"Ultf Springs." twenty miles north of Cum dan, in Kershaw county, an Motoric spot, owned by the white race for t ho last century and a half, and known to the prlmo/tlve Indian from tl.moH immemorial for itn inatv velous curative qualities, is now about to be exploited on an exten sive BCttloi Heveral hundred acres of land ' have been acquired around the Springs and a fine hotel will bo fftCttid in the near future. Mr. K v. Richards, an architect, wan over the property early thin week, and in preparing plan# for name. The property Is situated on each aide of Lyuchee river, the springs proper ou the Kershaw side, and few peo ple have any Idea of the natural 1 beauty of the place. Towering above the river some hundred foot are precipitous bluffs ? -the walls of ragged rock, around the brink and in tho clefts are beautiful masses of mountain laurel Just now In full bloom. In fact, one might well fan cy themaeiveS*in some mountain glen in the Western C.arollnas. The ridges and Hides of these hills are covered with a fine growth of original long loaf pine, adding a touch of dignity and forming groves for ahudy walks, winding among these groves, and around these hills are being laid off and constructed nilles of roadway, foot and bridle paths. Upon tho crest of the hill overlooking the spring is tho pro posed site of tho hotel. Running from the hotel is a broad avenue where will be constructed beautiful cottages and more pretentious hoims all of which will be under highly restricted conditions for the best sanitary effect and the preservation of the natural beauties of the grounds as a whole. These grounds will bo under cafre of a compe tent landscape architect. There will bo a water supply di rect from .the spring to the hotel ho that baths, etc., may be taken there as well as at the springs- baths which will be put in thoro order. The springs maintain a flow of 300 gallons per minute, and have so far not been successfully bottled. Mr. l'rosser, the agricultural and development agent of the Seaboard is taking steps to get the company establish a stop at the bridge cross ing the river. From there an auto ^ road of about one and a half miles will reach the hotel and an auto bus for one source, a naptha launch op erating down the river to a special landing will form, tho second con nection. The Miami-Quebec auto highway will also pass direfctly thru -the pro perty. The towns Of Bethuno and McBee are within three and six miles respectively. There will be sonic $50,000 expended on this Property and it will give South Car olina a resort, convenient, of access and unsurpassed by any In tho Sotith. Freak Chickens. Mr. J. E. Hough, who resides at the Hermitage Cotton Mill village, was telling a Chronicle man a few days ago of a brood of chicks ho ^ recently hud hatched out. The hen was set upon fifteen eggs and six-. " teen chicks were hatched. Two bid - dies coming from one egg ? one of which is still living ? though smaller : than the rest of the brood. In the same brood was a freak chicken - which had four perfectly formed legs. The chick however died, hav ing been mashed while in tho shell. With tho exception of the two that died tho others bid fair to mako fine chickens. Mr. Brooks to IiCftve. Mr. F. R. Brooks, who has* had charge of the freight and passenger business of the Seaboard railway in this city for the past several years, leaves this week to take charge of the South Carolina v Western rail way station at Hartsvllle. During Mr. Brooks residence In Caniden ho has giYmi perfect satisfaction to the Seaboard's many patrons here, aad it is with regret that they see him and his wifo leave here. It Is not yet known who will succeed Mr. Rrooks at this placo. Beaver Dam School Mooting. Tho trustees of the Boaver Dam School .ire arranging to have an In teresting meeting on Wednesday, May nth.

