FARMERS IN BAD SHAPE,
Senator Hitchcock Gives SAMPLE
Of Republican Prosperity.

SP"oAiSan prosperity.
Speaking in the Senate of the
United States last Saturday on
the bill Ito reduce and equalize
taxation,' Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska read the following ex.
tracts from letter he said he
had just received from Ne
braska farmer as sample of the
promised prosperity the Repub.
llcan party has brought to the
farming interests of the country
since 1t assumed complete con.
troll OF the government on the
4th of last March:
Permit me, as plain, ordi.
nary, hard working Nebraska
farmer who has been practically
made a bankrupt along with
thousands and thousands of other
poor devils of farmers who have
been exploited by economic re-
formers and uplifters both in and
out OF Congress until we are flat
broke--permit me to say:
AT central and eastern Ne
braska points we are offered 16
TO Is cents for new corn. De-
ccmber corn in Chicago is AZ
cents, which means that it takes
two bushels of corn to pay the
freight and commission of one
bushel, and then we can buy
three tons of soft coal for SIS.
After we pay the sheller. we can
get Il ton of very ordinary coal
tor three tons of good she.led
corn delivered at the elevator,
and if we should be SO reckless as
to want hard coal we can get it
for $23 per ton. After paying
three cents per bushel to the
Smelling machine, we can buy a
ton of hard coal for from $50 to
200 bushels of shelled corn, ac-
cording to the locality.
Il have seen good butcher
cows, shipped from this town, go
miles from Omaha, bring the ship
per as little as 81 per hundred.'
One of the causes to which
Senator Hitchcock attributed the
present suffering of the country
was because the railroad rates
have been put SO high as to alb
solutely prohibit the shipment of
goods to market in the Western
States.

The Scarcity of Eggs.

Country eggs are now almost
as hard to obtain at the grocery
stores in Fort Mill as is frequent
~ the ease in the dead of winter
! ard the few dozens that are Of.
fcred for sale are quoted at Il
price, around 80 cents dozen,
which is prohibitive for many
families. But even at that price
there is practically no profit for
the groceryman in handling them
for he usually pays 80 cents in
trade for the eggs.
1.-The scarcity of eggs in Fort
Mill, yesterday said local gro
ceryman, is due largely to the
Tact that the country round about
is thoroughly combed for them
every week by hucksters and
others who take them to the near
by cities for sale, frequently at 7
profit of not less than 20 cents u
dozen for themselves. The gro.
cerymen of Fort Mill could have
an abundant supply of cold stor-
age eggs always Oh hand, but
eggs that have been preserved en-
ice quickly deteriorate when they
are taken out of the refrigerators
and when they reach us they are
Invariably of an inferior quality,
frequently being so stale as to
render them unfit for use. The
people of Fort Mill know this and
most families here therefore re-
fuse to buy cold storage eggs"

Several times the KcrShaw team

MONEY FOR COUNTY.
Delegation Authorizes Commits
sioners to Borrow Funds.

Steps to relieve the pressing
shortage of funds in several de-
partmcnts of the York county
government were taken Saturday
by the county Legislative deIcga-
ton. The delegation authorized
the board of commissioners TO
borrow the necessary money,
promising that the act would be
ratified or authority given for
the transfer of balances in de-
Partments where all the appropri-
atiOns have not been expended to
those which have run out of
funds.
The shortage of funds concerns
several departments of the gov
ernment. among these being the
county home and Jail There is
also insufficient money with which
TO pay jurors and witnesses and
a shortage in the fund for roads
and bridges.
The situation is the result of an
act passed at the last session of
the General Assembly prohibiting
the transfer of uncxpcndcd bal

government in which there is a
surplus to those i'm which there
is a deficit. "a custom which had

Ntion of the enthusiasm among local
members to show the visitor all the
honor due his position.
One of the embarrassments that al

fact that on ceremonial and parade

in so short a time that they are
never able to give proper attention to

cial opportunity, and 1t is expected
that tonight's event in which they will

TWO TRAMP PIGS
UNDER TONS OF HAY

Great Southern depot, Is the possessor of
two little pigs today, which arrived in
an unexpected manner. Mr.. Crutcher was

hay when it became apparent something
alive and squirming was beneath severar
heavy tons, but the something evidently
had plenty of freedom and air. AS bail
after bail was lifted out and the car
was nearly empty. two little spotted pigs
wriggled to the door and grunted their
disapproval of the bed being removed. 1t
is not known from whence they came
or what breed they may be, but they
sem perfectly well and none the worse
for their evident mistake in getting in
the car.
