We notice from The State that the
Highway department has accepted the
Piedmont highway through Newberry
county, and also all the way from Co.
lumbia to beyond Greenvile, and the
department says it is a fine highway
and it is, but to remain such high
way there must be constant and prop
er attention given to it, and this we
understand is now the duty of the
state highway department.
We would like to say to the state
highway department that the road
needs attention right now. We were
over the portion of this road from
Newberry to Garys on Sunday night
and there are many holes that If not
given immediate help will soon work
themselves into much larger holes.
1t is a good road and if given con-
slant attention will not get bad all
winter, but if these holes should get
the start of the repairer it will be a
hard task to overtake them.
It is a pleasure to drive over this
road and it does not cost near so
much to do so as the other roads that
have not been worked, and it will be
a waste of good money and a great
pity not to have them kept up.

For instance, they would not grant
the aid unless all the bridges are
built of concrete. That is economy,
and the pity is that there is not way
by which that could be required of
all of the roads that are being built.
AS you drive out this road you will
see that concrete bridge is being
built over Beaverdam and over SCOTS
cr~e e.. just as you leave the city linn
it's. And they are good bridges and
when they are completed all the cost
is over. In fact, the first cost is all
the cost, and even if it III doubled the
cost of any other bridge, and especi-
ally wooden bridge, it is cheap at
the price.
At Bush river at Lindsay bridge it
was the purpose to use steel bridge
at that place, but the federal aid
could not be granted and now the
plan is to build bridge little below
and to change the location of the
road and when the bridge is complet-
ed the cost of maintenance will be
at an end except the cost of maintain
ing the road. A considerable fill is
being made here and when the road
is finished we will have real road.
The contractor is now putting down
some top soil and the travelling over
the road is not near so bad as it was.
The concrete bridge at Beaverdam
will be about 120 fet long.

through windows of the Elks' club
and in few minutes the two stories
were in a mass of flames. Haltiwan-
gers broke out from the bottom floor
and ten minutes elapsed before
streams were turned on at this point.
Wall Falls
At 2:10 O'Clock a large portion of
the front wall of the Elks' home gave
way and crashed to the street. Fire
men then were concentrated on the
front and soon began to get the blaze
under control. Falling glass and bot
ties made the fire spectacular and
spectators were ordered to the oppo-
site sidewalks. A large number of
bottles exploded in Wingheld's and
over the drug store.
City Electrician HaDth arrived soon
after the blaze had gotten to its dan
gerous proportions and took care, of
the electric wires in adjoining build
ines and on the streets. All the street
lights were cut off.
Several breaks in the hose and bad
connections with the pump engines
also delayed the full fighting force,
but these were remedied and before
the flames assumd their most danger
Gus aspect the department was MAX
ing a good fight to save the buildings
and adjoining stores.

BIG BUILDING GOES
IN RUSH OF FLAMES
Fire in Columbia Sunday Morning
Wipes Out Wing6elds, Haltiwan-
gers and Elks' Home.

The State.
Fire originating in Tie Quality Au-
to Tire and Vulcanizing company
shortly before midnight completely
destroyed the three story DesPortes
building, corner Of Main and Hamp-
ton streets early this morning, en-
failing a loss estimated to be $780,
600, including Haltiwanger's, the
Wingfeld Drug company and the
Elks' home.
Shortly before 5 o'clock this morn
ing the fire was under control after
destroying the two stores and the
Elks' home, the stores adjoining these
being saved any serious damage.
The fire at first appeared to be
nothing but slight blaze between
the metal ceiling and tin roof over
tthe rear end of Wingfeld's drug
store and the Quality Auto Tire and
Nulcanizing company, but spread rap
idly to cover Haltiwanger's and then
engulfed the Elks' home located above
these stores.
Haltiwanger's, a fashionable. wom-
ems dress goods store, was complete
ly destroyed, apparently not piece
of serviceable goods being left in the
store.
Wingfeld's drug store, occupying
the corner store of the DesPortes
building, was also practically de-
stroyed. What the flames did not do
water completed. DR.. E. L. Wingfield,
owner of the drug store, said his
stock was valued at approximately
$4,000 and was total loss. 1t was
insured for three-fourths the value,
Mr.. Wingfeld said.
The Elks' home occupied the Sec
ond and third floors of the building
and all these rooms were eatend up by
the flames, which were completely out
of control of the fire department. The
Elks carried some insurance, but not
enough to cover the loss, it was SAID,
Old Building
The DesPortes building, owned by
R. S. DesPortes, was valued at ap-
proximately $4,000 with $4,000 in
surance. Mr.. DesPortes said this
morning. The building was erected
number of years ago and its replace
ment value would probably exceed the
value placed by Mr.. DesPortes.
J. w. Haltiwanger, proprietor OF
Haltiwanger's, said this morning that
he did not know how much his loss
was. He said, however, that the in
surance carried would not cover the
loss.
Low water pressure and failure to
get at the flames while they were not
! threatening caused the big damage,
probably the most disastrous fire here
since 1915 when the cotton compress
was destroyed. The blaze originated
in the vulcanizing plant and for 80
minutes burned under tin roof with
the progress not apparent. Firemer
tried to get under the roof and failed.
After fighting for more than half
hour without success, the department
connected the big pump engines and
began to pour a half dozen streams
on the fire, which was rapidly increas-
ing in size.
At 80 O'Clock the flames had burst

