Star baseball players are certainly
mighty risky commodity. One year

as If he was worth $4,000 TO his club,
cause his owner to turn down all kinds
of fabulous offers for his services and
the following year prove a big failure.
While every club owner is in the
baseball business to get the money,
still it's the one ambition of every own
er and manager to win pennants; 9th
erwise there would be much more
trading and selling of players among
the various clubs of the majors and
minors. Civic pride often keeps an
owner from selling one of his stars
for a big sum. The fact that such
sale may also bring upon his head the
wrath of the fans plays q part as well
in the baseball market.
Four years ago George Stone of the
St Louis club led the American league

would have been delighted to buy
Stone at almost any old price, while
the St Louis fans simply idolized their
batting king. All kinds of offers were
made to Owner Hedges, but be turned
a deaf ear to them.

Fruit Not Seriously Injured.

"a m. r Berck kmans, Of Augusta,
who is one of the most successful
fruit growers in the south, was
quoted a few days ago as having
said that fruit in the vicinity of Au,
gusta has teen but little injured by
the cold.
The following is a dispatch that
was sent from Meriwether, this
county, to the Augusta Chronicle
last Friday:
"The cold snap Of the 10th did
not seriously injure the peach crop
in the Meriwether-Clark's Hill Sec
ton. Some blooms, of course,
were killed, perhaps reducing the
crop where orchards were unfavora,
bly, located, but where trees are on
elevations and vigorous, the peaches
will have to be thinnedso as to pro-
duce large fruit.
''This fruit belt is noted for its
never-failiug peach crop as well as
its superior quality, a car shipment

Prohibition Improved Conditions
in Wilmington.

The disastrous (?) effects of pro,
hibition on a town are strikingly
illustrated by the workings of the
prohibition law in Wilmington, the
leading North Carolina seaport, last
year. The law went into effect
there January l, 1909, and perhaps
in no other seaport city has it been
so we'll enforced. The results are
that the number of arrests in 1909
was only 1928 as compared with
1908 with saloons the year before;
in spite of increased population,
there was a decrease in the number
of deaths and cases of insanity; bank
deposits showed the remarkable in
crease from s7,9oo,ooo to s9,96o,-
600 for the single twelve months,
the increase in bank clearings being
greater than for any other leading
Southern city except Atlanta (which
is also prohibition); the number of
building permits and their value
more than doubled; and in spite of
losing a 5000 license tax on sixty,
three saloons each land voting an
extra tax for schools) the total tax
rate was reduced 8 cents on the
800. Getting rid of the whiskey
handicap az much as possible, while
the North still suffers from it in
undiminished measure, is giving the
South a tremendous advantage ii

What Fertilizer Ignorance Costs
Us in a Single Year.

According to the latest obtaina-
BILE statistics, the farmers of six con-
tiguous Southern States-Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas,
and Virginia--spend over s5o,oo0,-
600 a year for commercial fertilizers.
The total public school fund of these
States amounts to sl1,0oo,ooo.
And of the $50, 100000 paid for
fertilizers, it is not too much to say
that over s11, 100000 is wasted.
through ignorance of crop and soil
needs.
In other words, our ignorance
Tax on the one single, solitary item
of commercial fertilizers alone is
more than the total amount we are
spending on public schools for in
creasing the intelligence of our chill
dren!
If the s5o,ooo,ooO spent by these
States is profitable now, reasonable
knowledge of fertilizer facts would
make it twice as profitable. Or to
put it differently; reasonably care
full study of soil needs, crop needs,
the functions of different fertilizing
clements, etc., ETC., would add $780,
100000 year to the profits OF our
Southern farmers.
And $50, 100000 year properly
expended in bond issues, as interest
and sinking fund, would put an

SUMMER SCHOOL.

Twenty-Five courses will be offer
ed in the following branches: Draw
ing, English, French, German, Geo
graphy, and Photography, History
and Civics, Latin, Geometry, Alge-
bra, Arithmetic, Music, Physics,
Pedagogy, Physiology and Primary

The school has received the en-
dorsement of the State Superintend-
ent, the County Superintendent
and the State Board of Education
Teachers who attended last ses-
sion were granted renewal of their
certificates.
The enrolment of last summer
was LAG.
The faculty will be made up from
Wofford College, Converse College,
the Spartanburg city schools, and
other institutions in fhe State.
ISSUE CIRCULARS.
A circular will be issued before
April, giving an outline of the
courses, the names of the faculty,
and other necessary information.
From the following outline of
policy and purpose may be gained
some idea of the school and the lines
along which it will be developed: !
l. To offer in the state an oppor-
tunity to teachers to prepare them
selves for increasingly efficient
work in common schools.
2. To aid in equipping teachers
for high school work.
8. To enable the experienced
graduates of colleges, who intend to
teach, to profit by the instruction
and experience of practical teachers
in the high school branches. .
a. To Keep np.-ssa,s. ork already
fso.welE begun thss formeg
summer schools of bringing the
teachers of the state together for ex-
change of opinion and experience
for the stimulus and enlargement of
personal and Intellectual association,
and for the development of a pro-
fessional spirit and unity.
5. To develop courses looking to
the degree of L. L., and to offer
courses toward the degree of A. B.
This will be done by lengthening
the term, by gradually adding other
branches and advanced courses in
the fundamental culture and pro-
fessional studies, by outlining work
to be done in the interval between
summer schools.
6. To enable our teachers to
unite with the for egoing opportuni-
ties and advantages, the benefits of
rest, recreation, and social inter
course in the fine summer climate of
the near mountain country.
EXPENSES.
A fee of $1,000 will be charged
for all school privileges. Board may
be had for $1,000. The railroads
will be asked to make reduced rates.
