CHERRY ORCHARD
YIELDS BIG RETURN
GROSS RECEIPTS FROM 100 OLD
TREES WILL AGGREGATE
NEARLY $1,000. 4,,

On the something like hundred
old cherry trees of Rainey Brothers
orchard there have been gathered this
spring nearly thousand dollars
worth of cherries. Probably no other
crop would on the same amount OF
land produce half this gross yield.
Cherry trees are set about ninety to
the acre, so that this income came
from very little more than an acre.
of course the expense of saving the
crop must be deducted and this is a
considerable item, but it is doubtful il
the net income could be increased by
planting the same land to any crop
that is known to this climate,
The Rainey Brothers have thirty
acres of young trees, some, of them
just beginning to bear. When these
trees really begin to fruit they will
have one of the largest orchards in
the state. Except for few very late
cherries the crop has practically all
been marketed The price received
was better this year than in the past
which of course contributed to the
increased receipts.

Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, former cover
nor of Iowa, for five years secretary

President Roosevelt, banker and law
yer and lecturer, arrived in Columbia
this morning to appear on the Chau
tauqua platform here tonight. Gov

gave daughter to his country. A bril-
liant and capable young woman she
volunteered for the Red Cross service
and died on board ship while en- route
to the front In speaking of the sac,
rifice this morning Gov. Shaw exhib.
tied that solemn pride which only
those who gave sons to their country's
cause can manifest.
Asked about his views on a league
OF nations, Gov. Shaw promptly re-
piled that he was for a league of ma
tions, but he has number of serious
objections to the constitution of the
Paris league. Like many others the
Iowa statesman sees a possible me-
mace of the race problem as result
of the league. He is not enamored
OF the attempt to divide most of the
world and guarantee the boundary
lines for all time, nor is he altogether
in accord with that provision which
would limit or impair the nations
right to have such armed force as it
might desire.
The ex-governor is a strict nation
alist. Il am not an internationalist
in any sense said Mr.. Shaw II will
never be able to sing, My Countries tbs
of These My flag is the lovliest en-
blem my eyes ever beheld and my
country is the best at Gods footstool."
But the ex-governor is probably at
his best when talking of Iowa. He is
a booster from Boostersville. He can
say as many good things about his
state as The Herald can say about

Belief Expressed That the Routing Of
Wires Through MooresviiIe and Gull

People living at Culleoka and

izing to make a determined fight to
get the Southern Cities Power Compa-
ny to run it's line from Lewisburg to
Columbia by that route instead of fol-
lowing the Nashville, Chattanooga &
st. Louis Railway as announced.
1t is insisted by the people who are
going to try to persuade General Man
ager Stern to change the route of the
line that practically every home at
Mooresvile and Culleoka, both good
sized villages, will take lights. while
the route along the railroad is sparse
ly settled and there would in conse-
'quence be few subscribers for either
the light or power of the company.
The territory from Lewisburg, via
Mooresville is one of the richest and
most prosperous in the state. The
people are all well to do and enter
prising and line supplying current
would get big patronage. Again the
people of Culleoka and Mooresville
are especially devoted to their schools
and are DESTROYS of having them light
ed by electricity. There are also on
the line many churches that would use
the lights. Several farmers have al
ready expressed desire to have power
for operating small machinery about
their places.
The Culleoka school board has al
ready taken the matter up with Cen
eral Manager Stern and will endeavor
to show him that although this line
would probably be three or four miles
longer than that by way of the rail
road it would be much more profita-1
