ferred very great favor on the farm

In behalf of the Farmers Union of
Sumter county. L wish to express our
appreciation and thanks for this mag

who attend fairs and go about among

There is no excuse for not exhibiting

without incurring any appreciable ex-
pense.

have purchased some pure bred hogs,

 LONDON, July 14.-The bill introduced in Parliament yesterday by the government for the purpose of regulating the price of coal specifically states that coal cannot be sold at the pit mouth at rate exceeding four shillings per ton than the price was during the year ending June 30 1914 This means that the coal mine owners will be largely restricted in the profits they can make on the fuel as under present conditions the coal could be sold Tor much more than the price set by the government The measure is meeting with popular approval, and mo doubt will become law, although considerable mutterngs of discomfort are arising from the coal magnates. The bill is looked upon in England as a war measure and hardly any of the members of the Commons will risk the popular disapproval by opposing the bill.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. July 14-Tn

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14-In the address which the American meat packers presented to the state department protesting in strong terms agamst England interfering with legitimate Ameri- can trade with nonbeigerent countries it is stated that despite assurance given by Great Britain to
 the shippers of the destined cargoes to the effect that the proceedings in the prize court would be expedited, the English authorities are making no efforts to dispose of the cases, and either release the cargoes condemn them. The compalint is made that not a single cargo has been turned loose, and the implication is made that England is wrongfully holding up the shipments and delaying trial because she knows her case is weak. At present the British admiralty have in detention over 30 British. Amer- can and other vessels, with cargoes of ammunition and foodstuffs consigned to neutral countries mostly to Sweden, Denmark and Norway In the dispatches from England yesterday, this number of ships were admitted to be detained, but it was implied that the evidence that the cargoes were intended for trans shipment into Germany was strong.
