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. Hayden, Orangeburg,
Orangeburg county.
Vice President?R. A. Sligb, ol
Siigbs, Newberry county.
Secretary?H. N. Bolin, Neeces
Orangeburg county.
Treasurer?James Hartman, Prosperity,
Newberry county.
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. Toe

Newberry, as alternate.
Negro Population Decreasing.
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

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge s
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swam]
' Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills ever
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in tb
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every pa:
of the urinary passage. It corrects inabiiit
to hold water and scalding oain in passin
it, or bad effects following use of liquoi
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpieasar
necessity of being compelled to go ofte
during the day, and to get up many time
during the night. The mild and the extr<
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is sco
realized. It stands the highest for its wor
derful cures of the most distressing case:
If you need a medicine you should have th
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. size:

The 31 no Back Speller.
Wilmington Messenger.
A sensible move 16 taken by Chict
ra College, tbe Presbyterian schot
for young women at Greenville, S. (
It is nothing more Dor less than
return to tbe old bice baek spellin
book. Webster has been resurreete
in this school. His speller is place
in the hands of every scholar, froi
those in ihe preparatory departmer
to the seniors. It is a pity this i
not done in all the school?, and mor
attention paid to teaching pupils t
spell. This important branch c
education receives far too little a
tention in the schools of the preeer
day, especially tbe public school
These institutions turn out a class <
spellers far inferior to the gradual*
of the day prior to the introduclio
of the new methods of instructioi
j Good spelling is of as much impo
| tance to tbe youth who intenc
entering buiiue36 life as any other <
rudimentary branches of cducatioi
yet most of the graduates of 01
high schools and preparatory schoo
are very deficient in this branch an
it is a thing that cannot be learne
in after life. It must be drilled int
the scholar. Ia old times boys an
girls were made to be good epehei
in their earlier days at school, an
like the art of swimming, when one
j acquired it is never forgotten.
