Farmers Buy Much Fertilizer.

While the farmers in some sections
of the State may have been hard
hit by the autumn storms, the figures
in the State Treasurer's office on the
privilege or fertilizer tax show that
more fertilizer material was used
this year on the farms than in any
other year since the establishment of
the tax. The total received 30 far
is $161,73S.41 against S127, ,2S2.7S
for the same period last year. The
tax is 25 cents per ton and the entire
amount goes to Clemson College,

inheritance Tax Yields sic, 600, 900.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Investiga-
,tion by the bureau of the census
shows that in 1902 about one-half of
the States of the Union had inheri-
tance tax laws, which yielded to them
an aggregate of little more than
S7,O00,O00. This amount is believed
by the census officials to have in.
creased in the present year to fully
$1O,OO0,0OO or sl2,OOO,OOO. In re-
port based on the forthcoming report
on "wealth, debt and taxation," the
census officials cay that cat least a
dozen States are materially assisting
in the support of the State govern
ments from this source of revenue.

Talk About Capital.

ie'N Hpuut OdpitdIs
What is the capital behind all our
industries? What sort of collateral
do they put up that is different or
safer basis for currency than the
farmer can offer? What products
of all the combined industries of the
whole Southern States that can be-
gin to compare with the annual ave-
rage sales of the farmers cotton,
which goes beyond five hundred
million dollars every year, to say
nothing about his other crops?
Go to the government census re.
ports and you will see that the ag.
gregated capital and wealth of all
our manufacturing industries of the
South does not amount to one.fifth
that invested in farm lands and farm
equipments.
Is it not gall, tnen, in any man to
say that the Farmers Cotton Union
possibilities, which has behind it all
OF this vast array of business men
and capital, cannot succeedP
Cotton.growers, you have created
the wealth-produoing staple that has
made vast fortunes for others; now
will you come forward and claim
your share of the profitsp There is
but one way to do it--organize, or
ganize and then help yourselves.

4 TRIP TO EUROPE LETTER NO. &.

Marienbad, July 27.-Yours to
Lucerne received yesterday, and sup
pose, that when you wrote it you had
not received mine from Stockholm.
This mail business is all luck. It
depends on what steamer it comes
across on. We have been spending
the past few days at this place,
which is up in the mountains and
delightfully."- cool. / got up at $50
the other morning and went for a
horseback ride. don't think ever
enjoyed anything 80 much in my
life. rode away up in the hills and
for two whole hours forgot all about
everything else. 1t certainly did ne
a world of good. There are num-
bers of the prettiest little mountain
paths here you ever saw, and each
one ends up in fine little restaur-
ant, where you can get lunch or
anything you want. One of them is
especially fine. The path winds
round and round the highest peak
here. Right on the top is beaati-
full little summer garden, with very
nice orchestra to furnish music. The
mattresses are all very prettily Co.'S
tuned, and this, coupled with the
fine view you have from all sides,
makes it most attractive.
One of the many good things the
water does is, it makes fat people
thinner. l never saw 80 many fat
people before in my life. When
you get up to the springs you can
sit and hear them coming, painting
and wheeling like the exhaust valve
of stationary engine. If we we're
going to be here long enough l
would try to get the average weight
of all the people in Marienbad, and
Pm sure I'd surprise the world.
From here guess we will go to
Munich ard then on to Lucerne.

Munich, July 81, 19O6.-We ar
rived here about three or four hours
ago, after very hot and dusty six
hours trip. From what / can see,
Munich seems to be just the same as
the other German towns we have
visited, and / doubt if we stay here
more than couple of days, when
we will move on to Switzerland.
enjoyed my stay in Marienbad
very much and was sorry to leave,
as the atmosphere was 80 cool and
agreeable there all the time. went
to a big ball while / was there and,
much to my surprise, had very nice
time. l went not knowing a soul,
but used my nerve and introduced
myself to some American men, and
finally met some very nice girls.
You know old South Carolina has
quite reputation everywhere you
go and as soon as people find out
you are a South Carolinian they are
always nice to you.
Did you ever get my letters from
Stockholm? wrote about six from
there, but have received answers to
none and am beginning to think they
must have been lost.
Well, for the last couple of weeks
we've seen nothing new, 80 there's
really nothing new to write about,
but l guess when we get over into
Switzerland there will be.

What About the "Farmors' Cotton Union"
If you do not "belong to Gideon's
Band" and wish to know all about
the "Farmers' Cotton Union" lust
slip your dollar in the slot at the
Farmers Union door and walk right
in among your best neighbors where
you can swatch the cat jump" and
if he don't jump to suit you, you can
have a chance at making things move
to suit.
Between the prices of 8 cents and
IL cents for cotton there is a good
suit of clothes for the boy or COM
plete rigging for a girl, or cooking
stove for the wife, or suit of bed
room furniture for one room on each
bale of cotton. Who has done most
to save this profit for the faithful if
it was not done by the Farmers
Union?
The Anderson Daily Mail sizes
the thing up so: "The English spin
ners are coming over here to show
the English spinners how to price
it." That is bright spark from a
live wire.

Washington.-The agricultural ap-

Wednesday carries several items of di-
rect benefit to Colorado, all of which
were inserted in the bill at the request
of Representative Brooks. The most
important item is an appropriation of
$4,000 for experiments in dry farm
ing. This item was not stricken out
of the bill yesterday, though the House
did vote down an amendment proposed
by Mr.. Martin to increase the appro-
priation to S50,000 The bill also ap-
propriates $4,000 to continue the inves-
tigation of poisonous plants, particu-
larly the loco weed; $4,000 for horse
breeding and $4,000 for sugar beet seed
investigations and experiments.
