MUST USE YELLOW FLOUR. Manufacture of Bleached Flour Dis continued on February 1. On Monday, February 1, the man ufacture of bleached flour by many mills In the Ignited States became a thing of the paul, a great number having agreed on that date to aban don the bleaching process according to the ruling of Secretary James Wil ton, of the national department of agriculture. The 'ruling against the manufac ture of bleached flour was first made to become effective on December 9. Then the secretary ruled that millers and dealers should be allowed six months in which to dispose of the bleached flour which they may have, on hand. While many mills will probably continue the manufacture for some months yet, others, notably the Indiana mills, abandoned the manufacture Monday, February 1. And with the passing of the white (lour manufacture passes the white bread which housewives have so long deemed absolutely essential to a well regulated meal. In Hs place will come the creamy, golden-colored pro duct that graced the table of long ago, when the bleaching process was a thing unknown to science. The reason for Secretary Wilson's ruling putting the ban on bleached i flour is that, in his opinion, sodium nitrate, the chemical most extensive ly used In the bleaching process, ls of Itself harmful to the human system, and that Its use conceals the pres ence of bran and middlings, vhich would otherwise not be used In the manufacture of flour. The millers do not agree with Sec retary Wilson and other food au thorities on this point. They con tend that if all the sodium nitrate taken Into a man's system In a life time through flour were taken in at one time, no harm would result. lt ls the general opinion among dealers in flour that the manufactu rers of the bleaching machinery will eventually appeal from the ruling of Secretary Wilson, but the manufactu rers have agreed to act In accord ance with the ruling until lt is finally settled. The law preventing the bleaching of flour by electricity goes Into ef fect June1 9. The manufacturers of the Alsop process that furnishes the bleaching machinery have served an injunction on Secretary Wilson to vacate the order and the hearing will come up thia month. The millers In the Southeastern Association, which comprises many of the large plants in Indiana, Kentuck, Tennessee and Georgia, have decided to quit bleach ing on February 15, and as many of them are carrying large stocks of bleached flour, this will give them BUfflcient time to dispose of their stock prior to the time the rule ls effective. Jobbers and retailers who may be carrying stocks in South Carolina af ter the rule goes Into effect will prob ably be given several months to dis pose of stocks, as tho commissioner of agriculture made this nillup when the pure food law went into effect a year or more ago.

SCOTT & BOWNE. 409 Pearl St., New York TO ESTABLISH MOOKI S A UM. Hltchcok Farm In Atke*r County Will Be a Wonder. (Columbia State.) Through the efforts of Commis sioner Watson, Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., the wealthy Kew Yorker, who brings South every winter a i-tring of horses valued at $75,000, is to es tablish in Aiken county a model farm. This will be one of the great est demonstration farms in the en tire country. Commissioner Watson and Prof. Ira Williams, who is In charge of the United States farm demonstration work in South Caro lina, returned to the city last night, after having appeared before Mr. Taft, In Charleston, and having spent Monday with Mr. Hitchcock at Aiken. A short time ago Mr. Hitchcock wrote Mr. Watson saying that he owned an extensive estate In Aiken county; that he was anxious to make it of value to South Carolina farmers; that he wished to enlist the aid of Federal and State govern ments In the matter of the direction of operations upon this extensive property, and that he was willing to meet all the expenses necessary to make this a farm that would be an educational agency in that part of the State. Just as soon as these olllclals were through with Mr. Taft In Charleston they went to Aiken nnd had a full conference with Mr. Hitchcock, go ing over the 5,000-acre plantation ! that Mr. Hitchcock has bought there. The result of the conference will be ihat the United States gov ernment will Immediately undertake to put Into Operation on Mr. Hitch cock's place a series of practical dem onstrations Intended to be of value to the farmers of the surrounding country that have not been excelled in any given locality In this coun try. The visitors found Mr. Hitchcock thoroughly aroused on the subject, and returned to Columbia feeling that they had discovered a situation that meant more to the future of the sandhill country in this State than anything that had developed In the last decade. The gentlemen representing the State and the Federal government who went to Aiken were much Im pressed by M.r. Hitchcock's sincerity in this.matter, and express their be lief that they will be able, through Mr. Hitchcock's offer to Inaugurate and maintain a work of far more value to the agricultural Interests of the State than any other* line of work now being prosecuted. The offer of Mr. Hitchcock '>n doubtedly marks an adv?nce In the cause of Intelligent .-.grlculture, and If what ls proposed does not result ns both Messrs. Williams and Wat son expect, lt will not be their fault. They expect LO leave no stone unturn ed to make this experiment a con spicuous one from the standpoint of results. Mr. Watson said to-day that he regarded this whole matter as something of more real Import to the cause of agriculture than almost anything that had come his way since he bad been In otncc.

