FORTUNES UNDREAMED OF.
Billions to Be Added to the Value of
Southern Farm Lands.

It is possible that within the next
ten years the owners Of farm lands
of the South, in addition to the an
nual profit to be made by the culti-
vation Of these lands, will make s5,-
900, 100000 by the increase in their
value, bringing the value up to near
ly $11,000,000,O0O. These stipend
GUS figures illustrate the possibilities
that may come to the owners OF
southern farm lands. Not every land
owner will share equally. Some will
make more, and some will make less,
but it is fair to say that ten years
hence the agricultural lands OF the
south will have increased on the
whole to such an extent that they will
be worth from $5,O00,o00,o0o to s6,-
O00,000,000 more than they are
worth to-day. This unearned in
creasement, as it may be called, will
add enormously to the wealth Of the
South.
Between 1900 and 1910 the aver
age value per acre of the agricul-
tural lands of the United States in
creased from $15.64 to $S2.4S. Dur
ing the same period the average acre
age value Of the South's agricultural
lands increased from $6.88 to 1854,
making the average acre value OF
the agricultural lands of the South
something more than the acre value
of the lands of the United States ten
years ago. It is safe to estimate that
within the next ten years southern
lands will advance to at least the
average acre value of the agricul-
tural lands of the United States at
present, bringing the acre value to
s32.4S, as compared with 1854, the
average last year.
AS the South has at present about
34O,O00,O00 acres Of lands in farms,
an additional value of $16.64 In ten
years, bringing the average up to the
present average of the United States,
would make a total Of s5,657,6O0,-
900 as the gain for ten years.
When once wealth begins to ac-
cumulate in community rich in
natural resources, the momentum
increases with tremendous power.
The increasing wealth of the South
is now proceeding at rate that will
make the momentum of the next ten
years carry its growth far beyond
anything that this section has yet

The Herald Must Live.

Again we beg to remind our
friends that all notices relating to
money making enterprises, for
church, school or any other cause,
are charged for as advertising at one
cent a word. All cards Of thanks,
for any purpose whatsoever, are
charged for at the rate of one cent
a word. It would save us a good
deal of trouble and embarrassment
if you would just count the words
and send the money along with your
"copy," as it hardly pays US to Keep
books on these little items. Yet in
the aggregate they mean consider
able loss to the paper if not collected
and they are so easily overlooked.

Corn Meal Situation Improved.

Columbia, Sept. 6.-That the corn
meal situation in South Carolina is
Improving is indicated by g. number
of reports received by Commissioner
Watson from the departmental labo-
ratories this afternoon on samples
that have been drawn in various
parts of the State within the last
few days. Only IA were shown to
be unsafe for food purposes while
there were "a in the batch which
were reported within the standard.
Commissioner Watson looks upon
this aspect of affairs as an indication
that the situation will ultimately
clear up, and believes that the new
turn Of affairs indicates a feeling on
the part Of the corn grinders to COM
ply with the laws.
Samples recently taken at the Sax
on mill village in Spartanburg coun-
ty, where considerable pellagra had
been found by State Health Officer
Hayne, have been shown to be safe.
These samples have been shipped in
since disclosures were made on for
mer samples taken by DR.. Hayne,
which analysis proved to be unsafe
for human food.
Pamphlets gotten out by the de-
partment describing the deteriora-
ton of corn and giving the standard
laboratory test of it's fitness for food
are being distributed by the depart
ment of agriculture among millers
and grain brokers in various parts of
the South.

WILL INTEREST FIELDER.
Commission Will Have News for
Public Soon.

Columbia, Sept. Cat the next
meeting of the commission there will
probably be something to give out
of particular interest to Mr.. Thomas
B. Felder," so said tonight Mr.. Fred
H. Dominick, following a meeting OF
the dispensary winding-up commits
sion, held in this city to-day at about
noon.
= Only three members of the COM
mission were present, Messrs. }. V.
Wallace, chairman; Fred H. Doml"
nick and E. M. Thompson. The COM
mission is holding another session to-
night but will then adjourn until the
next meeting, which it is stated will
probably be in the next two or three
weeks.
Work on Vouchers.
When interviewed regarding the
work of the commission the three
members were in Mr.. Dominick's s
room at the Columbia Hotel. eve
are still at work on the voucher mat
ter" said Mr.. Wallace. "There is
very little to give out at present We
have been delayed by the sickness OF
our accountant or we would have
been further advanced in our work
than we are. However, there will
probably be something of interest to
the public to give out at our next
meeting in few weeks from now
something of particular interest to
Mr.. Thomas B. Fielder" added Mr..
Dominick. "Some interesting figures
as to money gotten by him, particu-
larly some that was overpaid, a por-
ton of which he now has on hand
and which runs into good many
thousand dollars
Heavy Attorneys Fees.
After a pause Mr. Dominick ad-
ded: According to the partial re-
port of our accountant the amounts
paid for attorneys fees by the former
dispensary commission exceeds the
amount collected from the graft &C.
count by about $4,000 in round
numbers. There will be something
doing at our next meeting" he con-
cluded after a few seconds.

Plans Completed for New Capitol.

