CONGRATULATIONS.

Mr.. John HI. Cullom, editor OF
the Garland, Texas, News, has
written a letter of congratula-
tons to the manufacturers of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
"a follows: "Sixteen years ago,
when our first child was a baby,
he was subject to croupy spells
and we would be very uneasy
about him.. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in 1887, aud finding it such a re-
liable remedy for colds and Group
we have never been without it in
the house since that time. We
have five children, and have CIV
en- it to all of them with good re-
suits. One good feature of this
remedy is that it is not disagree
able to take and our babies really
like it. Another is that it is not
dangerous, and there is no risk
from giving an overdose. I con.
graduate you upon the success
of your remedy" For sale by
M. E. Ward, druggist.

From Hon. A. L. Grantham.

JACKSON. MISS, Jan. gard.
Editor KEMPER HERALD:
There has been no legislation
of a general nature this week
nothing that materially affects
Kemper County. Mr.. Ethridge
and myself, being new members,
have to go a little slow; but we
let them know once in awhile
that we are here.
Think to take the Legislature
altogether, it is a pretty good
body of men, and I think they
will deal with the great ques-
tons that are to come before
them with fairness and Justice
and 1 think they will keep in
lines of economy.
1t is true that the appropria-
tons made to the comm O n
schools of the State and the old
Confederate veterans may seem
a little extravagant, bnt no man
could claim to be true to his
State and country and oppose a
liberal appropriation to either.
There is no doubt but that
there will be some change in
laws in reference to Intoxicating
LIQUORS in this State. The mem
bers are undecided as to the best
course to pursue, but they are
pretty generally agreed that
there is some legislation needed,
and l think before we adjourn
something will be ydone. Some
favor the nsary system,
some one thing and some an
other. r. end :,
l notice in looking over the
HERALD that you say I am on
committees on Agriculture, Pub
lie Lands and Contingent Ex-
penses, which is true; and I am
also on the Committee on Coun-
ty Affairs, which is a very i'm
portant committee for me to be
on. My experience on the Board
of Supervisors for six years in
my county equips me we'll for
the work of that committee.
I scrubbed this off ~hurriedly,
and you will have to excuse any
errors. If desired, / will write
again. Respectfully, etc.,
A. E. GRANTHAM.

RACE TRACK ADDITION,
This tract lies just one mile from the Town. intend to
run a Street Railroad to the Race Track, which will
make lots near by treble in value within two years. I
give a written guarantee with every lot sold that this
railroad will be in operation within two years from date.
Backed by a general bond sufficient to build and equip
the same intend placing the first 100 lots on the mar
ket at $1,000 and increase $500 per lot every 100 lots
sold thereafter. There are about 2,400 lots in Race
Track Addition. An increase of $500 per lot on every
100 lots sold, the last 100 lots must bring $1,000 each.
The payments can be as follows: $500 cash down and
$500 per month on each lot, with no interest on deferred
: payments. Those that get in on the first installments
will beyond a doubt make good investments. Two
years ago l started. Standard Land Company Addition
to Gultport at $4,000 per lot, many Of which cannot be
bought today for $4,000 per lot. These lots are further
out, but believe | can make equally as valuablesby Street

The State Fair as an Educator


cattle in the northwest, which will be
a revelation to people from parts of
the state where the dairying industry
is new or unknown; handsome
draught and driving horses; droves of
sheep and goats, fancy poultry and
pigeons, and every one a prize winner
in it's class. Add to this, generous
displays of fruits, vegetables and
manufactures, and you get within the
compass of a few acres an excellent
representation of the entire resources
of the state. The advantage of thus
bringing together the products of the
industry and of the soil of widely
separated sections of country can be
appreciated at once. No better oppor-
tunity could be had for comparison
and study.
Of course if one expects to accom-
plish the object of visiting the fair
in spending half a day in the great
pavilion watching the races, or in
giving few hours to a perfunctory
examination of exhibits, and is salts
fed with so doing, that is all right
but the writer is of the opinion that
greater things are in store for the
progressive, wide-awake visitor A few
hours of each day of the fair spent
in the different departments studying
unfamiliar varieties of fruits, grasses
or grain; investigating the claims of
a particular breed of cattle, sheep or
horses, and comparing their merits
with those with which the visitors
farm is now stocked, cannot fail to
excite interest and create an inspira-
ton that will make for better farms,
better stock, better fruits and better

