Washington, April 4.—Mr. Thomas
H. Daniel left Washington last Sat
urday evening for Spartanburg on a
very happy mission. Tuesday he and
Miss Bessie Boyd will be united In
marriage at the home of the bride’s
mother in Alabama Street in Spar
tanburg. The young couple will leave
at once for Washington, their per
manent home. The ceremony unit
ing their lives will be pronounced by
Rev. G. M. Boyd, uncle of the bride.
Rev. G. M. Boyd, uncle of the bride,
and a former resident of Gaffney.
Miss Bessie Boyd is the youngest
daughter of Mrs. Boyd, widow of the
late J. Marion Boyd, who in his day,
was a leader of the South Carolian
conference. She is a young woman I
of many graces and accomplishments,
her tme womanly virtues and charms
being quietly yet surely reflected in
her gracious manner and individual
ity.
Mr .Daniel is an old Laurens coun
ty boy, a Wofford graduate, a news
paper man and at present holding an
important position in the law depart
ment of the Southern Railway sys
tem. At one time he very acceptablj
filled the position of private secre
tary to Congressman Jos. T. Johnson.
While Tom Daniel does not belong
to that class who are heard for their
loud talking and tooting of their own
horns, the writer knows it to be a
fact that with the officials and fellow
associates of the big system that em
ploys him, Daniel has the confidence,
esteem and respect of the force. His
pleasing addfless, splendid moral
character and thorough equipment
for his work happily make him "the
man for the job." When the doubt
ful balances of right and wrong and
the knotty legal propostiions that
ccme dally in his pathway can be
disposed of, Mr. Daniel finds time to
pursue his taste for newspaper work,
in which line he is talented to a de
gree and for which he is enthusiastic
and indefatigable. Having had the
good fortune to have been associated
with Mr. Daniel in daily newspaper
work for a season, the personal
phase, of this itme, the writer hopes;
will be overlooked. As all newspaper
‘J folks know, it is at the desk—in the
wee, sma’ hours, or the witching time,
when churchyards yawn and graves
give up their dead—in and out the
unnatural season, when you are
thrown in daily and nightly contact
with a man in the line of business
or action, that you really know him
and size him up. Tom Daniel is "all
to the good,’’ and I wish him and his
mighty well.
Washington, April 4.—In attempt
ing to account for the big deficit in
the postal revenues, some opposed to
rural free delivery have advanced
statements that that great service is
responsible for the dearth of dollars
in the treasury. But the records do
not bear out the statements. No
representative in Congress has had his
^strict better 1 or more thoroughly j
supplied with the R. F. D. service
than Congressman Jos. T. Johnson.
To the end of installing this service!
in the several counties of the Fourth
District he has spent months of time'
in season and out of season, and the
service is appreciated by thousands
and thousands of people who never
before its inauguration knew the
benefit of a daily mail.
In this connection the Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General has writ
ten a letter on the subject of the R.
F. D. from which the following in
teresting extracts are taken;
"In 1897, when the expenditure on
account of rural delivery was only
$14,840, the postal deficit was $11,-
411,779, while in 1907 the expendi
ture for rural delivery had increased
to $20,755,524, and the deficit had in
creased to $20,053,282. These figures
seem to demonstrate that the increas
ed expenditure on account of the rural
delivery service bears no ratio to the
aunual deficit. On the other hand
It is certain that the operation of the
rural delivery service is responsible
for a very large per centage of the
Increase in the postal receipts. The
establishment of a rural route in
variably brings with it a great in
flux of mail to the 'locality affected,
and this is gradually followed by an
increase in the outgoing mail. It
should also be borne in mind that
since the inauguration of the rural
delivery there has been a saving of
[ More than $12,000,000 on account of
the closing of small postofflces and
discontinuance of star routes.
"On March 1. 1908, there were 38.-
832 routes in operation, and 888 peti
tions were pending for establishment
of rural delivery which had not been
acted upon. This is a great fallngoff
in the number of petitions received
as compared with a few years ago.
The number of routes installed during
the fiscal year 1905-G averaged 304
per month; during the year ended
June 30, 1907, the monthly average
was 163 routes. At the present the
average la little more than 100 per
month. The dimunltion in the de
mand for the service is principally
due to the fact that in the older
States the territory available for
rural delivery has been parctlcally
covered. The requirements in these
States now consist largely of rear^
ranging and extending existing routes.
In the fast developing sections of the
west, however, there is an increased
demand for the rural service. For
example, up to October 15, 1902, there
were only 19 rural routes in opera
tion in the Territory of Oklahoma,
while on March 1, 1908, the State of
Oklahoma had 806 routes, with 84
petitions for service pending.
“The recommendation of the de
partment that a special rate of post
age to cover delivery to patrons on
rural routes or at the distributing
pcstoffice thereof of books and mer
chandise not exceeding ll pounds
for 25 cents, 5 cents for the first
pound and 2 cents for each additional
pound, such rate of postage to apply
only to packages transported on a
rural route to or from a portion of
said route, while not entailing any
additional expense, would undoubt
edly greatly increase the revenue de
rived from the rural service.”

