Death of Mr.. p. F. Wolf.

Mr. P F Wolf, a highly respected
citizen, died Unexpectedly at his
home on East Main street here at
II o'clock Tuesday morning after a
short illness.
Mr. Wolf was born in the city of
Baltimore in September, 1858, and
would have been SO years old on the
17th inst had he lived until that date.
In childhood he moved to Charles
ton and for forty years he engaged
in the bakery business there. In
early manhood he married Miss
Prince, daughter of the late E G
Prince of that city. Nine children
were born of the union. eight of
whom with their mother survive.
The children are: Messrs ] F, H W.,
A C. and O P Wolf; Mrs G C. John
son, Mullins: and Mrs Florence Du-
rant of Marion; Misses Mamie and
Ruth Wolf of Kingstree.
Mr. Wolf came to Kingstree in
February this year, and opened the
bakery business which he conducted
with his son in the Gourdin building
until his death. Although his resi-
dence here was short, he and his
family had won the esteem of the
citizens of Kingstree.
Mr. Wolf was in good health until
two weeks ago. A week later he
became confined to his bed. The
immediate cause of death was ap-
pendicitis.
The deceased was a member of
the German Lutheran church of
Charleston.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home of the deceased at 10
o'clock yesterday morning by Arch
deacon Alex R Mitchell of the Epis.
copal church, assisted by Lay Read
er Jos R Walker. Interment was
made in the Williamsburg cemetery
in the presence of large concourse
of sympathizing friends. The floral
offerings were numerous and beau
tiful.

PRICES STILL SOARING.
Advances are Noted on Almost
All Lines OF Merchandise.

Talking with Mr. A C Swails upon
his return a few days ago from the
Northern markets he told US that he
had found prices greatly advanced
on practically all lines of goods. and
that if he had not placed his orders
several months ago he would have
had to pay an advance of 10 to so
per cent and that the large firms
with which he had placed his
orders were not at all anxious to fill
them at the prices stipulated at the
time the goods were ordered. 1t
was plainly evident that the larger
dealers and manufacturers had been
too conservative in their estimate of
the advance in prices between the
time of selling and delivering. This
advance is not only on dry goods but
affects nearly every line of merchan-
disc and materials and perhaps more
seriously than any other, print paper,
such as The Record is printed on.
We used to pay $50 per ton for it;
now it costs us round 500 and is
still advancing. Mr. Swails says he
intends to give his customers the
benefit of the low prices at which he
bought his goods as long as they
last. This is as it should be,
though some dealers slap on the
the advanced price the moment =
rise in the market is noted, thereby
doubling or trebling their profits.
We wouldn't like to pay 10c a pound
for sugar if we knew it had cost our
grocer only 34c, but, on the other
hand, knowing that he has had to
pay the advanced price, we are will
ing to come across without grum-
bling. In June we bought ton of
print paper from a firm at $50, a
few weeks later another paper man
came along and sold US a ton of the
same paper at $40. Upon investiga-
ton we found that the $40 paper
had been contracted for by the job
ber before the price scared, and the
manufacturer was obliged to deliver
at the old price. They are all selling
at the same high prices now. Deal
ers in other lines have doubtless
had similar experiences.

DUCKS RELISH BULKY RATION
Food, When It Reaches Gizzard, Must
Be in Soft Statewide Grain
Is Not Recommended.

Ducks at all times require q bulky
ration. They have no crop like chick.
ems, the food passing directly to the
gizzard. The food when it reaches the
gizzard must be in a soft state. For
this reason the feeding Of much whole
grain will prove injurious to ducks. A
good winter ration is the following:
Equal parts of wheat bran, cornmeal
and green food, 5 per cent beef scrap
and 5 per CEN sand. The mash for
ducks must be made thin and sloppy.
Any kind of green food will doEcab-
bage, potatoes, turnips, beets, etc.
Lacking a supply of these, cut clover
or GU alfalfa, steamed and mixed
with the mash, will do as we'll. Ducks
should be fed three times a day. AS
the breeding aso approaches the
quantity of cornmeal and beef scrap
in the ration should be doubled.
Ducks require little in the way of
housing. A shed, open toward the
south, but with nor tn, east and west
sides closed, is all that is required.
The only part Of the duck that is SEN
sitive to cold is it's feet. In order to
protect its feet from freezing weather,
the floor of the shed should be well
bedded with straw. The litter in duck
pens soon becomes damp and filthy
and should be renewed frequently. If
allowed to sleep on damp litter or in
damp quarters, ducks will likely con-
tract rhnumafiSm
Ducks may be permitted to range
about the place except when the
ground Is covered with snow.

OFFERS GREAT MUSICAL TREAT
High School Entertainment Course
Presents Metropolitan Grand
Quartet

In presenting the Metropolitan
Grand Quartet to the lecture course
audiences at the high school auditor
ium Saturday night, the management
does so in the full belief that they
are presenting the best quartet of
male singers the Lyceum has known
for many years. Each voice is a
great voice, and standing alone would
lend distinction to any concert pro-
gram. In strength and finish, no
quartet program now being given
surpasses that of this organization.
The quartet is, according to reports,
a company of rare artists, doing solo
and ensemble work of the very high
est character. 1t is not a quartet
of mediocre artists doing ordinary
work, but an organization especially
fitted by nature and training to give
the most artistic rendition to the best
music, fulfilling every ideal of what
good quartet singing should be.
The PERSONAL of the company as
sures the high character of their
work, the organization being compos-
of Charles L. Meth, first tenor;
Paul Chase, second tenor; John Eber-
ly, baritone; Thomas l.. Lane, basso.
