1 am sending you number of packages

have you distribute as equally as you can

that the seed will reach the largest num-

If any one who not received seed will
write to me l will try to supply them.
With best wishes, yours very truly,

Congratulations.

Mr.. John FL. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written q
letter of congratulations to the manufac-
turers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as follows: "Sixteen' years ago when
our first child was baby he was subject
to croupy spells and we would be very
uneasy about him. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887,
and finding it such reliable remedy
for colds and Group, we have never been
without 1T in the house since that time.
We have five children and have given it
to all of them with good results. One
good feature of this rem edy is that il is
not disagreeable to take and our babies
really like it. Another is that it is not
dangerous, and there is no risk from
giving an overdose. / congratulate you
upon the success of your remedy" For

Letter from Representative Brown.

Columbia, S. c., January 10, 19W.-
The introduction of bills is so far great
many more than is necessary and many
of them Of little or no concern to the
people.
A number of bills have been withdrawn
from the files of the House, while others
have been killed.outright.
The following third reading bills
passed 'and were ordered sent to the
Senate:
4 bill to prevent delays in the trans
portaton of freight by railroad COM
panies in this State.
A bill making it unlawful to operate
any slot machine in this State and to
provide penalty.
A bill to regulate the size of cars, COM
monty called cabs, used by railroads in
this State.
DR. Doyle's bill, to prevent treating on
election days, over which we had lively
fight of about ono hour in the House,
was ordered to third reading, by the
following vote Yeas, 81; nays, 3S.
Brown and Doyle voted for the bill.
Senator Herndon's bill, which passed
the Senate last winter, looking to the
working and maintaining of highways,
was indefinitely postponed by the House
yesterday. The boys failed to put on
the clincber and made motion, this
morning to reconsider the vote whereby
the bill was postponed, and the House
stood by me, and the bill was restored to
,t, NJ No
vides that the number of days shall not
be less than four nor more than eight,
the Communication tax not to be less than
one dollar nor more than three dollars,
the amount to be fixed by the Board of
County Commissioners in each county.
This bill is not just what we want, but
it is the best we can get at present. /
tn ink that the concurrent resolution now
on the calendar will go through. If so,
then we can get what will suit our
county better.
There has been numbers of bills acted
on in one way or another that have not
mentioned that would not be of any in
terest to our people.
The time fixed for the elections is
Thursday OF next week. we will not do
much work until we get through with
them.
The House adjourned to-day at II
O'Clock a. m. until Wednesday next at
II m. Tuesday being holiday the
mem bers wanted to go home to-day and
stay until that time at the expense of the
State, which is, in my Judgment, wrong
and should.not be allowed but such is
legislation, no matter what it costs.
The weather has been clear and cold
since we have been here.
The delegation from Oconee are all
we'll and at their post of duty.
Hoping all my people in Oconee are
we'll and may have a prosperous year,
1 am very truly, w. Nj. Brown.

There was an unusual sight in Madi-
son last week. The Southern yestibule
was stranded in our town, owing to q
slight breakdown or wreck near Folsom,
Ga. The vestibule was soon followed by
No. SO, the local passenger. Quite an
army of "nabobs," "fantons," aud stop
of-the-pots" got out of the vestibule and
enjoyed perambulating some of our
principal promenades during the few
hours spent in our midst. You should
have seeu pinders disappear before those
hungry vestibulers.
We young people enjoyed the most
magnificent social event of the season in
dance given by Mr.. and Mrs. j. d.
Jones to large number of their beauti-
full and distinguished young lady friends
