PREPAY CARS MAKE DEBUT.
One Feature Of EN- More Room For
Standing UP.


The Detroit United Railway put
twenty of the new prepayment cars
on the Jefferson line Sunday, the first
consignment of the rs that have been
ordered, and they made a hit with the
Sunday crowds that took advantage Of
the balmy day to journey to Belle Isle
and other spots on the Jefferson lines.
The feature OF the new cars are the
folding steps, which are automatical.
.ly drawn up when the door is closed,
preventing passengers from getting
on or off while the car is In motion.
Some reckless persons found it very
annoying to run up TO the car and
make a grab for IL only to find that
there was no way of getting in while
the car was in motion. II is claimed
that this feature of the cars will pre-
vent many of the accidents that occur
on the street-car lines
Besides the folding steps there are
several other innovations in the new
ID. u. X. rolling stock. The conductor
and the cash box are stationed inside
the car, giving more room on the
back platform and facilitating loadine
and unloading at the crowded cor
ners. The back platform Is all enclos
"a I'm glass. The seats are arranged
along the sides OF the car giving tho
old-fashioned neighborly look that W,

Public opinion was divided on til,
ndvantages of the new cars. One o
ne notable features is the additiona

Swearingen Flags Board.

Batesburg, July 5.-The Fourth
was observed here with much pomp.
Their was a large barbecue at Sum-
merland Springs. The crowd there
was immense, and patriotic addresses
were made by Superintendent of Ed
ucation J. E. Swearingen, of Colum-
bia, and Congressman Byrnes, of
Aiken. Mr.. Swearingen's address
was of much force. He fayed the
methods of the State educational
board in the way they went about
adopting the new books. He did not
charge corruption, but he censured
the way in which the change was
made. He thought the proposed
change should have been known to
the people. He thought those who
voted for the change should have
voted by ballot, and their ballots
should have been put on record.
Congressman Byrnes's speech was
on national questions, and was much
enjoyed by the vast crowd present.
Congressman Lever was scheduled to
be here, but on account of his mar
riage he failed to attend.

equivalent to about $4,000 quarts,
which at the wholesale price Of SC.
per quart, is equal to $1,150. The
calves from these COWS at one year
old sold for s1,275. These are actual
figures derived from the books at the
experiment station. It illustrates
what five good cows can do when the
products are used to the best ad-
vantage. The figures certainly look
large when we consider what these
five COWS produced in one year, pro-
duct which sold for $3,025, and their
record of this year will exceed that
of the past.
