FARM MACHINES COSTLY.
f Implements Sold at Exorbitant
I*rlces, Nays Federal Ilotly.
Declaring prices of farm implements

v arrant through "concerted uc\lon"
of manufacturers an<J dealers, the
federal trade commission has recommended
reopening of antl-truHt proceedings

Orlcln of Word' "Pixie."
A monograph In the London Fi
nanclal Times on the history of the
old Citizens' Hank .of Louisiana, at
New Orleans, reveals the orlidn of
the name "Dixie Land"?th" term
applied now to all the Southern
S'.ates and preserved in the famous
Southern war souk. "I>txie."y Prior

If sue paper notes, issued several millions
of hills In denominations l>f
$10 and $20.- hut mostly $10. The
$10 lillls were entrraved in French
with the French word "Pix" featured
on their hacks. The hills -became
known as "Dixie," and this money
heeomlric popular. Louisiana was referred
to as the "Land of Dixie." or
"Dixie Lard." KventuaPv the term

the South' rn States. This seems a
very acre* table explanation of the

the sub. fret of so much discussion.

A four room cottage, on White
street, opposite mill No. 2, of the
Fort Mill Manufacturing company.

front a broom that had accidentally
become ignited and In a few
minutes was practically destroyed.
A number of energetic young men responded
to the lire alarm with what
was left of the lire lighting equipment
bought by the town several years ago
and which probably yet would have
been In serviceable condition had it
been tnken care of. but by the time
they reached the burning building
and got the dilapidated hose In action
the lire had spent itself. Mr. White,
with the assistance of neighbors, got
most of his household effects out of
the house af^cr the tire was discovered.
The house was the property of
I*. A. Harris and Is said to have been
partially Insured.

writer on historical and scientific
subjects. The rush of treasure
seekers began with the discovery recently
of 25 skeletons, popularly believed
by many to he those of members
of the crew of n Spanish treasure
ship which foundered off the
Texas coast early in the 18th century.
It is pointed out that the "life" of a
skeleton buried In the sands of the
benches of the coastal country is not
more than to years, whereas the
treasure ships from Mexico to Spain
were discontinued after 1820, partly
because of the activity of Jean Laflltte's

One Favored (law in Russia.
There Is only one favored class in
itussia today. This class is cQint
posed entirely of theatrical women,
and they are*the theatrical stars and
beauties. The Russians have always
been passionate .lovers of the theatre
and, even under the present regime,
they treat their stage favorites as
so many queens. The actresses are
the only women in Russia who are
permitted to wear shoes in warm
weather. Even, the wives of soviet
dignitaries, such as Trotzky and Eenine,
have been obliged to bow to
popular sentiment. They 'may bo
seen any day in Moseow tripping the
streets bnrcfootcd.
