WANT LAND FOR NEW
 INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS SAY APPRoPRi- ALTON IS INSUFFICIENT AND
 APPEAL IS ISSUED.
ABOUT 200 ACRES WANTED
Plan Outlined By Act Authorizing the School Is To Establish Boys School in Good Farm Lands-To
 Use Reform School For Girls.
Little Rock

Little ROCK
 Unless some town, commercial or ganizatidn, county or public spirited citizen in the state will donate a site for the proposed boys industrial school, plans for both the boys school and the girls industrial school will fail, members of the. board of the two schools said The recent act of the Legislature authorizing the establish ment of the school appropriated only s40200 for the maintenance of both, and the construction of the boys school The items are for mainte- nance of the girls school for two years, s9,000; maintenance of the boys school for two years, $26,200; and for the purchase of site and the construction of buildings for the pro- posed boys school, $5,000.
 At a joint meeting of the boards for the two schools in the governors of- flee, it was decided that the appropria- tion for the purchase of the site and the construction of buildings for the boys school is inadequate, and that donations of land should be asked for. The plan outlined by the act authoriz- ing the schools is to establish a boys school in good farm lands, and to use the site of the present reform school for the girls school.
 A site of about 200 acres of good, tillable land is needed if the schools are to be establi-hed, and unless the site can be obtained for the boys school the girls school will also have to be abandoned, as no site has been authorized except that now occupied by the reform school. The Reform School grounds contain only about s5 acres of tillable land, which is insult fcient for the boys.

PROTECT THE STOCK
- FROM THE COLD

Clemson College, Jan. 13.-The
farm stock are often very poorly
housed during the winter months.
Most farmers seem to forget that
stock have feelings just as they
have and appreciate warm dry quar-
ters during cold weather, just as
much as the farmer appreciates a
warm house. When the cold winds
of winter are whistling around the
house, and roaring fire is blazing
in the chimney, few thoughts are
given of these horses and mules on
which the farm depends for 6! crop:
Pneumonia and colds result, and
too often through this carelessness,
deaths result, and the farmer has
lost a valuable animal. To have
good stock and keep them in good
condition, they must receive the
proper care, both as to housing and
feed. The farmer should see that
the stables are warm and that there
is plenty of bedding in the stalls;
If some of the farmers had to spend
the night out in the barn with the
stock he would no doubt soon learn
how necessary it is to have as com
Portable a barn as possible. MIR.
Farmer, the stock will appreciate
this, why not see to it. that they are
made comfortable.

EDGEFIELD.G GREENWOOD ROAD

Federal Engineer Crosson Goes Over
Greenwood End and 10 Pleased.

Last Friday, Engineer Crosson, Of
the Federal Department of Good
Roads was carried over the part Of
the Greenwood to Edgefield road
which is located in Greenwood coun-
ty; at least, as far as Kirksey. Ow-
ing to the cut up condition Of the
road it was not deemed advisable to
continue the trip of inspection at
that time. Mr.. Crosson had to leave
that night for, Montgomery, Ala, 20
fill an engagement, but he stated be-
fore he left that he had written in
structions from Washington that Mr.
Hooper, Of the Department would be
available for the actual survey as
soon as the weather would permit Of
this work to be done. Mayor Hart
zog and Mr.. S. O. Harvey, of the
Greenwood, committee, carried Mr..
Crosson to Kirlsey and met there Mr.
Tom Arlington the third member
of the committee. After consulta-
ton, it was decided that one engi-
neering party could do the work and
that the whole work be left to MIR.
Hooper, who will come to begin work
as soon as the roads and the weather
permits. Mr.. Crosson was highly
pleased with the prospect OF the
road so far as this county is con-
cerned. He thought there would be
very little change in location of this
road.-Greenwood Index.
