The average ^ wages of m^ile farm labor per mouth by the year with board in South Carolina is reported at $21. fK), and without board ?{0t the average wage per day for other than harvest work with board being $l?lft and without board $1.45. . Attention in called to the fact that these ligures rej> resent money wages and when board is furnished it is tho custom to include not only rations but living quarters, fuel and two or more acres of land free of rent, the same being fertilized, cultivated and harvested in the same manner as that worked for the landloiH^ The estimated number of sows in the state for breeding purposes is fl per. cent more than last year. The condition of wheat and rye is ex rellent, both being reported at SKI per cent of normal, the ten-year average for wheat on April 1. being 87 per cent and rve per cent. 1 ? <j ?

TRANSATIjANTIC aik voyaok Uy II. II, Wlndsorf in the May Popular .Mechanics Magazine. Even before this page can bo printed j and reach its readers, there is a chAnc* that the. first transatlantic air voyage will ^lutve been made, France was the first to announce an attempt, .which unfortu nately had to be deferred, owing to a cracked, cylinder. England is working desperately to get an airship ready, and it is understood our own War Depart ment has h<*pes also of being they first across. It is to be hoped the feverish anxiety, though quite natural and com mendable. will not loud either of the contestants to Yvnwy^ako the trial until every possible effort has been made to insure Kuccpss. There are dare-devil "airnats" in plenty, ready to make the attempt even in the face of a minimum of chance of success, but let us hope that success is guaranteed in advance, so far as such a thing in possibly. Crossing the Atlantic in a plane today really seems less of an undertaking than crossing tin* English Chaunel jclid at the time Itleriot did it for the first time. There i* u great difference hi the two flights. however, even after allowing for the improvement in air craft since that day. ' As the birthplace of the aeroplane, it would be most gratifying to Americaus to have the honor of the first flight, which will be an epoch in history de serving a, place alongside the first loco motive and steamship. Our conduct of aeroplane afTairs, however. ever since Wilbur Wright made his first flight, does not warrant any great expectations. .We hope to win. but shall "be very proud of the Frenchman or Englishman who carries off the honors. There is doubtless no other one thing ?of u commercial nature which seems to combine so many unknown possibilities for good and cvji as the trans-ocean air plane. With its accomplishment, which apparently is assured, we become the next-dooi; neighbors of the other nations of the world, with the same liability of interference. The oceans, once our con fident bulwark from attack, no longer protect ; and when the air becomes an international thoroughfare. ? can no longer hold back, we can only defend. With the air definitely conquered the world b?>cnmcs practically a city block ; and with so >:reat a decrease in immunity let us hope tor a ?*orresponding hesi tancy to start a conflict. The theories as to air currents aud atmospheric eonditimi*. favorable and otherwise, which the first flight will re veal. are many ?<nd conflicting The pro bability, however, i* thai the voyage will show Ies? difficulty from these sources than expected, and will more likely be reduced chiefly t?. engine performance, which like other mechanical details, is capable of correction and improvement. And so the next few months will bring events of as thrilling interest ns any bat tle of the war. and likewise fraught with possibilities i),, Jew portentous nnd mo mentrne*. Governor Cooper's Staff.
