then called "love apples,' were

brought them from South Carolins

tho fifth man married an ''injun"

There is one point in the pension ar
rears bill which it is thought probable
will be referred by the interior depart
ment for construction to the department
of justice The new law says arrear-
ages of pensions shall be paid at the
rate for which the soldiers were origin
ally pensioned. AS congress has changed
the rates several times, and the latest
applicants originally received the largest
pensions, the man who gets pensioned
now gets a heavy sum in arrearages
The totally disabled man originally got
eight dollars per month; now he gets
seventy-two dollars. The question is,
then, in the case of a totally disabled
new pensioner, whether he be paid ar
rearages at the rate of seventy-two or
eight dollars per month. The commls-
sioner will ask congress at once for an
appropriation to carry out the law, and
that it be made Immediately available.
Additional evidence needed IN cases OF
those now receiving pensions will be
very slight. The commissioner will
ask a small increase of clerks, and that
the pension agencies be re-districted
without additional force.

THE increasing production of ostrich
feathers on the South African farms,
combined with a falling off in the de-
mand at home, has led to decline in
the market rates for this produce at the
colonial sales. Feathers of superior

feathers, realized q guinea each, or at
the rate of 1925 per pound. The aver
age price for fine white feathers was

about $40, and drabs or fancy colors
only $40 per pound.

SMALL INDUSTRIES.

We would direct the attention of our farm
ing and agricultural readers, to the card OF
Geo. NJ. Coffin, Of Charleston, dealer in coun-
try produce, poultry, eggs, butter, &c. Mr..
Coffin wishes to build up trade with this
section of the state, and in a note to US, he
says he sees no good reason why York county,
rich in all the essentials necessary to make a
people prosperous, could not, with little ef-
fort, make heavy consignments to our sea-
board city of poultry, eggs, butter, grain,
hides, beeswax, fruits, and any other articles
produced on the farm. Most of the poultry
sold in the Charleston market comes from Ten
nessee, distance of between GOO and 7OC
miles, either by express, dressed, OF by Cal
load alive. If the farmers of Tennessee can
derive profit by raising poultry for shipment
to Charleston, surely it would pay the farm
ers of the upper part of South Carolina to EN-
bark in the same business, especially when the
outlay for the enterprise would be compare
lively small.
Charleston pays about $500 per week fo1
poultry alone, the larger amount of which
goes to Tennessee. Without much trouble on
the part of our farmers, this amount could be
diverted to their own pockets. We trust some
of them will correspond with Mr.. Coffin and
give the scheme trial.
