BETTER HOTEL FACILITIES.
Walhalla Hotel Will BE Remodeled
and Fitted with COnvenicnces.

Just exactly what improvements
are to be made on the Walhalla Hotel
property we are unable to state at
present, but that material changes
and improvements are to be made
at an early date is certain. The
owner of the property, j. d. Werner,
has no information to give out, as
his plans are not fully worked out as
to detail Nevertheless radical
changes are to be made at an early
date.
That the remodeled hotel will be
equipped with wateworks is definite
ly settled. The concrete foundation
and pillars are already we'll under
way for the water tank, which Is to
have a capacity Of 1000 gallons.
This work will be pushed to compile
ton so as to have everything ready
when work on the building is COM
pleted
So far as we have been able to
learn, the main part of the hotel
building is to be increased to three
stories in height, the first floor to be
lowered some 6 or IS inches, bring
ing 1t down to a level with the Main
street sidewalk. The entrance will
have vestibule practically the same
size as the present front piazza, with
iron or concrete pillars as supports,
the floor of the vestibule to be of
cement tile. The Office and lobby
will be conveniently arranged, open
ing directly on the vestibule.
The present ell on Main street is
to be removed as whole. This will
be replaced by two large store
rooms and a section specially adapt
ed as to convenience and arrange
ment for the post office. We are in
formed that Mr.. Werner has already
made a definite contract with the
government for the accommodation
of the post Office. 1t is not definitely
decided yet whether there will be
living rooms over the stores and
post office, but it is quite probable
that this space will be thus utilized
and made to serve the purpose for
additional hotel accommodation.
Plans have not been completed,
but 1T Is understood that all details
Will be worked out at an early date.
This change will be hailed with
delight by our citizens and the trav-
cling public, who have long regret
ted our inadequate hotel facilities.
1t will also doubtless have the de-.
sired effect Of bringing Walhalla
back to her old standard as sum-
mer resort

Wagon Talk F!

Some Reasons Why Farmers and
Others Should Use the Best Made
Wagons to do their Hauling:
First. You will save money to buy
the best wagon that is put up. In
doing this you also save time and
other loss.
For example: You buy an ordi-
nary two-horse wagon for $45.00,
and this looks cheap enough and
looks pretty we'll. Now, then, add
the interest on your money to the
repair bills and time lost, and we
ask you what is your answer. We
venture to say that you are paying
20 per cent per annum, and yet some
people say that they are not able to
buy good wagon; and If you are
not really able, the reason for it is
that you have paid it out to the
blacksmith
Buy MILBURN WAGON, manu-
factured by the Milburn Wagon Co.
1t will cost you around $4,000. Every
part of the wagon is guaranteed for
twelve months, and we give 1T to you
in writing.
Add the interest on your money
to the repair bill for five years and
we lSSi SAFE III say lnS lldI IL Will loI
cost you over 10 per cent per annum.
For everyday use you can run the
MILBURN WAGON every day for
three years cheaper than you can
run lower grade of wagon one year.
An old wagon that begins to go to
the shop is dear property, and If you
will allow yourself to make some
figures on it, you will agree with us
that it is better to make firewood Of
them.
We have now on hand a full car
load Of MILBURN WAGONS, and
they must go in the next four
months. Our prices and terms are
right. We mean business and will
trade If you know values.
We carry these Wagons in stock
at Fair Play and Westminster. When
in Westminster call on X. w. Marett
at the Oil Mill.

THE FARMERS MEETING. /,
Very Small Attendance at the Court
House Last Saturday.

