To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Allow me space to return my
heartfelt thanks to the good people
of Lexington county for the kind
and hospitable manner in which they
treated me during the recent cam
paign. Many pleasant night I
spent during my canvass With entire
strangers to me and I to them. l
can but say of them that I will al
ways hold in my breast warm spot
fer then. While the good people OF
the county saw fit to select another
than myself, I sha|l ever feel grateful
to them for the honors they have
conferred upon me heretofore, and
assure them that T still remain, after
defeat, as before, true and loyal
sou of old Lexington county, willing
and ready to do her bidding in all
that is honest and honorable.
Respectfully, Jas. B. Addy.

WILL, ~. ~
Dear Sir: Porterhouse. so much; neck
so much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe lead-and-
zinc is the porterhorse. Nobody wants
the neck; the between, some say, is good
enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead-and-oil is between; it is
the old fashion paint. But zinc has
come in. Zinc toughens white lead.
Devoe lead -and-zinc is the paint that
wears twice as long as lead-and-oil.
Mr.. John n. Deitel, Fair Haven, n.
Y, writes:
s'Mr. Charles Hollenback, of yhis
place, painted his house tire: years ago
with Devoe lead-and-zinc; his father
painted at the same time with lead-and-
oil. Today the sons house looks as
well as the day it was painted, while
the fathers house has all chalked off
and needs painting very badly. The
father says he will paint with Devoe
next time
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York.
P.S. The Kaufman Drug Co., sells
our paint.

In my last article I thought the
backbone of summer was broken, but
find it was only cracked, for the
summer days still love to linger long
in the lap of autumn.
Pretty we'll all the cotton is open
and the farmers are very busy
gathering and selling. They seem
to be Satisfied with the present
prices. I think they will realize
higher prices later if they would
hold it,
Dan Sully, the Cotton Kiug, is on
his footing again and says it will sell
for 13 cents per pound later.
The pea crop will not be as good
generally as last year. The continued
dry weather has retained their ma
turity as well as checked the growth
of sweet potatoes.

DEFEAT HOMESTEAD IDEA
The asnestesa Laws Not the RIsht Thsas fes
BslIdIae Up the Ceaatry.

For more than forty years the
phrase, Homestead Law" has
been pleasantly familiar to Amer
Iican ears. 1t opened way for
millions of people to get foot
hold upon the land. The idea
was that as long as there was any
portion of the public domain fit
for agriculture and not otherwise
appropriated any citizen or even
any alien who had declared his
intention to become a citizen,
might obtain 100 acres of it by
filing his claim. and paying certain
nominal fees and settling upon IT
to make his home in good faith.
1t was a beautiful act of pater-
nalism-Uncle Sam, the rich and
loving father, dividing his estate
among his children natural and
adopted. And the plan worked
as beautifully as it sounded SO
long as there were farms to be
had in that part of the public do
main, which receives a good nat
ural rainfall. Practically the last
of such land has now passed from
the government. There is vast
empire yet left, an empire in
which tens of millions will some
time dwell, but every acre of II
must be irrigated before it will be
fit for homes. When this is done,
one acre will be equal in produc-
tive capacity to four acres de-

RAhhS VA
The central thought in the
homestead law, as the name i'm
plies, is that family should settle
down to the enjoyment of an in
dependence from the permanent
tilling of the soil. When it is
used for any other purpose it be-
comes misnomer and disgrace.
The law sought to make sure of
the permanence of the settlers
home by providing that he should
live upon and cultivate his home
stead entry for FIVE years before
getting final title. If family
should remain that length of time
on a quarter section it would
certainly become established and
attached to the soil. In the view
of the lawmakers neither less nor
more could be asked as a demon
stration of goodfaith.
But the Communication clause
goes very far to nullify this wise
provision of the law in regard to
a FIVE years continuous residence
and cultivation. Under this
clause title may pass to the settler
at the end of fourteen months, on
payment of $I.25 per acre.
The Communication clause is en-
tirely unnecessary to the settler
who intends to comply in perfect
good faith with the letter and
spirit Of the homestead law.
While it would be going too far to
say that no one has ever availed
himself of this means of shorten
ing his residence upon the land
for worthy purpose, it is fact
that the method is chiefly useful
to those who wish to evade the
real intent of the law.
There is a great struggle for
valuable pasture land in the West.
The country continues to grow,
and with it the demand for beef
and mutton. The public pasture
available for livestock does not
grow, but becomes considerably
less. Stockmen see the shadow of
the coming changes in land laws
when they will no longer be able
to use the range without restrict
ion or without price. Naturally
enough they desire to make them
selves secure in the possession of
as much good grazing land as pos
sible. There is way in which
this may be done and this is by
means of the homestead law and
convenient dummies" to make
entries under it.
AS the law requires actual resi-
dence it is desirable to have the
required period as brief as posi-
BILE. Residence upon it usually is
nothing more than bluff. A
claim shanty is erected and the
owner does we'll if he sleeps there

title for a nominal price but the
claimant would rather commute
after fourteen months and pay
$I.25 per acre. Having obtained
title the entryman can immediate
ly sell his land to any one he may
choose, which is frequently the
individual or corporation for whose
benefit his fling was really made.
In such cases the money has been
advanced by the interested parties
while the man who has loaned his
right of citizenship receives a
modest stipend for the accommo-
dation. Considered as a home
making proposition the whole pro-
ceeding is farce.
The homestead law is all right
but the communication clause is all
wrong. The honest settler does
not need it, and the country does
not need the other kind of settlers.
The President has urgently de-
manded the repeal of this feature
of the law, and backed by an en-
lightened and insistent public
opinion his advice ought to carry
with Congress next session.
