Adulteratcd Flour.

There was Il statement in Chicago
paper few days ago to the effect that
since Joseph l4citcr has succeeded in
corncring the visible supply Of first
grade wheat, bakers and private fami-
hes who have been accustomed to
using the very best -four have been
entering bitter complaints as to al
legged adultcration.
The story is that although dealers
still use their best brands am:! charge
the high prices, the flour is not nearly
so white as it was Il few months back,
aud neither will it rise as it did then.
The statement was of sufficient in
tcrcSt to indu the reporter to make
!cca! inycstig ions, and upon appli-
cation To II well-known Yorkvillc mcr-
chant, got some information that was
startling. The merchant referred to
is one who has the reputation Of keep
ing thoroughly informed as TO cycry
detail of his business, and who srorns
to msreprcsent anything he sells. In
Fact, he is one Of those men who
thinks more of sclf-rcspcct than he
does either Of his goods or the money
! he expects to receive for them
Yes. said the merchant, 1T is no
doubt Il fact that flour is now being
literally adultcratcd by all the mills
in the country. | know OF only one
big mill that has not been adultcrat-
ing. and my last information was to
the effect that il vas putting III the
machinery to enable it to adultcratc
also. They use corn meal ground up
with the flour, and the proportion i,
about % per cent. Of corn to - per
cent. Of wheat. Some use as high as
80 and 80 per cent. Of corn.
But you ought not to be surprised
at this :nformation, the gentleman
continued. "a Few years ago when
the best quality Of wheat sold ut ~
cents tushcl laid down. you remcm-
Der you raid about So per hundred
for good -four, and now with wheat at
S1.l', you are only paying about So %.
If they cid not mix the wheat with
corn as they do, they could not sell
flour at any such prices as they are
selling it. Cant you see they can t?
81 have no doubt continued tho
merchant, that if man wants to
buy pure -four. he can do it; but he
will have to pay away up yondcr for
it; and then again, he will have to be
a pretty good judge Of that article be-
fore he viii be able to tell whether or
not he is really getting what he is
paying for YorhriU: EMquircr.

Only u Fake.

McConMlcK, S. G., Feb. 2.-Thc
story Of the 10000 pesctas, said TO
be buried on the property of Mr.. ".
a. Branch, at Mccormick, S. c., as
published, excited much comment
around town yesterday. Some there
were who locked on it as Il confidence
scheme, while others, on the contrary,
believed it in toto. This latter clasa's
views may be summed up in remark
of one to a reporter: "Wcll! If some
body wrote to me that $780, we're
buried on land belonging to me, I'd
find it if | had to dump the whole
place into the Atlantic ocean,
But, alas! it is all fake, bunco
stcercr s dodge, clever confidence
game, as the sequel proves.
Among those who read the story
was Mr.. w. l. Wilson, the undcrtak-
er, and great light broke in upon
him ut once.
He says that his father-in- law Maj.
w. j. Gocding Of Hampton, ). c.,
had aiso received letter from the
military prison oe Barcelona, signed
by Juan Rasanta. identical with that
received by Mr.. Branch, except in re-
gard to the place where the ill-gotten
money was hidden. In this case it
was on MIR. Gooding's property and
and the exact spot would be given ON
receipt Of 81 900.
The letter also enclosed a certificate
from Sabalonga. governor (?) Of the
military prison, as we'll as an item
lied bill from the Young Ladies
College dc La Paz.'' 1t was all there,
just as in Mr.. Branch s case So the
clever scheme stands revealed in its
true light-a fraud, pure and simple.
The matter for conjecture now is,
where did it originate? Is it an cma-
nation Of some rascally Spaniard's 5
brain who once travelled this section,
or does it come from some confidence
man in gay, wicked New York! If
the latter, he must have confederate
i'll Spain, for not only were the let
tcrs written on paper not used in this
country for correspondence, but they
bore Spanish stamps and the cancel
lation marks Of the Barcelona post
Office. In either case, there is op-
portunity for good detective work.
Moreover, the end is not yet. Fur
thcr developments may be confident
ly looked for Coiumhia oeyiStcr.
