Columbia. Oct. 7.-Compiiation of

during the current school year be
ontitlod 20 designation as state high
schools Is the matter which will prin-
eipally engage the attention OF the
state Board OF Education at the
SPECIAL meeting to be held Friday af-
ternoon at the Capitol.
Last year there were 131 such
schools. irregularly distributed among
40 counties. II Is hoped that this
year there will be none Of the 40
counties without at least one State
high school. Richland has not had
one hitherto. because none OF the
school districts would vote the re-
auisite two mill tax. but this year
shandon has complied with that re-
quirement and will be listed. II the
board shall consider the teaching
staff adequate.

THE SOUTH.

(From Manufacturers Record, Sep

with grain crop this year aggre-
eating 100000 bushels or more,
with cotton crop which will bring
into the South between $500, 100000
and $1,000, 100000, with a total value
Of agricultural products for this
year running between $2.75O, 900, 900
and $4,000, 100000, the South will
have by far the largest income ever
received by it from agriculture, as
suring greater prosperity to the farm
ers of this section than they have i'm
the past, and thus to all business in
terest dependent upon agriculture
AS late as 1900 the total value of
the South's agricultural products
was $1.271, 100000. The output this
year will be largely more than double
that Contrast the figures of 1910
with the total Of 1890, of $773,O0O,-
600, and we get a fair conception Of
the wonderful advance made by the
agricultural interests of this section
in the last twenty years.
This years cotton crop will ex-
ceed by s150,OOO.OO to 5000, 600, 600
the total value of all agricultural
products of the South in 1890.
This years grain crop will exceed
the total value Of all it's agricultural
products in 1890.
Omitting the value of the cotton
crop this year, the total value of
other agricultural products will ap-
proximate s1.75O,OOO. 900, or some
$500,000.000 more for diversified
crops than the total agricultural out
put of 1900, cotton included.
Possibly the magnitude of this
years farm product values in the
South will be the better grasped
from the simple statement that they
will exceed by at least $500, 900, 900
the total value of all farm crops Of
thC OHltcu states III l8lU.
Surely thes are wonderful figures.
They are only indicative, however. Of
the general advance of the South.
They give a reason for much of its
progress in city building and indus
trial activity.
With such a foundation on which
to build, with such increasing pros
perity among the farmers, 1t Is diff
cult to set any limit to the possibili :.
ties of the growth Of the South dur
ing the next ten years. 1t has now
solved the troublesome problems
that confronted its agricultural inter-
ests ten years ago. It has secured
the worlds recognition of a profit
able price for cotton. It has found
a way to diversity it's agriculture to
such an extent that it is no longer
compelled to make cotton its only
money crop. but it can turn its at
tention from cotton to other inter-
ests to equal profit. 1t is entering up-
on a period of increasing agricul-
tural prosperity of expansion in all

growth of cities and of a trend of

Thomas II. Cave. jr., Republican, was
to-day elected representative from Barre
City to tine legislature Of 1910, after a
close fight, over Donald Smith, Demo
erat. That was the only interest taken
in to-day's September election in Barre.
Only light vote was polled. There
was no excitement over the state ticket,
due to teh apathy Of Republicans over
the party candidate for governor, John
A. Mead Of Rutland. There were indi-
cations early that Mead was being cut
BY members Of his party, either BY be-
ing refused votes or BY their voting for
Watson, the Democratic nominee.
Cave carried four Of the six wards Of
the city, his vote in the second ward
giving him the victory Curiously
enough. each candidate lost his own ward,
Cave losing the third to his opponent
by four votes and Smith losing the first
BY seven votes.
The polls opened at . this morning

v Barr is dead, aud bis wife lies in

tered the house for bis dinner. When
be opened the door he was met by
sitting fumes Of gas, and in front Of
him on the floor he saw the body Of
his father clad only in his night clothes.
Dr. Barr at once threw open the doors
and the windows in the kitcnen. and
then. rushing into the bedroom, found
his mother living. on the floor. Drs.
Ghidella, Lamb and Archambanlt were
quickly summoned. and they found that
Mr.. Barr was dead, but Mrs Barr was
still alive, though barely breathing. The
physicians at once went 70 work on her,
and at o'clock she began to show
some signs Of reviying and II Is thought
that she will recover.

rushed out into the kitchen to turn Oft
the gas, but was overcome before ne
reached the stove The physicians say
that he had been dead ahont three hours
