Profits of tho Packers.

There has been q great Zeal OF dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits Of the pack
ing industry only amount to about two
per cent. on the volume Of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government In 1900. before the agita-
ton regarding the "beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on a
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other industry In America. The gross
margin Of profit Of 871 flour and grist
mills in Illinois, In the census year.
was nearly seven per ce2:. on the vol
ume Of business. The gross margin Of
ffty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments Ill Illinois
was only about one-third as large, or 4
little more than two per cent on the
volume Of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in trust" and combina-
tions would seem impossible in bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but 1t ap-
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers arc larger than the gross profits OF
the packers. It may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: AL
squeal and no wool"

For the Summer Ct1t1ttage.

The willow porch and cottage fur
niture is unusually attractive this
year. Not only are the designs pleas
ing, but the colors are excellent and
in the greatest variety. Sealing-wax
red enamel is one of the favorites
this season. A set Of these red chairs
with round table to match would
be charming for tea on the lawn.
Huge red lawn umbrellas are also to
be had. No other color makes such
good appearance out of doors. The
combination of bright red, the green
OF the grass and the varying tones OF
the shrubbery and flower beds is
most delightful. Porch furniture In
general-that is, where the establish.
ment does not boast an army OF serv-
ants-should be waterproof material.
Bamboo is excellent. Porch swings
of this wood are rapidly superseding
the old fashioned hammock, which al
ways had to be taken In when
showers came. The swings are
rather expensive, but they can b,
made at home for very little, provided
some member of the household is
handy with tools. Waterproof cush-
ions and rugs are now among porch
conveniences.-New York Evening

Suicide at Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, Special.-Mr. A. Bon
ham Martin committed suicide We'd
nesday morning by drowning himself
in a little spring branch in valley
between North. Dean and North Con-
verse streets. He was found with his
face forced downward into seven inch
es of water. There was not the slight
est clue to indicate that the end of the
unfortunate man was other than self
planned, and no inquest was held over
his remains. Mr.. Martin was 54 years
Of age and his wife and four children
survive him. He was a native Of the
county, and lived at Martinsyille. He
had beer in failing health for some
time, and for the past four weeks had
been in the city for treatment. His
rash act is attributed to melancholia
and dependency occasioned by bad
health When found he was lying in
the branch in his night clothes. The
deceased boarded on North Dean
street, and this morning when SER
want went to call and see what the pa
tient wanted, he discovered that there
was no one in the room. A search
was at once instituted, which resulted
in the finding of the dead man. The
deceased left no note or message. The
body was carried to Martinsville, the
home of the deceased, for burial.

rived, Smith drew his pistol from a
show case and unbreeched it to see
whether or not it was loaded. He then
breeched it with a snap and the weapon
was discharged. the bullet plowing
along Smiths left thumb and forefinger
and striking Mr. Little in the abdomen
just below the ribs on the left side.
He was at once removed to his home
and several physicians were summon
ed. The full extent of his injuries are

neither the bowels or bladder are pune
tured, which, If true, makes the cnan-
ces of his recovery better.

Marketing rotato Crops

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his hook
OH Railroad Transportation, is the case
of The Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com-
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest Of
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers OF
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop aggrega ing annually eight to
ten million bushels which find mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap Writer
transportation from Maine to, .aN points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates)o on these pota.
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put of the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through DETROIT and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago fayoring sun and
rains brought tremendous yield OF
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been glut of the customary mar
kels aud the potatoes would have rot
ted OH the farms. To help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates on
potatoes to every reacDable market,
even carrying them in large quantities
to a place so remote as Boston. The
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
rrice on their potatoes and even then
could not dispose Of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its
already low rate, which it did. By
mt.,.ls of these low rates, making pos
siv.e low prices, the potato crops of
both Michigan aud Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody cats potatoes,
aud that year everybody had all the
potniocs lie wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads. had they been applied to
the movement Of all potatoes at al.
times TO all places, they helped their
ma irons TO find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered de.
crease in its revenue from potatoes,
but II enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby. to
obtain money which they spent Tor
the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. If the making
of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that If
rate be once reduced by q railroad
comnany it cannot be restored through
the red tape of Governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and the
Boston & Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental limitation
they would have felt obliged to Eeep
=up their rates as do the railroads OF
France and England and Germany un-
der Governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot-Exchanse.

Bucksport, on the Waccamaw river,
and the plant will be erected and put
Ito operation at an early date.
The capacity of the mill will be about
10000 pounds of pulp per day, to be
increased shortly to 100000 pounds per
day and will employ approximately
$50 hands The Richardson Cypress
Lumber and Shingle Company is 10
Gated at Bucksport and the owners OF
this plant has been mainly instrumen-

business, which will be of important
benefit to this port.
