Adulterated Flour.

There was Il statement in Chicago
paper few days ago to the effect that
since Joseph Letter has succeeded In
corncring the visible supply of first
grade wheat, bakers and private fanli-
lies who have been accustomed to
using the very best flour, have been
entering bitter complaints as to al
legged adulteration.
The story is that although dealers
still use their best brands and charge
the high prices, the -four is not nearly
so white as it was few months back,
and neither will it rise as it did then.
The statement was Of sufficient in
terest to induce the reporter to make
local Investigations, and upon appli-
cation to well-known Yorkville mer
chant, got some information that was
startling. The merchant referred to
is one who has the reputation Of keep
ing thoroughly informed as to every
detail of his business, and who scorns
to misrepresent anything he sells. In
fact, he is one Of those men who
thinks more of self-respect than he
does either OF his goods Or the money
he expects to receive for them.
Yes said the merchant, cit no
doubt fact that -four is now being
literally adulterated by all the mills
in the country. I know Of only one
big mill that has not been adulterat-
ing, and lay last information was to
the effect that it vas putting in the
machinery to enable it to adulterate
also. They use corn meal ground up
with the flour, and the proportion is
about 25 per cent. Of corn to % per
cent. of wheat. Some use as high as
30 and 40 per cent. Of corn.
''But you ought not to be surprised
at this information the gentleman
continued "A few years ago when
the best quality Of wheat sold at 65
cents bushel laid down. you remem-
ber you paid about s2.75 per hundred
for good -four, and now with wheat at
1.l5, you are only paying about 1928
If they did not mix the wheat with
corn as they do, they could not sell
-four at any such prices as they are
selling it. Cant you see they can't?
II have no doubt, continued the
merchant, that if man wants to
buy pure -four: he can do it; but he
will have to pay away up yonder for
it; and then again, he will have to be
pretty good judge Of that article be-
fore he will be able to tell whether or
not he is really getting what he is
paying for.-Yorkcillc Enquirer.

Only a Fake.

McCoRMIcK, S. c., Feb. 2.-The
story Of the 100000 pesetas, said to
be buried on the property of Mr.. w.
\. Branch, at Mccormick, 5. c., as
published, excited much comment
around town yesterday. Some there
were who looked on it as confidence
scheme, while others, on the contrary,
believed it in toto. This latter class's
views may be summed up in remark
of one to reporter ''Well! If some
body wrote TO me that $50: 200 were
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 al fake, bunco.
steerer's dodge, a clever confidence
game, as the sequel proves.
Among those who read the story
was Mr.. W. I. Wilson, the undcrtak-
er, and a great light broke in upon
him at once.
He says that his father-in-law, Maj.
WI Gooding of Hampton, 5. c.,
had also received letter from the
military prison of Barcelona, signed
by Juan Basauta, 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 Mr.. Gooding's property and
and the exact spot would be given on
receipt Of 81 900.
The letter also enclosed certificate
from Sabalonga. governor (!9 Of the
military prison, as we'll as an item
lied bill from the young Ladies
College de La Paz. !" 1t was all there,
just as in Mr.. Branch case So the
clever scheme stands revealed in it's
true light-a fraud, pure and simple.
The matter for conjecture now is,
where did it originate? Is it an ema-
nation of some rascally Spaniard $
brain who once travelled this section,
or does it come from some confidence
man in gay. wicked New York! Ii
the latter, he must have confederate
in Spain, for not only were the let
tiers 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 ease, there is op-
portunity for good detective work.
Moreover. the end is not yet. Fur
ther developments may be confident
ly looked for.-ColumJia Register.
