Most people believe that the
$4,000 a year which the President
gets as his salary is the sum total.
This is mistake. The estimate
of the amount which Congress IS

President. We see that $36, ,0S4 is

salary os $4,000, to pay the salar-

clerks at good salaries, one tele-
graph operator, two ushers getting
$1,000 and $1,4O0, a night usher
getting $1,000, a watchman who

In addition to this there is set
down $4,000 for incidental ex-
penses, such as stationery, carpets,

other heading, there is demand
for nearly $4,000 more. Of this
$12,5OO is for repairs and furnish

A Chat About Oatmeal.

Annie /. Jack, In Good Housekeeping.
No one can live long in a Scotch
community without noticing the
heaIthful look of the children
whose food consists largely of oat-
meal, compared with those fed on
fine grains, or even groats, which
are the same only without the
hnsks. This chaff or husk, how
ever, which if left in the meal, con
tains some points that act as a
stimulant or the coats of the
bowels to keep them active without
medicine, and render this food of
great benefit to the dyspeptic.
There is no method of cooking oat-
meal equal to the making of por-
ridge, and when properly prepared
it is generally favorite dish for
breakfast. "What makes your oat-
meal porridge 80 so good?" is a
frequent question in our house
from strangers, and they think the
meal must be of superior quality.
But to prepare it properly the wa
ter must be boiling, necessary salt
added, and the oatmeal then stir
red in slowly by sitting it through
the fingers. The process must not
be hurried if Jumps would be
avoided. When it begins to boil
up we'll, stop stirring and close The
pot tightly. Set at the back of the
stove while you cook the rest of
the breakfast. Lift the porridge
without any more stirring, as it is
this that breaks the grain and
makes it waxy. The Scotch do not
stir with spoon, but with a
smooth, fattened stick called a
"spurtle," that any one can make
according to their own idea. This
gives more evenness to the mixing,
and if cooked in this way the por-
ridge. will be sweet, whole-grained
and wholesome.

A NEEDED LAW.
Will Our Legislators Look Into
Its Merits?
Yorkville Yeoman.


This State is suffering at the
hands of fire insurance trust.
The lunatic asylum, and probably
some other public buildings in the
State, have been special objects Of
this rapacious money sucking
trust. They refused at one time
to carry the risk on the asylum un-
less the electric wiring was fixed
as they wanted il. Some changes
were afterwards made in the wiring,
and then the insurance companies
demanded an exhorbitant pre-
MUM. Every business man in
the State (and they pay a large
part of our taxes) is suffering
from the extortionate charges of
this trust, which is known as the
Southeastern Tariff Association.
In behalf of this element of our
citizen taxpayers we call the at
tention of the Legislature, to
these facts and suggest that they
endeavor to better conditions by
the passage of such laws as would
meet the exigencies of the case.
We are reminded of these things
at this time by the agitation of
this identical question before the
Legislature of Georgia. now in ses-
sion at Atlanta. A bill has been
introduced there which, if passed,
promises to abate or restrict the
powers of this unholy association.
This association of insurance COM
panies is SO strong that they have
on numbers of occasions compelled
independent companies to cancel
policies they had written in this
territory. We suggest that a law
be passed authorizing the appoint
ment of a board of three or five
men to be known as the insurance
commission and that they be en-.
powered to regulate rates. The
tariff association will fight the
effort to pass such a law, and do all
they Can to. keep it from getting on
the statute books, but we need re-
lief and look to the Legislature for
help.

AGRICULTU TURAL.
Cotton Seed for Hogs.

Many of us can remember when
hogs were fed on cotton seed, boil
ed, and also the supposed disas-
trous affects from their use. AS our
people have been discussing the
use and value of cotton seed of
late, we give one more suggestion
from correspondent o. some pa
per. He makes strong case in
favor of feeding them to hogs:
Contrary to prevailing opinion,
cotton seed, if properly mixed with
other food, 80 as to make a prop
erly balanced ration, is the cheap
est hog food we possess and per-
fectly safe. They are to be found
on every farm and are now being
sold at one-half their value con-
sidered as a stock food, as COM
pared with the market value of
corn. There is an abundant crop
of sweet potatoes. which can either
be marketed or preserved to ad-
vantage. Cotton seed and sweet
potatoes mixed in proportion of
one of the former to three of 'he.
latter, and boiled together will
give a hog food superior in every
respec: to corn and absolutely safe.
"To those not having potatoes
and using corn as sole fattening
ration, I would suggest to mix cot
ton seed and corn bushel for bushel
and grind together or cook.
"Fed according to either method,
every bushel of cotton seed is
worth to the farmer as much as a
half bushel of corn, or at the pres
ent price of corn 35 cents per
bushel, while their present market
price is less than half"

Do Not Sleep ON the Left Side.

