PALMETTO CAPITOL NEWS
General News Of South Carolina Col
lected and Condensed From The
State Capital That viii Prove OF
Interest to All Our Readers
Columbia.

A market report service Is to be
fnaugurated by Clemson College and
the United States farm demonstra-
ton work, according to an announce
ment by W. w. Long, state agent. Re-
ports are to be given weekly from
every county in the state.
1--WE know too much theory and
not enough fact about marketing
conditions in South Carolina" said
Mr.. Long "The great bar to market
ig progress Is that one corner OF
the state is utterly ignorant Of what
another corner Is paying for cotton
seed or pork or corn or beef or butter
or any other product which u fam
ers have to sell.
In view Of this situation, Glenn
son college proposes to give to the
public each week the essential mar
keting facts from every county in the
state, arranging in parallel columns IN
such a manner THAT valuable COM
parsons will be strongly impressed
on the mind. AS an experiment, a
table of cotton and cottonseed figures
was compiled from quotations, re-
ceiyed by telegraph at the same hour
Saturday, December S, from every
county demonstration agent in South
Carolina. The table is attached to
this statement:
"In the weekly market reports
which we expect to compile we hope
to give information ON two grades OF
cotton. on cotton seed, pork, beer,
corn and butter. Each Saturday q
county demonstration agent will re-
port to Clemson College the prices Of
fered that day on his market. The
table will go to press as soon there
after as practicable.
1.-THE public is asked to be indulgent
with the reports. in the beginning
since it is altogether a new under
taking for our agents and IN many
cases they will have to get their IN
formation from others.
1--WE expect to make no IN
ON the market reports. The facts Will
be given plainly with great care for
accuracy, and to the press and people
will be left the task Of commenting
UPON them and setting about to correct
such errors as they may think exist

The Inspectors Advice.

The late Inspector McCluskey-5
"Gentleman George" or "Chesty
George" as he was known in the New
York force-was a good friend and a
bad enemy. The inspector, while BY
no means vindictive, did not really
forget an injury, and one day an elder
ly millionaire who had injured him In.
the past rushed excitedly into his of
fee and shouted: "McCluskey, one OF
your men just called mt a spawned
old mule. What are you going to do
about it?" "Do? Why, nothing" the
inspector answered. g" can't patch
you up-I haven't the knowledge. Go
and consult a vet"
