BIG TOBACCO CROP BUI WAR CUT PRICE SOUTH CAROLINA GREW LARGEST CROP OF FRAGRANT WEED IN HISTOR YOF STATE. PALMETTO CAPITOL NEWS General News of South Carolina Col lected and Condensed From The State Capital That Will Prove of Interest to All Our Readers. Columbia. / While South Carolina this year marketed the largest crop of tobacco in the history of the industry in this state, yet the figures show that the receipts fell away considerably, due to a depreciation of more than 4 cents a pound on account of the European war. The total receipts thi3 year were $3,979,303.82, a falling off of $605,035.69. The value of the tobacco crop in the United States last year was $104,063,000. Therefore South Carolina's increased yield this year can have nothing to do with the price in this state. The reports, made under oath and filed in the office of the state depart ment of agriculture, show that there were six new markets in the state this year and that one of the former markets was closed?that at Mayes ville, which last year handled 73,000 pounds of tobacco and received there for "$8,095.75. Sumter established a market this year and the Sumter Chamber of Commerce encouraged the growth of tobacco with the results that there were marketed at Sumter 495,209 pounds, bringing $54,974.40. The annual reports compiled show that Lake City jumped ahead of Mul lins and led the state this year in the amount of tobacco sold. Last year the figures were: Mullinf, 4,678,686 pounds and Lake City 4,343,321. This year Lake City took th-s lead with 6.283,500 pounds, with Alullins but 3,708,9S4. On the other hand Latta advanced from 194,91?. *.o 1,321,735 pounds. ' What Marke-ca Did. The figures for the season just cios ed follow: Ponpils. Amount. 542,889 $ 52,0S0.00 Cheraw . .

Can Not Perform Duty of Registrar. Attorney General Peeples in an opinion held that under the vital sta tistics act, "local registrars are offi cers within the meaning of the con stitution, their duties being defined and their salaries fixed, and that a magistrate would be violating the constitution. Following is the opinion In part, given to J. B. S. Dendy, mag istrate at Walhalla: "I am in receipt of yours of the 20th inst., in which you. ask whether you can accept the 1 position of local registrar under the vita- statistics act. "l*i reply thereto I will say that section 3 of this act provides that the state registrar shall divide the state into registration districts, define and designate the boundaries thereof and appoint local registrars in each dis trict. "Section 4 of this act provides for the compensation of these registrars. There is nothing in the act devolving the duties of these local registrars on the magistrates, and consequently it can not be said that they can perform these duties by virtue of their posi tions as magistrates. Owing to the decision given J. B. S. Dendy by Attorney General Peeples that under the constitution magistrates would not be allowed to hold positions as local registrars un-1 der the vital statistics law, James A. ' Hayne, M. D., Fitate health officer, said j that he was going to take the ques- \ tion up with" Mr. Peeples at once and j see what disposition can be made of , this unexpected check in putting ibe j law into cffcct. Tor several weeks 1 Dr. Hayne has been receiving acccp ances from magistrates Another Expert For This State. Interest is being taken in the live stock situation throughout the state. Arrangemfents have been made with the dairy division in Washington to put on an additional man to work in co-operation with Clemson college di vision of animal husbandry extension bureau. There is an evidence of the interest in the cream routes that the farm demonstration agents are estab lishing. "The first month," said W. W. Long, "which was September, we started with nine shippers and we sent checks to these men for $176; last month we sent checks for $400, an increase of 66 per cent, and there will be a light increase this month. It must be re membered that the large percentage of cows in South Carolina become fresh in the spring, and we are ex pecting next spring such an increase tViaf urn will ho pp>tnrn?n?r to the farmers checks for C?elr cream to the amount of $1,000 a month. "The interest in beef cattle con tinues and is exceedingly encouraging when one takes into consideration | the financial condition of the people. But for the scourge of the mout hdis- 1 ease in the west, our experts would 1 be ready to go to tne western mar kets to bring in two or three carloads of breeding stock, end had not this | condition growing out of the war de veloped, I firmly believe that we would have brought in more than $100,000 worth of breeding stock this fall. It is encouraging to know that we have been assisting one prominent breeder in South Carolina to sell 130 head of ' South Carolina beer cattle, and an- ] other prominent farmer to sell 200 Jiead of South Carolina hogs on the ; Richmond market. We sent our ex- ; pert to Richmond, rrashington and Baltimore to make arrangements to J bring buyers of live stock into the 1 state whenever we can offer for sale 1 two or three carloads. We are en- ' deavoring along this line to have the 1 iarmers in uie amereui iuuulics, wuu have two or three or more beef cattle or a like number of hogs for sale to ! make up carloads." 