GRAFTING AND TYRANNY. Serious Charges Drought Against n Negro Hlsbop of Atlanta. Atlanta, Ca., Keb. 6,-Formal 1 charges of grafting and tyranny have been made against Bishop Clip ? les Spencer Smith, of ti:? \?rican Metho dist Episcopal church, who resides in Atlanta, and who superintends the work of thc church In Georgia and other Southern States. The charges are made by the Rev. Dr. Harmon and other African Methodist Episco pal ministers in Georgia. They will be passed upon' by the college of bishops. The charges allege that Bishop Smith, In making appointments forced preachers who were given good places to pay him for making the appointments. If the preachers refused, they were sent to poor places. lt ls also alleged Bishop Smith published two booklets and forced his preachers to buy them at $1 apiece. The bishop n, also accused of forcing each presiding elder to pay him $2 in order to keep up the Epis copal wardrobe. Antiquity of the Sausage. (London Globe.) The sausage dates back (o the year 807. It has been asserted that the Greeks In the days of Homer manufactured sausages but this pre historic mixture had nothing In com mon with our modern product. The ancient socalled sausage was com posed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the Kreuch market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pork become known. It was in or near the year 1600 that, thanks to the Introduction Into Ger many of cinnamon and sab ron, the sausages of Prankfort and Strass burg acquired a universal reputa tion.

That the South Carolina, the new "biggest battleship" ot the United States navy, will be presented with a silver service costing either $5,000 or $6,000 is practically assured. The Senate committee has reported favor ably with amendments making tho appropriation to be oasiied with the joint resolution $5,000 Instead of $6,000 as provided and the House committee has also reported favor ably upon the resolution. The matter lins nokbeen discussed In the Senate yet, buf th?Ve will not likely be any opposition in either houso on the passage of the resolu tion. The South Carot illa will b? a com pleted war machine in 12 months and I? one of the battleships author ized by Congress In the naval appro- | prlations act ot .March 3, mob. her siste- ship being the Michigan, which was launched a few weeks ago at the dock of the New York Shipbuilding Company. The South Carolina ls being built by the Cram Steamship Company, of Philadelphia. The contract for her construction was signed on July 21, 1906. Her keel was laid December 18, 1907, and she will be . illy com pleted and turned over to ihe United States on December 21, 190?. The contract price, exclusive of armor and armament, was $3,540,000, When completed she will have cost the government about $7,000,000. Some of the features of the big ship are: Length between perpendiculars. .150 feet. Breadth 80 feet. Draught 21 feet 6 Inches. Displacement, lt'?,000 tons. Engines, 17,000 horse power. High speed, 1 S V? knots. Bunker capacity. 2,100 tons. The main battery will consist of eight 12-inch breech loading rides mounted in four turrets. The South Carolina will have a displacement of 16,000 tons; a speed ! of 18.5" knots; coal carrying capacity of 2.100 tons; armor belt, 12 Inches; barbettes and turrets, 10 and 12 inches. Armament, eight 4.5 calibre 12 lnch guns; 22 3-lnch guns, torpedo I tubes, two submerged 22-lnoh. Her length between perpendicu lars will be 150 feet; breadth on load water line, 80 feet; mean draft, 2 4 feet 6 inches; full load displace ment, 17,600 tons; horse power, 17,000. Her total complement, in cluding officers and crew, will bo about 900 men. This battleship ls of particular In terest because she ls one of the first of our battleships designed after the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese war, and her designers have em bodied In her the Ideas gathered during the naval operations of that conflict. Possibly the greatest change made in her construction from that of for mer ships ls the elimination of the intermediary or secondary batteries, which were composed of 5-inch, 6-inch, 7-Inch and 8-lnch guns. In stead of having these guns, the cus tomary number of heavy guns in the main battery ims been doubled, so that instead of four 12-Inch the South Carolina will carry eight such guns, mounted in four turrets. A large battery of small rapid fire guns is retained, however, as defense against torpedo boat attacks. In general appearance the South : Carolina will differ greatly from any other of our battleships. The most noticeable novelty will be the four 12-lnch gun turrets mounted in pairs on the axial Une of the ship, two for ward and two aft ol' the superstruc ture. Since the displacement of the ship was limited by act of Congress lo 16,000 tons, it was necessary, in order to save weight, to reduce the freeboard of th(> ship by rino deck, from the after end of the superstruc ture to the stern. The two turrets of each pair are mounted in close proximity to each ot uer, on roof of the turret of the adjoining pair. lt lins been proven by experiments thal there is no blast interfeieuee and therefore all ol' the 12-lnch guns tire available for training through a maximum are ol' fire of 270 de grees. lt is possible lo Ure four guns ahead or astern, and tight on each broadside. The forward guns have a command of 24 and ?12 feet re spectively and the after pair 24 and 16 feet and ?2 feet respectively. The armor protection has been care fully worked out, its most important element being ?1 water line belt of I I inches thick, eight feet wide and more than ?100 feet long. The case ment armor above this will be nearly :100 feet long and from 8 to 10 Inches in thickness. With this nssociated triangular athwart-shlp armor ten inches thick, fitted at the alter end ol' the armor bell between the protective deck. There will be an athwart-shlp armor bulkhead ten Inches thick, extending entirely across the ship nt the for ward end of the belt. Other armor bulkheads will conned with the out side casement plating. Schooner Goes to Pieces. Wilmington, X.
