Clinchfield & Ohio i Ivaii road. n The two cotton-picking ma- ^ g chines, which were given a "tryr out" in Marlboro county last week, are reported to have met ^ the respective tests successfully and the inventors and backers of each confidently claim that their | ? particular machine has solved j the problem of harvesting thej fleecy staple. Time alone will j j tell whether either o: both of t the machines are of practical o value. t Dr James H Carlisle, the vener- v able and beloved ex-president of c Wofford college, is reported to be f lying critically ill at his home in f Spartanburg.

Just c such flimsy circumstauces make up * Peary's whole case against Cook. e Inventions, as well as achieve- i ntfpts of exploration, seem to iC 0 in pairs these times. While two1 neti are wrangling over the aleg-.-d discovery of the North Polf, here conies a news story from I?enuettsville that on the ame day and almost in the same place, successful demonstrations ?f two different cotton harvesters have been made. Except as tc Lime and place for experiment, there seems to be 110 connection between the two machines, oiu being the product of a local letiins, and the other (inventoi unknown aa yet) beiug exploited by Theodore Price of New York, ihe well known cotton speculator The trustees of Clemson collegf are still casting around for 1 successor to Dr Mell as presidenl )f that institution. Among th( possibilities for the tendering ol the position are named Dr Heur\ K Snyder, president of Wofford college; Col 0 J Bond, superin indent of the South Carolina Military Academy; Kenneth G Matheson, president of Georgia School ot Technology, the latter a South Carolinian by birth, who was jartly educated at the Citadel Acad> smy of Charleston. Atiy ot the ibove named educators at the head >f Clemson would probably make ;ood. Newspapers come in for a lot >f "cussing" for faults of omision as well as commission, bul ve can bear testimony that it is lot always merited.

Senator Tillman gives notice that a competitive examination will be held in Columbia, at the office of ^ the Superintendent of Education, on November 1, at 11 ?in, to select two ' principals and two alternates for cadetships at the United States Milit tary Academy at Annapolis. The age reauirement is 16 to 20 years. i ?r Candidates may present themselves at the place of examinatian without I ' making application to any one for a permit. Cottoo Bagging Again. Concerning the 6 per cent tare 5 on cotton bagging, it seems that numerous American cotton mills kick against allowing as much tare as foreign buyers permit. 1 This is a matter which Farmers' ! Unions in the several States ; would do well to take up. If foreign cotton manufacturers permit 6 per cent tare, or 30 pounds for each 500-pound bale, 1 our local mills must either allow : as much or else pay a better i price for the cotton. More bagging on our cotton would also be an advantage to the whole cotton industry for the better protection afforded ; the staple and the better ap- 1 pearance of the bales. -'Local miljs should agree to the 6 per cent tare and have one uniform arrangement?Raliegh (Ar.

THE MARION COUNTY DISPUTEThe Hamby-Beaty Survey Confirmed by Prof Colcock. l'rof FII Colcock. who was appointed by Governor Ansel to test the lines of the proposed county of Dillon to ascertain if the area contained in the proposed county fulfilled the constitutional req airement. has submitted his report to the Governor. The constitutional requirement is r>00 miles in the old county and 400 in the new. and l'rof Colcock practically concurs with the survey of Hamby & Beaty, stating that nis measurements resuu in showing' 501 miles left in the old territory and 404 miles in the Dillon area. The test survey was made at the request of one of the commissioners. Now that the question of area is settled the election on the question of the formation of Dillon county will doubtless soon be submitted to the voters in the affected area. Myers-Johnson Last Sunday at 6 o'clock p m the wedding bells of old Marion rang out a merry refrain as Mr Charlie H Myers of Dillon and the charming Miss Mollie Johnson of Marion approached the Baptist parsonage, where the preacher was in waiting to make two happy hearts beat as one. The solemn ceremony was performed by Rev Rufus Ford, that made them man and wife. After receiving the pastor's kind benedictions the happy couple returned to the home of the bride's mother. Mrs Thomas Johnson. They arrived in Dillon on the 9 p m train the same night, where Mr and |Mrs Myers will make their future home. The Herald extends best wishes.?Dillon Herald.
