SILVER SERVICE TO HEMPHILL.
Friends Of Editor Present Handsome
Testimonial.

Charleston, Feb. 10.-Maj. J. c..
Hemphill was presented tonight with
8 $1,000 silver service at the conclu-
sion of the banquet rendered to him
by his Charleston friends in recogni-
ton of their friendship and the re-
gard which they attach to his SER
vices in commercial way to Charles
ton, where he has labored for 80
years on The News and Courier, re-
signing the editorship to take SINH
lar position on The Times-Dispatch
of Richmond. The banquet took the
form of "Gridiron club" affair dur
ing which a number of addresses
were made, in which sincere tribute
was paid to Col Hemphills qualities
as man, citizen and newspaper
worker in furthering the welfare OF
Charleston and the State. A number
of skits and stunts we're gotten OF
and the speakers generally took hits
at Col. Hemphill, to the amusement
of the entire company, in which, OF
course, Col. Hemphill entered in the
proper feeling.
He was not permitted to speak un-
til the handsome silver service was
presented when he feelingly acknowl-
edged the great compliment which
was paid to him by the hundred busi-
ness men, representative of the COM
mercial and social life Of Charleston
who sat at the banquet boards in the
dining hall of the Commercial club,
beautifully and appropriately decor
ated in honor of the occasion.
The program provided for the pre-
sentation of the much-famed Hong
Kong gander and goose" but the
silver service was the surprise which
appeared instead of the much-malign-
ed bird.
Numerous fake kilograms were
read which with the speeches were
directed to show the many sides Of
the public and private life of the dis
tinguished editor.
1t was an affecting aid beautiful
tribute but the sadness Of the part
ing was not permitted to control the
spirit of the banquet.
The banquet was presided over by
F. H. Gadsden, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge, who filled the role
most successfully and who, with the
efforts of the members of the commit
tee and those who had part in direct
ing the "Gridiron club" dinner, made
the occasion one Of the most memo
rable which has ever taken place in
Charleston.

SMITH UNLIN1BERS.
Junior Senator Jumps Into the Battle
on Exchanges.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Senator
Smith got into action to-day at the
hearing on the question Of regulat-
ing or abolishing the cotton exchanges
before the house committee on agri-
culture The senator was specta-
tor but spectators had been allowed
to interrupt witnesses and he inter-
rupted j. E. Latham, a cotton dealer
Of Greensboro, and a member of the
New York cotton exchange. L. Man.
delbaum, another member of the New
York cotton exchange, got into the
colloquy and he and the junior South
Carolina senator waxed warm for a
while
Don't you honestly believe, Mr..
Latham" began Senator Smith, 'that
the wild fluctuations in cotton are
due entirely to the easy means by
which spectators can get together,
compare sheets, and then irrespective
of the crop, drop the prices down so
as to wipe out those fellows who
Lave put up 500 or so in some
bucket shop in the small towns?"
Mr.. Latham said that he was not
in position to answer OF his own
knowledge.
Il know it to be true; 1 have
watched it," said Senator Smith.
Its the margins the spectators are
after, not the commissions.
Mr.. Mandelbaum arose at this
point. II want to know If the sena-
tor is testifying or asking questions.
If he's testifying, I want him put un-
der oath, for he is making some
statements that I know are not true.
"a senator or representative is al
ways under oath, Mr.. Mandelbaum,'
said the chair, just to smooth down
matters. .... - o,
Then I Iwant to examine the SEN
ator about what he says he knows to
he facts" said Mr.. Mandelbaum. II
want to say that this is not the case"
Mr.. Mandelbaum was told that he
would be given opportunity to ask
the senator questions If he desired.
"If these spectators had to deliver
the actual cotton" continued M,
Smith, who held the floor for a mo-
lnent, asking direct question Of the
witness, 'they would not dare to have
these fluctuations. They take adVan-
tage of the unfortunate disposition of
an American to gamble, and they run
down the prices, clearing the little
fellows out that way, and then they
run the prices up and clean them go
ing up. The gambling in cotton has
overshadowed the legitimate dealing
in cotton and we are going to stop.
it,"
The senator banged his fist down
upon the table and shook his head
excitedly like he meant business.
Representative Lever asked Mr..
Latham if it were not true that the
local buyers had to be controlled by
the quotations on future from 9 until
2 o'clock each day, the spot quota
tions not being posted from New
York until the latter hour. Mr.. La
than replied in the affirmative, quail
flying the statement, however, by say
ing that Liverpool spots controlled
the markets in the earlier morning
hours until about 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Latham, like all the other
members of the New York cotton ex-
change, was arguing against the pro-
posed measure.

Egyptian Cotton for Mills.

Six hundred bales Of Egyptian cot
ten are en- route to several mills IN
the upper part of the State, having
been received here a few days ago
BY q Baltimore liner, which received
Il from a Liverpool ship, the cotton
being imported to supply the place
Of the American staple whose ad-
vancing prices have now put the
cotton out of reach of many of the
spinners.
It seems like bringing coal to New
castle for cotton to be unloaded at
Charleston for distribution in the In
terror Of the State, when the usual
order is for the staple to be brought
here from the up-country, and ship
ned to Liverpool. But, this condition
has been brought about by high price
Of the American cotton which the
mills declare has reached price that
makes continued use too costly for
manufacture.
Recent experiences have demon
strated the success of the Egyptian
cotton which is a couple of cents
cheaper, and it is expected that con-
siderable of this foreign cotton will
be brought to South Carolina. The
hot which came in was shipped by
Jersey & Co., of Liverpool and it is
understood that another lot is on the
vay to Charleston.-Charleston

When sitting the hens In order 10
keep the lice from bothering them' a
good plan is to fill the nest boxes
with wood shavings. preferably those
that have some odor about them. &C.
dar shavings are excellent and SO are
cedar twigs, and the hens will appre-
ciate the nest of such materials. Lice
are great drawback to hen when
she is on the nest, and many times
they compel the sitter to leave her
nest when she does not desire, and II
there is anything the poultryman can
do to keep the sitting hen comfortable
he will be amply repaid for 1t in the
end The shavings are inexpensive
and are easily destroyed They do
not pack hard in the boxes and are
quite comfortable for the hen. Try
some of them when sitting hen and
see how useful they really are.-Rural

We went TO the cottage, and Barbara.

sisted on helping Charles put up a guam

we started forth again, she with the pro-

came out of the pines and walked down
TO meet us.
"Where are you going with those

she waved her hand towards the pines.
The men were clearly surprised. They
were more so when they saw the girl
calmly sit down on the sand, motion me TO
do likewise, and proceed to load one Of the
revolyers. Shortly after. they withdrew,
whispering 10 each other.

Live stock is the chief element OF
agricultural prosperity. II is the foun-
dalton upon which both the preEent
and future profits are established. We
boast OF our great wheat and corn
crops. and we have a reason for so
doing. but II we depend upon them
alone we rob ourselves and our chill
dren by selling on the fertility OF the
soil with each years crop. For many
years the soil Will continue to yield
their crops. but they Will get poorer
and finally fail unless they are fed.
How much better 10 make your farm
richer instead OF poorer; TO get the
benefits OF the increased crops during
your own lifetime and then leave a
rich and valuable farm 10 your chill
dren after you have done with IT,
Live stock will do II as nothing else
can.-Kansas Farmer.
