NAMING THE FARM.

Give the farm a name and keep the
farm up to the name. A name gives
distinction, it Is an expression Of
honest pride, At shows an Interest dn
the place. 1t meal . something more
than so many acres Of brown earth,
a dwelling and barns. 1t means a
place that one feels is in best sense
the home of himself and his family
Sentiment gathers around 1t crystal
hzes so that at last the owner does
not SO much ask i'm declining years,
How much can | get for my farm"
but, Who Is going to succeed me
on IT." And that means much, for
it means a deepening and strength
ening OF home ties and those of 10
cality, all of which is greatly needed
in our American rural life.
But for practical reasons as well as
sentimental 1t is wise to bestow a
name upon the farm. No self-respect-
Ing man would give good name ito
his farm and then notkeep the farm
in good condition. The sense Of
pride and of the fitness of Things
would impel the farmer and his
family to do their best That would
mean better cultivation, house and
barns painted, fence in good shape,
better stock and better crops, and a
more attractive appearance wtthdn
and without the dwelling
There isscarcely farm however,
situated, but some appropriate name
may be given it. The landscape, a
spring, clump OF trees, position, his-
toric associations are among the
many things that may suggest the
name. And always remember this
that dt is with the farmer more than
anyone else, rests the solution OF the
problem of arresting the drift city
wards. An attractive home, home
that has distinctiveness about 1t goes
a long way towards the solution.

the modern method is to use Tee
branches. InaSmuch as the success.
ful operation of sewer system de-
ponds upon getting the house wastes
and drainage into the collecting sew
ers as quickly as possible, and also
to prevent stoppage in these house
connections, it is better practice to
adopt a SO" house connection through.
out the system than to use the 4"
connection. When the system of col
Letting sewers is installed, a Tee
branch should be located opposite ev-
cry possible point of future house con-
nection. These Tee branches, when
not at once connected withthe house
should be plugged for future connec-
ton To get the proper grade ON
these house connections with streets
the width of those at Mountain Home
and the collecting sewers in the mid
die of the streets, the collecting sew
er should be laid at a depth of be-
tween feet and feet below the
surface of the street. The house
connection should run up from the
collecting sewer on a grade of about
one foot in 25 or 80 feet, and pro-
vision must be made for present and
future easements under residences
and business blocks SO that these
easements can be drained into the
sewer.
In all cases it is proposed to in
stall true, hard burned. vitmfied clay
pipes, with glazed interior. Such
pipe can be purchased in Salt Lake
and delivered at Mountain Home at
a reasonable cost.
The system as proposed covers a.
bout 22,965 feet of 81, 400 feet of 1O'
and $3.50 feet of IL" vitified, hard
brick man-holes, brick receiving
basin, and automatic syphon at the
outfah end on Slaughter House
Slough, and possibly eight flush
tanks at the upper ends of the col
lecting sewers.
In brief the estimate shows that
the entire sewerage system as outlined
herein should be installed at a cost
not exceeding $4,000 or 5000. and
confidently believe that with skilled
engineering supervision 1T can be i'm
stalled for that amount The annual
cost OF maintaining this sewerage

FRANK b. HAYNE HONORED.
Leading Men Of Vicksburg Show Him
Marked Attention.

..#r III AbbCHtLUua
New Orledans Times-Democrat:
Frank b. Hayne. the w~ell-known
cotton man, returned yesterday from
~Vicksburg, Miss, where ne was enter
tanned Informally by the members Of
the Elks club Wednesday night. In
terviewed yesterday. Mr.. Hayne seem
ed to be very much pleased and graft
led at the way in which he was e
ceived by his old Vicksburg friends.
We, went to Vicksburg in 1888, the
firm at that time being Vincent &
Hayne; and remained THERE until 1885
when he came to New Orleans. Mr..
Hayne said that his Vicksburg friends
were not aware of his coming and
that the reception was entirely i'm
promptu. That they asked him to
come over to the club at 5 o'clock in
the evening, so that he could meet
some of his old friends, but to his
surprise he found that while most OF
his old friends were there, that there
was a great number of the leading
citizns of Vicksburg, with many OF
whom he was not acquainted. P. M.
Harding of the Delta Banking COM
pany was the POSTMASTER. Mr.. Hayne
being seated at his right. J
Mary interesting "reminiscences were
told by his various friends OF Mr..
Haynes, life in Vicksburg. Mr.. JAG
quith of the Yazoo e Mississippi VAL
ley said that when he first met Mr..
Vincent and Mr.. Hayne that they wore
long boards and that Mr.. Hayne look
ed fifteen o twenty years older than
he does now. He also stated that the
first shipment of cotton from Vicks-
burg over the Mississippi Valley road
was by the firm of Weren't & Hayne.
Mr.. Henry. Mr.. Fitzhugh, Capt. Scar
les, Mayor Hayes, Mr.. Cowan and a
number of others spoke in a feeling
manner.
Mr.. Hayne said that they were really
so complimentary in their remarks
that he had not the nerve to repeat
them. They claimed that as Mr..
Hayne had started his business career
in Vicksburg that the citizens OF
Vicksburg had always taken a great
interest in him and felt a personal
pride in his success. They declared
that Mr.. Hayne had done as much or
more than any man for the South in
educating it's citizens as to the value
of cotton and proving that New York
could not dictate the price of it there
by e%nriching the South by many hun
dreds of millions of dollars.
Mr.. Hayne was only willing to give
a meager account of what was said al
the reception. but said that he. was
much touched and gratified and felt
/ very proud indeed to think that the
Vicksburg citizens had so good an
opinion of him.
Mr. Hayne was enthusiastic about
the E1ks club, saying that he consid'
cred it a finer club building than any
New Orleans possesses. He also sale
he considered the Vicksburg Nationa,

A Carolina Writer'S Rise.
Danville Register.

Mr.. Robert L. Gray, formerly edi-
tor of a Raleigh paper, later of one
in Wilmington, for a time editorial
writer for The Richmond Virginian
and still later connected with The
News, the Munsey publication in Bal
timore, has just been made editorial
writer on The Washington Times,
another of Mr.. Munsey's string of
newspapers. The steady advance
ment of Mr.. Gray is a striking trib-
ute to his ability as a writer, and his
career is yet hardly more than fairly
begun. In his new position on a
newspaper at the capital he has a
larger sphere than ever before. The
position of The Times on many ques-
tons and practicularly it's attitude to-
ward political affairs in Virginia, is
not generally so accurate as that of
The Washington Post and The Her
aid, o of The Star. it's rival in the
afternoon field. We trust that the
addition Of Mr.. Gray in it's Washing
ton staff, with his familiarity with
Virginia and the South generally. will
result in giving The Times a broad
Ell and a fairer view of Virginia and
the South generally. Few newspa-
per writer's have made a better rep
utation for brilliant and efficient work
than Mr.. Gray.

sALUDA VOTES RAILWAY BONDS.
Town to Issue $4,000 to Aid Railroad
Now building from Wards.


Saluda, April 30.-The election held
here Saturday on the question of bonds
in the sum of $4,000 in aid of the rail
road building from Wards to this
place resulted unanimously in favor
of the issue of bonds.
Last summer when the contract
was entered into with the parties who
were to build this road a personal
bond for $4,000 was made as part
of the $50. 900 bonus with the under
standing that a similar amount OF
Saluda town bonds, if voted, would
be accepted in lieu of the personal
bond. At the last session of the gen.
eral assembly an act was passed pro-
yiding for the election o nthe ques-
ton and the issuance of the bonds
by the town if carried. The bonds
will at once be prepared and ready
for delivery upon the completion OF
