GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
Land and Industrial Departments
of Railroads Show Increase.

Records Of the land and industrial
departments of the Southern and Mo-
bile & Ohio railroads for the fiscal
year ending June 80, last, reflect the
remarkable prosperity which South
ern States have enjoyed during the
last few years.
According to NJ. V. Richards, in
charge of the Industrial department
of both roads, there were established
along the lines of the Southern Rail-
way during the year total of ABS
new industries, requiring an eXpen-
diture of $40, 100000 and $7,SOO,OO0
was spent in making additions to ex-
listing industries. During the same
period the construction of other in
dustries, to cost SG,474, 900 was be-
gun.
The industrial growth along the
lines of the Mobile & Ohio road has
been equally rapid. In stretch of
700 miles there have been estab-
lished 55 new industries at an expen-
diture Of $2,123,60O, while there
were additions costing $2,254,7OO.
Recapitulation shows a total of
4S9 new plants established at an ex-
pense of $21, 100000, and a total in
vestment in industries of $35,S0O,-
600 including the amount that went
into plants to be completed later.

FOR MORE EFFICIENT TEACHERS
Head of Educational Department
Points Out Some Defects.

In MS forthcoming annual report
to the Legislature, State Superintend-
end of Education Swearingen will
make plea for increased prepara-
ton and efficiency in the body of
teachers of the State. Some very
valuable suggestions and recommen-
dations are made under the head of
examination and certification of
teachers.
1t is pointed out in the report that
much dissatisfaction exists through
out the State with the present system
of examining teachers by counties.
In reference to the county boards
of education, the superintendent
points out that in several counties OF
the State not one of the three men,
bers of the board is an active teacher,
and that some boards are confessedly
unable to handle the subjects treated
In the examination questions, which
are prepared by the State board of
education. THE travesty on teach
ing" continues the report, "thus oc-
casioned would not be tolerated in
any other calling"
AS to the present standard the re-
port says: 'The widespread belief
that the present standard is high is
not founded on fact"
+ In regard to examinations, he
would create State board of exam
iners to make the certification uni
form. He alleges that third of the
high school teachers are not legally
qualified.
Mr.. Swearingen plan would throw
out of employment nearly half Of the
teachers in the State. The new GER
tificates are to be good in all the
counties, and only diplomas from
normal schools would be good, and
the certificates would be graded ac-
cording to the applicants ability and
fitness to teach primary, grammar
school, or high school, and would be-
good two, five or ten years, accord
ing to ability, fitness and experience.

ENGINE HIT TRAINS DEAD.
Operator Knew of Danger. but was
Unable to Prevent Accident.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 26.-Three
trainmen dead, two others fatally in
jured, five or six cars on a Great
Northern passenger train destroyed
by fire, but every passenger safe, is
the result Of wreck Oh the Northern
Pacific railroad, mile from Lind,
shortly after midnight The dead are
the engineer and fireman of the pas
senger train and the mail clerk. The
engineer and the fireman IN the wild
engine were probably fatally injured.
The Great Northern train from the
coast, which was travelling over tIn
Northern Pacific track on account cf
floods on the Great Northern line, was
due in Lind shortly after 1 o'clock
this morning. The wild engine start
ed west, and no sooner had it left
the station than the operator knew
trouble would result, as a mistake
had been made. but he had no means
of correcting It. A mile from Lind
the engine and the passenger train
came into collision.
According to Engineer Rush, who
had pulled the train to Prosser, but
who was riding on the train from
that point as passenger. every pas
senger escaped unscratched except
one, who was slightly injured.

CONDEMN THE BIG uATS,
Baptist Women Adopt Resolutions
Urging Smaller Hats.

A significant and important Incl
dent Of last Thursday afternoons s
session of the Baptist Women's State
Missionary Union, then in session at
Greenwood, was the enthusiastic ad-
option OF the following resolution
offered by Mrs. e. A. Mcdowell:
Resolved, That the Woman's Mis-
sionary Union, auxiliary to the South
Carolina Baptist State Convention,
does set its disapproval upon the GUS
tom of wearing large and exagger-
ated styles Of millinery in the house
Of Worship"
Mrs. Mcdowell spoke to the reso-
luton and asked the cooperation of
Methodist, Presbyterian and Episco-
pal women throughout the State in
the effort to adopt small style of
headwear for church wear. This res
olution met with hearty applause,
which is not often allowed by the
president Of the union.

Money I'm Raising Hogs.
(LaurenS AdyertiSer.)

Very few people know about the
raising and sale OF hogs in this COM
munity. King cotton seems to alb
sorb the general mind. However, p.
B. Bailey, Of this county, has a pretty
good eye to business. He finds that
there is money in hogs, and well did
h" calculate this year, for the price
OF pork is high. Last Saturday Mr..
Bailey brought in twenty-nine fine
porkers, all just about one year old
and sold them to S. G. Mcdaniel, the
meat market man. The total weight
OF the hogs was $3.50 pounds, and
they brought s cents a pound, netting
$42S for the lot.

few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
