t was either a
reduction of wages and shorter hours
or the closing down of the mill in
definitely. The mill had hoped to op-
crate on shorter hours and reduced
wages; in fact, some of the mills have
been pursuing that policy for some
time; but it gave no relief to the sit
uation.
The meeting was held in the cham
ber of commerce and nearly every
mill in this section was represented
either by personal representatives or
by proxy. The meeting was held
quickly and quietly. In fact, it did
not become known that the meeting
had been held until representatives
of the mills made the following state
ment:
"At a representative meeting of
( cotton manufacturers held this day
in tho chamber Of commerce it waa
resolved that they will accept no fur
ther orders for cloth at present prices
that they will shut down their mills
indefinitely not later than July lst,
1905"
The closing down of the mills will
throw thousands and thousands Of
people out Of employment, and the
great problem before the mill opera
tives is how they will employ them
selves after July 1st until the mills
resume operation. Had the mills
closed down earlier in the season the
situation would not have been as Sc
rious as at the present time, for the
mill people could have easily made ar
rangements to secure work on the
farms. The employers Of farm labor
lhaye now made all their arrange
ments for agricultural work. .
1T has been said that possibly the
mills have made arrangements to

Deep in the woodland you will hear,
If you but lend attentive ear,
A murmurous talk from time to time,
And all the words will run to rhyme.
BY light of sun and light of star,
The wind and trees the gossips are;
In whispers to the questioning trees
The wandering wind tells all he sees,
For he can roam and roam and roam,
While all the trees must stay at home.

preponderance of the species need
not be based on the natural forest
of the region, for in many sections
this would be evergreen; on the con-
'trary it will, in a majority of cases,
be found most desirable to have a
predominance of deciduous trees in
the school-ground paintings. The
fruit trees should be few in number,
but should represent the species
grown commercially in the region.
If it is not commercial fruit-grow-
ing region in which the school hap
pens to be located, representative
sorts for a good family collection
should be chosen, which in most
parts of State will include the apple,
pear, plum, cherry, peach and grape.
Several small fruits can be added If
! thought desirable, but as most Of
| them are short-lived and demand
considerable care in their maintel-
ance, their value is questioned.
With the tree fruits the case is
different; the planting and main
tenance of fruit trees on the school
ground affords the best possible
means of creating sentiment in fa-
vor of and respect for the property
rights of the fruit grower. A proper
regard for the rights of the grower
to his produce is sadly lacking In
some sections of the country. Then,
too, the presence of the fruit trees
or the school ground will afford ma
teV.al of the greatest value in teach
ing the elements of agriculture. The
changes which come with the seasons
in bud, leaf, flower and fruit all
serve most valuable part in the in
struction of the school. The realiza-
ton that these trees are for instruc-
tion purposes will give them an added
value in the minds Of the students
