WAGONS TO MAKE

A MOURIIIIIG TRIP Peoole of SDartansburg to Express Feeling Over Loss of Postoffice. BUY SUPPLY OF CREPE THE TRANSFER OF THE POSTOF FICE FIXTURES TO CRETE WILL LOOK LIKE A FUNERAL PROSESSION. Probably few, .if any, postoffices In the United States have ever or will be ushered out of existence as will the office at Spartansburg, Ind., on the morning of Jan. 18. when the star route wagons, which have heretofore carried the mail between Spartansburg and Crete, Ind., will be draped in the deepest of mourning, as they haul the office fixtures from the place which they have stood so long, to the office at Crete for further use. Some of the old material will not even meet 'such a good fate, as it will be sent to "Washington, at the orders of the postal officials there, where it will be destroyed. Earnest J. Rich, of this city, who has had such a hard time in pulling away from the official duties as postmaster of that little burg, will be present on the day which the star ioute wagons make their last trip. The crepe on the conveyances will only begin to show the real mourning In Spartansburg, as the result of the recent ruling by the officials in Washington. The citizens there, according to tho statements of Mr. Rich, are almost paralyzed by the blow, the postoffiQe having been their business headquarters. It is and has also been a center of social communication, as jrre all country postoffices, and the people can not realize that it the place, around which hangs to many memories is to be once and for all time rudely taken from their midst, while they will have to be contented with rural mail service from Crete. The affair has created several sore spots in the hearts of several of Spartanslmrg's foremost citizens, and they are loud in their condemnation of Congressman Cromer, whom they claim deliberately gave them the douHe cross.

It is the common expression you hear applied to the house that is well supplied with plants during the winter months. They lend an air of comfort to the home and remind one of the balmy days of the warmer, months.' A fern is especially an attractive plant for-indoors during the winter. Practically everyone in Richmond possesses either a Sword fern or a Boston fern, and have enjoyed having them about. Knowing the great popularity of ferns, therefore, the Palladium obtained the exclusive right to offer in connection with the paper three of the Whitmanfi ferns to each subscriber. The Whitmanii fern is a variation of the Sword and Boston ferns and completely outshines them in beauty besides being as hardyThe Whitmanii fern is an ideal indoor plant and has only to be seen to be wanted. If the solicitors have not yet visited you let the Palladium office know and a sample Whitmanii fern will be sent to you as quickly as possible, together with the terms under which you may obtain it.

RAILROAD MEN OF POWER TO' TESTIFY Interstate Commerce Commission Begins a Most Thorough Investigation.

HARRIMAN THE TARGET J. J. HILL ALSO TO BE MADE TO EXPLAIN THE CAR SHORTAGE AND FUEL FAMINE IN THE NORTHWEST. Publishers' Press. Chicago, Jan. 8. What will prob ably prove the deepest probe ever undertaken into the relations betweea the "Pacific railroads" under E H. Harriman's control, was begun here by the interestate commerce commission today. Nor was this the only development at the hearing. As a result of the pending investigation responsibility may yet be fixed by the commission on the J. J. Hill lines for the car shortage, fuel famine and the dreadful suffering the two have caused in the northwest. President Hill, of the Great Northern was called sharply to account for these troubles in a telegram from tho commission last night and today th's railroad magnate of the north is reported to be hurying to Chicago to tell the investigators personally why he can not comply with their deniaud that he remedy existing conditions. Charges by the Southwest Livestock association of railroad rate discriminations and of excessive terminal charges on cattle shipments also assumed unexpected importance. Disclosures of Mr. Hariman's meth ods of obtaining a voice in the management of railroads supposedly under control outside his own were made by President E. P. Ripley, of tne Santa Fe. Railroad men at the helm of the Harriman lines, wThse salaries run in the five figure column, are waiting to testify. The main purpose of the inquiry is to determine whether these lines have stifled competition sincrt Harriman became a power. Traffic Director J. C. Stubbs. of the Southern and Union Pacific systems, was oat spoken in the expression of his opinion that the Harriman interests will escape unscathed. HAS ANOTHER CARBUNCLE The Rev. Mr. Swadener is Suffering Much From Eruption on His Left Wrist. The Rev. Madison Swadener, formerly pastor of the First M. E. church in this city, now serving as minister of the Grace M. E. church in Kokomo, is suffering from a carbuncle on his left wrist. Rev. Swadener has several of these in the past few months and they have occasioned him much pain and inconvenience.

