SMALL BILLS ARE SCARCER
Dwindling in Number of One and Two
Dollar Certificates Owing to Ex-
haustion Of Silver Bullion.

WashingtOn.-The treasury Depart
ment is having a difficult time in filing
orders from national banks for one and
two-dollar bills. The volume of free
currency of these denominations has
been dwindling at very rapid rate dur
ing the last four or five months, and is
now so small that it is necessary to limit
the number that may be doled out to the
banks. !,
The shortage of money Is charged by
Treasurer Roberts against the exhaus-
ton of the silver bullion. AS is gener-
ally known, silver certificates of small
denominations are issued against coined
silver dollars, the latter being stored
away in the treasury vaults as guaran-
tee for the paper money. When con-
gress stopped the purchase of silver bull
lion for this purpose there remained in
the possession. of the government ire
mendous amount Of the uncoined metal.
This has been gradually used from
month to month since, but practically
the last bit Of it was coined in February
of this year, when the minis turned out
&C, 900 standard silver dollars. That was
the last time any addition was made to
the volume Of circulating currency in
the most popular form OF money-tho
one and two-dollar bills.
At the beginning of every days bust
ness Treasurer Roberts examines the re-
port of the number Of free silver dollars
on hand. He then tells the cashier how
many silver certificates may be shipped
during the day. and this limit is rigidly
adhered to. 1t frequently happens that
national banks will have their applica-
tons for addition notes cut in half.
Sometimes their demands are honored
in full.

BLACKLIST FOR HOTEL MEN
Propristors Of Pennsylvania Hostel
ries Claim They Lose Heavily
from Dishonest Patrons.

Philadelphia movement for mu
tual protection OF interests among the
hotel men Of the state were set on foot
at a special meeting Of the Peunsyl'
vania State Hotel association in this
city recently.
Some Of the things 1t is proposed to
institute are blacklist for "hOtel
BEATS" another blacklist for dishonest
or drunken employees, and county asso-
Citations, similar to the state organiza-
ton. to look after local interests.
In the way Of legislation it was de-
cided to prepare bill for presentation
to the state legislature which will pro-
vide for uniform Interpretation of the
license law in all counties of the state.
The decision to form q blacklist of
"dead-beat patrons" was the outcome
of comparison of worthless checks
and drafts by the members. Every
man in the meeting had at least one
worthless check or draft that had been
passed on him by some one Of his
guests. .& =
Charles e. Federman, the secretary.
counted them all up and announced
that the hotel proprietors in the state
had been mulcted for more than $780,
900 by this kind of thieves in. the last
year.
Federman was authorized to prepare
the system Of blacklisting. Each pro-
prietor who loses money by entertain
ing a dishonest guest will at once
write, giving name and description Of
the man, to the secretary Of the asso-
citation, who will In turn notify every
other member of the association.
If the swindler is caught he will be
prosecuted at the expense Of the asso-
citation. The same method will be taken
in the case of dishonest employees.

and member of the Royal Academy Of
Science, and two colleagues, DR.. G. Won
Hornbostel and DR.. o. Pfungst, have
ended months of experiments with Won
sOsten's horse Hans. They find that the
secret of the animals replies is In his
powers of observation. which enable him
to perceive while he looks at his ques-
toner the instant he has reached cor
rect answer. Thus they found the horse
was unable to tap out correct answer
to question when the person putting 1t
did not know the answer-for example,
"How many persons are in the group
behind met" 49,.
III The Questioner, not looking himself,
did not know the number, and Hans was
unable to give correct reply. The
horse was not able when wearing blink
ers to calculate or perform the simplest
counting.
DR.. stumpf does not doubt tho good
faith Of Won Osten, but he concluded that
the horses long training had taught him

CROP BULLETIN.
What Director Bauer Says About
Oropa tho Paae Eaek

The week ending Monday, May 1st,
had practically normal temperature.
Though the first of the week was
cooler than usual, the last few days
we're very warm, with maximum tenn
peratures above 80 dsgrees on the
10th.
There were rains on the Goth, 9th
and Goth, with hall in a few places,
and destructive high winds in Union
and Saluda counties. The precipita.
| tion averaged somewhat over an inch
for the State, though many places re-
ported less than an inch, but over the
entire State enough moisture was sup.
piled for the present need OF all crops
and for terminating recently planted
seeds. There were excessive rains ia
the central and eastern counties that
delayed teamwork from one to three
| days, but, as a rule, the precipitation
was needed and proved very benef-
cial.
Flowing and planting were inter
rupted, but made fair progress with
the soil generally in excellent condi-
tion. Cotton planting is more than
three-fourths finished, and early plant
ings are coming up to good stands;
some cotton has been chopped in the
eastern counties. There has been
some replanting done in the central
counties where the nights have been
too cool. Corn planting is now con.
fined to bottom lands, and generally
to the western counties. Early corn
has good stands but is being severely
damaged by cut and bud worms, me-
cessitating considerable replanting.
The corn that was cut down by the
recent frosts Is coming out again and
will not need to be replanted. Elrly
corn is being cultivated.
The wheat crop is being damaged
by the fly in several northwestern
counties, but is otherwise promising

Bucket Shops and Exohanees.

Before the Supreme Court at Wash
ington the other day Judge Crumpack-
er boldly asserted that the Board OF
Trade OF Chicago was nothing better
than an institution established for the
promotion OF gambling. He was de-
Tending the bucket shops in a case
that Is now pending against them,
and he did so by declaring that there
was no essential difference between
them and the large institution of the
country in which commodities and
securities are dealt in on margin. He
ridiculed the contention that an ac.
tuai delivery of grain is contemplated
when there Is purchase or sale of
wheat or corn In the pits at Chicago.
He admitted that some actual sales
take place, but he declared that the
boards of trade Of the country could
not be maintained except for the tran.
sactions Of q purely speculative nature
that took place In them. He did not
deny that bucket shops are places
where gambling pure and simple.
goes forward, but he ala contend that
their transactions are Identical with
majority OF those engaged in by the
members OF the legitimate exchanges
In either instance he contended that
the so called business done was bet
ting, nothing more and nothing less;
and he could not gee why any legal
hair splitting should be done about
the matter. In commenting on the
position taken by Judge Crumpacker
The News and Courier says IF the
Supreme Court shall now hold with

In Memory OF Timrod

Tie State is urging the Columbia
Literary Association to change the
name OF the library to "The Timrod
Library. With no intention OF in.
terfering in a local matter, we hearth.
ly endorse the suggestion Of The
state. 1t would be a graceful and
deserved compliment to the memory
OF south Cardinals sweetest singer,
who, we confess with shame, was not
appreciated during life as he should
have been. No man can read the
poems and odes OF the gifted Timrod
without being better man for hay-
Ing communed with his sweet spirit.
In perpetuating the memory OF such
man as llery Timrod the Columbia
Library Association would be per-
forming an act in keeping with the
objects of Its organization.
