(It pays to buy for cash.) BUSINESS MEN'S MEETING. Mutter of Improving Hoads Was Taken Up by lindy. At the meeting of tho Business Men's League last Friday night the matter of Improving roads was taken up and dismissed at length. The road loading to Westminster came In for llrst consideration, and it was decided that the Importance of this road and its present had condition made it imperative to give it imme diate attention. A committee was | appointed, consisting of live mem bers, to confer with tho Westminster Board of Trade, asking that body to appoint a similar committee for con ference with the County Commission ers. The committee consists of W. M. Brown, president ot tho Business Men's League, chairman; W. C. Hughs, R. T. Jaynos, A. I?. Crisp and \V. L. Vernor. lt was the general opinion of the members of the league thal this road should be widened to ?IO feet and put into such condition as to make it a model road. The citizens of West minster have intimated that they will Improve tho road from Westminster to Connoross creek, and tho confer ence between thu Board of Trade of thal place and the Business Men's League of Walhalla Will have as its object the making ol' plans and agree ing upon a system for the road so lluil it will be uniform in all re spects the entire distance. lt is boped to secure the co-operation of tile county odicials to the extent that they will erect a permanent bridge, sufficiently high to bo above any pos sibility ol' high waiter, lt is thought to be absolutely necessary that some slight changes will have lo be made In the road at one or two places in order to get a good grade. The changes, however, will not be mate rial. Other propositions in regard to better roads will bo taken up by the league as soon as this one is well In hand, the details settled and work under way. Another matter taken up was thal in regard to the graded school build ing. An auditorium ls badly need ed now that tho school ls under the control of tho dlstilct and the num ber of pupils has greatly Increased. Although the building and equip ment cost the town $8,000, lt was thought that the town would be will ing to release the property to the district provided the district will Is sue bonds to the amount of ? 10,000, one-half of the Issue being for the purpose of retiring tho $5,000 of school bonds outstanding, and tho other for the erection of the audito rium. A petition to the free-hold ers and tax payers of ibo district '..as authorized to bo circulated and a committee appointed to have charge of this work, the committee being composed as follows: W. L. Vernor, chairman; A. P. Crisp and I). A.. Smith. The possibility of getting a gravity waler system was brought before the league. This ls a proposition that has scarcely taken shape as yet, but the outline of such a project for early materialization has been started, and lt is hoped will take some definite shape in thc near future. The pro position Includes both our sister towns of Westminster and Seneca within Its scope. This project will bo ready for more minute considera tion, lt ls hoped, wii hin the next two weeks. -Mrs. R. P.

"Bread ls the staff of life.*' The United States Bureau of Agriculture ls spending thousands of dollars an nually to encourage the raising of the "staff of life"-corn. They have I ried and appealed for years to the manhood of our country, and largely in vain. At Inst, as "the child is fa ther lo the man." and as the price of the "staff of life" is unreasonably high, our Bureau of Agriculture, as a last resort, have, like tho Southern Confederacy in its last extremity, appealed and called for tho boy-man hood-the 18-year-old boy volun teers-to rally around the standard, "staff of life," and go into the Holds and raise more corn on fewer acres, with less work and smaller expense. To encourage these volunteer boys the United States government offers a handsome prize. Our Slate Bu reau calls for 3,000 boys in thi.j con test, and litis number ls almost made up and it will reach above the num ber. Just think ol' lt! Three thou sand boys co in peting for these prizes in the cont eonlest in our own proud State! What a stimulus to agricul ture, to corn raising! As we look down through the coming years he i that runs may read the uplift to tho farming world through this early bending of the twig in the way it ! should grow. Fifty boys wanted! Fathers of sons ?ind owners of soil, spare the time, the boy and lay oui tho aero and urge your boy to bo a "worthier son of a worthy sire." Help him to grow 40 to (50 bushels of corn where you have been accustomed to grow 10 to I."