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. ? Columbia Record.

Colored Evidence.
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.
The Pace.
The rhinoceros surveyed the world
complacently. "After all, I set the
pace in a manner of speaking,"
quoth he.
Whereat the other beasts burst out
laughing.
"Well, it's a fact," the rhinoceros in
sisted. "Tell me, p!eas$, where would
civilization be if it were not for men
with hides like mine?"? Boston Jour

Robins Here.
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

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

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
