of blackmail or by gross incompe
tency," The committee recommends,
Biennial apportionment of deferred
dividends.
The repeal of retaliatory tax laws
and valued fire policy laws.
That each state shall have fir,
marshal.
The United States to forbid the us'
of the mails by wild cat insurance

Wilson returned yesterday from au
extended trip through the west and
northR vest. He inspected personally
many i1eat packing plants in the va
rious cities he visited, making it a
point always to call at the plants of
given city without previous notice
In a majority of instances the sec
rotary found the plants in good SAM
tary condition. The packers every.
where, he learned, were disposed To
meet all requirements of the law
without bubble or protest, their de.
sire being simply to learn definitely
what was expected Of them by the
government. By the first Of October,
when the inspection OF domestic pro-
ducts will take effect, the secretary
believes a majority Of the packing
plants win have completed their ar.
rangements for a fun observance Of
the provisions of the new law.

WhN Not Cattle2

In concluding their report to the de-
partment of agriculture as to agricul-
tural conditions in York county,
Messrs. Drake and Belden of the bu-
reau of soils, make. the following OBJ
servation:
The present markets of York county
are limited mainly to the handling OF
cotton. The production of all the other
agricultural products now grown, or
which might be grown, depends simply
on the local demand or the demand or
the nearby larger southern cities.
While there Is probably sale for more
fat cattle, sheep, and hogs than are now
produced, the facilities for handling
these locally are wanting and do not
permit of any great increase along
these lines. The establishing of a first
class packing house within the borders
of South Carolina, insuring certain
and constant market for live stock,
would do much to encourage the live
stock industry, so badly needed to work
Improvement in the present system OF
agriculture. This matter Is believed TO
be worthy the attention of loca CAPT.
talists.
Although we confess that we have
not previously given this subject
great deal of thought, we are impressed
with the idea that there is good sug-
gestion here.
OF course, where one considers the
tremendous advantage of the big pack
ing houses of the middle west in long
establishment capital, experience and
fully developed trade, he can harbor
but small idea of successful competi-
ton in the markets of the world; but
after all would not a southern packing
house have certain important advan-
tages?
Because of the absence of packing
houses, or at least one big packing
house down this way. there is virtually
no market for cattle and hogs. OF
course, there is some sale; but the
prices are not up to the prices paid by
the big packing houses and for a long
time local packing house would have
much advantage in the price of raw
material.
The value Of cattle for agricultural
purposes is becoming more and more
realized throughout this part of the
country and it is a fact that an in
creasing number of farmers are begin
ming to keep cattle almost alone on ac-
count of their manure. They calculate
that on this account, they can be made
profitable in many cases, even if they
should eventually have to be marketed
at merely nominal price.
Under conditions that are now de-
veloping it would seem that a big
packing house somewhere in this state
would be the very thing not only as
money maker for those who under
take the enterprise; but for the agri-
cultural interests of the state as well.

related of Sharp, the English bucca-
neer, who landed there during Selkirk's
sojourn between the years of 17O4
and 1909, that, on being pursued by
caravel sent out by the governor OF
Valparaiso, he left behind in his
haste a black who became Selkirk's
companion and the prototype of Cru
soe's man Friday. This is probably
a myth Indeed the true source OF
the entire plot of Defoe's tale may
possibly be looked for in a Crusoe
legend of undoubted antiquity, which
is the inheritance of many peoples.
The island was later successfully
made into a Spanish fort, Chilean
convict station, and finally, until the
Valparaiso earthquake, a hamlet OF
peaceful inhabitants was situated in
its valley. Juan Fernandez lies some
$50 miles west of Valparaiso, and the
report of it's destruction is at least
temporarily admissible from the fact
of the volcanic origin. Tales have
been told of light emanating from
one of the loftier peaks, which rose
in inaccessible grandeur TO height
of 5000 feet above the sea. Exami-
nation Of the stratified tufa, old lava
formations, and greenstoe, of which
it was composed, seemed TO show
however, that the mountain must
have been long quisscent.

THERE is some merit in the purposes
of the Carnegie reform movement;
but that the movement will ever be a
success is very doubtful. 1t is a pity
perhaps that the early architects of the
language were not able to foresee Its
through all time. Had
they been able to do so the thousands
of books and manuscripts Of the past
would have been written in uniformity
with present day ideas. But inasmuch
as the early architects were not able
to foresee the embarrassing contingen-
cies that have since arisen, 1t will be
a rather awkward matter to reproduce
all the old books and papers that carry
the record of the worlds development
and progress up to this time, and we
have an idea that Notwithstanding the
presidents pronunciamento people Will
be slow to adopt the new mode Of
spelling.
