A COTTON EDUCATION.
South Carolina Girl Paid Her Way
Throrg.l College.
.(Nashville Tennesseean.)

Not only the boys, but the girls as
well, play an important part in the
farming industry, as shown by a girl
in South Carolina, who, desiring to
pay her own way at college, cultivat-
ed an acre in cotton, and succeeded
in doing what she desired to do The
story Is related in her own words as
follows:
II have always had a desire to get
a college education, but wanted to
earn the money to meet my expenses.
| thought over the subject and de-
cided to plant one acre Of cotton.
asked papa what he thought about it,
and when he said, Good for you,'
felt very much encouraged had a
horse Of my own. hired the plow-
ing done, and gave papa the seed
each year for the fertilizer and rent.
"In April, 1908, planted my first
acre Of cotton. 1t is needless to say
| watched it very carefully when it
began to come up. chopped it out
myself, two feet in the drill 1t look
ed very small for long time, and
began to lose hope, although / did
not say anything about it. One day
papa came in and said, Minnie, do
you know you are going to make
more on your acre OF cotton than |
will on the one next to it?' This was
very encouraging. BY and by it be-
po tn srrn 20 oct
inc my delight when found | had
the first cotton blossoms on the farm.
BY the last Of August my cotton was
as high as my head and Tapped in
rows four feet wide ] knew was
going to get rich at once
''In September and October l had
1t picked and found to my delight |
had made one and one-half bales.
thought | was the wealthiest girl in
Lexington county, TO have bale and
a half of my very own cotton. Cot
ton was low that fall I decided to
hold it until ! got 3 cents, which |
did next July. | deposited my money
in the bank at 4 per cent interest.
Each year since | have planted Just
one acre Of cotton and have always
made bale each year. This year
father says l shall get almost two
bales. / think am real farmer.
81 have paid my expenses two ses-
sions in the high school, and had
money left over EACH eyar. When |
left home i went to check my money
out of the bank to make my first
payment of college dues, and found
had S75.9S. This necessitated my
borrowing two cents from papa.
feel sure | shall make enough on my
cotton patch this year to meet my
second term payment, ana pay part,
If not all, Of my dues for another
session. Estimating that the cotton
this year will bring me $14O, / will
have made $293 in three years, clear
of expenses. This IS only one instance
of what may be done on an acre of
land"

in the steerage. The stewards who heard
the shot ran 10 the Compa0ionway and
caught Mancour just as he staggered to
the deck
The bullet entered the base of his neck on
the left side and c1t out by the ships
surgeon half an inch below the skin on the
right side. It was thought that he would
die, but he rallied and was in good condi-
ton when taken TO the hospital at Ellis
Island yesterday after the Voltaire docked.
The shooting, il was said. was due 10 the
attentions Of the Turk to Maria Scarfo, the
wife of the man who did the shooting. As
soon as the shot was fired the woman took
the revolver from her husband and threw
ii into the sea Scarfo was locked up by
Captain James and was turned over to the