At the session Of the general as
sembly in 1910 special commission
was named by Speaker Whaley to
make an investigation and report on
the feasibility of charging the State
house. Among the members of the
commission were Mendel L. Smith,
of Kershaw county, now speaker,
and A. w. Todd, member OF the
house from Charleston county.
This commission has been hard at
work for the past two years and at
the last session request was made for
more time to complete the work.
A. w. Todd is a we'll known archi-
tect and he has prepared plans for
the enlargement of the State house.
According to the plans of Mr.. Todd
the improvements would make the
capital one of the handsomest in the
world. The portico plans now used
are considered second to one build
ing, according to experts. These
plans call for the expenditure Of s3,-
100000 within three years. These
plans will be submitted to the gen
eral assembly and it is expected that
some definite action will be taken.
For the past several years there
has been much discussion as to more
room for the State officials. When
the general assembly is in session
there is little room left in other build
ings. There has also been much dis
cussion as to a building for the su-
preme court. Under the plans OF
Mr.. Todd there would be special
quarters for the supreme court in the
new State house. The dome on the
building would be changed, modelled
probably after the dome on the CAPT.
tol at Washington, and there would
be two wings to the present struct-
ure. The original Niernsee plans
called for beautiful tower, Gaping
the porch designs.

DEAD BOY COMES BACK.
To the Great Joy of Another Boy In
Jail for Killing Him.

A dispatch from Spartanburg to
The State says John Webb, the eigh-
teen-year-o1d boy who has been a
prisoner in the county jail for sew
eral days, charged with the murder
of Archie Brown, was released this
morning when it became known that
Thursday night Brown Unexpectedly
turned up in his home alive.
Brown said that on August ~,
when he disappeared, he was sud-
denly seized with the wanderlust and
without notifying his family went
of on a pleasure trip. He said that
since that he had visited Columbia,
Savannah and Athens, Ga.
When last seen before his disap-
pearance Brown was walking along
the ,Paoolet river with Webb during
the dinner period. Both were en-
ployed at the Pacolet mill, where
Browns dinner pail was found. Webb
is said to have Deen somewhat VI
tramp, and little was known about
him at Pacolet.
It is reported that he had con-
fided to a companion that he intend
ed to rob Brown. The rumor was
started that he killed and robbed
Brown and had thrown his body into
the river. A warrant was sworn out
against Webb, charging him with
murder, and he was committed to
Jail.
For several days so men dragged
the Pacolet river for Browns body.
If he had not turned up the mill
pond would have been drawn to-day
in the search for his body.

A Notable Indian Woman.

Mrs. Narcissa Owen, 80 years old,
mother of United States Senator
Robert L. Owen, died at Guthrie
July II, as the result Of injuries re-
ceived some weeks before in fall.
She was a Cherokee Indian, a native
of Webbers Falls, in old Indian Ter
ritory, and had achieved fame as an
author and artist. Her principal
book was a history of the Cherokee
Indians.
Mrs. Owens history was full of in
terest from the time her father,
Chief Robert Chisholm, died until
she had educated herself and was
self-sustaining, having position in
the Masonic High School at Fort
Smith, Ark. It was there that she
first met DR.. Robert Latham Owen,
of Virginia, who became her hus-
band. With 500 other women from
her section during the civil war she
made uniforms day and night. She
nursed the wounded and gave her
all to feed the Southern army when
evil days fell upon it. After her
widowhood Mrs. Owen returned to
teaching. An artist of more than
ordinary boldness and talent and a
musician of unusual attainments, she
made an excellent living. She taught
in one of the schools until after her
son, Robert Latham Owen, the sena-
tor from Oklahoma, became Indian
agent and a lawyer of fair promise.
Mrs. Owen until three years ago
was as erect and sturdy as one the
warriors of her race, but she then suf-
fered a stroke Of paralysis. Her
home was full of fascinating trophies
of the heroic days of her line and
she could tell as thrilling a story as
Cooper could pen. It was Mrs.
Owens father who received from
Thomas Jefferson the famous peace
medal which marked the perfect har-
mony of the United States govern
ment and the Cherokee. tribe.
Mrs. Owens was directly descend
ed from Queen Quatsis, lineal Success
or of the seven original chiefs OF
Cherokee blood of many years ago,
and was herself one-sixteenth Chero-
kee. Practically all along the line
Mrs. Owen boasted an unusual ances-
try. One of the intimate traits OF
the members of the Owen family,
a characteristic which, by the way,
had much to do with their worldly
success, was their indomitable will.
This came through Mrs. Narcissa
Owen and her ancestors.-Kansas

Tar and Feathers for Girl Teacher

Shady Bend, Kan, Sept. 8.-Eight
men and boys have been arrested and
placed under bond here for alleged
connection with the tarring and
feathering of a young school teach
er, Miss May Chamberlain, ten days
ago. A strong effort had been made
to keep the matter quiet, but County
Attorney McCandless refused to al
low the affair to go uninvestigated.
The trials of several of the suspects
have been set for next month. Other
arrests are expected.
The men arrested are Edward Ric-
ord, E. G. Clark, A. M. Simms, John
Schmidt, Watson Scranton, Jay Fitz-
water, Chester Anderson and Delbert
Kindlesparger.
Miss Chamberlain belongs to a
prominent family. The only excuse
given for the affair is that she chad
talked about" other women of the
community.
It is charged that one Of the men
under arrest took Miss Chamberlain
for ride in a buggy and that upon
reaching a lonely spot on the road he
stopped the buggy and ran into the
woods. Several men who had gone
to the place on motorcycles, it is
said, took Miss Chamberlain from the
buggy, removed part of her clothing
applied the tar and feathers and left
her. Her escort returned later and
drove Miss Chamberlain back to her
boarding house. Miss Chamberlain
was not seriously injured.
Two of the boys already found
guilty in the justice of the peace
court and sentenced each to three
months in jail have appealed to the
district court and are out on bond.
Edward Ricord, who took the girl
to the spot where the attack was
made, is serving sentence of a year
in Jail for his part in the affair.
