| Hampton. June 26.-The funeral Of
DR.. James H. Hutchins was held Tues
day at the Congregations church. DR..
Hutchins came to Hampton in 1873,
and has been practicing medicine here
ever since. He was for long time the
leading doctor Of the county and had
a very large practice. He had at the
time Of his death interests in several
banks in this and adjoining counties,
owned several large farms and was
counted one of our wealthiest men,
He leaves a wife and daughter,
Mrs. H. E. Boemhler. One sister and a
half brother are the only immedia te
relatives. These were present at the
funeral.
Dr.. Hutchins went to the war with
the One Hundred Forty second Illinois
infantry, and had just last week been
appointed by the state G.. A R. as
their medical examiner.
The G.. A. R., Masons and Eastern
Stars took part in the funeral services.
He was an active member of these or
ders. The doctor was one of the best
men that Hampton ever had in her
midst, and will leave a gap that can
not be filed.
Every business place in town was
closed during the afternoon. Judge
Evans, I. B. Hudson and Rev. Mr..
Thomson delivered the addresses at
the services.

SAME OLD STEAM ROLLER.
Roosevelt Sees Similarity in Baltimore
and Chicago Conventions.

Oyster Bay. n. Y. June 26.-Colonel
Roosevelt last night was greatly
!, pleased by the news from Baltimore.
He showed how closely he was keeping
in touch with the situation by recitlng
the vote by which William j. Bryan
had been defeated a short time before
in his contest with Alton B. Parker
over the temporary craftsmanship
Doesn't that remind you of what
happened in Chicago?" he asked. They
are making the same fight at Balti-
more. That is good. One thing is plain.
that Mr.. Murphy will never make peace
with Bryan"
Colonel Roosevelt said that appar-
emily the issue among the democrats
was fundamentally the same as that
in the republican convention.
Should serious differences develop. 1t
is his belief the new party will profit
thereby in the way of receiving sup
port from disaffected democrats.
With this in mind. Colonel Roosevelt
and his associates will take no definite
steps until after the democratic con-
vention.

Butter in tn. United States.

People unfamiliar with production
and consumption figures have been
surprised lately by statistics from the
census bureau with relation to the ma
tons output of eggs and its enormous
value. Only by considering that eggs.
when at all within reach, are eaten
by everybody does it become concefv-
able that the production and consump-
ton of this one article in the United
States amounts to 1.293,662, ABB dozen
annually. Yet such a figure prepares
one for the information that 1.62O.766
900 pounds of butter are produced in
this country every year. This is the
total output: its value is s405 100000.
OF this amount 996,00o,000 pounds are
produced on the farms Of the country,
with a value of s225,544,000. while fac
tories produce 624, 1885, 900 pounds, with
value of $179510O00. Strange to say.
while the great butter market OF the
country has for years been in Illinois,
Wisconsin Is the greatest Of the pro-
ducing states. it's output being 49,
049,O00 pounds, valued at $36.62S.000.
OF this its farm production is 1855, 900.
Iowa comes second, Minnesota third.
Pennsylvania fourth, Michigan nth.
Ohio sixth, Illinois seventh, New York
eighth and Texas ninth.
1t is still a matter Of regret that the
couth, so admirably adapted to pastur-
ing and dairying, should make compar-
atlvely 80 poor a showing. Only Texas
appears among the leading producers
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Ala
bama, Virginia, the Carolinas and
! northern Mississippi and Louisiana
should produce many times the guam
| tity Of butter they are credited with at
present The same Is true Of poultry
and eggs. The south has the advan-
tage OF climate and could obtain an
earlier and higher market than north
ern states for its poultry yard and
| dairy products.
The remarkable thing about the lat
est statistics In relation to butter 10 the
fact that tho higher prices do not, ap.
! parently, affect the volume Of CON-
sumption. Demand for the best butter
| was seemingly as great when tn article
was selling between 90 and 20 cents in
some localities during the last winter
rs when It was down to. 10 and IS cents.
The constantly increasing call for but
ter may be pu. forward as another In
!! centive to the man, looking toward the

night repeating the present ordinance
governing the closing Of theaters and
amusement places in the first day Of
the week. Since 1904 the city has been
without Sunday theaters.
The ordinance repeating the one

the only one to vote against the mo-
tioa and on a motion to adopt the ordi-
nance, he again opposed it against the

curfew Does Not Ring.
Immediately following the passage
of the theater ordinance, Councilman
Switzer took the floor and proposed
the enactment Of curfew ordinance.
in case one does not exist at the pres
ent time and if it does, the rigid en-
forcement of such a law. He gave as
his reason for having curfew the re-
cent disclosures in the juvenile court
in which boys Of immature age have
been found guilty Of committing crimes
Of more or less serious nature.
"That doesn't sound good to me-
said Councilman Dewey in answer to
Councilman Switzer's espousal OF the
curfew ordnance ana the: followed
a heated argument between the two
members of the council Dewey de-
clared 1t foolish to open the vaude-
Vile shows and moving picture houses
on Sunday. allowing the boys and girls
to attend in the evening and then ring
a bell and expect them to go home.
