Southern Railway Scholarships..
Washington, February 2.
President Finley, of the
Southern Railway Company,
announced today that, as a
means of supplementing the
extensive work being done
by the Company for the ad
vancerrfent of agriculture in
the territory traversed by its
lines south of the Rotomac

Company.
Mr. Finley will take this
matter up at once with the
president of each agricultural
college concerned, asking
him to permit the Company
to pay for the scholarships
and to select the young men
to be benefited by them.
The scholarship s, which are
.o cover the full four-year
course in agriculture, are to
be awarded in accordance
with plans to be agreed upon
between the presidents of the
colleges and the Railway
Company and are to be given
to young men residing in
counties traversed by the
lines of the Company, and
who would otherwise be
financially unable ; to avail
themselves of an agricultural
college training.
As soon as arrangements
have been definitely perfect
ed, full details, as to the
scholarships to be awarded in
each State, will be announced.

Nit Safe to Sm keon a Load cf Hay.
The Yadkin Ripple has the fol
lowing: Ac;ording to D. I. Reavis, of
Courtney, it is net safe to smoke
a pipe while hauling hay. While
drivh'g from his barn last Thurs
day on a wagou loaded with hay
Mr. ReaVii decided he would
break lha monotony by indulging
tu the luxury of his ever-comlort-mg
p D3, but not many moments
had elapsed in this manner before
he discovered to bis surprise that
the hay was on fire, and was be
yond o:utrol, so the ouly thing to
do was to save the mules, which
he did, although they were
scortched a little. It is a strange
coinciderx that Chailey Res vis
was hauling hy Wednesday with
the same wagon and fell off the
ioad, breaki.g three ribs.