Washington, April 4.—The House
of representatives still has in hand
the big appropriation bill for the Dis
trict of Columbia. The committee in
charge has chiseled down the esti
mates, but there is still room for
pruning. The Washington people
wanted fifteen millions; but the com
mittee trimmed this down to $11,’000,-
000. In Saturday’s proceedings, when
the house clerk read the section.
"Personal tax board; For two as
sistant assessors of personal taxes, at
$3,000 each; appraiser of personal
property, $1,800; clerk, $1,400; as
sistant clerk, $1,000; thriee inspect
ors at $1,200 each; extra clerk hire
$2,000; in all $15,800.”
Congressman Jos. T. Johnson ask
ed the question; “How many tax
payers are there in the District of
Columbia?”
Mr. Gardner, of Michigan; “The
gentleman means the number of tax
payers?”
Mr. Johnson, of South Carolina:
"Yes, real estate and personal.”
Mr. Gardner: “That is another
subject that the committee did not
feel called upon to go into. We were
not interested in the number of tax
payers, but rather in what they were
paying. Wte were more concerned
about the revenue derived than the
number from whom it was derived.”
Mr. Johnson, of South Carolina:
‘T do not know, Mr. Chairman, that
the amount of money has much to
do with It. A tax assessor may em
ploy as much time in collecting taxes
from some citizen who pays on $20
worth of property as it would take
him to receive the taxes fro n some
great corporation that pays taxes on
$20,000,000. So that the number of
taxpayers must necessarily be com
puted in order to determine how
much work- these people have to do.
For instance, if the chairman will al
low me to state it, in the county in
which I live there are more than
20,000 tax payers, some of them
very small taxpayers and some of
them may be very large. Yet one
man is required to assess the proper
ty of all the taxpayers of that coun
ty. He makes his calculations as to
the taxes due by each taxpayer for
school purposes, for county purposes,
and for any other purpose. Now it
seems to me that in the District of
Columbia, where two years ago there
were 11,000 taxpayers, a force of
something like 100 men to assess the
property and collect the taxes and
disburse the money is extravagant. I
hope my friend, in making up the
next bill, will look into that.”
The News That the southern Will
Resume the Operation of These
Train s Received With pleasure.
Official announcement was made
from the office of Division Superin
tendent Fallis in Greenville Satur
day, says the Greenville News, that
the Southern Railway has decided to
Put back on passenger trains No. 40
and 11 between Charlotte and Atlan-!
ta. The change will go into effect j
next Sunday. This n^ans that these;
two trains, which were discontinued!
north of Greenville a week ago, will
be restored to their original schedu
les.
This will be good news to the pub
lic. Some form of petition was sent
to the official from practically every
point between Greenville and Char-i
lotte asking that these two trains be
put back on north of Greenville, and
Southern finally decided to yield to
the many urgent requests that were;
in this behalf. It is well known to!
readers of The News that the offi-j
cials agreed some days ago to con-j
tir.ue trains Nos. 40 and 11 as far as
Spartanburg instead of making Green-J
ville the northern treminal, but none;
thought that there was the slightest
probability of restoring the former!
service between Atlanta and Char-;
lotte, which the announcement given
out Saturday assures being done. I
This action on the part of the South-;
em will be greatly appreciated by the
public.
There v^ill bo no change in the ar-|
rival time, of No. 40 at Greenville. It;
will continue to arrive there at 8:05;
o’clock p. m. |
No. 11 will arrive at Greenville 20,
minutes later, coming in at 4:40 in-j
stead of 4:20 p m.
Two other changes will be made in;

