Feeding Green Cut Bone PAYS.

Mr.. A. F. Hunter who is one of the
regular contributors to The New Eng
land Farmer, not long ago said in the
columns of that paper: Feeding
fresh cut bones to fowls, to induce
abundant laying, has proved decid-
eddy profitable thing The bones are
rich in animal matter and contain lime
of which the egg shells are made, and
hens fed on fresh cut bone will lay a
larger number of eggs than if fed no
bone. Not only will they lay a larger
number of eggs. but the eggs will be
stronger bodied. will be better eggs
and if incubated will have better and
stronger chicks"

DEATH OF COL. w. J. BOWEN.

Col. W. j. Bowen. highly esteemed
old Patriarch Of York county, with a
long record Of substantial service to the
people of his community and state,
passed away at the home of his son.
Mr.. B. R. T. Bowen In Yorkville, yes
terday evening at 7.10 o'clock.
Col. Bowen was in very good health
up to yesterday morning. He suffered
a fall something over two years ago.
and as the result Of it was severely
crippled. He was not able to get about
after that with as much facility as for
merly; but his general health contin-
ued good and his mind retained its
alertness. His friends who visited
him frequently always found him in
teresting company. He ate a hearty
breakfast yesterday morning, and
seemed to enjoy 1t. He was stricken
with paralysis about two hours later
and never spoke again.
Col. Bowen was a native Of this
county, having been born on what was
then known as the Bowen place, about
five miles east Of Yorkvil!e, February
2S, 1918. He continued a resident OF
the county all his life and was never
absent only as a visitor except during

Tuesday, April "a, 1905.

the inspection was held In the armory.
Both officers expressed entire satisfac-
ton with the condition of the rifles and
other equipment, and with the appear
ance and number of men present.
There were thirty-seven men In ranks
and several excused, represented the
enlisted strength Of the company. At
the time Of the inspection a board Of
survey examined and condemned many
OF the uniforms, and these were
charged off as against the company,
and new articles will be issued In their
place. Col. Haskell made a short ad-
dress to the company, stating that In
his opinion 1t was only matter Of q
snort time until the men would ali be
supplied with olive drab uniforms such
as are now worn by the officers. He
thought this would be done before next
Thanksgiving day. He stated, also,
that the chances Of the militia of this
state attending ;the jamestown exposi-
ton In a body year hence were good.
He counseled the men to stick to their
company and attend the drills, that the
mi lila was improving every day and
cited the fact that the national govern
ment would this year increase the ap-
preparation for the militia to two mil
hons or dollars instead of one million
as heretofore. Colonel Fuller also
made few happy remarks, saying
that he was no speaker, but he felt
deep interest in the militia, and was
gratihed at the Improvement made in
the service since his connection with
It. Yorkville being the headquarters
OF the First regiment and also of the
Second battalion Of this regiment. Col.
Lrwis ard Major Moore and their
staffs were also inspected.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

THE shade trees are rapidly get
ting to their best.
THE present population of York
Vile, within the incorporate limits is
not far short of 5000. The proba-
bility is that an actual count would
show the real figures to be over
rather than under 5000.
- Last Saturday was an unusually
good day, especially for the dry goods
trade. Several of the dry goods peo-
pie say they had the best Saturday
they have known for months, and
trade has averaged up better on Sat
urday than on other days anyway.
In compliance with a telegraphic
request from Bishop Capers, sent out
to the Episcopal churches all over
the state last Saturday, collection
was taken in the church OF the Good
Shepherd on Sunday for the beneht

DIR. j. B. Bowen, the enterprising
proprietor of the York Drug Store, Is
putting in a new soda fountain which,
when complete, will be one Of the
handsomest things Of the kind In this
part Of the state. Compared with the
soda fountains to which Yorkville has
been accustomed, Ii Is tremendous. 1t
Is a beautiful creation of rosewood,
marble, plate glass, nickel, silver, gilt,
ETC., and takes up, counter and all,
floor space of 8x12 feet, and Is about
ten feet high. The fountain arrived
last Saturday; but unfortunately the
magnificent plate glass mirror, which
Is to be very attractive feature of 1t,
came broken in the car, shattered in
a hundred pieces. The fountain COM
plete represents an outlay Of about ST.
500. I'd the broken mirror alone Is
valued at something like $3.50.
The Jasper Light Infantry was in
spected on Saturday night by Col. E.
r. Fuller. u. S. A. retired, representing
the national government, and Colonel
Lewis Haskell the newly appointed
assistant adjutant and inspector gen.
eral, representing the state. Owing to
the day fixed for the inspection being
on Saturday and being busy season,

ORGANIZED RELIEF.

