COST OF LIVING IN THIS STATU.!
???
State Agents Continue Inquiry.;
Charleston Figures.
Columbia. Dec-. 4.?Investigation I
into the cost of living was continued |
by agents of the State department of
agriculture and some interesting data
is being collected.
Practically complete reports show j
that Columbians consume S.TSO.OOOl
eggs each year. There were .11 .">,000 '
dozen eggs received by the cold storage
route from the West.
Canvass of the shippers indicates
that 2,1 S9 cars of grain are received j
in Columbia for this territory each.
year. Last year there were 895 cars;
of meat consumed- by the "Squarej
Meal Town." The meat shipped in-j
to Columbia would provide for several
million square meals.
Citizens of Charleston consumed
$259,000 worth of Western meat,
the inspectors report.
The people of the City bv the Sea
also consumed $150,000 worth of
onions, so say the inspectors of the
department. During the year they
purchased $207,500 worth of Irish j
potatoes.
One grocery firm in the State reported
the following purchases from
outside the State: Five carloads of
horse feed, three carloads of poultry
feed, one carload of storage eggs, 10
carloads of corn meal, 10 carloads of
flour, three carloads of Irish potatoes,
one carload of condensed milk, onehalf
carload beans, three carloads of
molasses, two carloads of bacon, two
carloads of lard and one-half carload
of butter.
Columbians consumed, it is said,
about 500,000 pounds of butter. The
average price per pound was 27 cents.
ARMY INVISIBLE.
View of Fighting Line Shows Hardly'
Trace of Forces.
In Flanders, Dec. 3.?A visit to the
French trenches in Flanders by a 1
correspondent of the Associated '
Press under the auspices of the 1
French general staff is here describ- >
ed.
Standing in the shelter of a won- '
derfully ingenious and deep dug
trench in what undoubtedly is the (
bloodiest battle field in European (
history, the first and most notable 1
impression of an observer is one of ,
utter surprise at the absence of
movement and the lack of noise. ]
Within one's range of vision, with
strong field glasses, there are probably
concealed no less than 100,000
men but except for the few French ;
soldiers, with rifles in their hands, ,
standing or kneeling in the imme- \
diate vicinity and keenly peering ]
over the flat land toward the posi- ;
tions known to be held by the Ger- .
mans no human presence was notice- i
able.
A staff officer supplied the iufor- ,
mation that behind a slope some 300 j
yards away many German guns were <
hidden from sight but only an occas- <
sional burst of flame and a sharp (
whirring sound coming from an in- ,
definite point told of the presence l
of this artillery. j
A little forest to the left is be- A
lieved to be bristling with machine <
guns, backed by infantry in rifle
pits and covered trenches. The approach
to these positions has been
made almost impossible from the
standpoint of an infantry attack by '
barbed wire entanglements strewn
with brush and branches of trees
and having the appearance from a
distance of a small scope of heather. '
-ART WORKS"BURNED.
Destroyed in Ship's Hold During Pas- j
sage From Europe. I
New York, Dec. 4.?Paintings and j
art objects of an estimated value of f
about SSOO.OOO were destroyed by j
fire in the hold of the freight steam- (
er Mississippi, which arrived here on (
November 27, it became known when 2
the shipment was examined by cus- (
toms officials and representatives of t
insurance companies. (
The fire started soon after the i
Mississippi left Havre but as it was ;
soon extinguished the vessel pro- <
ceeded to this port and no news of
the fire was given out. Crates con- i
taining other paintings were not j
opened but as they are badly char- (
red, their contents also are expect- j
ed to be a total loss. The works de- <
stroyed were consigned to New York i
art dealers. ,

Five Hundred in Church Cut to
Pieces by German Shells.
London, Dec. t>.?How 500 1
French troops were betrayed by a '
spy last Tuesday is told in dispatches
from Dunkirk. The French soldiers
were sleeping in a church at Lampernisse.
A spy displayed lights in
the belfry, which notified the German
artillery of the presence of the j
troops. A bombardment followed i ,
and the sleeping men were cut to!
pieces by exploding shells, which also
set fire to the straw on which they
had been lying.
CHAIKiK OF MI HDKK.
Fairfield Man is Attested in \ew- j >
berry.
Newberry, Dec. ?Policeman \Y.
