In England or France. The present sys-

Fair Solution.
The board holds that fair solution
would be tho adoption Of graduated
scale. under which the ad vaiorem rate
properly assessed on goods Of low value
shouId then increase progressively, ac-
cordinE to slight incremeiits OF value.
up to whatever maximum rate should
be flxed.
The boards figures would seem to
show that the "prohibitory duties" do
not affect the American consumer SO
much as would be inferred by the use
OF those words. for whilo the duties
on sixteen samples Of foreign cloth
ueiected by the board average 1874
per cent, tho actual eNccss OF the d.
mestic price over the foreign price
was found to be CT per cent, as the
result of domestic competition. "At
the present time the industry in general
is on a competitive basis" says the
report.
The cost OF suit of clothes from

columns OF great fortunes being lost

Years ago a man named Saltzmann
owned an estate In Griqualand. and
adjoining his property was an old
worn down farm that had not been
worked on account of it's poor soil and
the lack of necessary water. The
owner of this arm met Herr Saltz-
mann one day and offered to trade the
farm for an old waistcoat he had seen
him wearing
AS SaltZmann did not wish to bur.

land he kindly refused the offer. A

Old friends have received word
that the death of Frank III. Farnham
occurred at Los Angeles, California,
on July 31st. Frank Farnham was a
pioneer resident OF this locality and
will be remembered by all the old
timers. He went from here to
Louisiana about twenty years ago
and joined his people, Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. g. Farnham, when they removed
to California about ten years ago.
Since that time both his parents have
died, the only remaining member of
the family being Mrs. r. B. Mills.
He IA sick but four days, pneumonia
being the cause of death. The old
friends will certainly all be sorry to
hear the sad news and will join in
extending the sister and other rela-
tiyes sincere sympathy Lake Pres
ton Times.
One would not think there is any
such thing as close times after observ.
ing the manner in which a large
number of people handed their money
to a street vender of cheap goods who
held forth in Arlington last Friday
night. The fellow attracted a large
crowd by his singing, held on to them
by giving away some small stuff and
certainly did sting a large number
when he got to the silverware, watches,
etc. He had au assistant along to
help him take in the money and hand
out the junk. The faker sweat SO
hard be RAJ oblidged to remove his

the country and make the acquain
lance of the farmers with a quantity
of spare cash and a desire to invest
in a "sure thing which not only
would pay big dividends but would
furnish the investors with their twine
for five and a half cents per pound.
They invested and now it leaks out
that they have bought stock in a few
old buildings and a lot of rusty ma.
chinery. The plant was built seven
or eight years ago and SO far has
never turned a wheel and, it is said
there is no likelihood of its being
operated at all. The thing is an up
to-date graft, nothing else, but the
fellow who made the touch cannot
be touched by the law, aud all that
can be done is for the loser to just
charge up this amount to experience
and possibly in the end it will be
worth all it cost oonsocket Times
