As the work progresses in layiug tho 'new hexagon block sidewalk on Main street, the great improvement as to ap pearance and tho marked convenionco to the publio are more and moro apparent. It is a beginning whioh we hope will not ?nd soon, and as rapidly as possible tho work should bo oxtoudod to parts not now inoludcd in the contract already i wai ded. Tho addition to tho value of property fiontcd bj this handsome pav ing is more than thc cost of tho work, and, besides, it shows progress on the part of tho local authorities as well as the property owners. Tho spirit, whioh prompts this and other improvements cannot bo too warmly oooimeuded, ano we xeei timt it is only tho bogiuniug, and that larger ami hotter things arc yot to como. Let each citizeu endeavor to soe how much in tho way of improvement ho can mako, not just how little eau bc gotten along with. This is the iii st time an effort has been mado in tho matter of the town authorities working in connectiou with the property owuer. and it has been pro ductivo of good results. When tho two work separately for improvomonts each is hindered by a lack of unity, but when their forces aro joined the work moves smoothly and much more is accom plished. Lot tho work continuo steadily, and let every citizen and every official -work without interruption for the im provement and up-building of Walhalla. SOMETHING WRONG IN ANDERSON. Under tho caption, "Beautifying Court Square," the Anderson Mail hands up to US those three "pointed" paragraphs: "The plans for tho development of tho bnrron placo now known as Court Square <havo so far crystal ?zed as to make it cer tain that it is to bo perhaps ovou prettier than tho Plaza. Work will bo be gun upon its improvement at once. "A doctor in Moxico deolaros that the tapeworm is a sure cure for consumption. Wonder what tho Keowoo Courior would say if tho doctor should diseovor that .ableite snakes will cure typhoid fever? "Ho patient. You oau't expect Oyama to win a big victory ovory day, can you?" Why, to bo sure, if cabbage snakes .would euro typhoid fever wo'd advise people who don't happeti to live iu a good, healthy place liko Walhalla, to "catch 'em and oat 'om alive." But wo fear nomo ono in Tho Mail oflice has gono wrong.

V Tho Anderson Daily Mail risos to re. i'.uark: "Tho Koowco Courier actually puts itself in the samo class with tho .aily Mail." Well, wo admit we hesi tated before wo did it.

Thore is a very general complaint amoug the cotton mills in tho neighbor hood of Kock Bill as to the soaroity of labor. This bas become so acute that all the mill maohinery has not been kept running. Unole Billy Sumpter, who lives near Madison, Mo., looks for big crops this year, says the Kansas City Journal. He bases bis expectations on the No. 5. He says that big crops were raised in 1855, 1805, 1875, 1885 and 1805. and now it is 1905's turn. William K.

A groat deal of what has boou sold will bo used under corn, potatoes and crops other than cot ton. In a speech in Danville, Arkansas, last week, to a largo gathoring of farmers and business mon, advocating a r?duc tion of cotton acreage, Governor Jeffer son Davis combated the idea that the organization of farmers with a view to securing botter prices for cotton was in violatiou of the now anti-trust law of Arkansas. If it were held otherwise by the courts, the Governor declared, he would pardon all far mors prosecuted and convicted under the new act. The Andersou Intelligencer of last I week gavo the following advioe to farm ers: "l'en vi ne hay at $15 a ton-tho low est (.rico for which it oan now bo pur chased-is equally profitable as cotton at 8 cents. Tho looal demand for peavine hay is greater than the supply and car load after carload of Western hay is hoing sold on this market. The farmers of Audorson county would not loso mouoy if they wore to cut down tho cot ion acre ace one-half instead of ono-fourtb, if they planted tho laud in forage crops, peavine hay especially." Six masked men entered tho jail at Senatohia, Miss., last Wednesday morn ing and attempted to reecuo a prisoner named James Whit, who is to bo tried for murder. Sheriff J. M.

A large forco o workmen has beou engaged night and da] tunneling and cross tuunoling the old St Louis cemetery.

Board May Close the Seminary. Columbia, April 15.-It is likely that tho board of directors of tbe Columbia Theological Seminary, at a meeting to be held lu a few dayB, will order the closing of tho institution, at least temporarily, until a thorough canvass of the four stat cs controlling it eau bo niado to Bee if the attendance problem can be solved. This canvass will bo made through the coming summer and continued, if there are hopeful sigus. There are less than a dozon students left ofter the year's crop of graduates got out, and the attondanoe question, which has boon steadily grow ing more serious, has reached a criais. Many bitter controversies, involving the inst it nt ion, bave boen waged in tho past quarter of a century, and .tho result is that the institution is gotting little or no patronage from othor States and practi cally nono from its one State. The acri monious, though unsuccessful fight made last summer to remove tho seminary to Atlanta, reoponed old wounds, and has addod to the goneral distress. Squire Bailes in Trouble. Charlotte, N.
