Comparative Statement is Announced by Federal Census Bureau. i Washington, June 29.?Acting Census Director Falkner issued today the first official statement from the census bureau relative to the agricultural statistics of the State of South Carolina collected at the thirteenth decennial United States census, April 15. It is based on a] preliminary comparative summary submitted by Dr. Le Grand Powers, chief statistician of the division of agriculture in the bureau of the census. This summary shows, for both the census of 1910 and that of 1900, the reported total value of farm land, buildings, and implements and machinery; total acreage; improved| acreage; average acres per farm; average value per acre of farm land and buildings; average value per acre of fcv*. * farm land alone; and the aggregate gpp , expenditure far labor and fertilizers. It also distributes the total number of farms according to color of farmer; specified character of tenure; whether held free or mortgaged by owners; and by certain acreage groups. The census of agriculture was taken primarily for the purpose of obtaining an accurate inventory of all classes of farm property existing on April 15, 1910; a complete exhibit of farm operations during the year ended December 31, 1909; and a statement of the number and value of domestic animals in cities and villages on April 15, 1910. Kv. Rates of Increase and Decrease. It is pointed out in the statement to-day that the principal irates of increase in South Carolina in 1910, as against 1900, among the items for ?t-i-i. awa <vitrAT> in tilo wuxuii pcxuciiuagcTa cti ^ g,i?cu iu first section of the summary, are: In the total expenditure for fertilizers, 237 per cent; in the average value per acre of farm land alone, 179 per cent; in the average value per acre of farm land and buildings, 172 per cent; in the total value of all farm land alone, 169 per cent; in the total value of farm land and buildings, 162 per cent; in the total value of farm buildings, 137 per cent; in the total value of all farm implements and machinery, 112 per cent; in the total expenditure for labor, 76 per cent; in the whole number of farms, 13 per cent; and in the total improved farm acreage, 5 per cent.

In 1910 the value of the farm land alone constituted 81 per cent of the total value of the land and buildings, as compared with 79 per cent in 1900. The reported value of farm implements and machinery was $14,067,000 in 1910, as against $6,630,000 in 1900, a gain of $7,437,000, or 112 per cent. The total acreage reported in 1910 was 13,469,000 acres, as compared' with 13,985,000 in 1900, a decrease of 516,00.0 acres, or 4 per cent. An error of 100,000 acres was found in the total acreage reported for Spartanburg county for 1900, so that the real decrease for the State was 416,000 acres, or 3 per cent. About 350,000 acres of this decrease is found in the coast counties. In 1900 this land was reported to be in farms, although as a.matter of fact, it was woodland and other unimproved land not used for farm purposes. This land was not reported as in farms in 1910. The improved acreage was returned in 1910 as amounting to 6,085,000 acres, as against 5,776,000 in 1900, an increase of -309,000, or 5 per cent. The improved acreage formed 45 per cent of the total acreage of 1910 and 41 per cent in 1900. The average acreage per farm reported in 1910 was 76, as against 90 in 1900, a decrease of 14 acres, or 16 per cent.

Kirk Property in Aiken is Being Overhauled. Aiken, June 29.?Dr. T. G. Croft, who has in charge the old Kirk property in this city, is having the place cleaned and renovated. Some days ago the city authorities thoroughly disinfected the house and premises where Mrs. Kirk, who suffered for years with leprosy contracted in South America, lived and died. j It is not known what disposition is to be made of the house, but it is practically certain that it will not be burned, as has been advocated by the board of health, and which matter is now in the courts. n ?1-* 0 jfm i % p ^?I?^ ^ & * n is we conld - n't I r< k sour face and then n > ?

MICHAEL'S. Famous Church is Set on Fire by v Lightning. The most widely known building in South Carolina and one of the most famous in.the entire South had a narrow escape from destruction afternoon when St. Micha el's church, at the corner of Broad and Meeting streets, was struck by lightning at about 3:30 o'clock and set on fire. But for the fact that the sexton, Mr. C. N. Beesley, was in the church at the time and detected the flames within a few seconds after they had broken out in the organ loft, it is probable that the ?church would have been destroyed or at least badly damaged. Had the thunder storm, in the course of which the church was struck, taken place at night, the chances are that the fire would have gained too great headway tQ be successfully fought. As it was, the nromDt action of Mr. Beesley in turning in the alarm and the quick work of the firemen after they had arrived on the scene, confined the blaze to the floor beneath the choir loft. Mr. Beesley stated yesterday afternoon that the damage was nominal. . Sexton Turns in Alarm. Mr. Beesley was in the vestibule with a lady and gentleman who had come in to see the famous church when the loud clap of thunder that startled the entire city at about 3.30 o'clock came. The squall had been raging fo$ some time and there had been considerable wind, rain and electrical disturbance. When the loudest clap came Mr. Beesley felt a shock, but did not at once realize that the church had been struck. A few seconds afterwards, however, he looked up and saw the smoke, the flames being in the flooring of the choir stand immediately in front of the organ. The sexton at once sent a man to the fire box across the ' street and turned in an alarm. Flooring Ripped Up. Thfl -orirps leading to fire headquar ters had been put out of commission by the same lightning bolt, but four engines, the automobile engine, the chemical engine and two steamers, 1 and the aerial truck arrived prompt- ' ly. The flooring of the choir loft was ripped up and the flames imme- : diately subdued. The incident attracted a large crowd in sjjite of the 1 rain, and many expressions of relief were heard when it was seen that , ' />: > I ' r:i?" .Vv* t-l f 1 11 ill I I ( 3 plied. ^ I e - plied. | .

W Negro Enters the Door and ^ Goes Through His Heart. 1 Fort Worth, Texas, July 1.?While alone in her hoifce with her four-year- M old baby at midnight last night, Mrs. fl E. T. Goodwin heard a negro tearing1 away the fastening on ? rear screen. She waited until he opened the door into her room, then fired twice, ing him with a bullet through the I heart.. The police and business men I have started a subscription to give fl Mrs. Goodwin a medal for bravery. ; fhe blaze had been quenched and th# historic edifice stood practically un- damaged. New Organ Undamaged.' Either the lightning struck the tallsteeple of the church and ran down 4 * the lightning rod or else the bolt, entered the church by means of ? ' ^ wire and was communicated to the ^ lightning rod. Thence it passed along a gas pipe, bursting the pipe, passed under the organ and set fire to the flooring in front of the instrument. 4 It is thought that the ignition of gas J escaping from the pipe started the , J blaze. The current in the church had w| - i ^ ?$S been turned off and -was in nowise responsible for the accident So far mm as could be learned yesterday," the M damage was confined to the flooring. -/J of the choir loft It is believed thai 3 neither the steeple nor the splendid i new organ recently installed in the B church was damaged.
