The extent of the robbery that has
been systematically carried on against
M. Frank, general dry goods mer
chant in Columbia,far greatly exceeds
the proprietor’s first estimate. In a
mysterious manner articles have been
disappearing from the stock for sever
al weeks. The morning the thief was
detected in the act he escaped
through a trap door he had used so
often for entering the store and mak
ing away with whatever goods he de
sired. Mr. Frank, the proprietor, im
mediately began taking stuck which,
when completed, resulted in the
startling discovery that $2,011 worth
of goods had been stolen.
Two white painters named Brad
shaw and Rowell had a one sided
street duel at the corner of Maine
and Laurens streets in Columbia Fri
day afternoon. There has been a feud
between the men for some time, and
Rowell claims that Bradshaw threat
ened his life. Meeting on the street
at an hour when it was crowded,
Rowell pulled his oistol and reckless
ly firtd at Bradshaw. One ballet
went wide of its mark, but the sec
ond struck Bradshaw in the shoulder,
and he fell to the ground. Rowell
met a policeman just after the shot
and gave himself up, while Bradshaw
was taken to the hospital.

BOARD OF HEALTH ACTS
IteHolutionn Adopted In Kegard to the
Kmallpox Situation.
I The following is a report of the
proceedings of the Board of Health
at its regular monthly meeting in
' the City Hall on Jan. 5, 1904:
There was a full attendance of the
members of the board, and all busi
ness was completed to date.
1. The smallpox situation was
then taken up. Motion by board to
notify officers and superintendents of
all mills and public works that they
hold all help out of mill until every
one has a physician’s certificate that
he or she is free from contagion;
aUo that all patients have their
premises thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected, and that no person shall
be allowed to work for individuals or
corporations while in any way with
symptoms, or has had symptoms of
smallpox, without a physician’s cer
tificate. Also, that the Chief of Po
lice see that all houses wherein
smallpox has been since Dec. 1st,
1903, be thoroughly disinfected.
2. The Board of Health heartily
approves the action of the Town
Council in billing the city with sug
gestions to the entire public of the
necessity of being vaccinated, and
stands firm in carrying out same
the letter.
3. All violators of this bill in ques
tion shall be handled by the law, and
further the Town Council shall pro
vide a place of safety for all such
violators whether they own a Pest
House or not, that the police may
not be subjected to the danger of in
fection by contact with them.
J. Moved by the board that the sec
retary furnish each practicing physic
ian with a blank, and that he be re
quested, under penalty of the law. to
make a weekly report to the secretary
of the Board of Health, as prescribed
by the blanks; and that it, shall be
the duty of the secretary to file these
blanks, and when contagious disease
shall appear the chairman shall be
notified promptly and at his judg
ment a meeting of the entire board
shall be called for the disposition of
all cases pending. On each Monday
these reports shall be handed to the
secretary and recorded in his book,
then immediately forwarded to His
Honor in the chair for disposition.

from the fact that it shows a con
siderable falling off in profits as com
pared with the twelve months pre
ceding the conclusion has been drawn
that the company had a poor year.
This conclusion is not at all justified,
it appears to us. Profits have been
of fair average proportions, as we
shall presently show, even though
not equaling those of the previous
year. We think it imnortant that
this should be understood, in view
of the recent experience of the Vir-
ginia-Carolina Chemical Company,
which has, as the reader knows, been
obliged to suspend dividends on its
common stock, and which besides its
other business is also in the cotton
oil business, through its control of
the Southern Cotton Oil Company.
The truth is, the year preceding
had been entirely exceptional in the
matter of profits, and it is only by
contrast with these exceptional fig
ures that the result for 1902 03 ap
pears unsatisfactory. In 1901-32
prnfits were reported $2 288 200; for
1902-03 they are given as $1,530 OS1.
Going back a little further, however,
it will be found that in 1900 01 the
profits were oulv $1,091,857 ; in 1899-
1900 they were $1,497 183; in 1898 99,
$1,637 814; and in 1897 98, $1,314,-
221. The reason for the high total
of 1901*02 is found in the pecu-
conditions that then prevailed
regards the products with
which the goods of the Ameri
can Cotton Oil Company ceme into
competition. The reader may not
know that the size of the cotton cron
and the price of cotton seed are not
the only factors in the business of
the Cotton Oil Co. The size of the
! corn crop is an element of equal, if
not greater, importance. When the
corn yield is short a diminished sup
ply of hogs and of hog products is the
natural sequence. Such a situation
j in turn means better prices and a
! larger market for the products of the
| Cotton Oil Company, sinje many of
these products compete with the
others. Bearing this in mind, and
recalling further that the fiscal year
1901- 02 followed the corn crop short
age of the season of 1901 (one of the
most disastrous failures of the corn
crop on record), it will readily be
seen that ic that period of twelve
months with prices steadily rising,
the Cotton Oil Company got advan
tages of no ordinary proportions, and
a repetition of which could only be
expected in the case of a repetition of
the conditions which produced them.
On the other hand, the fiscal year
1902- 03 followed the phenomenal corn
yield of the season of 1902, and the 1
trend of prices in this period of 1
twelve months wts therefore down
ward. The contrast, therefore, is be
tween rising prices in one case and
10 ! declining prices in the other case.
Stated in another way, 1902-03 sim
ply marked a return to normal con
ditions from the abnormal conditions
prevailing 'in the year immediately
preceding To show the course of
profits during the last six years, we
give the following table. We add for
each year the rate of dividend paid
on the common stock of the com
pany.

i the regular 6 per cent, dividends on

the previous year the dividends, as
already said, had been 6 per cent. It

From the foregoing it will be s en
that the average profit for the six
years (including the exceptional total
of 1901-02) has been $1,551,561, com
paring with $1,530 081 profits for
1902-03, showing that the late year
was just about up to the average.
The dividends paid also figure out in
much the same way. the average for
the six years being 3^ per cent, and
for 1902-03, 4 per cent. Out of the
exceptional profits of 1901-02 the
dividend declaration had been 6 per
cent , out of the late year's profits
the dividend, as just stated, is to be
4 per cent. We say is to be, because
the dividends are not announced un
til the close of the fiscal year and the
distribution is made in semi-annual
installments. On the 5th of the pres
ent mouth the directors met and de
clared 4 per cent, out of the profits
of 1902 03, payable 2 per cent. De
