Paint Your Wire Fence.

The practice Of painting wire fenc-
ing Is by no means as common as it
should be. Repeated experiments
have shown that even the best of gal
vapized wire is improved and its Pc
riod Of usefulness extended by coat
OF paint. The cost is very slight,
about one cent per rod. The main
difficulty is to get a kind of paint
tLar will work successfully over wire.
Paints that prove very satisfactory
for buildings are not always suited
for this class of work. A basic
chrome green paint Is recommended
b! some but in general we would ad-
wise the man who wishes to paint his
fence to get the opinion of some one
who understands the paint business
thoroughly before making his select
ticn.

The reports sent out from this city
last week and published IN The News
ard Courier about hazing at Clemson
College were fully justified by the
talk heard here on the streets. There
seems TO have been no grounds for
the reports but It was surely assert
ed here by responsible people that
there had been several cases OF severe
hazing at Clemson College in which
O-angeburg boys we're the victims.
The later contradiction OF the hazlng
stories does not change the fact that
tie reports sent out oy The News and
Courier correspondent were current
and were being discussed generally
in this city, and In our judgment
was legitimate item OF news.

Fifteen Million Bales Needed.

Business men. travelling in the in
terest Of cotton mills and visiting
mill centers in Europe as we'll as in
this country, agree in the conclusion
that the world will need fifteen mil
lion bales of cotton this wear. ANY
amount under that number will be
a short crop. A fourteen million bale
crop should give US fine prices for
cotton. Taking all reports as they
come in and putting them together,
the indications are that fourteen
rrillion bales will be raised this year.

WOMAN in AUTO FLEES
AFTER HITTING CYCLlS1

UNION HILL, May 21.-while Michael
Tuetmigian, a mechanic, of Summit aud
Highpoint avenues, West Hoboken, was
speeding down Hudson Boulevard, near
Blum street, last night on a bicycle he
was run down by a large touring car
driven by a woman.
There were several men and women In
the automobile, and, according to spec
%tators, it could easily have swerved
around the bicyclist. Instead of doing
this, however, the woman at the wheel
footed her horn vigorously and speeded
right up behind Tuetmigian.
Tuetmigian, hearing the horn. imme-
diately behind him, tried to escape at
the last moment by swerving to the
right. but the front wheel of the auto
struck his own rear wheel. He fell clear
OF the automobile, but his bicycle was
caught under the car and was demolished
The automobile was not In any way in
jured, and the woman, according to spec
%tators, threw on power and quickly dis
appeared down the dark street.
The sidewalks of the boulevard were
filled with the usual Sunday night crowd,
aud ~Tuetmigian was picked up and car.
ried into a drug store. He was taken
in an ambulance to the North Hudson
Hospital, where 1t was found that two of
his ribs were broken. but that he was
not fatally injured. Some of the specta-
tors thought they saw the number of
the car before 1t disappeared. The police
hope In this way TO be able to find the
owner of the car today.
