One of the day's surprises was the failure of the so-called Rryan Influ ences to develop any appreciable strength against the President. Stand by the President and do not euibarass him in his diplomatic ne gotiations with foreign countries," was the whole burden of the argu ment of the Administration leaders. They paid little attention to the In volved legal phrases of the situation. It was enough, they argued, that the President had said the reported atti tude of Congress as opposed to his policy was embarassing him abroad, and to that they stuck. Tributes were paid to the President by almost every Democratic speaker from Acting Chairman Pou of the Rules Committee, who opened the debate to Chairman Flood of the Foreign Affairs Committee. who closed it.

No ono can answer tho question pos itively as to w hether It Is cheaper than cottonseed meal, for the simple reason that our inquirer does not state tho price, either of this feed or of cotton seed meal, on his market, it Is quite safe to assume, however, since this feed is made up of cotton seed hulls anil meal and only contains ahout one-half the protein eontaluod In high-grade cottonseed meal, that It Ls [iiiflt. cheaper than cottonseed meal. It one of those so-called cotton seed feeds which, while complying with tho law, because the laws are de fective, are put on the market, because the manufacturers know that they can feet more for their hulls and meal mix ed In this way, than they can get for thotii sold separately. They merely take advantage of the Ignorance or carclessuess of the buyers and the de fective laws to sell a product for more than It Is worth. Usually these so called cottonseed feeds contain only a little more than one-half the feeding value of cotton-seed meal but sell for only $3' to $5 a ton less than standard cottonseed meal. With high-grade cot tonseed meal selling for $37..r>0 a ton, a feed like this should not sell for more than $20 a ton, at the outside. ? The Progressive Farmer. Insurance Companies to Leave Stale.

Various , for eign and American lire insurance com panies that have been doing business in South Carolina ar^ preparing circu lars notifying tboir agents in that state to suspend operations there, it was said here today, and those com panies that have not renewed their South Carolina licenses which expire April 1 are planning to allow them to lapse. This action Is understood, to be in pursuance of an informal decision reached at a gathering of representa tives of these companies in this city on Tuesday, at which consideration was given to the lire Insurance brok erage and anti-compact bills then pend ing, in South Carolina, and which have since been signed by Governor Man ning. This decision by the companies located here is declared to mean a vir tual abandonment of their lire insur ance operations in South Carolina. Who Does This Concern?