There is little doubt that an i'm
mense number of persons habit
ually sleep on the left side, and
those who do so can never, it is
said, be strictly healthy. 1t is the
most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant taste in
the mouth on arising in the morn
ing. All food enters and leaves
the stomach on the right side, and
hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves a sort OF
pumping operation, which is any
thing but conducive to sound re-
pose. The action of the heart is
also seriously interfered with and
the lungs unduly compressed.
Hence it is best to cultivate the
habit of always sleeping on the
right side, although Sandow and
other strong men are said to inva-
riably sleep on their backs.

1t Pays to Raise Hogs.

Greenville Mountainecr.
A good many farmers in this
section are realizing the truth of
this proposition. Mr.. W. H. Sell
man, of Toney Greek, is entirely
satisfied with his experience this
year, and is much better off than
when devoting all his energies to
growing cotton. He has raised
forty-two hogs this year, and has
sold thirty-nine Of them, retaining
three for his own family use. One
hog sold at Pelzer weighed 1854
pounds, which at 6 cents per pound
yielded $21.S4, equal to the vale of
bale of cotton weighing 425
pounds. Mr.. Selman says that this
hog was fattened on twelve bushels
of corn at 10 cents per bushel, he
likes the cost at SS.4O, makll,g a
profit of 1914. He can make ten
bushels of corn per acre, and cul-
tivate ten acres as easily as he can
four acres of cotton. The corn
will fatten eight hogs, which is
equivalent to eight bales of cotton,
with far more profit in the trans
action. Mr.. Selman is Oh the road
to prosperity, and so is every other
man who makes cotton his surplus
crop. When this becomes the rule
among our farmers, their lands
will increase in value and they
will again become the lords of
rrnot1on

Cotton Option.
EIchanPe.

Exchange.
There is a movement on foot in
some sections of the State to buy
no fertilizers unless the companies
will agree to take cotton, and in do
ing so be sure that the number Of
pounds are not increased. If the
companies will not give cotton op-
tions use no commercial fertilizers
but make all you can at home and
you will not have to pay so much
money that goes out of the State
to build up other States to the
detriment of our section. Buy
less fertilizer, plant less cotton and
more corn.

1. The first thing to put in that
instrument should be paragraph
forever forbidding the State or any
municipality in the State, to IL
cense the sale of whiskey, and that
no whiskey should be sold except
by the dispensers.
2. That no county in this State
should be allowed a greater num-
Der of Senators than every other
county is allowed. We have seen
the statement in print that Char
lesion is the only county in the
United States which has two Sena-
tors.
8. Instead of eating up the
counties into small sections allow
two Senators, and forbid "that any
new counties shall not be formed
or erected within the jurisdiction
Of any other county; nor any
other be formed by the junction Of
two or more counties, or parts of
counties, without the consent of
the people of the counties concern
ed as we'll as the Legislature; )"
that consent to be ascertained by
popular vote of all the people in
the counties which it is proposed
to mutilate. This is substantially
the provision of the Constitution
of the United States in reference
to the formation Of any new
States, and would apply with equal
force to the formation of new
counties in State. It is just and
fair

CONSPIRACY DISCOVERED
Populists Advise Negroes to Burn
Houses.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-A spe-
cial to The Globe Democrat from
Sylvania, Ca, says: A wholesale
plot of incendiarism was unearth-
ed in this county, and seven negro
culprits, aelf-confessed. are now in
the county jail. About two weeks
ago the house and barn of State
Senator Wade, who was absent in
attendance upon the Legislature in
Atlanta, were burned at midnight.
The men arrested yesterday con-
fessed the whole story. 1t was that
following the recent elections they
had been advised by some white
men to organize and burn out the
people who deprived them of their
right to vote. They then formed
themselves into an oathbound as
sociation for the purpose of incen-
diarism. Their first work was on
seuator Wade's property, because
he had no right to represent them
in the Senate. They were to have
burned the homes of two other
well known citizens if they had
not been arrested.
The community is so enraged
over the affair that a strong guard
was placed about the jail last night
to prevent lynching.

