FOR THE SURVIVORS.
The old soldiers ot the State will
doubtless bo delighted wita the gen
erosity of the hut legislature, which
made tho largest appropriation cvei
made for pensions in South Carolina.
Tho chocks fer this amount has been
malled to tho survivors of th" "thin
grey lino" and thcro will be ninny lit
tle needs and wants supplied by "ray
pension money." ThU year especially
will tho stipend come In hnndy and
will be worth much to the old fellows
lt would be fine If the State could
afford to mako this enough to sup
port in comfort every one of the oid
'boys, bu* that would be too . much tc
expect yet. The time ls coming, how
ever, when the Uno gets a little thin
ner that we shall be abie to do this
nud wo feel sure that there will bc
no more Joyful task than this for thc
young men who desire to honor thur
the patriotic wearers of the grey in
tho '60's. Theio are 498 of the old
soldiers to receive pensions In this
county, and the total amount for An
derson will be 810,875.
RECORD WHEAT TI ELD.
There shall bo bread and to spare,
according to the yield of wheat which
ls looked forward to this year. The
"government crop report will be is
sued today, and will doubtless show
Jhe largest yield of wheat ever made
"iii the United States. The western
wheat fields have shown an lucreaae
In acreage of over 4,000,000 acres, and
tho eastern section about as large
proportionately. The eattmated yield
tor this yoar, baaed upon the average
yield for the last ten years, ls 14
bushels per acre. Last year, however,
tho yield wag 19 bushels per acre, and
this amount may be duplicated. So
the wheat crop thia year may reach
700,000.000 bushels, and will be the
largest by far the country has ever
grown, The Intelligencer ls glad \<\
know that the Piedmont section ot
n-mth Carolina has awakener to the
possibility ot growing wheat, and that
the crop this year in this section will
also be the largest eveY grown.
CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL.
Greenwood County has a "live*
farm demonstration agent, and One
which is making the people of that
county "sit np and take notice." He
is progressive and hard working, and
In addition to a large com club for
tho boys, and n big number of demon
strators among the grown-ups, he has
started a correspondence course in
agriculture. Thia coarse is for the
boya Of the country schools, and he
has IIB pupils enrolled from 15
schools. The first lesson will be mall
ed out April 12, anet win continue for
the balance ot the year. The Green
wood Journal has the following tc
say ???'.to this w-<rk:
T?> ';ourae will extend through a
period of ten months or a year and
will include the miratner vacation.
? Th? .work will be done at home and
the help of the parente will be per- ?
mlssibte.

which'will be tilled out and return
M bv the pupils on the following
Monday.
The information or lesson sheet
will he left In the hands of the pupil
to be used later on. Aa Wera review
sheet will he sent at the end of each
ouarter, reviewing the work cover
ed buring that, period ot time.
Each pupil will bo graded as tc his
work and a careful Ate made of each
lesson. Certificates may.be awarded
' % the close sf tho course.
HA SIT.? KY STABLES.
Th?1 11.' <-11 i ?-? m er ls .informed that
the city board cf health is probably
unaniinouHly opposed to the proposi
tion put forth by tho city council to
build the proposed new city barns in
tho heart of the city, and favors the
construction of these in the suburbs
of the city, or at least away from the
buslnesH district.
If Anderson is ever to make a prop
er start along modern hygienic lines,
seeking really to do away with tho
major causes of flies, and other in
sects, which spread disease, the city
council should support the effort seek
ing to erect theae barns away from
the buslnos district, and where the
least possible harm will occur as a
result of their location.
The matter will doubtless shortly
I?,, brought to tho attention of the
council by official action of the board
of health, and sound hygienic policy
as well as wisc business principles
will doubtless dictate the adoption of
the poilcy desired by the health of
ficials cr the erection of a sanit?r:?
barn and stables.
It may be argued that other stables
are located as near the business dis
trict, and that to remove tht-so would
bo to work a hardship not to be tol
erated. In the event that this view
ls taken, and we would not combat it
then tho city should build a sanitary
barn, and Btablea aa a model for the
others to follow. i
FAYETTEVILLE ADOPTS IT.
