FROA OTHER PENS
LAND FOR THE LANDLEss.

While Canada is flooding the agricuI-
tural countries of the world with ad-
vertisements describing the vast areas
of free land which she offers to emil
grants, our government is doing little
or nothing to call attention to the fact
that there are millions of acres quite
as fertile and equally free to settlers in
the United States. Certain writer's
have mournfully declared that there are
no longer any unoccupied wheat lands
in this country, and as these state
ments pass uncontradicted here at
home 1t is entirely likely that they find
acceptance abroad.
AS against these misleading stories
please consider the plain facts. There
are millions upon millions of acres Of
splendid wheat lands still open to
homeseekers in several of our richest
agricultural states. In the Panhandle
OF Texas alone there are more than T.
000. 600 acres. Nebraska, the Dakotas
and Washington all contain extensive
areas of fertile land awaiting settlers
and other states have vast tracts now
used for grazing which can easily be
transformed into grain fields. 1t is al
most a sin that at a time like this
when there is need of increase in our

waiting lands.-New York Mail
RAILWAY LOANS IN FRANCE.
way securities among French investors
is one of the most Interesting of recent
financial developments. This country
has drawn comparatively little upon
the enormous thrift of the French. The
foreign capital that has gone into our
railway development has in a very
large proportion come from London
Though some of the great railways,
like the Pennsylvania, have heretofore
negotiated loans in Paris, American Sc
curities generally have had scanty Of
fetal recognition on the bourse. The
recent movement in this direction
comes from the French bankers them
selves, to whom the value of our lead
ing railway bonds has increasingly ap-
preciated.
The various large loans recently
negotiated in Paris indicate an impor-
tant widening of the sources of supply
for the new capital which the growth
of transportation requirements in this
country urgently demands. All the

necessity of immediate extensions and

ONE WEEK OFF FOR CHRISTINA:
No Matters Of Grave Importance Are
Brought Before the Board at les
Meeting In the once Of County 81
perintendent Graham Saturday.

| The County Board of Education mel
in the office of the County Superin
tendent Saturday and spent some
time in discussing the advisability OF
equalizing the amount OF school mon.
ey due the several districts. There
are several districts that have more
mony than is necessary to pay the
teachers for their own districts. The
schools Of the county can be run from
seven to ten months In the year II
this were done.
Another matter that caused much
discussion was the consolidation Of
the schools in several of the districts.
In regard to the equalization Of the
school funds, it was pointed out that
some of the districts were already
behind, and that the warrants for
these districts should be paid with
the money that has been placed to
the credit Of the other districts. This
will allow the teachers 10 secure the
money which is due them at the time,
and prevent the registering Of school
warrants. The board declares that
this is desirable condition to be
brought about
The assessment for the school tax |
has been raised four mills on the dol.
lar, and the taxable values Of the
county have grown over a million dol
lars since the last assessment This
will greatly increase the school fund,
and will soon bring the districts
which are behind out Of debt.

APREST ESCAPED
CONVICT ATURDAY
SAM JOHNSON, LATE OF THE
BRuSHY MOUNTAIN MINES,
CAUGHT BY SHERIFF.

Sam Johnson, negro, was arrested
here Saturday afternoon by Sheriff
Goodwin and Deputy w. J. Goad, on a
charge Of escaping from the State
prison. Johnson, it is alleged escap-
ed from the State mines at Brushy
Mountain two years ago, where he
had been sentenced on q charge of
assault with intent to murder. The
sentence imposed was ten years at
hard labor, and Johnson had served
two years of his time when he made
his escape. He came to Columbia
and was married here about year
ago.
Sheriff Goodwin had considerable
trouble in corralling his prisoner, for
he was a desperate negro, and put up
a game race. The officers finally
landed him, however.
An attache of the State penitentia-
ry came out from Nashville yester-
day and returned to the city with the
prisoner.
johnson had changed his name
when he came to this place, and was
not recognized az the escaped con-
vict until one OF the negroes who had
served in the State mines with him
rave him away to the officers.

CONGREGATION OF FIRST Chris

ACCEPTS IT.
The Fife IN FOUR MONTHS
Cumberland Presbyterian, First Pres
byterlan, First Methodist, First
Christian and st. Peters Episcopal
Churches Change Pastors.

Beginning with the first Sunday In
1911, for several months the First
Christian church Of Columbia will be
without a pastor. The congregation
Sunday formally accepted the resig-
nation Of DR.. w. T. Boaz; who has
been pastSr Of the church for nearly
three years. The resignation was &C
cepted with the understanding that
DR.. Boaz is to devote his time to the
Tennessee Orphans Home, of which
he Ii superintendent. The position
Of superintendent of the Orphans
Home requires the whole attention
of whoever undertakes it, and DR..
Boap felt that he could not do justice
to both positions.
Nothing will be done toward secur-
ing his successor Immediately The
congregation must meet again and APP
point a committee to look after the
matter. This will probably be done
during the month Of January.
DR.. Boar will continue to make his
home In Columbia, and while the con-
is sorry to lose him from
the field as minister OF the church,
the people are glad that he will re-
main near them in this city.
This is the fifth local church with.
In the past four months that has been
changed ministers. The first one
was the Cumberland Presbyterian,
which Sunday issued a call for DR..
?. E. Birkett, to succeed the resigned
pastor, DR.. Mack. Rev. w. B. Capers
alter resigned from the rectorship Of
1t. Peters Episcopal church, and the
of DR.. Boaz has just been
by the congregation. DR.. A.

Santa Fe is sustaining its reputa-
ton as one of the greatest hog and
live stock assembling points in the
country. One drove Of 29S hogs pass
ed through here last week that sold
for about $4,000. In addition there
were other deals in hogs and stock
that brought the total for the week In
the neighborhood Of $4,000. A rec !
ord kept here for last year showed
that the total value of live stock
weighed on the scales was not far
short of 100000 and that was con-
Bidered good average year.
