The Cost of Living.

1t has been said that the pure food
law has operated to increase prices
and that it is one of the reasons for
the high cost Of living. This is not
so. The pure food law has increased
food values, but not food prices. 1t
is true that spices which five years
ago could be bought for Is cents O
pound now sell for 25 cents a pound:
maple syrup which formerly sold for
60 cents gallon is now worth $1.25
gallon; 10-cent favoring extracts
have been replaced by 25-cent pro-
ducts. But this increase in price
does not mean that the consumer is
paying more for his foodstuffs than
formerly. 1t is more economical to
buy pure spices at 25 cents a pound
than spices containing so per cent of
ground olive stones, cocoanut shells
and sawdust at 15 cents pound.
To those who love the flavor of ma
pie syrup, the genuine product at
$1.25 a gallon is far more satisfac-
tory than an artificial product at half
the price, and the housewife who
pays 25 cents for bottle of vanilla
instead of 10 cents for a worthless
imitation is actually saving money
and reducing the cost of living in
stead of increasing it, for the bottle
OF to-day will go five times as far as
that of former days and at the same
time be much more satisfactory. The
price of the great food staples-four,
rice, corn, beef and sugar-is abso-
lutely uninfuenced by pure food laws.
They may be higher to-day and lower
tomorrow, but their cost to the con-
sumer depends on the available sup
ply, Influenced by the expense of
preparation and transportation.

ACTION TO SAVE LIVE STOCK.
Will Propose that Age Limit Be
Placed on Calves for Slaughter.

Columbia, Dec. 1S.-In view Of the
agitation now going on to build up in
South Carolina live stock industry
the suggestion made by Asher Brown,
of Columbia, that a bill be passed by
the General Assembly providing an
age limit for the slaughtering Of
young calves will be received with
much interest. Mr.. Brown will very
probably have such a bill introduced
at the approaching session of the
Legislature. 1t is proposed by him
that the bill forbid the slaughtering
Of calves under given age-say two
years--and that the act provide pen
atty for violation that will make it's
enforcement practicable 1t is point
ed out that the passage Of such an
act would make for live stock in
dustry and relieve the scarcity of
beef, and incidentally help to reduce
the cost Of living. The killing of
very young calves causes fewer ami
mails to be raised for beef and re-
duces the possible birth rate of cat
tie. In this locality and in other
parts of the State it is said that many
farmers sell the calves at the earliest
moment they can dispose of them and
the butchers slaughter them for veal
Immediately. If these calves were
raised and bred for other stock later
on the live stock industry would grow
in South Carolina. 1t is very proba-
BILE that some legislation affecting
this situation will come up at the
next session Of the General Assembly.

HUERTA is BANNED BY BANKS.
Dictator's Efforts to Raise Money to
Meet Interest Charges Fail.

Paris, Dec. 1S.-The efforts Of the
Mexican government to raise money
in Europe in order to meet the inter-
est on it's obligations falling due in
January have thus far been futile.
Paris and London banks, which took
$40, 100000 of the loan authorized
by the Mexican Congress in the spring
and an option on the unissued re-
mainder, decline to exercise their op-
ton, even for few millions.
The Mexican minister of finance,
Adoif0 De La Lama, now in Europe,
brought with him authority from
Gen. Huerta to intimate to the banks
here holding the option that they
must either exercise it or surrender
it. The bankers refuse to do either.
A threat has been conveyed to
them, cautiously, that their option
may be revoked so that the unissued
portioKsaf' the loan may be placed
elsewhere. The bankers have replied
resolutely that the contract cannot be
revoked summarily, as Mexican
credit would be in a worse position
after such revocation than il was
before.

Menocal Offers Apology.

Havana, Dec. 12.-President Memo
cal, through the State department.
has given William e. Gonzales, the
American minister, full apology for
indignities offered three young Amer
lean women, who arrived here on the
steamer Havana from New York Oc-
tober 20. The young women, Misses
Annie G. Lally and Josephine Murphy,
Of Washington, and Catherine Far
rell, Of Brooklyn, had come to Cuba
to visit Mrs. j. Sanchez, of this city.
On the arrival of the steamer the
police boarded the vessel and detain-
ed the women as the result of claim
by another woman passenger that her
diamond ring, which she had left in
the lavatory, was missing. Despite
their protests the young women were
searched. The ring was not found.
The local newspapers printed disa-
greeable stories about them.
President Menocal, in his apology,
said it had been fully proved that the
American women were innocent.