Hagood, April 3 0. ? Miss Allan El terbe died at her homo at Hagood, 4 o'clock Wednesday morning, af Cr ft lingering Illness. She was a Wnroan of high Christian character n(Vt>,i for her benevolence. In "er dt'ath the poor and suffering ground hrr have lost a good friend. "e a daughter of the late W. ? S. Kherbo and leaves threo sisters - *n(l four brothers and a large fam 1? connection to mourn her death. ?v f,1"*>ral services took place at Church of tho Ascension Thurs mornl?K at 1 1 o'clock and her . **7 *aa Interred In tho family : / ItOAHH llVJIiT IN YKAIt. lto|M>rt HIiown OtMiHlrucdon of lligli wuy? lla.s Mario llupiri That 10,000 miles c* f good roads wore built in tho U ill tod States last year und that thoro are at present more than $400,^00,000 of good roads bonds outstanding is shown ?y the good roada year book of the United States, which Iiuh Just boon iss n <3(1. The book hIio'wh that what" over may be tho faults of the roads being built, the , total amount of really good roads which have boon built In l 1 2 Ih remarkable. The statements in the year book are based on roporta from 7 5 per CiUit. of the counties in tho United States, which hIiow most gratifying results in regard to tho road quos tlon. Tho realisation of tho uooess ity of having gOod roada has gone all over tho United States, and coun* tioa, towiiH and states aro going at the matter seriously. Although the good roads, idea has been gathering force and headway for many veara, its advocator aro still pulling in many directions. Some road associations want state highways without national aid. Still others want good roads paid for by the countries through which they passj without any aid. One, at least, -believes firmly that tho ques tion is not only one for states, coun ties, cities, and towns, but for tho nation. The National Highway As sociation believes that tlio begin ning of a ubmprehenslve good roads system for the nation must ho made by the federal government. It is universal experience that one mile of good roads breeds a nother mile. Put a state wide, good road down anywhere in this country, say tho advocates of this plan, and in ten years. there will be dozens of good roads reaching It from Jill parts of tho stato. Put down a system of national highways OUilt and maintained by by the na tional government, and the various state legislatures and county offi cials would soon soo the advantages of connecting all parts of the states with those national roads. The state of Washington, which is now authorized to spend sever al million dollars during two years for tho purpose of building up t system of good roads, Is setting a good example for other states, it has eenb decidcd that tho money will, bo expended wisely and that the roads will be real roads. K normoussums of money have been throw ti away in road construction and maintenance in nearly all states An attempt to make good fronds on the plan of "patch upon patch and a holo In tho middle" merely means that money Is thrown away. It is getting pretty late tb "talk" good roads, now that the frost is out of the ground. Actual, practi cal demonstration can be put into execution. The best time to talk good roads is when there is noth ing else to do, for- building them is far more important. P<?ar And Apple Itlight. Can you glvo nio a remedy for blight in pear and apple trees? Ther6 is no remedy or preventive known. The only thing to do Ib to cut out the blighted wood into sound wood and burn it. The bac-terie that cause the fire blight got entrance on the feet, of bees and o.her insccts at the blossoms and they grew downward in the cam bium layer and choke the growth. If you watch the trees closely in the early summer, you can detect the first start of the blight by the shriveling of the young /bark on tin shoots beforo the leaves turn dead, and if you then cut out ahead of it you can save the limb. But ster ilize the knife blade at every cut bj dipping it in a weak solution of carbolio acid to prevent carrying the infection. Progressive Far mer. Fire at Groat Falls. The large hotel at Great Falls, belonging to the Southern Power Co., and managed by H. A. Tibbs, was entirely destroyed by fire last Wednesday morning. Practically all the furniture was lost. The build ing was a large wooden structure, and was valued at $4,6 00. The origin of the firo is unknown, ex cept that it started in the attic of the building. Robinson Young, who was sleeping on the third floor, bare ly escaped with his life. He ran down to the second floor and jump ed out just before the building fell in. Other nearby buildings would have been destroyed had not the , Re public cotton mills,' nearby, closed down for the time and the mill force formed Into a bucket brigade to fight tho flames. Mrs. Orossland I>end. Mrs. Francis Crossland, widow of tho latte J. D. Crossland. who died about four years ago, died last Mon day at her homo in West Wateree.

For many yours wo huvo told our readers of I ho grout work that the iuo\ i|?g pictures are destined to do In tho world. Young nii*n und old man Hhould think of tho moving picture und its posslbilii it h. Grout pluys will i>o wi'iuou for tho moving picture. IS rout in: ton* und uctrcsHes will bo developed , hy tho moving picture, which domuuds und reproduces tho expression und tho emotion thru action. 'i ho old Greek development of thut which it* bountiful in tho hu man body, in human omoiflon und in human form, will bo developed on u higher settle thun ovur by mov ing pictui'OB and their duinundu up on the acu>r. Tho moving picture will make knowledge which bus boon puinfully aosorbed a pleasure and a delight to children. The scnool board In tho town of Norwood, in this state, has purchas od a moving p^turo machine for -no Everett school. The great state of Wisconsin, foremost in educutioQ, now usea tho moving picture machine as a reg lar part of the public school system. Hoforo long every little * country school house will have its moving picture machine, ami tho pictures will teach the children pleasantly In one hour more than they could bo taught in a week or a month "against tho gratto." Tho IIvoh of great men will be made familiar. to children in mov ing pictures before thoy shall have reacned tho age of ten. Little boys and girls will have