As is well k.own, whalebone is get
ting 10 very scarce article and very
high in price. Whip manufacturers are
feeling the scarcity and high price of
the material more than any other class
Of consumers. The nearest to practi
cal substitute yet found is the Feather
bone, made from the large enameled
quills of the goose and turkey. Feather
bone is very durable and elastic and is
now being used largely in the manu-
facture Of whips and though much
cheaper possesses more of the nature Of
whalebone than any material yet found.

A HISTORIC FARM.
Resolution Calling for it's Purchase bv
the Government.
BY The United prass

COLUMBIA, S G Dec. %. The leo
islature has adopted resolution in.
structlng South Cardinals represen-
tatlves IN Congress to prepare and
support bill for the purchase of the
Temple farm and Moore House At
Yorktown, Va, by the Government
of the United States of America nro
Vlded the cost of the said farm and
all improvements shall not exce.d a
reasonable price, and that the State
OF Virginia shall exempt the same
from taxation. The preamble to the
resolutions states that the Moore
house and Temple farm will carry
with them through all time the
memories of the siege and victory
by which the allied armies of France
and American colonies secured orr
nations independence; that during
the recent centennial celebration of
the event by citizens and represen-
tatives of the Republic of France
and the United States of America
the hope was expressed by the de-
scendants OF the officers of both
France and America who comman-
ded On the field in 1881, that the
farm and house should be preserved
and .perpetuated as a memorial of
the friendly alliance which then and
ever since has rested between
the people of the two nations, as
we'll as IN respect to the memories
OF those who fell il. or survived the
struggle that ended the protracted
war and gave peace and hope to a
then impoverished people; that the
property can az this time be secured
tor a nominal sum, and that the
product of the farm will probably
be ample to preserve and keep the
buildings in repair, which are so
located as to be we'll adapted for
government purposes on occasion of
naval inspections and reviews on
York River.
