Campaign Against Food Hoarders.
Tho food hoarder and careless shipper
and labeler is suffering as a result
^ of a vigorous campaign being waged
by the United States district attorney
at Chicago. Chemists iuid physicians
carefully inspect millions of dollars

fnr humors Pnnaiimntinvi ViVwwt n/
all kind is subject to the closest examination
before it is allowed to go into
the hands of retailers. Condemned
food is hauled by the truck load to the
municipal reduction plant and destroyed
by fire. The stench from some of the
condemned canned goods is so bad that
the inspector puncturing the cans is
compelled to wear a gas mask. Experts
examine goods in the big receiving

laboratory is maintained where products
of all kinds are tested.

NEW BUILDING BEING BUILT
T CONNIE MAXWELL ORPHANAGE
Greenwood, April 12.?One of the interesting
events at Greenwood recently
was the breaking of ground and the beginning
of work on a new building at
Connie Maxwell Orphanage. The house
will be built of Winnsboro granite and
red-faced brick, and will be covered
with metal roof. The stone masons in
full force are now at work upon the
walls and satisfactory progress is being
made.
The building will be used as a dormitory
for girls and will increase the capacity
for accommodation of children
.by-the number of twenty-five. Upon
the completion of this building the
population at Connie Maxwell Orphanage
will reach the number of 400.
Information is given out by the orphanage
authorities, to the effect that
even this increase in capacity will by
no means meet the situation. The demands
for admission of children have
for some time past been overwhelming.
Notwithstanding the general prosperity
of the times the numhgr of applicant**
appears not to have been reduced.
The new house is expected to cost I
about $25,000. It will be situated near |
me ssauiain Home end will be but e
abort distance across the City line from
the town limita of Greenwtood. Ttu
contractors are hoping to have the walls
pretty well up by the time the trustees
come for annual meeting in May.
The growth of Connie Maxwell Orphanage
has been steady and constant,
and the citizens of Greenwood rejoice
in its erer enlarging prosperity and success.
