Park a Welcome Sight.

'Ianda Park was a welcome sight
to the District soldiers as they marched
through it. Last night the men were
confined to camp, for those in author
ity realized they needed good rest
more than amusement. but this morn
ing as soon as breakfast was served
they filed down the steep hill to the
beauty spot.
The banks of stream about the size
Of Rock creek were soon lined with men
eager to bathe their tired and aching
feet. Some of them spent the greater
part Of the day there.
The greatest of all the sights were those
which the soldiers beheld from the
wound its way through the park This
river comes from springs within a mile
Of each other. Some idea of the vast
arnount of water that comes from them
can be obtained when it is stated that the
water power is used to operate three
electric light plants, a huge -four mill, a
mill where the oil is extracted from cot
ton seed, a water pumping plant and
numerous minor plants. 1t is as free from
discoloration as the purest crystal.
The militiamen from the District stood
on bridges looking down into the river
where the water is twenty feet deep. Ii
looked to be not more than one foot
deep. Vegetation and rock on the bottom
could be seen.
The banks of the river and the streams
leading into it are lined with palms and
various kinds OF reeds Trees of great
age are heavily burdened with Spanish
moss.
About noon the dressing rooms in the
bathhouse that adjoins a large swimming
pool was opened The remainder of the
day the attendants there were kept busy
supplying the soldiers from the National
Capital

Garry on Work i'm Sixteen Counties
Clemson College. Dec. 30.-The
corn breeding specialist of the Ex-
tension Division of Clemson COL
lege has now completed arrange
ments to begin active corn breeding
work in sixteen counties of the State
next spring. The counties selected
for the work are Oconee, Green
vile, Greenwood. Newberry, Chester,
Lexington. Richland. Barnwell, Dor
chester, Jasper, Charleston Berkeley.
Sumter, Florence, Dillon, and Horny.
The varieties to be used in the
breedings plots are not all the same.
Where possible high-yielding local
variety will be used. The follow
ing table shows the varieties and
the counties in which they will be
bred:
Carrie corn: Richland Sumter,
Berkeley, Jasper, and Charleston.
Lee county corn: Oconee (Clem-
son station).
Belmont (Gid Morris) corn: Barn
well and Chester.
Pee Dee No. corp: Florence
(Pee Dee station), Dorchester, (Coast
station), and Horny.
Marlboro corn: Newberry.
Baldwin corn: Greenville.
Lowman Yellow corr: Lexington.
Bethea corn: Dillon.
Barrister corn: Greenwood.
Emery corn: Oconee.
In addition to breeding work with
the above named varieties, a test
of ten varieties will be conducted
on the same farms. Ten of the So
called best varieties in the State will
be used in these tests. which will be
continued for about four years, using
the same varieties each year. This
will be Of great benefit to the farm
ers Of the State, as the results will
show which varieties yield best in
each section.

Bibles.

The first Bible printed in America
was in an Indian language, translated
by John Elliott, pioneer missionary
to the Indians, and published at Cam
bridge, Mass, the New Testament in
1861, the entire Bible in 1868. In 1868
one William Bradford proposed to
print an English Bible by subscription,
the price of the book to subscribers
being 90 shillngS or a pound sterling.
In 1777, during the Revolutionary war,
there were 50 few Bibles in the little
group of states that congress voted
to print 10000 copies. Even this was
found impracticable. Type and paper
We're wanting, and by way Of compro-'
mise 10000 Bibles were then ordered
to be imported from Europe by author
ity Of congress, the reason being given
that 'its use. was so universal and its
so great" But even. this
could not be done owing to the war
embargo. The work was then under
taken IN 1852 by Robert htken of Phil
adelphia as a private enterprise, The
books were few and very dear.--Chris-
