independent C~reameries vs..
The Trust.

Prof. Wheaton of Brookings, Dairy
commissioner for South Dakota, who
has been taking a deep interest In the
creamery investigation before the
railroad commission In Nebraska,
publishes a long article in the DAIRY
Produce a Chicago weekly paper
devoted to the creamery interests,
and says:
s.4,he creamery industry was
started In South Dakota, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska
about the same time. Cooperative
creameries were built and fiourished
In South Dakota, Missouri, and Iowa,
while the centralizerS proceeded to
mOnopolize the business In Kansas
and Nebraska. After the local cream
cries In Nebraska were nearly all COM
PEELED to cease doing business by rea-
son OF this extremely low rate on
cream to the 'c~entralizers, the centra-
lied plants proceeded to establish
the price for butterfat so that II was
highly remunerative to themselves
and ~fuiniOus to the dairymen. Enc
result OF this is the cause OF the pro,
dnctiOn OF only Is, 900, 600 pounds OF
butter In Nebraska-in a year. while
that OF Iowa under the local cream
cry system has grown to 9O,OOO,oOO
pounds per year. The average price
paid the farmers in South Dakota
during the year Of 1906 by local cream
cries making SO, 600, 900 pounds OF but
ter per year or more, was 25c per
pound butterfat. In Nebraska under
the centralized system the average
price, according to their evidence,
was about 19c for the same period"
The above statement by Prof..
Wheaton would clearly prove that
the only way farmers can keep ur
the price of cream is to support Q
home creamery. Where there Is nc
independent creamery the trust price
is always from three to five cents be-
low the home creamery price. There
was no creamery In Canton a year
ago and the trust was paying lS to ~
cents, and butter was worth "a cents
in New York. Now what are the
farmers getting for cream But al
ways remember that you must sup,
port your creamery OF down go the
prices. Heckmaster s. Reynolds are
entitled TO every gallon OF cream In
this section. They are the price
makers.

DEATH OF H. ". BAKER.
The Sudden Death of This Pop.
ular Young Man Brings Grief
to Canton Homes.

Baker in this city were surprised
and shocked to hear of his death in
Sioux City last Friday night. None
but a few relatives had knowledge
that he was even sick, and the first
intimation the public had Of his SER
ious condition was when DR.. Wendt,
his brother-in-law, was hastily sum-
moned TO Sioux City last Friday
night and was taken there by w. r.
Storie in an automobile. The dis
lance was covered in five hours which
was remarkable time considering the
distance, roads and darkness.
Edgar Dean, father-in-law of Mr..
Baker, had been summoned on Fri
day by his daughter and when he
reached his daughters home he found
her husband in a very serious condi-
ton from a sudden attack Of appen-
dicitis. No less than fourdoctors had
been in consultation rel his serious
condition and it was finally decided to
remove him toa hospital at 10 o'clock
Friday night where an operation was
performed but this proved nnavailing
as the sufferer passed away at mid
night.
The body was prepared for removal
to Canton accompanied by Mr.. Dean
and the grief stricken widow and hel
little two year old son. The casket
was taken in charge by Undertaken
Byrnes on arrival and removed to the
home of Mr.. Dean where it remained
until the funeral service was held at
= o'clock Monday, Rev. w, Alfred
Cave officiating, and the Methodist
Episcopal church choir furnished mu.
sic specially selected for the occasion.
At the conclusion of the funeral ser
vice a large number of friends looked
upon the face of their friend in the flor
al covered casket for the last time. A
large number attended the burial Ger
emory at Forest Hill Cemetery where
the final act i'm the sad drama of life
was enacted.
Hudson Wheeler Baker was born
near Lake Mills, Iowa, April 18th,
1869. He came to Canton in 1899 and
was engaged in business here unit
the opening of the Sioux rvation
when he located at Bonesteel and was
| quite successful in the land business,
and afterwards removed to Sioux City
in August 1906.
While engaged in business in this
city hes was married to Miss Ella
Dean, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
gar Dean, the ceremony taking place
on November 5th, 1901.
The deceased was a genial kind.
hearted gentleman and had host OF
friends. He leaves a wife and son two
years old.
His father. Abram Baker, died in
1902, and his mother resides at Keist-
ter, Minnesota, but was unable to at
tend the funeral owing to sickness.
He also leaves five sisters. Mrs.
Phoebe Arnold Of this city is a cousin
of the deceased and Nelson Baker, of
Keister, Mimi, another cousin, was
present at the funeral.
|. The heartfelt sympathy of this COM
munity goes out to his grief stricken
widow in her hour OF trial and suffer-
ing, and may she find consolation In
the knowledge that he has gone to a
home prepared by the Master where a
future union is the glorious hope Of

Egg Matched by Negroes.

Probably no more curions incident
has ever been published than the fact
that an egg has been Matched by a
woman. That is what has been re-
ported in Orangeburg. 1t has caused
no little amusement there, and the
old negro woman who is responsible
for the feat has been termed a human
incubator.
It is stated that a very elderly negro
woman, who lives in Orangeburg,
placed an egg in her bosom, and it
kept there for a period of three weeks
after which time the egg wasfhatched.
The chicken is now about a week old
and is kept as a pet in the family.
There was no difficulty experienced
in Matching the egg.-Aiken Journal

The caaflestoa-Aiksa Electric
Railway

The South Carolina Public Service
corporation seems to be pushing on
with it's work of laying sundry lines
of electric railways yer the state.
Yesterday Mr.. John B. Stroman, OF
Orangeburg county, was in Aiken for
the purpose of seeing several parties
to get the rights of way near Aiken.
He has already got all the rights OF
way from Springfield to scott's bridge
across the. Edisto river, and he Will
probably secure those between that
point, and Aiken this week. Nearly
all the rights of way have already
been secured from Charleston through
Orangeburg to Springfield.
The line of the railway between
Springfield and Aiken will be from
that town through Mr. John Gulg-
nard's lands on the north side OF the
Ediste river to Mr.: J.. P. McNalrs
store; thence across the river near
Scott's bridge, and across shaw's
creek near the hatchway; thence
through the George Wright, L. G.
Courtney, Croft and G. e. Henderson
lands to Aiken.
MI. Stroman states that it is the
expectation of the company to begin
actual work on the roadbed by Sep

The Temperance Movement.

Nine counties in South Carolina
voting on the liquor question and
seven or ten probably added to the
prohibition column seems to indicate
that not even the "candy-cathartac"
law is going to be a stay to the prohl-
bition wave that has been rolling over
the country recently.
When Tennessee and Kentucky be-
come practically dry states, and Geor'
gia, as the Augusta Chronicle tells u.s.
sends in the usual report "
county went dry'' and o the other
side the Old North State is rapidly
driving the liquor manufacturers as
well as retailers out of her borders
and congress will probably pass at It's
next session a bill that will put the
Jug train out of business-it seems to
us that the millennium of the cold
water army is coming, and we really
tremble to know which one OF ou1
vices it will declare war on next
