DUMPING REFUSE i'm
DUCK RIVER MUST Be
. sTOPPEDSAYSWARDtN
COMPLAINT COMES FROM PAR
TIES LIVING IN RIVERSIDE
THIS WEEK.
NOTICE WILL Be OBSERVED
Produce Men Say They Cannot See
Difference in Their Refuse and the
Sewerage Of the City That Goes
Into the Stream.

On complaint Of parties living in
Riverside, and also from parties fur
ther down tho river Game Warden
Matthews Gordon has taken steps to
stop dumping Of eggs and other re-
fuse from the produce houses In the
city into Duck river.
Parties living in Riverside COM
|plained that the rotten eggs and the
other refuse lodged on the sand bars
along the river near their homes and
when the wind was from the west
that the odor was almost unbearable
The game warden took the matter
|up with the state game warden, who
informed him that such dumping OF
|said refuse was pollution of the
stream and was therefore a violation
of the law, and all parties should be
SO notified and instructed to desist.
This notice has been served on the
produce men IT the city who say they
u
have no disposition to violate the Law
land will respect the order. They
take the position, however, that th,
refuse which has been thrown into
the river heretofore is Of no more
poisonous nature than the sewerage
of the city. and they fail to see the
distinction.
They further state that it is theil
opinion that the city should furnish
either cess pool or a furnace for the
reception Of the rotten eggs. dead
chickens and the refuse from dresse
poultry departments. The city All
Ithorities, however, have not agreed
that such an obligation exists. The
poultrymen state that the produce
business brings more than a mi,lior
dollars to Columbia annually, and
that the city should guard it with q
protecting hand.

FARMERS RUSHING
CATTLE AND HOGS
TO THE MARKETS
DRY WEATHER BURNING UP PAS
TuREs AND HURTING THE
CORN PROSPECTS.
MUCH OF STOCK IMMATURE
But Farmers Hold That II Is Better
to Sell at Slight Loss Than to
Keep Them and Risk Failure Of
the Corn Crop.

Dry weather and burned up pas
lures in the county are causing farm
|ers to unload cattle and hogs at
lively clip. The freight train from
here on last Saturday to Louisville
contained more than score of loads
of cattle and hogs, the product OF
Maury and Giles counties. 1t was
further augmented by additional loads
from Williamson county.
AS the result OF untoward farming
conditions much immature stuff is be-
ing rushed to market with a result
that cattle values have shown quite
la depreciation within the past week
or ten days. Cattle that will not be
mature and ought not be marketed
until next fail are being sold because
the pastures have dried up and the
prospects for corn are anything but
encouraging.
The same thing is true of hogs.
Farmers are selling shoats that are
Of Indifferent flesh at sacrifice be-
/. cause their supply OF old corn is run
ming low, their clover fields are
parched and the prospects for the
new crop Of corn anything but en-
couraging. But hogs have not suffer
/ ed any decline In price. but are
bringing about the best prices known
since the boom prices Of three and
four years ago.
A prominent farmer stated today
that he would have to sell his steers
although they were far from fat and
under ordinary conditions should take
at least 200 pounds more before they
went to the market in the fall. "How-
ever" he declared, my pastures are
gone and the cattle are really losing
in flesh every day. It is better to
sell at loss of half cent than
L to lose the fiesh."
About the only pastures in portions
of the county especially in the south
ern sections, that are holding out are
the creek bottoms The upland pas
lures are almost as brown as though
a killing frost was over the land

COMPULSORY SCHOOL
LAW AND|TS EFFECTS
IN CITY Of COLUMBIA
supT. HARRIS ANTICIPATES NO
Serious TROUBLE IN
OPENING.
ADDITIONS AT ATHENAEUA
Vocational Lines viii Be Featured
and Agriculture viii Be Particular
" stressed-Ground for Expert
mental Work.

When school opens at the Athenas-
nm ON September Is much better and
more encouraging conditions will pre-
vail than usual Notwithstanding the
additional attendance occasioned by
the result of the compulsory school
law.
The vocational lines that are TO be
added at the opening Of the term have
given new spirit to the conditions.
These will add agriculture, manual
arts and home economics, and while
all of these will receive the proper
sort of consideration it ID purposea
that the agricultural feature will per-
haps receive the larger portion Of the
attention. 1t will not be theoretical
matter at all, as there is almost two
acres of ground on the Athenaeum lot
that can be and will be used for expe-
rimental and demonstration purposes.
The state only contemplates a two
year course IN connection with the fl
nancial assistance it will render, but
the authorities at the Athenacnm
have reached a decision that it will
lengthen and perfect the course. A
feature of the last year will be a
course in soil chemistry which will en-.
able the pupil to analyze his soil and
thus determine the character Of fer.
tilizer or treatment necessary.
Work has been in progress at the
Athenaeu msereral weeks adding new
rooms incident to the additional fea.
lures and the effect Of the compulso-
ry school law. Two large new rooms
have been added and the arrangement
of the partitions in the other portions
of the building have given another,
making three excellent additions
which will be in readiness for the
opening.
Just what effect the compulsory law
will have on the city attendance has
not been determined, nor can 1t be
until practical and actual test il
made. The figures show that there il
an increase Of little more than 60C
in the scholastic population, which
raises the total Of said population f.
better than 1900 Last year there
were actually in the schools from the
corporate limits of the city LOAF, dur
ing the first month of the schools
This was increased during the fall
and winter very materially.
The compulsory law applies only tc
the ages of 8 to IA. Figuring that
Is per cent of this increase will be
above the age, then it Is estimated
by the school authorities that the in
crease over last year will be, includ
ing both white and black, 450 The
estiamte also that as between white
and blacks this will make the in
crease of whites 1S0 and the negroes
