EDITOR DEMOCRAT:-On my return
from Iowa l find an article in your paper in
which my name is used rather freely, and l feel
II my duty to make some reply. The article
while telling some truth tells much that is not
true, and will eonfne my remarks to the latter
part. The article states that my bill was sent in
at $1,000. All stuff charged to the city by me
was charged at $500, except 2x12 which was
charged at $1,000 and ! was informed by Mr..
White, a member of the council, that that would
be all right. At that time the difference be-
tween 2xl0 and 2xl2 was about sl.OO per thous-
and. The other dealers were furnishing but few
If any 2xi2; instead they were furnishing 2x8
and 2Kl0-as stated above, not worth so much by
Sl.O0 to $3.50 per thousand The article says they
went to the three yards and that White and
Martin offered stuff at 500, and that my figure
was $1,000 That is not the fact. The first order
left with me for stuff for the city, l asked the
street commissioner at what price the stuff was
to be charged. lie said at $3.50. In less than
five minutes / asked White, of the council, at
what price the stuff was TO be charged and he
said that they had not decided yet and that he
would see me In reference to it; which he did in
Il few days, and told me that it would be all right
to charge the stuff $500 for 2xl2 and $500 for
other stuff, including is #. stuff. did So and
sent in my bill in that way. This was in May.
and my bill was cut down to $500 per thousand
all round. In July ] asked the city to correct
the cut, and at the same time told them that
would sell them stuff at $3.50. The street com
missioner did call on me once and asked to see
some Of the stuff and at the same time told me
he did not want anything then At another
time | called him off of the street aud asked him
to look at plank which we had in stock. He said
they were good plank and that if the other yards
wonld not sell as cheap he would buy them of
me. As TO the lumber being there all summer
that, Mr.. Editor. is out of whole cloth and is far
fetched, and the gentleman in his article labors
hard to make a case and his article all through
is misleading and seeks 10 leave the impression
that was charging SO for the same kind of stuff
that they were charging $500 for; while in fact
l was charging the same price for the same class
of stuff and the price then and now is different.
Aud further, Mr.. Editor, the street commissioner
never called on me for a foot of stuff without he
was furnished, Since that price was made to
the city he has not asked for stuff. repeat the
inquiry, why does the city pay $500 when
they can buy it for $3.50 J. W. WILSON.

Friday, October rs, 1889.

Whatever differences of opinion exist
in regard to the causes of the present
low prices for nearly all kinds of ag-
ricultural products, there is one thing
certain, and that is, that farmers who
owe all or a part of the purchase money
for their farms are finding it very
close work to realize enough from
what they have to sell, to pay their
help, interest and taxes, to say moth
ing at all of paying off any part of
their Indebtedness. 1t seems strange
that in year of peace and plenty this
should be so; but that it is so is adj
mitted on all hands. Farmers are
complaining that they can get little or
nothing for what they raise, and that
nearly everything they buy must be
bought at high prices. They say truly
that while there has been a reduction
in the prices of many articles, that
the great bulk of the necessaries Of life
are sold at combination prices. While
cattle are selling at p cents pound,
hogs at 81 cents, corn at 30 cents a
bushel, oats at lG cents, and potatoes
ut from Is to 20 cents, there has
been no falling off in the price of
clothing, or wooden goods of any de
scription; and sugar and other articles
of daily consumption rise in price at
the pleasure of the combinations and
trusts by which they are controlled.
With large surplus Of agricultural
products seeking for market and
finding none, many are beginning to
believe that their pet theory of a home
market is, after all, delusiOn and
snare. If it is not a delusion and
snare why are the real producers of
wealth so poor in the midst of their
abundance? If it is not, why is it that
thrifty farmers whose lands have
yielded generously are so pushed for
money that they find it difficult to
supply their wants and meet their
obligations: 1t took the great famine
in Ireland and other like causes to
break down the protective system in
Great Britain, and well will it be for
the people of America if through the
abundance and not through the scarcity
of their haryests they are brought to
see the narrowness, the folly and the
wicl1edness of our commercial policy.

How to Cook Reefsfeak

Have clear, hot fire, set your clean
empty pan on spot, cover it up. then
pound your steak, and when your pan
is very hot lay in your steak and
cover quickly; turn again as at first,
and continue to do so every two min
utes until you have turned it about
six or eight times. Have a hot but
tered dish ready for it and lay it in;
add sprinkling of pepper, salt and
sugar, and cover tightly. Now, if
you wish gravy put bit of butter in
your pan. When hot, rub in a pinch
of flour, add teacup of boiling water,
let it boil a few minutes, then put in
a gravy boat instead of putting it over
your beef to draw out the juice

Nasal Catarrh.

Mr.. T. \. Williams, a leading dry
goods merchant of Spartanburg, 5. c.,
writes under date of November s,
1899: For years had severe case
Of nasal catarrh, with all the dis
agreeable effects which belong to that
disease, which make life painful and
almost uncomfortable. / used medicines
prescribed by leading physicians, and
suggested by numbers of friends, but
without getting any better. In the
fall of 1887, began to take Swift's
Specific g. ). s. 1t had the desired
effect, and cured me after taking few
bottles. In my opinion Swift'S Spe-
cifc Is. S. s. is the only medicine now
in use that will effect a permanent
cure of catarrh.

ing his absence one of his children
contracted severe cold, and his wife
bought a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy for it. They were SO
much pleased with the remedy they
afterwards used several bottles at va
rious times. He said, from his ex-
