The legislature ought to go very slow In its con.sideration of the Gray don 50-car train bill. which wol ( limnit the length of traIns in this state to fifty cars. Should this bill be passed it would wipe out at one blow millions of dollars of capital Invested to make possiblo the hauling of long er trains. he bill is inten(led, so it Is understood, as a ineasure of safe ty against accidents. One of the rc uIlts will he the giving of ellployment to more men. rhe question of the safety of the shorter train s is a debatable one. It has been pointed out lby railroa(d of flcials that to clit Ip one 100-ear train into two 50-car trains quadruples the danger of collision and Other things that may tend to muake railroad traflic utnsafe. Pres. Mark W. Potter, of tlie C., C. & 0. railroad, which ruts trais of as high as 135 cars, ascribes the low fatality record oil Ills railroad to the greater safety i'.eident to longer and the'refore tewer trainis. There is certaiily a tuestion whether or not shorter trains Wouild give more sa fey, while it goes without truestion tlit they wold in(1 - crase the ex len s to the railroads and indlretly to thle consturn'rs. I. seems to us that11R:> resent at ivo (raydon should iIIgIL forth facfs .1n1d 11 ligttres i Siliport of hIs contentioni before llis bill is al lowetl to becoio a law. CH !(*011.\ (101..1-:W-1.

Wilkie who read a chapter in the Bible, which was followed by prayer. Next came the spelling match. Mr. W. 1. Wilkie and Mrs. Austin ..\'er cronible were appointed to choose sides. The men were chosen by Mr. Wilkie and the women spelled on the opposite side. Just common words were given such as animals, farn im plements, household articles. vegeta bles, etc. There was some right good spelling (lone on both sides, but the men finally lost out. When the spelling was over, cake anld coffee were served by the ladics of the improvement association. Several songs were then sung -ind the exercises closed. Outr night school has been a complete success. Many thanks to our teachers for their un tiring efforts.

The prograin for the meeting has been iapped out and coinmittegs are at work completing the detal's with a view of making the occasion pleasant and profitable to every one who at tends. Trhe young people are also anxions and perhaps limpatiently awaiting the passing of today as mnily of then ex pect to attend a social party given this evening by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Leanian. Mr. Willianm Wharton who has be2n attending South Carolina university, the last four sessions, graduated from that institution last week and return ed home Wednesday. It is a credit to Mr. Wharton that lie has by constant application and diligent study filnished the course so early. Ile will receive his diploma at commencement in June. Miss Lillie Culbertson, accompanied by Miss Mary Martin of' Mountville, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Greer Sprott near Greenwood. We understand that some farmers who failed to get wheat sown in De cember as they intended, are sowing now in the hope that at least a par tial crop itay be mado. The high price of flour has awakened us to the importance of making our own farmi kelf-sustaining. The fair Weather last week enabled the farmers to gather much of the cotton brought over in the fields from last year. The ginneries here were kept busy Friday and Saturday. More than 4,000 bales have been ginned at this place durIng the season. Lanford, Feb. 15.-More rain, more rest, says the law boys at Lanford station. At this vriting all out-door worik has come to a standstill ont account of heavy rains. Up until late Saturday evening you could hear the gee, haw from all sides. No fertilizer has been shipped to Lanford this season. Therc will be but little used in our section this time. I have heard several good farmers say that they will not us( any at the present prices, but editor you knowi us farmers, we stlek togeth er like oil and water, hence you may look for anything from us.
