, S. C. SHOWS LARfiE OAIN MAKES GOOD ADVANCE IN MANUFACTURES. Increase of Capital Nearly $30,000,000, or 17 Per Cent. Added to In? vestment Within Five Years. Washington, March 25.?A gain or almost $30,000,000 or 17 per cent, of capital invested in the State in 1914 over 1909 is indicated by figures of the United States census bureau made public here today when statistics for ^ South Carolina were shown. The population of South Carolina Jgf - at the census of 1910 was 1,515,400 and it is estimated that it was 1,590,000 on July 1, 1914. The summary shows consider? able increase at the census of 1914, i % \ ! V as compared with that for 1909. In the order of their importance, from a j percentage standpoint, the increases for the several items rank as fol>7 - lows: Materials, 37.2 per cent.; primary horsepower, 23.1 per cent.; value of products, 22.7 per cent.; salaried employes, 21.7 per cent. Vr The capital invested, as reported In 1914, was $203,211,000, a gain of $29,990,000, or 17.3 per cent, over - $173,331,000 in 1909. The value of products was $138,891,000 in 1914 and $113,236,000 in 1909, the increase being $25,655,000, ' rr,'! nap or 22.7 per ceni. me aveia^o establishment was approximately >> ^ $74,000 in 1914 and $61,000 in 1909. The value of products represents their selling value or price at the plants as actually turned out by .the factories during the census year and does not necessarily have any relation to the amount of sales for that I, year. The values under this head also include amounts received for work done on materials furnished by others. |K The salaries and wages amounted to $29,052,000 in 1914 and to $24,B 117,000 in 1909, the increase being I ,$4,935,000 or 20.5 per cent. [ The number of salaried employes f was 71,914 in 1914 and 73,046 in 1909, the decrease being 1,132, or > -1.5 per cent. i . FOOD FOR GERMANY. C jr'. , ) Boumania to Supply Austrians and i > .

The Bucharest correspondent of the Secola, a newspaper of Milan, Plfc ' Italy, says that the second contract slS'. for 100,000 carloads of corn, oats barley and other cereals has been settled between the Austro-German : syndicate and Roumania and that it only remains to arrange the method T+ ?o coirl fhat the* Alls Vt j.'AJ iUCllla A t to 0U1U VUMV MMW :< tro-Germans have agreed to deposit |\ half the sum involved in the National Bank of Bucharest.

One night recently while travel/ ing through New York he was obliged to stop at a suburban hotel and after much tossing about he finally succeeded in getting into a sound sleep. In answer to loud, repeated knocks on his door, he nervously sat bolt upright in bed. "What's wanted?" he grumbled. "Package down stairs for you, ^ sir." W "Well, let it stay There; it can L- wait till morning, I suppose." I The boy shuffled down the corri' dor and after a long time the guest fell into a sound sleep again. Then another knock came at the door. "Wei, what's up now?" queried Mr. Whaley, " 'Tain't for you, that package." ?Pittsburg Post. ^ , ' \ .' HBBKl: ?. - . ~ . - -' * * ? ' ENLISTMENT IN IRELAND. Farmers of Auld Sod Are Not Eagei to Go to War. Irish recruiting is proceeding ir accordance with the expectations 01 the military authorities, according t( a Dublin, Ireland, dispatch. It receiv ed a great fillip from the visit to Gal way of the lord lieutenant and Johr Redmond. The scenes in the Galwaj streets exceeded in the number of th< crowds and the enthusiasm of the welcome previously experienced ir the same city at purely nationalisl demonstrations. The main difficulty about Irish recruiting is the reluctance of the farmers to enlist. The trouble was alsc found in England and indeed in all countries the man on the farm is the most reluctant fighter. There has been a good deal of argument in Ireland as to the respective contributions of unionists and nationalists and some bandying of criticisms ir the party newspapers of each side But the r^al line of distinction is between town and country. In all parts of Ireland the townmen have joined in large numbers in proportion to the population. In no part of Ireland have the farmers done anything like so well. Lord Wimborne noted that at least twenty Irish towns claim to be at the top of the list in the proportion ol men recruiting and that Ballina challenges Belfast. In some small towns | the average has been higher than in j England. Mr. Redmond did not ! mince his words in his appeal to the farmers to come forward. He believ| ed that they would have most to lose i from a defeat in the war, and he told them that if they would not fight for i their land and let the townsmen do the fighting for them their position was contemptible. There has been much improvement in the way ol approaching the people with recruiting appeals and so far the result has been admittedly satisfactory. But eleven hundred men a week at least are wanted and the effect to keep up the supply will be steadily maintained. Teachers' Cottages. ' Teachers' cottages, erected by the community in or near the school house, and used not only as the teachrocirionfo hiit ?lsn as the com U1 o 1 bOlUVUVV wuv munity centre, are advocated in a bulletin prepared by R. S. Kellogg and distributed by the department of the interior through its bureau of education to county superintendents and other officers in charge of rural schools. The bulletin describes the movement for teachers' residences in -rural districts and gives plans for cottages of various sizes and types. Lack of suitable boarding, accommodations is one of the most serious difficulties in the way of securing suitable teachers for country schools, the bulletin declares. There are more than 200,000 rural school districts in the United States and over 16,000,000 children of school age who live in the country or in towns of less than 2,500 population, yet it is