passed to third reading yesterday
morning Senator Carlisles bill to re-
quire the attendance at some school
Of all children between the ages of
s and II years in the city of Spartan
burg for four months each year. Mr..

tinue the bill The enforcement of
the measure is put in the hands of
the school trustees of Spartanburg
who are empowered to appoint truant

attendance hill becomes law, the spe-
cial Spartanburg bill will be killed

who confessed to killing Policeman
Barwick at Pinewood some time ago,

CONCRETE WORK NEARLY COM
PLETED.
Will Soon be Ready To Install New
Misunderstanding Foundation for
Coal Chute.

The concrete work on the new
turn table in the Atlantic Coast Line
freight yard is now nearly completed
and the site will soon be ready for
the installation Of the big seventy
foot turn table which was sent here
some time ago to be placed in the new
yard. The foundation has been fin
ished and the surrounding walls are
now nearly completed.
At the coal chute a sufficient depth
has been reached in the excavation
and men are now at work putting in
the concrete foundation for the
building. This will take some time
yet, as the concrete has to be given
time to settle and dry before further
work is commenced. The contrac-
tor has had considerable trouble in
his excavation here on account Of
water and quicksand.
The track over the cinder pit is
now being laid, the workmen having
already completed the embankment
on one side and being now engaged in
building up the track on the other
The track leading into the pit, where
cars will be loaded with the cinders
is also being laid.
Besides these improvements now
under way it is probable that in the
near future new set of scales will
be placed on the lead track for
weighing cars and a ladder track
provided, so that engines can be
cleaned more easily than heretofore
An y. c. l.. engineer from Rocky
Mount arrived the first of the week
to act as inspector for the railroad,
while the more particular parts Of the
work is being done. Mr.. +. j. Schab-
elitz, the contractor, has a good force
of hands employed and the work is
proceeding steadily.

POTENCY OF THE PLOW.
n Thing to BE Thought of When
Speaking About National Life.

The plow tells the story Of civiliza-
ton and advancement more eloquent
ly than any other agency having to do
with the building Of nations. Even
more potent is the plow than institu-
tlons of learning-our schools, col
leges and universities, says The Hous-
ton Post Delving into the musty rec
ords Of the past we find that the ma
tions that depend upon other agen-
cles than the plow to place them upon
pedestal Of permanent prosperity
were the first to decay. Universities
and academies are wonderful agencies
Of refinement. They are great build
ers of character and develop the best
in human nature. They train the mind,
sharpen the wits, strengthen the ener-
gies and give deXterity to the hand.
Ii is from these institutions the war
riors go forth trained in military sci
ence. 1t is from them emerge the ar
tisan, the poet, the statesman, the his
torians Of a nation and an age. These
fill their places and fill them we'll but
they can never supplement the plow
in developing the resources of a coun-
try nor can they without the potent
influence Of the plow build up a ma
tion
The warrior may conquer q country
and put the resisting hosts to the
sword, but the plow must supply the
food TO the conquering army. States
men shape the nations policy, but the
plow alone develops its latent re-
sources. The poet arouses the pariot-
ism of people and spurs them on to
deadly conflict with the invading hosts,
yet the plow must furnish the sinews
of war. Money and labor may build
great cities, but their permanent pros
perity must depend upon the plow. 1t
Is the magic influence Of the plow that
makes the desert bloom and blossom.
Remove the plow from a
country and our powerful banks
would topple. Factories and ware
houses would be confused and close
their doors and the dominion OF busi-
ness would be convulsed and shaken
| with distress filling the streets.
We look upon the locomotive that
pulls the palace cars across the great
desert and admire the ingenuity and
greatness of its massive wheels, its de-
| fant scream. II Is q magnificent crea-
tion, has muscles OF power and endur-
| ance, has fleetness of limb and bright
ness Of eye But withdraw the plow
and II stands cold, lifeless and inert.
exhibiting no Herculean strength. But
with the plow turning the sod and lay
Ing the furrow and planting the grain,
the match is applied and its great
massive wheels reveal their power and
grandeur and at the bidding Of IT'S
master IL rushes across the continent,
stimulating business and supplying
| food to the world
Where the plow occupies a place in
every home OF a nation that nation
may be assailed, but never conquered
1t will be invulnerable TO the invading
hosts. But nation without the plow
will crumble into decay as the invad-
ing army marches over its plains. A
nation cannot endure when It's inhab-
itants are hungry.

How To Get More Farm Power.

There is just one point in regarl
10 the increase in the supply Of farm
work-stock to which we wish to call
attention. The horse and mule f,,r-
nish power at high cost This is made
especially so in the South, because we
BUY large quantities Of feeds and
pay not only the cost of producing
them, but also high freight and other
handling charges, and because our
cropping system and crops result in
these farm working animals being
idle too many days, while the cost of
their keep is regular and constant. If
we used fewer mules, which do not
reproduce, and more mares, or if we
bred more Of the mares now used,
this cost Of maintenance, in propor-
ton to working days, would not be so
high. But these are not what We es-
pecially want to call attention to.
There Is a marked tendency TO
increase the number and size of the
farm work animals, but we fear there
is not always the most wise or full
est use Of this increased horse or mule
power.
Unless the increased number Of
horses and mules is used to advan-
tage, their possession is a source Of
loss rather than gain. There are al
ways rush periods on the farm when
more animals can be used proftably
than it would be economical to keep
throughout the year, simply to have
them available for these rush pc
| riods. We can not afford to keep
months work. We must plan to keep
them busy, and if there is not farm
work for them to do except for a
few months each year, they must be
made to produce young, or it will not
be profitable to keep the increased
numbers. OF course, a better planning
of crops and work will provide more
continuous work; but the fact must
always be kept in mind that an idle
horse or mule is a most expensive
portion of the farm equipment
Again, We fear that the increase in
the weight Of our farm work stock,
which is apparent to any careful OBJ
server, is not used to the full extent
practicable or desirable. If an LOO
pound mule is to be used to pull the
mule formerly pulled, the gain is
doubtful. In fact, if one-horse i'm
plements are to be used, the heavy
mule or horse has little, if any, ad-
vantage in work accomplished, over
the light mule, and he always costs
from $50 to 800 more when pur-
chased and requires more feed to
Keep him. To use, economically, the
larger numbers of farm work animals
which we are providing, we must keep
them busy as many days out Of the
year as possible, and must use more
two-and three-hOrse implements.
Moreover, larger implements, doing
more or better work, are essential, if
larger and more powerful horses and
mules are to be more efficient and
economical than the smaller ones we
have used in the past-Tait Butler,
