Polly of the CircusPolly Is a peach, a great big juicy Elberta or Chinese cling. The parson is a trump, a preacher of truth in truth. The deacons are the real stuff, just exactly like some we have today. The elephant is on his job and earns all the wages he gets from the boss. So do the horses. "Polly of the Circus" Is a good play, one worth the money. Polly, a circus girl is Injured in a parade. She is carried into the nearest house?the home of a parson?where she must remain several months. Scandal mongers get busy. So do the deacons. They proceed to make life miserable for Polly. Of course she falls in love with the parson and the parson with her. She gets well. The show comes again. The deacons tell her that if she does not leave they will oust the parson. Of course she doesn't want to go, but she tells the parson that she does, and so puts out for the circus. Presently the parson turns up behind the scenes. So do the dpaoons. Pnllv bees off from riding, she does not want her ? parson to see her. However, she interrupts the announcement that she will not ride by rushing into the arena, where she fainted. She is followed by her faithful parson, who in spite of his deacons, takes his treasure home. But Polly is a good girl alright, alright. She left to shield her parson. Polly said raw things, but she has a gqeat big full, grown heart. She was born in a circus. Her another was a circus rider?not circuit rider?and Polly, for her chances, measures up to the standard. And the deacons?but if the deacons don't keep the preacher straight, who will V Cut it Out. Comptroller General A. W. Jones has recommended that a tax Commission be formed in order that the State may get what is coming to it in the way of taxes. The Legislature has not listened to him. It is understood that he will make the same recommendation again. Why not change the Railroad commissi^ to a tax Commission. The Railroad commissioners ought to have something to do. The commission might be given this additional work so that when the candidates for that office come round again they will have something else to talk about besides the Grand old State being "Discriminated against." R. R. Commission: S.C: Appendix: man. Multiply the extremes and the means together and you will have; the men of the R. R. commission amount to South Carolina's appendix.

Buggy aijd ^ou on both fact a most first-class Hj KING COMPANY Sweeping comes High. The fact that broom corn is selling at from S80 to $100 per ton while the broom corn farmers are asking $150 per ton for it may be instrumental in bringing back into use the old sedge broom that used to keep spic and span the homes of our frrn nrl fnthpra "We can even yet see the old colored broom vender going his rounds with the neat bundles of broom straw woven with white oak splits into trash movers of no mean variety. But these old, fashioned broom straw brooms are so cheap and they give the back hall such an antiquated appearance as they lean up in the corner under a string of red pepper or onions that the modern housewife would not allow the "things on the premises. Many a broad acre In South Carolina is ripe just now for the old broom straw har vest, and should some vender come our way with his handiwork of brooms wo will buy one, if for no other reason for thatof'Auld langsyne." Abbeville seems to have conceded the fact that the Trolley will run from Be]ton to Greenwood instead of from Belton to Abbeville? But still they want a line down in Abbeville, they want Anderson to cooperate with them and build this line. We would like to advise that as there is 'already a line from Anderson to Belton, and in consideration of the fact that Belton will be directly conuected with Greenwood and Greenville, it would be better to build the line from Belton to Abbeville via the rich and productive Craytonville section and Due West, such a line would pay well. It would traverse a good country. / Belton Times. No we do not conceve that the trolUy will go to Green wood instead of Abbeville, but we are about ready to concede that it is going nowhere below Belton. Something was to be done when Mr. Duke came back from Europe. "We were to know right away where the trolley would go. Mr. Duke has been back along while and the Trolley people are just as quiet. But this is no reasan why we should not have a trolley line. They will be all over this section of country some day and we might just as well start the ball. 'Franklin Caveny.

A Preacher who doesn't worry over 1 condition of his flock is a poor eheplu indeed. His flock were better off with* such a shepherd. A teacher who does not worry over work is not earning the money he recei' from the state.

