Ice Too High.

Considering what it cost to make
ice, one-half cent per pound to cou-
sumers seems to us to be big price
for it. Ice is no longer a luxury.
but a necessity and it should be in
the reach of all the people. Re-
Gently the government at Washing
ton came to the conclusion that
seven dollars and sixty-fve cents
ton for the ice used in the depart
ments was too much to pay for 1t,
and the government concluded to
see Just why it cost so much.
AS a result the postoffice depart
ment building is now supplied with
a daily ton of ice, bearing the U.
s. brand, and costing for its manu-
facture only sixty-fve cents. Sub
tracing sixty-five cents from seven
dollars and sixty-five cents, Uncle
Sam discovered that he had, by
making his own ice, effected saw
ing of seven dollars a day in one
department. and the old gentleman
is making arrangements to supply all
the departments with cheap ice.
There is in this story of economy
a moral that can be applied at home,
in Oraugeburg, or in any city which
uses manufactured or artificial ice.
The moral would cause question
to be directed to local prices for
the very necessary article. 1t is in
Orangeburg, we believe, bought by
the consumer at rate that ap
proaches ten dollars a ton rather
than seven. Allowing for increased
cost Of production. the magnitude
of profit which must accrue to the
ice makers here. and generally. is
sufficient to bring into prominence
the government ice-making which
produces ice at cost of only sixty
five cents ton.
AS we stated above, the success
of the postofflce department Ice
plant has led Uncle Sam to consider
the general manufacture of the ice
which the thousands Of his employees
need. The Charleston Evening Post.
from which source We get the above,
SAYS as a strong reminder of how
cheap ice can be made, these plants
would have a function other than
supplying government offices. And
just so long as government ice is
kept remote from government pie,
that long will it keep up its reason
for being

COMMITS SUICIDE.
Sings as She Goes to Room to End
Her Life.

At Tarrytown, N. Y, after singing
as she went to her room, appear
emily in the best of spirits, Mrs.
Charles Konds, twenty-one years old,
wife Of the proprietor of the st.
George hotel, in Depot square, swal-
lowed two ounces Of carbolic acid
and died a few minutes later. Her
husband and friends are at a loss
to ascribe a reaa ION for the sui
eide.
Mrs. Konda was married in White
Plains, her former home, about a
year ago. She appeared to be hap
py, and she was favorite with a
large circle of acquaintances. She
bought the acid at local drug store,
saying she needed it for medical
purposes.
A half hour before swallowing the
drug Mrs. Konda conversed cheerful
ly with friends and spoke enthusias-
tically of an excursion she intended
making the next day. She was heard
to sing as she went to the room and
few minutes later her groaning
attracted attention. When her hus-
band ran to the room he found her
writhing upon the floor. She was
taken to the Tarrytown hospital,
where she died few minutes after
her arrival.

The Evcr-Changing Waist-Linc.

In the August American Magazine
Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, writing an
extraordinary amusing and yet In
forming article on women's clothes,
says:
"Consider the mental agility 1t
takes to keep up with ones waist
line. One goes to bed at night In
the sweet assurance that it will be
under the arms for the next two
or three months at any rate, and
awakes to learn from the headlines
in the morning papers that the waist
line IS positively at the knees. There
is absolutely no use in prognostlcat-
ing anything about it any longer.
That the waistline occurred at the
waist was an axiom accepted us uh-
Questioningly as that the earth re-
wolves on it's axis, but in these days
of higher criticism it is likely to be
anywhere. 1t bloweth where it
liSteth." :"

A BELATED APOLOGY.
Il Came After the Positive Man Die
covered His Mistake.


An Irish officer who had served In
Malta was one day at a public dinner.
Expatiating on the luxurious living at
Malta, he spoke particularly of the ex-
cellent quality Of the anchovies. He
had never seen any like them any
where else. He told Of grove Of
them which he had seen growing in
the governors garden upon the es-
planade.
A gentleman present disputed the
statement that anchovies grew on
trees. The Irlshman reaffirmed 1T
most emphatically. The wine was
flowing and the lie passed. A chal-
lenge was given and accepted.
On the following day the parties
met, attended by their seconds. At
the first fire the Irishman's shot took
effect In his opponents thigh. the ball
hitting the bone and causing such
shock that the latter fell upon his
back and in such pain that he kicked
his heels vigorously.
.,"I' faith, majo% said our hero's
second, you've hit your man, but |
think not dangerously, for see what
lively capers he is cutting"
"Capers! Capers! exclaimed the
Irishman, with start. "Oh, by the
powers, what have 1 done? Bad luck
to me forever for such dreadful mis-
takeI And, Fastening to the side of
his antagonist, who had been raised
to q sitting posture, he grasped his
hand, gushing forth as he did so: my
dear friend, hope you're not killed.
And If I'VE harmed you seriously I'll
ask your pardon forever, for l made
a murderin' mistake! 1t was capers
that saw growing upon that tree at
Malta and not anchovies at ALP

HITS THE FARMER HARD.
Must Pay Heavy Tax on Covering
For Their Cotton.

