State to Provide Course in Farming.

State to Provide Course in Farming.
"One of the most important meas
ures passed at the 1916 session Of the
legislature was the Toole act to pro-
vide for the teaching Of agriculture
in the public schools" said ]. E.
Swea,ingen, state superintendent OF
education.
"Such a law has been urged and
discussed for years. Mr.. Toole has
been an insistent advocate Of the
policy, in and out Of the legislature.
The proposal was discussed through
out the gubernatorial campaign Of
1914.
..'The establishment Of county or dis
trict agricultural schools in other
states has proved expensive. The
Toole plan is the outgrowth Of the e1-
pertinent conducted in Darlington
county by state, county and district
school officers, In cooperation with
Clemson college.
"In the fall Of 1914, Prof. J. M.
Napier took charge Of an agricultural
class in each Of five consolidated
country schools. The principals CO.
operated heartily by aiding him in
class room instruction and filed ex-
perimentation. The result was pro.
nounced successful by men like D. R.
Coker, Bright Williamson, L. W. Dick,
Y. E. Rector and D. L. Lewis. In the
fall Of 1915, two additional experts
were employed in Darlington county
and IL schools organized regular
classes in agriculture.
''The act is based also on the Nichol-
son rural graded school law Of 1912,
which has been so stimulating in pro-
noting rural graded school progress.
Three, four or five schools must CO.
operate in the employment of an agri-
cultural teacher. Each school must
have an enrolment of at least Is,
three teachers, a three-room building,
an eight mill tax and school farm
Of at least two acres. The tax is re-
CURED in order to insure adequate
support; the school farm is necessary
in order to provide demonstration
plot.
"The group Of cooperating districts
supplies $3.50 and the state contributes
an equal amount. A salary Of $1,000
is thus made available for the e. ploy-
ment of a trained teacher Of agricul-
ture, who may act as superintendent of
the group Of schools"
The act was approved March 27,
1916.
In commenting upon the outlook,
the state superintendent said that IA
or Is groups Of schools are readily
available. Anderson, Chesterfield, Col
letan, Darlington, Dillon, Florence,
Greenville, Horny, Laurens, Oconee,
Orangeburg, Spartanburg and Will
llamsburg, all have sections with
schools that ought to undertake this
work. In selecting the localities con-
sideration must be given to good
roads in order to prevent too much
waste of time in travelling from school
to school.
Letters have been addressed to the
county superintendent of education
in these 13 counties, urging them to
look into the local situation, confer
with their district trustees and COM
municate with the state superintend-
ent.
All the agricultural and educational
forces Of the state and the nation are
behind this movement. The appro-
priatian for 1855 was only $4,000
and will, therefore, take care Of only
seven groups Of schools.

was far advanced. He began to fear
he had wandered in a wrong direction.
Finally a strip of light ahead relieved
his anxiety and after a toilsome pene-
tration of stili denser brush he broke
through to the bank Of the river.
He faced wide, shallow, muddy
stream with brakes on the opposite
bank extending like green and yellow
wall. Duane perceived at glance the
futility of his trying to cross at this
point Everywhere the sluggish water
laved quickstand bars. In fact, the bed
OF the river was all quickstand, and
very likely there was not foot OF
water anywhere. He could not swim:
he could not crawl: he could not push
a log across. Any solid thing touching
that smooth yellow sand would be
grasped and sucked down. To prove
this he seized a long pole and, reaching
down from the high bank, thrust Ii into

place big enough to stretch out on, he
lay down. For the time being he was
as safe there as he would have been

the throbbing pain in his arm he
dropped at once into sleep.

BOY TOOK CHANCE OFFERED
Indiana Judge Had Faith in Human

.lr... placed on This OCCASION.

A Judge sitting as the juvenile court
In an Indiana town was trying a boy
on charge Of stealing stamps from
his employer. The evidence was pure
ly circumstantial. The boy had
cleared his employers desk and
short time later he tried to sell to an
other employee the same number of
stamps that had been missed from the
desk. The judge considered the evil
dence of the men who worked at the
same place and then called the police
man who arrested the boy.

Of you see this boy take the stamps?"
"No, your honor, but the boy has
made full confession to u.s."
The court looked at the boy, who
WINGED slightly at this statement.
"Well," the court concluded, that
may be. But I'm for absolute justice
In this court, and nobody saw the boy
take the stamps. The defendant is
discharged"
The next day the boy returned the
stamps to his employer.-Indianapolis

NEGRO BOYS SHOT
BY CITY DETECTIVE.
Alleged Boy Burglar Dying
From Pistol Wounds at
HiIIman Hospital

Johnnie Jones, negro, aged 10 years,
who resides at Thirteenth street and Sixth
avenue, north, was fatally wounded at s
o'clock last night, when he was shot i'll
the abdomen and leg with revolver, and
Charlie Green, negro aged 13, who resides
on Nineteenth street, between Tenth and
Eleventh avenues, north, was painfully
wounded when he was also shot in the
hand at the National Hide and Wool
company, A23 Morris avenue by City De-
tective Street.
Jones was removed to the Hillman hos
pital in the police emergency automobile,
where he is in a dying condition. Green
was removed to the Hillman hospital
where he received medical attention, and
later removed to the Northside city jail,
where he is being held on a charge of
burglary. The hospital authorities have
no hopes for the recovery of the Jones
negro.
According to a report of the shooting
made at police headquarters by Detective
Street, he had gained information several
days ago that four small negro boys were
going to rob the National Hide and Wool
companys warehouse and he has been
staying in the warehouse for several
nights, but the boys did not come 10
the warehouse until tonight.
The report says that four negro boys
were on the roof of the building and were
gaining entrance to the warehouse
through a skylight, and Detective Street
fused to do so, and Mr.. Street opened
fire on the small negroes. Two of the
boys were smaller than the ones shot by
Detective Street, but made their escape,
and at an early hour this morning they
had not been captured.

NEW CAPITAL is
BROUGHT TO STATE

Capital is not attracted to a city as
much by liberal inducements and agrees
siveness as by other advantages. This is
the opinion of James C. Colgate, a prom
inent financier of New York, who is a
stakeholder in the Alabama Fuel and
Iron company. Mr.. Colgate has another
interest in Alabama, inasmuch as there
is a little town in the state bearing his
name.
1.-THE industries that may be acquired
by unusual inducements are not the kind
that you want in Birmingham" Mr.. Col
gate said. 1.-THE industry that is desired
is one that can stand on it's own bottom
and will locate where it can find the
best natural and economic advantages.
In the east there is no prejudice against
southern investments. If there was for
merly prejudice against placing capital
south of the Mason and Dixon line. it
has dissipated. 1t is now merely bust
ness proposition, and, if the investment
will bring ample returns, there will be
no hesitancy on the part of the eastern
financiers in lending their add
