SHIPMENT Of ROASTING EARS.
A Sumter County Farmer Realized $3.50
From an Acre.


There is money to be made in ship
ping green corn to market, and Mr. N.
A. Ray, of Americas, has found it out
and is thus disposing of portion of
his corn crop.
He has shipped more than half a
car load of roasting ears.
Yesterday his farm wagons hauled
to the railroad track nearly four thous-
and ears of corn for shipment.
Altogether he has shipped to Allan
ia quite recently six thousand, or FIVE
hundred dozen ears, for which he has
received 80 cents per dozen, or a sum
total of about $50.
A pretty good sum for lot of green
corn, to be sure.
Mr.. Ray had the corn gathered and
it was loaded into freight car right
in his big corn field, two miles above
the city. There was no Grating OF
boxing.
The only expense attached to the
shipment was the freight on bulk corn
which was not considerable.
AS this amount of corn can be grown
upon an acre, or acre and half Of
land. it will be seen that Mr.. Ray has
good thing in the corn business.
Few farmers can net $3.50 per acre
on an ordinary corn crop here.-Amer

The president of the United States
receives "a salary of $4,000 year, his
house free, and includes the heating
and lighting. The grounds are cared
for, his conservatory is filled with
flowers and the gardener who cares for
it is. paid by the government. The
only servants whose wages the presi-
dent is called upon to pay are his own
personal ones, for the doormen, mes
sengers, clerks, and in fact every one
connected directly or indirectly with
the executive department are of course

for his horses and his stable is the
property of the government There
are other allowances, and taken all in

BRAVE PHILIP IS DEAD.
His Famous Command in the Naval Battle
at Santiago.

His Famous Command in the Naval Battle
at Santiago.
The death of Rear Admiral Philip OF
the Brooklyn navy yard will cause re-
greet throughout the land. Philip was
commander of the battleship Texas in
the naval engagement at Santiago
and was one of the true heroes of the
war.
1t was this brave officer who, when
his sailor boys began to cheer as the
Almisante Oquenno was heachcd and
blown up, gave the famous command
"Don't cheer, boys, the poor devils
are dying"
1t was Philip, too, who called his
men upon deck after the battle was
over and said to them: 81 want TO
make acknowledgements today that |
believe in God, the Father Almighty,
and Iwant you all, officers and men,
ITO give silent thanks to Him for our
bloodless victory"
1t is probable that more touching
scene was not witnessed during the
Spanish war than that in which the
rough sailors of the Texas joined their
old captain in that prayer of gratitude,
and certainly nothing occurred to show
his heorlc qualities more plainly.
May the spirit of the brave old sail
or rest in peace

A HALT CALLED.
A Strong Condemnation Of McKinIey's PoIi-
cy towards China.

cY l0WdfQS Cfinas
The Philadelphia Times calls halt
on ;hc Mckinley administration in the
policy it is pursuing with reference to
China as follows:
Every true American will read the
story of the slaughter of our marines
at the gates of Pekin with indignation
and rage, not against the Chinese,
who are defending their country from
invasion and fighting to maintain the
integrity of their soil from the spolia-
ton by the great powers of Europe,
but against the administration at w ash
ington, which has unlawfully, by an
act of imperial usurpation, sent Amer-
lean troops to make war on for ign
country.
The Chinese, in opposing with all
their might the soldiers of the powers
who are invading their counJry on the
pretense of defending their citizens
from a mob, are doing just what
we or any other civilized nation would
do. At various times the lives of citi-
zens of other countries have been sac
rifced TO mob fury in is country, but
had King Hulnbert, Emperor Francis
Joseph or Kaiser William sent an
army here to defend or protect his
subjects we would have killed every
man that he landed, and it would not
Il Init
We have no more right to send troops
to China than Queen Victoria has TO
send her soldiers to St. Louis ii Eng
lishmens lives are imperiled in riots
there: but if it were necessary to de-
clare war on China the president has
no authority to do it,
We can have and will have no part
in the partition of China. We have
no business there. England has sent
her troops and warships there TO pre-
vent Russia from getting too great an
advantage, and the administration at
Washington is helping England in
pursuit of some actual or implied
agreement. This is humiliating
enough. but worse still is the fact that
in doing this the president has COM
mitted an act of outrageous usurpation
which would be indefensible in con-
stmutiOnal monarchy and is worthy
only of the Gar of Russia or the Shah
of Persia For no greater otfense
against constitutional government
George Ill lost an empire and Charles
l. his head.
No matter what Mr.. Mckinley smo-
tives may be. his usurpation OF the
prerogatlves of congress cannot be too
Quickly or too strongly condemned. Ii
he can override the constitution under
anv pretense whatever without being
called sharply to account any other
presidenC can do the same anu send
troops iuto any foreign country, in
volve us ia war, just or unjust, over
riding the liberties of the people and
paving the way for the overthrow Of

slain in China is on his head, and the
American nation will demand reckss

SHAVING DEAD MEN
Barbers Get S5 for Work Which
 Sometimes Tests the Nerves.

F,w men have. while occupying place on top Of terra fiTnI, ply-d 8 fJr shave. bus many dead men have contributed each that price t1 have their faces put in pres, nsaOle aprear- ance for that ceremony al the church, where slow music and flowers aal tears are usually the chief features. Why, I've made a let of mon shaving stiffs," remarked a colc-ed barber yes terday. Sometimes. during tia busy season I've had as many as three in a day, and I always get five plunks apiece. l used to be superstitious about it and wouldn't shave a dead man. but five bOnes each was too mus T for me and I've got enough for shavin' stiffs h buy hous= and lct. First ons l shaved was pretty hard work. I dlin't want to do it, but money was scarce and I needed 1t bad, 30 l scared up rcrve and went after it. My hand was elakin' pretty bad wh n I got out my razor. and when l put the latler on the face and went to rub 1t in I uhougnt I'd pass up the job. I'd brought along d bottlc If rye. though. and when no- body wasn't lookin' l took a big swig and felS Sbetter. My hand was so ner- vous that I cut him pretty bad. but nobody knew the diff renee. There are a lot of the colored oarbers here who won't shave a stiff. and some f 'em almost have nervous prcstratiOn when any one mentions shavin' one of the dead onss."
 According to the barbers it is some times very difficult matter to shave a dead man. After death the skin be- comes 1abby and the hair hard, and af- tsr emhalming, the skin. when pulled up by the barber's fingers, does not go back into plac- and must be smoothed out as best the barber can.
