900 bales is expected to fetch the
grower S72,G00,000. The oil mills will
pay the cotton farmers another $S,000,-
900 for the cotton seed, making to-
tai of ss0,000,00O for one crop. While
South Carolina has on three occasions
won the worlds contest for corn pro-
duction to the acre, not much attention
has heretofore been given to corn
cultivation. This year, however, so
per cent more corn than ever pro-
duced before has been grown. Credit
for much of the increase is due to a
new method of planting and cultivat-
ing, known as the "Williamson plan, "
whereby the yield is doubled and treb-
led on light lands. The value of the
corn crop is s22,00O,Oo0.
While the trucking industry shows
marked and continuous development,
while tobacco growing has increased in
Importance, and rice planters are more
cheerful than for years, the two prin-
cipal farm products in state with
less than 100000 people, are worth
s1O2, 100000, Or fully s6S per capita.
The net profit from these two crops
this year will not be less than s25 for
every man, woman and child, black
and white, in the state. At the same
time, South Carolina is the largest
cotton manufacturing state in the
south, standing second in the union.
Her mill will consume this year about
700 900 bales of cotton, the raw ma
terial being worth at prevailing prices,
100000.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
the people of the Palmetto State are
in peaceful and cheerful mood. No
where is there less friction between
the races; indeed, about all that is
heard here of such strife is what sits
in through reports Of speeches dellV'
cred from the lecture platform in
other sections of the country.
INQUIRY made recently developed
the fact that at the last session OF
the legislature there was no scclals'
tic LEGISLATION proposed and nothing
was done toward the regulation OF rail-
road rates. South Carolina's attitude
towards railroads is almost unique.
The board commissioned by the leg

Carolina lost one million or three mil

taught a lesson about government

stance, state or municipal, where Sour

Dispensary Business Grows.

Reports to the county ooaro OF coii-

dispensaries will be still larger 1or
september than for August, and the
nrofits will be in excess of any Sep
tember in the history of the dlspen'
sarv system of liquor control. Severai
hundred cases of liquors have been
sold 50 far in addition to the retali

of neople are now patronizing the dis
nonsaries and storing their closets with
goods purchased in the legal way
through the dispensaries.

said Witherby. I'VE can get just as
much pleasure out of a runabout mo-
tor car as we can out of four-cylin-
der touring car. We may waver just
a little bit on the hills. But what Of
that? We can go as fast as the law
allows, and it isn't nearly the trou-
ble."
Mrs. Witherby sighed.

she said. why not get decent one?"
But this is decent. It's just as
reliable as a bigger one, only smaller.
1t will carry US anywhere.
t'The Paysons, next door, have a
French machine. The Burts, on the
other side, a big four-cylinder forty
horse power. And they keep chauf-
feur. How shall We appear?"
? Fine! Splendid! You wait and
see. It's all false pride.''
The next day when the trim little
runabout was delivered Mrs. With
erby gazed at it silently for a long
time.
Well" said her husband, "how
is it?''
"Dinky!"
''Umph! Just like woman. Full
of vanity. Everything. for appear

But, my dear, you must admit
that it is a trife humiliating for US,
especially with our position. Yester-
day, when Mrs. Burt heard it was
coming, and what it was, she con-
graduated me. What do you think
of that?''
Rise above such things! What
nonsense! Come, let US 60 out for a

At the end OF a week Witherby
said:

Witherby fidgeted uneasily.
"By the way" he observed care

The next few weeks the Witherbys

mentioned. Every ride was like
snatching fearful joy.

Luck of a Kansas City, Kan, Saliva
ton Army Drummer.

Kansas City, Kan, Nov. 12.-Amos
Brundage, known here for the past
twenty years as the Salvation Army
drummer boy has fallen heir to a
vast fortune At least he has been
notified that he and his brother, Hem
ry Brundage, who lives in Chicago,
are the only direct heirs of Isaac Noe,
grandfather to them on their moth
er's side, who died years ago leaving
an estate in Jersey City, N. J., now
valued at from 100000 to $S,0O0,-
600. He is now in the east looking up
his claim.
Should Amos come into possession
of his share of the estate, it will not
be the realization of great wealth.
said Mrs. Brundage, his wife, at their
home last night "as we have never
hoped for much of this worlds goods.
When he received a letter from law
yers who have been looking the mat
ter up. having been retained by his
brother, Henry, and a cousin, Frank
Busch, an actor, notifying him of his
inheritance, it was the first time in his
life that he ever thought of being
rich"
Mr.. Brundage has left for Chicago,
where he will join his brother and
proceed to Jersey City to make claim
to the estate. 1t is said that the estate
consisted of eighty acres of valuable
ground now in the heart of Jersey
City.

MAYOR BUSSE SIGNS 1T.
Objections to Chicago's Telephone
Ordinance Had No Effect.

