wheat. The yields are said to run
from Is to 33 bushels per acre,
and the grain Is selling at an even
$1.0O per bushel.
A fine rain fell Monday evening,
giving us about three-fourths of an
inch of water. This with the show
er of Friday evening makes n early
an inch of water during the past
week, which will insure a good set

SCOtland-OliYet Interurban.


a mass meeting Of citizens in
terested IN the construction Of the
proposed inter-urban railroad from
Scotland to Olivet was held il the
Odd Fellows Hall last night. Rep.
resentatives of the electric liRht
company were here from Wagner,
consisting Of John Absher, +. r..
Phillips and G. Cameron, and an
enthusiastic delegation from Olivet
came over to add their influence to.
the promotion of the scheme. The.
route has been carefully investigat-
ed by Mr.. Phillips who is very con-
fdent that 9 road to Olivet would
be feasible and profitable. II was
only a preliminary meeting and no
one was prepared to furnish esti-
mates of cost and probable returns
sufficiently definite to warrant any
decisive action, but the favorable
sentiment manifested gave encour-
agement for further investigation.
Accordingly q committee was APP
pointed consisting of T.. F. Phillips
and G. Cameron representing the
lighting plant, F. D. Wicks and
DR.. Koobs from Scotland, u.s.
Meyers and Alex Mann from Oil
vet and one member to be chosen
later from north of Olivet. This
committee will thoroly investigate
the matter and report at a meet
ing to be held in Olivet on Satur-
day evening, August 18th, when it
is believed that definite action ac-
ton can be taken. The project
would have the hearty moral sup
port of not only Scotland and Oil
vet but of the country thru which
the road would run, but as a buai-
ness venture it is simply one Of
measuring the cost of construction
against the probable revenues to
be derived, and these facts the
committee will endeavor as nearly
as possible to present.

Henrietta" in this city in the near future.

excellent advantage.
Joseph Jefferson will portray the character
of "Old Nick", the recorniz"d king of finance;
the one great power in financial circles and the
despot of Wall Street. The demands of the
part run the entire ganut of emotions and the
delightful talents Of Mr.. Joseph jeff, r>on will

William w. Jefferson, or "Willie' as he is
affectionately known ty ihcatregrers through
out the country, will be seen as BERTHE, the
Lamb. This character is g comedy creation
exclusivelv.-but one Of exceptional possibIll-
ties. and Willie should bG screaluingly funny as
BERTHE.
The supporting company is by far the best
ever engaged by he Jrtferson,--and that is
saying a great deal, as the boys have always
had a company If dietinguishe artists in their
support. Every character in Tie Henrietta"
is in most capable hands and the general en-

Nh. Thomas Z. Wicker,
Newberry, S. G.
Dear Sir:-Your letter asking what
| believe to he the attitude of the
Government toward the rural carriers,
and especially with reference to the
carriers organization, was duly re-
ceived.
l ain sure that the Government,
and especially Congress, is disposed to
do the best for the carriers that the
circumstances each year will permit.
| am also sure that the government
does not look with disfavor uponthe
carriers oranization. 1t recognise
the right of the carrier to present his
cause in the most forceful and intelli-
gent manner, and this he can do only
through organization, bringing him in
touch with his fellows.
The carriers, in their organized ca
pacity, can render valuable aid to
State and Federal authorities in slim
ulating road building and in making
other suggestions in aid Of rural de-
velopnlcut. 1t is not tie purpose OF
the organization to undella e to en-
force demands, but to present its re-
quests lutelligently aud forcefully.
| speak as u friend of the rural car.
rier. My first speech in congress was
in support of a bill. proposing to pay
rural carriers something like adequate
60 mpensation. 1t WAS one of the first
of such bills introduced; aid from
time to time since, / have aided in the
passage of similar measures stillfurther
improving the carriers condition. l
have felt that the rural carrier was
not fairly treated when compared
with the city carrier, and I have felt
no little pleasure in the Increasing
recognition that he has found IT, con
gress. do not hesitate to say that the
association has given me valuable
data; and except for organization, ]
do not believe that the data would
have been easily obtainable. All car
riers share in the beneficial work of
the organization; it seems but fair that
all should unite in making il as etlec-
tive as possible.
Very truly yours.

Don't Scold.

Mothers, don't scolG. You can be
firm without scolding your chrlldren;
YOU can reprove them for their 'aults;
YOU can punish them when necessary,
but don't get into the habit of perpet-
ually scolding them. It does them no
good. They soon become SO accustomed
to fault-inding and scolding that they
paw no attention to it Or, which often
happens, they grow hardened n
reckless in consequence of it.
Many a naturally good disposition IS
ruined by constant scolding, and
many a child is driven to seek evil as
sociates because there is no peace at
home. Mothers, with their many
cares and ~perplexities, often fall into
the habit unconsciously, but it is a sad
habit for them and their children.
Watch yourselves and don't indulge
in this unfortunate and often %uninten-
tional manner of addressing your
children. Watch Eve the tones of
your voice, and above all, watch your
hearts, for we have divine authority
for the saying that out of the abund-
ance of the heart the mouth speaketh

PELLEGRA AND LEPR0SY.
Historic Scourage Of the Middle Ages
Akin to American Disease.
(Erom the Rridpeport Telegram.

(From the Bridgeport Telegram.)
Those whose school days fell eve 81
wears ago used to read in their histories
of the dreadful coalition OF the leperS
of the Middle Ages, who wondered
about ringing their warning bells as 4
signal for all healthy PERSONS to AVOID
them. The histories used lnVarloie TO
dwell on the "seltishness and brutality
of what were really crude attempts at
segregation and quarantine, and they
ALWAYS concluded with Il glo%rlflcatlon
of the sanitary measures which render
ed the modern prevalence of leprusy
impossible. 1t might still linger in
out of the way corners of the world;
Int if had been etfeclually driven out
of civilization. So said the school
books.
Close upon these discouraging find
ings comes the news that peliegra, the
historic disease of the Lombard Plalns,
which attacks people who iced upon
musty maze or millet. is alarmlngly
prevalent in the South. The hrst
cases of it seem to have been taken LOT
eczema, and this natural failure 10
recognize an exotic malady has led TO
serious consequences. In some sec
tions of the South, it only attacks ne
groes. In others, white people are the
only victims. AS it has never been
known before during all the years OF
white occupation, there is reason to be,
lieve that pellegra has been imported
by Italian laborers and that the LON
baro leprosy" has found a congenial
soil among the most degraded classes
of the population. As it has hitherto
been considered a disease peculiar to
hot climates, there appears to be no
danger of its spreading North. The
situation demands the utmost vigilance
upon the part of the authorities, me
recrudescence Of old diseases which
were believed to be practically extinct
has been in evidence at every stage o,
the world's history.