impossible because of the living conditions to get teachers of the highest type to remain in the country. Mr. Kellogg says: "Many farm houses have no accommodations whatever for a teacher, and often kitchen, living room, and dining room are combined in one, with nc heat in any other room in the house. The farmer and his family have tc spend most of their time working indoors or out, eating and sleeping. Their occupations and hours of labor in no way correspond to those of the teacher, which increases the difficulty of fitting the teacher's necessary habits to those of the farmer with any satisfaction to either. A good teacher must spent a considerable amount of time almost every evening upon school work, for which a quiet comfortable room is essential. If she insists upon such a room when she goes to board in the country she is likely to be considered "stuck-up' and exclusive. If she gets a room by herself it is often unheated and toe uncomfortable for study in cold ; weatner. I "On the other hand, if the teachei is forced to spend her entire time in the living room with the rest of the family, she has no opportunity tc prepare properly for her school duties, and is also very likely to be drawn unavoidably into neighborhood gossip and factional disputes to the detriment of her teaching influences. Many of the better situated families in the country districts who have the facilities, do not care to take'a steady boarder, so that if a teacher gets a place to board at all she may be forced to go to farm houses, where only the barest accommodations can be secured." It is because of these conditions that the teachers' cottage movemenl has developed rapidly in the past few vears. until, according to an investi * - ~ ? V,. T /~i Aliiormon nf t V) 0 till UV J , V,. .iiuci iiiuu, vi n*v ? <-? reau of education, recorded in the bulletin, there are now one or more teachers' cotteges in every State, and in the State of Washington, where the movement has been fostered bj BAROX ASTOR OF HEVER CASTLE r American Owns Mediaeval English Estate of Boleyns. In choosing the title by which Wil1 j liam Waldorf Astor is to forever pass p ! into the pages of "Burke's Peerage,' * the new peer has given a complete demonstration of the snobbishness which has actuated him since he dis1; dainfully cut himself off from every7! thing American?except his Ameri J ' can dollars. The new baron is to be ' known as "Baron Astor, of Hever Lj Castle." It is customary for Engiish^ men raised to the peerage to take their titles from some piece of the land which they own. Baron Astor of Hever, would apparently not have * been sufficiently gaudy, so it is to be ' "Baron Astor, of Hever Castle," and ' by inference its moat and draw- | > bridge. . Hever castle is one of the few remaining mediaeval structures in Eng' land that has a working moat and 1 drawbridge. The latter is raised , against the world save by special permission of the owner. It is an in| teresting relic, which, when Baron Astor, of Hever castle bought it, was ' restored with fidelity and magnificence. On one of the stones of the i gi^at gate is carved: : "Jesus Christ he came to Hever J And they pitched him in the Reever." t . < Mr. Astor bought Hever castle in j 1903 for $185,000. It is situated in L a most picturesque part of Kent, not far* frnm Ponhnrct and Tn n hri d 1U1 li Vlii Jk ^1A ** Ui WV VWUVA A MM V* v } Wells. It is not large, but architec- , . turally and historically it is one of j > the famous among the stately homes [ of England. The castle is a very curi- * I ous specimen of the domestic fortress ,: and was erected by William de Hever, L| a Norman baron, who, under Edward LI III (1327-1369) obtained royal per mission to fortify his manor house. . His two daughters and coheiresses i j conveyed it in marriage to the fami; i lies of Cobham and Brocas. The former acquired the whole by purchase i and afterward sold the estate to Sir . Geoffrey Boleyn, a wealthy merchant ! of London, lord mayor of that city in the time of Henry VI, and great- j grandfather of the ill-fated Anne j Boleyn, who lived at Hever until the i time of her marriage to that merry, | . marrying monarch, Bluff King Hal. Henry VIII, on the death of Sir . Thomas Boleyn, Knight of the Garter, , , Earl of Wiltshire and Ormond and ; father of Anne Boleyn, seized the es: tate in right of his own wife, and af( terward enlarged it by purchases \ from others of the Boleyn family. t The next possessor 01 me estate wasi j i Lady Anne, of Cleves, and in the I l reign of Queen Mary the castle was I sold to Sir Edward Waldegrave; chamberlain to the queen's house- *] hold. From his family the estate ; passed to the Humphreys and finally J ; to the Malleys, a Sussex family. The castle, as it exists now, is a J \ mass of buildings with buttresses, square towers, embrasures and ? square-headed windows. The great i dining room, now used as a kitchen, g ? contains some of the furniture which ; was there in the time of the Boleyns, ; but the room which is most popular is that known as Anne Boleyn's bed chamber. It is beautifully paneled i and contains the original furniture, i including Anne Boleyn's bed. In it is . a splendid pair of andirons bearing ; the royal initials "H. A.," and sur> mounted by royal crowns?andirons . whose royal initials "H. A." must be > especially dear to the present baron. Another room is said to have been . used as a council chamber by Henry VIII, and has a curious stucco ceilm > ing. There are many ancient stained glass windows in the castle, and the r building contains dungeons, secret staircases and the other romantic at1 tributes of a historic residence. Just f i what use is made of the dungeons is ; not known?probably the Bora or , Hever would like to use them for e > some of his former countrymen.? l > Boston Transcript. t .
