Australia Rich in Libraries.

Victoria's (Australia) five .hundredth
free library was opened lately. One
and all of the older libraries are well
patronized. The gross revenue re-
ceived by them in the aggregate from
halls, members subscriptions, and
grants is about $4,000. There are
about million books in these libra
ries and it was claimed that some
thing like 100000 visits are paid to
them in a year, While works of fic-
tion are read to the greatest extent,
general literature and history receive
a good deal of attention.

Discuss Plans to Hold Cotton.

Sumter-At a meeting held in the
chamber of commerce hall, and called
at the request Of f. w. Dab6s, vice
president of the State Farmers union,
a number Of business men and farm
ers of this locality discussed the best
methods for holding and obtaining
the best prices for the cotton crop
about to be harvested.
Mr.. Dabbs stated that, ii this i'm
mediate section, there was not as
large a crop to be harvested as many
thought. He said that in some por-
tions of the northern part of the state
there had not been such a drought
since 1S45. He urged that the busi-
ness men cooperate with the farmers,
and that rumors OF an unusually large
crop be not allowed to stampede the
farmers into placing their cotton on
the market too swiftly. He urged
them to dispose of it slowly and not
to allow any slight advance to make
them part with their crop. He thought
that cotton ought to bring the same
price this year as last.

ARE HUNTING WATER
STATE eEoLoeIsT INsPEcTs THE
NEW WELL AT FURMkN,
SOUTH CAROLINA.
HOW SEARCH is SUCCESSFUL
An Interesting Description Of Method
Employed in the Low Country and
What it Means to the PeopIe-Many
Artesian Wells in State.

Columbia-Dr M. W. Twitchell,
state geologist, visited Furman in
Hampton county, in order to inspect
the deep well which has just been
completed there. The we'll is 9S5 feet
deep. The diameter of the boring
is 3 inches and a fine flow of excellent
water exceeding $50 gallons per min
ute is now rewarding the progressive
citizens of Furman. The well is own
ed by the town and cost about 81, 900.
Waterworks will be installed in the
near future, so that every house in
Furman will have its supply of this
pure, wholesome arteslan water.
When the waterbearing stratum was
reached and the powerful 3-inch
stream came out it brought along
quite number OF small shells and a
lot of sharks teeth, thus proving in
very striking way that Hampton
county and the adjacent region in
times past was covered By The ocean
long enough to allow the deposits Of
marine sediments to accumulate to
depth of nearly 1000 feet or more.
Furman is not the only place in
Hampton county having one Of these
deep strong flowing wells. Garnet has
one 1923 feet deep; Scotia, one Of
964 feet; Lena, one OF about 1000
feet; Varnville, one of S32 feet and
there are several others over 500 feet
in depth. In all there are over 25
wells over 200 feet deep In this one
county, most of which have been drill
ed within the last four or five years.
There are artesian wells in nearly
all Of the counties in the lower part
of the state Williamsburg seems to
be the banner county, having over 40
wells 200 feet or more in depth. AT
Lake City there are more than 15
wells. Georgetown county has a good
many, most Of them being between
40 and 600 feet deep. The Atlantic
Coast Lumber company at Georgetown
has eight or more for its own use, all
between 500 and 500 feet deep. The
deepest wells Of the state are those at
Orangeburg, depth 1,16O feet, Florence,
1,215 feet, Marion, depth 1,244 feet,

THE COTTON BILL
HAS BEEN ENACTED
THE HOUSE HAS AGREED TO THE
AMENDMENTS MADE IN THE
UPPER CHAMBER.
TAFT WILL VETO MEASURE
Debate Was Largely Perfunctory and
Was Not Confined to Cotton But
Ranged Widely Over Tariff Field
Vote Was Along Strict Party Lines.

Washington.-After a perfunctory
debate of four hours, the House con-
Cured, $50 to 107, in the Senate
amendments to the Underwood cotton
tariff revision bill. and sent that meas
ure to President Taft The bill, which
will be vetoed and will be embraced
in renewed tariff revision legislation
next December, would have cut the
cotton tariff on an average of Il per
cent ad valorem, and bore schedules,
tackled on by the Senate, reducing dil-
ties on iron and steel, cotton machin-
cry and chemicals and providing reci'
procal free admission of bituminous
coal across the Canadian border.
The vote was along strict party
lines except that eight Republican in
surgents joined the Democrats. Most
! of the insurgents who have been vot'
Ing with the majority on tariff meas
ures stood with the regulars, claiming
that the Senate amendments had not
been considered by a committee OF
either house.
The amended bill was considered
under a rule limiting debate to four
hours and barring amendments. This
rule, reported after unanimous con-
sent had been refused for a resolution
to the same effect, was the target for
| forensic broadsides from Republicans,
insurgents and regulars.
The Democrats were accused of re-
turning to a gag rule" which they
vigorously denounced when in the
minority. Democratic Leader Under
wood replied to these attacks by de-
claring that he made the arrangement
after a conference with Republican
Leader Mann and Representative
Payne, ranking Republican members
OF the ways and means committee,
who had said that it would be entire
ly satisfactory. The debate was not
confined to the cotton bill or its
amendments. The tariff generally and
various other things were touched up
on. Messrs. Underwood and Payne
closed the discussion. Mr. Under
wood said the amended bill was not
just what the majority wanted, but
1t was the best that could be secured
under the circumstances. He said II
was absurd to ask that the represen-
tatives Of the people wait on 1.-The
clerks and hirelings Of the President
(the tariff board) before enacting tariff

WHEAT FIGURES
FOR PAST YEAR
some INTERESTING STATISTICS
THAT WERE RECEIVED BY
COMMISSIONER WATSON.
RAISING OWN FOOD SUPPLY
Waste Of Money Spent For Things to
Eat Beyond the state--some statis-
tics on Rye Are Also Furnished
Yield Per Acre.

Columbia,-"It begins to look very
much as IL our people are at last 60
ing to realize the vital necessity OF
raising something to eat at home,
said Commissioner Watson in an.
nouncing the figures for the wheat
crop in South Carolina for this year
Statistics secured by the department
show. that the wheat crop is $685. ,000
bushels as against 4,93S,OOO bushels
for last year The average yield per
acre last year was 10 bushels and
this year ia bushels.
IL have presented at every meeting
] have attended, the facts in cold fig
ures as to the waste annually INDUCED
in for things to eat bought beyond the
borders Of the state. We have been
rocking along, for instance, sending
outside of the state every year for
-four the appalling sum Of $20,00O,OOO,
and most of it / am satisfied is about
the same class of product as we have
found corn meal to be. In 1908, un-
der the supervision of this department
q movement was launched for the in
crease of the wheat acreage OF the
state, and several meetings were held
that fall for the specific purpose OF
getting our people to undertake the
raising of wheat with view to home
consumption In one section alone
that year. 5000 acres which had never
been planted in wheat before was put
into cultivation. No result in agricul-
tural advance has been so gratifying
as that following this campaign, and
am happy to say that this result has
already contributed to our 1911 crop
record an increase over 1910 Of nearly
three-quarters of million dollars.
"The total wheat crop in 1880, in
this state was 692,35S bushels in 1900
on an acreage of 174,215 was only
1,017,319 bushels worth S95S,15S and
the average yield per acre was only 8
bushels. On yield per acre OF sos
bushels in 1907, the yield was 2,669,'
900 bushels, worth s3,203, 10000; in
1908 the average per- acre again went
to 9 bushels and the yield was 1888.
300 bushels worth s3,6S6, 100000.
