TWO WORST SLUMS AT BANKER'S DOORS Backyard of Wall Street In a Deplorable Condition. Bowling Croon's Neighborhood Association, formed a year ago to clean up one of the worst slums in the city ?the back yard of Wall Street?has summed up its year's work in a tietermination to concentrate upon the children and so educate another generation in the fear and respect of hotter civilization, says the New York Evening Post. For the children are as thick as the West street flies in these slums of the financial district) they sicken and die in double and treble the proportion of deaths on the East and West sides of the city. Under the eyes of the corporation magnates in the tall buildings of Broadway these children swarm in toneVw*i si\c m'Ii fit eiiri'Pv r?f tho district, made fifty years ago, called over a hundred years old. The houses are the low, cavernous wooden buildings, shored and patched, to which the original Knickerbockers of two hundred years ago betook themselves after transacting their business around the Battery. The old doorways clearly show their age, being little more than trap doors a step or so below the side walk. The halls are narrow, rickety, winding passages which have been boarded up or allowed to fall through according to hit-or-miss necessity. Coine down to Washington street,, one block from the docks, on the West _Side, and stand at Carlisle street. This is the center of the district. Thei old wooden tenements are on every side. On the vertical fire escapes line upon line of dingy clothes block the fire passage. The narrow streets are full of heavy trucks loaded with _ . ^ J._ ^ 1 n 11 i i piouuce ior snipping. small ciarK stores are on the street level. Syrians and Turks, shopkeepers, look suspiciously at strangers. Syrian laces and needlework are piled up in the dark rooms, and all the gew-gaws familiar in the summer peddler's basket are scattered about The women look helf-asleep and sullen. The men have a disinterested aid and no especial . kindness toward the little children who get in their way. Over all is a small, not the cabbage-laden odor of peasantry, but a filthy, unsanitary smell which comes from sewerage and personal uncleanliness. . ftp- Dangers of the Street. "The mothers of the Washington street slums put their children in the care of the street. They have no other place. The street is full or waterside trucking. Every day some child falls und/ir a wagon or is stepped upon by the dray horses. The older girls of the neighborhood are bold and careless. The carousals of the dockside are their entertainments. At night the better class of them dare not go out. Neither can the mothers let their little children outside of the door. In a certain larg.? building, overlooking these streets, corporation officials made a special jpeint of warning the office employees not to walk through the district at noontime. To be sure, it is unpleasant on a lunch hour stroll to step on a dead cat in a doorway or to be followed up the street by a drunken Chinaman. r ? 0 i &outh Carolina land is attracting the attention of farmers in the West and Middle West. Recently John L. Strosahl of Grundy Center, Iowa, pur chased the Pinson farm in Greenwood county, containing 221 acres.

I I After signing the agricultural appropriation bill last Friday, President Wilson presented the pen with which he signed the measure to Representative A. F. Lever, of South Carolina, chairman of the House committee on agriculture. The President also took i occasion to write Mr. Lever a letter; , expressing satisfaction at the work ; | which the Administration has been j able to do for the agricultural interests with the aid of Mr. Lever and I his associates in both houses of Con-1 1 gress.
