Answer by editor: Swee. po.
tatoes require summer tempcra.
ture for four or five months.
Considering this fact and the
time the Irish potatoes were
dug, together with the end OF
summer temperature that should
be expected, each can determine
for himself whether sweet po-
tatoes will make after Irish po-
tatoes arc dug. Different yari-
cites Of sweet potatoes vary in
the time required TO make Il
growth. Extra early Caroline
is an early productive variety.
As Scranton is in one Of the Mis-
sissippi Gulf Coast counties, the
chances Of making Il crop OF
sweet potatoes after crop OF
Irish potatoes is more favorable
than>farther inland.
Everything considered, it is
doubtful that il would pay as

Sitting the cartilage has the
disadvantage that they never

pork is monty made if hogs
have some crop like peanuts,
chufas, artchokes, or potatoes
to root out some time during the
year; and if they have rings ia
their noses, the rings can be re.
moved and the nose will be in
condition for work.
Most rings now sold can be
cut out Of the nose by wire
cutter, and the cutting can be
more easily done it the rings do
not fit down so close to the nose
that the wire cutter cannot get
a good hold on the ring. II hogs
are able to root, they clean up
fields better; but usually can
root enough to clean up fields
even with rings in their noses.

Do not be deceived by any specious
promises or inducements made you by
the drug stores controlled by the drug
trust here in Richmond, as they are
not substantial and serious in what
they are saying, but are aiming a blow
at the Afford Drug Store for the pur-
pose of forcing them out of business.
by such methods that no other concern
would use but that trust, which is de-
cidedly un-American and unworthy of
the public patronage. If they would
be successful, it would be the same old
story of the spider and the fiy-or the
fox that invited the goose to dinner.
But in view of the whole fact as laid
bare by US, we feel that the good peo-
pie of Richmond and vicinity will
stand by us, and we fully believe that
the public fully appreciates our
efforts in giving them the lowest pos
sible prices that can be secured, but
unless we are given your patronage
the drug trust will finally win out and
you will have to pay the trust price"
for all the drugs that you buy.
Stand by US and We will stand by
you. Help US by giving US your pat
ronage. We appeal TO you as a COM
mon brother, TO help US win this great
fight
Remember our prices will always re-
main the same despite all the above
facts that we have just stated to you.
All we need Is your help-which will
keep the low prices on all drugs
which is only fair and just to the con-
sumner.
And in the words of the early chris
tians, which they addressed to that
celebrated character. Paul-~Come

say come to the corner Of Ninth and

it is done by them every day, and as

as well. Below we give few illus
trations to prove the above facts.
The man who builds a house and
pays the advance price of lumber to
the lumber trust, has only to raise
the price of rent in order to get his
required interest. The merchant pay
ing the increased wholesale price
has only to raise the price of his
goods, so that his profit will not be
impaired. The manufacturer who pays
the trust prices for raw material, will
like wise treat the subject the same
way and his profits are not in the
least impaired.
The price of living according to the
Government statistics which cannot
be disputed has advanced 81 per cent
and the laboring man pays the largest
per cent of the bill and it is plain to
see that he has no way in which to
remunerate himself with the above
system of doing business preying up
on his poorly paid wages.
The Drug Trust now demands that
the Afford Drug Co., advance the price
of all drugs 100 per cent or they will
force them out of business as the
copies of the letters below will show.
They intend to do this by shutting us
out of the market.

Four senators who voted no said
they were under orders to do SO from

the measure. it would have passed.
Therefore, it would appear, that the
four women who are the wives of these
four senators who got orders were
really responsible for the defeat of the
bill.
There is suspicion fast growing in
the minds of those who have been
watching affairs in the general as
sembIy that there is a disposition to
sidetrack some of the more import
ant measures while those which are
not for public good are sticking forth
prominently. There is more agita-
ton over the proposed repeal of the
cities and towns law for which there
is no public clamor, in fact no real
need, than for the enactment of a rig
id insurance law, the enactment of a
good primary law, or the passage of a

The house this morning passed the |
Downey State Board of Health pure |
food bill without a dissenting vote, 81 !
votes being registered for it. No OBJ |
iections were made and the authors |
speech in behalf of it was brief. This |
bill merely requires that things shall |
be what they say they are he said. |
The Downey bill was seriously crippl
ed by an amendment adopted on Sec
ond reading, without protest from the
author to reduce the appropriation
from $4,000 to $4,000. This educ
ton and a change from $4,000 to 81,
900 as the salary of the chemist will
come so near making the law ineffec-
tive, it is believed. that opposition
will appear in the senate to it's pass
age. The bill is modelled after the
federal pure food law.
