MEMORIAL. HOME
FOR ORPHANAGE
Spartanburg Woodmen Start Sub.
scriptions-Canvass to be
Made.

Spartanburg, May 15.-At an op-
en- meeting of Magnolia camp No.
%, Wooden of the World, last night
it was decided to erect a Woodmen
Memorial home at the industrial
home, better known as the Creech
orphanage.. AS a memorial to wood
craft, the building is not to cost
less than $4,000. There are so
Woodmen camps in Spartanburg
county with a membership Of 5000
and every man will be asked to give
at least 81 or more if he will. At the
meeting last night more than $400
was subscribed in . sums ranging
from 81 to s100.
The orphanage is an institution
started several years ago by the
Rev. Sam T. Creech. The work ap-
peals to many who are helping in
the cause. The girls clubs of the Y.
w. C. A. and many Sunday school
classes and organizations have. TAX
en- on themselves the support of an
orphan at the institution. Some
weeks ago the Moore lodge made a
proposition that the fraternal order
erect cottage at the orphanage to
be known as the fraternal home.
This proposition is before the lodges
now. The Woodmen of the World
will participate in that building and
will build the other in addition. 1t
is thought by many members of the
order that as much as, $4,000 will
be raised for this cause. Whatever
amount is raised will be used in the
building. Rallies will be held in all
Of the camps of the county.
A subscription is being raised for
the Carlisle home, which will be
built by subscriptions of SIS. Many
business and professional men and
farmers and laborers have subscrib-
ed to that building.

READ BIBLE TO GET PENNIES
Woman In State. Of Washington Has
Found That Scripture Study
Nav BE Purchased.

There is complaint that people no
longer read their Bibles. Mrs. Caches
of La Conner has found way to pop
ularize Bible reading. A few weeks
ago she offered to pay penny a
verse to every child or adult who COM
paittea - ssenssry verses from certain
chapters in the Bible. And now she
is receiving the heaviest mall i'll La
Conner-reportS from the children
and brethren who have earned their
pennies and want thep at once, Glen
NJ. Foley writes in the Seattle Post-
lntelligencer. 1t would require one
persons time to answer all the letters
and mail pennies. Requests have
come from all parts y Of the United
States and there have even been ap-
plications from foreign countries.
Hence, general Bible reading. we
note, Is only Il matter Of going out
and buying it. Mr.. Rockefeller and
others of his fatness might make Bible
reading the avocation Of the whole
country by detaching few million
dollars and turning them into pennies.
But will that variety Of Bible reading
do any good? Will it stimulate the
readers who are after pennies to fol-
low the Christian life? Or is 1t sim
ply estimated that nobody can read
much I'm the Bible without some OF
It sticking to- him?

Coal on Farms.

The United States uses about 10O,'
100000 cords of wood annually for
fuel, Of which 80 per cent Is consumed
In. the rural districts.
In spite of the fact that most o!
our farm woodlands occur In the sew
enteeh states making up New England
and the lake states, the farmers and
rural population Of this section annu'
ally use In excess Of 100000 tons OF
coal.
II by substituting wood one-quarter
less coal could be burned on farms
and one-tenth less In Villages, the total
saving would amount to nearly 3,0OO,'
600 tons, or between $1,000 and 10000
carloads.

BELIEVE LAND IS ACCURSED
French Workn1en Refuse to Complete
Building of Structure Which They
Assert Is Haunted.

Corner sites are usually at q pre-
MUM in any great city, but Paris has
one that has remained unoccupied for
nearly 80 years simply because French
carpenters, bricklayers and masnns re-
fuse to complete a structure which
was begun there and which they de-
clare Is haunted. The corner is the
rue de 10 ViHette.
In 1892 the owner of the plot de-
cided to build a three-story brick
apartment house, but hardly had work
started on the walls when workmen
found the body Of a woman who had
been cut into pieces and buried in a
basket. The laborers threw down
their tools and refused to work. A
new crew was hired, but the first
day they were at work scaffold fell,
killing one of the workmen and in
juring another. This convinced the
superstitiouS ones in the force that
the place was haunted and they In
duced the contractor to give up the
job.
For % years the construction work
was halted and then another COM
tractor tried the task, but the fol-
lowing day the war hegan. and the
contract was recalled. Since then the
owners of the property have refused
to go near the site, although they are
willing to sell 1t il a buyer can be
found who will assume all the risks.

INCREASE IN ALFALFA CROPS

Washington Farmers By AppiI-
cation Of Sulphur.

Farmers in Oregon and Washington
have greatly increased their alfalfa
crops By the application Of sulphur.
This practice Is based upon the re-
suits of investigations b. the expert.
ment stations In these states as well
as upon demonstrations of the use OF
sulphur on alfalfa conducted By the
county agricultural agents In co-onera-
lion with specialists from the agricui-
tural college. In Deschute county last
year 285 tons of sulphur were used.
attn total cost Of a little more than
$4,000. and the Increased yield, reek-
oned at $50 a ton, was $4,000. In
Jackson county 277 tons, costing
about $4,000, are estimated 20 have
increased the yield $4,000. In Kla-
math county 0s tons. costing $500.

Apparently II doesn't pay the farm

made in individual tanneries. but the
results are too uncertain to give re-