President B. Harris, of the State
FARMERS Union, and Mr.. Williams,
or the government agricultural and
industrial department., met with O.
distinct disappointmeRtla last Saturday.
There were not over fifty men In at
tendance, and scarcely half of these
were farmers. There were some
thirty lady teachers present, they
being there for the purpose Of or
gamzing a County Teachers Associa-
t1on. Miss Mary II. Nance was pre-
vented from being present, and a
letter from her was read expressing
her regret.
Both President Harris and Mr..
Williams made short talks on lines
tnat had bearing on rural schools
as well as agricultural interests.
They are seeking to encourage bust
ness methods in conducting fran
operations, and advocate the teach
ing in rural schools more Of natura!
history and less of Latin and Greek
The necessity for organization for
mutual protection was strongly urg-
ed by President Harris, who gave
numerous illustrations of how organ
ization had already helped the agri-
cultural masses and benefited the
people Of the rural districts, giving
them all they now have OF independ-
ence. Both men were strong in their
fnsistence for the reduction of cotton
acreage and an increase of acreage
for small grain and articles for home
consumption. The Southern farmer
Will never be prosperous so long as
he raises cotton to sell at price set
by others, and at the same time buys
corn and hay at prices three or four
times more than the cost of DrC due
ton. Dairying and stock raising
were advocated as another means to
bring the Southern farmer on a
sound basis.
Teachers Association Organized.
AT the close of the talks by Mr..
Harris and Mr.. Williams, the meet
ing was turned over to the teachers,
who held a short session.
Without much discussion 1t was
unanimously decided that they
should organize, and this was done
by electing the following officers:
President, w. c. Hughs; vice presi-
dent, Prof. j. l.. Kennedy; secretary,
Miss BERTHE Smith
The following members were then
enrolled: Misses Ethel Angel, Mamye
Bowman, Jodie Haley, Mamie Har-
rison, Mary Lay, Lieze Perritt, Bel'-
tie Smith, Carrie Smith and Bessie
Wood; also H. r. Hughs, w. c.

and j. e. Sanders.
The next meeting is to be held at
Walhalla on Saturday, April cath,
at O'Clock p. m. At this meeting
the plans of the permanent organi-
zation will be perfected. Program
will be announced later. Not only
the teachers here last Saturday, but

Lancaster, April S.-The wife of

Fortunately the big dry kiln was
saved. Realizing that efforts to save
the mill would prove futile, all avail

flames. The kiln contained $4,000

plant in thorough working order

insurance. He had carried a policy

Gin Also Destroyed.
The gin plant belonging to Joshua

suit Of the burning Of the Shockley

spencer +. Eddy, i'm a Report TO the
State Department, Draws a Vivid
Picture of the HI-Treatment Accord
ed the Jews, Who Are Made to Paw
Special Taxes and Who Are So Poor
That Single Spoon Sufices for
Whole Families.

Washington, April 1S.-One wooden
spoon sufficing for entire families.
newly born children clad only in
newspapers and the levy of taxes even
on chickens killed after the Jewish
custom are among the revelations
made in report concerning the Jews
throughout Russia, which the State
department made public today. The
report is from Spencer F. Eddy. A
striking feature of it is the reference
TO the extreme poverty in the agrarian
colonies established for the Jews.
"One wooden spoon has to suffice
Tor an entire family" says Mr.. Eddy.
"as the cost of one for each memhsr
OF the family cannot be borne. and
yet wooden spoon can be bought for
one and one-half cents. There is 4
iying-in hospital supported by chari-
ty, in Petersburg itself, where it is a
common occurrence for women n
wrap up their newly born children in
newspapers when leaving the hospitar
Tor their homes. simply because they
cannot afford to buy even a piece of
flannel cloth suitable for the pur-
pose"
Special taxes are paid by the Jews
apart from the taxes common to all
subjects. General taxes are assessed
On all animals killed for food.
1.-THE Jews are not taking the treat
mcnt and oppression with peace and
au'etude," says Mr.. Eddy. During
the past twenty years their opposi-
ton, while unorganized and misdi-
rected, has none the less been So
strong and so unquenchable that
neither prison nor bodily suffering,
nor the whips of the Cossacks. nor
transportation to the farthest limits
Of Siberia, nor even the death penalty
itself, has been able to keep them
quiet. 1t seems just to hope that the.
near future will bring the same bet
terment of conditions to Jews as il
bids fair to bring to the Russian peo-
pie generally"
