Agricultural Department is Most
Important In State.

Columbia.-For weeks there have
been persistent rumors regarding
changes contemplated in the state
department Of agriculture. These re-
ports have caused so much comment
throughout the state because OF the
great interest the public has taken
in the work that has been accom-.
plished by the department of agricul'
ture under Commissioner watson
Some things are known; about
others there is conjecture and some
differences.
The following seems to be the stu
alton: @.l
Ira w. Williams, United States farm
demonstration agent for South Caro-
lima has been transferred from this
state to Georgia, supposedly because
of opposition by the governor.
e. J. Watson is to be displaced
when his term expires in March. His
place, offered to one or two others be

of Newberry.
OF all the departments Of the state
government there is more patronage
attached to the Office OF the depart
ment Of agriculture than any other
The state department Of agriculture
is constituted as follows and receives
the following appropriations,
Direct appropriation about $4,000
About $4,000 is received from the
feed stuffs stamps. This work EN-
ploys about ten men, including IN
spectors and chemists.
The legislature appropriates $40,
600 for the United States farm dem
o~nstration work and an additional ap
preparation of $4,000 is received
from the national department of agri
culture. The state aid is included in

BONDS HAVE BEEN RATIFIED
Or. L. M. Hooks Signature Makes the
issue vaIid-The Money Covering ;
Face Value Was Deposited.

Columbia.-The remaining and nec-
essary signature to the bonds for
the purpose of having and making
free the toll bridges yer Broad river
and Congaree river was secured,
when DR.. L.. M. Hooks signed the
bonds. The sum covering the face
value of the bonds-s75, 0O0-was i'm
mediately placed in a local bank to
the credit Of the county board, and
the bonds were forwarded to the at
torneys of the purchasers, Townsend
Scott and Son, of Baltimore, for their
approval. The bonds, ranging in de-
nominations from 500 to $1,000, and
handsomely Autographed, were re-
ceived by the. county commissioners
from the engrayer several days ago.
The bond issue was discussed at a,
meeting of the county board held In
the supervisors Office several days
ago. Under the law it was necessary
before the bonds became valid, for
each\ of the commissioners to afix
his signature. ALL signatures were Be-
cured except that Of N. Hook of
EastoHer, commissioner from Lower
township, who is Ill at Knowlton's
Infirmary, and his physician did not
think it advisable for him to sign the
124 bonds of the issue at that time;
the task was too great for his
strength. But he a well enough
to sign and make legal the bonds.
The matter Of the free bridges Is
in the hands of a commission, con-
tsisting Of w. G. Childs; chairman:
George c. Taylor, secretary; j.. B..
Friday, j., Pope Mathews and DR.. G.
L. Kibler. 1t is this commission,
which will have exclusive charge of
the disposition of the funds for free
bridges, although the money itself
is retained by the county commission
ers, and paid out by them upon the
order of the bridge commission. =
The deal has been practically
closed, it is understood, for the
Broad river bridge, but some compli.
cations have arisen in regard to the
Gervais street bridge.

MORE THAN HALF OF

Conservation Congress Speaker Says
$4,000 of Annual Deaths Are
Really PTeventable.

Indianapolis. Ind, Oct. 2.-"Out of
some 100000 deaths annually in the
United States. at least 100000 are pre-
ventable," declared Prof. Irving Fisher,
of Yale university. in his address before

Surance companies and the federal gov

to which the people of the country must
look for the saving of human life.
AS a first step in the great works of
human conservation, Prof Fisher urged

Of choosing a player like BCmeister,
the Princeton and Harvard games, ana
were opposed to Ketcham owing to his
poor passing in the last two games An
all-American center should be not only
a great player but also a certain passer
There are many who figured that Bud
Smith of Harvard on account of his
consistent showing should have been
selected in place of Bomeister and that
BIuethe1thal Of Princeton should have
been given preference over KetchaIn
Tor the above reason. It will be inter-
eSting to watch the rivalry again this
year between ketcham and Bluethen-
thai, who is the best lineman that
Princeton has left from last year s
championship team. Phillips at tackle
and Dunlap, who played end last year
but is being tried out at tackle this sea
son, are the only other veterans Both
are light for the present tackle posi-
ton. The loss of Hart, Duff and VIII
son in the line will be keenly felt at
Princeton.
Harvard has storer aud Hitchcock,
both veteran tackles, but light for the
ruShlng game Parmenter at center
and FELTON, and O'Brien at ends are re-
liable players, yet none of them has so
lar ranked among the best players in
their positions.
The showing Of the Yale eleven
against Wesleyan was extremely crude.
yet at the same time the team showed
a great deal of potential power and as
far as material concerned has a shade
the better of either Harvard or Prince

During the recent campaign Foster was
not allied either with the ring or anti
ring factions.
According to the decision of judge A.
N. Walthall. who held Tuesday after
noon that the notice of contest in the

court does not issue a writ of man
damuS Foster will be opposed to J. A
Escajeda. who has been conceded as the
Democratic nominee of the primaries
The name of Escajeda will be on the
official ballot If the supreme court does
not sustain the contention Of the con-
testants, but the voter desiring to cast
his ballot for Foster could write the
candidates name on the ticket
Judge Walthan Tuesday afternoon
stated that his decision applied to all
of the contested election suits in which
the county offices were involved and as
a result of that ruling, the cases have
been thrown out of court.

Rainfall, and Consumptlon,

"A study of the influence of rain
bearing winds upon the prevalence Of
tuberculosis has been made by DR..
William Gordon, physician to the
Royal Devon and Exeter hosnita!.
After classifying several Devonsaire
parishes according to their exposure
to rainy winds, DR.. Gordon searched
out in precisely which parishes the
deaths from consumption during a re-
ries Of years had mainly occurred. He
found that the death rate in the par.
ishes exposed to rain bearing winds
was generally twice as high as that
OF the parishes sheltered from them.
Further Investigations were conducted
in many other localities, among ITEM
the city OF Exeter. The result was
the same. DR.. Gordon declares that
the important point to consider in the
choice Of a residence for consumpt,yes
Is the matter Of shelter from the rain
bearing winds Of the locality, exposure
to which is a more serious matter than
altitude, character of soil, or even the
amount Of rainfall.-Youth's Com
panion.
