SENATOR EflRLEJftlKES ir REPLY. THINKS MR. VERNER 18 ACTING CONTRARY TO HIS (VERNER'8) OWN POLICY. [Too Late for Last Issue.] Columbia, jan. 21.-Editors Keo wee Courier : I see that Hon. B. E. Vernor has made another referenoe to me. I do not like suoh notoriety, bnt I feel that tho publio will pardon me for giving the complete record in answering loose statements. I did not even ask any one to take my statement, though I had the right to demand proof, whioh he has not given, bnt I gave conclusivo proof from one who knew. I bear no malioe in this matter whatever, bnt pity for him for the predicament he has placed himself In. Now, I see, by the Journal of the House that Mr. Vor nor has intro duced a bill to authorize and ern? power Louis B. Magid, Robert Mo? Millan, their associates and assigns, po construct and maintain a dam or dams across Tngaloc river, oto. I find in this bill the following lan guage: "To oondemn land for the backing of water of said river and tor erecting poles and electric wires or other contrivances for the trans mission of electricity and power and the conveying of water," eto. This becomes too humorous for comment. I do not wish to be understood as condemning Mr. Vernor's aotion in this, for I nee no good reason why such companies should not be given the same rights and privileges that are given by the general law to rail- j way, telegraph and telephone com panies, and as there is no provision for them in the general law, this can only be done by speoial aots. Does it not appear strange that he should so soon do the very thing that he has tried to oondemn me for'/ I am willing to bo judged by the reoord, and I do not yield to any one for telling the truth, but in order to put it beyond question, I gave the proof.

Having an acquaintance with the "Black Spurgeon," Rev. C. T. Walker, who preached in New York four yearn, Rockefeller attended Walker's church to-day, heard the sermon, made a gonorous contribution when tho col lection was taken up and later talked with Walker, who introduced the oil magnate to tho stewards of the churoh. -! A Columbia speoial, of January 28, to the News and Courier says : John S. Vernor is very ill at his home on Senate street. Ho was taken sick ^last Thursday night while attending the State Bar banquet, and went home before the banquet fairly be gan. Pneumonia developed and his physician states that he is very ill to-night. Mr. Vernor will soon re tire from the offioo of Master in Equity for Riohland county, whioh he has held for several years. He was formerly Comptroller General. The United States Senate has adopted a resolution calling for au investigation of the lumber trust by the Bureau of Corporations. Lum bering is tho fourth largest industry in the country.

The State has published frequently the formula for the "Williamston Plan," or the way devised by E. Mciver Williamston, of Darlington, to make five ears of corn grow where bat one grew before. The formula as given heretofore has been a little long. The following has been pre pared by James Henry Rice, Jr., as tho most oonsise form in whioh it oan be given : Break land in winter one-fourth deeper than common ; lay off in six foot rows, leaving ti vc-i neb balk. When time to plant break out balk with scooter, following in same far row on this ridge. Ridge then with same plow, going deeper ; run corn planter with Dixie plow, with wing taken off. Plant as early as possible, usually about the middle of March. Drop corn grains every five or six inohes. Use no fertilizer. Give first working with harrow or any plow that will not cover plant. Second working with ten or twelve-inoh sweep on both sides of plant. Thin after this working. Corn should not bo worked again until sufficiently stunted, so that it will never grow largo. When it is about ten or twelve inohes high put on fertilizer. Mix 200 pounds cotton seed meal, 200 pounds aoid phos phate, 400 pounds kain it. Fut half in old sweep furrow, on both sides of every other middle. Cover by breakiug out middle \ i th turn plow. One week later treat the other mid dle in tho same way, fertilizer and all. In a few days aide corn in first middle with lG-inoh sweep. Put all your nitrate of soda in this furrow, if lt'HH than 150 pounds is used ; if more, put half. Cover with one fur row or turn plow, then sow peas in middle broadoast at rate of a bushel to the aore and finish breaking out. Lay by early. More corn is ruined by lato plowing than by lack of plow ing. No hoeing is necessary and middle may be kept clean until time to break out by harrowing. For 60 bushele to the aoro leave stalks 16 inches apart; for 75 bush els, 12 inohes; for 10O bushels, 8 inohes apart. Do not pull foddor; do not out tops ; let peas and pea vines die on land. Vniuo in vertilizer to land is worth more than forage. South Carolina's wealth is esti mated at $585,853,222. The wealth per oapita in this State is estimated at $178.51.

