Stock Food swindIe-A Warning to Farmers.

The Raleigh Progressive Farmer
sounds'a note of warning to the farm
ers of the South about what it calls
the stock food swindle. 1t says that
one of the most outrageous frauds
now being perpetrated upon the
American farmer is that of prepared
stock foods-common meal, bran,
etc., with little cheap sulphur, salt,
Epson salts, pepper, saltpeter, etc.,
added to change the taste, and the
mixture (hardly more valuable than
ordinary ship stuff) put up in fam
ing packages, advertised in big illus
trated ads in farm papers, and sold
to gullible farmers at from $3.50 to
$4,000 a ton. The Progressive Far
mer says further, that some time ago,
the chief Southern contributor of
one of the farm papers most largely
circulated in North Carolina and ad-
joining States, wrote an exposure of
the whole miserable fraud and sent
it to his paper. The reply came
back "The Blank Stock Food Com
pany pays US $4,000 a year for ad-
vertising, and we would lose it if we
were to print your letter. Please
don't insist" 1t is quite proper
that while the patent medicine nos
trums are getting drubbing, the
stock food humbugs should be ex-
posed, and this The Progressive Far
mer proposes to do. If the frauds
are of the nature complained of, we
hope the exposure will be of such a
nature as to protect the farmers
against them.-Charlotte Chronicle.

"The Calendar Plan" to Build a Church.

A scheme has been devised in Ark
adelphia, Arkansas, to build church
on what is called "the calendar plan"
One man is appointed and called the
year. He is to give $500. That
man is to find twelve other persons
who will give $500 each, and they
are called the months. These twelve
persons are to appoint four other
persons each, who are called the
weeks, and who are to give $3.50
each. These four persons are to APP
point seven other persons each, who
are called the days, and who are to
give $50 each. In this manner it is
proposed to raise $12,700. A splep-
did way to raise money.

The History Of Arlington.

In a recent edition of The News
saw question asked by some one
who wished to know whether the
Lee family were ever in any way re-
imbursed for the loss of Arlington,
the. stately old home of Gen. Robert
4. Lee, now used as a national
cemetery.
The history of Arlington since
1861 is briefly this: AT the begin
ming of the Civil war Col. Robert E.
Lee resigned his Federal position
and went with his family to Rich
mond to assume command of the
Virginia troops, and later to become
commander-in-chief of the Confede-
rate forces. His abandoned home
was Immediately occupied by the
Federal army, the mansion being
used as headquarters and the sur
rounding hills as camping grounds.
The mansion was afterwards turned
into a hospital, and al the instance
of Gen. Meigs the beautiful grounds
came to be used as burial place for
soldiers who fell around Washington
and in Virginia.
In 1864 the estate was sold for
taxes and bought by the Government
for S26,1OO. In 1877 George Wash
ington Curtis Lee established his
rightful claim to the property through
the courts and the matter was salts.
factorily arranged upon the payment
to him of $150,0OO by the Govern
ment.
Though now dedicated to the use
of the nation, every leaf and twig is
redolent of the life and history of
our own Gen. Lee, and it is fitting
reward and tribute to the greatness
of the man that, besides the many
Southerners who go for his good
sake alone, even those who visit Ar
lington with other motives than to
learn of him, are visibly taught and
reminded at every turn of the death
less warrior of the South. Nellie B.

this afternoon on her way to her

Prohibition In GreenviIIe.

The following, taken from the Green.
vile Daily Herald recently, shows that
conditions have greatly improved since
the dispensaries were voted out:
~ haven't seen drunk man nor a
man half way intoxicated to-day said a
police officer last night at midnight.
Yes, l can see all the difference in the
world since the dispensaries were closed, >
answered he in response to the question
of Herald man. Other officers on
duty last night expressed like opinion.
There were but one or two drunk per-
sons locked up last night, when there
were usually dozen or more before the
dispensaries were closed. The streets
were thronged yesterday afternoon and
the absence of drunkenness was con-
spicuously noticeable.
"This condition has created wide COM
ment. On Monday in municipal courts
there are seldom more than four or five
cases, when before the dispensaries were
closed tbirty-five cases were not at all
unusual. The police records show these
facts.
"The police department has been res
lieved of much unpleasant duty since the
were closed and the absence
of drunks has become marked"
We call the attention of our prohibi-
tion friends in those counties still cursed
with dispensaries to the above statement,
with the hope that they may be encour-
aged to take the proper steps looking to
an election to vote out the dispensaries
and thus decrease drunkenness and law
lessness.- Courier.

Paying the Parson.

