The times thinks that if 01 the 3-rnlll tax were removed that then ft: each district would make a just and u square" return of its property. Make a bi canvass of the funds necessary to run the jjj I schools nine months and vote the neccs- f( sary tax. T There is no doubt but that the 3-miIl s' tax is, in every instance, insufficient to n raise funds' enough to run any of our fc schools for nine months. Whether or not s< it would t>e a good plan to do away with it ^ is a question. Some communities vote G, whatever additional tax is necessary to si run the schools nine months already I r Sr>rr>A pnmmunifcies will vote not one cent I more than they can get around voting, ec They make the 3-mill tax answer for all G I phool purposes. If it is sufficient to run the school's nine months, well and good, if it is sufficient to rnn the school for only w six months why then they will let it rest ^ at that. vj It would not be wise to remove the pi 8-mill constitutional tax from such a ^ community. The result would be that w they would in many instance, have no schools at all. We should certainly hold H to what we have. " Instead of removing the constitutional 3-mill tax it were better to double it and at make it 6-mills. This would in most in stances preclude th e necessity of certain communities voting special taxes of 2. 3, h< and 4 mills, to supplement the constitu tional 3-niiil tax and at the same time it would lengthen the terms of other schools e2 which for various reasons refuse to vote a in special tax or supplement the constitutional 3-mills tax by private contribution. S( The times is correct in its position that Jj something should be done to lengthen h< the terms of our country schools and it seems to us that the best, qui ckest and safest way is to double the constitutional si provision.

Lowndesvillo, Juno Gth, 1910. Monday being Memorial day, the rural irriers "were oflf duty. These were the uly ones in this section who observed it i ii holy-day. On Tuesday, Mr. W.C.

It went to the Calhoun Cotton Mill, here are yet Some more of the "fleecy ;aple" in the hands of the producer. Prof. 0. K. Horton, who was born and sared in this place, came from his home, >r several years in Georgia, and spent jveral days with friends and relatives pre last week. He had been superintenditof the public schools in Monticello, in jr sister State, for three years, giving ich entire satisfaction to all concerned latat a late meeting of the school authories in that place he was elected to same jsition for another year, but later resign1 to accept a professorship in Locust rove Institute, which is a better position many respects than the one he formerly cupied.

Mr. Tom Hill of Anderson, who had been ; the John Hopkins hospital for treatent for some time, was successfully op ated upon for appendicitis; on his reirn to his home last week stopped over are with friends for a' few days. Mr. J. B. Kay who had been at WofTord jllesre for the last year came homo a few lys ago to spend his vacation. When the icrcises of that noted institution of learnig are begun again he will doubtless "be ; his post." Mrs. A. C. Latimer of Belton, and her >n-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. is. C.

The people of this town and section were locked and saddened at the death ot Mr. M. Tucker, which took place today was week af?o. He had pneumonia for about tn days and despite as good medical skill 3 was to be had here, and the closest, indest attention of relatives and friends, e was taken away.

Speculators in New York are holding ut the sure relative lure to cotton seed il mills in the South, as that with which amblers on the New York Cotton Exhange hypnotize both farmers and Cot>n mills into accepting, in advance, an nfair price for their staple. For instance, despite the present sacarciv of cotton seed oil, due to the short crop f last season, and patent inability to seure fresh supplies before next September, ew York speculators are now selling oil ptinns for December-January delivery t a discount of 13 cents a gallon under he parity for spot delivery of crude oil ) the South. They are, moreover, urging lills in the South to follow their example, a the face of the heavy penalties paid by outhern mills for nibbliug at such bait ist summer. Dealing in futures is as bad for the coton seed oil operator as it is for the farmer, "he undesirability is emphasied in tho curent instance, where there is a scarcity oi >il amounting almost to a famine, and trhere uncertainty regarding the forthoming yield is the dominant note of the ituation. Oil mill men have everything to gain nd nothing to lose by holding on tight to heir respective crusnings, the advise of he eastern gamblers to the contrary notwithstanding. They can rest assured that he market will absorb, at trood prices, and i>r spot delivery, whatever oil "they may rush when the new crop is coming in. Following any other course, they will simply be voluntarily sacrificing profits o which they are legitimately entitled to eed the pockets of speculators, whose cale interest in the situation is that of he detached gamester, or the seeker of ommissions. If the Oil mills of the South are anxious o embark upon philanthropy undiluted 10 better opening offers than in mortgager at the present time the output, which rill be worth infinitely more next fall. The one way to avoid such disaster is to efuse to sell "oil for future delivery, un?ss at prices incomparably more commenurate with the potential value of theproluct than those now offered.

