The old soldiers ot the State will doubtless bo delighted wita the gen erosity of the hut legislature, which made tho largest appropriation cvei made for pensions in South Carolina. Tho chocks fer this amount has been malled to tho survivors of th" "thin grey lino" and thcro will be ninny lit tle needs and wants supplied by "ray pension money." ThU year especially will tho stipend come In hnndy and will be worth much to the old fellows lt would be fine If the State could afford to mako this enough to sup port in comfort every one of the oid 'boys, bu* that would be too . much tc expect yet. The time ls coming, how ever, when the Uno gets a little thin ner that we shall be abie to do this nud wo feel sure that there will bc no more Joyful task than this for thc young men who desire to honor thur the patriotic wearers of the grey in tho '60's. Theio are 498 of the old soldiers to receive pensions In this county, and the total amount for An derson will be 810,875. RECORD WHEAT TI ELD. There shall bo bread and to spare, according to the yield of wheat which ls looked forward to this year. The "government crop report will be is sued today, and will doubtless show Jhe largest yield of wheat ever made "iii the United States. The western wheat fields have shown an lucreaae In acreage of over 4,000,000 acres, and tho eastern section about as large proportionately. The eattmated yield tor this yoar, baaed upon the average yield for the last ten years, ls 14 bushels per acre. Last year, however, tho yield wag 19 bushels per acre, and this amount may be duplicated. So the wheat crop thia year may reach 700,000.000 bushels, and will be the largest by far the country has ever grown, The Intelligencer ls glad \<\ know that the Piedmont section ot n-mth Carolina has awakener to the possibility ot growing wheat, and that the crop this year in this section will also be the largest eveY grown. CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL. Greenwood County has a "live* farm demonstration agent, and One which is making the people of that county "sit np and take notice." He is progressive and hard working, and In addition to a large com club for tho boys, and n big number of demon strators among the grown-ups, he has started a correspondence course in agriculture. Thia coarse is for the boya Of the country schools, and he has IIB pupils enrolled from 15 schools. The first lesson will be mall ed out April 12, anet win continue for the balance ot the year. The Green wood Journal has the following tc say ???'.to this w-<rk: T?> ';ourae will extend through a period of ten months or a year and will include the miratner vacation. ? Th? .work will be done at home and the help of the parente will be per- ? mlssibte. A lesson sheet or Information sheet will be sent to each pupil on .Monday of every other week and will be accompanied by a question sheet, which'will be tilled out and return M bv the pupils on the following Monday. The information or lesson sheet will he left In the hands of the pupil to be used later on. Aa Wera review sheet will he sent at the end of each ouarter, reviewing the work cover ed buring that, period ot time. Each pupil will bo graded as tc his work and a careful Ate made of each lesson. Certificates may.be awarded ' % the close sf tho course. HA SIT.? KY STABLES. Th?1 11.' <-11 i ?-? m er ls .informed that the city board cf health is probably unaniinouHly opposed to the proposi tion put forth by tho city council to build the proposed new city barns in tho heart of the city, and favors the construction of these in the suburbs of the city, or at least away from the buslnesH district. If Anderson is ever to make a prop er start along modern hygienic lines, seeking really to do away with tho major causes of flies, and other in sects, which spread disease, the city council should support the effort seek ing to erect theae barns away from the buslnos district, and where the least possible harm will occur as a result of their location. The matter will doubtless shortly I?,, brought to tho attention of the council by official action of the board of health, and sound hygienic policy as well as wisc business principles will doubtless dictate the adoption of the poilcy desired by the health of ficials cr the erection of a sanit?r:? barn and stables. It may be argued that other stables are located as near the business dis trict, and that to remove tht-so would bo to work a hardship not to be tol erated. In the event that this view ls taken, and we would not combat it then tho city should build a sanitary barn, and Btablea aa a model for the others to follow. i FAYETTEVILLE ADOPTS IT. The Intelligencer has a number of linn's commented upon tho enlarge ment of tho local chamber of com merce M> as to include members from the entire county. In ether words to put into* effect the "Trenton Idea," which ia spreading rapidly in other progressive communities. Thia "Tren ton Idea" simply means the elimina tion of the imaginary Uno or boundary between tho city and the country, and treating every member of the club as If he were a citizen of the community. It enlarges tho community by embrac ing miles instead of blocks, and does away with tho visionary difference between tho man' who lives In the city md the man who lives lp the count ry. Recently this Idea struck Fayette-' trille, N. C., and tho chamber of cont uerce invited the farmers of the sur rounding country to como in and be nembera The Charlotte Observer has :he following to say about this pro gressive step: Fayetteville has what ls commonly erm ed "a live" chamber of cont uerce, and the latest idea of this or ganization for broadening its held of tsefulness la to open ita membership oil to farmers of the surrounding aunty and to invite them In. Some lme ago lt made, farmers eligible nd has a number of rural members, nt wants an increase In this CIBBS. n an article in.

The reason ar wanting this -particular humber t this particular time, la that it rould "round cut the membership to total 500." Asking and answering Ito question as to just why the entlemen who live In the country hould accommodate the chamber of ommerce. The Observer says for ox ctly the same reason that the 32C ave already joined-because they an help themselves and ethers by so oing.

When lenderson'o charter waa drawn the mita were set just 1,500 feet In ev ry direction from a stake in tfle mid ie of the town The clerk that copied tat bill wrote it 1,606 miles, and ey ry farmer In Cumberland Couny red In the town ot.

The measure ot proa erity depends on the measure of co- ? peration." lt is a wonder the Fay ttevUle idea had not been born earl Mr and had a Wide:- sp; ?ad.

"Send for the veterinarian at once," waa th a order given by Samuel Sherard, a farmer living west of Pur due University, when he noticed sev eral of his cows acting strangely in the yasture. Sherard walked into bis pasture yesterday and beheld the most dis orderly pastoral scene that t'.er con fronted bis vision. Beside, a blooded Holstein, bad apparently * taken the count and lay feet upward on the sward. She was hiccoughing like a balking automobile motor. Three other cows were lying about her in a Beml-circle and they seemed to be tak ing no interest in life. Barby, a big Jersey milker, was trying to emulate her ancestors in doing tho Jump over the moon. On all sides were tired looking cows, some recumbent, others on their knees. Their bovine solos were ot the "washa matter?" type. Sherard's neighbors were , aroused and soon there was a board of inquiry in session. The veterinarians came, investigated and found that there were no symptoms of disease In the cows. Then it was discovered that In a nearby orchard was a cider press and on the ground was a big pile of apple pnlp, better known aa pernease. The cows had feasted on lt, the al cohol had done Ita work and the ani mals were actually on a spree.-Laf ayette (Ind.) Dispatch to Indianapolis News. MRS.
