GARD FROM MR.. BEAL.
To the Voters of Abbeville County !:

To the Voters of Abbeville County:
1t having come to my knowledge
that report is being circulated to the
effect that I, together with two other
candidates for the Legislature, have
promised the voters living within the
limits of the proposed new county OF
Calhoun that if elected we will advo.
cate the formation of said County, and
in consideration of which promise we
are to receive the solid vote within said
territory. I take this method of stat
ing that, 80 far as I am concerned,
there is not a word of truth in said
rumor.
Not only have I not entered into any
such an agreement but instead of which
I have repeatedly stated on the stump
that if elected and the question Of the
formation of said county should come
up I would be obliged to vote against
it. 1t occurs to me, however, that this
is a matter which should not be made
an issue in this campaign for the rea-
son that the mode of forming a new
county is specifically provided for in
the Constitution, and if the require
ments as therein laid down are fully
met it is mandatory on the Legislature
to lay off the county.
I trust that this statement will be
sufficient to satisfy every one as to my
position touching this matter of the
proposed new county.
Respectfully,

. The Various Sprays.

Spraying is a part of every fruit-grow'
er's business. He should be so thor.
oughly acquainted with all orchard
and garden pests, both insects and
fungi, that he will recognize them at 8
glance. And also, he should be famil
lar enough with all the different spray
ing materials that he will at once know
Just what IS needed for the remedy
and be able to mix and apply correctly
without reference to books or spray
calendars, or borrowing his neighbor's
advice. Such methods never pay
But for the beginner in orchard work
such a thorough knowledge is hardly
expected, and indeed rare. 1t requires
years of experience and study to be-
come 80 familiar with the subject
Every one should learn the difference
between spraying for insects and spray
ing for fungus diseases. If the orchard
ist does not intend to keep posted on al
matters relative to his business, he haC
better not begin.
For those who do not know, we sug
gest the following plan of fquickly be

Also get a key to insects. Then q

mems of the different insects, and ge
acquainted with them as described II

The fungus diseases are not 80 diff

edy for all of them. 1t is we'll, and al.
most necessary, to become acquainted
with the different kinds of fungi anC

something like this: Bordeaux mix

Bordeaux, weak solution, is used or
the more tender trees, as for scab
brown rot and shothole fungus on tht
peach, leaf spot and brown rot on the
cherry, etc. Arsenites are used fol
biting insects, and are usually applied
in Bordeaux mixture. Kerosene, eth

"The tendency of all our lmmlgra-

keep out the kind Of immigrants that
our people seem to dread. In fact it Is
practically impossible for them to
come in under any circumstaces. The
object of these laws is TO provide for
the inspection of people who come
from other countries to America, and
if they are found to be unsound or un-
satisfactory in any way to keep them
from landing. Everybody admits that
we need the right kind of people, an d
as the laws prevent the wrong kind of
people from coming in any more there
is nothing for anybody to be so alarmed
over.

When you have succeeded in break

probably got your whole business
down upon plane where succeeding
strikes are likely to be more reason

ter to exhaust the resources of rea-
son and good will in trying to avoid
strikes or to settle them in a more
rational way?
There may also he some ideas here
abouts which reasonable unionists
should take time to consider. Does

they would not do well to guard their
membership against elements which
are sure to plunge them into turbu-

are to exist In this country, they
must stand for common sense and

level-headed leaders. Therefore they
must not permit the rank and file to

Just had this matter brought close
home to them. There was a strike in
the coal mines just north of the city,
and the men brought in to take the
places of the striking coal miners
were a terribly degraded lot; the
social conditions of that neighborhood
after their arrival were shocking. The
whole city has been scandalized by
this importation. Evidently if this
labor remains on the ground and is
gradually absorbed into the unions,
the leadership is likely to prove in
creasingly bad.
Such are some of the deep-lying
causes which underlie degenerate and
turbulent conditions in the industrial
world. OF these things the average

any note: he simply judges of things
