50-AI TRAINS.
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:>

hIs contentioni before llis bill is al

Youngs, Feb. 13.-Our night school
closed Friday night with a spelling
match. The exercises were opened by
Mr. W. H. 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

Thle Kttights of P'ythlas are looking
their annual banquet which will be
given next Wednesday evening. 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

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(