5. Me'ton arested a young man last f
night who was loitering about the I ,
railroad station, taking him to be a j x
man wanted in Fairfield county on \ {
the charge of murdering a negro wo-j ,
man. After his arrest the young j \
man acknowledged that he lived in j t
Fairfield county and that his namei ?
is the same as that of the man charg- j j
ed with the crime, adding that "they : t
will say 1 did it anyhow;" The po-! t
lice here .have been looking out for k
the man several days, having receiv- s
ed a letter from Sheriff A. D. Hood. t
ot^ Fairfield, asking them to be on f
the lookout for him. Sheriff Hood
gave the man's name as Lanzy Es- {
ters and says he is charged with f
murdering Millie Ann Jackson in
Fairfield county November 27; that
he is 20 or 21 years of age, weighs 1
about 150 pounds, five feet eight or 1
nine inches high, broad face and i
scar in the right corner of the c
mouth. g
The man arrested answers the de- f
scription. Sheriff Hood came over to- "
day, identified the man as the one ^
wanted and carried him back to
Winnsboro, leaving tonight on the
9 o'clock train by way of Columbia. ^
Sunday Laws to lie Enforced.
Columbia, Dec. 5.?The construe- ^
tion of the Sunday ordinance for to- ],
day will be the same as that put up- ii
on it by John W. Richardson, chief
of police, for the last three Sundays. ^
This forbids the sa!e of cigars and ?
tobacco, soft drinks and ice cream, ii
and the operation of shoe shine par- ?
lors, barber shops and fruit stands.
The operation of "blind tigers" and
gambling places has been declared e
illegal for all days.
When the city council determined t]
last Thursday that the ordinance was
to remain unchanged, C. S. Monteith, b
city attorney, said that all future Cl
cases for alleged violation of the
Sabbath day ordinance would be 5
brought to trial. The cases pending fi
at that time,'numbering more than ^
50, were ordered nol prossed by _
council, so that citizens of Columbia i
could start with a "clean sheet" to- (
day. ^
SEEKS BROTHER LOST 51 YEARS.
Iowa Widow Still Advertising for (
Man Who Ran Away from Home.
Philadelphia, Dec. 2.?Fiftv-dtae (
years ago Samuel White, the 15-yearald
son of Collins White, of Prince- a
:on, N. J., ran away from home. He ?
tad spoken of joining the Northern ^
irmy in the war between the States, g
ind it was supposed that he did so, _
.tut his relatives were never sure. p

LITERACY IX DENMARK.
.Inly One Per Thousand Unable to
Read and Write.
Washington, Dec. 4.?Only one
Person in every thousand in Dennark
is unable to write and read
compared with seven of every one
housand in the United States. This
'act is disclosed in a report by H. W.
Foght, of the federal bureau of eduction,
of his investigations of school
conditions in Denmark. It is shown
ilso that of 260,000 Danish children
)f school age only 370 failed to at- >
:end school during 1911. .Mr. Foght
ieclares that compulsory attendance
ipon school children between the
iges of seven and fourteen is so
strictly enforced in Denmark that
'the* fow wlin n^rQict in avnir1inpr
. ? 1? I
their legal responsibilities are pun- |
ished so severely that they are glad L
enough to change their minds." The F
people are so imbued with the value _
af education, he says, that they will
go to any extremity to keep their
children in school.
The secret of Denmark's high
pplaee in educational affairs, according
to Mr. Foght, lies in the hold
which the teacher has upon the entire
people. The teacher lias high
social rank, is a leader in both church
and State, and is invariably pensioned
for disability or age.
A Iteinarkable Meal.
L
A summer tourist was passing ..
through a German village in the west s
recently, when a stout German girl
came to the front door and called
to a small girl playing in front.
"Gusty! Gusty!" she said, "come in ; y
and eat yourself. Ma's on the table
and pa's half et!" jx
NOW STATE WAREHOUSES.
Several Buildings in Orangeburg Taken
Over.
Orangeburg. Dec. 3.?An authoriz>d
agent of John L. McLaurin. State
varehouse commissioner, has just
'isited the city of Orangeburg and
lose.l contracts by which the comnissioner
takes over the commodious |
mi'dings of the county fair associa-j
ion and the warehouses of William |
5. Barton, Jr., and J. C. Hayden, Jr..
n this city, and will immediately put
hem all in condition for the recepion
of cotton. With these accomnodations
added to those already in
service, there can be housed here
housands of bales of cotton in perectly
safe buildings.
It is understood that Messrs Baron
and Hayden will each manage
or the commissioner his warehouse.
The visiting lady had kept her
lostess at the open door fully an
iour saying good-by. Finally an
rate masculine voice indoors called
iut, "Say, Maria, if you're going out,
,'o; if you're staying in, stay; but
or heaven's sake, don't ooze out."
