looooo 1lokets atTWo Dollars Hooh,
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1879-02-20
The letter referred to in the above
communication is as follows:

CoLUMnUs, GA, February, 1879.
DEAR SIR--I notice in tho ycteri-
nary department of the New York
World that you asked that paper if the
feeding ofmulcs and horses on corn
that has been somewhat injured
by being ovcrilowcd by backwater on
river bottom, will injurc them. L do
nor think Doctor Smiths reply toyour
inquiry meets your, case. Of one
thing you can rest assured, viz, ncw-
ground corn fed to mules and horses
will give them blind staggcrs. A
friend Of mine lost two valuable ami
mails by feeding them OH ncw-ground
cOrn-[ mean corn raised on newly
cleared land. The first two cropp
should not be fed to mules or horses.
Tho proprietor of the line of stages
running from this city to Macon, Ga,
years ago, before railroads, told mo
that he lost many horses by blind stag
gers, until he found out that corn
raised OH new-ground would cause
it; and that after he refused to pur.
chase any corn but was raised on old
land, he had no moro cases of blind
staggcrs. Now, your river bottom
may have been cleared a long timc, SO
that you do not call it w-grand; yet,
if that portion of it which Is annu ally
overflowed, has deposited upon it q
rich humus, may it not act upon tho
corn the same as If it was freshly
cleared land? Tell every farmer you
know about tho danger of feeding
corn raised on new-ground to mules
and horses--hogs and human beings
can eat it.
1 send this to the postmaster Of
Winnsboro, thinking ho may know
whom to deliver it to, and hope you
will lose no moro stock in tho way YOU
have, and will cndcavor to spread this
information rs extensively as possible.
Very truly yours,
II. BURNHAM.
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1879-02-20

md comments on that war. I fully
and heartily concur with Major
Woodward, that some action should
be taken, and also heartily endorse
his idea that every Democratic club
hold meeting and fully discuss, and
then take such action as they in their
wisdom may deem proper. And,
furthermore, Messrs. Editors, I most
cmphatically disagree with you as to
the course to be pursued by us in this
warfare. From my standpoint / think
1t perfectly right and proper for the
Democracy to take right hold Of the
matter, as its legitimate work. When
and how was this "Guano War" origi-
mated, and by whom inaugurated? 1
will try to answer. l hold and submit
that those monopolics that have de-
clarcd Gas it were) this war arc crca-
lures of the Democracy of this State,
and assert this without fear Of con-
tradiction. Our Legislature, in their
exalted wisdom, thought proper to
take the right to dig the phosphatcs
from the laboring many and give into
the hands of u few rich corporations
or companics-for fear, us I have
heard it asserted, that some poor man
who dug few tons might not pay the
royalty to the State, and they would
therefore give the sole right into the
hands of a few, who, if they did for
get to pay the royalty on few thous-
ands of tons, it would not be stealing,
but simply an act of forgctfulncss on
their part. 1t would not do to charge
them with theft oh! no, they arc
high-toncd gentlemen, and that would
not do. And right hero rc-asscrt
that it is purely and lcgitimatcly the
duty ofthe Democracy Of this county
and State to look after these monopo-
lies, for it is their legitimate child and
not theirs by adoption; and there
fore repeat that we should take hold
OF this child Of our creation and give
it such admonition, or inflict such
punishment, as VIC its creator deem fit
and proper. Brother farmers, let's
take this matter in hand-do not let us
stand back and wait for some one to
come forward and do this work for us.
We have everything to gain, and
nothing to lose in this war. If wo
will unite by counties and then have
State organization, and then through
this source say to those greedy and
heartlcss children Of our creation, that
we will give you one bale of cotton,
weighing four hundred and fifty
pounds, for ton of two thousand
pounds (Which is another innovation
or change instituted by these guano
mon; who ever heard of ton of two
thousand pounds until people began to
use guanoD and this is all we will do
you can take it or let it alone, Just as
you choose.
AS to whether I agree with Major
Woodwardor not rs to the beneficial or
injurious effects Of guano upon the soil
l will withhold till another time.
Thine to the death against all mon
opolics of whatever nature.
... D. r. FEAsTER.
