a few of the boxes will be affected,

which there are about dozen. The
new rates for rent are based on a scale
which takes into consideration the
kind of box. the size Of box, and the
business Of the respective pOstOfIices

ply unfairly in many places.
The increase here for the larger
boxes will amount 10 90 cents a Quar-
ter. the new rental price being s. as
against $3.50 heretofore.

quarter is ended, and notification be-
ing give to the postmaster whether the
box will be wanted the next quarter
or not Heretofore box renters have
been given the first ten days of each
quarter to settle, but IN the future
rent must be paid the first day

COTTON SEED PRICES.
Within the Past Few Weeks Seed
Have Declined From S22 to S12.

The price OF cotton seed few
weeks ago an0 now furnish a striking
Illustration OF how a staple commodity
may fuctuate In price. During the
month OF October seed were In active
demand at 321 q $22 ton. while to-
day the current quotation Is $12 a ton.
Two reasons are given for the tre-
mendous decline In price. viz: the de-
cline In the price Of oil and the
stringency In the money market. but
neither one nor the other or both to-
gether seems sufficient to warrant a
decline OF nearly so per cent In price
In 40 short a time. Particularly when
the price of meal IL stationary at $28
ton.
Some mills are Offering to exchange
meal for seed at the basis OF two tons
or meal for three IONS Of seed, but

DON'T HOARD MONEY.

|. The one thing that has been most
patent In accentuatlng and prolongipg
the panic In New York, has been the
withdrawal Of money from the banks
and boarding 1t by individuals. There
Is actually more money in the coun-
try than there was three months ago,
but so much Of II has been withdrawn
from circulation by ignorant or easily
alarmed persons that there Is not SUI
ficient In sight to transact the business
OF the country. There Is today ample
funds In Sumter to transact the ordi.
nary, business OF this city and county,
but II those who possess this money
were to withdraw 1t from the banks
and hoard 1t or house or keep 1t in
their pockets the business Of Sumter
would be paralyxed. In addition to
the money now on deposit in the
banks there are thousands of dollars
In the hands, OF the people a hum
dred here and fifty there-that they
do not need for immediate use that
should be deposited in bank. 1t would
be safe there and would be an inn
mense help In the present emergency
In relieving the situation. Every dol
lar that is deposited in the local hanks
strengthens their position and enables
them to extend more help to the
farmers who are holding cotton.
Hoarded money does the hoarder no
good and is an injury to the county.
Put 1t In the bank where IT will be
safe and where It will do good.

Z EIz1 WAIOHEANA AND soUTHRoN. NOVEMBER 20 1907.

even this does not seem to be a good
trade for the farmer as three tons of
seed ought to be more valuable as fer
tilizer than two tons Of meal. At the
present time and prices the farmer
who has seed would do better to put
his seed In a compost heap than to
sell them.
1t Is fact, demonstrated by ex-
perience, that those farmers who
never sell seed but return to the land
all seed grown on it improve their
lands more rapidly and produce larger
crops than those who habitually sell
the seed.
A case illustrative of this was call
ed to the writer's notice a few days
ago. A negro tenant farmer on a
large plantation on which the rule
against the sale Of ctotton seed has
been rigidly enforced for years, plant
ed twenty acres in cotton this year,
and up to last week he had ginned 20
bales Of cotton and expected to pick
one or two more bales. That is a
pretty fair crop and shows that the
land Is In high state Of fertility.

DIED FROM PISTOL WOUND.
Jury of Inquest Over Body, of Will
CoOts Say Bullet Caused His Death.
From The Daily Item, Nov IA

From The Daily Item. Nov IA.
The inquest over the body Of Will
Coots. colored, who died on Tuesday
afternoon an account Of which
was given In yesterdays issue, was re-
sumed this morning, and after hear
ing all the evidence obtainable, the
jury returned a verdict that the me-
gro came to his death from the effects
Of pistol wound received at the
hands Of a person unknown to the
jury.
Dr. Archie China performed an au-
topsy on the body of Coots and found
the bullet lodged in the brain with a
large amount of pus formed around
1t. The shooting occurred last Au-
gust and this negro lived in this con-
dition until Tuesday. He was treated
at hospital here and discharged
some time ago. ~
Coroner Flowers communicated
with the sheriff of Clarendon, where
the shooting is alleged to have taken
place, in regard to the death OF
Coots. The sheriff said that he was
Informed that one Raymond Jones
did the shooting, but he could not be
located. TIE murderer of Coots may
never be brought to justice.

FROM THE PINE WOODS.
Hyomei's Aromatic Air is Guaranteed
to Cure Catarrh or Cost Nothing.

When using the Hyomei treatment,
the air you breathe is like that on the
mountains high above sea level where
the pine woods fill the air with aro-
matte healing that gives health and
strength to those suffering from dis
ease Of the respiratory organs.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
the healing balsams Of Hyomei reach
the most remote air cells Of the throat,
nose and lungs. destroying all ca
tarrhal germs and giving quick relief
and cure. :.
Hyomei has performed almost mi
raculous cures Of catarrh, often re.
storing health in chronic cases that
had given up all hope Of recovery. Its
best action is at the start OF the dis
ease. when the breath is becoming Of
fensive and when discharges from
the nose, droppings in the throat and
frequent sneezing or spasmodic
coughing begin to make life a burden.
At the first symptom Of catarrhal
trouble, use Hyomei and see how
quickly you get relief and cure.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
and Is sold by j. F. w. DeLorme, un.
der guarantee to refund the money
