' ||kENTUCKY'S neglected cave j Every school boy knows something of the Mammoth cave. It Sa place of charm and of mysry. Thousands have pencited its depths, have gazed awestruck into the wondrous heights off its Star chamber, have listened the startling reverberations borne back upon them as they | iinnn f Vin u-afora nf PnKn river, have marveled at its eyeless fish, its sightless flies and beetles and other insects, its strange and brilliant flowers, says The News and Courier. IJven the most blase may find here something to interest them, Sprtiething to entertain, something, perhaps, to start new curfrtts of thought in motion. It or should be, attractive, alike the idly curious and ; to the deeply speculative; and yet a representative of the New. York VJforld, commissioned by his paper tjo visit the cave and report on ijta availability as a national park, drus compelled to spend much time in ascertaining from railroad authorities how to get there, ; while the journey itself was an uninterrupted story of delays and inconveniences. The World man stayed there two days. Three persons visited the cavern during that time. It ils forgotten. Why? "The trustees do not spend any money in advertising the cave or for improvements." It was not always thus. 4 'More than half a century i ago," says the Louisville Courier-: Journal, "there was an average of 100 visitors a day. Except for an occasional excursion the number is now insignificant, and yet there are more people in this 1 At - country, mere are more tourists i from foreign lands, and traveling I facilities have improved to a wonderful degree." The CourierJournal agrees with the New York newspaper man as to the causes which have brought about the change. The cave "is no less j a wonder now than it has been at any previous period of its his- j tory," says the Courier-Journal. 1 'There is no reason why the number of visitors should not be larger than ever before except that for many years there has been absolutely no effort to advertise the cavo and place its attractions before the public in a way that would induce people to visit it." Rett the Horse's Feet. Every farm horse should, . if possible, be allowed to go without his shoes at least two or three months every year, in the opinion of The Horseman. In fact, it is hardly necessary to shoe a horse on the farm unless he is to go on the hard roads or work on the hard soil where he is required to do much heavy pulling. Without shoes a horse's hoof will grow out, regain its natu.al shape, which is always more or less change*! by continuotls shoeing. Many city horses with hoofs fcound and cracked and otherwise injured, have been taken to the farm, their shoes pulled off and turned out to pasture and thoroughly cured within six months. In fact, the farmers around the Targe cities used to find in this class of animals a cheap supply, many of which turned out to be fihst-class horses, showing that all that was needed was rest on Mother Earth without their shoes. Andy in the Hall of Fame. Andrew Jackson has also been admitted to' the Hall of Fame, says the Montgomery Advertiser. Had Uncle Andy anticipated this delay he probably would have Eostponed his departure until a etter understand ng was held. It is said of him that after his death one of Ins former negro servants was approached and asked if he thought Gen. Jackson went to heaven. "I dunno 'bout dat, boss," said the old negro, "but if he wanted to he did." Whatever Old Hickory set his head to do he came very near accomplishing. That may be why he finally secured a place in the Hall of Fame. He has been entitled to it all along. Expert Cotton Pickers. Two 14-year-old Laurens county boys, Paul Bobo and his twin brother, Carl, picked 813 pounds of cotton in one day last week. These two boys are the sons of Will Bobo, a prosperous farmer who lives Four miles from Owings on the Laurens road, and so far as known they hold the record for picking cotton in Laurens county among the boy cotton gatherers. Means Much for Lancaster, ij Lancaster News: Much interest here and elsewhere is being manifested in the big auction sale of numerous lots i and small farms soon to be held at Lancaster, commencing on the 17th inst., conducted by J. Edgar Poag of Rock Hill. In addition to prospective buyers here and in the county, persons from a distance are coming to Lancaster daily to inspect the properties to be sold. Nothing in years has j j been undertaken in Lancaster | L i which promises so much for the j | town's future upbuilding as this I great movement, which beyond ' doubt will eventuate in the attraction of many home-seekers and investors here. As heretofore published, 1,674 acres of land lying in the eastern suburbs of Lancaster, formerly the property of Chief Justice Ira B. Jones, but now owned by the Jones Realty company, a chartered corporation capitalized at $50,000, have been divided into 51 small farms and the remainder into building lots. Hundreds of acres are in a high state of cultivation, and many of the lots and small farms are equipped with valuable improvements, dwellings, barns, stables and other buildings. Numerous streets j and first-class highways have \ been systematically laid olf and j graded, a number of them being ). extensions of the streets of the i; town of Lancaster. This feature | alone has cost several thousands ; of dollars. Two of the model , highways materially shorten the distance from the eastern portion ; of the county to town. Visitors coming here to view the many lots and farms to he sold express themselves a& being charmed with Lancaster and its : surroundings, a town which has made truly wonderful growth in the last few years. With its j newly installed waterworks system and electric light plant, : handsome churches and modern school buildings, many elegant residences, scores of them of rcj cent construction, large new opera house, numerous large brick stores, up-to-date hotels, three _ flourishing: banks, two railroads, largest livery and sales stables ; in the State, $1,000,000 cotton | mill, larg:e oil mill, ice factory and an $80,000 fertilizer plant in course of construction, not to mention numerous other smaller enterprises, Lancaster is indeed one of the best business and residential towns in the Piedmont section.