INVENTOR OF TELEPOST BEGAN AS WIRE OPERATOR. Has Now Received Highest Honor* For His Achievements In Rapid Tic legraphy. "Many of the prominent men of the time began their careers n the comparatively humble calling of the telegraph operator," says Leslie's Weekly. "One of the most successful of these is Patrick Bernard Delany of New York, whose Inventions in improving telegraphy have attracted worldwide attention Born In Ireland, Mr. Delany was brought to this country when a lad, became an excellent telegraph operator at the age of sixteen and at eighteen was one of the most expert press operators In the land. Afterward he rose to high positions in various telegraph companies and later was associated with Mr. Edison In rapid telegraphy experiments and began his work as an lnWa Hn-Hcxvl fhp fnmoui 'antl T CUIV1' uw v?v * vw Page relay,' for which he received a considerable sum, and Invented the antl-Induction cable, the patents of which netted him over $100,000. "Turning his attention to synchronous multiplex telegraphy, he perfected a system whereby six Morse circuits were obtained from a single wire and was awarded for tt the highest prize at the International Inventions exhibition In London in 1835. Mr. Delany twenty-one years ago equipped a laboratory at South Orange, N. J., and devoted his time to automatic rapid telegraphy, in which he has had great success, his apparatus transmitting a thousand words a minute over a sir gle wire. This Is regarded by experts as one of the greatest achievements In the telegraphic line." DEMANDS FIRM POLICY TOWARD SOUTH AMERICA. Plea For the Protection of Amerloan interests South of the Caribbean. "If the new 'temple- of peace,' the $750,000 building for the International hnrean of American republics, of which the cornerstone was laid In April, is not to be a memorial to the ruin of United States Interests In a number of these republics, our government must establish a reputation for firmness when these lntereiits are attacked," says a writer In the Pan-American. "With the completion of the Isthmian canal these interests, which are already estimated at a valuation of $1,000,000,000, will be largely increased A policy as Just as It is unyielding when necessity requires will mear. the salvation of existing Investments and the protection of the investor of the future. "The fact that a definite remedy is required was Impressed anew upon the United States by the unsuccessful effort on the part of the state department to secure arbitration of five long pending American claims against Venezuela. "The merits of these particular cases la not, however, the question of immediate Importance. This question is, What effect must be expected from a policy which Involves the abandonment of citizens whose wrongs have been declared to the world? If redress Is Eiot to be exacted for *hese wrongs, what fate can other despoiled American citizens expect In Central and South America when menaced by unscrupulous governments? "The definite remedy demanded involves no more than the assertion of a policy of insisting upon prompt and thorpugh redress of injuries. It would not be difficult for the United States to establish such a reputation for protecting the interests of its citizens in South America that these interests would rarely be attacked. All the precedents go to show, especially In the case of Venezuela, that the most Impudent, contumacious and belligerent of South American potentates will I .become tractable upon the mere threat lot fbree." 1? ?

Advocates of Regulating Animal Experiments Ask Operators Some Pertinent Questions. Protesting against attempts to misrepresent the attitude of the Society For the Prevention of Abuse In Animal Experimentation, Mr. F. P. Bellamy, counsel for the society, denies that It ever proposed the prohibition of vivisection. The society stands, he Bays, upon precisely the platform where Herbert Spencer, the greatest of English scientists, stood when in 1895 he, with nearly 200 of the most prominent physicians In England and In this country, signed a statement In which he said: "We believe, therefore, that the common interests of humanity and science demand that vivisection, like the study of human anatomy in the dissecting room, should be brought under the direct supervision and control of the state. The practice, whether In public or In private, should be restricted by law to certain definite objects and surrounded dy every possioie bhibguard against license or abuse." Mr. Bellamy Insists that these questions call for a frank answer from those who oppose any snch safeguards: Qucriu For the Doctor*. How can legitimate scientific work by competent men be injured by a law which will limit all vivisection to competent persons? How can legitimate scientific work be injured by a law which will compel the use of anaesthetics in all cases where the success of the experiment does not make the use of anaesthetics impracticable? If our proposed legislation does not fully protect legitimate scientific work, why do not our opponents who criticise it accept our often repeated invitation and suggest some amendment which will fully orotect Scientific re search? Why the secrecy with which vivisection la surrounded? Has the disemboweling of living animals, In order to experiment with their vital organs, or the amputation of limbs from one animal and attaching them to another become so painless that the public has no interest to know what effort Is made to save unnecessary suffering? Or Is the brutality of the whole thing so hideous or so unnecessary that the operators do not dare to let in the light of investigation upon it? We again challenge them to open the doors of their star chamber laboratories and let the truth be known. In no other way can they quiet the public apprehension or avert the legislation of which they have such dread. PIONEER AMERICAN LiNEN MILLS BRANCHING OUT. Hug* Plant Now Planned Mado Neceeaary by One Year'a Development of New Induatry. Impressive evidence of the progress of the pioneer American Linen mills established at North Brookfield, Mass., about a year ago Is found In the plans just completed for extending the plant Beginning with limited capacity In a mill that had to be adapted by degrees to the requirements of the Oxford Linen mills, the business has grown to such an extent that plans have been drawn for half a dozen new buildings, all larger than the present main mill. Thn Diana call for an adxlltlon dou ble the size of the present main mill, a new stock, storage and shipping building, weave shed, "oxollnt" factory, bleach bouse and fiber preparing house. The two latter buildings will be In the center of a quadrangle formed by the other buildings mentioned. All the buildings will be of re-enforced concrete. The new weave shed Is to be a two story building, provided with overhead lighting by means of a saw tooth roof containing 875 skylights. The power plant will be located well away from the mill building proper, all the machinery In which will be, electrically operated. A stock issue of about $165,000 made In connection with the beginning of these extensions was all taken within a week, largely by original shareholders In the mills. The Oxford mill was the first es tabllshment Id the United States to undertake the manufacture of linen products from fiber prepared by the Mudge process. This accomplishes In a few hours the work that abroad requires manj weeks. Judging from the extensions to be carried oat by the Oxford mills, there seems to be no farther reason to question the Immense success of the undertaking. Turbina Fans For Amerioan Dreadnoughts. For the forced draft equipment of the United States battleships Delaware and North Dakota twenty-eight turbine fans, each with a capacity of 24,000 cubic feet a minute, hare been built at the Troy works of the Sirocco Engineering company. Although only twenty-seven Inches In diameter, the fourteen Sirocco turbine fans to be Installed on each of the United States Dreadnoughts supply 330,000 cubic feet of air every minute to keep the fires roaring under the boilers of these monster war vessels. It Is an enormous output for their small size that has led to the adoption of this type of fan on all the principal transatlantic liners, In European navies and now by the United States naval authorities.