? bushels. Oconce county to the front with her boys! Our County Superintendent of Ed ucation issued the call and eleven boys entered the contest. Since then the number has reached twenty, and we must have Atty boys-won't be satisfied with less than thirty. The moneyed men of Oconee must be in terested in the boys, and will quickly realize the great Investment and gladly contribute to the prize fund. It will not be less than :>n0 and more likely $100. So, boys ol' Oconee under 18 years of age. with pride of State, love of county, and a profound admiration for tilling the soil, look out your acre, plan out your work, send your name to W. C. Hughs, Superintend ent of Education, and go to the Court House on ibo 26th of March and get all the details as to raising thal acre of corn, and you will have taken a very advanced step in thc study of agriculture. South Caro lina holds the world record for the largest yield of corn on one acre, both by man and boy. What has been done can be duplicated and even surpassed, and now is the time. Teachers of the public schools of Oconee, as a life-long tiller of the soil, and corn raiser, and now as a member of the County Board of Ed ucation, I appeal to you to lay this matter before your boys and urge and encourage them to join the Boys' Corn Club and make up the fifty boys. Richland school, though small in numbers, will furnish seven of these boys. Surely the other 7 2 schools of Oconee will furnish the other forty-throe boys. The time to enter closes April 1st. To start and encourage this work, cs an officer In Westminster Bank I am authorized to offer $2f>. in tho name of this bank, to the boy under 18 years old who makes tho greatest yield of corn on one acre in Oconee during the year 1010. Other contri butions are solicited. J. P. Strlbltng, Member Co. Bd. of Education. Taft's Brot her-in-Uaw a Suicide. Pittsburg, Pa., March 12.-Suicide by shooting caused Ibo death of 'Phos. McK. Laughlin, brother-in-law of President and Mrs. Taft, and assist ant treasurer of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company. The confirmation of many rumors lo this effect was made by Coroner S. G. Jamison after a visit to Mr. ?\U' Lnughlln'H home, in Woodland road, this afternoon. While Mr. McLaugh lin ls reported to have died at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, tho coro ner did not receive nows of lt until 1 j), m. to-day, when the physician's certif?calo of death was returned. This stated the cause as cerebral apoplexy, and was signed by Dr. T. M. T. Mc Kennan. Persis' % U calls for Infor mation caused thc coroner to Investi gate tho caso, and after a visit to the Laughlin home, he said that tho phy sician's reason was technically cor rect, atlhough tho cerebral hemor rhage had boen caused by a bullet. Effort had been made to conceal tho fact that Mr. McLaughlin had ended his own lifo because of tho promi nence of tho family. -Best, prolific seed corn at Nor man's. PATTEN HOOTED OPP EXCHANGE Followed Through Manchester Streets I ndi Rescued l>y Police. London, March 1 1.--Janies A. Pat ton, tho Chicago speculator, who j came to England, as he said, "to look around," had occasion to look sharp ly to-day from the moment lie appear ed on the floor of thc Colton Ex change at Manchester. His appear ance was the signal for a hostile demonstration, which resulted in his i forclhlo ejection from the exchange, a flight through tho streets from a mob that was prevented only by tho police from doing him serious harm. Hatton was hidden for a while In r. business outee and later smuggled Into a cab and driven to a more se cure refuge. Patten's coining to Manchester had been widely heralded since his arri val in Liverpool, and tho reception was ready for him. There are per sons In Manchester who were squeez ed lu the Patten rise in tho price of colton last year, and they have nei ther forgotten nor forgiven the man who at times has forced the price of I colton and grain to new ligures. The business of Ibo exchange was i suspended and hundreds of men left the pit and followed the speculator Into Hank street, where another big ?crowd was soon assembled. At this point the visitor had a reception even more riotous dian that which greeted liim within the exchange. The mob hurled epithets and a hundred lists were shaken al Hatton, I who turned deathly pale as the threatening crowd pressed closely and seemed on the point of person ally assaulting him. Al a critical moment a strong force of oollce ar rived and, forcing their way through the rioters, surrounded Patten and hustled him Into an olllce and out the back door Into a cab, in which he was hurriedly driven lo a railroad station. He took the llrst train for Liverpool. Patten's connection with the rise In the price of cotton last year was responsible for the outburst of hos tility toward him at the "Cottonop olis" to-day.
