"One of the things we have in mind"
said Miss Russell, lis to establish ru-
raj school exhibit, at some central
point, and here we will gather photo
graphs of schools and school grounds,
and the best specimens of work by the
pupils, especially in English The
best way of going about this, we think
is to offer a series of prizes, and for
the money with which to buy these
prizes we will depend upon the sub
ScriptiOns of A liberal anC apprecia-
tive citizenship. OF course, we cannot
expect to do everything at once; but
we are going to try to do our part in
full confidence that we will receive
generous assistance from the public"
On being asked as to whether she
had seen anything in the school house
line in the western side of the county
that seemed especially creditable, Miss
Russell unhesitatingly asserted that
she had seen several. She saw two
or three in Bullock's Creek township,
and two or three in York, but the most
creditable building she has seen so far
was the WilkersOn school house. 1t
has a pleasant and cheerful appear
ance both on the outside and on the
inside. There is a library, black
boards. some pictures and DianO. She
was delighted with what had been done
and was still more delighted with the
unmistakable willingness of the pa
irons to go down in their pockets even
for whatever seemed necessary.
From what Miss Russell said, she
has great hopes of success in getting
the patrons of many districts to agree
to consolidate, to vote extra taxes to
employ thOrOuPhly cOmDetent teach
ers. and to build up the efficiency
Of their schools generally in every way
possible. She says that she very well
understands that she has a good deal
Of hard work ahead of her: but this
she is willing to do especially in view
of such results as can be accom-
plished in the end.

-. Jackson. Tenn. November Z: Af-
ter months spent in preparation by
eminent counsel for both parties to
the issue. the Standard Oil company
of Indiana will be brought to bar in
the Federal court here Wednesday to
answer to various and sundry alleged
violations of the Sherman antitrust
law. Briefly. it is charged that the
oil company accepted concessions
from several railroad companies on
shipments of petroleum and petro-
leum products to points in the south
and southwest. blind billed" through
Grand Junction. Tenn. The case will
be heard before Judge John +. Nc
Call. whose jurisdiction extends over
the western districts of Tennessee.
and is considered Of equal importance
to the suits heard at Chicago by
Judge Kennesaw NJ. Lands. which
terminated in the unprecedented fine
of more than $29. 100000. In the
event of conviction on all counts the
maximum penalty which could be as
seSsed is $3O.0S4 900. The minimum
is s1.524.OOO. Specifically it is
charged that the Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana received concessions
on numerous cOnSignmentS from their
refinery at Whiting. Ind, to fifty-two
cities and towns in the southern ter
ritory. At Grand Junction. the gov
ernment declares. the shipments were
reconsigned. the purpose being to Sc
cure an unfair advantage over COM
pctitOrS and. as Il whole. involving
violations of the antitrust laws of the
United States. The trial will probably
extend through three weeks and sew

Mr. j. 7. Crawford's Corn.

Mr.. ]. T. Crawford of McConnells-
vile was in YOrkville yesterday and
the reporter took occasion to ask him
about the corn crop Of which previous
mention has been made. He stated
that the corn had not been actually
measured. but a very careful estimate
based on a count of rows, stalks and
ears to the stalk showed a yield of 65
bushels to the acre, or 1900 bushels on
twenty acres. Besides his best patch
of twenty acres, Mr. Crawford had 20
other acres in corn that averaged 40
bushels to the acre, or 1000 bushels,
giving him $500 bushels in all. All
this was made on a five-hOrse farm
with wage hands, who made in addi-
ton forty bales of cotton-eight bales
to the plow. Including renters, crop
pers and wage hands, Mr.. Crawford
runs thirty-five plows: but the figures
given relate only to his wage crop.
The Stock Law.
The sentiment for enforcement OF
the stock law is stronger this year than
it has ever been before. While there
has always been strong sentiment IN
this direction ever since mo fence
was voted some thirtyfive years ago,
it is a fact that but few communities
were dDle 10 get tIle lull piOtS'''oi' -
the law because of the fact that indl-
viduals persisted in ignoring it and
others shirked the unpleasant duty OF
making them come to time. NoW-a-
DAYS it is the exception of man who
has not the nerve to take up trespass-
ing stock and give the owner to un-
derstand that patience has ceased to
he a virtue. Where formerly the man
who would take up stock was consid-
cred to he mean" such men now have
the applause of neighbOrs who are glad
to see him do what they lack the nerve
to do themselves.

remained enough matured, but un-
opened and unpicked cotton to assure
him of fifty bales to the mule, or
hundred bales to the two mules. The
crop was fertiliZed at every plowing
According to another informant the
crop was cultivated by sulky plow,
the driver and his two mules doing
more work than two ordinary plow
hands and mules would do in a day.
Besides, Mr.. Anderson has made an
ample supply of corn for all farm pur-
poses for the next twelve months.
Mr.. Leroy A. Stoney expressed to
People man last week complete conf
dence in his ability to grow 400 or
more bushels of corn to the acre. This
year, as last. his promise was wonder
fully fine. On the acre he had 35, 900
stalks and each stalk had two large
shoots. wind storm OF almost cy-
clonic force, which almost blew down
his residence, prostrated the entire
acre. Last year he had as good prom
Use. but a similar resistless wind ruin
ed the crop. Next year Mr.. Stoney
will try again.-Barnwell People.
Note-To make it conform to the
balance of the story. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the 100 pounds Of seed
cotton referred to, means that much
TO the acre and that so, Mr.. Anderson
has gathered from his 100 acres no.
| 900 pounds of seed cotton so far. But
we can't figure the story out even on
this basis, and it would appear that
! there either must he some mistake, or
there is something else the matter. A

OF Fort Mill. once made thirty bales
Of cotton with one mule. If our men,
ory serves us correctly: but we do not
think he made any corn along with It,

The City Of the Future.

At the international town planning
conference in London, Eugene Henard,
municipal architect of Paris, gave a
forecast of what the ideal city OF the
future will be like. He said in SUBJ
stance: "Light and energy will be
conveyed by electricity. Petrol and
oxygen will supply heat. Liquid air
will keep up refrigeration in every
larder. In addition to heat radiators
there will be cold radiators, which will
enable each house to be kept at the re-
uuired temperature.
"By this power it will be possible TO
proyide in each house n or more
health chambers closed by close fitting
double windows and doors in which the
overworked occupant on his return
from town will find all the HYGIENE
conditions which now he Ear obtain
only by taking an annual holiday.
"Glass verandas of various shapes
Joined together and with covered foot
maths with standard models, will shell
ter pedestrians against rain. and tht
normal height Of buildings will be ex
act,y the width of the street. I'M
roofs of houses will be platforms upo'
which small flower beds and verdan
shrubberies could be laid out. as the!
would be the landing stages for aero
planes. -
"When this progress shall have bee
ACCOMPLISHED, the physiognomy Q
towns will be changed, all terraces wi
become landing stages for flying autt
mobiles. Ayiators will be able to II
from n terrace to another, startln
and landing as they please. The ma
ural consequence of this new state
things will be that Each building w
have to be furnished with big elevate
capable of raising machines when th'
are ready to start and taking the

Houses of this description VIII also
