TO HELP MARKET PRODUCE.
LEVER WOULD SUPPLEMENT
HOKE SMITHS BILL.
Believes il Has Better Chance Than
GcOrgian's Mcasurc-iIas Been Fa-
yOrably Reported.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE house
committee on agriculture today agreed
to report favOrably the bill of Sena-
tor Hoke Smith of Georgia for the
the department of agriculture. The
vote on this bill was unanimous 1t
is learned that Representative Lever
while favoring the bill, was not en-
tirely satisfied that it's provisions were
broad enough to give authority for
the work which he thought necessary
10 be done in order to carry out the
purpose of those who have suggested
.his additional piece Of machinery for
the enlightenment and benefit of the
farmers. In addition it is his idea
that on account of the crowded con-
ditiOn Of the house calendar it would
be impossible to pass the bill even
with the favorable and unanimous re-
port of the committee on agriculture.
Hence. it is understood that Mr..
amendment to the agricultural ap-
preparation Of $4,000 to become
available July 1, 1913, for the pur-
pose Of giving the secretary of agr-
culture the authority and the money
with which to begin the work contem-
plated in the thought which suggests
the creation Of a bureau of markets
in the department. This amendment
was adopted.
Mr. Lever believes it to be the be-
ginning Of n movement whicf, ulti-
mately will go far toward the soIu-
ton Of the NeXed problems Of the
high cost Of living, providing, as 1t
Will, the machinery by which the pro-
ducer and consumer are brought
closer together and furnishing means
on account Of bad marketing
by which the estimated annual loss
$3.50, 100000 can be saved TO the
American people.

Citizens of OrangebIrg Are Happy
When Pet Project is About to BE
come "A Fact

Orangeburg, Jan. 16.-The estab-
lishment of the fish cultural station
for South Carolina at Orangeburg is
now assured, as the deed of convey
ance has been signed and delivered
and the purchase money paid. The
government purchased 80 acres, Just
on the outskirts OF Orangeburg, from
John III. Dukes. The purchase price
was $4,000. The establishment of the
fish cultural station in Orangeburg
will be big enterprise for Orange
burg and will bring the city on the
Edisto into more prominence.
1t will be remembered that several
years ago Senator Tillman secured
the passage of a bill through con-
gress appropriating $4,000 for the
establishment of a fish hatchery in
South Carolina. Orangeburg, through
her Chamber of Commerce, news
papers and correspondents and citi-
zens, worked hard to secure the fish
people here are delighted that
Orangeburg has safely landed the
hatchery and that the government
will soon begin work in preparing the
site for fish culture. 1T is understood
that several homes will be erected
upon the property for the superin-
tendents TO reside in
The location for the fish cultural
station includes Dukes fishery"
which is a site beautiful in natural
scenery. John III. Dukes, the owner
Of the property, sold the land TO the
