AN 29s-lr, BANK SHOWS 'WAY TO IMPROVEMENT INVESTS IN TEN REGISTERED BULLS AND ALSO BUYS SOME HOGS DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo pie, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. A. I. Hutchison of Rjo(k Hlill. read ing clerk of the house of representa tives, brought to colmiIII)ia a iIkIlhue story of a bank's cooperation With the farming interests of its co)uIllun ity. The National Union Hank of Rock Hill has hit upon a novel scheme to better the breeds of livestock in its neighbor-h)ood. F1ai th in the possibilities uf dairying and stock raising was sup por'ted by an investment in 10 register d Hereford bulls from the West. I'hese the bank has placed with farm 3rs in different sections of the coun y. The only source of revenue is $1 or service, which fund is to feed the tninals and provide caretakers. It is Igured that each calf from these .hroughbred cattle will be worth $5 nore than offsping from scrubs. Should .00 calves be dropped the first year, ,his alone will provide the nucleus for t large herd of beef cattle, which will )e more than doubled the second rear. The Hereford is largely a beef type, md ranks next to the Shorthorn in the iumber raised tbhroughout the United States. Their popularity consist much n their adaptability to adverse cir mmstances. They are good rustlers ind thrive under conditions of scant pasturage where other breeds would likely fall. In continuation of this policy of Incouragenent and help to the farm wrs, tle bank has taken another step f equal signiflance. This was the of rer to pay for all blooded hogs the rarmers wanted to buy, the only secur Ity asked being a mortgage on the liogs to be paid off whenever conveni lent. In consequence many farms have been stocked with the best breeds of hogs available. Commenting on1 the bank's leadership in this direc tion, Mr. Hutchison said: "Rock Hill is rapidly building up q background of agricultural develop ment which we believe has no equal ir the state. In addition to all this activit) in live stock and hogs. hundeds o tons of alfalfa are being mowed ir the neighborhood of Rock Hill, the al falfa clubs now having more than 10( members. This hay is disposed o0 largely in Rock Hill, the thrifty farm er bringing it to town, and thE thriftless taking it home. As an in. dication of the kind of farming soie of our men are doing, Oran S Poe preparinlg to put in 50 acres in aiflafa, Mr. Poe hlas just finished 2,200 bushleis of oats, 350 bushels of whleat aild 45 bushels of rye."

The South Carolina club students attending the summer school of teachers at Winthrop College have comipiled somec interesting statistics relative to native white illiteracy In South Carolina. The members are wondering whether illiteracy has anything to do with econoimic condi tions in the various counties. "The South Carolina club students think that 'moonlight schools' are as badly needed in their state as they were in Rowan county, Kentucky, when a heroic band, composed of every school teacher, determined to wipe out illiteracy-and wiped it out,"-says ia paper prepared by the club members. Some of the facts established by the club members are as follows' Orangeburg county has 4 per cent. of white illiteracy and $351 of - -per capita farm wealth.-the average farm wealth for the state being $304 per capita. Sumter county 1han 4 per cent.- of white illiteracy aia 1345 of per cap ita farm wealth. Lee county has 10 per cent of white illiteracy and $453 of farm wealth. Saluda county hias 5 per cent. of white illiteracy and $397 per capita farm wealth. Florence county has 9 per cent. of white illiteracy and $3q8 per capita farm wealth. Greenwood has 6 per cent. of white Illiteracy and $342 of per capita farm wealth. On the other hand: Georgetown county has 13 per cent of white illiteracy and $108 of per capita farm wealth. Ilorry county has 10 per cent. of white illiteracy and $215 of per ca'pita farm wealth. Union has 13 per cent. of white Il literacy and $222 of per capita farm wealth. Chesterfield county has 20 per cent, of white illiteracy and $277 of per capita farm wealth. Williamsburg county has 14 per cent. of white illiteracy and $253 or per capita farm wealth. In Spartanburg county there are nearly 6,000 native wOhite men, women and children more than ten years of age who can neither read nor write their names. In Greenville county there are nearly 4,000. In Anderson county Just under 3.500. There are five counties in Souti Carolina with each more than 2,000 and 12 counties with over 1,000 whc can not read or write. Home Economic Course Profitable.

PAIGN AMONG FIREMEN OF THE STATE. URGING FIRE PREVENTION Charleston Chief Will Visit Thirty Cities and Towns in South Caro lina.-A Big Work. Columbia.--Through the courtesy of thel board of tironiasters of Char leston., Insurancve Conmmissioner Me.-1 Iaster ha been able to secure the services of, louis Beh rens. chief of tle Charlhston fire department, to reptselt. the d lmritttuenHt and to visit as manty of the fire departiin-nts of tle state as he is able to reach inl three weeks.

The insiu ranceo coitnissiioitr CX presses Iimself as delighted at laving secured the services of Chief Bet.h rens, who is onl;e of the most entu' slastic firemen inl tite state. and who has given a lifetime to the service. Among the insurance men Chief Belt rens ranks very high and ie is re garded as one of the most efficient fire chiefs in the United States. The plan of having Chief Behrens make these visits has been found very successful In North Carolina and in other states which have reduced their fire waste. It is not expected that Capt. Behrens will be able to visit more than 25 or 30 towns this year. It is the purpose of the insur ance commissioner to secure the ser vices of Capt. Belrens or some other expert fireman each year so that the work- will be completed and that all towns will be visited in the next two or three years. It is expected that Chief Behrens will commence this week to make his visits to the various towns of the state. He will give about three weeks to this service. This is a purely gratuitous and pa triotie work on the part of Chief Belt trens. He has refused to allow tle state to compensate him at all for his work. He will act as a deputy of the insurance department. which will bear his traveling expenses.
