o. Choosing Legislators.

Does il often occur TO the average
voter that the legislature controls IN
u large measure the development CT
the public school system and col
leges Of the State:
Does Winthrop need new kitch.
en-? The Legislature decides whether
it shall have the money with which
to build it, Does the South Caro-
lima University need bath rooms?
Does the Citadel need more domitory
room? Should C!eInsou's tron bies IN
administration be %oue into Inde-
pendeut!v OF the trustees: The mem
bers Of the legislature must decide.
Shall fund be provided to length!
eu the schoo! term OF the weak pub
lie schools: Shall they be helped TO
buy libraries: The men ycu send to
Legislature must say yes or no.
Often these questions are decided
by very few votes, not infreGuentiy
by one. Sometimes in the House and
frequently in she Senate one neIr.
ber de-ides the fate Of large issues.
The personnel OF the legislature Is
Of great importance TO the Sta te at
large. Each county must. OF course.
consider local issues in choosing rep
resentatives. but voters should. ut
the same time, think seriously OF the
greater interests involved.
Counties are judged in considerable
measure by the character Q! their
representatives and county pride
should play no small part in select
ing delegations.
When aIlthis is realized it becomes
rather distressing to find that there
are voters who cast their votes from
small personal motives. The total
number who are influenced by poll
ticaI Grujges, personal aninosities,
trivial likes and dislikes, or who cast
their votes thouSht!ess!y are at
times enough TO elect or defeat leg
isiative candidates.
This is :tli said without regard to
any aspirant for Legislative honors
liz this county aow or in the past.
But, as the tine is II hand when
voters will be called on 10 choose
Representatives, such reflections
are very timely.-Beau.orc Gazette.

Gold Storage Eggs Handled at

EXPERIENCE AT CHICAGO
Butter and Egg Board Gives Ont
Some Figures Meant to Calm
the Public.

Putting eggs In cold storage is bad
business. 1t must be 50, for the cold
storage men themselves say SO in a
report of their operations at Chicago
for the egg year. just closed. When
the balance sheet was struck it was
discovered that there had been an
actual loss,-I the 100000 900 dozens
of eggs that were put into the ware
houses last spring, summer and fall.
On 10 per cent of the stored eggs a
profit had been made; on 10 per cent
thsaaccounts were about even; but on
the remaining 80 .,er cent there had
been an absolute loss. A loss of /
dozen eggs would amount to $240, 000,-
eco.
These are unofficial figures given
out by the officials of the Chicago but
ter and egg board. The egg storage
year begins April 1 and closes Jan. l.
There are 10 cold storage eggs in Chi
cago now and have not been any for
two months.
Chicago is the greatest egg storage
point in the. country sal Wayland
Palmer, chief egg inspector for the
board Our warehouses have a ca
pacity of 1000, 600 cases. The total
number of eggs 0duced in the coun-
try is nearly 60, 900 cases. of which
less than per cen. are stored. Upon
the same basis the fresh eggs dis
posed of IN Chicago annually amount
to 12,500,000 cases as against 1000, 900
cases of storage product. A case con-
tains 80 dozens.
Not Much Money In 1t.
There is little money in cold stor-
age eggs. Counted by themselves
there seldom is any money in them.

quaint hero of William J. Locke's hui

it is said Arliss has made him one of
the greatest triumphs of his career.
which is a more than noteworthy ac-

of great character portrayals with
which he has enriched the stage. Mr..

But such is the case. In the last
few months there has been decided
increase IN the price of white lead and
1inseed oil. Last fall linseed oil re-
tailed at 60 cents per gallon. The
price has almost doubled. White lead
has taken jump this year and is now
being sold at $S.25 per 100 pounds.
The price of having the interior OF
the house painted will not be in
creased materially by these advances
in price. The price, of wall paper is
just little bit lower this year than
last. However. it is hardly probable
that people will change their plans
of painting their houses because of
the increase 1t is as in everything
else; they will simply grin and bear it.
