To the Taxpayers of Pickens and
Wise Townships.

AS we have been asked 30 many
questions recently, and heard 80
many false rumors that have been
ingenerously circulated by certain
parties as to the litigation now
pending between the railroad bond
holders and your two townships.
we feel called upon to give a brief
resume of the present status.
The first suit filed was that of
National Bank of Augusta against
Plckens township for bonds issued
in aid of Augusta, Edgefeld and
Newberry Railroad, bogus con-
Germ existing on paper only. But
for the interest manifested by Mr..
A. E. Padgett and other promi-
nent citizens payment would have
been had by default. Under their
call mass meeting was held and
a determined fight inaugurated.
This firm WAS retained by the
commissioners elected, to repre-
sent the township. Since the
spring of 1898 we have been fight
ing with many handicaps as best
we could. We first had to ask the
Court to reopen the case, permit
US to put in new answer and take
testimony, this. was allowed by
Judge Brawley after atrong resist
ance on part of plaintiff. Testi-
mony was taken in Charleston,
Augusta and other places.
AS all inferior courts are bound
by decisions of superior courts we
know in advance that we would
lose the case in the lower court and
our hope was in appeal. Nothing
that we would be able to convince
to United States Supreme Court or
the United States circuit court of
appeals that they had applied law
in their leading decision in the
matter of railroad bonds to mis-
statement of facts and therefore
erred.
AS was expected Judge Brawley
did decide against US. We appeal,
ed, but under the Federal rules OF
court the appellant is required to
give an appeal bond amounting tc
$250.00 in this sort of case to be
signed by Board Of County Com:
missionsrs, but as they were to
sign in their official capacity, nc
individual liability would or coulc
have been incurred. However on'J

Spread Manure in Winters.

1t is the practice in this section
of OF N. J. to haul and spread the
mature in the fall. or any time
during the winter when conditions
are favorable for such work.
Experience has taught the farngef
that buckwheat straw or osher
coarse manure spread in the fall
will produce as good a crop8of
corn as the best manure We make,
spread in the spring. Some far
mers who lease their farms are 80

pelling tanants to haul aud spread

over the first offer of compromise
made by other parties as provided
for in a bill before the Legislature

Elmwood Farmers on the Move

The following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously
adopted at a mass meeting of the
citizens of Elm wood Township
held at Meeting Street on Monday,
Jan. %, 1900:
Whereas, A grave crisis con-
fronts the farmers of the Southern
States in the formation of gigan-
tic fertilizer trust, known aa the
Virginia-Carohna Fertilizer Com
pany, which has arbitrarily ad-
vanced the price of all grades of
fertilizers about 25 per cent; and
this we regard as foul conspiracy
and scheme 10 rob the producers
of cotton of their hard earned
means of making a decent living
by getting a fair price for the feecy
staple; and, whereas, the cotton
growers of the South several years
ago, through the agency of the Al
lance by unity of action, success
fully resisted and vanquished the
"Jute Bagging Trust" organized

fraud and victimize tho farmers.
