Campaigns Increase the Use Of Milk,

Following a milk utilization cam
paign held in Spokane. WASH IN
which specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture coopera-
ted with State and local authorities. a
survey was made which disclosed the
fact that as result Of the campaign
5000 people had increased their con-
sumption of milk. During the cam
paicn it was found that $500 school
children in Spokane drank no milk.
but that during the campaign Zoo
started to drink it daily The special
lists of the department have coopera-
ted With the State extension forces
in conducting milk utilization cam
paiens in number OF cities. all Of
which have resulted in an increase in
the consumption Of milk. Campaigns
are never conducted in town un-
less the supply Of milk is known to
be absolutely clean and there is a
sufficient quantity to take care Of in
creased consumption.

Why the British Aris.ccracy STR
wives.

British aristocracy is said to be
shocked because the grandson of the
Duke of Buckingham, himself the
bearer of an independent title, is to
marry the daughter of a village
blacksmith. However, the aristocracy
probably will bear up, for it is well
aware that the thing which distin-
guishes it from all ether aristocra-
cies, and to which il chiefly owes its
strength and permanence. is the faot
that it is replenished in the man
ner here revealed.
It is the only aristocracy in Eu-
rope that is thus replenished. and it
is the only one-speaking largely
that has endured.
Lord Chesterfield. who was of it's
finest flower. thoug.. chiefly reme,1l-
bered today as a ready letter writer,
was a Stanhope, and proud enough Of
it as we know. But among the por-
traits of the Standhopes in his han
he hung the pictures Of an old man
and an old woman. and under them
he wrote Adam Stanhope" and Eve
Standhope.'
He was wiser than that French
aristocrat who said that God would
think twice before condemnlng
man of his quality, !, =.
The British aristocracy of birth
persisted in fhc war Of York and Ian
caster, and the .aristocracy. that sue
ceede6 (which is. the one We. know
today-is increasingly an aristocracy
of worth-at least of success. Its
roots are of middle class origin. It
is constantly re-enforced from that
class. The roster OF the house Of
lords is largely the roster Of British
business and industry, fortified by
solid additions from the big prize
winners in the learned professions
and from the realm OF letters.
This process began early enough to
save the British aristocracy from the
fate that overlook that Of France. 1t
was going on as far back to the time
when Louis Nv refused to invite the
French men Of letters to his table.
When Nine. Pompadour tried to
found a salon at Versailles the king
made the only successful fight he
ever put up against that hish-handed
lady. The French aristocracy would
have nothing to do with brains and
nothing to do with. business. The
result was that when the deluge
came brains and business were ar
rayed on the other side. If they had
been given stake in the state, as
happened in Engl' d. they might
have saved that orc ~ that went to
the guillotine or even more ignobly
passed from French history as emil
gres crouching hidden under loads
of straw.-Kausas City star

Weight Of q crowd.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seen, to demonstrate that engi-
neers usually under estimate the max
imum loading caused by dense crowds
on bridges. floors and platforms. Forty
men averaging 163 pounds in weight
placed in box six feet square caused
an average pressure Of Isl pounds
to the square foot on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail
ways at only A pounds but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer ISL than 45
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.-New Yoork Herald.

Mr.. w. w. Hearon Died Sunday.

The sudden death of Mr.. ". W.
Hearon early last Sunday morning
came as a distinct shock to his fam
lily and friends He had been in ap-
parently good health and was on the
streets until Saturday afternoon, and
the friends who talked to him that
day recalled the fact that he seemed
unusually we'll and in excellent spirits.
He was taken suddenly i'll about
midnight and died within a very short
time.
Mr.. Hearon leaves a large family
TO mourn his death and numbers OF
friends throughout the state who will
be grieved at this sad news.
Tie funeral services were held at
the home of his son, r. L. Hearon,
at 1880 o'clock. Monday morning
and was conducted by Rev. w. y.
Dibble of Bethlehem Methodist
church, of which E.r. Hearon was a
member. Mr.. Dibble was assisted
in the services by Rev. R. S. Foun-
tain, of the Baptist church.
After the services his body was TAX
en- to Bethlehem cemetery where it
was laid to rest.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful and attested the high re-
gard and. deep respect in which Mr..
Hearon was. held by all who knew
him and also the sincere sympathy
friends felt for the bereaved family.
He is survived by the following
children: Mrs. c. G.. Beck, Jr., OF
Sumter; Miss Gladys Hearon, OF
Florence; Mrs. W. P. Scott, of For
eston. Mrs. w. w Keys, Of Cristobal,

Lee County Taxes Well Paid Up
fBishopville Vindicator)

IbISIIODVIIIC TN 1S0t
In the May 1st report Of County
Trea surer Perrin his report shows
that s69,02O75 has been paid over tc
the state as the states part OF the
taxes paid in this county for 1871. Inc
total amount due the state, accord
ing to this report, was $14,139.65.
This would indicate that the taxes IN
Lee county are paid up to about "a
per cent and it is estimated that
with taxes paid since this report was
made that not over five per cent OF the
taxes of this county are unpaid.

abor is about proportionately lower
now than it was at the time cotton
was 41c to $1.10 a pound as cotton
s today, and we can build the roads
much cheaper now than we could
have then. Therefore. the same n
nancial principle obtains.
Mr.. Dabbs also speaks about the
hurdensor,e taxes. Well, if this
should dominate the minds Of a ma
io:ity Of the people we would never
have any of the modern conveniences,
because we cannot have them with
out money; we cannot have pubic
modern convenicnces without payins
taxes, but in this instance OF good
roads any one who Will stop and think
and investigate will find out we car
have these roads without a dollars
cost an dsave at least the cost again.
How this can be done has been SO
often discussed before the people that
it is useless to mention II here except
to say that what we Will save on the
wear and tear Of our automobiles
trucks and vehicles. the time in TAX
ing our produce to market and things
of this kind. which will not only pay
the entire cost OF the roads but with
in the same period Of time we will
save in addition to this more than ,i.e
cost again, and certainly me 'crity
of the people Of Sumter county would
not refuse to have a system Of rs

can get them without cent Of cost
