a Trucking Proposition.

In the next few weeks will be
seen the development of truck
ing.proposition in a section of
South Carolina that is hardly fit
for anything else. In the Sea-
board Air Line territory. from
Savannah to Cheraw, there is
practically nothing save sand
hill land. For some years the
State department and the federal
authorities have been wrestling
with this problem, and the rail
way officials have been trying to
ascertain what is best for this
section with a view to increased
freight business.
The State Department of Agri-
culture has made q series Of eX-
periments which has led to the
establishment Of truck and fruit
growing propositions in this
heretofore neglected territory,
and has induced the United
States department and the rail
way officials to lend their aid.
AS a result very soon there is to
be established at McBee a de-
monstration farm that is inten-
ded TO teach the occupants OF
$4,000 acres of land the main
principles Of truck farming: and
at Bethune the local farmers
have combined to make trucking
a success. The State and the
United States government IS to
assist these wide-awake men in
their efforts, and try to make
the sand hill country what it
should be.-FarmerS Union Sun.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by IocalappllcatlonS as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by cOnStltu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an IN
faEied condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces.

Buy From Home People.

Some fellows are gong through the
county selling stoves and ranges. They
are good takers, and they seem to r.
doing a good business. The ranges and
stoves that they are selling may be Of
good QuaIity-tney should certainly be
of the very best quality at the prices at
which the are sold.
But why should anybody buy stove
or range from one OF these people?
Would it not be better to buy from To-
cal dealer?
These peddlers will be out and gone
in few weeks. If a range bought from
them should turn out to be defective,
what is the purchaser going to do? He
will have nobody to fall back on.
The local dealers are here, and they
are going to stay here. They will be
here, and can be made TO make any de-
fects in the ranges, if any should be
found. They are here to sci! new parts
or supplies. In this way they are more
responsible than the itinerant peddlers.
If man will but stop and think for a
moment he will realize that goods ped
died through the county in this manner
must necessarily be sold at higher prices
than the local dealers can afford to sell
them. 1t costs money. and lots OF it, to
send men and wagons through the coun-
try, to pay salaries and running eXpen-
ses OF the peddlers. The local dealer
does not have this expense. He has his
store, just as does the man from whom
the peddlers buy their goods. As u mat
ter of fact, the cost of the peddling ard
profit besides is added TO the price at
which the local dealer will be glad to
sell the same goods. Even If the goods
are of as good q quality as those handled
by the local dealer, the price must al
ways be higher. There IS no way OF
getting around that.
The truth of the matter is thai the
man in the country who buys q stove or
range from one of the peddlers is pay
ing an excessive price for it, besides
running the risk of getting an inferior
article. Daily Mail.

ested in an explanation.
The railroads in this State
voluntarily reduced the pas
senger rates from three cents 70
two and one-half cents per nile,
but before doing so they had a
conference with the governor
and the railroad commission,
aud it was agreed to let the rail
roads, as an experiment, put
this reduced rate on for one year
beginning April 1st, 1908. The
roads not only reduced their
rates as per agreement, but they
also put on an interchangeable
mileage book, good on several
systems, at two cents per mile
with a condition that the pur-
chaser of this two cents a mile
book, must, before boarding q
train, exchange his mileage for
ticket at the station. The
drummerS CLAIM this require
ment causes them Inconvenience
and they want the legislature to
force the roads to take up this
reduced rate mileage on the
trains instead of at the station
office. The railroads make this
requirement to facilitate bust
ness. and have a more correct
system Of checking between the
interchangeable systems. I am
opposed to this Interference with
the business management of the
railroads. If these drummers Go
not want to comply with the re
quirements, they can do as any
other passengers, step up to the

OLD PROSPECTOR
VISITS PENOLET0N
PASSES THROUGH CITY
ON HIS HUNT FOR GOLD
Is i'm Search for the Golden Fleece"
Goes in Regulation Style With
. Burros and Prospector Outfits
From Pocatello. Idah0~--Is Going
South and West Towards the Ump-
qua-Saw Color There in an Early
Day.

A typical scene in mining regions
but unfamiliar in Pendleton, at the
present time, was witnessed this
morning on the streets of the city
1t was the regulation prospector on
his never ending search for the
golden fleece" His name is Ed
ward Keys and he claims Pocatello,
Idaho, as his home.
With three burros, one of which
he rides when not preferring to walk,
and two with packs, the old miner
soon attracted a large crowd at the
corner of Main and Water streets this
forenoon. He had paused there for a
few minutes to get his bearings and
directions as to the roads leading to
the south and west. In the crowd
that quickly gathered, because of the
unusual sight, was Major Moorhouse
and the prospector was easily per-
suaded to tarry long enough to pose
for a picture.
AS soon as the picture was taken
the man who has spent practically the
whole of his life "far from the mad
dening throng" and who Is ever ready
to answer the call Of the mountains
and the pines, took up his weary jour-
ney with as much enthusiasm as
though his search had not resulted
in years Of disappointment.
To an East Oregonian representa-
tive he said that while prospecting on
the headwaters Of the Umpqua river
in southern Oregon, thirty years ago,
he had discovered some likely"
looking rock and that he would
never be satisfied until he went back
and made a further investigation.
He is now going back. During re-
cent years he has been all over the
mining country in Montana and
Northern Idaho.

aviary. When the Spokane train
pulled in woman with a cage full
of canaries alighted and wended her
way to the waiting room only to be
followed by another woman, few
minutes later, who had basket Of
small chicks. The birds sand the
chickens were evidently both hun
cry and cold and they were loud in
their protests against the cruel fate
which had evidently overtaken them.
The two women with their charges
created considerable diversion pend

they took for some point further east.
