failed TO check the great white plague,
was the startling charge made today
by Nathan Straus, the New York phi
lanthropist, at the annual meeting of

disease.

Some examples show the
increase in the value of surround
ing property. In the vicinity of
a sanatorium in Portland, Ore
gon, land has more than doubled
in value in three years, and is in
demand close to the sanatorium.
AT Aiken, S. c., property in the
neighborhood of the local sana-
forum has increased 400 per
cent. since the institution was
built. AT Hebron, Maine, sur
rounding property has increased
20 per cent. as a direct result of
the presence of a tuberculosis
sanatorium. A similar effect up
on land values has taken place in
other towns, sucha as Luzern, Pa;
Liberty, N. Y; Mt. Vernon, Mo-;
and Silver City, N. Y. AT Ashe-

Benefits of a tuberculosis SanatOtlum.

On account of the present
agitation concerning the possible
danger and detriment of locating
a tuberculosis sanatorium or
camp near an inhabited dwelling
or valuable property, the Nation
al Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis issues
a statement, which shows
that in the great majority of
cases such an institution has a
beneficial effect, not only upon
the sale of property, but also up
on the health of the community.
In a recent Investigation con-
Quoted by the National Associa-
ton, 81 institutions located in p
different States in all parts of the
country were considered. Ac-
cording to information received
from s%anatorium superintend-
ents, real estate dealers, and
various disinterested parties 67.5
per cent. Of these tuberculosis
sanatoria have had a favorable
influence upon surrounding prop
erty, and have been a benefit to
the community in which they
were located.
In the case of %, or 62.2 per
cent. of the institutions, the
presence of the sanatorium
helped to increase the assessed
valuation of surrounding prop
erty. In only one instance has
property decreased in value
and there it was due to ignoranct
of the facts. In % out of the 81
cases, the presence of a sana
forum has even been helpful il
the recent sale of land, and il
only four places has any detri
mental effect on sales beer
shown. In 81. 8 per cent. of th'
cases, residents have beer
attracted to the community by
the sanatorium, and in only three

ployed. The merchants, too,
have testified that the sana-
forum is a stimulus and help to
trade.
The tuberculosis sanatorium
has been of value TO the com
munity in the raising of health
standards. In almost every city
or town where such an institu-
ton has been opened, public
splitting has decreased, more
windows have been opened, and
greater cleanliness in life has re-
suited.
For these reasons, the Nation
al Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis de.
clares that instead of being a
menace, a tuberculous sanatori-
um may be regarded as a bene.
fit to any community in which
it is located, whether city or

The Cultivation of Corn.

ovation ltdl Is dudptCu W Oh
seasons and each year brings its
own problems for the corn grow
err to solve. There are, however,
certain general principles that
are quite widely applicable, !
namely, that ON all average mp !
lands corn should be cultivated
fairly deep the first time and
more shallow thereafter, espe-
cially during the latter part of
the season. The drier the sea-
son and the less the number of
weeds the less should be the
depth of cultivation.
Many men make the mistake
of cultivating corn too deep dur.
imp the dry part of the summer,
thus cutting too many roots and
seriously decreasing the yield of
corn. Experiments made at the
Missouri Experiment Station on
the average upland soil of CEN
trail Missouri show a difference
of nine bushels per acre in favor
of shallow as compared with
deep cultivation as an average of
the various trials. Corn should
be cultivated deep, that is 4 in.
to 6 in. only in case of wet lands,
of wet seasons, of foul lands and
of lands that tend to compact
and run together badly, excep-
ton, of course, being made to
the first cultivation which may
well be of good depth.
On average seasons and aver
age upland soil one or two har-
rowings before the corn is large
enough to cultivate, followed by
a c~ultivater having three or more
narrow shovels to the gang, run
ming fairly deep the first time
and less deep with each succeed
ing cultivation, will ordinarily
give best returns, unless wet
weather interferes. In this case
it may be necessary to resort to
a tool with wider shovels run
ming deep until the weeds can be
controlled, after which the shall
low cultivation should be re
sumed if time permits.

INTERESTING LIQUOR CASE.

