The formation of a dWtrlt<t alms house .with the Hlchland 'almshouse an Its uueleUH In recommended i'u a re port oh the Inspection ?.f the Rich land lust It nt Ion by Mr. Gllphuut, the assistant secretary of the stale hoard ?f vharlttes ami .corrections, which has Just been given out for publication. The hoard decided at Its Inst meeting to urge the counties t<> unite to f ? > r 1 ? s and sUi?iH>rt almshouse^ In which t > care for their paujHMs. Instead of fol lowing the present plan of each con ? ty to maintain Its own almshouse. The annual, report of the board shows that, as a rule, the almshouses of the state with1 large populations tore better cared for than those in which there areonly a few paui>ers. From an economic standpoint, it would ippear, too, that the cost of mainte nance and the overhead charges for salaries and medical attention would decrease somewhat as the population of the almshouse Increased. In the report of the assistant seere: tary of the hoard of charities and cor rections on the Hlchland county alms house InsjH'ctlon It Is suggested that the district almshouse should he prob ably formed by Richland, Kershaw, Fairfield, Lexington, and Calhoun counties. On September .'H>, 1915, the annual report of the board shows that the population of the almshouses in four of these counties totaled 55, dis tributed as follows: Fairfield, 5; Kef slnnv, 3; Ix?xlngton, 11; Hlchland, 30. Calhoun lias no almshouse, but gives Um pauiH*rs outside aid. a method which is open to serious abuse. When the district almshouse Is formed, the report on the inspection of the Richland almshouse recom mends that new houses be built for the white paui>ers and for the employed force, a septic tank sewerage system 'nstalled and more farm land bought U Is contemplated, of course, that all ? he .counties in the proposed dlstrlc' diould share proportionately the ex ?K'nse of making these Improvements is well as the expense of running thj institution. ?

A well known lawyer was trying to make clear to a legal student tho slg nifleance of the term "colored4 ?v'* dence," meaning that evidence which has been tampered with. "The beet Illustration I can think of camo within my observation not long ago," snhl the lawyer. "A physician had said to a fair patient: " 'Madam, you are a little run down. Yon need frequent baths and plenty of fresh air. and I advise you to dress in' the coolest, most comfortable clothes; nothing stiff or formal.' "When the lady got homo this is how she rendered to her husband the ad vice given to her by the doctor: " 'lie says I must go to the. seashore, do plenty of motoring and get some new summer gowns.' " ? New York Times. Obsolete Trad* Names. Some obsolete names of trades sur vive as surnames ? e. g., Webster. Lister, Walker. In the fourteenth cen tury the weaver was known as "the webster," the dyer was "the lyster" and the workman who trod the cloth In the dye vat was " the walker." The arkwright made the arks or chests In which clothes or meal were stored, and the smith was frequently dubbed "the faber." this later t>elng one of the rare cases In which the Latin translation of a craft has become a common surname. When the cotteler had forged an edged tool the blomer finished it off or put the bloom on; the chapman traveled with goods from door to door and the coke baked cakes and sold them. ? London Tatler.

For the first time this season largo droves of robins have been seen In Camden feeding on evergreen ber ries. We reproduce the following from a Malone, (N. Y. ) paj>er pub lished in the northern part of New York state: "A Mnlone resident states that this morning he saw a pair of robins perched upon an apple tree near his residence. The birds apjioared to be in no way disturbed by the snow storm and were chirping merrily, as if in defiance of it. Reports have been frequeut during the past few weeks regarding the prosence of rob ins in Malone ami tlcinity and it is probable that a few of our red-breast ed friends have remained here th red out the winter, finding comparative warmth and shelter in some barn or other building to which they gained access. It is seldom that robins act ually come from their winter homes in the south at so early a date in March as the present." One day not long ago London Craig was gathering a few robins for a pie when be noticed an aluminum band on tbe leg of one of the birds. This band bore the number 32306 and the words "Notify American Museum, N. Y. City." When tb* history of ,tbli particular bird can be learned from tbe American Museum, it will doubt 1 em make Interesting reading. ? Ches terfield Advertiser. Cotton Wilt or Black Root. The following treatise on cotton % i It or black root is from "Southern [ Meld Crops"- by John Frederick Dug 'ar, director of the Alabama agricul ural experiment station and professor f agriculture In the Alabama Poly echnle Institute, and published by the dacmillan Company: "This disease shows itself at any ime after the cotton plants are about '? inches high. It is most prevalent ind destructive while they are loaded vitli blooms and bolls. Some of the liseased plants suddenly wilt, and hese may die in a few days. Wilting s first shown by the young and ten ter leaves nt the top of the plant. ?ther diseased plants show a dwarfed, healthy -appearance, and may drop their leavQs and die, or tliey may con tinue to live in an unthrifty condition. Cotton wilt is caused by a fungus growth, which enters the plant from the soil through the roots. This fun dus, or parasitic plant, consists large ly of threads, which stop up the water hearing ducts in the roots and stems. The .wilting of the leaves is due to the cutting off of their water supply by the plugging up of these ducts with the threads of the* fungus. Cotton wilt may readily be detect ed by cutting through the main root or stem ; the layer just under the bark is blackened, and throughout the sterrf the cut ends of the stopped-up water ?nrrvinf duets H^pcur mi f.mal! dark lots. I C/Otfam wilt occurs chiefly, In the san ly soils of the southern half of the ?of ton belt. This disease first appears I in small spots In the field. It Ms ex tremely important for the farmer to recognize cotton wilt when it first ap pears and while It is confined to these TUB DKMAlitMil'K.
