The teachers of the Edgefeld
graded school have with their un
usual unselfsh activity, organized
themselves into School Improve
ment Association, for the improve
ment OF the comfort and beautify-
ing of the buildings used by our
children of Edgefeld as well as for
the purpose of rendering more at

are no more efficient or progressive
or we'll equipped teachers in the
state than these in Edgefeld, and
this latest endeavor of theirs is in
keeping with their usual unselhsh
purposes.
The graded school of EdgeGeld
should be the most attractive place
in all Edgeield, because it is there
that all of our children together
spend half of their making hours.
Our school ought to compare fa'
vorably with every other school III
South Carolina and as the teachers
have taken the initiative in this
worthy undertaking, let the mothers

Give Your Boy an Education.
What is the money value of an
education? The average reduced to
individual cases would be something
like this: Two boys, age IA, are
both interested in mechanics. One
goes into the shops, the other into
technical school. The boy in The
shops starts at 81 a week, and by
the time he is 1s he 10 getting
81. At that age the other boy is
leaving school and starting work at
$40 8 week. At 20 the shop-trsin-
ed young fellow is getting $3.50
and the technical graduate $l5; at
% the formers weekly wages is
$ll.5O, and the latter's $40; and by
the time they are both 25 the shop
worker finds $12.75 in his pay en-
velope while the technically trained
man draws a salary of $3l.
These figures are based on study
of 5000 actual workers made by
the Massachusetts commission for
industrial and technical education.

semer $3.50; old range non-besse-
mer, 50 .O5 and Mesaba non-besse-
mer, 81. .85. 1t is believed the
lower prices will bring considerable
eastern business to the Lake Super
ior ore shippers, although foreign
and eastern ore sellers are showing
a disposition to meet the quotations.
Last year large buyers of foreign
ores sought Lake Superior ore,
but could not obtain a price that
was low enough. They have again
entered the market this spring for
some fairsized tonnages. Ocean
freight rates are so high and deliv-
cries so uncertain that the Lake
Superior ores will be on a competi-
tive basis. ~-
The standard of the sales was
the same as for, several years, SIS
per cent guarantee on bessemer
ores and 81 per cent on non-besse-
mers. Everything indicates some
large sales will be made in the near
future as ore at these prices, the
lowest in a number of years, is
considered a good purcha ase for
stocking up.

Handed Something

Judge Martin Hughes in District
Court Monday imposed the first
life, sentence of the year on
Michaelangelo Gentilcare who was
convicted of killing scountryman
in Virginia on December 27. In
,proaouncing sentence Judge
Hughes spoke as follows:
The jury that tried you in Vir-
ginia was most merciful in consid-
Grafton of the evidence. said
Judge Hughes. You murdered
that man in cold blood. You be-
lieved that, he took your money
and without determining wether
he did or not, without taking re-
course to the, law as you should
have done, you loaded a revolver
and laid in wait for your victim.
When you accused him of taking
the money and he denied that he
had done. so, you gave him no
chance to prove his innocence, but
murdered him, when he was
defenseless and completely at your
mercy"
Human life is sacred in this
country, and you foreigners must
learn that you cannot wantonly de-
stroy it with out suffering the
severest penalties of the law. "

Decreases and Increases

The year 1911 was characterized
by some marked decreases and in
creases says the Virginian. On
the Mesaba, the production of the
Adams decreased from 1,25S, ,295
tons to Ali, 1868 tons. The Biwa-
blk produced less than half in 1911
of the tonnage of 1910. One of
the most surprising decreases was
that of the Burt, which fell from
1,032,815 tons in 1910, to So, SOC
tons in 1911. The famous old
Fayal declined from ,4S5, ,099 tons
to 434 364 tons. On the other
hand, the Genoa increased from
283, 200 tons to 923, AIT tons. The
Hull-Rust declined from 3.18e, ,975
tons to 1867 tons. The Morris,
after being in the million-ton class
since 1905 dropped from l, ,364,-
673 tons to 40,481 tons. The
Sauntry-Alpena is one of the sur
prises of the year, increasing from
242, 373 tons to 1,057,8 tons.
The great Stevenson property
which left the million-ton class in
1910, dropped last year to 5OO,321
tons, the lowest output since the
year of its opening, 1900. The
Virginia group. of the Oliver Iror
Mining Co.. declined from 992 ).

