Two profits are derived from the
grain by feeding it on the farm-thc
feeding value and the manurial value.
When the grain is sold, the manurial
value Is completely lost and the farm

Is another profit connected with feed

IT'S POSTMASTER SHORE.
President Roosevelt Appoints his origi.
nal Nominee.

Mr. George D. Shore received noti-
fcation by telegraph last Wednesday
that President Roosevelt had reappoint-
ed him postmaster at Sumter and that
his appointment had been forwarded
by mail. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Shore was nominated for this
position by the president sometime
before congress adjourned and that the
senate did not confirm the appoint
ment. It was stated in this paper i'm
mediately after the adjournment of
congress that Mr. Shore would be
reappointed at an early date and
would take charge of the Office imme-
diately thereafter. The information
upon which this statement was made
is now proven to have been reliable.
Mr.. Shore will file his bond with
the least possible delay and he will
probably take charge Of the postofhce
within the next two or three weeks.
The appointment of Mr.. Shore is a
decided knock out for the old time
Republicans, for Edmund Deas and the
other leaders of the organization made
every effort to defeat him and it was
through their efforts that the nomina-
tion was held up in committee and his
confirmation by the Senate prevented.

The FLOOD REGEDEs.
The Loss Will Approximate Six
Million Dollars.

Keokuk, Ia, July 21.-The height
of the food in the Mississippi river
was reached today south of here. The
river fell an inch and half at
Koekuk today and the fall will reach
southern points by tomorrow. But
the rise of foot more in the vicinity
of Canton, Quincy, Lagrange and
Hannibal carried the water over thou
sands OF acres previously uninjured.
The highest water is between La
grange and Gregory, where the water
on Sunday was we'll below the rails Of
the st. Louis, Keokuk and Northwest
ern railway on the bank Of the river.
A food is pouring over the tracks to-
day and reaching to the steps of the
coaches. The roadbed is good and
trains are delayed only by slow run
ming through water.
Farmers report much greater loss
than before, but estimates approx
mating $1,000, 900 damage over Is
miles OF river frontage will not be
changed greatly.
The river here is full of debris.
South of here the hotsam includes
thousands of rabbits as passenger
on logs, pieces of houses and other
wreckage.

The Kings Insurance.
(Tip in New York Press. j

Over 10000 persons in Germany
are insured against illness. In Eng
land Just now the leading insurance
companies are considering the advisa-
bility of returning to what might be
called the Legitimate. - It has been
said time and again that if the King
had died last week the British COM
panies would have lost 500, 000 600.
That is an enormous sum, and the
statement is undoubtedly a gross exag-
geration. But it is a fact that the
compares issuing policies on his life
to Tom, Dick and Harry, in their own
interest, have been scared nearly out
of their wits. There is no such thing
in the United States as insuring a sec
ond person, and if such line of busi-
ness ever was thought of by our great
er leaders in insurance, the exceed
ingly narrow escape of the British COM
panies has chilled the notion. One of
the ablest insurance men in New York
tells me that our companies are too
wise ever to enter such field. Posi-
bly, he is wrong. If there is money
in it our companies will surely enter
it, and on scale so broad as will
cause British companies to gasp.

THE sElBOARD SPREADING out.
The Ohio River and Charleston
Has Been Bought by the Sea-
board it Will be Extended.

Baltimore, July 21.-An air line
from the Great Lakes to the South At
lantic seaboard is made possible by a
deal which has been practically con-
summated by the Union Trust Com
pany Of this city. The Union Trust
Company has Just completed arrange
ments to finance the extension OF the
old Ohio River and Charleston Rail
road from the coal fields of West Vlr-
ginia to Lincolnton, N. G.
1t has been decided also, it is under,
stood, to extend this road northward
to Ironton, where it will connect with
the Detroit Southern. Samuel Hunt,
president of the latter road is also
president of the Ohio River and
Charleston, which was recently taken
over by new company, known as the
South and Western.
At Lincolnton the road will connect
with the Seaboard Air Line, with
which company close agreements for
the interchange of traffic have been
made. The line will be the shortest
from the West Virginia coal fields to the
sea and If the extension to Ironton is
built, it will give the Seaboard an IN
dependent and short route to the
Great Lakes.

