The cotton crop on the state CON
Sict farm in 1910 yielded the state
Sl46, 943 92 as compared with
$l19,930 so for the crop of the pre-
ceeding year, The Board has Just
disposed of the last of the 1910 crop,
206 bales The total crop consisted
OF 1406 bales, or 1902 pounds,
total of $l2S, 943.92 for the cot
ton and $4,000 for the seed. The
average price received by the state
for its cotton was SIS O3 a pound.
In 1909 the state raised 5000 bu-
shells of corn, but last year no feed
was raised as it was found to be
more profitable to raise cotton and
buy corn. In the past two years
the Board has from the proceeds of
its crops and amounts received from
convict labor maintained the pen

revenue fund sos 900 borrowed to
meet a deficiency of two Years ago,
has paid $4,000 on the purchase

1000 acres of land, constructed
buildings at the new penitentiary,
removed buildings at the old, grad
ed a road through Cypress Creek at
the tarm, and done $4,000 DAYS
work for the Capitol Commission.
There remains due on the farm only
$l1 900. 1t is costing about $15,-
600 month to run the state prison,
of which $4,000 is for supplies.
The Board directed the Secretary TO
advertise bids for the hiring of 200
convicts, and in the event no bids
were received within FIVE davs, the
superintendent was directed to
remove all the convcts to the farm.
None were received, and this week
100 colored convicts were taken to
farm, being all except those on the
Reeves contract and working for the
Capitol Commission. The funds
are now exhausted, and the peniten-

given many of the scholars by their

2 o'clock until o'clock. In the high
er grades literary programs were the
order.
High School Program Good.
The program at the high school
was unusually pleasing. The high
school orchestra of seven pieces made
a decided hit" with the scholars,
and their parents who were present,
giving several difficult selections. The
High School Glee club was also very
popular and sang two songs, as well
as responded to an encore. Miss Helen
gave a vocal solo that was highly ap-
preciated. Following the musical pro
gram the three literary societies OF
the high school held debates.

A "Candle Song" Feature.
While It would be hard to distin-

tractiveness from the others, there
was one room at the Central building
WHERE the decoratioss were unusually
fine. considering that the children
themselves did most OF the decorating.
Mrs. Webbie Dodd is teacher of this
class. The pupils had made match
scratchers which each one of them
took home to give to their parents.
A real Christmas tree contained pret-
ty decorations and during the course
of the entertainment the room was
darkened and tiny candles were
lighted. after which an appropriate

At half-past one Tuesday afternoon
some forty feet of the heavy sandstone
coping, weighing several tons, on the
front gable of the Congregational
church, slid down the side to the
ground with a roar that frightened
people living In the nearby streets
There seemed no reason why such
an occurrence should have taken
place ct that time, except that the
continually increasing weight on the
stop stone at the bottom of the gable,
caused by the slow weakening of the
cement under the slabs. finally be-
came too great for the stop TO hold: it
broke off and all the stone above fol-
lowed it.
There was no damage inside the
church; one of the seven sandstone
blocks. six feet long, is inches wide
and four inches thick. fell 80 feet and
stuck into the ground 10 inches and
was left standing perfectly upright. T.

committee, was notified, and investi
gated the damage 1t is probable that

close to two hundred dollars.
