IOCONEE PROGRESSIVE SECTION,
HER CHIEF LINES OF PROGRESSION ARE IN EDU-
CATION, AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURING. .

(From the Twenty-Fifth Anniver-
sary Number of the Columbia State.)
The three lines of greatest i'm
provemeslts within the last rs years
in Oconee county have been manu-
featuring, agriculture and education.
Within this period four cotton
mills, two hosiery mills, three oil
mills and numerous other manurac-
turing plants have been built and
are now In active operation. All
these plants are giving employment
to many people, and at the same
time affordlng new markets for
many farm and garden products.
Manufacture ring centres are made up
Of energetic, quiet, thrifty people.
1t Is a safe estimate to say that
the agricultural products of Oconee
have increased flve-fold within the
last quarter of a century. Many pros
porous communities Of to-day were
only primitive forests I'm the early
sos. The Yield per acre in corn,
cotton, cabbage, potatoes and grain
has had a marvellous increase.
1t is said that one Of the first men
In South Carolina to grow two bales
Of cotton on one acre was an Oconee
man at Oakway. This feat was ac-
complished years ago, and has later
been repeated by many others.
The Oconee farmer has kept pace
with all the improvements that are
being made for better farm and
farm life. He now keeps good stock,
is we'll equipped with the best farm
implements, and Is a man who thinks

Why He Couldn't Cry.

In a court in certain city Of
Pennsylvania, according to the Balti-
more American, both the judge and
the crier had grown old in the SER
vice, and neither had missed sin
gle day for many years. One day,
the judge ascended the bench and
waited for the "Oyez, Oyez," with
which the court is opened by the
crier, but on this particular ocoa-
sion no "Oyez" was forthcoming
The old juMst, growing impatient,
turned to the COURT clerk and said:
where is Thomas Grimes, the
crier, to-day, to open the court ac-
cording to law?"
To which the clerk replied:
MAY it please your honor,
Thomas Grimes says he can't cry to-
day; his wife died last night"

BE A BUSINESS FARMER.
One Step Toward 1t is to Use Neat
Printed Stationery.

Clemson College, Feb. 25.-It is
becoming Increasingly necessary for
the farmer to be a business man,
and 1T is advisable for him to imi.
tate the methods Of city business
men, who have been at the art q
longer time than he and have devel-
oped 1t more. 1t is chiefly in what
might be called little things that
the difference between the business
like and the unbusinesslike farmer
Is revealed and In none more than
in the business letters Of each.
There is really little reason why
lawyer or merchant or q manufac-
turer should show more courtesy
to the farmer than the farmer shows
to them, In the matter of CORES
pondence. Yet that is the way 1t
seems to work when one compares
the letters of the two sides.
The cost Of neatly printed sta
tionery Will not hit the expense side
OF farmers ledger hard enough to
count, while the use OF it Is more
than likely to do fine things for the
profit side. A printed letter head
(especi; w when the farm has been
given an. attractive name, as every
farm should be) will create favor
able impression, will advertise the
farm and its products, will identify
the writer no matter how he scrawls
his signature, and will make him
and all his family feel u little ertra
pride in the farmstead.
In South Carolina and the South
generally, farmers who use printed
letter heads arc as yet comparatively
few and the number is still small
enough to make good looking
farm letter head conspicuous. For
this reason, those who begin this
practice alt once will get the benefit
Of the extra publicity that goes with
novelty.

and has the energy to carry out his
ideas.
For MANY years the first thought
OF the people has been to have bet
ter schools and school buildings
This idea has now reached the point
where 1T is a recognized fact that
Oconee schools and school buildings
rank with the best in the State. Spe-
cial levles have been made for the
support Of the schools in almost
every district Of the county. 1t is a
fact that Is gratifying TO all the pao-
pie that all the buildings in Oconee
are equipped with patent desks. The
school that runs only Ave months
now is the exception. Most of them
run eight or nine months.
The subject of good roads has
been given ho little thought IN this
section of late. AS result there are
many miles of splendid highways in
Oconee county. The matters Of
grade and drainage have been the
two main points in the recent con-
struction. Oconee's good highways
have been source Of surprise and
favorable comment Of many travel
ers.
The people OF Oconee are working
together. They mix and mingle, ex-
change ideas, give and seek advice
on equal and friendly terms. They
are prosperous. ambitious, but not
contentious. The cry of better times
has just begun. Oconee has every
thing to make a happy and prosper
Gus people. She knows her resources
and Is beginning to use her opportu-
mites.

SPEED WORK OF SHIPS.
Commandments to Use Ships Person
mel, if Necessary.

Washington, April 21.-Orders to
speed up repair and overhauling work
on vessels of the Atlantic fleet have
been sent to the commandants of the
various navy yards by Secretary Dan
iels. In case of labor shortage the
commandants are instructed to ex-
pedite the work by employing the
ships personnel.
The move was explained as a pre-
paredness test" the execution OF
which would illustrate how quickly
the vessels could be restored to nor
NAL condition after their strenuous
winter operations and place them in
readiness in time for the battle prac-
tices and manoeuvres beginning May
20.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has
been in conference with officials of
the New York yard, attempting to ar
range for the employment of a suf-
f1cient force of mechanics and other
skilled men to operate that plant on
a night and day schedule.
Secretary Daniels said the officials
were experiencing great difficulties in
getting laborers as government
wages, and also by delay in delivery
of materials ordered for repair work
and construction of vessels being
built. Offers of better pay and ad-
vantages of extra work at double
time, he said, were attracting work
men to private employ and creating
the scarcity of labor in the yards.

It is funny that every time news

ment that borders on reform they
must be accused of mercenary or un-
worthy motives. 1t appears to be
the argument of some of those de-

to go merrily on that the newspapers
are the only ones not wanting the
canvass and that they/want it d1scon-
tinued so that they can control the

say that they can control politics un-

SCIENTIFIC SURVEYING.
Important Investigations Made by
Little known Government Bureau.

At an annual cost of 10th of that
of one battleship, the United States
geological survey makes it's import
ant scientific and economic investi-
cations over the ct untry having the
greatest mineral /. ,lrces. Its work
is separated into the three divisions
of geological examination, topo-
graphic mapping, and water survey
ing. The annual report of the di-
rector shows that last year the geo.
logical Investigations, which are made
in every part of the United States
including Alaska, dealt with the
mineral resources of $4,000 square
miles, and ranged from pioneer ex-
plorations of almost unknown terri
tory to detailed studies of mining
camps. For the Topographic map, the
base or source of all maps of the
country, surveys were made in 80
States and in Alaska and Hawaii.
Important work was done in the
water surveys, which include the
measurement of rivers and smaller
streams, and underground water re-
sources, and furnish data for all kinds
of hydraulic engineering, such as
power, irrigation, drainage and flood
prevention projects. In addition to
these activities, the survey collected
from 10000 miners and other cor
respondents statistical and other in
formation for IS reports on the out
put of useful minerals.