STATE S- S- CONVENTION.
The people of Union Took Care 0 f
the Delegates.
Union, April 2.—The State Sabbath
School Association now in session in
this city, is beyond doubt the largest
and most enthuslsastlc body of (in
terdenominational) Sabbath school
workers that has ever met in South
Carolina and we have that evidence
now before us. Our highest expecta
tions have been abundently verified.
Only a few counties are without re
presentatives and at each of the ses
sions on yesterday and last night the
large and beautiful church (the First
Baptist) was filled to its utmost ca
pacity.
The music conducted by Revs. Tul-
lar and Merideth was exceptionally
fine. So were the addresses of the
different speakers on different sub
jects.
Cherokee county is very well re
presented in the convention and a
movement is on foot to organize the
county in the interdenominational
work which we hope to see succeed.
The people of Union are doing all
in their power to make the conven
tion a success. They have opened
their homes and extended a hearty
welcome to both delegates and visit
ors. Of these we will speak more
fully when the convention is over and
we can make a full report.
Our home is with Mr. and Mrs. J.
IT. Barfles where we are being most
kindly treated. Delegates are still
coming in. The enrollment is already
large. We only regret that all our
county Sabbath school teachers and
scholars can’t be here to learn some
thing of the work they are trying to
do. We hope, however, when this
convention closes Its work the effect
will be seen and felt throughout the
State and that the masses of our peo
ple who look upon it as a trlval af
fair will see it In another light.
We are meeting friends and old
acquaintances by the score and en
joying ourself as well as could be.
We will be heard from again on our
returning home. Watch for our re
port of the‘convention next week.

“The Quartette was good and its
selections were especially acceptable
as they were new to this city.”—-Chi

“The concert by the Schubert Sym
phony Club and' Lady Quartette at i
the Y. M. C- A. last night was a most

things on the program by frequent
demands for a repetition.”—The San

Green Forage for Hog*
An especially timely bulletin has
just been issued from the Missouri
1 Experiment Station by Dean H. J.
Winters giving the results of some
experiments to determine the value
of different forage crops for hogs.
Thirty-six pigs weighing about fif
ty pounds each were fed in lots on
different forage crops in connection
with corn until they were ready for
market, accurate account being kept
of the cost of gains made.
In cheapness of gains the feeds
used ranked as follows: Corn and
skim milk, cheapest; com and alfal
fa, second; corn and red clover,
third; corn and bluegrass, fourth;
com and rape, fifth; corn and ship
stuff, sixth.
A saving of about 75 cents a hun
dred in the cost gain was effected by
using green clover instead of fresh
bluegrass. A saving of $1 a hundred
was effected by using alfalfa Instead
of bluegrass.
When it is realized that alfalfa
comes on early and when properly
clipped stays green all summer sand
until the very hard freezes of larly
winter, its importance as a hog pas-,
tore is apparent
l Clover yields more forage per acre
i than bluegrass, and as shown by
I these experiments has a much high
er feeding value. It is of the utmost;
importance therefore to provide this,
sort of pasture for hogs rather than
to equire them to run on a bluegrass
pasture, or even worse than blue-
grass, a timothy pasture, or even far
worse than this, to confine them iu a
dry lot in the summer time.
This bulletin recommends a suc
cession of crops for profitable hog
pasture. The bulletin Is for free dis
tribution, and may be had by address

lumbia