There was an interesting preliminary
in Yorkville last Saturday before Mag
istrate T. B. Glenn of EbeneZer town
ship, acting for York township during
the absence Of Magistrate de Loach,
that resulted in the binding OF c. II.
Feldman, an alleged liquor drummer,
over to the court Of general sessions
on the charge of violating the Carey
Cothran law.
The case, which was worked up by
Mr.. ]. L. Sanders, special state con-
stable, Is said to be the first OF its
kind that has yet been brought under
the law, and the probability is that II
fought out on its merits at the next
term of the court, 1t will involve some
interesting points.
The information gathered by the
constable was to the effect that during
a recent visit to the town the drum
mer endeavored to induce several local
people, some of them regularly engag-
ed in business, to buy whisky from him
in wholesale quantities, the proposition
being like this: Upon an order from
the proposed dealer, the drummer's
house would ship a barrel Of one hum
dred pints of whisky packed securely
without marks to show the contents
and the price would be $3.50. 1t
was represented to the prospective
purchasers, that that they would be
able to retail the whisky at not less
than SIS, making a clean profit after
the payment Of freight and other ex-
penses Of something like $40. The
drummer, it is alleged, explained to his
prospective customers how the barrel
would be labeled to indicate that its
contents was other than whisky and
If it should be seized the house would
promptly explain that there had been
mistake; that they had shipped the
consignee whisky instead of ginger ale
or coca cola, as ordered, and demand
the return of the whisky forthwith;
that then the whisky could again be
shipped with less danger Of detection.
Having information that this PROPOSE
tion had been made to several different
people, Constable Sanders, quietly
awaited the return of the drummer by
whom 1t was alleged to have been
made, and meeting up with him last
Saturday put him under arrest.
The case came up before Magistrate
Glenn, as stated, and after hearing
enough testimony to satisfy him that
the Cary -Cothran law had been violat-
ed, the magistrate bound Feldman over
as stated. Feldman deposited a cash
bond in the sum of 5000.

Wagon loads are going out as usual.
Three Of the juries who rendered
verdicts at the recent term Of the
court contributed the dollars received
therefor, to the Episcopal orphanage

There was another meeting of the
board of trustees of the Episcopal
Church Home in Columbia one day last
week, and the action Of the board at
its previous meeting in Yorkville was
again ratified and confirmed. This
was not necessary except as matter
of form. Only half the members OF the
board were actually present at the
Yorkville meeting. The action at that
meeting was unanimous, and proxy
obtained by telephone gave a majority
The Columbia meeting was practically
full, and its action was also unani-
nous. It is understood that there is
to be no delay in the matter of ef-
fecting the establishment Of the or
phanage in Yorkvllle.
There was a large and appreciative
audience in the graded school audito-
rum last Friday evening on account OF
the dramatic entertainment given un-
der the auspices of the Ladies' I'm

of Constance" Miss Elise Latimer the
part of Emma" and Miss Julia Smith
the part Of Mary" Both plays were
admirably presented throughout, and
the audience enjoyed the whole enter

- Washington, February 13: The SEN
ate committee on postotfices AMI post
roads has concluded its consideration
of the postoffice appropriation Dill
The committee unanimously decided
that the revised statutes provide PEN
alties against railroad companies fol
failure to promptly transmit the mails.
The pay of rural free delivery carriers
was increased from 5000 to $1,000 per
year, the pay of letter carriers Of first
class offices was increased from s1,lH0
to $1,000; carriers of secohd-class CT
fees from $1,000 to s1,100. The COM
mittee unanimously adopted an amend
ment providing one dollar per day ex-
pense money for railway mail clerks
when on the road, or away from their
homes. An amendment, providing for
the annual weighing of the mails in
stead Of every four years, was also
adopted. The bill carries 139,000,000
and is the largest in the history of the
country by $1S,O01,OO0. The item in
creasing the pay of rural carriers alone
amounts to over three and a half mil
lion dollars. 1t Is practically certain
that the senate will adopt the bill as
it comes from the committee, but
there is considerable doubt as to
whether the house will accept all of
the amendments.
