BACKACHE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER Several days ago lt was announced by members of the city council that they had decided to visit no place for tho purnoBO of Inspecting a motor car pumping apparatus for use tty tho AndorBon Ure department. How over, tuemhors of council appear to I have changed their minda on this matter, sinco yesterday a majority of the council, together with tho may or nnd representatives ct houses in terested in the manufacturo of fire fighting apparatus, went to Spartan burg for the purpr.se of inspecting j the type of pump being used by the Spartanburg department. Tho salesman representing tho Seagrave Company had everything In readiness for council to visit Colum bus. Ohio, and Inspect his company's plant there, but tho trip was called off at the lust minute and when Tuesday arrived connell decided that such a trip waa not necessary. Whether or not a truck of any make will ho purchased just at this time is still in doubt but members of council are determined that they will select no machine for usc hero until they have seen a number of dif ferent, makes tested. They desire this done in order that they may de termine which will be best suited to the needs ot the city. If a pumping truck IR purchased; tho cost will probably bo between $8.000 and $10,000. Rev.

In tho report of counsel, prepared by Kurtz P. Smith, solicitor and Ern ? cst F. Cochran, tho attorneys make tho statement that in their opinion this matter cnn not bc handled ac cording to law by tho courts of South Carolina and that lt is a matter for the United States courts to d?cid?. In conclusion tho etntoment ?ave "Wo suggest therefore that tho mat ter should bo brought to the attention of the proper Federal authorities and if relief ls given there will he no ne cessity for any action by your body or in the State courts. If, houtpYor, the Federal authorities should Ail to give any relief, then tlii? graDd Jury might determine whethor nr not ir would he advisable to present an in dictment in the court of genero! ses sions and test the jurisdiction^ of the State courts in such proceeding*, or the matter might then bo brought to tho attention of the attorney general nf South Carolina in order that the State of South f/irolina might Insti tute a suit for an Injunction in the State court and the power of the State court over such navigable streams may be determined in thia manner."

PARKER & BOLT THE ONE-PRICE CLOTHIERS < AWARE OF SHORTAGE -IN SUPPLY OF .MEAT ANDERSON WILL PRODUCE '/ MORE HOGS . " : ! TO HEED AI^jlCE Department of Agriculture Has Told Planters That Meat Will Soon be Scarce in Country.

The fermera have, cime - to. real ize'that meat ls growing scarcer year by year, that teas meat iii now being, produced than was ever before, and a majority of the far-sighted farmers in the county are going to lake steps to see to it that they will not be per sonally af (oc?od nest year. In this connection, the following will be road with Interest: "With regard to meat animals, our estimates indicate an accumulated shortage since the census -year* ot op?, proximately 19.2 per eehOT o&SifUw?" 000 head of cattle; 11.6' per cent, or 6.509,000 hoad of sheep; and 5.2 per cent, or 3,214.000 head of swine. The indicated total, eher tage ot rneat an imait? since tho cenias ot 1910 1? therefore approximately 18,259,000 head, or nearly nine beef cattle, seven sheep and over three hogs for each ono hundred of, the total Estimated population of January, 1914." It must be understood that In ar riving at this conclusion the. depart ment takes, into consideration the In crease in population In four years. Theretoro the figure sdo not repre sent the actual, bat ? tu? relative, shortage of meat animals.
