Another claaa room will be 18x29 feet, and there are to be two entrances,' each with a vestibule. It will bo hand somely finished, painted and com pleted In every respect in one day. livery carpenter and mechanic in Spartanburg -will be employed for thla task, and if there is not en ough in tho city, others will be se cured from other towns.

To the Cotton Growers of the South I feel It proper ami advisable in u?e au the one who should bo best Informe^ as to probable results to bo expected under the "Hock ilill Plan" movement for reduction of cotton acreage, to houiu! a final warning to everyone who has signed the "nock Hill Plan" pledge to ad here strictly to It not only an a mat ter of personal honor, but for the sake of his own direct gain and pro tection, /Wit |i equal emphasis I would urge all, in their own interest, who have not bfen reached by Hock Hill plan canva^ser^, or who have declined to sign tjhd pledge, to cut the acreage and cut It deep. My opinion of the Judgment of the man who will in crease his acreage this year is not flatteityng. IMihting time in about on thru out l he belt , and the Hock Hill plan work 'is being cloaed up in the sev eral iitatea, with an unusually late aprlnf prevailing generally over the belt. The movement of fertilizer baa gotten a tardy start, but has put on a mighty gait recently. Those who look to a late spring, the tyolse of fertilizer reduction, or to the other fellow doing the reduc ing ? ?to any combination of those to protect them agalnat low prices ? ? are apt to be the ones to suffer. Tile only safe course in the pre sent crisis Is to cut the acreage and cut it deep. The spring of 1897 Is said to be the latest on record. The number of acres that year exceeded 1896 by 1,046,375 an the Uumbor of bales produced ex ceeded 1896 by 2,400,000 with the result that prices were low during the frU of 1897. If wo are to take 1897 'as an example, It will not do to depend on the bad woather? doing the work. Wo have a four million bale sur plus hanging over our heads. Im portant foreign spinners who bought at lost f hUth Tow ~prtceTr -for three years ahead, will not be In the mar ket at living prices this fall. Mill labejr unrest and world-wido coal troubles further militate against us. T( play ? the game properly wo should not make more that 12,000, ?)10 bales this year. The courage of those, who flirt with this condi tion is wonderful, but their Judge ment would not do to describe for publication. Lot the cry be, "cut the acreage and cut It deep." Coriv can be planted as late as July 1st, and the farmer will bo a great deal better off. If he raises less cotton and more corn, for In the end he will get as much for a small crop as he would if lie raised a large one, and have all his corn clear. J. G. Anderson, Originator "Rock Hill Plan." MAINE DEAD BUI* I ED. Iloniaing of Sixty-Seven Sailors l>aid to Ilcst Ait Arlliif^bn. Washington, March 23. ? Under dripping skies the last of the he roes of the battleship Maine were laid to rest today In tho nation's sacred spot, Arlington cemetery. Thirty-four caskets were interr ed. These, however, contained the bones of G7 victims of the explos ion 14 years ago in Habana har bor, the identity of whom could not be discovered. The capitol of the nation today shed all worldly care and work and joined in honoring their memory. President Taft and his cabinet, both houses of congress and all (he other officials of tho govern ment set aside the day as one In which to do homage to tho deadO. Although the rain began to fall in the afternoon, President Taft and j his entourage made their way to the cemetery and remained bare | headed, in the downpour until the last coffin had been lowered.
