LEGISLATURE NEWS.

Burning the past week the
Senate agreed to all the house
amendments to the dispensary bill
and it becomes law as soon as the
governor approves. No time has
been set for the election of the
board or the commissioner.
The Jim Crow car bill as a
mended by the senate was killed.
The house refused to agree and
when a committee of free con-
ference was appointed the senate
instructed its committee to recede
from the amendment, thus revers-
ing its former action. By 80 doing
the original Caughman bill be-
comes the law. SIt provides a 3
cent rate and one full coach for
each race.
In the house the appropriation
bill was adopted. All State col
leges received the full appropria.
tions as recommended by the COM
mittee and the section was adoped
without change. The South Caro-.
lima college gets $27,500;
Winthrop $33, 900 aad 900 ad Ii
tional; with $4,000, with $3.50
more for repai s and equipment ane
$6,25O for back debts; the colorec
college $4,000.
All during the debate the col
leges' friends were twitted with
doing nothing for the poor chill.
dren. Robinson, of Pickens, offer
ed an amendment appropriating
100000 to be distributed as the
three mill tax is now distributed
among the public schools. The
college support gave this hearty
encouragement and what was
thought to be a bluff was ad opted
by q heavy vote and the 100000
appropriation for free public
schools goes to the senate. If
adopted it is said this will in
crease the levy one and quarter
mills, which seems acceptable.
The majority of the senate and
house has not done unto Messrs.
Williams and Boykin as it would
like to have it done unto them.
The senate has adopted the
house bill appropriating $4,000
to erect monument to soldiers of
South Carolina on the battle field
of Chickamauga.

Where Shall We Spend our
Summer This Year.

We sometimes hear. those who
have means make use of this re-
mark, and when we look around
their homes, we are shocked to
see it destitute of everything that
would tend to make it attractive
and beautiful, the old homestead
presents an unsightly appearance,
buildings otpainted, yard fences
rotted down. No flower garden,
not even a rose to be seen.
Shade trees old and partly dead.
I say, that we are astonished that
they should neglect to improve
their homes and 20 to other places
and spend their meuey' If you
will improve your home, set out
new shade trees and flowers, paint
your buildings and fix up things
decently and tasteful, you will have
10 more desire to leave your own
place to spend your summer away
from home. Use the money on
painting your home, instead of
spending it for board at some
resort.
Send one half the money to the
Southern Paint Co., of Pinebluff,
N. c., it cost you to spend your
summer abroad, and they will fur
nlsh you good paint enough to
paint all your buildings and this
will make your home beautiful
and save YOU the trouble of pack
ing up and leaving home to look
for a better one.

of all we use. Nitrate of Soda:
We buy entirely from Sonth
America. Potash Stlts: We buy

America. Potash Stlts: We buy
entirely from Germany. So itcan
not be said that our company coz
trolls or is in any wise responsible
for the advance of these materials,
as we have no interest whatever
in any of these properties, either
directly or indirectly.
Take phosphate rock: We do
mine small proportion of our wants
of phosphate rock, but we mine
none for sale and we buy from 9TH
er mines more than two-thii Dis of
what we consume. So no one will
suppose that we were anxious to
put up the price of phosphate
rock
AS for cotton seed meal we have
no interest either directly or
indirectly in any cotton seed oil
mill, so we are not responsible for
the advance in this article. Blood
and tankage are made by the large
packers in the West and we have
no interest and no control over
these products in any way.
Why, then, should the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company be
blamed for the advance in the cost
of crude materials, and would it
be business-like for us to want an
advance in crude materials, of
which we have to buy almost en-
tirly all of our needs and of which
we produce absolutely nothing, ex-
cept small quantity of phosphate
rock?
It is our aim and purpose to
manufacture fertilizers as cheaply
as possible and to sell them at as
low price as we can afford, there
by stimulating q large consump-
ton of fertilizers and their general
use for all crops.
Let us see how the farmer is
situated: He is getting this year
from d to &c. a pound for his cot
ton more than last year, aud we
understand that for great deal of
the cotton seed the cotton seed oil
mills are now paying 25c. per
bushel. Are these advances wrong,
and are the manufacturers who are
having to use this product con-
demning the parties who produce
them, simply because the demand
is such that the price has increased
so enormously over last year? At
present prices the farmer can sell
the cotton seed from one acre of
land and buy as much fertilizers
as he usually puts over two to
three acres, even though there is a
small advance in the price of
fertilizers, caused by the manu-
factuiers having to pay high prices
for the materials entering into
them.
We pre- epose to be perfectly fair
and candid in our statements and
believe that when an unprejudiced
farmer looks into the situation be
will realize that he is not charged
as much for fertilizers as the cost
of materials under present con-
ditions warrants.
Yours very respectfully.

4 Method According to Nature

The experiments Of modern phy-
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many OF
the germs of disease enter the body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very small but their work If
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture Of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
their destruction. AS We can do
so little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course. to strengthen and revitalize
the system SO that it may repel
and resist their destructive in
huence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
inhalation of oxygen which is at
once revitalizer and germicide?
The experience of years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

PROMINENT SOCORRO OFFICIALS.
They We're in the Capital Today on Brief
Visit.

Hon. Abran Abeyta, the influential
collector and treasurer of Socorro coun-
ty, and Hon. Jose Torres, the efficient
probate judge of that county, and a
member of the bureau of immigration.
arrived in the capital this noon, called
upon Governor Otero, w. f. Martin and
at the New Mexican office, and left
again this afternoon for their southern
home. They are both stanch citizens of
Socorro and greatly interested in it's
welfare, as well as the progress of New
Mexico at large. Mr.. Abeyta attended
the Republican national delegation at
Philadelphia as a delegate, and the
description he gives of the enthu-
siasm and harmony that prevailed is
graphic. Many of the influential Re-
publican leaders pledged themselves for
statehood for New Mexico. At Wash
ington the delegates were kindly re-
ceived by President Mckinley, who in
quired about New Mexico and expressed
himself pleased to hear that his ap-
pontment of Governor Otero and Ct the
judges had given such eminent salts
faction.
Messrs. Abeyta and Torres said that
SocorrO county Is suffering greatly
from drouth. The wheat crop is good,
but the corn, bean and other crops will
be destroyed unless rain sets in. Cat
tlemen are losing heavily. But after
New Mexico is admitted to statehood"
Mr.. Abeyta said, measures will be ta-
ken to build storage reservoirs that will
prevent the periodical drouths that Wis
it the Rio Grande valley. With a repre-
sentative and two senators in congress
urging New Mexico's claims, congress
will be more disposed to consider the
arid land question Capital. too, will be
more likely to do its part in reclaiming
the fertile but dry sections"
Mr. Abeyta said that Socorro will give
rousing Republican majority this fall.
He also stated that taxes are coming in
well, and that the Duncan law was one
of the best pieces of legislation ever
passed by the Legislature
He agreed with Mr.. Torres that the
Black Range railroad will be built sure
ly after the election. Socorro is pros
