Ndphthd Soap.

The first thing you notice,
when you unwrap a cake Of
P. & @. Naphtha Soap IS the
color of it-white.
That shows there is no
rosin in it.
Most naphtha soaps are
yellow-they contain rosin.
There is a saying among
soap manufacturers to the
effect that s per cent. rosin in
soap IS all right; more than
s per cent. is all wrong.
Some naphtha soaps con-
tain as much as 2595 rosin.
Do you know why? Rosin
is cheap. That IS why.
And so we offer this advice:
Never buy any other than a
white naPhtha soap.

white-there is no rosin In it.

Proposition to Col. Watson.

Columbia, September 2S.-Capt. j.
W. Bunch, whose splendid success
through many years as head Of the
extensive farm Of the State Hospital
for the Insane easily places him in
the front rank Of practical farmers
who get results from thorough sclen-
tifie farming has written Commission
er Watson suggesting the organlza-
ton during the farm demonstration
meeting here Fair Week Of State
association Of "exchange idea clubs ="
or societies, such agricultural socie-
ties as those at Beach Island and
Pendleton, which have been accom-
plishing excellent results for half a
century. Capt. Bunch doesn't want
to see the Federal agricultural de-
partment do all the educational work
among the South Carolina farmers,
though Of course, he appreciates the
splendid work that has been accom-
plished along this line. Commission
er Watson heartily endorses Capt.
Bunch's suggestion and will at once
set to work to put the scheme into
working form.
The correspondence between Capt.
Rnnch and Commissioner Watson Will
be of interest to farmers throughout

express my appreciation of your ef-
forts in this direction.
It was my good fortune to inspect
the work being done by these agricul-
tural experts, in their special lines,
upon the Gonzales farm. I heartily
approve Of their advice in regard to
the substitution Of mule power for
man power through the employment
Of larger plouehS. more mules and

the right Of self-government by an
oligarchy which keeps alive the pre-
judice Of a past generation through

shall welcome the day when the edu-
cational propaganda, which can only
be spread by the use Of money,
whether it be Standard Oil money or

sponsible for the fact that in the

to abhor the trust and to pretend IN

Of wealth, but as in this country and

willing to be considered amongst
