M h SOUTH CAROLINA t< THE WONDER STATE Not one of the great daily paper* ?j of the South has upon its staff a more p able correspondent that James A. a Hollainan, of the Atlanta Constitu- m tion. e: Mr. Hollomon is now adding to ei his well earned laurels as a brilliant correspondent by a series of letters jc from Southern States showing the M method of government, the taxation problems of each state and the meth- C ods adopted by which the states t> conduct their financial, educational o' and other interests. In his special dispatch from Co- c< lambia, S. C., Mr. Hollomon says: $1 "One wonders how the government fi of the state of South Carolina is run c< on so small amount of money con- A! vidcring that a total of $6,000,000 a year is all it takes 111, the major por- ci tion of which goes into school sup- M port. "Ami that last fact, in a degree, ^ is the answer. South Carolina's remarkable agri- t< cultural dvelopment is attributable if more to the excellent work of Clem- ei son college, and its collateral public E service activities than to any other ti source. o: "South Carolina's remarkable tex- 3< tile development is attributed more than any other source to the train- c< ing of the young men of the state J in textile engineering; and of the tl great work of the textile schools, and the mill schools and community H sen ice carried on under ttys au- b spices of one or another branch of A school activity in the state." ii In an editorial article referring to ? Mr. Hollomon's special, the Constitution says:. S "In the Hollomon dispatch from South Carolina recently The Constitution's correspondent calls that the "Wonder State," for the reason that she depends almost entirely up- J on a property tax for revenue; takes A in, all told, about $6,000,000 a year; S and yet it is a matter of official r^eord & that the state is actually leading the o South in school support, in proportion P to her per capita wealth and white population. ? "South Carolina has a population h of only 1,700,000, or more than a 3 million lc?s than Georgia. She has d no private property. She is in $ debt, borrowing each year to pay li her obligations, but she "pays' as sne goes, HDsoiuteiy, ana iurnisnes * support to her great agricultural col- -s lege, Clemson of around $500,000 a ^ year; to her industrial normal $400,000; to her university $250,000, and 3 to her military college around $500,- n 000. She leaves the responsibility of common school maintenance to the f counties, but appropriates $1,000,000 w a year to encourage consolidations, e long terms, attendance efficiency, etc., through various state aid bonu- > ses. h "South Carolina, like Georgia, is f looking around for a more modern r and adequate revenue system; but i> South Carolina, unlike Georgia, is * not letting any of her institutions, r< educational or humane, suffer in S the meantime. She appropriated to ' illustrate, in 1921, $784,000 to her ? state hospital. t< "Indeed, it is a 'Wonder State!'' ' She never has a "deficit." If 'she ti needs money she borrows it She makes a business proposition out bf M it." CUT OUT COTTON A In an address before the Louisiana and Mississippi division of the Americano Paiiah Aa>a?Ul!*ai v( .. t> i m i vuno v/uvivmi ninv;v.ialivn 1*11 , 1 UU1 IU( 'I Potts, of Mississippi, urged the aboli- fi tion of cotton raising for one season 1 in order to get rid of the boll weevil. * Mr. Potts, said: tl "I have tried every method sug- ci gested to get rid of tne ravages of o the weevil, but thy have failed. There fi is only one sure method. That is for the eotton belt, through legislative si action, to prevent the planting of j< any cotton for one year. The weevd '< cannot propagate its species urfles* it has cotton plants to lay its eggs tl in. If there was no cotton for one o: year the weevil would be wiped out." r W. B. Thompson,a leading cotton b; factor, of New Orleans, president of > the Louisiana division of the Ameri- p: can Cotton association, urged upon ir the cotton men present the necessity for controlling acreage and develop- > ing a chain of bonded warehottseN u throughout the cotton belt. tl "The country will be on the high roud to prosperity if the farmers r continue to plant only one third of a their acreage in cotton and the rest " in food and feedstuffs," said Mr. Thompson. is One trouble about limiting the planting of cotton is that it Seems i impossible for cotton farmers to act together even for their own good. VI While a certain contingent might not Y plant cotton another class of farmers w would say "now is our chance to -i make money on cotton/' and would b* put in a big crop. Every class of workers except Si farmers seem to be able to organize for their own behefit.

Mars will also be at the lith during 1924 and may be adrably seen from a disused mine ift I found at Chaneral, Chile. "My idea is to use the mine shaft the barrel of a gigantic telescope, ;y feet in diameter. Telescopes of :h size have been difficult to conuct, owing not merely to cost, but' o to the physical obstacles in the y of building a mirror sufficiently &e. "We are doing away entirely with nirror and substituting a revolving ite of mercury fifty feet in diameAs the plate revolves the merry will form and serve the pur se of a perfect condensing mirror, croscopic photographs taken under se conditions will yield a magnifition of 115,000,00 times." For years the question of life in irs has puzzled astronomers. Prof, rcival Lowell, and some fellow scitists, as Flammarion, of France, ire been staunch in their belief that irs is inhabitated. Not long ago the rid was startled by the statement Signor Marconi, the wireless wiz1, that unusual sounds nre from le to time received by wireless apatus ,and that in view of their reachsimultaneously stations far apart jy seem to come from a great disice beyond the earth. Immediately ; question arose: Is Mars signaling ? No definite answer has yet been en. Now the world awaits the work of ofessor Todd and his novel telePe. rhe telescope will be unusual in istruction. At the bottom of the ig mine shaft will rest a plate of rcury, almost nineteen hundred lare feet in area. As the mirror st be concave in shape to concente its captured rays at a given nt, the plate will be jrevolved. As i plate is revolved the liquid mer y, by centrifugal force, will asne a concave surface. IVhen Mars sails across the top of mine shaft, the rays of light m it will be caught in the giganmirror and reflected and concented at a pint some distance up the ift. At that point a magnifier, cade of enlarging the concentrated ige twenty-five million times, will Id photographs which will tell the e story of this neighbor of ours in ce. 'rofesaor Todd is one of the lead oviuuviibcin vi uiu luumry, it 11 ci been professor of astronomy and igation at Amher3t since 1881, as II as director of the Amherst obvatory. He has headed' all imtant United States astronomical editions since 1878, his travels in# carried him to n\pny lands. Of ent years he has devoted himself re deeply to solving the mystery of rs. t is strange, this quest of ours for >rmation about Mars. Mars, when r us, looks simply a bright star. One on Mars the earth wouid look rcely brighter. And yet it is this y,- almost the smallest of the planbut a pin point of light to the ea eye, mat stirs us 10 our nuoud questionings, i curiosity as old a* man ha* mptcd him to Mk if ho' %*ere alone his mighty universe, or*system of reraes. It is as if tome jealousy e disturbing him. For ntha has *1i felt that this is his uairerse; aat the stars are for him, and the i|| noon, and the sttn, and the distant' stars and moons and sqns. The bought that there afe living beings >n Mars, neighbors in space, but Utter strangers, with, perhaps, a civilixa,ioii resembing ours, has always er aothered him.

With true Roman "courtesy" he seised the principal buildings, and hid Its warring factions behave. Cleopatra heard and took heed. On a cer-. tain day Caesar held audience, and each new applicant added some gift to the pile growing at his feet. Then came a giant Nubian slave, bearing a roll of carpet on his back. He unrolled It before Caesar, and Cleopatra stood before him In unrobed loveliness She was sixteen, Caesar almost sixty.