STATE TEACHERS^ ASSOCIATION PLANS TO INCREASE IT8 MEMBERSHIP PRE8. DREHER SENDS CIRCULARS. In an effort to make the Statt Teachers* Association a larger and more influential body, at the meet ing at Winthrop College last sum mer the committee on reorganisa tion, whtoh had boon appointed thc year before, made a report, the prin cipal feature of which was the rec ommendation in regard to a perma nent membership. A recommenda tion was also made that a committee of three be appointed from each county to secure members and arouse interest in the State association. The recommendations were unani mously adopted. In order to get this information before the teachers of the State, E. S. Dreher, of Columbia, the presi dent of the association, has sent a circular letter to all the county superintendents, 104 town and city superintendents, and 28 oolleges throughout the State, in which an nrgent appeal is made for a more earnest effort in behalf of the State Teachers' Association. Accompany ing these letters were about 4,000 membership pledge cards for use in securing new members. Heretofore membership in the association has been very irregular and uncertain, but by the plan now proposed those who sign the cards for membership will be considered members in good standing, sub ject to annual dues, until a writ ten resignation shall be sent to the seoretary. This plan has been pur sued by the National Educational Association since its organization. Many State associations follow the same plan, which, indeed, seems to be the only one that.works success fully. Should the plan outlined prove successful in largely increasing the membership of the association, as it is hoped and believed it will, a copy of the minutes of eaoh annual meet ing, inoluding all addresses and a oomplete list of all members, will be sent to eaoh member of the associa tion. While this association is primarily a teachers1 organization, any white person may become a member by paying the annual dues, whioh are one dollar for men and fifty cents for women. The following report, made by the reorganization committee, last sum mer, was unanimously and enthusi astically adopted : *1. That the annual membership fee be made $1 for men and 50 oente for ladies, and that a oopy of the minutes be furnished each member, "2. That eaoh member sign and file in duplioate with the seoretary s membership pledge card. M8. That a committee of three be appointed from each comity (a) To solicit membership and tc arouse an interest in tho work and purpose of the association, (b) Thai these committees keep in touoh witt the secretary of the association." At present the membership of thc State Association is only 157, wher it should be not less than 2,000 Will you not do your part to seourc this number? Any person interested in tho oaus< of education, and of the State Teachers' Association of South Caro lina, who may see this article, ii urged by the management of thc association to assist in widely dis seminating the information contained in it.

The reappearance of the oard eharp oUjthe Atlantio liners, together with the fabulque losses imputed to seve ral young millionaires, reminded Mark Twain the other day of an ante-bellum happening. "When I was a pilot on the Mis sissippi," he said, "I saw one night a handsome blaok boy standing alone in the stern, looking disconsolately at the dark and lonely river. He was, of course, a slave. "?Hello,' said I, ?who do you be long to, anyway V " 'I did belong to Massa Carroll, sab, when I oame aboard,' said the boy; ?but he's been in de oabin pinyin' poker wid de oaptain over an hour, an' I dnnno who I belongs to now.'

Washington, Jan. 25.-Tho post oflioe and post roads committee of the House reaohed a decision yester day in the matter of inoreasad pay for rural free delivery carries, and will reoommend that the maximum salary be fixed at $840 per year, or $70 per month. Judge J. M. Griggs, of Georgia, who is a member of the committee, was urging his bill calling for a raise to $900 a year, but a majority of the committee thought $840 the proper figure. This will no doubt pass the House and become a law. Congressman Aik^n, of South Carolina, has been one of the most aotive in urging the in?rense. He, too, wanted the oarriers to get $900 a year, but will aocept the compro mise agreed on by the oommittee. He thinks, however, that the in orease to $900 a year will soon oome. An Insidious Danger.

Physioal oulture, we are told, and this seems reasonable, is re sponsible for the ohange.

Some few persons, it is said, object to the new appearance the baok takes in consequence, but as all common sense folks regard it as an indication that women are growing healthier, the old question, "What do I you oare how you look if you only | feel well ?" is pertinent and polite.