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

o @ % o % o o y o o o. o o o o
On Friday morning went out to
the Jalapa school and there were pres
ent. all the trustees and several of the
patrons and some of the ladies. The
work here has started off well and the
teachers are going to do fine work
this year. Pity is we have not more
children out here. The enrolment will
reach forty, but will not 60 to fifty
so as to qualify as an equalizing aid
ed school, but then the district will
not need the state money and will
be able to run eight or nine months
without it. Mr.. J. M. Buckley has
agreed to sell an acre of land above
the school house on which to make a
playground for the children and it
will make a nice place. This is the
place where the road builders just
went trough the playground and cut
off big corner Of the lot. 1t places
the public road dangerous close to
the school house. The highway COM
mission has agreed to buy this acre
from Mr. Buckley and Mr.. Buckley is
reasonable in his charge, and also
agrees to give in addition and to the
back of the lot an equal amount of
land that has been cut on his side of
the road from the original school lot.
And then the higway commission also
has agreed to erect fence along the
roadside so that the children may be
safe from the speeding automobiles.
1 hope they will not delay this very
long, because if some child should be
injured while they wait they would
always have cause FOR regret. And
besides that we do not want any such
accidents. Mr.. Boulware has promis-
ed action at their next meeting.
Friday afternoon I went down to
Union sch0ol at the request of the pa
irons to talk over with them the fl
nancial condition of their district for
the coming year. There were good
many of them present and the spirit
was fine and / feel encouraged that
we will be able to do something worth
while for the children in this district
,, during this year. The district has
only mills tax and the sentiment of
those present was that we should vote
six more mills, but it is to late this
year to help the school during this
session, because the tax if voteC
could not be put on the books. Sew
eral gentlemen who were present
agreed to raise personally about
s35O.OO for the maintenance of the
school this session, and l understand
thew reelected the same teacher they
had last year, Mrs. Bessie Pugh, anc
the probability is they will have 6
seven months school, and that will be
fine. The people of any community

can do what they make up their minds
to do by little interest and enthu-
siasm and cooperation and working
together. And that is what these
good people have determined to do
and when men like D. w. Bushardt
and Martin Strauss show their inter-
est and are willing to 60 ahead the
thing is done And the other folk of
community are going to stand to-
gether with them and cooperate. That
is. what we need in all the districts of
the county.
Pomaria and st. Phillips will both
open next Monday. / am hoping to
be present at both places and am go
ing to ask Pomaria to move up as
early as it can and st. Phillips to
move down just little so that l may
come back 10y St. Phillips and have
part in both places. Both these dis
tricts are enlarging their buildings
so as to accommodate the children.
Pomaria is adding four class rooms
and will have a high school and st.
Phillips is adding two rooms so as to
have real classroom for each teach
er. The school spirit in both districts
lis fine and I want 10 repeat that this
lis the only way to have real school.

Monday and I have promised to be
there at that time. would be glad to
have the trustees notify me when the
schols open and to advise the teachers
that they must have state certificates
and not only so but these must be of
record in the office of the county sup

ary warrants paid. This rule will be
enforced.

