in his barn. and he arose in time to see
the thieves driving away with mis-

Statesmen Follow inspectors
And Attempt to Sell Those
Things Recommended.
SIGNS POINT TO GRAFT.
CLAIMED THAT MANY INSPECT

THAN THEY ARE ENTITLED TO
UNDER PROVISIONS OF LAW.

Local grocers as we'll as those OF
other cities of the state, and along
with meat dealers, market men and
restaurant keepers are beginning to
think there may be some phase con
nected with the pure food law of which
advantage is being taken. The word
graft is being mentioned prominently
in state dispatches relating to the
sentiment created. 1t is claimed many
of the inspectors assert more power
than they are entitled to and further
pear foolish
A peculiar incident that transpired
at Button last week is given promi
nence by the newspapers of that city
A pure food law inspector visited a
grocery and went through the routine
of an inspection He told the gro
Neryman a number of things he would
need to buy to keep within the recon-
mendations of the law A cheese
cover, a cake cover and a number OF
articles were named. On the follow
Ing day, salesman selling the very
same articles the inspector had stated
the need Of, visited the grocer and so
licited orders. The question that
bothers the Bluffton grocers is, do the
working agreement? Is the salesman
shadowing the inspector or was it just
q coincidence?

QUIET ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
THERE WAS LITTLE SIGN OF
LIFE IN THE CITY DURING THE
DAY AS BUSINESS WAS PRACTi-
CALLY SUSPENDED.

1t is all over now-the Christmas
rush has come and gone and merchants
Of Richmond are we'll satisfied with
the business of the season. Many Of
them report heavier sales than ever
and a more general demand for the
good things, while disappointment S
written on the faces Of none of them.
Richmond merchants are beginning
TO estimate their sales and figuring
their receipts.
The nature of things during the hol-
day shopping season exemplified the
Sons Of Martha" who labor that 9TH
ers may live without work and enjoy
themselves. The holiday season Is
the time when the clerks and mer-
chants and all others who wait on the
shoppers are at the highest tension in
the year and this same tension is
shared by the shoppers themselves
and now that it is all over there is j
sigh of relief. It is no dissatisfied
sigh, however, but a sigh of gratitude
and satisfaction.
Many lines of goods were sold out
entirely and Toylands were nearly de
pleted of their gifts. Especial activ
ity is reported in the smaller gifts and
articles selling at lesser cost. Large
amounts of candy were disposed of ani
fruits were popular with the shoppers
too.
The nothing doing" sign was hung
out in the business and factory dis
tricts Of Richmond early Wednesday
morning. Except for happy faced
men, women and children skurryine
along the streets as fast as they coult
go on the way to homes of friends
there was scarcely anybody abroad
Some stores kept open until noon sc
that the man whose wife bought hin
yellow and green necktie. might ex
change it for one that was red anC
blue, and the brunette woman whose
husband gave her a bright blue dress
might take it back and get a new
shopping bag, but that was about tn
only kind of business that the store'
did Very little real money was han
died Banks, county and city office
and all public and financial institu
tions failed to open their doors. Will
the factory whistles were silent.

MORE PRESENTS BUT
NOT So EXPENSIVE
dearly Four Million Packages
Out of New York.
PEOPLE MORE CAREFUL.

New York, Dec. 26--It is estimated
chat during the Christmas rush there
have been 3,840,o00 parcels shipped
out of the city by mail and express.
The value of the packages sent by en-
press where values were given, is said
to be about s7,400,000. The number
of packages sent out OF the city this
year is about 6 per cent. greater than
last year, while it is estimated that
the value is Is per cent. less. This
decrease in value Is said to be due tc
the fact that goods are cheaper this
year and people are more careful il
the expenditure of money.
