Quite a number of York county peo-
pie went down to the Chester fair this
week, and the general verdict Is that
the show was an unusually creditable
one. There were good displays of live
stock and farm products, and also a
large crowd of good natured, intelli-
gent people. The fair is conceded 20
have been a success from every stand
point. especially including exhibits and
attendance.
There is a movement on foot among
some of the sportsmen in York county
to petition the general assembly to
shorten the open season for partridge
shooting. Under the law as it now
stands, partridges may be shot from
November Is to March Is, and the idea
is to cut the season down to only two
months. Some are of opinion that
January and February are the two
right months, and others are rather in
favor of making December Is to Feb
ruary Is the limit. 1t is claimed that
with so many gunners as there are IN
this county at present and with such
a long season the partridges are be-
ing killed out more rapidly than they
can produce.

There are a number of disturbing
rumOrs in circulation in connection
with the c. c. e O. railroad. One is
to the effect that the plan of building
on through to Charleston has been
abandoned. and another is that the
the property is to be sold to the Cheas-
apeake & Ohio. In the event of a de-
cision not to build on to Charleston
arrangements will he perfected by
which the product of the Clinchfield
coal mines will go to Charleston over
the Southern. and if this arrangement
is perfected it is just possible that the
Southern will take the c. c. & O.'s
business at Marion, y. c., and bring
it down by way of Yorkville. This
looks like about the right thing to do
anyway.

MILITARY EXPENDITURES.
A Request For information as to What
Goes With the Money.

Ten days ago the State directed at
tention to where 1t conceived to exist
one leak in the fund to promote rlf1e
practice. Attention was called to the
allegation that officers drawing per
diem, respectively of 1912, SILL
and 1861. attended the rifle shoots
and got the pay without shooting a
rifle or having any business on the
ground.
The State also asked the plain ques-
ton whether those officers or other
officers, without warrant of business
or duty, attended rifle practice shoots
and encampments, and draw pay Tor
rank.
Tne officers OF the three ranks,
Drigadier general, colonel, and lieu
tenant colonel, referred to in the first
paragraph above, were mentioned by
name ten days ago. but no word has
come from them or from any one OF
them, and no effort has been made to
reply to the question propounded.
That fact is surprising. Has money
been improperly drawn from the rifle
practice fund and diverted to private
benefit? Has the money OF the other
military funds, intended for the bene-
fit Of the young soldiers and, through
them. for the benefit of the state ana
country, been wasted or improperly
used? Sooner or later those questions
will have 10 be answered.

1t is the duty of the Legislature to
see that this money is properly ex-
pended. 1t is given the state FOR the
benefit of the militia and every dollar
should be spent for the benefit Of the
militia. 1t should be possible for the
particularly the militia
to know how the expenditures are ac-
counted for.
There should be no objection to the
fullest publicity.-Columbia State

also withdrawn it's offer: and New

that a proposition from Newton Will

against Chester: and as Hickory Is

road the same objections that apply
to Chester also apply to Hickory. and
the North Carolina town has but lit

Col. Nichols was in Hickory Tuesday
looking over the situation. He is In

announcement as to the location or
the shops.

"No portion of our country is going
to show a greater rate Of development
than the South will show in the course
of the next 80 or 40 years. I ask you
to see that this marvellous develop

fashion that it will represent not a
mere exploitation Of territory, not a
mere feverish growth in wealth and
luxury or a honey-combed foundation
of morality and good judgment, but
that it will represent solid and an

ADDRESS TO FARMERS.

Anderson Mail.
A strong plea for business rules
and business methods in farming
formed the keynote of the address
delivered by Mr.. J. B. O'Neall Hollo-
way before a number of farmers and
others at the city hall today. On ac-
count of the rain that came before the
time set for the meeting, the attend
ance was not as large as it would
have been, yet all of those who heard
it were pleased with all that Mr.. Hol-
loway had to say. He was introduce
ed by Mr.. T. T. Wakefield.
Mr.. Holloway illustrated his argu-
ment for business methods On the
farm in a pleasing and forceful man
ner, leaving nothing to be said against
the plan. He said that business meth
ods are in use in every other branch
of business in the country, and to this
fact is due success; then asked, "Why
should the same not be true on the
farm?"
Another point that was brought out
and urged by Mr.. Holloway was the
need of the better educated farmer.
Education along agricultural lines is
as necessary to success as in any 9TH
er line of business, he said, and he
pointed out clearly why this is true,
illustrating as he proceeded, and
coming back again to the base Of his
address-business methods for the
farmer.
Mr.. Holloway is a strong speaker,
and knows we'll the subject on which
he speaks He has spent all of his
life on the farm aud in teaching, and
has met with success. He is making
tour of the State under the super
vision of the State Farmers Union.
He has been in Anderson all of this
week. and will deliver his last ad-
dress at Long Branch tomorrow. To-
night he speaks at Iva.

FINDING THE KEY.
4 Visiting Hypnotist Performs the
Feat According to Adver-
tiSement.

Fayssoux, the hypnotist, gave sever
al fine exhibitions Of his power while
in Newberry last week. His sleeping
man at Baxter's Undertaking parlors,
after lying there all Of Wednesday
night and Thursday as though he
we're a real corpse and enjoying his
nap, was awakened Thursday night
BY Fayssoux according to program.
The hypnotist performed his other
free street feat to the satisfaction OF
the committee, the qualification Of a
crowd and the mystidcation Of some.
One of the committee, DR.. Smith, test
ed the power of the hypnotist, and it
worked like a charm. Fayssoux Is no
faker. The committee numbered Act
ing Mayor P. F. Baxter, DR.. Van
Fmith, Mr.. Cannon G. Blease and Mr..
Robert L. Epting. First a letter was
addressed to DR.. G. K. Hutchinson,
taken to the postoffce and placed In
box 1875. Then the committee drove
to the residence of Mr.. G. M. 3. Ept-
ing and hid the key on the wash-stand
in Mr.. Epting's room. The key was
put under the cover Of the washstand
and the soap dish placed over it. The
committee then returned by another
route to Baxter's, where they blind
folded the performer Mr.. Baxter took
his seat with Prof. Fayssoux, the pro-
fessor driving and the other members
being in the carriage. In front OF
the J. L. Bowles company's late stand
Fayssoux became a little confused
and got down, asking two Of the COM
mittee to take hold Of his wrists and
accompany him walking, which they
did the three going on foot, the car
rage following. The professor took
them over the route the committee
had first taken and went direct to Mr..
Epting's house, walked straight into
the room and got the key with as
much ease as If he had put 1t there
himself. Re-entering the carriage, DR..
W. H. Alderman at that time being
one of the occupants, having got in
out of the rain, Fayssoux again took
hold of the reins and drove to the
postoffce. He couldn't see, for his
blindfold was complete, but he open
ed the box and got the letter out from
among a number Of other letters IL
the box, carried it to the one to whom
it was addressed and told the initials
on the envelope.
Of course this act has been done
here before, but it was new to some
people and interesting to many, and
marvellous to the large number OF
persons who do not understand it.
DR.. Smith can tell you good deal
about it.
