Hanson, a janitor, was telling fellow employees at a drug store here today what he would do with the million dollars that Charles Garland, of Buzzard Bay, has refused, when a postman gave him a letter that told him he was heir to about a quarter of a million. He will accept the mon- . ey, he said, unlike Garland, but he will stay at his work of washing windows. and sweeping floors so that he will have something to do. Betwreen times he intends to smoke good cigars and have an automobile to take him out in the country for week-ends. The estate, according to Hanson, was that of James Moore, an uncle, who died several years ago, leaving the property interest for the use of his wife with instructions at her death it should be divided among seven relatives, one of whom was Hanson. Mrs. Moore died recently and the estate, which had been swollen to nearly $2,000,000 by war time investments, is about to be divided, the letter said. Buy at Home. Just at this time when cotton is selling below the cost of production j and the necessity of buying food- | stuffs, clothing and other articles pro- j duced and manufactured in other sec- j tions of the country is upon us, brings I home very strikingly the truth of I the statement of a New York man ; who recently made a visit to South Carolina and wrote back to friends in this state: 'The southern farmer I gets up at the alarm of a Connecticut clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls, washes his face with Cincinnati soap in a Penn^ j sylvania pan, sitg down to a uranu i Rapids table, eats Chicago meat and j Indiana ,homitiy fried in Kansas lard! on a St. Ix)uis stove, puts a New York j bridle on a Kentucky mule fed on: Iowa corn, plows a farm covered by ! an Ohio mortgage; when bedtime j comes he reads a chapter from a Bi-1 ble printed in Boston and says a pray-! er written in Jerusalem, crawls un-i der a blanket made in New Jersey, j to be kept awake by a South Carolina dog. the only home product on the place. Then he wonders why he can't make money in South Carolina."?Manning Times. ii t * WE H. :ahaa1 ll to the highest bi !ly of Dry Goods, h s must go regard 1< t buy elsewhere bi rdless of what you ranged to seat the J > $ ich and every sale fing in value from buy or not, your pi HOGS NEAR OLD LEVEL. Rapidly APproaching Quotations BeFore the War. Chicago, Dec. 2.?Hogs on the hoof have returned to what is practically their 1913 pre-war price, judging from the figures obtained today from one of the big five packers. Pork and pork products, at wholesale, are on their way toward the same level, the monthly report of the Institute of American Meat Packers indicates, and have reached the scale of April, 1917, when the United States entered the war. Beef also is on the downward patn, the wholesale price of carcass beef having dropped 17 per cent, since September 1, according to the institute's figures. The biggest drop recorded, however, is in live hogs. The packing house figures show pork on the hoof brought eight cents a pound in November, 1913. During the war the farmer was virtually guaranteed a minimum average of 17 1-2 cents. In July, 1919, the price reached 23 cents a pound. Today hogs are back around 10 1-2 cents. Retail prices, however, have not kept pace with the falling wholesale market, the packing house official said, but he declined to be quoted directly on the ground that retailers might be boycott his company. Quotations from two retail dealers, one whose store is classed as a high price establishment, and the other as a cut rate market, show a wide divergence in prices, partly due, however, both said, to a difference in the grade of meat handled. The bulletin of the meat packers' institute for the month of November says that during that period the wholesale price of pork loins declined 27 per cent., making a total drop of 45 per cent, since October 1. Other declines on November 29 as compared with October 1 of this year show: Smoked hams, 33 per cent; fancy breakfast bacon. 15 per cent; standard bacon. 25 per cent.: fresh skinned shoulders, 30 per cent., and lard, 10 per cent.

N Thousands Said to Have Been Contributed by New York People. New York, Dec. 3.?Fake magazines and civilians wearing army unii farms fleeced thousands of dollars from persons led to believe the contributions were for the benefit of crippled soldiers and sailors, it was alleged in a federal indictment returned today against William S. Brewer. The indictment charged him j with using the mails to defraud, i Several New York banks contribu{ ted to Brewer's fund, raised in the | name of his personal organization, I "the Ex-Service Men's Cooperative I league," said Federal Attorney Mati tuck. Brewer sought letters of com| mendation from President Wilson, i Secretary Baker and other officials, the attorney said. His uniformed agents solicited mo! ney in subway and elevated stations ! and in office buildings. They receivjed 15 cents commission on every 25 | cent magazine sold, but the authori! ties did not learn the size of the slice | they got from contributions. Since the scheme began to work Brewer has i deposited more than $50,000 in a New York bank, it was alleged, in * 1- 1- 1 j the name or tne woman oooKKeetsyei in his office. | He was not arrested today, his lawyer promising to produce him for pleading next week.
