SOUTHERN MUST REFUND ' eAlleged Freight Over-charges R covered by Southern Cotton Oil Co, Washington, June 24.?The Inte State, commerce commission to-ds \ ordered the Southern Railway to r turn to the Southern Cotton Oil Cor pany the sum of $7,986, which is a leged to have been collected by tl company tfnjustly. The case is < considerable importance to both rai road and shippers. In December, 1909, the oil coe pany shipped sixty-eight bales of co ton linters from Barnwell, to Pa-* tucket, R. I., on which the railros assessed a rate of 7 8 % cents per 1 ( pounds, me oil company aucs* that this rate was unreasonable ar excessive to the extent that it e ceeded 53 cents. The "initial ca Tier," the opinion says, "quoted tl lowest rate on cotton linters applic ble to shipments moving under -1 - released valuation, but neglected 1 secure the shipper's signature to su< k release of valuation. The delive ing carrier collected at a highi - . rate." , The opinion held that "it the duty of the initial carrier, n< ^ only to advise the shipper of the Iot est rates applying in case of releaj of valuation, but when informed < .the shipper's desire to avail himse of such lower rates, to obtain tl shipper's signature in accordani with the tariffs.

LETTER FROM VETERAN. e- J. B. Tracy Recalls Interesting Events In South Carolina. r- My first experience of service was iy on the coast of South Carolina. We e- were ordered to Charleston and we a- were the^e waiting to take the steam ? * ?4 *Ua .1- boat, wnne we were waiuiig di mc ie wharf, a shaft ran up with a pulley, Df attached to it with a rope hanging il- down. My deceased brother soldier and friend, Gilie Osborne, grabbed a- the rope and swung off the wharf t- down in the mud and in water he v- went. It was a brave act for a young id boy. We left Charleston for Hilton >0 Head Island on the steamer. Someid times we were away out in the id ocean and could not see any land, x- Sometinies we traveled by lakes, r- And the boats would run aground ie and we would have to wait till the a- tide would rise before we couTci get a away. One night the boat was runto ning along smoothly; an orderly ser;h geant, who was on the lower deck, r- got up in his sleep and hollowed, er "Fall in men," and stepped out in is the water. We never saw anything ot of him after he stepped in the water, v- When we got down near Hilton se Island we looked out and there was a Yankee fleet. They looked like trimlf med pines in an old field. Some part ie of our ship gave away and it looked je like ^jre were going to be drifted into d- the Yankee fleet. If they had turned their big guns upon us we would have all sunk in the big ocean. We landed at the wharf of Hilton g_ Island. That was a grand scene to [e a 16-year-old boy; orange trees growing with ripe oranges on them. Some . r?f nnr hnvs went nut to set a few [a ie oranges, and the old man got mad and said he had rather the Yankees lt would have them than us, and I guess he got his wants. We marched that evening and got up in the rear s of the forth. Next morning about sun g_ up our battery opened fire against the ie Yankee fleet. Our regiment was*Iying down in the cotton rows. The Yin5_ kees threw a bomb shell at our regi3S ment and it fell about 200 yards in j .front of us. We thought that was about as far as they could shoot. ie The next one they fiirew fell in our it rearLe We were soon ordered to go over ? the battery and got in the entrenchment. We started up the slant and 4 the Yankees threw a shell and it hit ^ the ground and came bouncing right i(j down the road. Lieut. Jim Novies was killed by the shot and Daniel ;r Inman lost his arm. Our boys were all demoralized. It looked like to me ? the Yankees were going to bury us the sand bank. We retreated back to e a little town called Blufton in South e Carolina. We had to wade out in the / water to get on some flat-bottomed boats. They were attached to a [g Steamboat and it was so heavy, they couldn't pull us and the flats were (e cut loose and there we were. We had to send some men in who knew how to oar it, and we got out as it h happened. >s I am sorry to note the death of t four of our brave boys who have died: E. Bailey, P. J. Davis; W. C. Davis and L. Moseley doWh below Richmond on the 16th of Aug. '64. r~ the Yankees had taken a portion off our lines. Our boys went forward 011 under heavy fire and re-took the ie works, took off their hats and waved 1(1 th,em and hollowed "Hurrah for ie South "Carolina." J. B.