1 Governor Frees 101 Convicts. 1 Of the 101 prisoners to whom the ' governor granted executive clemency ' Wednesday, six were confined in the ' state penitentiary, one in t' Lexing- ( ton reformatory and one on the Reid ' state farm. The remainder of the convicts released were working on the ' chaingangs of the counties in which 1 they were tTied for their crimes. Dr. 1 J. Griffith, superintendent of the peni- ( tentiary, said that there were now be- ] tween 180 and 190 prisoners left in < t'i'j penitentiary and on the state farriQ othftr state Drisoners are 1 working on chaingangs in various counties and are in the reformatories. The paroles and pardons were mail ed from the governor's office Wednes day night. It is presumed that all of them reached the proper authorities in time for the favored convicts to be liberated on Thanksgiving day. A summary of the number of pris oners released from the chaingangs in each county under parole follows: Abbeville, 2; Aiken, 2: Anderson, 1 10; Bamberg, 1; Barnwell, 2; Beau fort, 1; Berkeley, 2; Calhoun, 0; Char- c leston, 3; Cherokee, 7; Chester, 0; i Chesterfield, 1; Clarendon, 1; Colle- i ton, 1; Darlington, 1; Dillon, 0; Dor- j Chester, 3; Edgefield, 1; Fairfield, 2; Florence, 1; Georgetown, 1; Green- < ville, 7; Greenwood, 0; Horry, 2; t Hampton, 0; Jasper, 0; Kershaw, 3; t Lancaster, 0; Laurens, 2; Lexington, < 4; Lee, 2; Marion, 0; -Marlboro, 4; i Newberry, 3; Oconee, 4; Orangeburg, ( 1: Pickens, 5; Richland, 8; Saluda, t 0; Spartanburg, 2; Sumter, 2; Union i 1; Williamsburg, 2; York, 1. ( Tug For Charleston Navy Yard. 1 The Charleston navy yary was noti fied by the secretary of the navy that j to it had been assigned the construc- ? tion of a large naval tug of the newly ] authorized Arapahoe class. The tug > is to cost $125,000, a sum sufficient ^ to build two Charleston libraries and ^ a Mitchell school. News of the award t of the tug to the Charleston station , was received at the local yard with j considerable jubilation. The con- ( struction is by far the largest con- i struction job that has yet been al- , lotted to this station. Just now work is progressing at the Cooper river sta- j tion on a $40,000 dredge for the army < engineers at Savannah and this is the , largest contract in construction that ^ has yet been handled at the works, j Previous building operations here produced two 500-ton steel barges for naval service, valuec at $18,000 each, . and two snag boats, valued at $20,000 Railroad Commissioner Return. Members of the railroad commis sion have returned to Columbia af ter attending the annual meeting of the National Association of Railroad Commissioners. An interesting ques tion to be discussed by the associa tion, according to John G. Richards, chairman was the revaluation of rail road property in the United States. This work is to be done by the in terstate commerce commission, under an act of congress. "The most import ant question was the right of state commissioners to fixe intrastate rates. ! "One More Hog to Each Plow." "If every farmer in this state would just increase his hog production by | one hog per plow this year, what a i t difference it would make in soutn j Carolina one year from row," remark- I ed Commissioner Watson. "One or two hogs and ten chickens added for every plow in this state would put hundreds of thousands of dollars of wealth here without any effort being felt. The last available census shows that South Carolina produced 678,288 hogs on 176,434 farms. "The value of this product was $2, 628,297. That was a naverage of less than five hogs to the farm and each farm had an average of 76 acres. This department, of course, appreciates the efforts of progressive citizens to raise hogs in large numbers on regularly prepared hog ranges, such as there are in some sections of the state, but what we wish to sen is more of an equaliz ing of the good results from producing more meat and energy on the farm. I see no reason why the number oI hogs produced in this state last year should not be doubled this year. Confessions ?f a Mail Order Man Br Mr. M. 0. X. Revelation* by One Whose Experience in the Business Covers a Range From Office Boy to General Manager KEEP YOUR MONEY AT HOME AND BOOST YOUR LOCAL TRADE. The mail order business, with the ex ception of the stock market, is the only business in which the entire capital is furnished by the traders in advance of the transaction. Furthermore, there is no business in the world that could not be made highly profitable?abundantly so?if the customers were to pay their money in advance at the time of the giving of the order. For the reason that the merchant or dealer who handles the cash is not subject to any loss from bad credits, cancellation of orders, return of goods, etc. Did you ever stop to consider that'if there are a half dozen, more or less, bad credits, or, to use a