73,191 miles, have been authorized. To
insure prompt and accurate handling
of the mails throughout the extended
service, the force Of postal employees
has been increased by more than 12,-
900. Liberal compensation has been
provided for these employees and a
higher standard of efficiency thus en-
couraged. The amount expended for
salaries last year was approximately
s23. .00O, 900 greater than four years ago.
The average annual compensation has
been increased in this period from 1919
to $1,093 for postofflce clerks, from
$l,O21 to 81 092 for city letter carriers,
from $1,16S to s1,262 for railway postal
clerks and from 1859 to s1,062 for rural
carriers.

Under the primary system when g
self-constituted candidate in whom the
individual voter has no confidence, puts
himself forward, the individual voter
has the privilege of saying no thank
you. Under the convention system
many such candidates would be able by
pulling wires first one way and then
the other, to secure endorsement as the
party nominee and the individual voter
would have no way to help himself
without going to the general election
And 1t would not be great while be-
fore there would certainly be two par
ties in South Carolina.

The state warehouse bill is a specia
order in the senate for tonight and the
probability is that there will be some
strong speeches on the subject. AS
passed last year the bill sought to
pledge the credit of the state for the
purpose of building and acquiring
warehouses, and this feature Of it was
declared to be unconstitutional. The
promoters of the undertaking have
sought to get around this trouble by
levying an inspection tax Of rs cents a
bale on all ordinary cotton and so cents
a bale on all long staple cotton, calcu-
lating by this means to raise at least
$25O,O00 a year until the system is
thoroughly we'll established. 1t is like
ly that the main fight over the bill will
hinge on this proposition, for Of course
If the revenue feature fails, the whole
undertaking will have to fail with It.

Another Record for Marlboro.-An-
other Marlboro farmer has made rec
ord which probably cannot be equalled
anywhere.
Last year Eli Gibson, Of the Har-
mony section, planted a plot containing
one and five-eighths acres in Mexican
Big Boil cotton. The seed were obtain
ed from York county, upon recommen-
dation Of Editor w. D. Grist, Of The
Yorkville Enquirer.
The one and five-eights acres pro-
duced 1900 pounds of seed cotton.
which turned out 1875 pounds Of lint,
and 80 bushels of seed.
The seed were sod for $50, and the
lint can be sold at 12a cents a pound, or
$196.90. This makes the total $2S690.
or S176.55 per acre.

Although there are large number OF
people who will not be impressed with
Secretary Wilson's advice to the south
to go in for the raising of live stock,
the secretary is right. The raising Of
live stock beats lending money at in

desire to do so, to join the York Coun-

not delay about sending in their names

no fad; but something really practi-

ped cloakrooms on the first floor. The
auditorium occupies the full length of
the second story, and has a rostrum of
ample size and stage rooms. The Il"
room in the rear Is fully equipped with
stove and all necessary paraphernalia
for the Girls Cooking club.
There are four acres of land, divided
up in farm demonstration p.ats for
boys and garden plats for girls. In the
seed and berry that Is adapted to this
section is planted. The grounds are be-
ing enclosed with a 48 inch woven wire
fence.
There are three teachers, Prof. L. B.
Haynes, the principal, has devoted his
life to school work and Is one of the
leading educators Of the state. He went
to this school from the city schools of
Spartanburg. He Is assisted by Miss
Bonnie McClunney of Wilkinsville, who
has charge Of the primary classes, and
Miss Sue F. Covington Of Virginia in
charge Of the 5th 9Th and 7th grades
and the music department, both Of
whom are experienced and successful
teachers. Prof. Haynes has charge OF
the Sth, 9th and 10th grades.
The building and grounds-the build
ing has not yet been painted, but will
be-cost $4,000 and was paid for by
private subscriptions made by not over
16 or II citizens of the community.
Two Of the most liberal contributors
were Messrs. Jas. L. and VIM. r.
Walker, neither of whom are patrons
Of the school, but both Of whom are
large land owners and successful stock
raisers and planters in that section and
who fully appreciate the fact that they
can make no investment that is more
likely to pay as large dividends from
every standpoint as this school bids
fair to do.
There are comparatively few school
principles who receive larger salaries
than does Prof. Haynes and the lady
teachers also receive more liberal pay
than do many Of the lady teachers In
the majority of the large towns. The
school commenced work last October
and will run eight months. The COM
bined salaries Of the three teachers
will amount to $4,000, and Is largely
made up Of subscriptions by the same

