Feeding Young Birds.

Or rather giving food to an old bird
tor his young You have seen little
blind, naked, scra rawny--necked, new
ly-hatched birds in nest in the mid
die of May And you have shaken the
bush or tree, and seen the little naked
things stretch up their long skinny
necks and open their mouths wide, Un-
naturally wide, thinking that the
mother, or sometimes the father, was
about to drop worm down their
throats-a worm or, God knows, any
thing else. Well, we were empbatical
ly the old bird at the Lanham Spring
picnic on Thursday last. Our gener
Gus and beloved friends, Mrs. John
NJ. Mays and Mrs. D. T. Mathis
they have Inherited the custom from
their dear father and mother before
them-took Us with them to the dining
table, and seated US on bread basket
behind them, to feed US on biscuits
aud fried chicken, potato salad and
home pickle, jelly-cake and lemon-pie.
And no sooner were we seated and en-
deavoring to hide, when Eve hungry
girls came and stretched up their
necks.and opened their wide mouths at
US. They were named dear little Sal
lie Simkins and Raven Simkins and
Curran Hartley and Wigsall Cheatham
and David L. Adams. And as often
as the two generous ladies shook the
bush, which was ever and anon, the
five ravenous birds stretced up their
necks and gaped upon Us with their
voracious mouths. We we're very much
ashamed Of them, but still we had to
drop the worms down their throats
Nor did the supply ever give out. The
two generous ladies continued to shake
the bush, and the naked birds contin-
ued to distend their shameless jaws.
And in the..long run, the hungry bird
named Curran Hartley-who has never
yet opened her appealing mouth in
vain-got the last piece of lemon pie
her third piece. And we got none.
Well, alackaday, it is very often that
the old bird gets none. We have been
an old bird all our life-and open
mouths have always been gaping be-
fore us.-Col. Jas. 7. Bacon, in Edge
field Chronicle.

FREIGHT RATES.
Secretary Reardon Says no Com
plants Have Been Filed With
Chamber of Commerce.

Secretary Reardon of the Chamber
of Commerce says that the wholesale
merchants of Sumter have made no
complaint to him about high and dis
crlminative freight rates against the
merchants of this city. Had any of
them referred the matter to the cham
Der of commerce the matter would
bave been taken up long ago for ad-
justment. Some of the Sumter whole
sale merchants are members Of the
chamber of commerce, ell as was
members of the two most importan Mt
committees OF that organization viz
committee Oh TRANSFORMATION" and
committee on internal trade and ,im-
provements. - He will, however, i'm
mediately Investigate the complaints
referred to in the Daily Item, and will
refer the question to the proper COM
mittees at once. The chamber of
commerce is anxious to hear of any
Determinations against the merchants
of Sumter, wholesale CT retail, and
wants them all to report anv unjust
discrimination promptly. Some re-
quests were made to take up the ques
tion of improved schedules which was
promptly done and accomplished, and
efforts are now being made for addi-
tional freight and passenger trains
which will greatly improve trade con-
ditions in SHUTTER.

DID WI INSPIRE BOYCOTT'
Fx.Minister Wu ling Fang Beiicvc.'
to Have Instigated Chinese
Merchants

Washington, Aug 4.-The state de-
partment was today informed by
United States Consul Harris at Naga-
saki, Japan, that the Chinese mer-
chants there have decided to cooper
ate with those of Shanghai and other
Chinese cities in boycotting Amerl-
can goods.
While this is unimportant in itself,
the trade with Chinese at japanese
port being Insignificant. it is said at
the state department that it serves to
show the far-Jeaching extent Of the
movement and the earnestness OF the
feeling which is spreading not only
over the whole Chinese empire, but is
extended to every place i'll the East
where Chinese merchants deal in Am
erican goods. Although Uuited States
Minister Rockhill at Peking recently
sent word to the state department. that
the Chinese government would DO all
that it &C uld to prevent the spread OF
the boycott, the Chinese merchant
guilds are good deal more powerful
in this matter than the government,
and apparently nothing will appease
them except complete repeal OF the
exclusion laws of the United States.
Wu Ting Fana former Chinese min
ister in the United States, is believed
by many to be at tte bottom OF the
BOYCOTT movement. During the time
be was here Mr.. WI mad stenuous ef-
forts to have the Chinese exclusion
laws modified, but without success.
Since his return to China and since
the unpleasant experiences of tee
Chinese commissioners at the ST.
Louis Exposition, WI Ting Fang, it is
thought, planned the boycott to bring
the United States to terms.