Ely Won Friday

The Aurora boys came up Fri
day and that evening were trimm-
ed according to program at the
Lincoln gymnasium by our High
Shool braves. The local team had
asserted all week that they would
get even for the defeat of the week
previous at Aurora and no sooner
had they gotten on the floor than
the work was taken up. with a will
that accomplished the desired
result.
The, game was fast and well
played on both sides. Team work
predominated and not so much of
the individual playing was prob
ably accountable for the victory in
favor of our team. The attendance
was fair. The score was 10 to IL.
The Lincoln 9th grade and the
High School 7th put on scrappy
little contest before and between
the halves of the main event which
resulted in victory for the Lin
coin boys.

Reduced Charges

Ore handling charges on Lake
Erie docks are to be reduced about
one-half. It is probable that the
new charge will be or s cents,
compared with Is cents during the
last two years, says the Iron Trade
Review. Owing to the marvellous
increase in efficiency of unloading
machines, the 15-cent charge has
become excessive. The new
freight rate from the head of the
lakes will probably be 55 cents,
and, if the unloading charge is cut
to 8 cents and the freight rate to

"The prices are Improbable for
all of the operators and some
of them would have to operate at
loss if they were to contract to
deliver their product at the present
prices.
1.-The result will be that all of
the independent iron ore producers
whom force of circumstances does
not force to produce will not be in
the market to sell ore. They will
wait for an advance in prices, and
it will take place soon, if l am not
mistaken. I look to see profitable
prices for iron ore between now
and July /, and I look for pros
porous season for the producers if
they will not get excited and let
their ore go for less than what it is
worth. The independent opera
tors who also have furnace interests
will, as a rule, sell no ore at the
present prices, and most of the in
dependents will be able to hold off :.
This iron ore is worth nothing, or
it is worth a price which shows a
profit to the producer"
"A good many of the independ-
ent mining companies of Mime
sofa will be inactive at the present
prices. Independents who mine
their ore for their own furnaces
will keep going on that basis, and
some of them that have plenty of
ore and ascent leases may sell
some, but not very freely. A few
of the Independents have large
obligations to meet, and they will
have to turn ore into money, even
if they don't make much profit, to
take care of investments in other
directions.

SIS cents, the net gain to the vessels
will be 2 cents per ton; or, on
movement of 10000, 900 tons, an
increase of $500, 900 in receipts,
while the ore shippers would save
2 cents per ton, or $4,000, 900.
This change is more important
than appears at first glance, as it
indicates a much more equitable
arrangement not only as to the
relations of the vessels and the
docks, but also as to those of diff
ferent competing steel companies
which under the new arrangement
will be working upon more
equitable basis than in past years.
and no one will have an unfair
advantage because of ownership or
control of dock facilities.

Independents Forced to

A dispatch from Cleveland of We'd
nesday had the following regarding
ore prices:
In an open market iron ore
prices for 1912 were today estab-
lished by actual sales of 1,5O0, 900
tons of Lake Superior ores. Bes-
semer ores were reduced IS cents a
ton and non-bessemer 65 cents.
There was one sale reported at a
reduction of SO cents a ton, but
the majority of the sales were at
the lower prices. The slashing of
prices was not entirely unexpected,
as Pittsburg interest was reported
week ago to have entered the
market with the quotations which
are now effective. This was fol-
lowed by actual sales by Cleveland
firms who met the prices. Several
firms sold ore at the current prices.
The new ore figures are: Old

Our White Way

Mr.. Hillman representing the
Flour City Ornamental Iron Works
was in the city Tuesday and met
with the city council that evening.
His firm was given the contraction
furnishing the city with 7S Corin-
THAN Slight standards at 1000
each with one 16-inch and four l2-
inch globes. Four of the standards
are to be equipped with seats for
fire alarm boxes. The standards
are to be delivered when needed
which will probably be as soonras
the frost leaves the ground.
With the installation of the
white way this city will be onerof
best lighted towns on the ranges.
The FIVE light standards are torbe
placed in the business district and
single light standards or posts will
be put up in the residents portion.
This means that ive lights will
grace the full length of Sheridan
street and up to the city Hall on
Chapman street. The busines
avenues will also have five light
standards.
The council also acted on an
ordinance changing the names on
the avenues by designating what is
now known as First Avenue as
Central Avenue. Second avenue
now as First avenue and so on up.
This was found necessary owing to
the division of the city east and
west thus furnishing a central or
starting point for the house
numbers. The names of the
streets are to be put into the con-
crete blocks Oh each and every
corner when the cement sidewalks
will be laid in the spring.