BAPTIsTs A GREAT PEOPLE.
Some Things Done at Recent Conven-
tion in Bennettsville.

At the State Convention of Bap-
lists held in Bennettsville the yari-
Gus boards made excellent reports,
indicating the substantial growth of
the denomination in this State.
During the year Baptists contrib
uted $4,000 to foreign missions;
$4,000 to home missions; $4,000
to State MISSIONS; 100000 to or
phanage work; $4,000 for aged min
listers; besides the cost of maintain
ing the 1000 local churches, a vast
amount for building new houses of
worship and the like.
Forty-five thousand dollars was
given to Greenville Female College;
$4,000 to Anderson College; $15,-
600 to Furman University: $4,000
to Coker College, and smaller
amounts to Orangeburg College, and
the five high schools of the conven-
tion during 1913.
The convention heartily re-endors-
ed the proposed Baptist hospital, ,
which is to be located in Columbia,
and authorized the trustees to go
ahead and establish the institution.
Thirty thousand dollars is already in
hand for the purpose, and there is
much more promised.
The convention asked the churches
for $4,000 cash for Greenville Fe-
male College by January 1st; for
$4,000 for Furman University by
July 1st; for $4,000 for the Theo-
logical Seminary during the next
year; 900 for the education
p board; $4,000 for ministerial edu-
cation in Furman; $15O,000 for mis-
sions; $4,000 for orphanage; $1O,-
for aged ministers, and appropriate
amounts for other religious objects.
A gift of a $4,000 house for aged
ministers was received from c.. G..
Brown, the house being located in
Beaufort, overlooking the sea. 1t is
expected that ministers temporarily
resting will also make their home
there.
The Baptist Convention employs
nearly $50 missionaries-men and
women- in South Carolina. There
are more than 1000 churches, and
about 900 preachers.
The conventions next year will meet
in Charleston.

w. ST. JULIEN JERvEY DEAD.
Charleston Lawyer, for Many Years
Solicitor, Passes Away.

Charleston, Dec. Nv st. Jul
len Jervey, for many years solicitor
of this circuit, and prominent at
torney and citizen of Charleston, died
this morning at his residence in
Tradd street, following an illness of
fatal character which he endured for
some weeks. He was in his 9th
year.
William st. Julien Jervey was born
at Charleston April 26, 1S47. His
prep 'atory education was gained at
the well known school of Searle and
Miles, and lie then entered the Col
lege Of Charleston, which closed
shortly thereafter on account Of the
war. The institution was reopencd
in 1866, and Mr. Jervey returned
and entering the junior class, grad
uating with honors in 1868.
On July 10, 1868, at 16 years Of
age, he Joined one Of the reserve
companies and saw active service in
and around Charleston until Decem-
Der, 1864, when he enlisted in one
OF the mountain companies in the up
per part Of the State, performing
scouting duties and engaging in
number of hotly-contested skirm-
ishes.
Mr.. Jervey was very active in local
and State politics. He was nominat-
ed as Circuit Solicitor on the Hamp-
ton ticket, and did much work in that
campaign, attending and speaking at
nearly all Of the meetings, many Of
them turbulent. He was at Cainhoy
at the time of the riot, and while as
sisting in quelling it received bullet
wound. G. w. Buttz was the candi-
date on the radical ticket and was
declared elected. Proceedings to
oust him from the seat were taken
however, on the grounds that he held
the office Of Representative also. Mr..
Jervey represented the State in the
case against Buttz, who lost the de-
cision. The report Of the proceedings
in No. 8, South Carolina Reports,
page 1876, is recognized as the leading
case on the subject of incompatible
offices.

King Alfonso tells an amusing
story Of trick he played on one of

This minister, said the King, was
very bad shot. One day he saw a
little labbit moving slowly through
the grass about fifteen yards away.
He fired with both barrels and miss
ed as usual, but the rabbit still re-
manned in sight. Once more the
minister fired. He fired in all SO
cartridges and at last bowled the
rabbit over.
Delighted, the minister ran and
picked the rabbit up, which, how
ever, had tied around it's neck card
with the words Long life to Senior

While not ready for Tuesdays fight,
he did succeed on Wednesday in giving

had greeted Reid. Reid sailed over the
waves and raced out to sea and was
seen in the distance to rise from the
waters and fly towards his landing
place.
