offices in Pittsburg, said today.
Mr.. Spencer today examined the q al

the raids and supervised translation of
the confiscated literature, which, he de-

LOAN
FL0ATEDI US,
S10,000,0O0 Debt, to Be
Amortized in Fifteen Years
Placed With N. Y. Firm. =

Advices to the Department of
Commerce yesterday reported the
placing of a loan by the Bolivian
government with a New York con-
Germ for s10,000,000. The proceeds
of this loan are to be used first to
pay off the French loan made in
1910 and 1913 and amounting to
Sc, 6,603,000 francs which at normal
exchange between the United States
and France is equivalent to
s1O,924.079. -. o..
However, because of the present
rate of exchange between the
United States and France, 1t was
said, the entire French loan has
been liquidated with approximately
S6.000.00O, leaving balance of
$4,000,0O0 which is to be used in the
construction of certain railways.
The bonds issued for this loan
bear the same interest as those of
the French loan, but are to be
amortized in fifteen years. while
the French bonds were to be
amortized in thirty years. This
means a further saving to the Bo-
livian government of several mil
lions of dollars of interest

COST
FLIVINGDATA
San Francisco Alone Sue.
ceeds in Checking Com
modify Price Gain.

San Francisco alone succeeded in
checking the advance in the general
level of commodity prices during the
last fiscal year, according to the
Department of Labor.
The jump in the Golden Gate
metropolis for the period was less
than 10 per cent. whereas in prac-
tically all the other large cities of
the country it ranges from 25 to 40
per cent.
The rise in living costs in the
rural districts of the United States
has not vet been tabulated, owing
to insufficient data at the disposal
of the labor department. Whole
sale and retail prices in the smaller
cities and towns show irregular
changes from week 10 week, owing
to defective transportation and dis
tribution. The diversion of a car
load lot of potatoes consigned to a
village will jump the price of this
fOOdstuff out of all perspective to
the picture, and make an analysis
of living costs impossible. But it is
generally understood that the cost
of living in the minor cities does
not fall far below that of the larger
Industrial centers.
There are various exceptions to
this rule, notably in Indiana and
Northern New York, where dominant
manufacturing interests have COM
bined to force the jobbers and re-
tailers to cut their margins to q
minimum, because they know that
large advances in living costs NEAR
that they must pay higher wages to
! their employees. But these towns
are extremely rare.

GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. Aug. 25.-The corn mar
ket closed lower today, but wheat
and oats held firm. The provision
market was generally lower.
Wheat futures closed &c higher
for December and &c lower for
March. The market was strong at
the start, but profit taking weak
ened the undertone. Commission
house buying was confined to ear
lier trading. Volume of business
was not large and there was no ex-
port business reported here or at
the seaboard. Buyers in the spot
market were inclined to hold off
anticipating more liberal receipts
in the future.
Corn was IL to 2hc lower. The
buying demand failed soon after
the opening. Commission houses
were liberal sellers and there was
a noticeable lack of buying orders.
Cash prices remained relatively
steady.
Oats-cTosed &c higher to sc
lower. The declines in corn affect
ed the oats market to a degree and
were largely responsible for the
losses sustained.

A representative Of the citizens OF.
New Zion township, Clarendon coun1.
ty, was in Sumter wednesday to con-
suit with officers of the Chamber Of
Commerce concerning the calling OF
an election for purpose of anne9lug
that township to Sumter county. New.
Zion township is adjacent to the Fs1r-5

to hold an election to join Sumter
county and the New Zion people are
reported to be strongly in favor aof2
uniting with the TurbeyiIIe people and
holding an annexation election at the

the sentiment in fayor Of annexation
to Sumter county is that geograpa14
ically that section should be a part
of Sumter county, that the people OF
that section are more closely afhhst-ii
ed in a business way With Sumter
than with either Manning, Florence.

Columbia, June 17.-Of serious in
terest to every part of the country
will be the outcome of the case
against the Parr Shoals Power }Co.
of Colun bia,N in which tflei federal
governme ent will try to have the Parr
Shoals dam removed from the Broad
river. United States District Attor-
ney Frank H. Weston Of Columbia
was yesterday ordered by the depart
ment of justice at Washington to in
stitute suit to have the dam remov-
ed, the allegation being that it inter
feres with the navigability Of river,
the Congaree into which the Broad
flows at Columbia. If the govern
ment wins this case it will set a
precedent which will likely mean the
ruination Of many other, power plants
of the country.
Mr.. Weston was asked today as to
what his course would be in carrying
out the orders received from the at
torney general at Washington, and
he replied that he could not state at
this time. He corrQborated the Gact
that he had been ordered to institute
the case in equity, but he will have a
number of conferences with govern
meIt officials. it is understood, be-
Gore he takes any step in the proceed
ings He will probably institute In
junction proceedings.
The Parr Shoals Power Co. ope-
rates the large electric plant at Parr
Shoals station, 80 miles north Of Co
lumnia. This plant furnishes power
for the city of Columbia and for a
number Of other points in the central
part oS the State. It's removal would
wosk ruination to the industries OF
the capital city, and the winning OF
the case would mean the removal OF
dams at other points on the same sys-
tenn of waters, it is stated.

they sold to Mr.. L. D. Jennings, of
Sumter, over $4,000 worth Of their

year1ing boar for which Mr.. Jen-
nings paid $1,000. Mr. Jennings now