The Washington correspondent OF
The Columbia Record says as he
predicted would be the case, cot
ton bagging is restored to the du-
table list by the Republican con-
ferees. I do not know yet whether
the rate is the original duty OF SIX
tenths of a cent per sqaure yard,
though this will be likely. The
maneuver now worked on the Dem
ocrats is familiar to Aldrich who
played the same trick when the
Dingley bill was up. He accepted
Senator Bacon's free list amend
ment to stop talk, though it was
stated Wednesday afternoon by
Republican friend of his that pro-
lection would be restored in confer
ence when the Democrats are out
of sight. it is heavy blow to cot
ton planters.

Turn About,

The president of a western universi-
ty relates how on one occasion. when
certain well known educator was dean
of that institution, grave comrlaintS
against the college cook were brought
to him by one Of the undergraduates
whereupon the dean summoned the
delinquent, duly lectured him upon his
shortcomings and, in short, threatened
him with dismissal unless conditions
were bettered.
Good gracious. sirr' exclaimed the
cook. "You oughtn't to place too much
importance on what the young men
tell you about my meals. Why, Sir
they come to me in just the same way
and complain about your lectures"

Clothes Will BE Higher.

Notwithstanding the protests OF
the clothing, merchants and consum-
ers of clothing it now looks as If
the prices ofi1elothing this fall Will
be from $3.50 to $500 higher per
suit than last fall. Recently the
National Association of Clothlers
sent to President Taft strong ap-
peal against the proposed woolen
schedule in the tariff bill, which is
now nearly complete. Among other
things they say:
practically no change from the
Dingley bill has been embodied in
the new tariff. and we must, there
fore, assume that no relief from the
present unfavorable conditions can
be had save through your interVen-
ton.
IAN industry whose product Is
used by practically every person IN
the United States appeals to you
,3or pimple justice, not for itself
alone but for the consumers OF the
country.
Eight million. wearers of WOOL
lens are paying yearly much more
than the total value of the domes-
tic wool clip to afford excess pro-
fits to a comparatively small num-
ber of sheep raisers and worsted
yarn spinners.
1--WE are not opposed to rea-
sonable protection to the WOOL
growers and to the domestic man
ufacturer, but from our practical
experience we know that the Ding
Aey hgl, through 6he unjust dis
examinations against the lower ana
cheaper grades of wool, has Great
cd a condition which has decreas-
ed the weight and durability of the
clothing worn by the masses OF
the people and unduly advanced the
nrice of the deprecated cloth.
Should present tariff conditions con-
tinue. the situation will grow worse
and the burden on all wooden cloth
ing extremely, heavy.
'The prediction pledges led the
neople of the country to assume that
there would be such a revision OF
the tariff as would afford relief from
oppressive conditions bearing heaVl-
ly upon the consumer
We fear that this appeal falls on
deaf ears, as President Taft seems
to be heartily in favor OF the
buccaneer methods of Aldrich ana
his gang of robbers. Under the
provisions of the tariff bill the
Wool Trust will rob the people OF
this country of hundreds of millions
of dollars, and besides sell them
inferior goods. This trust is COM
posed of twentyseven wooden mills
all of them located in New Eng
land except one. and is the controll-
ing force in the great woolen IN
custry of this country, and as the
Chicago Tribune says, when IL lays
down the law as to prices or wool
en- cloths the clothing manufactur'
ers have to accept its terms or g.
cut of business 1t has SEM no
tee of an advance III prices OF lroln
9 to 25 per cent on those OF a
year ago.
But, as the Augusta Chronicle
SAYS, there seems to be no escape
from it; OHIO and New England nave
had the cars of the tariff txers-
and the people must pay what they
demand. So get ready, right now
to pay more for your clothes next
fall; unless, of course, you are lucky
enough to have suit or two left
over from last year. or have bought
one during the present summer
months-which latter, in this Gil
mate, at least, isn't such bad
proposition even in winter.
