Only short time ago freight rates
from the West were increased. MAX
ing the cost Of living higher, and now
the freight rate on collins has been
raised. increasing the cost of dying.
1t appears that it has been CUSTOM
airy to ship coffins from the factory I'm
crates, one inside another. Under a
new regulation of the railroads this is
to be no longer permitted, each coffin
being required to be separately boxed.
OF course, this will materially in
crease the cost of shipment, one Of
the local undertakers estimating this
increased cost at three dollars for
each coffin.
If this be true. then this new rail-
road regulation will increase the cost
of a funeral three dollars, this addi-
tional amount going to the railroads.
Certainly this is a great hardship on
poor people, and looks like cruel ex-
tortion.-Augusta Herald.

Columbia, May 2.-South Carolina
has at last come to be recognized as
one OF the great corn-growing States
or the Union. In a letter to Commits
sioner Watson Mr.. w. o. Paisley. as
sistant general manager of the Ma
ticnal Corn Exposition, the largest or
ganization Of it's kind in the country.
asks that South Carolina be in the list
OF States competing for the prizes Of
fered annually by the Exposition.
Commissioners Watson has replied to
Mr.. Paisley that he is very much graf
flied that this State has now been
placed in her rightful position among
the leading corn-growing States.
Heretofore" says Col. Watson, "I did
not feel that we should aspire to be
placed alongside of certain other
States In the matter Of corn growing,
but there has been such marked de-
velopment in the past few years that
! now have no fear. We are going to
so even further and make South Car
olina known as much as q corn
growing State as she now is known as
a cotton State"
Mr.. Paisely's letter to the commits
sioner states that the Baltimore Sun

ton OF the interest which is being
shown In South Carolina in the culti-
walton Of corn. 1--WE WISH" writes
Mr.. Paisley, Ito have your-department

this great problem. Fifty-four thou
sand dollars in premiums are offer
ed at the Exposition for best crops OF
corn. wheat, oats and grasses.

step In agriculture inasmuch as the
farmers of that section have found
that they could raise good crops OF

of the millinery for the later season.
The fact that this smart-looking close
hat has already graced a race meeting
in France seems sufficient guarantee to
the prophet that it will win out.
If this turban with its twisted drapery
is now an English favorite. as we have
been informed. 1t was of East Indian
origin. and long ago 1t was distinctly
Greek and comes not without pedi-
gree-its past history is assured. A
long popularity was enjoyed by 1t dur.
ing the Madame de Stael days, when 1t
was both street hat and evening head
dress. We know of 1t pulled quite far
down over the head. disclosing only
some ringlets that escaped Its bounds.
and we well remember Thackeray's dow
ayers whose plumes bobbed in unison
with their turbaned heads and their in
dignation.
The plume has given way before the
more saucy-looking aigrette as a trim
ming for the present turban. although
its main attraction is the covering,
which is wrapped, rolled folded or
twisted to suit the face beneath 1t. A
fitted straw hat Is the body Of the up
to-date turban, sometimes SO close to
the head as to be almost ball-shaped.
The less extreme turban is a sewn tagal
straw OF white or blue. which shows
through the drapery: some of them, in
deed, covered with folds Of straw and
foulard held on by a straw cabochon.

If she continues to stand her ground In

in favor of long lines, as does a very

the shoulder seam.
You will see 1t on the first figure at
