In the kiln was 140,000 feet of poplar and pine lumber, th'e value of which was estimated at around'$3,000. The fire men had a hard fight to prevent the fire from spreading to great piles of lumber in the .surrounding yawd, but were aided by the brick ,walls of the kiln which held up until there was suf ficient steam for the steamers to checi the fire. A stiff breeze fanend the flames which burned fiercely for abou three hours. Winthrop Wins Contest.

COURT TO REVIEW ANTI COMPACT ACT ATTORNEYS ATTACK LEGALITY OF THE MEA8URE-ANSWER BY PEEPLES; DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doing* and Happenings, That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo. pie, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. Hearing on the petition of David B. Henderson of Charleston for an order to prevent the attorney general and the insurance commissioner from enforcing the terms of the anti-com pact fire insurance act was held be fore the supreme court. The petitioner was represented at the hearing by T. Moultrie Mordecai, J. N. Nathans and A. T. Smyth of the Charleston bar. The state officials were represented by W. H. Townsend of the Columbia bar and Thomas I. Peeples, attorney general. The arguments by the attorneys for both sides contained many p6ints and anthorities. The demurrer of the attorney gen eral charged that the petition did not state facts sufficient for a cause of action. After hearing the arguments the supreme court took the case under advisement. In the argument by the petitioner's attorneys it was charged that the Laney-Odom -act violates several see tiogs of tile state constitution. In his argument to the court the attorney general stated that the pe titioner "has not shown that lie has been injured or is threatened with any injury by reason of the enforce ment of the act of 1916 to prevent fire insurance companies or associa 4.ions or partnerships doing a fire in surance business in this state to enter into any -compact or combination with any other fire insurance companies. associations or partnerships, approved March 2, 1916; and he is not in a posi tion to ask this court to consider or determine the constitutionality of this act. " The attorney general also stated that th. respondents "would welcome a decision from the court construing the act in question and directing them as to their duty there under." "The provision," said the attorne3 general, "for violations of the act it germane to its subj.ect, and the aci Is not to be considered as utsconsti tutional because there Is no allusioil to these provisions in its title. "The fact thlat penalties are im posed for violation of the provisions of the act does not render thlese sec tions void as being without title; for it would be a natural complement to tile act regulating tile business of in surance to irielude any julst andi prop or provisions for enforcing the duties imp~osed up)on the persons and com panies affected andi to prescribe p~en aities for the violation thlereof." Attorneys for the petitioners con tended that the anlti-comlpact law coil. fers ulpon tile insurance commissioner b)oth legislative and judlicial powers. "wichl under the conlstitultion,. can only be resp~ectively exercised by tile legislative and judicial departments of tile government of the state." Tt was also charged thlat tile act (de prives tile petitioner' of tile "lproperty withlout due process of law." Will investigate Catawba County. Gov. Manning will aplpoint a com mission to investigate tile matter of forming a new coluty out of part of York, Chlester and Fairfild counties.

It is understood that action will be brought in1 the supreme courIt to test the constitutionality of the act aimed at ill shaped coulnties. Advocates of thbe newv county. to be0 knowvn no Ca tawba, told the governor at the hear ing that ho would not be asked for- anI election ordler until the peOtition was accompanied by3 a decision of the au preme court onl theC ill shaped county act, which was passed bly the general assembly In 1912.

Toole, Ot- to pro-. vide for the teaching -of ag'icUiture' in the public schools,"' sid' J, Swearingen, state superinfenident -of education, - "Such a law has been urgod and discussed for years. Mr. Toole has been an insistent advocate -of the policy, in and out of the legislature. The proposal was discussed through. out' the gubernatorial ciAtpaign of 1914. "The establishment of county or die trIct . agricultural schools in other states has proved - expensive.. The Toole plan is the outgrowth of the ex periment conducted ' in Darlington county by state, county and district school officers, in co-operation with Clemson college. . "In the fall of 1914, Prof. J. M. Napier took charge of an agricultural class in each of five consolidated country schools. The principals co. operated heartily by aiding him in class room instruction and filed ex periientation. T4c result was pro nounced successful by men like D. 1? Coker, Bright Williamson, L. W. Dick. V. E. sector and D. L. Lewis. In the fall of 1915. two additional experts were employed in Darlington county and 14 schools organized regular classes in agriculture. "The act is based also Qn the Nichol son rural graded school law of 1912, which has been so stimulating in pro moting rural graded school progress. Three, four or five schools .must co operate in the employment of an agri cultural teacher. Each school must have an enrollment of at least 75, three teachers, a three-room building. an eight mill tax and a school farm of at least two acres. The tax is re quired in order to insure adequate support; the school farm is necessary in order to provide a demonstration plot. "The group of co-operating districts supplies $760 and the state contributes an equal -amount. A salary of $1.130 is thus made available for the employ ment of a trained teacher of agricul ture, who may act as superintendent of the group of schools." - The act was approved March 27, 1916. In commenting upon the outlook. the state superintendent said that 14 or 16 groups of schools are readily available. Anderson, Chesterfield. Col letan. Darlington, Dillon, ]Florence, Greenville, Horry. Laurens. Oconee Orangeburg, Spartanburg and Wil liamsburg, all have sections with schools that ought to undertake this work. In selecting the localities con, sidoration must be given to good roads in order to prevent too muel waste of time in traveling from schoo to school. Letters have been addressed to thi county superintendents of educatioi in these 13 counties, urging them t< look into the local situation, confe with their district trustees and copi municate with the state sup~erintend ent. All the agricultural and educationa: forces of the state and the nation are behind this movement. Tihe appro pilation for 1915-16 was only $5,000 and 'will, therefor-e, take care of only seve'n group~s of schools. Many New Enterprises Chartered.