This is not due to the lack of good materials to work with, but is due to the | methods practiced. It must be re- , membered that the first essential in \ making good butter is to have good , cream. By good cream we mean ] cream that has been obtained from the milk gotten from healthy cow? j and drawn in a cleanly manner. The udders of the cows must be washed and dried before each milking and the milkers should milk with clean , and dry hands, and in such a way that as little dirt as possible get into the milk. As soon as the milk is brought in ; the house strain it thrpugh not less than three thicknesses of cheese . , cloth. This will get out all fine dirt and hairs. Strain into pans or bowls that have been well washed and sunned and place in the refrigerator or < the coldest spot possible. At the , end of twenty-four hours all the cream will have risen and may be taken off in any convenient manner. If the milk has been kept cool.enough it ^ill still be sweet, but under the , ucual conditions, where no ice U used, it will very probably have claDbered. , If the milk has not clabbered, it will be more convenient to put the cream where it may be kept cold and hold , it until a large churning may be made. If, however, the milk has clabbered when the cream is taken off, it will be best to churn at once. Cream that is very sour never makes a good quality of butter. The quality of butter is due largely to the following points: 1. Temperature at which the cream is churned. 2. Acidity of cream. 3. How the butter is washed. 4. Working and salting. These points will now be taken up in their order. The churn should al- , ways be scalded out with water before it is used. After scalding rinse out with cold water so as to bring the temperature of the churn to that of the cream that is to be; churned. The tenmerature of the cream should be such that the butter will come in from thirty-five to forty-five minutes. If it comes in less time than thirtyfive minutes, there will be too much butter left in the butter milk and th"* , butter-is harder to wash clean. The churning should stop when the gran- ; ules of butter are the size of grains of wheat. At this stage all of the butter has come and it is easy to wash, for eac? grain stands out so . that the water can get to it. If the , churning continues until the butter gathers into lumps the size of hen's , eggs or larger, it will be impossible to wash the butter well, as only the , outside of the lumps are exposed to the water. , When the butter has come draw oft the butter milk and add enough water to float the butter. The temperature of the wash water should be , slightly below the temperature of the cream when it was placed in the churn. After adding the water shake , the churn so that every grain of the butter will come in contact ^ith the water.* It is best to wrash the butter twice. The purpose of the washing is to get ojit the butter milk. Too much washing will destroy the flavor. * After the second wash water has been drawn off, take the butter out of the churn and put on worker. While it is still in the granular form add one ounce of the best grade oi { fine salt to every pound of butter. , Work salt in with paddle or lever of - --I--- 11.1. 11 1_ J . worker, dui never wun tue iutnu>. The object of working is to get out the excess water and to distribute the salt. Work until the butter has a waxy appearance. Too much working will ruin the grain and cause the butter to look greasy. At this season of the year very little if any color need be used, but if color is to be added, it should be put into the churn just after the cream. PROF. J. M.' BURGESS, Division of Animal Husbandry & v Dairying. Didn't Stay her Time Out. Old* colored Joe had for many years been man of all work for the Gor dons. When the family moved to another town, Joe remained in Reading. Several years later when Mr. Gordon returned to Reading on business, old Joe heard he was in town and went at once to the home of Mr. Gordon's sister. They were at dinner and at one of the open windows Joe took his stand, a pleased grin on his face. After Joe had asked about each membbr of Mr. Gordon's family, Mr. Gordon said: "Where's Harve, now, Joe?" Harve was Joe's brother. "He's daid, suh," returned Joe. A woman in Fort Smith ^shot him.'' "What did they do to her?" asked Mr. Gordon. "They put her in the penitentiary foh life?she didn t stay ner time out, - tho'," said Joe. "She didn't? Why not?" asked Mr. Gordon. "She's daid," said Joe. * r' FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. Ingel of the Crimea is Still Alive at Ninety Years. Florence Nightingale, the "angel of the Crimea" and the most