In view of difficulties which ar necesarily encountered in attempl ing to secure a uniform method o filling and packing standard contain ers, it is generally recognized' tha weight is the only really definit basis of sale, and for that reason th pound or hundred weight should b used where this is practical. An ej ception may be noted in regard t products which are carefully grade as to size in which case .the sales ma; be made satisfactorily by numerics count. Below is given the number o pounds of the principal commoditie required to make one bushel as esta blished by law: Apples, 60 pounds. Beans, 60 pounds. Calbbage, 50 pounds. Cherries, 40 pounds. Corn in the ear, 70 pounds. Corn, shelled, 56 pounds. Coirn meal, 50 pounds. Grapes, 48 pounds. Onions, 56 pounds. Peacehs, 50 pounds. Peanuts, 23 pounds. Pears, 60 pounds. ^ Peas, 64 pounds. Plums, 60 pounds. Potatoes, Irish, 60 pounds. i Potatoes Sweet, 50 pounds. *' Rice, 44 pounds. Tomatoes, 56 pounds. Turnips, 50 pounds. Wheat, 60 pounds. Transactions involving the sale o original containers sometimes can not be made on a net.weight basi without adding greatly to the cost o marketing. Perishable ' commoditie must be handled with all possible dis patch, and the time > and labor re quired to weigh each package woul more than offset the good whic might result from a knowledge o he exact weight. Furthermore, man; sales are made while the product are in transit to market, and even i the weight at time of packing migh occur as a result of shrinkage due t drying out or decay. Then, too, shipping package must be fille compactly without regard to weigh or the product may be damaged b the movement within the containei In general it may be said that trans actions involving the sale of packet fruits or vegetaibles !n the origins container should be made by th standard package, but when it i necessary to break such packages ii order to dispose of the commodit; in smaller quantities, sales should b made by weight or count.

The I state legislature at the last session passed a law requiring a written record of all seals of explosives. This law may furnish a valuable clue in connection with the wreck, said county police officials. f The reward of $5,000 offered by the Atlahta, Birmingham and Atlantic s railroad for the arrest and convicA ' a #V|1 x_ _ r j uon 01 tne person or persons wnu s wrecked the train was expected to i- (stimulate the efforts of all investigai (tors. d Colonel Bugg made the following h comment on the question raised bj f J.

" MORE THAN SCORE INJURED SERIOUSLY > Chester, Pa., Sept. II.?Between twenty-fie and thirty persons were drowned or crushed to death and more than a score of others were in jured here Saturday when foot path of the Third street bridge over Chester river collapsed. The dead and injured were part of a crowd of approximately seventy-five persons that had gathered on the structure to ' ?i.t. 4.1.~ I VYAUVU V11C CUV1VO UI pVilVC All | pling for the toody of a five-year.old J boy who had drowned a half hour be-1 foire. Many of the dead are women 1 and children. The bridge was an old-fashioned structure ninety feet long and cleared the water iby aibout twenty feet. It carried two trolley tracks across the stream and had one footpath. The river is about fifteen feet deep where J the accident orcunred An hour and , I | a half after the collapse, more than 1 twenty bodies had been removed to the morgue., At that time seven seri-j ously injured persons were in the 1 Chester hospital. All available police and firemen 1 were summoned for the work of rescue and searchlights were provided from nearby plants. A great crowd gathered at the ' morgue as the bodies were brought 1 in, and a police guard had to be 1 thrown about the place to restrain frantic persons who rushed to the building to see if relatives or friends : were among the dead. ' The child that was drowned had 1 been playing on the ibanks of the ? river and slipped into the water and i sank. Police were summoned and quickly threw out grappling irons > from a row boat. In the meantime news of the drowning spread, and i women and men rushed to the bridge ' in fear the child, whose identity was i not known, was their own. As.the police grappled in the murky wat? i around coal and Ice barges, the crowd grew and suddenly there was s a crackling sound heard and one end I of the footpath gave way. Those who fell into the water first x had no chance to escape, as others came tumbling upon them. They sank, and i the police believe some were forced > to the bottom of the river and are > still embedded in the mud. ,Gasolene Down 30 Per Cent. Do you know that the average price of gasolene for the entire country is now down to 20.3 cents per gallon?

Here is a dron of about 30 to the good of the national pocketbook, writes Sugarman's Indicator. CITATION FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION The State of South Carolina, COUNTY OF ABBEVILLE Probate Court.