more forceful ex pression, dead beats, in your com munity on the books of the merchant with whom you do business, that it is you who must pay for his bad debts? There is no other way for the merchant to save himself from loss. Somebody must pay and, naturally, it Is those who do pay their mills who must pay enotigh extra to take care of the bad debts and save the dealer from loss. Something like half a billion dollars, a sum which staggers the comprehen sion of any mathematician, a sum that you could never count in a life time were you to count every number aut mentally, is sent to the big cities every year with orders for merchan dise to the big mail order house. You send your portion of that enormous 3um. This great sum would capitalize a half millon stores in as many small towns with a thousand dollars each, in sash. But there are not that many small towns in America. 'In fact, the Bgures are so big that it is impossible to compute them with reasonable ac curacy. However, If this great volume af capital were to be invested with local merchants in the small towns, in stead of sending it away to the mall jrder houses in the big cities, do you realize what it would mean to your )wn town? Do you realize that it would mean :hat the merchants in your own town lould supply you with everything that the mail order houses can give you? :hat everything would be of a better juality and more substantial and that cou would be able to get what you want, when you want it? Also that the money would be reinvested right in four own town, which would mean more mOney from taxes for improve ments, better streets, better lighting 'acilities, better schools, better roads in your county, etc.? Were you to go to your local mer chant and give him the money in ad /ance for anv nurehaKe vou mierht de sire, instructing him to buy it for you ind giving him a few days' time in which to find just what you want ed, you would be more effectively served and better satisfied. Should ;here be an error in his selection you :ould talk it over wfith him and he A-ould make it right: He would be :ompelled to, even if he did not desire ;o do so. But he would realize that it ,vas to his own interest to make the leal satisfactory, without compulsion, ind everything would be on a much jetter footing, all around. Were these conditions to prevail, ind they will prevail, without question, some time, there are thousands of dead ittle towns now in existence that .vould spring into prosperity, which vould increase the value and the real vorth of every house and lot in the ;own. Yes, every farm in the com munity would be worth so much more jer acre, every bushel of grain, every on of hay and everything raised on the farm would be given an additional ralue. There would be a great readjust nent of values throughout the United states. Country property would worth so much more, while the inflated values of city property would seek a :air level. Just think of it. A corner lot in a ;ity, 50 feet wide by 150 feet long, be ng set at a value exceeding the set falue of a thousand farms in any of >ur most productive states. There are ots in Chicago, New York and some >ther cities, no bigger than the size ibove mentioned, that are valued, and ire transferred on the real estate mar tet, at many millions of dollars. You lan read of these transactions in the lewspapers every once in a while. And speaking of newspapers, it is lie ucno^apci, iuc ui mu ouian own, that stands between the grip of :he big city on the prosperity of you n the small town or the country and your Independence of that life squeezing power. It is the little news rnper, as compared with the metro politan journal, that acts as your ihampion, that fights for you every yeek in the year. There is not a newspaper in the Uni ;ed States, no matter how small, that lannot accept, if it will, more money from the big mail order houses ih ex ihange for advertising and "boosting" ;han it receives all told from the local nerchants. I speak from knowledge. I have landled campaigns for the purpose of subsidizing the small newspapers in he interests of more than one mail jrder house. I have sent out attrac :ive literature urging the country newspapers to become prosperous by laking our advertising for their col jmns. I have offered rates higher than :he published rates in these newspa pers, to persuade them to become 'friendly" to the mail order house, in stead of championing the cause of the local merchants. Why didn't they do it? you will ask. Does the mother permit her baby in irrns to starve? Does the mother bird refuse to feed her young? Does the rather decline to support those de pendent upon his efforts? Of course not. There is loyalty and fidelity left' in the world. The pub lisher of the newspaper in the small town is loyal to his community, al most without exception. He cannot be bought by the power of money. He realizes what it means to the business men in his community to be threatened constantly with the competition of the mail order houses and what the lying catalogues mean to the readers of his paper. To return to the