A Look At the Figures.
The total disbursements from the
State treasury for 1909 were S3.Tl2.-
61S21, as compared with $1141.6S3.32
during the first year OF the MacCorkle
administration; but in 1909 there was
refunded to the counties. districts and
municipalities, by the Auditor, on aC-
count Of taxes collected from public
service corporations for these counties.

ferred from the State fund 10 the Cen
eral School fund for the benefit OF the
public schools, leaving the actual sum
disbursed for State governmental Dur-
poses in 1909. $1.561 .SO5.42- practically
all of which was collected from
license taxes instead of from direct
taxes on the people
In 1898. the first year of the adj

the total disbursements from the
State treasury were S1,141,GS3.32.
as above stated, and OF this amount
only S2SI916.3J was refunded to
the counties. districts and municipal
lilies, whereas i'm 1909 the State sent
back to the counties S1,S33.6IS.97.
The following table shows the
disbursements from the state treas
ury since 1883 to the close of the
fiscal year 1909, and even a cursorv
perusal of the figures is sufficient to
show that the percent of increase in
the disbursements for State purposes
was greater under Democratic rule
from 1883 to 1S96-than il was from
the first year of the MacCorkle adj
minlstration to the first year of the
Glasscock administration.

The large increase in recent wears

FEDERAL INCORPORATION BILL

In bill of twenty-one sections At
torney General Wickersham has en-.
bodied the ideas of President Taft and
his cabinet regarding the system of
federal incorporation of business en-
terprises. The measure is to be pre-.
sented to congress late next week.
The principal feature of the bill will
be the creation OF form of holding
company under national charter, which
may control the business of subordi.
nate companies organized under state
laws.
There will be no compulsory pro
visions in the bill, IT is said. All char
ters will be subject TO the approval of
the commissioner of corporations; the
minimum amount of capital stock will
be limited to 100000, not less than
10000 of which shall be available TO
commence business.
An important provision will be one
requiring every subscriber to pay to
the treasurer of a corporation 10 per
cent of the amount of his subscriptiop
in cash. Ample provision will be
made for exhaustive reports to the
government by every national corpora
ton; special reports may be called
for at any time, and, finally, severe
penalty provisions will be included.

EARLY RAILRoApINe.

There were no such things as air
brakes In 1866. Up 10 that time hand
brakes were used exclusively. The
brake beams were of wood. as were
the brake shoes, which had the habit
OF becoming ignited from TOO constant
use. This necessitated the brakeman
putting out the fire when they were
forced to stop for the purpose.
The old locomotives all burned wood
and 1t was the duty of the entire crew
TO aid in the 'woodingup" of the train
when a stop was made at one of the
numerous wood piles along the track
The old-style locomotives burned n
great deal of the wood and 1t was n
hard task to feed them. A large mum
ber of traction hands were forced to
attend to the many wood piles.

heating year ago. After investigat-
orchardists decided upon using the
Troutman oil pot, setting 100 to the

ture was 10 degrees below freezing

held the temperature at 80 and 33 de-

he figures that heating his orchard

TO INVESTIGATE THE cURA-
TIVE POWERS OF RADuJM

1t has been announced in England
that an institution is to be establish
ed solely for the investigation of the
physiological and curative properties
of single element-radium. There
has been great variation in the reports
from physicians who have experiment.
ed with this substance. Some remark.
able cures have apparently been oh.
tanned without explanation of the way
in which they have come about, while
in exactly similar cases the treatment
has been without effect Evidently
systematic experiment, in conditions
where there may be close observation
is needed.
Medical authorities seem agreed,
however, that radium increases the
power of certain abnormal tissues to
relieve themselves by a sort of self
digestion, and that it may act In many
instances as an oxidizing agent.
1t mas been suggested that some
natural mineral waters owe their cur
alive powers not so much to their
chemical constitution as to their ra.
dio-activity-a property apparently
possessed by all such waters. If this
is so a natural mineral waiter can.
not be artificially initiated simply by
duplicating its chemical constituents
