the seed.
Cotton seed is wonderful in its
history. Less than quarter of a
century ago the farmers were
worried to know how to get
rid of the seed. After taking out
what they would require for
planting, the farmers would
make compost of the remainder,
and before that time ever tried
to find strong spring branch
that would carry away the seed,
so that they would not be in the
way on the farm.
Today the seed of cotton finds
it's way into the flame that lights
mans way in many places, into
he food he eats, into the clothes
the food he eats, into the clothes
cleanses himself, the medicines
with which he cures his all
ments, the paper on which he
writes, the film with which he
takes his photographs, the
nourishment he givies to the soil
to raise is crops, and even into
the powder and shot with which
he kills mankind.
A hundred lines of industry
find employment for the seed
most of which was burned or
cast into ravines or rivers in
former days, A hundred other
lines of industry probably will
find use for il in the next decade
or two.
Today its value commercially
is far more than $150,O00,00O
a year
It's oil alone last year was
valued at more than $4,000, 600
1t has done much to bring
prosperity to the South and, in
cidentally, it has proven of
great worth to the North and

Why ReformatOry Bill
Was Not Pushed.

To South Carolina Clubwomen:
That the bill for a reformatory
for white girls in South Carolina
has not been brought UP during
this session of the legislature
needs explanation to you who
have been so interested in it's s.
tablishment. Your legislative
chairman, with one of her COM
mittee, has been on the ground
in consultation with leading
members of the house and senate
and Albert S. Johnstone of the
State board of charities and cor
Irections. The first development
in the situation was that on ac-
count of the economic measures
prevailing at this session, there
was no hope for an adequate ap-
preparation to be secured this
year for girls reformatory.
here is no doubt that we have
created a strong sentiment for
this school and VIII lie the bill, if
rought up at this session,
might have passed, yet the ap
preparation would have been so
small that the usefulness and ev.
speedy establishment of tn
school Wouiu nave Deen severely
crippled. And, again, Mr.. John
stone OF the board OF chairi-
ties and corrections appeared be-
fore your committee and the
executive board OF the federation
at It's recent session and said to
hem that at first he had deemed
the most vital need of the State
was for this girls reformatory,
but more recent survey and
further developments had de-
monstrated the greater need of
an institution to care for the
feebleminded
Forty eight per cent of the
boys at the South Carolina In
ldustrial school at Florence were
found, upon careful testing, to
tbe mentally defective, and the
further handicaps the school in
doing the real reformatory work
expected of it shows that the
-IState should first solve it's
lfeebleminded problem before adj
Iding another reformatory to its

PROBE OF LIVING
COST UNDER WAY
FEDERAL OFFICIALS BEGIN TO
COPE IN EARNEST WITH IN
CREASED COST PROBLEMS.
Cause of Rapid Rise in Price of Food.
stuffs and Coal Being Sought and
Prosecutions for Conspiracy
Proposed.

Washington.-Th federal investiga
ton of the high cost of living began
Wednesday to take definite form, with
indications that it would extend to
every section of the United States.
Not only is a sweeping inquiry into
the cause of the soaring cost of food
stuffs contemplated, but the recent
pinch in the coal supply and its re-
sultant price advances also will be
made, in all probability, the subject
of broad investigation.
Officials began to cope in earnest
with the problems presented by the
situation. The president took under
consideration preliminary reports,
which, with others yet to come, will
form the, basis for recommendations
he may make to congress.
A dozen speeches on the subject
were made. in the house and several
resolutions, proposing inquiries, were
introduced. These were referred to
committees without discussion, most
of them going to the interstate and
foreign commerce committee, of which
Representative Adamson, who is op-
posed to embaTgoes, is the chairman.

TO PAY MINERS TAKEN
BY BANDITS.
Driver Shot Through Back of the
Head, Mail Sacks Rifled and Body
and Team Abandoned by
Murderers.

Twin Falls, Idaho.-Word received
here Wednesday from the Jarbidge
mining camp, in EIko county, Nevada,
ninety miles south, stated that the
United States mail stage was held up
Wednesday night within half mile
of Jarbidge. The driver, F. Searcy,
was shot through the back of the
head and instantly killed. The first
class mail sacks were rifed and a
sum variously reported between $1,000
and $1,000 was taken.
From the evidence gathered two
men, probably posing as passengers,
shot from inside the stage. Apparent
ly, from the finding of a pool of blood
and Searcy's hat, he fell from the
wagon, was picked up and supported
on the seat by the two men, who
turned off on to an old road. They
drove some distance to a clump of
willows, where they rified the sacks
and abandoned the body and team.
A posse of Jarbidge men started at
once searching for the hold-up or hold
ups.
Searcy was a young, unmarried
man, well known here. His parents
live near Kansas City.
Wednesday was pay day at the
Long Hike mine. The stage was due
between 5 and 8 Wednesday evening
in Jarbidge, and when it did not arrive
men were sent out, and found the
body and evidences of the robbery.
