RAISING OWN FOOD SUPPLY ? - Vaste of Money Spent For Things to Eat R?ua n?4 Ciai. o- A} ? - ? ?~ J w.tu v? ic gidic?OOFTIC Old t|5' tic# on Rye Are Also Furnished? Yield Per Acre. Columbia,?"It beginB to look very much as If our people are at last going to realize the vital necessity of raising something to eat at home," said Commissioner Watson in announcing the figures for the wheat crop in South Carolina for this year. Statistics secured by the department show that the wheat crop is 5,632,000 bushels as against 4,938,000 bushels Tor last year. The average yield per acre last year was 10 bushels and this year 11.4 bushels. "I have presented at every meeting I have attended, the facts in cold figures as to the waste annually indulged In for things to eat bought beyond the borders of the state. We have been rocking along, for instance, sending outside of the state every year for flour the appalling sum of $20,000,000, and most of it I am satisfied is about the same class of product as we have found corn meal to be. In 1908, under the supervision of this department, a movement was launched for the increase of the wheat acreage of the state, and several meetings were held that fall for the specific purpose of getting our people to undertake the raising of wheat with a view to home consumption. In one section alone that year, 5,000 acres which had never been planted in wheat before was put into cultivation. No result in agricultural advance has been so gratifying as that following this campaign, and I am happy to say that this result has already contributed to our 1911 crop record an increase over 1910 of nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. "The total wheat crop in 1880, in this state was 692,358 bushels; in 1900, on an acreage of 174,215 was only 1,017,319 bushels worth $958,158 and tne average yield per acre was only 9 bushels. On a yield per acre of 8.05 bushels In 1907, the yield was 2,669,000 bushels, worth $3,203,100.00; in 1908 the average per acre again went to 9 bushels and the yield was 2,833,300 bushels worth $3,686,000.00.

The auditorium will be used for the National Corn exposition. Heard tH* Secretary's Report. The regular monthly meeting of the Orangeburg chamber of commerce was held at the city hall and Commercial Secretary Marchant made his report concerning the "booster" trio. He stated that he has gotten in touch with many important men along the Pregnall's branch of the Atlantic Ccast Line railroad, and nearly everyone is In favor of the proposed change of schedule. The county fair was discussed. Bids are being received for the erection of the main fair building and the premium list his been arranged. The matter of extending me grear wnite way was discussed and the matter was enthusiastically received. Action will be taken at the next meeting. Send in Your Aoplications. In the latter part of July, the state superintendent of Education forwardid to the different county supcrintenlents throughout the state the application blanks for state aid to tbe high schools. On August 3. the state high school inspector sent each state-aided school a postal card, informing the school where to get the blanks and suggesting the sending of the applications to him without delay. Up to this time only about one-fourth of the schools have sent their applications. To Lessen Chances of Fires. Urging the removal of all combustible material from premises.

COLUMBIA NEEDS BOAT LINE Water Rate Situation Discussed? Will Increase Business?A. McP. Hamby Named as Manager. Columbia. ? That Columbia needs the river boat line was brought out at a meeting of the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce, when iiiv u11luiitun wii? uisiiisscii oy a. k. Gonzales, the president of the New York, Columbia & Georgetown Boat company; T. C. Williams, the promoter of the steel barge line and several well known wholesale merchants. The opinion was expressed by a number of representatives that Columbia's importance as a distributing point for many commodities is almost entirely dependent upon its water connection with the coast. These men use the boat line for transportation from Columbia to Georgetown. From George- ! town there is an arrangement with the Clyde Line company. For some time the business of the ; boat line has been greatly hampered by exceptionally low water, but notwithstanding this fact the company j has done an excellent business. The ; situation with regard to river navi- i gation is vitally important to the ! commercial Interests of Columbia. The Chamber of Commerce is interested in the stimulation of shipping by water, and at the meeting, which was called for a free and open discussion of the situation, the resignation of J. W. Smith as general man- ! ager of the Columbia, Georgetown & New York company was afcepted, > and A. McP. Hamby, the secretary of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, was selected to have charge ] of the boat line under the direction of A. E. Gonzales, the president. See- j retary Hamby is familiar with river navigation from his experience as a : government engineer. He will work to create business for the boat lino and has already outlined his plan of action. He will guarantee all shipments by the boat line to be delivered on time. The work as general man- : ager of the boat line will not Interfere with his duties as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. That the boat line means a great saving in freight rates wes shown by the experiences related by several wholesale men at the meeting. Destroys Illicit Distillery. Two Deputy Sheriffs, Lockhnrt and Watkins made an expedition into (in- ni'^iunii ttfi'iiun ui iins county, :i section notorious for its illicit liquor dealers, and destroyed one of the largest distilleries ever seen in the county. It had a capacity of 100 gallons. The officers stated that the fires were still burning and everything showed that it was in active operation at the time that it was destroyed. However, the birds bad evidently received some intimation of the approach of the officers and had flown. It is expected that there will be some ' later developments. | Larcas^er V. /or "Icsi.nt. j r? firnntlo'. t l . a . thereon.

BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE Ccttcn Is Slow in Maturing This Year. May Be Exposed to Frost. Memphis, Tenn.?The CommercialAppeal weekly cotton crop review says: "Lack of rainfall in the Carollnas, part of Oklahoma and Texas and western Oklahoma gives rise to complaints of shedding of a rather severe kind, while in all other states excessive rainfall is producing a very rank growth of stalk, is retarding t lie proper setting of new bolls, and is rotting a few already made. "The natural maturity of the plant is also being delayed, and the crop will be exiwsed to unusual danger from frost if the rains continue. "Preceding; the inauguration of this drouth in the extreme east and the southwest and heavy rains in the central states the plant was well fruited and comparatively early in growth, so ' that, although the loss has boon rather . heavy during the past two weeks, the | promise is still good to fair. On the bright side it is also worthy of note ' that in many localities showers have ^ been neither excessive nor scant, and the crop is extremely good. , "Except in Texas and South t'aro- ( Una, but littlu cotton picking has been done, and the bolls are opening slowly ( because of the continued growth of the plant due to the rfains. The boll ( weevils in southern Mississippi and . Louisiana now appear active enough ^ to stop all further setting squares. The worm damage has not been ex ] tensive. "Texas correspondents report that j a good soaking rain within too next week will restore much of the loss.

That there lias been some deterioration is true, due much to tlie rain, which lias caused the weed to take on abnormal growth at the ex- ! pensc of fruiting. This deterioration is from the condition of several weeks f ago. when every indication pointed to the largest and most perfect crop over grown in Alabama.

England.?A tremendous wave of relief swept over England, i when announcement was made from i the board of trade that the railway j ' strike had been settled and that the men would return to work immediately. j1 Telegrams were dispatched to all important railroad towns, bearing the I > information, and those crossed in ttansit messages to London describing the strike riots in Llanelly and smaller points in the kingdom. The cabinet had bee n working night and day since the strike threatened to arrange a compromise. .Mo.: ot the credit for tlic ultimate success of their efforts appears to rest on tile shoulders of Chancellor Lloyd-George, who, in his statement to parliament, and in an interview with the managers and the men, worked for conciliation when all others of the interested parties seemed to have abandoned hope So far as technical advantage in the compromise goes, it appears to lie in the men's favor, particularly as the managers consent to meet their representaiveg.
