The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, July 13,1904. Money in Cheese. Special to the State. Greenville, July 6 ?Ten miles from Greenville in the Busby creek section there is in operant h notably successful cheese IV > k<lant began operation last N jv<s.ubrr, and with the exception of two days, nas been running full time for a period of eight months. C. J. Ellison, the master spirit of the enterprise, is a successful breeder of Jersey cattle, Berkshire hogs and White Leghorn chickens. He is a hard working farmer, a man who has builded upon his native soil until now he has an investment that pays dividends as large as a bank or a cotton mill. About a year ago Mr. Ellison got interested in the cheese industry and getting together four of his neighbors he organized the Bushy creek cheese factory. The plant of the company, together ?ZlU fVimMinor which is WILLI LUC ia\jtutj built on modern lines, the first lbor from foandation to the windows being of cemeDt, represents an expenditure of $650. Included in this cost is a cooling room, which adjoins the main structure, for the storing of the product until it is ready for shipment. Caeese making is such a simple process that one can but wonder why more farmers have not taken up the industry. Mr. Ellison and his assocaites are enthusiastic over the success of the Bushy creek enterprise, and they are figuring on doubling the capacity of their plant this year. A charter will also be applied for, in order that the company may protect its brands. The plant now has an everage daily capacity of 150 pounds, and the prcn duct is sold only to dealers at a uniform orice of 14 cents in hundred pounds consignments. R W. King, the company's sales agent was here yesterday on his return from Charlotte, where he had been looking after some shipments. In an interview with the State's correspondent, Mr. King said one dealer in Charlotte wanted to sign a contract for his entire product. "I couldn't sign him because Greenville and Anderson merchants take everything we can make. The shipment we made to Charlotte was sim ? ply an experiment and of course we are pleased that our product made such a favorable impresssioc. Next year," continued Mr. King, "it is probable that the Charlotte merchant can get his contract signed. We have only 40 milkers now, and our plant is running at full capacity, but we are getting ready to expand.'' Going into the details of process, Mr. King said that about everything need in the manufacture of cheese are the vats for boiling the milk, the repository cans, testers, presses, engine and boiler. "Individual care and hard work are more necessary than complicated machinery," said Mr. King. In a spirit of magnanimity, the farmers of Brnsbv creek intend showing the farmers of Greenville and Anderson counties what a great thing khev have in the Brushy creek cheese factory. A public demonstration of the process of cheese making will be given at the plant July 12, and all farmers are invited to be present and see for themselves how easy it is to start a small industry on their own farms. In connection with the cheese making demonstration, Mr. Ellison has arranged with Col. Newman to come over from Clemson and hold a farmers1 institute. The Rural Carriers. fVilnrnhifl Record. July 4. The State Association of Rural Free Delivery Carriers was formed this morning in the Secretary ol State's office. The meeting was called here several days ago and there was a large attendance considering tbf distance traveled by many. The officers were elected as follow*-: President?D. C.

The salary of the rural free deliv ery carriers has recently been in creased from $600 per annum fco $780 per annum, and as a result there has been a considerable improvement in the service and many the State associations formed for their mutual beuefit and instruction. .By-laws and a constitution were adopted and there was an address by j postmaster Eoeor; who is the pay| master for the State and pays out j monthly thousands of dollars.

Washington, July 1.?The census bureau today issued the final bulletin on the negro population of the United States which shows a total of 8,840, 789 The report indicates that between II and 1G per cent of the negro population has, or is believed by the enumerators, to have some degree of white blood. The centre of negro population is iD DdKalb county, Alabama, about 4 miles from the western boundary of Georgia, haviDg moved thence from Dewiddie county, Virginia, where 76 miles north east, since 1790 more than 77 per cent, of the negroes lived in the country, against morethan 57 per cent, of tLc whites. Almost 90 per eent. of the negroes in the continental United States are in the Southern States and threetenths of them are in Georgia, Mie* sissippi and Alabama. Negroes constitute about one-fifteen of the city population and about one-seventh of the country population of the continental United States. Overworked. Smith was met one evening with a box of chocolates under one arm and a big parcel of beefsteak under the other. "Hello, Smith!" said Brown, "going in for housekeeping? I didn't know you were married." "I am not?jet." "What are you doing with that chocolate and meat?'' "GoiDg to see my girl." "Do you have to furnish the family with meat alread}?"' "Oh, nc; the chocolate is a present for the girl, and the meat is for the dog. I have to square myself with both of them." Smoking in Japan. In order to help pay the expenses of the war, which it saw was inevitable, Japan recently established a regie, or government monopoly of the tobacco trade. Tobacco was introduced in Japan in the seventeenth century, and at the present time there are large quantities of the weed grown and smoked there. As yet cigars have not reached the pinnicle of esteem they hold with more civilized nations, but Japan is making great efforts to attain the standard of the West, and there are hopes for her. Just now the favorite smoke is a very small pipe, which is thrown away before it reaches the stage when it is able to walk alone. In that much the Jap is in advance of some of his more polished white brethren. A Severe Battle Reported. London, July 7.?The Central News reports that a night attack on the Japanese outposts near Lantyasann by the Russians was made under Gen. Kashtalinsky in which 1,000 Japanese are reported to have been killed and wounded. The attack was made ; in the darkness and duriog a heivy downfall of rain. Strong Japanese ( reinforcements came up but were three times repulsed. The Japanese , ! tried a llanking movement, but Russian reinforcements arrived and the . Czar's forces were able to retire. The Russian losses were thirteen officers I and 300 men killed and wounded. I ? , A clou<lbur.>r near Pittsburg. Pa., recently inundated o()0 homes and business houses, fining damage to the amount of half a million in a few minutes. The Japanese rank as the best garden ers in the world.