subject of the ex orbitant values of property in the cities as compared with the big, profit able slices of mother earth that actu ally produce the necessities of life. City property is held of Buch great value because such property is a headquarters for the juggling of the value produced in the country, but not capitalized yin the country. Every thing is capitalized in the city. The whole wealth of the world is in the soil. The currency, the gold pieces, the stocks and the bonds are merely tokens of that wealth which comes from the soil. If these tokens would not purchase that which .is pro duced from the soil they would be worthless. You who live in the country, own the wealth of the United States. But your lives are so filled with the little details of conserving and producing wealth that you do not take the time necessary to consider how to profit by the wealth which you produce. At the same time those who live in the cities spend their entire time in figur ing out how best -to profit by your work and your efforts. In almost every instance the consumer, the per son who uses your product, pays many times the amount that you realize out of it. Of course, all of this profit between you and the consumer goes to the men In between?those who juggle the values. An enormous proportion of your own produce, manufactured and jug gled, comes back to you at swollen prices through the mail order houses. All over this great country efforts are being made to change these con ditions. In a majority of the small towns the thinking men and women are discussing this great problem. Boards of trade, chambers of com merce, business men's associations and other similar organizations are springing up and these great questions are being threshed out. Great progress is being made, but still the millions of your cash are being sent to the big mail order houses all the time. Really this is the key to the whole subject. Keep your money at home. Buy fr^m your local merctiants. Keep the cash in circulation in your own community. This will solve the prob lem. You have clever men in your town. Get together and talk about it. Arrange to buy your supplies in your own town and let the catalogue houses go hang. All they want Is your money. All they will give you is the least they can In exchange for your money. They are in the business for profit only. They pay no taxes in your town. Talk It over with your own business men. Ask them what they will do for you in the way of service in exchange for your cash orders. This is the only way to do. And keep this one thought in mind. The more money you send away to the mall order houses, just so much more are you endangering your own prosperity and just so many more nails are you driving into the coffin in which to bury your local ambitions. If the five hundred millions of dol lars that you send to the catalogue tinnsoa ovorv.vonr wopb to hp handed over to your own local merchants they could accomplish the most astound ing results?better service, better goods, better prices and better local conditions all around. Lay aside the petty disagreements and disputes. Go to your own local dealer and tell him frankly what you need. Ask him if he can get it for you. Tell him you will support him and you will be astonished by the manner In which he will hustle to supply your requirements. If your local merchants were to be given the cash that you send away to the catalogue houses you would soon see springing up in your own town some of those big establishments for trade which will save you not only & lot of your money, but will offer con veniences aijd facilities for purchasing such as you find now only in the larger centers of population. Controlling the Child. The man or woman who has made self-control a habit by willing to keep from doing this or that, or by willing to do this or that is the moral man or woman. We have been working in the wrong way on the problem of estab lishing self-control in little children. We have been putting the cart before the horse by trying to force our con trol upon the children instead of aim ing to establish their own self-control. To say to a child, "Don't cry!" "Be quiet!" "Don't break anything!" "Don't get angry!" is worse than use less. We must begin, almost in baby hood, to teach children that control which will give them the power to re strain and direct their bodies and their emotions. Eating Without Owning. The supreme court of errors of Con necticut decides in Merrill vs. Hodson that a restaurant keeper's service of food on a patron's order for immediate consumption is not a sale of goods, since the consumer does not become the owner of the food served, but mere ly has the privilege of consuming what he needs. The court accordingly ruled that a suit would not lie against a restaurant keeper under the sale of goods act, in which there was implied warranty that the food served was wholesome and fit for consumption. The court said that the remedy of a guest injured at a restaurant by im proper food served to him must be based on the negligence of the propri etor.?New York Sun. Guide Lines.

