q defective chimney in tho ell
part of the house of II. NJ. Nichols in the
Camp Mills district about IL o'clock this

wound while coon hunting in Putnamsville
Is still alive Although he has bled con-
siderably from the lungs and Is in very

recover. DR.. Chandler who attended the
man. is OF the opinion that a part of the
charge did not enter his body. None OF
the mans ribs have been found to be frac-
tured and but three or four of the shot
entered his lung. The most OF the shot
went under the skin and muscles up TO
the shoulder and plowed fr1ghtful fur

pany. Of Nashville. Illinois. request
ing them to urge the Representatives
from this State to vote for the %Icarcc
bill, and We would suggest that the
commercial bodies of Charleston, and
OF other Southern cities, Join in Il
movement to secure the passage of Il
law which is in the interest Of honest
dealing and Of the public health. The
Hugely Company say in their letter
we believe in being honest in all
things, in the making Of a barrel Of
Hour, as well as in all other things.
1t cannot be denied that the adultc-
ration of wheat flour with corn flour
and glucose starch has injured, We
might say, l,aralyzcd, Legitimate mill
ing Competent authorities place the
amount Of adultcratcl flour at 1000
600 barrels, which has been sold this
crop year, principally in the Southern
markets.
Aside from the fraud r"rprtratcd
III the consumer, it has been demon
stratcd by the chief Of Government
chemists, that the adultcration of
wheat flour with corn -four and starch,
detcri0ratcs it in one of its best quail
ties and is injurious to the health.
'lf something is not done to stop
this fraudulent practice. it will grow
larger, and we have no doubt the
wheat flour, OF which every American
has been proud, will lose its higl,
reputation in the markets Of the
world
No honest miller or dealer would
object to the proposed legislation. 1t
does not prohibit the authorization Of
wheat flour, but il requires that it
shall be sold only for what it is.
Those who prefer it because it i.
cheap will not be prevented from buy
ing it, but they will buy it for what it
is, and not for what it has claimed to
be. The manufacturers Of olemar-
garinc arc compelled to sell their stuff
as o~lcmaigarinc, and not rs butter,
and 50 it should be with orr flour
and glucose starch adultcrants, which
have been sold as pure wheat flour.
1t is said that four million barrels
Of adultcratcd flour have been sold
this crop year, and that the greater
part of it has been sold in the South
crn markets. We can we'll believe it.
We have absolutely no protection
against such frauds. and
whatever is set before Us, asking no
questions. Western meats. which
could not be sold in the civilized parts
at the country, arc dumped into the
South by the train-load. and the
swindling millcrs of the West have
found willing or ignorant victims in
the South. We could raise all the
meat and produce all the -four that we
require for our own use. but we pre-
