To the Editor of The Ranger
By recent copies of The Ranger
l see that you are fighting, or OPP
posing Congressman s. NJ. Robert
son. The stand that you have
taken is a good one Mr.. Robert
son must take back seat. He
has voted in a strange wsy on many
leading issues, and by SO doing,
has proved himself not q fit repre-
sentative of the people in the Com
gress of the United States. For in
stance, he voted against the passage
of the Wilson bill. A northern pa
per classes him among the Demo-
cratic hlack-sheep, and in my opin-
ion, he deserved 10 be thus CLASH
fed. The Wilson bill is . Demo-
cratic measure, and should have
received, in the lower House,
unanimous Democratic vote. II he
voted for the passage OF the Bland
seigniorage bill. (another Democratic
measure, } l failed to see his name
down in the list ''fOr" and
ssagainst." When, however, that
bill passed both Houses, and was
returned to the lower House with.
out the Presidents approval. Mr..
Robertson was not either present.
or failed to vote on the motion to
pass the bill over the Presidents
veto. Mr.. Robertson has done
sufficient to justify the people in
RELOCATING him to the rear. placing
him among the list of ex-Congress'
men, where he rlghtfully belongs.

To PROTECT STOcK FROM FLIES.
In the line with the work of the
S. p. C. A., Is the following piece
Of advice by Mr.. C. A. Bacon in
the Ormond Gazette:
Have mercy on your horses and
cattle by making the following
simple ointment and applying to
your stock during the "ay time.
Take an old can, or better, a three
pint pail and fill two thirds full of
half and half tallow and lard; melt
it, ard when nearly cool add two
tablespoonsful of crude carbclic
acid and about the same of Scro-
sene oil. When cool apply to
horses or cattle with a swab in
spots over the body. On stock
about every other day will do; on
the horse when ever you drive.
This will not keep all Of the flies
away but nearly all, and will make
your dumb animal smile.

through one Of their bills in the
Senate, while the Senate refused, in
spite of earnest urging from sheriffs
all over the State, to pass an act
fixing the fees of sheriffs 50 as to
prevent police juries from putting
the screws on sheriffs, and another
which guaranteed a reward Of 500

its head to swap around on Senate

Alton is 81 miles from New Or

Co. and has about 100 inhabitants.
It looks like the Alton Lumber Go.
have come to stay with US. Mr..
Wiltz Varnado as President and
General Manager, and. Mr.. Chas.
Mitchell az Treasurer and Secretary.
The Company came here about
three years ago, and started in the
lumber business with small capital,
but have been increasing the busi=
ness yearly till now they have y or
Is houses in Alton and have bought
up large tracts Of long leaf yellow
pine land near their mills, and have
added . planning mill to their plant,
aud shortly will putin a single mill
and lath machine.
The money famine or hard times
has not huEt the company. They
have'all the orders they can take
care Of aud collections have, been
favorable. They have put in . new
engine with . capacity Of "a, 900
feet per day, and they have never
cut wages or stopped their mills
only for putting in new machinery.
The company only employs white
labos, which is far superior to me-
groes and more profitable to the
company. Therefore they have
not been forced to cut wages or
shut down like the saw mills Gear
here who employ mostly negro
labor. Another thing noticeable in
the surrounding country is the
disappearance Of the old log cabins
and the old fashioned rail fence { or
worm fence.) Most every one is
putting up lumhor houses, wire or
plank fences, and the old settlers
are beginning to quit the timber bust
ness and starting in to farming and
raising stock
Contractors COller and Penton
are building new store and Office
for the Alton Lumoer Company,
which will help the looks of our
little town.