Chicago, Nov. .12.-By affixing his
signature Mayor Busse has made eff
fective an ordinance passed by the city
council last Friday granting to the
Chicago Telephone company an ex-
tension of its franchise until jan
uary 8. 1929, and put an end to nego-
tlatlons between the company and the
city which began December IS, 1905,
date. -5-@--,
The ordinance requires the tele-
phone company to pay the city per
cent of the gross receipts from local
business and to allow a discount of 25
per cent from current rates on tele-
phones for municipal use. Rates to
subscribers are readjusted and ma
terfaliy reduced. The city reserves
the right to- terminate the grant and
to purchase the lines upon II months
notice in 1919 or in 1924 on the basis
of payment to the telephone COM
pany for only such tangible property
as might be necessary for the contin-
uance of the telephone business.
Lively protests by city and COM
mercial clubs and organizations fol-
lowed the action of the council in
passing the ordinance. Special meet
ings within the organizations and a
resented were held and resolutions
asking that the mayor exercise his
power to veto We're drawn up and pre-
scented.

the rates provided for in the new
measure were excessive and the terms
of possible purchase by the city un-
just; alleged undue haste in passing
the ordinance; failure to sufficiently
investigate the claims to considera-
ton of a rival company and the abb
sence of provisions compelling con-
nection with independent companies.
The mayor, in announcing his ap-,
prevail, said:
"This ordinance was under consid-
Grafton by the council committee for
nearly two years. That committee had
the assistance of a commission of ex-
perts appointed under a previous adj
ministration, the results of whose in
vestigation, research and reflection
are a matter OF public record. Album
dant opportunity to be heard was af-
forded every one who had anything to
suggest to the committee in conneo-
ton with the framing of the ordi-

standpoint save only the question of
rates, the ordinance as passed by the
council is one of the most complete
that has ever been adopted in this

TRIED TO STEAL SWITCH,
Two Cars Smashed and Forty Peo-
pie Were Injured.

Seattle, Nov. 12.-Forty men, wo-
men and children were injured, TWEEN
ty-six of them quite seriously, in a
street car accident here today, when
two speeding cars crashed into each
other in a dense fog. Both cars were
smashed up and rs per cent of the
passengers injured. The accident was
due to the foolhardy attempt of the
conductor and motorman of a city
bound car to steal a switch on an
outgoing car. The track ran over
trestle above the tide flats, and the fog
made it impossible for the men in
charge OF the cars to see each other
till within few feet.
Several of the victims may die,
among them Motorman H. T. Huf11ne,
the man who attempted to steal the
switch.
The place where the accident oc-
CURED is several miles from Seattle on
a single track line, and the injured
were without medical attention or
competent aid until a special relief car
arrived
Among the injured is c. L. Har-
baugh, a travelling passenger agent for
the Pennsylvania system. c. w. Smith,
assistant librarian of the State univer-
sity, is also a victim.

Mr.. Hitachiyama, who is a man of large
stature, gave an exhibition of his
training. The wrestling bout was d.

TWO THOUSAND CASES.
Violation of Postal Law Promoted by
Tobacco Firm.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-TWO thousand
cases of violation of the postal laws,
the majority of them traced to patrons
of a tobacco company of st. Louis,
are on file in the, office of Postofice
Inspector James e. Stuart.
Mr.. Stuart protested against the
methods of the company and several
other large concerns in the country,
by which ignorant persons are led into
breaking the laws and making them
selves liable to $40 fines when few
cents postage would evade all trouble.
The law violated is section 4S4 of
the postal regulations.
Patrons of the tobacco company in
Chicago and other cities break this
law by sending tags back to the COM
pany as fourth class matter, with
written request in the same package
for the kind of premiums desired.
The tobacco company in the past has
asked the tag senders to designate
the premiums wanted The writing in
the package places the matter in the
first class.

GOING BACK TO ENGLAND.
An Atchison Family of Miners Do Not
Like America.

Atchison, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE Da-
zells. family of coal miners who have
been working at the mine, left Monday
afternoon for Liverpool, England,
where they expect to remain. They
say that the United States is not what
1t is cracked up to be. There are six
members of the Richard Dazell family.
The boys are all old and strong enough
to do hard manual labor, and have
been employed at the mine. Two Of
the Dazen boys came to Atchison sew
eral years ago, and the rest of the fam
lily came about year ago. They work
ed at the mine, and then couple of
the boys went to Colorado to work in
the mines. That didn't suit them. SO
they went to British Columbia. That
was no better. and they returned to
Atchison. Other of the male mem bers
of the family went to Illinois to try the
coal mines there, but nothing suited
them. They returned to Atchison to
work, but recently they made up their
mind to leave the country, so they all
purchased tickets to Liverpool They
will sail on the Celtic. a White Star
steamer. The tickets cost the family
$334.80.
