Rev. W. P. White. pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Albany, and
party of friends stopped over night
at Newport while on their way nome
from a trip through the Alsea
country in an auto. Rev. White
said that in passing from the Upper
to the Lower Alsea valley he was
directed to take the n:w wagon
read recently constructed on the
north side of the river. This, he
said. was a great mistake and if
he could get hold of that fellow 81
would picth him in the river" He
found the grade narrow and the
road crooked and it was hard to
keep the machine from going over
the grade. Mr.. White said the
people ought to make good roads
before asking the public to travel
them. especially with autos.
DR.. Belt and wife stayed over
night at Newport while on their
way to Portland. The Doctor said
he and his wife walked fifteen miles

DR.. Belt is the Southern Pacific

Teachers Nee lnQ.

Batesb1rg, March 2lth-One of the
most delightful and instructive meet
ings in the history of the Lexington
County Teachers Association was
held in the auditorium here Saturday.
Those of the teaching force of the
county who were not here missed a
rare treat. It was indeed a meeting
well worth attending and there was
none present who did not reap much
benefit from the talks and discussions.
The Association met promptly at
eleven O'Clock and was called to order
by the acting President. After a short
invocation by Prof. Seawell of the
school here, DR.. E. Q. Ridgell, speak.
ing for the people Of Batesburg, vel
coined most heartily the Association
to the town. Prof. Black of the Lex
ington Schools responded in a few
we'll chosen words and in his usual
happy manner. At this point the sub
iect matter of the meeting was taken
up, namely; "The Teaching of Read
ing in the Public Schools" The dis
cussion was opened by the reading of
a splendidly prepared paper by Miss
Williamson of the school here, after
which the meeting was turned into
Round Table talk, which was most
interesting. This was entered into with
much spirit, the different teachers
taking part by giving their expe-
rience, telling of the defects in the
teaching of reading, and discussing
ways and means of correcting these
defects and raising the standard Of
reading in the schools. The second
part of the program was filled by Prof.
Colcock, Dean of the Department Of
Mathematics at the University Of sc.
Prof. Colcock knew just how to appeal
to the teachers, and in few minutes
those who had not known him before
felt that he was indeed one of them.
This meeting of the Association was
planned with the veiw of having the
public preseut and there was quite an
audience composed of the people of
Batesburg and surrounding country.
The teachers of the State realize that
if they canget the public to tax, an
interest in the school work, it will
mean much to the schools and to the
State, SO tor this reason the next
meeting of the Association which will
be held in Lexington is to be turned
into an educational rally. One of the
most pleasant features of the program
was the music furnished by the girls
of the High School. After the exercise
had been concluded all present were
served with picnic luncheon by the
ladies of the town.

Our NeWberry Letter.

One of our noted farmers remarked
a few days ago thai he had SO mules
standing in the stables and negroes
in proportion, all of which had to be
fed. He said if the rain continued
much longer, he certainly would have
10 be taken down to the big house in
Columbia.
The saying goes you can judge a
man from the company he keeps, more
especially the company of ladies; that
actions speaks louder than words;
that our Editor of the Herald and
News would be more pleasant if he
would take unto himself helpmeet.
Mr.. Editor, it would be gratifying
to know the intentions of our Legisla-
tors. Some years ago when they en-.
acted law thatin civil case where
there are two parties interested and
had counsel employed, and the trial
was by jury at the conclusion Of
the case, the counsel on the winning
side walks up to the foreman of the
Jury and hands him one dollar, We
know of our own knowledge that at
at our last spring term of the Court of
Common Pleas, one juror acted as
foreman on four different cases and
after court adjourned sine die, he
went to the Clerk of Court and asked
him what must he do with the money?
The Clerk replied that he had no au-
thority over it. What was the inten-
ton of the legislators when they pass
ed such law? Let some good, OPEN
hearted public servant explain this
law TO the readers of the Dispatch in
q few words, provided that it is agree
able to the Editor. b. b. II.

Engineers Start Work to Connect Po.

CONDEMNATION TO FOLLOW

At the request Of the Department of
Justice work was started yesterday by
District Surveyor Hazen on the survey
preparatory to the condemnation pro-
ceedings to be instituted by the United
States to acquire land to connect Po-
tomac. Rock Creek and Geological Parks
The engineers began their operations in
the woodley Park section and the plot
ting Of their maps will foreshadow many
changes In the ownership Of the lands
In that part OF the city. The survey is
the first step Of the commission of which
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo is
chairman. and which was appointed by
Congress to acquire lands for the con-
nection of the parking system OF Wash
ington.
One Of the old landmarks that falls In
the line Of the surveyors new work is the
old Beginning Stone of Washington
called for in the original deed of the
city. This will be preserved. however.
when the improvements are started.
There will be a number of other land
marks that will be disturbed, however.
They are the unsightly piles of ashes
along Rock Creek that year by year
have been dumped along the creek in
spite Of all the efforts Of the Commits
sioners to prevent the practice.
Various families OF '.squatters" who
have settled along the creek will also
have to hnd other abodes when the sur
veyors are through with their task.
Included In the line Of the survey are
the old Ord tract at Twenty-third and p
streets, a part OF the Oak Hill Cemetery.
the Lyon Mill tract between Massachu-
setts Avenue and Rock Creek Park and
several other points Of historic interest.

PLANS DISCUSSED
TO HELP FARMERS
Preideat Dsvises Way 10 Spsld
$S0,0oo for he Division
Of Marksts.

President Wilson is intensely interested
in plans for Q division of markets In the
Department Of Agriculture. through
which 1t is hoped to benefit both the
farmer and the consumer by eliminating
the middleman a. far as possible.
The President had Q long conference
with Secretary of Agriculture Houston
and statistical experts OF the department
yesterday on plans for expending the
$4,000 appropriated at the last session
OF Congress for the division Of markets.
The importance Of rural credit systems
and other farmers' benefit organisations,
which are to be investigated By the Agrf-
cultural Commission appointed by the
President this week. also was taken up It
this conference.
Arguments that more than 50 per cent
Of the market price Of the annual crops
Of the country Is spent handling the
crop after 1t leaves the hands Of the
farmer have been brought to the Presi-
dents attention. 1t has been estimated
that the crop OF 1919 will yield q. 900 ooo. 900
to the producer. while the same crop by
the time 10 reaches the consumer will
have increased in cost to 81, 900. .000. 900.
The current appropriation Is to be used
in investigating marketing methods, CO.
operative and otherwise. in this country
and in Europe, the demand for farm
products At the various food centers. and
in devising plans for marketing 30 as to
make possible the handling of farm prod
ucts at a reduced cost. This information
Is to be furnished the farmers through
out the country free.