BIMETALLISM.
All Other Issues Should be Sub
+ Ordinated to It.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 29.-At to-
days session of the bi-metalic lea
que the following preamble and
resolution was adopted:
4 Whereas, 1t is an indisputable
fact that the monetary revolution
inauguratod in 1878, by changing
the money standard from gold and
silver to gold alone has resulted,
in twenty years in doubling the
value of money and reducing the
general level of prices so per cent.
III Therefore this conference calls
upon the advocates of monetary
reform everywhere to make mon
etary reform the paramount issue
and to vote for no candidate who
is not is favor of the free coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio
Of 16 to l, as 1t existed in this
country from the foundation of
the Government and for indefinite
ages throughout the civilized
world until 1878. Americans must
act for America Independently of
what other nations may do or may
not do and to this end we urge the
organization of silver leagues
throughout the entire country. the
members of which shall pledge
themselves to do all in their power
70 carry out these principles, and
that the mining and agricultural
States unite in close compact and
subordinating all other issues and
all party considerations to this one
purpose, work together to secure
this all-important reform.
II Resolved, That committee of
Eve be appointed to take this move
n,ent in charge with power to take
action when the time has come for
further action.
\ The gold standard cannot be
maintained by issuing bonds and
borrowing gold, and He denounce
the issue of bonds in times of
.r,eaace as not only without authority
of law, but utterly indefensible as
public policy and we call upon
Congress to Immediately put a stop
to this lawless and reckless use of
the public credit. What is needed
now is more standard money to pay
debts and taxes with and not more
promises to pay gold. We de-
nounce also The proposed policy of
delegating to banking institutions
organized for private gain the
right to issue and regulate the pa
per currency of the country, a
power which the general govern
ment alone should exercise.

"It is a court martial" answered
Cass.
"What have I to do with it?'

"It dismisses al officer from the
service, and the President must

Jackson toyed with the paper
and said musingly: ''Dismisses

something of that kind" answered
the secretary.
"Who ordered the court?" asked
Jackson.
"Gen. Scott answered Cass.
"Who is it?' inquired The fresi.
dent, with more interest.
"Inspector General Kfaun," re-
piled Cass.
"What!" shouted Jackson. "My
old friend Kraunl Cass, just read
what that paper says"
The secretary read the usual
form of the court martial sentence
in such cases. The President the1
took the paper and wrote across the
hottom where be was about to sign
his name:
"The within findings are disap-
proved, and Col. Kraun is restored
to his duty and rank"
He passed the paper back to
Secretary Cass and said, with his
usual vehemence:
"By the Eternal, Cass, when you
and Scott serve your country as
we'll as that man has you can get
drunk Oh duty every day"
A young man from Tennessee,
son of d friend of Gen. JacksoD's,
came to Washington for a place.
He looked about and found what
be wanted. 1t was in the war de-
partment and filled by a very eff
cient Whig, whom Secretary Cass
would not remove. The young
man told Jackson the situation,
and Cass was sent for.
"Cass," said the President, "this
young man, son of my old friend,
says you have got a place in the
war department filed by a Wing
which you won't give. him" I"
Secretary Cass explained that
the duties of the office were of a
peculiar kind, and he could get no
one to fill the place if the man
now in it should be removed. Jack
son fared up.
"By the Eternal, Cass, do you
mean to tell me you have an Office
in your department filled by a
Whig which can't be filled by a
Democrat? Then abolish the
office !"
The young man got his place.

Off With His Tail.

By Rev. D. J. Burrell.
It was in Already.
The Council of the State, made
up of patriarchs with gentle eyes
and long boards, sat meditating Oh
measures pertaining to the public
veal.
The door was suddenly thrown
open and a lad, breathless, with
cheeks flushed and eyes bulging
out with excitement, after several
vain efforts to articulate, atlength
succeeded in saying, 'Your Hon
ors-there's mad dog-rampaging
the street! r. ss.5 5,.af S.s s.
Mad dog, rampaging the
streets !"
In a moment all was confusion.
The aged counsellors sprang to
their feet and stood silent, with
suppressed excitement. Then as
with one impulse they all fastened
to the front windows of the Con-
silium.
"There he isl" cried out one of
them presently.
"Where" Where2"
"see hin? Yonder by the CROSS
roads at the markell"
"Ah, yesl And how he is foam
ing and raging! Woe toany help
less ones that may chance to come
before him."
"see by the Puerillum," cried
another; "the lads are just coming
from morning school! They will
surely be bitten by this mad
beastl"
And bitten they were. One and
another of them were torn by his
poisonous fangs.
"Oh, this is horrible !" cried one
of the venerable men at the win
dow.
"What shall be done about it?'
"Aye, that's the practical ques-
ton, what shall be done about it?"
"Let us consult the Legalia Con-
vella!"
The Legalia Convella were the
books of law, the accumulated
wisdom of many ages.
The ages sat solemnly bending
over the books. Day after day they
had turned over the parchment
leaves with no mentionable results.
Meanwhile the original mad dog
had bitten many others and there
were now sources and hundreds of
NANCY ours foaming at the lips, IN
hiding at every corner and ready
to spring forth upon the passers
by.
The people mourned. There was
lame ntation in almost every house.
Boys were bitten and limped, or
were carried to their homes, where,
after weeks of lingering pain, they
died in awful spasms.
Still the deliberations went on
at the Concllium. The aged func-
tionaries were unwilling to do any
thing without the authority of law,
and as yet they had Leen able to
find nothing.
At length, as they were porting
over the Convella, gleam of sud-
den Joy lightened the face of one
of them and he cried, GIVE got it,
here it is !"
They looked up eargerly, then
all bending over the book, read as
follows:
