? County Board of Commissioners
>e well within their rights In de?
clining to grant the petition to erect
a shed for the curt) market, but the
ground on which the refusal Is based
does not appear to be well taken. No
expenditure of county funds could
possibly be of greater and more di?
rect benefit to all the people of the
county than that which the ejection
of a Curb Market shed would entail.
The chief beneficiaries of the expendi?
tures would be farmers who have
country produce for sale, but who
heretofore, before the establishment
of the Curb Market, have had no reg?
ular and certain market. U the Curb
Market Is supported and malntlned.
the outlet for country produce will be
steadily enlarged to the direct and
immediate profit of the farmers. The
residents of the city who are able
and eager to purchase directly from
the farmers are also benefited by the
maintenance of the curb market. In
that they obtain fresh and wholesome
articles at less cost than they have
heretofore had to pay for stuff ship?
ped In from other Sttaes. The curb
market enables the producers to ob?
tain higher prices for what they have
to sell than they have hitherto receiv
edn and to sell many times as much as
they have been able to find a market
for. but also It enables the consumer
to obtain necessary food supplies at
less cost than they have been accus?
tomed to in the past. I' this Is not

J. C. Dunbur of Dal/ell Comments ou
l'ttu?ual Weuther of Past Week.
Editor The Daily Item
The ground, at this writing, is again
covered with snow and it is still fall?
ing. The people of this community
recommend and insist that our legisla?
tive delegation get an ami ndflstnt, to
be submitted to the people, who 1 am
confident will ratify it. making It un?
constitutional for It to snow in April.
The execute e head of t hs a . r het 1 u
reau seems to have a spite at us or
seems to have I >st his grip and it Is
necessary that some legislative action
be taken, that when through malice or
tncompetency, he cannot discharge the
duties of his office with due regard to
the seasons and Interest of the people,
he should at once be replaced by one
who has the ability and is not domi?
nated by a spirit of envy and r.plte. If
conditions k?> >>n ?s at present, the
seasons will become so disarranged
there will be slips and slides to that
extent, we will lose our equilibrium
and won't know where we are at. I
hope our delegation will Rive the sub?
ject due consideration ami at the
next session will like ample steps to
have things of this nature properly
regulated. It may be. the Kuropean
war has something to do with the
weather conditions. bu| we nre a free
people ami are not supposed to be In?
fluenced by the actions of the people
of that country, but standing on the!
principles of self-government, with
law and order ?n all things, pertain?
ing to our best interests our first ob
Ject. is the greif.r n-as n why our
weather man should act with con?
sistency and accuracy In carrying out
the duties of his office.
I see in the papers that Huerta is
comtn? back to Mexico to lead anoth?

t ominerelal Cultures Differ in Results
on Mtalta Field at Clemson.
Clemson College. April 5.?A ten
acre field 'on the Clemson College
farm has been put Into alfalfa this
year very successfully. The field
was sown last fall and the stand is
now excellent and gives promise of
gOOd yields.
This held was inoculated with
commercial cultures obtained from
three concerns, which provided the
cultures so that the college might
put ^hem to the test in the field.
One kind of culture was thoroughly
successful. Another was almost as
successful. The third, however,
which waa asserted to be a "pan?
acea," or capable of inoculating
many sorts of legumes, failed to
?
produce results. This part of the
field was reinoculated with the kind
of culture that had been successful
at first.
gall inoculation for legumes of all
kinds that require Inoculation is
recommended by Clemson College,
where commercial Inoculation is
used, farmers should bo very careful
to use ji kind that has been proven
successful. For alfn'fp. oqc an 01?

EGYPT NEWS IN BRIEF.
Smithville School Closed on Account
of Having no Plnee to Teach after
Building Was Burned?Personal
News.
Egypt, April 7.?After several
davs of the roughest weather ever |
?een in this section April has burs
fortii in sunshin- and the feelings are '
those of spring. Two mows and Ihre?
rain) days last week and ;: cold day
Easter, doesn't that beat all previous
weather records?
Most farmers have planted a good
quantity of corn and some arr plant?
ing cotton. The oats are beginning to
grow. Wrheat is doing well and the
prospects at present are for a good j
crop.
There was $500 insurance on the
Smithville school building which was
burned several weeks ago. The trus?
tees of the school were unable to get
a suitable place to finish the term so
the school came to a close. Mr. B.
F. DeShields, the principal, returned
to his home in Laurens county last
week.
Mr. B. F. JDeShields and Miss IIa
Mae Evans of the Smithville school
and Miss Nina Rembert of the Pisgah
school attended the State Teachers'
Association meeting in Florence two
weeks ago.
Miss Kate McCaskill of Camden
spent several days of last week with
Miss Eva McCaskill.
Misses Anna House and Lena Mc?
Leod were in Egypt yesterday.
Mr. W. T. McLeod spent yesterday
in Camden.
Little J. W. Weldon is still very
sick.
Last Thursday, after having classes
until 12 o'clock Mrs. Braxton took all
the school children for a tramp and
picnic. This little "April fool" was
thoroughly enjoyed by all. The in?
clement weather last Friday and Sat?
urday kept the several schools in
this section from having their regular
Easter egg hunt.