SIXTEEN- HOUR BILL DP

TALKED OVER IN SENATE LaFolletie says That His Measure Applies to All Common Carriers Doing an Interst-te Commerce Business Is Continued. Washington, Jan. S. The senate today briefly considered the LaFollette bill, which seeks to limit the hours of continuous labor by railroad men to sixteen hours. Under a previous agreement a vote is to be taken upon it Thursday. A score of amendments are already pending. A number were offered today, all seeking to permit longer hours of work where it was made necessary by the completion of "rules" by the train crews. Mr. Warren submitted a long number of protests from engineers and conductors in Wyoming, They declared that the enactment of such legislation will prove a great hardship to railroad men generally as it would necessitate their change of residence. Mr. Bacon inquired of Mr. Lafollette whether the measure merely included interstate lines or contemplated supervision over all trains doing an interstate traffic. The Wisconsin senator advised him that the measure vferre(l to anv common carried engaged in interstate commerce. NEGRO VOTE IS THE CAUSE Congressman Slayden Says Fuss Is Being Made Over Brownsville Affair for that Reason. IPublishers Press Washington, D. C, Jan. S. The dismissal by the president of negro soldiers was discussed in both nouses of congress today by Democrats. Mr, Daniel, (Va.), warmly defended the action of the president, except that portion of the order which provided that, the discharged men should ha barred from holding any position under the government. In the house Mr. Slayden (Tex.), in advocating the passage of his bill to prevent negroes from further serving in the army, charged that the reason such a fuss was being made over this case was because the negro vote had to be looked after.

Feeding the Milk Maker

Did It ever occur yon that there will be as much difference in the appearance of an animal fed upon well developed grains of corn and one fed upon shriveled kernels as there is difference In appearance in the two kinds of corn ? Good Food at All Tlmn. Every breeder should hare a complete understanding of his business and the Individual needs of each animal, so that there will be no lime In the year when the cow may not have an abun: dance of good, rich, juicy foods best suited for milk production. Xothingr Jnt a Good. The dairy cow is the hardest worked animal known. She must have the very . best feed to produce a large flow; of milk and nourish her overworked body. It-is a well known fact that the same amount of green forage that will satisfy an animal if allowed to dry out and fed with an equivalent amount of water will not satisfy its hunger. The moisture contained In succulent, juicy feeds has therefore a great digestive value to the remaining part of the feed. Many mixtures have been given, such as bran, beet roots, mashes and soaked or wet feeds of various kinds, but none of these has ever equaled In food value green feed stdred .up in an air tight receptacle, where it Is preserved, as In the ease of 'the silo, writes C. W. Melick of Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Silage contains just enough lactic acid to stimulate digestion,' while the natural enfermented foods do not. Calf leala. Calf meals Vr milk substitutes are manufactured In large varieties, and there is abundant evidence that they are extensively employed, a circumstance which renders it opportune to give a warning to cattle breeders both in respect to the quality and the price, toe iu many cases the latter Is out of all proportion to their true value at the market rates for feeding stuffs, and uo calf meals, however well prepared, can be worth some ' of the prices quoted. While I strongly impress upon stock owners the necessity of wjercising caution and prudence in th purchase of milk substitutes, I do not unreservedly condemn or advise their nonuse. On the contrary, there are several very satisfactory preparations on the market, provided their prices are reasonable. An Excellent Calf Food. In case, however, the market price and quality of calf meals are disproportionate the following will be found an excellent calf food, which, when used with a small allowance of pure linseed cake, has so far given the best results in my experience: This may be prepared by mixing two parts, by weight, of oatmeal, two parts of cornmeal and one part of pure ground flaxseed, all of which should be finely ground. This food should cost just about half the price charged for some calf meals. It should be prepared for use by boiling with water and allowing to stand for twelve hours. Beginning with one-quarter pound per bead per day for calves a month old, new milk being the proper food of the calf for the first month, the allowance may soon be increased to one-half pound and more per day as the calf becomes older. This ration may be profitably supplemented by one-half pound to one pound of pure linseed cake per head per day. W. It. Gilbert In American Cultivator. . . A Few Good Stories To Tell Your Friends IN the course of an oral examination one day at the Maryland university medical school a professor addressed a bright pupil and said: "James, if you were called In to see a patient who needed quinine, what would you give as a substitute for that in case you could not get it?" James thought a minute and replied, "Why, I would give him quinine, of course." "But suppose you could not obtain that drug?" said the professor. James thought the matter over again and said, "I'd give him quinine, professor, sure." ,- The old professor became exasperated and said: "It is plain that you are seeking to evade the question. Now, I want you to suppose that there is not any quinine within 500 miles." James hung his head in deep thought and finally answered, "Professor, I'd give him quinine If I had to go all the way to the north pole to getit." Ten-year-old Fred was going to a party for the first time. "Here's a half dollar, Fred," said hia father; "if it rains, be sure you take a cab home." When Fred got home he was thor oughly drenched. "Why didn't you take a cab? exclaimed his father. "I did, father," replied Fred, "and I sat on the box all the way home. Jt was glorious." A well known artist was walking with a friend one day when his companion suddenly discovered he had a tooth in bad condition. As the pair were passing a drug store the man with the throbbing molar asked the other: "What would yon advise for ' the toothache?" - . - "Why," innocently replied the artist, the last time I had toothache I wen home and my wife kissed it away." The friend paused a moment and then asked, "Is your wife home now?" Philadelphia Ledger. Your expected caller never disappoints yon when he is a bill collector. NOMINATED FOR SENATOR nODert L.
