C, Feb. .">.?A subcom mittee, composed of W. W. Dlxon of Falrfleld, F. M. Bryan of Charleston and C. D. Lee of Darlington from the State house and grounds, has put in a claim for $KLr>r>0 on behalf of Todd & Benson, architects of Charleston. Of this amount 900 is for a plaster model of the State house as it would appear were the plans of tho ar chitects to bo adopted. The model is very pretty. The subcommittee asks the State to pay the architects $12,000 now, which is about one-fifth of the total cost of the plans they have drawn for remodeling the State house, add ing xan eastern and a western wing and a new dome. Tho remaining $650 of the $13,r>r>0, is for the traveling ex penses of A. W. Todd, senior mem ber of the firm of Todd & Benson, wdio is in his third term as a mem ber of the house. The minutes of the meeting of the subcommittee on September 27, 1911, at which the members of the com mittee, Qov. Bleusc und A. W, Todd were present, say in regard to this traveling expense item: "Mr. Dlxon then moved that Mr. Todd visit as many of the members as possible, and us.! any means In his power to acquaint them of the contemplated work, at a cost not to exceed $1,000." The minutes are sign ed by w. w. Dlxon. Tho details of the claim for $13,550 i; told in a special report made by F. M. Bryan for tho commitco on State house and grounds which the ' but! ? printed in Its journal Thursday. From tho report it seems that Todd & Benson <?!' Charleston were em ployed as architects by the subcom mittee. Under the terms of a concurrent I resolution, passed at the last session ; of the house, the governor was au thorized to appoint a committee or in struct tho committee on State house and grounds to employ an architect who Wits to make estimates and plans toward carrying out the recommenda tions of tlie governor in his special message in regard to the undesirable proximity of the toilets at the lower entrances to the State house. The governor accordingly Instructed the committee on State house and grounds to take the action which the concur rent resolution authorizes. As a result the subcommittee com post d of F. m. Bryan, chairman; w. W. Dlxon and C, D. Lee, drew up an agreement with Todd & BeilSOU, Char leston architects, to prepare plans and estimates for the improvement of I the State copltol building ami to per form such other duties as are usual ly required of architerts. The agree ment says that for the services so rendered fees shall bo those estab lished by the American Institute of Architects. The institute has. agreed that, "minimum charge based upon the total cost of the work complete Is 0 per cent." A .w. Todd, member of the house from Charleston, reported to the com mittee that to cany on' his plans would cost In round numbers $1,000, 000. Tbis would make the State owe Todd & Benson some $00,000. one llfth of which Is payablo upon the completion of the preliminary studies and plans, the remaining four-fifths later on. Twelve thousands dollars of the $13,550 which the subcommittee- is asking for Todd & Benson represents one-fifth of the amount they may say is due them for plans for enlarging the State house by adding an eastern and western wing and a new dome. The claim for $13,550 has been re ferred to the ways and means com mittee of the bouse, which is expect ed to make a report soon. A bill was introduced by P. M. Bryan of Charleston providing for an appropriation of $900,000 to carry out the Todd plans for remodeling the State house. The bill was reported unfavorably by the ways and means committee.?The State. THE INWARDNESS OF FILES. The Cause Is Inside. Use Hem-Rold, the Inward Itemed).

A prominent banker of this city has received from a friend in North Carolina a communication setting forth the details of a business propo sition which, if established, would probably prove one of the biggest di vidend-paying corporations in exis tence. The banker has concluded that the proposition is such a good one Green ville ought to have It, and with the end in view of raising enough stock locally to warrant the establishment of the proposed business here, ho makes public the letter, hoping that the proposition will appeal to some one. The lettor setting forth the details of the proposed business rends as fol lows: Dear Sir: Knowing that you nre always in terested and open for an investment In a good live business proposition, I take the liberty of presenting to you what seems to me a most won derful business and In which, no doubt you will take a lively interest, and perhaps write by return mail the amount of stock that you wish to subscribe towards the formation of a new organization known as the Automatic Catskin Club. The object of this company is to ? pcrate a large Cat Ranch In or near Wilmington. N. ('., where land can be purchased cheap for the purpose. To start with, we will collect say, one hundred thousand cats. Each eat will average twelve kittens a year. The skins run from ten cents each for the white ones to Bovonty-flve e< nis for the pure black, This will I give up twelve million siv.ns a year to sell at the average oi thirty cents a pleco, making our revenue about throe million six hundred thousand dollars a year gross. A man can skin fifty cats per day Jat two dollars. It Will take inn to operate the ranch and therefore the net profit Will he about nine thousand eight hundred dollars a day. We will feed the cats on rates and ; will start a rat ranch next door. The rats multiply four times as fast as the cats. If we start one million rats we will have four rats per day for Ottcll cat, which is plenty. And then we , will feed the rats on the carcasses of the cats, from which the skins have been taken, giving each rat a fourth of a COt. Ii will thus be seen that the business will be ?Oft-UCttllg and automatic all the way through. The c;:ts will Catch the rats and the rats will eat the cats and wo will get the skins, and the profit. Awaiting your prompt reply and trusting that you appreciate this op ; portunity to got in on this "skin game" I remain. Yours very truly, ? -Greenville Dully News. t OM HU M I .

Constipation is often accompanied i and may be caused by weakness ol the nerves and muscles of the large ; intestine or colon.