Special OF The Chiettain.
La lara. Colo, July 2t.-Work on
tho construction of the closed tile
drains In the San Luis Valley Drain
age District No, I, just south of this
place will he resumed in n very short
time. This district embracing some TO-
90 acres OF secped land was organ
ICED few years ago and last year the
construction of the open drainage
canal about II miles in length was
completed. Several of the covered lat
eral drains were then put in. Funds
ran short and work was temporarily
suspended. Now arrangements are be-
ing completed for carrying on the
work. The land in this drainage dis
trict was originally very productive
the same "a the surrounding land.
Then II became seeped thru the irriEa
ton Of the higher land above II. II
will again he highly productive ms soon
as II Is drained.
In the meantime owners OF land In
this district are retaining this land
by the yellow blossom biennial sweet

Hatfield have demonstrated on their
seeped land in the drainage district
the value of sweet clover in restoring
productivencss to this land. Several
years ago tho land in question wns
seeded to sweet clover several years
in succession till a stand was secured.
Each year thereafter a crop of clover
seed was harvested and this proved
profitable crop ms the demand was
good rrior to that time the land
would not grow any grain crops at all

Spring before last after the land had
been In sweet clover for five or six
years working on the assumption that

GENERAL CROP SUMMARY

Crop conditions for the week ending
July IS, 1921. are covered in reports
received by the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates. United States De
partment of Agriculture, from its field
statisticians in the different states
Corn. The condition of the corn crop
is generally good; it has improved in
many sections since the recent rains.
However rain is still badly needed in
some regions; for instance, in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin. A large crop is expected in
Nebraska If rain comes soon. Late
corn in the southern and southwestern
states is reported to be in excellent
condition.
Wheat. The harvesting of winter
wheat is making good progress in the
northern tier of states and threshing
Is commencing. Threshing is progress
ing rapidly in the central belt of states
and is nearing completion in some
parts Of this belt. Some good yields are
reported and many yields up to the
average, but considerable complaint is
received of light shriNeled grain. Good
Yields are generally reported in Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington
and fair yields in Montana.
The spring wheat crop has deterior-
ated considerably due to the heat and
drought, and some rust damage is re-
ported. Early fields are ripening fast
and harvesting has commenced in
parts of South Dakota.
Oats. The extreme heat and the
drought tended to ripen permaturely
the oat crop in many portions of the
country especially in the central
states. Many disappointing yields and
much light shriveled grain are report
ed. Harvesting Is well under way in
the central belt and commencing in the
most northern tier of states. Some
thresting is in progress.
Cotton. The condition of the cotton
crop has continued to improve con-
siderably due to the hot. dry weather
which has tended to check the rapid
increase of the boil weevil. Some de-
terioration due to excessive moisture
is reported in South Carolina Flori-

SAVE BEET CROP
IF II IS POSSIBLE
BY PROMPT WORK

Recently n number of Inquiries have
lege, asking what could be planted
weather delayed thinning of the sugar
heets to such an extent that weeds
and the lack of thinning have made
tho chances Of n sugar beet crop eN-
tremely low. Professor kezers advice
consisted mainly OF the following:
I'm quite number OF instances n
little extra vigorous work would save
the sugar beet crop where there is u
chance OF saving the crop IT should
be done. as It would probably return n
greater income than any catch crop
which could be put in after It. Nigor-
Gus cultivation and hocing will get
atop of the weeds. But cultlvatinE
close to the hsctF with disks and using
knives in the center IL Is possible to
get the surface well lposcncd up and
materially reduce tho amount of hand
labor necessary in the thinning.
"Of course, | realize that the thin
ming can be delayed. But my obser-
walton has been that II the grower has
a Eoor force Of hand workers he can
often save crop by vigorous action,
where otherwise it would he a total
LOGS.
III It is necessary to abandon the
beet crop. in most Of the beet regions
barley would offer tho best chance Of
getting grain crop. Raid barley
might be planted for n hay crop and
In the warmer sections Sudan grass or
even oats or wheat for hay crop
Any Of these must no considered as n
makeshift because of the lateness of
the season"
