New Bills.

Z number of new bills have been
'9;,odaced but at this stage it is i'm
possible to predict anything as to re-
suits. a child labor bill proposing to
raise the age limit, compulsory edu-
cation bill, to sell or not TO sell the
$50 acres of land owned by the State
in the city of Columbia on which Is
ne asylum, and numerous other pro-
Dositions will engage the attention OF
the lawmakers for the remainder Of
The session. Questions of taxation
and assessment of property always
engage a good deal of attention and
too frequently without good results.

CORN CLUB WORK
WORTH MILLIONS
South Entering New Era of AgricuI-
turaI Production, Declares
RI. G. Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga-(N )ecial. )-That the
Boys Corn Club movement means
great deal more to the South than
the average citizen has ever dreamed,
is the conclusion presented in an in
teresting interview by II. G. Hastings
Of Atlanta, chairman Of the agrlcul-
tural committee OF the Atlanta Cham
Der OF Commerce and manager of the
Georgia State Corn Show, which Is
presented annually in the. state capl-
tol building.
1--WE are facing" says Mr.. Hastings,
IAN era Of agricultural production such
as the world has never before wit
messed. Every year since the first
corn club was organized, the move
ment has seen more than remarkable
growth. One years record has be-
come insignificant when that of the
next year doubled it; and by that, !
mean that many more boys have gone
into fhe work and have vastly In
creased results not only by their own
efforts, but through inspiration to ia
Tiers, brothers and neighbors until
added to corn production in the South
And yet this is but forecast OF
what is to come. There are now be-
ing organized as an outgrowth + the
corn club work, Three and Four-Crop
Clubs. The boys will plant oats and
cowpeas on their former corn acre,
thus diversifying their crops and re
newing the soil, while new acre will
be taken for corn cultivation. In some
sections cotton has been added to the
list, on a third acre, and the four
Crop Club boys have already gone tc
work.
Another outgrowth of the corn club
Is the Pig Club. Southern boys have
learned the truth of the story of the
unsuccessful farmer who sent to a
more prosperous neighbor to buy q
shoat The neighbor sold him the
shoat, but with it presented him a
sack of corn You have got the
shoat under your arm, he told the
farmer, but / want you TO remember
that the hog is in the sack

HAD A LIVELY NIGHT.
A Change Of Cars That Only Added to
the Evenings Enjoyment.


a New Yorker who recently returned
from abroad had a queer experience
while travelling in Switzerland. He
got separated from his party II even
ing at a railway station, and IS the
train was about to start a porter grab
bed him, pushed him into a dark com-
partInent in one of the cars and locked
the door. The traveller stumbled into
the arms of u bristly bearded French
man and his wife, who received him
with a Wild torrent of jahbering that
sounded like threats, and as the train
drew out he retreated into a corner and
sank into a seat. He says:
Il was locked In that compartment
for two hours. for the train made no
stop for sixty miles, and the time
passed mostly with the heavily beard
ed Frenchman glartng at me in the al

to do.
when the train at last stopped my
friends found me with the announce
ment that they had found q berth In a
wagon lit compartment, and l thank
fully quit the presence Of the angry
couple and was shown into q two berth
compartment, where l found I was to
occupy the upper berth. The lower was
occupied by an elderly man. It was a
chilly night, and ! spread my heavy
overcoat over me. To partly explain
what followed I may mention that one
pocket contained a heavy silver flask.
II do not know how long I had been
asleep, but l was awakened by the
most horrible noises imaginable coming
from the berth under me. A mufIled
voice was shrieking and cursing and
yelling TN French for help, and l could
hear blows. At the same instant came
knocks on the door of the compartment
and demands in several languages thai
it be opened.
And what do you think had happen
ed? That bottle had gradually dragged
the fur coat down until it had fallen il