The Intelligencer has a number of
linn's commented upon tho enlarge
ment of tho local chamber of com
merce M> as to include members from
the entire county. In ether words to
put into* effect the "Trenton Idea,"
which ia spreading rapidly in other
progressive communities. Thia "Tren
ton Idea" simply means the elimina
tion of the imaginary Uno or boundary
between tho city and the country, and
treating every member of the club as
If he were a citizen of the community.
It enlarges tho community by embrac
ing miles instead of blocks, and does
away with tho visionary difference
between tho man' who lives In the city
md the man who lives lp the count
ry.
Recently this Idea struck Fayette-'
trille, N. C., and tho chamber of cont
uerce invited the farmers of the sur
rounding country to como in and be
nembera The Charlotte Observer has
:he following to say about this pro
gressive step:
Fayetteville has what ls commonly
erm ed "a live" chamber of cont
uerce, and the latest idea of this or
ganization for broadening its held of
tsefulness la to open ita membership
oil to farmers of the surrounding
aunty and to invite them In. Some
lme ago lt made, farmers eligible
nd has a number of rural members,
nt wants an increase In this CIBBS.
n an article in. The Fayetteville Ob
er ver a call lal made.''or nt "good
len and true, to send en their applt
ations by rural carrier. The reason
ar wanting this -particular humber
t this particular time, la that it
rould "round cut the membership to
total 500." Asking and answering
Ito question as to just why the
entlemen who live In the country
hould accommodate the chamber of
ommerce. The Observer says for ox
ctly the same reason that the 32C
ave already joined-because they
an help themselves and ethers by so
oing. The modem farmer la just aa
inch a business man as anybody
Iso He buys his supplies, sells h i J
rop and banks hf*, money In town,
ll the currents of business affect his
elfare It ts as milch a part of suc
oBsful farming, to look after the
larkets for supplies, crops and
toney as to see to the sowing and
caping Tho country gentleman is
imply standing tn his own light when
e lets his market town shift for it
Mr.
"It would take quite a remarkable
ian to tell-the exact difference be
ween town and country anyway,"
aya Tho Observer' "Borne of Fay
tteville's leading business men live
utaldo the city limits, and that is so
f nearly every other town. When
lenderson'o charter waa drawn the
mita were set just 1,500 feet In ev
ry direction from a stake in tfle mid
ie of the town The clerk that copied
tat bill wrote it 1,606 miles, and ey
ry farmer In Cumberland Couny
red In the town ot. Henderson with
ut knowing lt."
It ls true, aa The Observer says,
kat "town and county make one
ommunlty that may prosper together
r. suffer apart The choice ls up to
ll InhSuitants. The measure ot proa
erity depends on the measure of co- ?
peration." lt is a wonder the Fay
ttevUle idea had not been born earl
Mr and had a Wide:- sp; ?ad. The
ommercial organisations that may
ia\*e been overlooking tho farmer as
, desirable factor tn the increase of
aembershlp have had their eyes shut
this tln*e to a me*t profltablo oc
npation.

COWS WERE ON SPREE.
"Send for the veterinarian at once,"
waa th a order given by Samuel
Sherard, a farmer living west of Pur
due University, when he noticed sev
eral of his cows acting strangely in
the yasture.
Sherard walked into bis pasture
yesterday and beheld the most dis
orderly pastoral scene that t'.er con
fronted bis vision. Beside, a blooded
Holstein, bad apparently * taken the
count and lay feet upward on the
sward. She was hiccoughing like a
balking automobile motor. Three
other cows were lying about her in a
Beml-circle and they seemed to be tak
ing no interest in life. Barby, a big
Jersey milker, was trying to emulate
her ancestors in doing tho Jump over
the moon. On all sides were tired
looking cows, some recumbent, others
on their knees. Their bovine solos
were ot the "washa matter?" type.
Sherard's neighbors were , aroused
and soon there was a board of inquiry
in session. The veterinarians came,
investigated and found that there
were no symptoms of disease In the
cows. Then it was discovered that In
a nearby orchard was a cider press
and on the ground was a big pile of
apple pnlp, better known aa pernease.
The cows had feasted on lt, the al
cohol had done Ita work and the ani
mals were actually on a spree.-Laf