In their minds tho great events of the llfo of L*fh coln, from his cabin with one win dow to his death in the theater ? all impressed upon them In moving i pictures. Tho great battles of tho world, j tho great naval conflicts ? ? all of these can bo reproduced, and will bo reproduced and presented in moving pictures for tho education and deiight of millions upon mil lions. Scionco and astronomy will bo taught In moving pictures, minds that are dull will bo awakened by moving pictures? for the great ob ject of the educator is to awaken the imagination. How many men realize that the i moving picture, among other things, will diminish the oxceBBivo use of alcohol ? Men set fire to their brains with whiskey because they want excito mont, they want tho brain to work. If they cannot have real imagina tion they want false Imagination. The false stimulant that alcohol gives to the brain the moving pic ture with motion, color, plot and excitement will supply legitimately. It is a fact that the class of sa loons that formerly appealed to tho young - ? and rulhed them ? the drinking places dealing In poison ous drinks now find their attendant^ diminishing and their attendance falling off, thanks to the moving pictures. Men that are engaged in manu faciur ng moving picture machines aro distinctly educators. They are doing for knowledge a work as Im portant as that which was done by the Inventor and tho manufacturer. Tho whole task of tho human race is to get iiito the minds of the young and of tho old the know ledge accumulated by those that gone before. The moving picture machine will do this as no other power could do it. This wo have long appreciated. While those lgnorantly opposing what 's new opposed the moving picture, refused to see its power and tr.ed to belittle its value, one of the editorials on moving pictures published by the Hearst newspapers bears tho heading: "The Power of' Moving Pictures; They will Educate Through the Eye, Hundreds of Mil- I lions of Children." Tho right use of tho moving pic- ' Ituro will do for the education of j children Infinitely more oven than J has ever boon done by printed books Wo toll men whose minds aro on the moving picture Industry, wheth- j er as actors, writers of moving pic- j ture plays or manufacturers of ma chines, that their work is only be ginning. Every day oight millions of hu man beings attend the moving pfc tures in the United States now. That number will be increased soon by tho total number of public school children and of private school chil dren also In the United States. It will be tho business of this newspaper to encourage tho useful, educating moving picture work., to givo It editorial endorsement as we have always done, and by constant special attention at tho .hands of experts to secure for it the place that It deserves In tho public esti mation, as an education, an amuse ment and a natural, legitimate and wholesome stimulant to the brain of tho human race. For ages men and tho animals before them received Impressions thru the eye. They toll more to I the brain In a second than any [ man's tongue or book can tell In an i hour. The moving picture tells its story .direct to the eye. It is tho great and direct educator. Hoards of education should use It; municipalities. Instead of ham mering It, should encourage It. S:rong consorship Bhould discour age that which is harmful; strict su pervision should make moving pic ture resorts safe ? but no harrasslng rest riot Ions.

It iu not a question of how much corn wo make per acre, but how much it coat per buahel. There ia no sense in making corn, and tit tho sumo timo buying it too. Too many farmers are trying to produce large crops and not consldeing the! coat. My plan in to make all the corn I need for farm purposes, at tho very least possible cost, and thou all -the cotton T can. The Southern farmer who raises corn for a money crop ia aa foolish, to hla own InterestB, as tho'' man whose corn crop is out west. I have planted a large farm for the past 21 years, and while I plant only about a third of my farm in grain, I have never bought a grain of Corn or a blade of hay, and yet riiake largo fcotton crops. < I find it more profitable to use a liberal amount of fertiliser to co. ton, raise a bale per acre, and then produce from 3 0 to 4 0 bushels of corn per acre tho next year, than to fertilize the corn highly, take chances of rain to make a good crop and hope to Improve the land for cotton at the expense of making the corn coBt too much per bushel. Two. yeara ago I made 3,000 bushela of corn on 7 5 acres", without any fertilizer, when some corri In my section with from GOO to 1,000 lbs of fertilizer per acre did not make over 15 bushels per acre, for it was a dry season. ? B. M. Hudson, in Southern F'arming. The Grumbler. "A certain large employer of men in Cincinatti has an invarlitblo rule with which he tries out overy young man or new man ho hires. 'Hie teat Is for grumbling, and it in a sure one. After the new man has become acclimated in his new sphere, the employer /rushes in one night just before closing hour and asks the new man If ho would bo ; willing to help him out that night. It is not absolutely necessary that ho should, but he must have some one, the employer explains, That is the chance for the grumbler there is his loophole. 'Why should I bo the man?' he grumbles to him self. 'Why not some one elso? 1 do too much anyway. It's an imposi tion.' If he suggests that he would rather have some one else do tho work, tho employer watches him carefully ever afterward. If ho is willing to stay, the employer tells him. to and then comes around later and tells him that ho haw changed his mind and won't need him. It's a test, and a sure test. It weeds out the grumblers from tho worker# and It has been this man's exper ience that a grumbler can work better at grumbling than anything else. "No ? you can't afford to hire a grumbler. Rut most of all ? you can't afford to bo a grumbler your self. "The grumbler is his own stumb ling block. Ho builds up a habit that ho would hate in another man. Ho grumbles because all men are not grumblers. Oh, ho is a sorry thing! "Why not quit grumbling? "Because it's Worth While! "Take any grumbler's word for it. that they are never successful." ?