~ The question Of the construction
Of county highways, which has come
to the front during the last two or
three days with greater interest than
ever before, is bringing UP a diversit :
Of comment, among which is the pro
pOsal that bonds be ISSUED at first fof
only a small portion of the road con
templated. That idea can hardly b"
advanced by those who have had eX-
perience in such matters in the pas.
for nothing is more certain than that
the sections which feel sighted in the
first project will defeat the bonds.
There is but one proper plan, but
one plan that can be carried through
and that is to design plan that WI
take care of all The main roads that
will require construction IN the near
future.
AS far as the road leading to t. 2
west ID toliCCI lltI, IL lIuo pCCII
accepted as the route for the stale
highway and state bonds have been
issued to provide for its construction
The county is thus relieved of The ne
cessity Of building that stretch, and
undoubtedly that road will be mad,
as good or better than county roa0s
that may be built.
The benefit which would accur,.
to the districts lying off the main high =
ways will be as great as those directly
on the highways, for the farmers IN
those districts would have the benefit
Of the main arteries and they would
also have the benefit of the road funds
of the several districts being wholly
diverted to the feeders Of the high
ways.
At the present time a great portion
of the county road money is used on
Imperial avenue and Oh the cross
country main road, while with these
roads paved they would not need this
district road money, and it would be
wholly used on the feeders.
The saving to the farmers in being
able to haul their produce to market
much more economically would make
good roads a splendid investment, and
the Press is not certain but The scheme
ought TO be extended beyond that pro
posed.
Brawley, in demanding that there be
a bigger allowance of road in the north
end of the valley, in the opinion of the
Press is absolutely in the right, and il
is question if there ought not to D.:
provision for reaching from Brawlny
eastward, thence south through Holt
vile into No. :, and from Brawley east
ward into No. and southwark TO
Dixieland.
such project would imply good
deal larger bond issue, but there can
be no doubt that the actual saving 20
the farmers would vastly more than
pay the interest and principal Of the
bonds.

while milking nine cows, used to
milk and separate with the two ma
chimes iii is minutes, but ! believe ;t
is better to allow a little longer, So
now ! allow an hour for that work.
1.-The cost Of operating is so small i
is hardly noticeable, as a gallon of dis
tillate runs the machine week, AMI
there is no other expense. except teat
cups, which are a very small factor"
While most users strip behind the
machines, Mr.. Whitmore does not, and
has this to say on the subject:
'At first l, like most others was
afraid Of the results, so was very care
full to see that each COW was MIXED
dry, and in fact still am.
when l see that the COW is about
MIXED, thoroughly knead the uddcr
with my hands, and by doing so find
that the machine does its work thor
oughly. and although have repeated
ly tried to strip behind the machine, !.
have never been able to get any more
milk.
AS TO whether | like them or not, /,
you may say that if it were not for
the machines | would not stay in the
dairy business, and although am only
milking a few now, | expect to keep
| more all the time, and the machines
will be always used in the place Of
| hand mixers"
In concluding, it should be said that
| one favorable point with the machines
Is that after cow becomes accuS-
toned to the machine she will give
down Just as much to one operator as
she Will to another 50 that any loss in
This manner is overcome.
AS 10 their simplicity, once the prin-
clple is understood they do not require
any great mechanical Ingenuity to run
them and are much simpler than most
| other farm machinery such as mowers
binders, etc.
Last, but not least of the good
things to be said Of them Is the more
sanitary way they do their work than

claiming that fat from machine milkai

MECHANICAL VS.. HAND
LABOR ON THE DAIRY

Written for the Pacific Rural Press
by j. c. LOOMS: As large proportion
Ct the dairy industry Of the state is 10
Gated in the large interior valleys. and
"a almost always these valleys are very
warm during the summer months. the
labor problem is quite often a serious
one.
This is more noticeable during the
summer months, also on account of the
haying season and the large amount Of
development work in other than land
Improvement which makes large de-
mand for unskilled workers.
To call mixer an unskilled work
man is not perhaps classifying him
properly, as it certainly is a trade, il
done properly, but at any rate the
mixer often prefers doing other kinds
Of work during the hot weather months
than to set in warm barn, between
two equally as warm animals, for sew
eral hours day milking.
On dairies where one string or less
is MIXED, the dairyman can often find
time to do his own milking, but it is
hard work and is very combining, and
besides it often diverts ones time from
managing the business in other re-
spects.
We may say, then, that the milking
question is one Of the big drawbacks
to dairying, and to solve it means to
put the industry not only on a much
sounder footing, but also a more pleas
ant one.
Along this line, we have had a great
