.F the Investigation

0F the diversification
~ of the ancient and
honorable industry of
farming, there appears to
be no end. Like Alexander,
the farmer continually
signs for new worlds to
conquer; but, unlike
Alexander, he finds it easy
to crafty his longing by
exploiting some new outlet
for his activities.
To enumerate all the
new farming industries
that have been inaugu-
rated within recent years
would be difficult. Prob
ably none is more impor-
tant than timber farming,
which is attaining great
prominence in California
and is being experimental
with in Arizona and other
parts of the Southwest.
To grow trees for profit,
as men are accustomed
to grow cabbages and po-

Owing to the growing
scarcity of hardwoods and
the increasing difficulty of
obtaining lumber at a
reasonable price, the
Santa Fe railroad has pur-
chased eight thousand
acres of land near San

in eucalyptus trees, in

Special to Daily Item.
Columbia, Dec 5.-Continuing his
argument today in the court of COM
mon pleas, A. p. Thorn, general coun-
sci Of the Southern Railway, cited
opinions 10y the United States Su-
preme Court to show that the lines Of
the Southern are not parallel and
therefore not competing, as is alleged
by the State in it's suit to have mer-
ger dissolved. Mr.. Thorn began his
argument Saturday and today gave a
history of the Southern. He empha-
sized the fact that the consolidation
had increased competition and offer
ed better service. The Southern. he
said, is in competition with the Coast
Line and Seaboard throughout the
State. r. II. Welch then began his
argument for the State. The attorn-
eys are not confining themselves t.
mere objections to testimony. but are
going into the consideration of the
whole subject.

A MOVE IN LINE OF PROGRESS
Road Oil Being Spread on Liberty
Street From Harvin to Magnolia
Street.

Saturday steps were taken in the
line Of progress for Sumter, and one
for preserving the streets. that
will probably long be remembered
for, crude petroleum road oil was
spread on Liberty from Harvin to
Magnolia street for the preservation
Of the street and comfort Of the peo-
pie Of that portion Of the city.
Mr.. Robert Hutcheson was sent
by the company from whom the oil
was purchased to take charge of the
work Of applying the oil on the street
and under his supervision, the work
was done which will probably make
the street the best in the city. The
OIL that is being laid on the street is

work here Is the same company that
spread the oil on the race track at
Savannah which Is accredited with
being the best track in the whole
country. Mr. Hutcheson has had
much experience in the work and
thinks that the work here will prove
as great a success as it has proved
elsewhere and as great a benefit to
the city. He says that in the circum-
stances the work can not be done as
well or as quickly as he had expect
ed. owing to the cold weather which
we ere experiencing at this time,
which he had not expected here. The
cold will prevent the oil from spread
ing or penetrating as rapidly as it
would were the weather warmer.
A full force Of men are spreading
the stuff out on the stree: and Sc ling
to it that every part Of the ground is
covered with it as it is sprinkled
from the oil tank which was brought
here especially for the purpose by
Mr.. Hutcheson. The two blocks were
covered today and it is expected that
they can be sanded and thrown open
to public traffic at an early date.
There were about 5000 gallons of
the road oil brought in the carload
shipped here and about $500 gallons
OF this will be used in covering two
blocks with it. The cost of the car
load is approximately $3.50, and if the
material proves the preserver it is
supposed to be it will also be a great
money saver for the city.
