THE WOODEN DEATH COACH
The horrible railway disaster at Am
herst, O., on the New York Central
line, in which q persons were killed,
is being Investigated by federal, state
and corporation officials.
Between them, the three sets of
probers ought to cover tn ground.
And they ought to find an immediate
answer to the first question which
every man asks-what cars in the
wreck, if any, were built of wood or.
largely of wood?
Photos of the wreck, so far pub
lished, show heaps of kindling wood
at the spot where the most bodies of
the dead and dying were taken out,
and it occurs to critical persons that
all-steel cars would show up in pic
lures as twisted and bent masses
rather than as sticks and spInters.
The one thing a man thinks about
when he goes to take a train is
whether the car he is about to enter
is of steel or wood. That is why the
public is now SO curious about the
death cars in the Amherst wreck,
and why the public ought not to be
diverted from getting an immediate
and satisfactory answer to this ire
mendously important question.
Whatever starts it, there cannot
be too much agitation about this vital
matter. For so far as the travelling |
public is concerned, it will remain the |
one biggest question about railway
management until the last wooden

SQUELCHED ONE LARA So
called responsible citizen" having
wired a U. S. senator that several
thousand Carranza soldiers were be-
ing congregated at Aqua Prieta, OPP
pOsite Douglas, and were erecting
barb wire entanglements and digging
trenches just a rife shot from the
American town, Gen. Gales invited
the sheriff of Cochise county to visit
all the camps across the line and see
for himself.
The sheriff and a committee of
Douglas citizens having done so, they
report that the sensational story was
entirely without foundation. That
there are no wire entanglements and
no trenches and that the Mexican
garTisOns along the line are only
normally strong. Gen. Gales took
the best and most sensible way of re-
assuring the Douglas people. In re-
turn, the Douglas folks ought to
brand that responsible citizen" of
theirs as an Ananias of the first wa
ter and convey a gentle hint that any
more activities of this nature would
put him in the undesirable citizen"
class.

Data on Farm Management.

Orangeburg. - Government experts
are in Orangeburg county securing
farm management data. c. E. Hope,
an expert in farm management, has
been in the county at this work for
the past three weeks. A. G. Smith,
an agriculturist, who is in charge OF
the work in this county, has been at
work here this week and will stay
here until the work is completed.
About four more men will be brought
to the county right away to assist in
this work.
A bulletin will be issued covering
work on 250 Orangebur@ county
farms. This bulletin will show the
cost OF farming on efficiency basis.
This bulletin will be Of great value,
as what holds good with these 25O
farms will likely hold good with all
farms in the entire county, the only
one in South Carolina that this work
is going on in.

'I feel like I wuz goin' to new

many Of them parents and grand
parents-who never had the opportu-
nifty in youth to go to school. In a
remarkably short time this same man
won prize in his class.
This was one Of the incidents which
came to light on the occasion OF the
roupd-table talk instituted by W. K.
Tate, former supervisor Of elementary
rural schools in this state, at meet
ing Of the elementary teachers IN Co
lumbia recently.
In one county there was something
like a Of these schools, with 1000
pupils enrolled-2,0oo grown-up men

nights in each week,
The testimony Of the teachers OF
these adult night schools is that many
more men than women attend. This
at first was surprising; but when the
cause was investigated, it was learned
that In nearly all Of these families
there are children, most of them
pupils Of the day school. 1t was not
practical for both mother and father
to leave home at right-one had to
stay with the children, and since 1t
was keenly realized that education in
Ysriably meant better pay, the wife
stayed at home and let the husband

1t turn-about, the husband going hall
the term and then staying at home
with the little ones. so that the wife
might attend during the remainder OF
the term.