President Roosevelt on last Sunday
afternoon issued the following state
ment from the White House for the
benefit of people who desire to assist
the distressed people of San Francisco
but who may be in doubt as to where
to send their contributions
To the Public After full consultation
with Secretary Taft, the president OF
th, American National Red Cross as
sociation, who also as secretary of wal
Is controlling the army work and the
expenditure of all the money, probably
two millions and a half, appropriated
and to be appropriated by congress for
the relief of San Francisco, | wish to
make the following suggestions:
Contributions both in money and In
kind are being given most generously
for the relief of those who have suf-
fered through this appalling calamity.
Unless there Is a proper organization
for handling these contributions they
will in large part be wasted and Will
in large part fail to reach the very
neoDle whom 1t is most to be desired
thev should reach. The American Ma
tional Red Cross association has sent
ont to take charge of the relief work
at San Francisco DR.. Edward T. De-
vine. general secretary Of the Charity
Organization society Of New York,
whose experience has been very large
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-04-24

In work Of this kind. DR.. Devine will
work in conjunction with Judge Nor
row, United States circuit judge Of the
Ninth circuit and the head of the Cali
fornia Red Cross association. General
Funston has already been directed to
cooperate with DR.. Devine and has
advised the secretary Of war that he
will do so. Secretary Metcalf, who Is
on his way to the Pacific slope, Will at
once put himself in touch with DR.. De-
vine, as we'll as with Judge Morrow,
the governor of California and the
mayor Of San Francisco to see II there
Is anything else the administration
can do, and he will assist in all possi-
BILE ways in the effort to systematize
what Is being done. recommend that
all charitable and relief organizations
and individuals who desire to contri-
butte to do so through the Red Cross
association and that where provisions
and supplies are sent they be consigned
| to DR.. Devine, Red Cross, San Francis
CO, and that DR.. Devine be notified by
| telegraph Of the consignments. AT the
same time Mr.. Jacob H. Schiff, the
treasurer Of the New York Red Cross
association in New York, may be noti-
| fed that the consignments have been
sent to Dr. Devine, or else the notifi-
cation can be sent to Hon. Charles H.
Keep. assistant secretary OF the treas
ury. Washington, D. c., and treasurer
Of the American National Red Cross
association.
I also suggest that all contributions
that have already been forwarded be
brought to the attention of DR.. Devine
by telegraph, which telegram should
state name and address of the con-
signees and the amount and nature Of
the consignment. 1t Is better to send
all moneys to Mr.. Keep or Mr.. Schiff;
they will then be telegraphed to DR..
Devine as the money Is needed.

THE trial of Congressman Black
burn of North Carolina, on charges in
volving his official integrity in practic-
ing before the departments at Wash
ington for pay, which had been In
progress at Greensboro for several
days, came to a close last Saturday
with a verdict of not guilty. There had
been a great deal Of interest in the mat
ter throughout the state Of North Car
olina, especially Blackburn stood well
at Washington and being the only Re-
publican congressman from his state
was able to get lot Of pie for his
friends. The Republicans Of North
Carolina are badly split up in factions,
and Blackburn's influence became a
source of much jealousy. A number OF
disgruntled office seekers united in
charging him with selling his influence
for money and the case excited lots OF
interest. Judge Goff presided. After
all the evidence was in Judge Goff de-
cided that the case was a very fiimsy
one and that 1t was really an effort at
persecution instead Of prosecution.
He told the jury that If it should bring
in a verdict of guilty, he would not
hesitate to set it aside. and therefore
it would be just as we'll to find a yer-
dict of not guilty. The announcement
was greeted with applause in the
court room, and there was really little
effort on the part of the judge to main
tain order. Most of the Democrats of
the state are rejoicing with the friends
of Blackburn over the result Of the
trial and fair minded men generally
agreed that the outcome was as II
should have been.

THE p. =. D, QUESTION.

The Washington correspondent or
the News and Courier has the follow
ing to say of the R. F. D. service In
letter of last Saturday:
1t looks to be certain that the south
will again be the loser in the establish
ment of rural free delivery. A study
Of the figures on file at the postoftice
department shows that she Is now
away behind the other sections or the
country in the number of routes In
operation There are fewer petitions
from the south favorably acted upon
than from any other section or the
country, and a greater percentage or
reflections. There are also fewer routes
in operation per capita, too. There are
also fewer petitions delayed in consid-
Grafton in the other sections Of the
country than there are In the south.
On the whole the south has gotten the
beggar's portion in the distribution OF
free delivery. But that Is not the END
Of her hard luck in that connection,
but the beginning.
1t was hard enough to permit the 9TH
er sections to gobble up the lions share
in the first instance. but to come now
with a rule that will make something
like one-half of the routes In some or
the southern states tri-weekly instead
of daily routes will add to the infamy
Of the transaction. 1t has long been
the professed aim Of the postoffice de-
partment to give every citizen q daily
mail. Most Of them had gotten 1t un-
der the old postofflce system. Then II
was brought even closer In the shape
Of rural routes entirely, and placing
them oftentimes as much as ten miles
from their postoffice.
Some smart Alec in the postoftice de-
partment has now brought up the plea
that II Is too expensive to give daily
mail service on those rural routes
which do not deliver three thousand
pieces Of mail a month, and that tri-
weekly service should be substituted In
its stead. 1t Is safe to say that there
Is no commu1i in the entire country
that would prefer a tri-weekly rural
service to the old go-to-the-o office al
ter-your- system. And yet after
they have surrendered their old IA
cilities for something they thought was
better they are to be deprived OF just
one-half of their mail service. And II
is principally the south that will feel
the effects of the rule. A large number
Of the routes in southern states do not
distribute an average Of 5000 pieces or
mail a month The circulation OF
trashy papers and worthless literature
Is less in the south than IN any other
section, while the percentage of actual,
bona fide mail Is larger In the southern
states than in any other section or the
Hence, while the average
number of pieces Of real. actual, valua-
BILE mail Is as great on the average