There was a wedding party in
East Washington the other evening
at which the bridegroom is said to
have "queered" himself, to the morti-
fication of his new wife and her rela-
tives. The marriage ceremony was
performed in the parlors of the min
ister, as the young man declared he
was averse to public displays in such
matters. After the preacher had
pronounced the twain husband and
wife the bridegroom handed him a
SIS bill and then remained in an atti-
tude of waiting.
"Come on, David, said the new
wife impatiently, as the young man
continued to follow the minister
about the apartment, "What in the
world are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for my change, of
COURSE" was the reply.
"How much did you hand the
preacher?" asked the wife.

Money Due Liquor Houses Held Up.

Columbia, February 24.-There is a
great big bunch of money being held up
by the investigating committee on bills
due to liquor houses for supplies bought
prior to the passage of the recent act.
The committee wants to examine the
books of houses holding claims against
the dispensary to see what sort of prices
the dispensary paid for it's liquor and all
that sort of thing.
The liquor houses have sat still in the
boat and waited and the dispensary COM
mittee has held on to the money. r.
Moultrie Mordecai, of Charleston, who
represents most of the creditors of the
dispensary, has arranged to have con-
ference here with the sub com mittee to
find out exactly what the committee
wants and how to have his clients COM
ply with the wishes of the committee, if
they can do so.
There is whole bunch of money in
volved in this procedure-more than half
million dollars in the cold awaiting the
O. X. of the dispensary committee, and
there are likely to be some interesting
developments.
At all events preliminary conference
will be held here next week between
Messrs. Hay, Lyon and Christensen and
Il. Moultrie Mordecai, representing
many of the creditors of the dispensary.

Brice Act In Supreme Court Again.

Columbia, March 1.-The Brice
Act is to 60 to the Supreme Court
again, this time on writ of certio-
rari from the finding of the State
board of canvassers in the Laurens
county case.
The State board yesterday after
noon threw out all objections to the
election in Laurens being declared
against the dispensary and sustained
the position of the county board of
canvassers. The State board took
the position that the alleged irregu-
larities were not sufficient to vitiate
the election, and on the authority of
an opinion from Assistant Attorney
General Youmans, decided that the
point the dispensary attorneys raised
as to the Brice Act being abortive
to canvass special as well as regular
elections was left out of the Code of
1902, was not well taken. Attorney
Welsh, representing the dispensary
interests, will move for an order
from the Supreme Court this week
to have the record of the case as
presented to the State board certi-
fled to the higher court, 80 as to give
the latter chance to pass upon the
points raised. In the meantime the
Laurens dispensaries will be kept
open. They were voted out in De-
cember. Mr. Youmans' position was
that to throw out the a6t of 1896
because it had not been included in
the Code would make the Brice Act
abortive, which decision would be
contrary to the former position taken
by the Attorney General himself that
these dispenssry elections are to be
conducted in the same manner as the
general elections are conducted.

The Value OF Eys.Tssth.

1t is mighty nice thing to have
your eye-teeth QUITO be con the
ropes"-to be "wise." About year
ago the editor of this paper felt in a
jocular mood and answered an in
investment brokers' advertisement
in an Eastern magazine. We ex-
pected some bond or manufacturing
propositions, and felt hurt and in
dignant upon learning that we were
expected to put money into gold
mine. They had evidently mistaken
us for fresh one. For several
weeks letters continued coming, urg-
ing us to take little stock in the
Bland Mining Company, "Bound to
DC one OF tine best money-making
propositions in the United States,"
etc. Circulars with outs showing
the ore in huge stacks and millions
Gin sight" never faxed us. We re-
member incidentally figuring on the
money we could make by investing
81 900 in the 15-cent stock, if it in
creased in valuation which the pro-
ducers "knew" was coming material
ized-but we only figured. We felt
that what money we had to throw
away should be SHE'D at preachers
and orphans. And the investment
brokers finally caught on that we
were "next," and quit sending us
their literature, and in the rush of
money making, friends and reputa-
ton we forgot the whole business.
But how strange things do turn out.
BY some hook or crook gold was
struck in the Bland diggins' and the
price of stock advanced from Is
cents to $14 per share. 1t is little
painful to think that if we had in
vested that $1,000 instead of Just
figuring it, we would have been some
100000 ahead, but, really, what
could man who is "wise" need
with that much money ?-Granite

IIIiteracy Decreasing.

According to a bulletin recently
issued by the Census Bureau, about
LOG persons out of 1000 in the
United States over ten years of age
are unable to write. This is equiva-
lent to about one in ten. Of the ma
tive white population, only forty
six out of every 1000, or fewer than
one in twenty, while of the foreign
born 128 out of every 1000, and of
the negroes 445 out of every 1000,
are illiterate. In 1890 the number
of illiterates for each 1000 was 1873
for the total population, 60 for the
native white population, 13O for the
foreign born white, and SOS for ne
groes, Indians and Mongolians.
There is therefore reason for salts
faction in the statistical evidence
that illiteracy is steadily reducing.