Millinery to Spark ALTHOUGH the small hat has tri umphed for four seapons It shows not the slightest sign of losing ground. And for midwinter, with fur a furore and many brilliant trimming novelties at the milliner's hand, the small hat cannot be outrivaled for beauty. Vel vet and furs look unusually well with the many metallic trimmings which will sparkle along with the frost as lone an winter lnofo Besides the endless number of tur ban shapes there are small hats with straight brims, made of metallic nets or laces, and velvet crowns for those who prefer brimmed shapes to the turban. Among the most elegant of models are those having half ^he brim of velvet, bordered with a wide flange of silver or gold lace or net, and the crown of velvet. For a hat of this kind the trimming is often a collar of mink or ermine or fitch. Sometimes a big flower of metallic net, having each petal bound with fur, is used for garniture, and sometimes brilliant silk and velvet roses are used. Hats of this kind are rather difficult to make and require perfect workmanship and the best material." Occasionally a moderately wide brimmed hat emphasizes just how be To Be Worn Wi THp making of neckwear has grown into a business of really great mag nitude, and those who manufacture col lars and frills for the necks of wom ankind keep designers as busy as those who create millinery. These design ers follow the trend of fashion, but must produce variations in all types of neckwear that will captivate by their daintiness and beauty and have something of novelty to recommend them. Just now there are several distinct types of collars that are fashionable, leading off with the De Medici type, which will maintain its supremacy. Then there are roll-over and turn over collars, and those that take their inspiration from the sailor collar. Added to these are frills that extend all around or only part way around the neck. These several types are elaborated in all sorts of ways. There are medici collars with vestees, others with capes, and still others combined with berthas. And they are made of lace or net or ?>Iieei CU1UIUIUC1J Ui vi^uuuiv, Vi*< bellished with fine, narrow laces with hemstitching, tucks or cords. All other types are made with as great variety in construction and material. In finishing neck frills, velvet and satin ribbons and ribbon flowers are added to them, while the medici and sailor types, with turn-over and roll over collars, indulge in fine embroid ery, in evenly laid tucks and in in serted cords, with hemstitching and Plaited Skirts Return. It is an old whimsey of fashion? the placing of plaited silk or satin flounces on tailored skirts intended for street wear. A smart tailleur for oiitnmn is a tete de negre broadcloth with a tunic and belted coat. The tunic extends to the knee, where there is a five-inch strap or belt of the ma terial which appears to button over a' deep flounce of black accordion plaited satin. The flounce is not long enough to hide the trim buttoned walk ing boot, for all skirts now make dia coming the brimmed hat can be. Usu ally It Is trimmed with a broad band of ostrich. An example of this style Is shown In the picture, and for shape and manner of trimming It cannot be Improved upon. In the pretty velvet turban at the right a narrow fringe of curled ostrich extends about the top of the coronet and the edge of the crown. An ap plique of fancy braid gives a touch of color at the side. Metallic ribbons are used in bows to finish turbans of this kind. This Is an excellent model for women of middle age. More distinctly suited to the ma tronly wearer Is the turban with a wide fur band about the coronet, headed with a band of steel beads. ' Tim /tiuinn <o AvfonHaH tn atmnlnfp a loop of velvet at the center and over hangs the coronet at the back like a tam. This method of draping the crowD gives the turban the necessary height. A collar of white fox fur is effective ly worn with this smartly designed hat. Collars and boas of ostrich serve the purpose of fur. They are made in many colors and combinations of colors and are very popular. th Tailored Suits . lingerie laces to embellish the plain ! sheer fabrics of which most of them , | are made. Just now, to be worn with tailored suits, there are "laundered sets," by which is meant stiff collars and cuffs which are either plain or embroidered, and starched into the required stiff ness. One of these collars, with one of the cuffs to match, is shown in the picture. It has a small vestee and fastens up rather close about the neck. The cuff is provided with a little tab which is pinned to the coat sleeve. The crisp freshness of these sets adds 100 per cent of style to the plain street suit. Similar sets of sheer or gandie are just as pretty. A plain vestee with military collar, made of organdie, is also shown in the picture. The fronts of the vestee are hemstitched, the edges of the collar finished in the same way, and the col lar attached to the vestee with hem stitching, which is the one decorative feature of this piece. This standing collar is a novelty that will be welcomed b women who , prefer to have the throat covered and those to whom other types are not be coming. Among the prettiest collars, with cuffs to match, are severe and simple ! I _?..i? tha mil-over collar, made of ! Sljiea in ? - organdie. Often the only ornament is j a narrow, transparent fluted edging. The collars fasten up moderately close about the neck.
