' Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.?Representative Croft, who succeeded his father I in congress, a^nd who will serve only for ; his father's unexpired term, will try to signalize his brief stay in congressional life by getting an appropriation for a pub- j lie building at Aiken. His father had in-l troduced a bill making an appropriation j for that purpose and it is still on the j * house calendar, but the son has reintroduced it and will work hard to secure it* t . One of his colleagues from South Carolina, Mr. Scarborough, is on the committee ( on public buildings and grounds, and will do all in his power to get the committee . to consider that bill. ' * Representative Johnson wasgivingMr. y Croft some fatherly advice to-day. It was of the "I told you so" order, however. ? ^ "When Mr. Croft was a candidate to sue- ' ceed his father he told the people of his district that if they would elect him for ! . the unexpired term he would not ask to be re-elected. This furnished the basis -V for the remarks of Johnson, who said: V: "Croft, here made the mistake of saying that he would not be a candidate for , l ; re-election. I told him me ought not to say it, but he did, and now he has found l that his people took him at his word. He ' ought not to have said so, and we might have kept him here for a long time." But Mr. Croft would not stay in con- > , gress if he coold. He says that he wanted * * r*? to qaCK W OUUUl oiuvuua auu iwfi.vvwv. of the handsome Jaw practice which was ^;^." -.one of the legacies left him by his father. ?W. W.

The Phosphate Industry. % The phosphate royalty has dwindled from $238,000 in 1903 po $9,782.01 in 1904 and the royalty has been reduced to encourage this languishing industry from $1.03 per ton to 25 cents per ,ton, the money now being perverted to the sinking fund, and there are petitions before the phosphate board for an abolition of the whole tax. The figures from Comptroller General Jones1 report are most interesting. There are but two companies now doing business in the State, the Central and the Stono Companies, and they together mine 29,664 tons. The report shows that there was some stone left over from last year, the total amount shipped being 88,928 tons, a decrease from last year of 28,818 ton& On the shipments this year there was a royalty paid the State of $10,784, of which the two companies now in business paid |9,780.01.

South fl Carolina stands tenth in the United^States j in this respect. The horses of New Jersey are the most valuable, the average of the f whole country is $67.93. South Carolina is one of the wealthiest ] States in the uuion in regard to mules, t There are 105,587 mules in the State. .] Only ten States have a larger number. The 8tate which has the largest number is Texas, where there are 3,000,999. The value of the mules of South Carolina is g $10,510,088, and in this respect the rank i of the State is eleventh.

The average price i per head in the Palmetto State is $90.50, while'over in.Georgia it is $104.02. The 1 average forthe entire' country is $78.88, showing these two States to be far above 1 the average. The milch cows of South Caroiina are < a valuable asset to the farmers and stock j owners. The figures of the animal bureau < show that there are 110,812 milch cows in < Sonth Carolina, valued at $2,812,678.

New Orleans, Jan. 9.?The cottonseed oil makers of Mississippi, New Or- n leans and Memphis in meeting in Jack- tl son, Miss., have advised the farmers not y to sell their seed, bat to use it as fertil- tl izer in improving next year's crop. In 0 other words, they have advised the farm- n ers not to sell them the raw material they n need, or at ieast sell a part of the seed fi crop. t This action was brought about "by the e ftrttanrilinunr lnw nriro nf rnttnn aaaI oil, which Is only 15 cents a gallon, as e compared with 30 cents last year. The <3 big crop has demoralized not only the c price of cotton, but of the by-products. f The only available remedy, &s seen by 3 mill men, is for the farmers to hold their s 1 cotton seed as well as their cotton. 1 t It was determined to hold a convention i at Memphis of all the men engaged in the < manufacture of cotton seed products, < which will arrange a general programme 1 ! of the course to be pursued to restrict the < l output of cotton seed oil, cake and meaL j r JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. j i . 1 1 Discussed in Oration the Nature and Mission of ( the Democratic Party. t CurcnwiATi, Ohio, January 7.?John^ ( Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Ga., was chief 1 orator at the Jackson day banquet of the .
