The National House of Representa-
tives has voted in favor of San Fran
cisco as against New Orleans for the
location of the Panama Canal Opening
Exposition. Thirty republicans voted
for New Orleans. Twenty-six demo-
Gratis voted with the majority of the
republicans for San Francisco. Of
these. the only Southern man was
Representative Finley. of South Caro-
lima. The measure now goes to the
Senate, which will probably vote as
did the House,-and thus a great in
Justice is done to the South.

The legislature is about to place
upon the statute books provision that
applicants for scholarships in the state
colleges shall be appointed on the
recommendation Of the presidents OF
the colleges. The Chronicle thinks a
very grave mistake is being made. The
examination papers of applicants for
scholarships should not be left in the
hands of any one man. Such a'scheme
opens wide the door for favoritism-
or worse. The Chronicle believes it
knows of instances where scholarships
have been awarded where they were
not deserved. 1t may be mistaken;
but it has circumstantial evidence
which it believes any jury would ac-

Senator Young added something to
the gayety of the session by his rec
ommendation with regard to Governor
Blease's seventh message, which was
received Saturday. Speaking Of the
message, which asserted that even the
members of the supreme court were
not over careful in observance Of the
state constitution, and that trustees
Of state colleges who hold other Offices
are habitually violating it both in let
ter and spirit, Me. Young suggested
that the message be received as IN
formation, with the advice to the gov
ernor that he Shiny on his own
side. Finally the part of the message
which referred to holding two offices
was referred to the judiciary COM
mittee.
The senate also received as informa-
ton the messages from the attorney
general and from the dispensary wind
ing-up commission, requesting that
there be thorough investigation, as
suggested by the governor.
The judiciary committee reported a
bill for an investigation Of the wind
ing up of the dispensary affairs. The
investigating committee, under this
bill, is given wide powers to probe
and is endowed with a courts power
to summon witnesses and compel at
tendance. The committee is to investi-
gate the acts and doings Of the at
torney general, the winding-up COM
mission, the legislative committee and
any other persons connected with the
affairs of the dispensary.
AL told, it was rather an interesting
week, with many matters Of import
ance coming up for treatment. This
week bids fair to be another OF this
kind, with the dispensary investiga-
tion bill and the election Of an asso-
ciate justice taking prominent places.

Another Suggestion Of The Chronicle
Is AdODted.

For several years past The Chroni-
Gle has been calling attention to the

streets were getting In, and suggested
that instead of filling In clay and sand
on the sidewalks, making them higher
on both sides than In the middle, the
plan of shaving Of the ridge Of dirt
on the outside of the walk, between
the trees, and throwing this dirt to the
middle Of the street. thus making
gentle slant from the center Of the
street and the inside. Of the walk. 20

in the Same slipshod fashion that their

farmers,-men who have the thing to
= science and practice 1t as a business
out Of which to make money,-is rap
idly increasing.
The observant man who will travel
through this section now will notice
many fields have been broken since
the harvests were gathered in the fall.
II he will notice little closer, he will
find that the plowing in nearly every
instance was with a two or three
horse ploW and that the land is bro
ken from seven to ten inches deep, and
some of it deeper. Some of this land
was broken in the fall or early winter
and is already thoroughly pulverized,
and that which is broken now will
have ample time to become so before
planting time.
There are three essentials, it is said,
to really successful farming:-proper
preparation of the soil, including deep
plowing; adequate fertilization, which
is almost unknown in some communi-
ties; and the intelligent cultivation OF
the crop.-shallow cultivation being
about as important as deep plowing
in the preparation of the soil.
The farmers of Marlboro and Marion
counties, in South Carolina, have been
following these methods, and govern
ment cotton experts have declared
that if the increase in the produc-
tion of cotton had been as great
throughout the cotton belt as it has
been in Marlboro county during the
past few years, the South would to-
day be producing more than 100,OO0,00O
bales of cotton on the acreage that is
devoted to the staple, instead of the
eleven to twelve millions that are be-
ing produced annually; while if the
same Intensive system of farming is
followed with regard to other crops,
the yields from these, too, will be
doubled and trebled, or more.
