the hogs which weighed a total o
24,190 pounds.
The hogs were graded by L. C
Madison of the Animal Husbandry
Division of the Extension Service
and buyers who had come to bid up
on the hogs were allowed to mak<
their bids. The sale was made on th<
ground to an Orangeburg broker an<
commission merchant, since his bi<
comnared favorably with prices or
the Richmond market to which i
had been planned the shipmen'
would be made.
Prices received were 17.23c. foj
first grade, 16.25c. for second grade
and 15.25c. for third grade. Then
were 69 grade one hongs in the lot
The total cash received for the sal<
amounted to $4013.90.
Other shipments will be made froir
the county in the fall. County Agem
Mills says, "There is a large numbei
of surplus pigs and shotes in New
berry County, and the cooperativ<
sale has solved the market problen
so that the farmers will not hesitate
to grow them out."
FORMER EMPEROR

?Since the former German empero:

daily going to and returning fron
his log sawing in the garden of th<
castle and then he is only withir
sight for about four seconds.
Replying to a repeated request foi
a declaration the former empero:
sent the following words:
"Tell the Associated Press that mj
attitude is unchanged."
The messenger, General von Es
tonff, says the correspondent n<
hope that anything was likely to b(
given out for publication. It is vir
tually impossible to glean anything
regarding the former emperor's lif<
or plans as everybody in the casth
is under strict orders to maintain si

t It requires no particular gift of

r Within the time of persons already
\ in advanced middle life, the manj

. New York in the morning, take sup-?
per at Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland
arrive at the Azores during the next
i forenoon, where he will stop for

f Paris before midnight the same
. night.
? The daylight part of the trip will:
i be made sitting in an inclosed seat

coach and with as little thought
of danger. At night he will retire
to his berth and sleep with as little
worry as he now goes to bed in hisj