famous of the world's living heroines, was ninety years old on May 12, and it was upon this anniversary that the following reminiscence of the great woman's golden aging and the leaning toward suffrage was told recently by Miss Nightingale's godmother,& Mrs. Florence Howe Hall. "It was only the briefest visit," said Mrs. Hall at the Hotel Judson, in New York city, "made in 1902 to Miss Nightingale's pretty home in Mayfield, London, where she had lain a bedridden invalid for &any years. But to me it has always seemed like a pilgrimage to a holy shrine. "Strangely enough, you know it was partly upon the advice of my father, Dr. Samuel Howe, that she undertook that great work to the Crimea forty years before. "My mother, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, and my father had just-been married in the early forties and were back in England on their honeymoon after visiting the scenes where father had fought and 'nursed' in the Grecian war. "Miss Nightingale, hearing of his presence, came to him and asked if a great work for humanity did not lie ; in the foundation of such a movement as has since developed into the Red Cross. 'I think so, and I think it is a woman's place to lead it,' said my father, and two years later Miss Nightingale was away at the German hospitals preparing for the events that even she could not then have foreseen., "Meanwhile she had become firmly attached to my mother, and when some years later I was born she asked that I be given her name. She sent me a beautifully bound volume of Shakespeare as a birth gift, and I think it the most treasured heirloom in our family to-day. "Long, long afterward, when her fame had become worldwide in the Crimea and after mother had also won note through the writing of the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic,'* Miss ' Nightingale wrote to send a lock of f her hair to mother and to ask that [ her godmother visit her if ever I came to London. And years aft?r that when I finally did get to London, ! [ recalled that invitation wfiich I had heard of as a girl and went upon the pilgrimage to Mayfair. "As I remember now Miss Nigh tin- j gale was sitting propped in bed facing a window that looked out upon a long vista of pretty cottages, tiny groves and their gardens. "She was eighty-two then, and even as she lay in bed I could see that before disease wasted her form she must have been a very tall and a very beautiful woman. W,I am very glad to see you, godmother,' she said, putting forth her hand and smiling sweetly. "Then she asked me after my mother; said she had never heard such an inspiring anthem as 'The Battle Hymn' and wished me to convey hef dearest love to my parent, whom she remembered to be just a little more than a year older than herself. "I did not press her to tell me of her Crimea experience, for that was a subject which she had long since put by. But 1 did discover that she believed in suffragist?not the militant suffragism of* the English radicals, but in a peaceful campaign that should go on gathering volume peacefull? through the years until it should conquer*from the sheer weight of its justness. t "I think we talked together half an hour. Then I said good-by. I left her home with one idea of her that has ? never faded?her perfect serenity, the serenity of a great woman who has done a great li'e's work and is content to await the end." Mrs. Hall, herself a woman of many literary accomplishments, has been a wAntflanf of fVio TJrifol TnHann fnr aov> 1 at tu^ XiVtVl U UUBVU AVX MV? eral years. She says she believes that Miss Nightingale has entirely abandoned correspondence in the philanthropic movements she aided until very recently. Snch a Bore to Dress. ^ A belated traveler, who was com- , pelled to stay all night in a backwoods 1 cabin down in the Little River country in Oklahoma, says that soon after the frugal meal, a tall, gaunt youth of 18 and an equally sallow and gaunt girl of 17, both bare-footed, took their hats from wooden pegs in the wall and prepared to go out, whereupon the mother, taking her pipe from between her teeth, said reprovingly: , "fin 'Inner an' tvucVi VOlir fppt T ,PV1 * I you and Looly, both! Hain't you i 'shamed to go off to an evening party J without washin' your feet?" They obeyed, but as Levi took the i wash pan from a bench by the door 1 he said with a grumble: "I'd 'bout as soon stay home from a party as to have to fix up for it." , ?New York Herald. i DO YOU N] Right now, perhaps, yon are \ to invest in some good busii off an old debt, or possibly, tc And it's jnst this way everj save many of the nickels an< time comes for profitable ini there would always be sometf] ency.
