MORE POLITICAL PEPPER.
with Col. Dutler's Compliments to Col.
Aiken.

Aiken.
COLUMBIA. s. e., March 90. 1886.
Editor Presss and Banner:
Ihave just read Colonel Aiken's COM
munication in your last issue. Permit
me to say that like him l am strongly
in favor Of q, farmers conventlon-not
one but many conventions. Public
meetings Of the farmers will do more
real good for their cause than all the
buncombe speeches made in Congress
in century, Il heartily approve Colonel
Aiken's suggestions concerning The
States department Of agriculture. l
an, prepared to say that any suggestions
from an organization of farmers or from
individuals for the improvement ofthe
department. will be. most gratefully re:
ceived, but trust that an Investigation
of the work of the7department will show
that lis already an honor to the State. u
Col. Aiken suggests that If the depart
ment is mot worth the money paid foi
it" such alterations in it's administra'
tons should be made as will bring it ur
to this standard. I also cordially en-
dorse this patriotic sentiment. Col.
Aiken asks ''why should a farmer feed
his cattle on cotton seed meal exempt
from taxation, whereas If he feeds his
crop on the same article he is taxed tol
the privilege" 1 will tell him. IT;
Legislature passed an act authorizing
the department of agriculture to analyze
all fertilizers sold in the State. Wher
cotton seed meal is ''fed to the crops
it becomes fertilizer. and as such is
subject to inspection, as it is liable te
adulteration. and is consequently fax
able. AS stock food it Is not subject tc
inspection by this department, I fea'
col. Aiken's suggestion in regard tt
this tax was inspired by the fact thai
he recently purchased lot of meal tha
was not tagged in accordance with law
through his own or the manufacturers
negligence, and he was somewhat in
convenienced thereby. 1t may be wise
to repeal all the laws Of South Carollns
passed for the protection of the farmers
of the State, where they conflict with
Colonel Aiken's interest, but must
be pardoned for saying that | do moi
think 80. The department of agrlcul'
ture is not only willing but anxious te
be investigated By the farmers OF the
State. 1t was created specially to adj
vance their interest and if it is not full.
filling It's purposes the farmers shoult
know it. AS it seems to be in order fol
everybody to make suggestions to the
convention which is 10 assemble in
Columbia on the 29th of April, will
exercise the same privilege that Others
are taking aud suggest 10 the farmers
that they should remember that oul
Congressman are not out Of reach o

farmers s'learn whether or not they are

they are not. make such alterations il