Y do not think, each of us is trying to voi what we think our neighbor thinks. 0 iginality seems a thing of the dim past % Summer Schools for Teachers eThe Spartanburg Journal has the following: to say anent summer schools: The last summer school supported by state aid was hold at Winthrop college in 1900. For the last two years a most helpful and successful school for teachers has j been held at Wofford college. Tlio teachers 'did real work there and were highly i pleased with results. No state aid was given. The instructors worked about as | -1 much for glory as money, and received a \T little more of the former than the latter. LjL Yesterday's State announces that Winthrop will ask the state for $5,000 besides rthe ?1.500 secured by Governor Ansel from the Peabody fund to assist in having a summer school at Winthrop. If that suggestion conies from President S Johnson and the trustees of Winthrop it shows that they are somewhat selfish, or are conscious of their superiority in conducting a summer school for teachers. rThe results of their former attempts ought to be a warning to them. The Winthrop idea is wrong. If the money should be 1 appropriated, it should not all bo given to one school. With this revival going on now in school work there should be a half dozen schools l for teachers in this state. - It is very inconvenient for poorly paid teachers to travel 150 to 200 miles to attend a summer school and they are the ones which need the instruction. Some of the teachers who have a little money, attend these schools as a sort of vacation frolic and do very little studying. Give all the appropriations to one school and common teachers needing the training would receive little benefit. Legislators should consider this matter carefully and with a view of helping the to teachers in need of help. It is the teachers ?- -? -? oaWiI tvhn nperl the Ill cnui^t; ui uiuuuj lis instruction. Few of them are able to bear the expense of railway fare and board, ny Five schooJs could be located in the state which would accommodate the teachers of se every county and they would do five times as much good as a school located in one place and near the state line out ?of reach of the remote counties. Eailroad fare for 100: or even 200 miles """ does not amount to much. The board of teachers is the main item of cost. They can get board at a lower figure in either gs Clemson or Rock Hill than they can anywhere else. The difference in cost of board would more than make up for the on difference in price of railroad fare to some 2jr nearer place. "What we have been preaching for a long *e time is better spools. Teachers are just like other people. They will not attend something where they get nothing for =? their trouble. We need better summer schools in order that we may have better common schools. Concentrate your energies and money. n8 Don't dissipate both. Have one summer 1/-1 school in the State and make it a good ;iv_i , one, one worth attending. Make .the price for board low. Use public dormitories of the State institutions with, cooks, help, and every thing necessary. Run the school for teachers just as it is run for pupils. In the second place, get teachers 'of ability for the work. Pay them for their id service. Get lecturers worth while and n make it to the advantage of every teacher .' in the State to attend. in It would not be a bad idea for trustees a of each district to pay the railroad faro of each teacher in the district to and from the summer school. If this offer were made to the teacher she would feel it incumbent on her to go; As a matter of fact one can got board at these Institutions about as cheap as they can at home. King Korn. Old Rex, cotton, will have to look to his laurels, lie has hold the reins for many years but corn is a close second this year. In Abbeville county the corn crop will be larger than it lias ever been in the history of the county. A safe estimate places 1^, the 1910 crop at about three times the 1900 of crop, thus making an enormous increase ice during the ten years past. "e Tt. is a boon to the county. Those who ey. uj. have corn enough to do them are to be Ir. congratulated. Before the war A asked B. what kind of a farmer X was; B's leplywas "Oh, he is K5( a pretty fair former, but ho buys corn ; ie? There are many of Ihe seme kind to-dav pr. , thoy are pretty fair farmers but they buy nd corn. The increase in corn production in South Carolina is due to a large extent to tho oflbrts of ^lemson College. If there has been one thpig more than another that rht Clomson lias worked for it is a larger production of corn throughout the State. Her lecturers have preached the doctrine cm of more corn, her bulletin have worked on tho problem at length, many years has this institution worked on ths problem, so lay let us give the credit to the Callege that is due it. Out of its/ olTorts arose the Corn clubs and now the State is .safe. It makes no dilfe rence whether the land went Bepub^ lican or Demo cratic yesteiday, south Carrrj olina is safe with million of bushels of or" corn to live on. or. " n't Corn Club reports. Tn the. written renorts of their work the his ~ . Corn Club boys have given some interesting data. Tlie roports are clear, concise, suscinct statements of their doings and ^ they make interesting muling. j The report of Maurice Machine especialiy is interesting for the reason tlmt he did not select best land but took an acre of his P001'hillside f?1' his demonstration work. Ho did not put more manure than the land res would warrant, but made his experiment ," with the end in view of determining just ", what could be done with this class of land (U> when planted to corn, what real practical increase could be waenchcd from dead poor land. IVft . ' His aero made less than one-third of a bale of cotton last year. This vear off of ROS ej the same acre ho cleared ?6.22 by working" . it in corn and no doubt has almost doubled the vakio of the land by putting back into ' it the humus of which it has been robbed. tv Messrs Jones aud Leslie liavo intorestu; ing accounts and well worth reading.
