II A HOUSE

NOSL SLatSS Cdll lHelI dQlIlllilSIFd-
tive building the Capitol, but South
Carolina calls hers The State House.
1t is well named, it is the building
that corcers the whole state, and all
the people in it. This is shown by
the constnat numbers of visitors that
are always going. over the building.
Whenever the people come from
other parts of the stae they always
go over the State House, they feel
that they are interested in it, and
they want to see it. There was an
excursion down from the upper part
of the state a few days ago, and
hundreds visited the building. One
of the men in the Governors Office
said he spent most all day showing
visitors over the building but that he
was glad to do it, they were all in
terested.
In the Secretary Of States Office
are many objects of interest, and a
great many too in the Office Of the
Secretary of the Historical Commits
sion. The Supreme Court Room is
of interest, and so is the Library up
stairs. The view from the Library
windows is fine. The Senate Cham
Der and the House of Representatives
are well worth visiting, but they are
closed most of the time except when
the Legislature is in session. A
place to be looked at is the outside
west wall, just above the windows of
the Governors Office. Here are yet
to be seen marks where Sherman's
shells hit when he fired on Columbia
before he crossed the river and oc-
cupied the city in his famous march
to the sea. Inside the downstairs
hall of the State House are to be
seen some of the largest pieces of
single stone in the world for many of
the giant pillars r all one piece of
granite. Indeed it is said that this
State House contains more monoliths
of their size of any building. A
monolith is a solid unbroken pillar or
monument of stone.
The State House grounds this year
are especially beautiful. The great
square-it contains four city blocks,
is we'll erased, with every here and
there beds of bright colored flowers.
There are dozens of ornamental trees
on the grounds, and beside that many
more of the commoner varieties Of
trees. At different points on the
grounds are various monuments, at
one point is an historic grave, there
is one large cannon that came as a
trophy from the war with Spain, and
many smaller guns from the bygone
days. The grounds r pleasing,
and sevral hours could well be spent
on the State House and grounds to-
gether.
The Governors Office is in a way
the centre of the State, and the
events of that office is an index to
the times. Last fall the great cry
was diversity your crops" Up to
now grain had been a negligible fac
tor in this state, and wheat almost
unthought of. Now, however, comes
a letter to the Governor asking to
inform the writer what is a lawful
toll for grinding wheat. The an
swer is found in sections 1887 and
1888 of Vol. 1 of the Code of 1912,
which reads: 1887, No person shall
take more toll for grinding wheat,
rye, or any other grain into good
meal or flour than one eighth part of
any quantity under ten bushels, and

the road, are willing to make sacri-
fees for it and will take any chances
of losing customers thereby. Mr..
Hewett especially suggested the ad-
vantage it would be to have access to
electric power as would be the case,
not only in East Madison but for the
entire length of the line. He thought
the new industries which could locate
in the territory would offset may fold
any disadvantages that could be men,
toned. Mr. Burrill spoke especially
of the isolated feeling which all dwell
ers of this hamlet, six miles from a
railroad have and of what a change
it would make to have the privilege
of travelling to the larger centers by
trolley. He had especially felt the
need of it when his daughter was at
tending school in Skowhegan. Mr..
Burrill did not doubt that his bust
ness and all kinds of real estate would
be materially enhanced in value by
the building of the road.
The Somerset Worsted Co., operat-
ing textile mill at East Madison
would quite likely prove the largest
customer for the road. Under the
present conditions, without making
any allowances for over time, the mill
hauls to and from Skowhegan about
IN tons week, exclusive of fuel
Counting the $50 tons of coal which
the mill uses a year this would make
an aggregate of all Kinds of freight
of about 500 tons. Morris Gledhill
Treas. of the corporation, is confident
this could be largely increased if they
could have electric trolley transport
tation.
Fred B. Brown, whose farm is To-
Gated just above West Cornville, a
little less than eight miles from
Skowhegan, said the road would be of
wonderful benefit to him and his fam
lily from all points of view. Mr.
Brown speaks of the craving which
anyone living on an isolated farm
feels for conveniences of this kind
and says no one not similarly situat-
ed can possibly appreciate it. He
believes the road is an economic
necessity and is bound to come. De
pending somewhat on it's being built
he has recently put up a large barn

enormous dam is under construction.
These oxen are part of the food
required for a crew of $50 men and it
takes just about one of them a day.
The dam, it may be mentioned, is the
largest work of the kind ever under
taken in New England. Ii will in

was when the firm was engaged in the
making of skates. Some ten years

After Mr.. Thompson's death, his son
took Thomas c. Fox into partnership.
They employed on an average seven

accidentally it may be of interest
to know that our representative after
leaving Mr.. Whittier's home for Show

hauling merchandise from that sec

Among them were three loads of lum-

Three two-horse teams were met 60