Major Jenkins in Office.

Columbia, July 21.-Maior Micah
jenkins arrived in the city today and
took immediate charge of the Office OF
internal revenue collector for the State
of South Carolina.
Inspector George Fletcher was
present and saw to the transfer of the
Office, books and papers that bad been

gins during the interim. Everything
was iii frst-cla shape and conse-
quently the transfer was simple
matter.
District Attorney John G. Capers
accompanied Major jenkins and was
in office during the morning.
Major Jenkins announced no
changes in the Office and said that he
had no announcements to make at this
time. He is attending to the work
of the office and has nothing to say.
Major Jenkins has the appointment
of everyone connected with his Office
for which he is responsible, except
J. H. johnson who is under the civil
service rules. This gives the appoint
ment of four clerks in tt. Office and
three division deputies
The office of internal revenue collec-
tor is one of the most responsible and
important in the Government service
in this State, and Major jenkins will
find a hearty welcome here, among a
people he so we'll knows.

The first work to be completed is a
stretch of several miles on the

of the week the famous Sanbar Ferry

famous dueling ground, will be taken
up and finished as far out as the Sa-
vannah river. Another order for A.

Mutual Farm Insurance.

Boston, July 21.-The managers of
the Grange Insurance Company are
much satisfied with. the success OF
their experiment thus far, though they
say that a trial of five years will be
needed before the system can be sald
to have been fully tested. The old
Mutual Insurance Company, which
did a local business in the northeast
corner of the State, is operating all
over the State, and it's activity is in
creasing. The manager of the COM
pany, Elmer D. Howe, of Marlboro,
who was former master of the State
Grange, and is now one of its execu-
tive committee, the business head Of
the concern, says that since the open
ing of the year the company has done
business averaging $1,000 per day.
The loss has been only SIT. The rate
Of insurance upon farm property is
about half the rate which is charged
by old-line companies.
Policies are issued only on farm
dwellings and outbuildings, and the
company does not compete at all for
city business in the way of insurirg
blocks. Only members Of the Grange
are admitted to the benefits of insur
ance in the Grange Company. Pay
ment for insurance varies according to
the amount of the policies, the situa
tion of the property, and the length of
the term for which the policy runs.
icy-holders are not required to
make payment in cash, but they give
what is called a premium note. They
are required to pay the interest on
these notes to meet the running ex-
penses of the company and to enlarge
the fund which is being accumulated
to meet losses. Should losses occur
requiring more money than is In the
fund, then the givers of the notes will
be assessed to meet the deficiency.
But in no case are they Liable for more
than the amount of their notes. Con-
sidering the liability of insurers in
other mutual FIRE companies, for an
amount equal to the sum OF their
policies, the Grange managers think
that they offer more favorable terms,
especially considering the low rate Of
insurance.
The Grange Company has an invest
ment committee to examine the risks,
and none but those of first quality are
taken. It is not the custom Of the
company to require collateral to be
put up with the notes which are given
by the policy-holders, but the inan-
cial standing of the applicant is look
ed into, and none but those who
satisfy the committee are accepted.
The managers of the company are not
boasting much of their success thus
far, but the beginning has been so
much more favorable than they had ex-
pected that they are feeling very hap
py over the situation. Thus far their
business has been confined to Massa
chusetts, but it may be extended to
other States, though it will be limit
ed to those persons who are members
of the Grange.

A $4,000 SUIT
To Prevent Consolidation of the
Carolina Properties of the

Charleston, July 21.-Papers in a
suit for S173, 900 damages have been
served here on officers Of the South
ern Railway by j. F. Maybank, Of
Charleston, with the idea of prevent
ing the consolidation of railroad prop
critics in this State. The documents
have not been put on record in the

been sent to the general headquarters
of the Southern Railway.
The railroad properties mentioned
in the suit are the Charlotte, Co1um-
iba and Augusta, the Asheville and
Spartanburg, the Carolina Midland
and the South Carolina and Georgia
Extension. It is alleged that the
Southern has acquired control Of COM
peting lines, which is contrary to the
laws Of South Carolina. The South
Carolina and Georga is the latest
property to be acquired by the South
ern, the others having been operated
by that system for some time.
