Columbia is very expensive place
IN which to live. Rents are high, as
compared with most other places in

elsewhere and servants command
good wages. The experience of most
OF the State officials has been that,
unless they have other sources of in

This may seem strange, but the fact
ls that no Governor in recent Years
has been able to come out even on
his salary, and the salary Of Cover
nor is the best that is paid by the
State-$3,500. Of course there will
be plenty of mon who want the glory
of being elected Governor of this

The Lnte Corn.

My opinion is that 1t would pay
many farmers to build n cheap staye
silo and convert portion of their late
corn into silage this year, especially If
they have young stock on their farms
or can procure young stock at reason
able prices to feed this winter / am
not yet ready to say that it Is the best
for older CATTLE. e., feeding cattle
nor have any thoughts of saying that
1t is not good feed for them. / have not
yet proved that to my own satisfac-
tion. Through the college of agrieul-
ture we have been conducting expert
we expect to have some very interest
ing and valuable figures which will
come out in bulletin form when the ex-
pertinent is-fully completed. / would
not advise going to too much expense
in putting up permanent silo right Mt
the start, for the reason that what
will suit one farmer will not always
he applicable to his neighbor. and
therefore we must choose for ourselves.
My experience has been so far that |
am satisfied that the silo will be part
of the feeding apparatus for the ordi-
nary farmer in the future. think
there is no better way OF curing late
corn in q wholesale way for economic
al feeding than the old fashioned way
of cutting and shocking, and l would
consider it the next or second method
for curing late corn. Following this
comes the shredder, but this year there
has been such an abundance of rough
ness cut In the way OF clover and
grass that there will be no lack or
roughness, and practically all tie
barns are full of that kind of feed.
OF course shredded fodder should go
into the barn to be at It's best.--E. ID.

The First Ocean steamer.

The first steam vessel which crossed
the Atlantic ocean was under the
American flag and was named the
Savannah. The launching took place
in New York harbor on Aug. %, 1918,
and the first trip, began March %,
1919, was from New York to Savan-
nah, Ga, which was reached April 6.
She was advertised by her owner,
William Scarborough OF Savannah, to
make the ocean trip, starting May 20
and passengers We're advertised for.
None, however, was willing TO risk the
voyage. The vessel sailed May %,
reaching the Irish coast June 16. The
next day Lieutenant Bowin of the
kings cutter Kite boarded the ship,
thinking that because smoke was issu-
ing from her smokestack that the ves-
sci must be on fire.
Captain Rogers had charge OF her
during the voyage and afterward took
her to Copenhagen, st. Petersburg and
other foreign ports. The steamship
was built by Francis Pickett and had
a fuel storage capacity OF seventy-five
tons Of coal and twenty-five cords Of
wood, aud her wheels were so con-
structed as to be removable in stormy
weather

A WHISTLER STORY.
The Climax of Dinner In Honor OF
the Eccentric Artist.

the Eccentric Artist.
At the close of the case of Whistler
against Ruskin, the former, finding
himself very much in need of rest and
recreation, decided to make a southern
trip. When he arrived in Venice his
American friend thought to cheer him
by giving a little dinner in his honor,
TO which were hidden several friends
Of the artist, principally Americans
and some few Italians. During the
meal there arose a discussion which
left an opening for Mr.. Whistler to
use upon his host one of those keen,
lncisive, verbal thrusts peculiar to him,
which left wounds extremely difficult
to heal. The whole company was
startled, but the host merely smiled,
seeming to notice only the brilliancy of
the attack. Presently, however, the
dinner came TO an end and the foreign
guests took their leave Then the host
turned upon Mr.. Whistler and, in
voice trembling with suppressed anger,
said:
Jimmie, do you know that you bru-
tally insulted me tonightT'
yes" replied the artist thoughtfully
"Well," continued the host IL held
my temper while there were others
than our own countrymen present, but
do you know what l shall do If ever
you speak to me like that again?'
"What?"
I'll grab the nearest water bottle
and smash it over your head"
The rest of the company sat quite
still. horror and dismay in their hearts,
while their angry host glared across
the table at his antagonist. After a
few seconds Mr.. Whistler said in tone
of childlike innocence:
"Then know what I'll do. II! never
say anything like that to you again.

The rain was falling in torrents as
the congregation came out of the little
church at Auburn. Not a cloud had
marred the clearness of the sky when
the sexton pulled the time worn bell
rope to call the good people to service,
and it was not surprising that the6air
sex were arrayed in their smart spring
frocks and bonnets.
The women tucked up their skirts
and huddled together on the shallow
porch while the men made hasty dash
es through the rain to nearby homes
for umbrellas or TO the old fashioned
top buggies in which they had driven
to church. They returned laden with
protection of some kind for the frills
and founces.