is lust what they need so tickets are
bought or wagons are Outfltted, and
the trip is begun. At the grounds the
farmer mixes with his brethren from
the city and the same common pur-
nose seems to have brought them there

the best advantage the five or six
davs of the fair is now the problem,

Commission House and the Rancher


Which of the two classes of firms do
you think a fruit grower prefers to
deal with? Of course, few are care
less. and not business men, and willing
to take whatever they can get, and
blame the political party in power for
it, and hope for better times after
election, but these men, as rule, are
also careless about their packing, and
the poor goods gradually go to the
commission man who hasn't time or
doesn't care to return itemized bills
while the one who takes time to treat
the shipper fairly, receives the best
there is in the world.
We realize that the commission man
has no easy task to dispose of all hoods
advantageously, and that when too
much of any one product is shipped
the ranchers are likely to be the los
ers sometimes, through no fault of his.
Occasionally, as happened last week,
car of fruit is sidetracked, through
lack of railway facilities in Seattle,
and reaches the wholesale house
day later than it should, but for that
reason and, of course, over riDe and
hard to handle at any price. But the
rancher likes a letter explaining the
reason, instead of a line sayinng
"over-ripe" or event to the dump"
Horticultural societies are now
formed in every fruit raising COM
munity, and do much to get good pack
ing and better rates on transportation
as they can ship in car lots, where
individuals cannot; but they can do
little to bring about better under
standing between the grower and
wholesaler This can only be accom-
plished by each fruit grower reuuir-
ing prompt and itemized returns from
consignee, and refusing to make fur
Their shipments unless he receives
them. 1t is also the duty of everv
rancher. when he suffers, either from
the carelessness or dishonesty of any
commission house, to make the fact
known AS widely as possible, by means
of his local paper and report to the
horticultural societies.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-09-15

The business relations of these two
important branches of the commerce
of our state are not appreciated by
a great many of the parties most di-
rectly interested. Quite a percentage
of the commission men evidently think
of the rancher as the traditional farm
err and do not realize that to be a
successful rancher requires not only
brains but education; and that, es-
pecially in this state, the rancher
reads the daily papers, keeps a set of
books, and in fact, attends to the bust
ness part as carefully as to the rails
ing of produce
Naturally anything except business
treatment from other parties is dis
tasteful to him, and when he receives
a letter from the commission man,
several weeks after he has shipped
him a consignment, saying the lot SOLD
for so much, part went to the dump,
commission and express so much, bal
ance check enclosed, he considers that
he has not received fair treatment. Or,
as in case which recently occurred
a Seattle house quotes him IN cents
per pound for potatoes, and he ships
half a carload, has to write three times
before even receiving acknowledgment
weeks have elapsed, receives a check
for $1,000 twelve dollars) and letter
saying: "Your tomatoes were so green
that we have been delayed until now
in making you returns, most of them
went to the dump; IS sacks potatoes
sold for $500; 20 boxes tomatoes,
$500; expenses, $1,000, check $1,000 to
balance, enclosed" This when he
did not send even one box of tomatoes,
but did send over a hundred sacks
of potatoes.
On the other hand several commits
sion houses answer Immediately upon
receipt of goods, giving even the hour
at which they arrived, condition, and
prospective price at which they will
sell. and within a week remit pro-
ceeds. with detailed statement, show
ing disposal of each lot or parcel.

The fourth annual fair and industrial
exposition, to be held at Bellingham
October II to Is, from present indica-
tons promises to be the best ever held
in the northwest. In connection with
the fair prominent speakers will be
engaged to talk on horticultural and
agricultural subjects, making of the
event a combined fair and farmers
institute. Coming as it does after the
:rOps are all harvested and housed
for the winter, it affords the farmers
an opportunity to take a week of
recreation. Almost every farmer in
Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan cOun'
ties has expressed his intention of
bringing an exhibit to the fair, and the
secretary is now being flooded with
entries and applications for space. The
management predict that there will be
a daily attendance of from five to ten
thousand people. A clean line of sports
are being arranged for and nothing will
be left undone to make the event in
teresting, amusing and instructive.

prices when these commodities go into
the market, and better satisfied farm
erS.
In conclusion l would say, if you in
tend visiting the fair, don't be selfish.
Take your boys and girls with you;
let them see the products Of the farm
at their best; let them see what in
telligence and training can do, and
the conviction will not be long in
reaching them that city life is base
and sordid, and it's opportunities mean
and meager, compared with the posi-
bilities of the farm and it's products.
