Invitation to Columbia.

The following statement has been is
sued by State Commissioners of Agri-
culture e. j. Watson:
To the Farmers of South Carolina:
On behalf of the office of farm man
agement, bureau of plant industry, u.
S. department of agriculture, the state
department of agriculture and a COM
mittee on agriculture of the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce, | wish to ex-
tend to you a cordial invitation to at
tend the meeting and demonstration
work to be held near Columbia on Au-
gust 18th incident to the inauguration
OF the new system of farm demonstra-
ton work, which the u. S. department
Is undertaking to establish in the differ
ent States of the Union, South Caro-
lima being selected as the State in which
the first efforts are to be made.
The Farmers Union Sun, Columbia, S. T..
Is a weekly newspaper published in
the interest of the Farmers Union in
South Carolina. The Executive Com
mittee the early part of the year saw
that the Union, in order to do efficient
and lasting work, must have a paper.
There must be a means of regular and
cheap communication, and the paper is
the best medium for that. Looking at
it in that way, the Executive Commit
tee and the President and Secretary
Treasurer authorized Brother S. Frank
Parrott, of Gaffney, an experienced
newspaper man, to organize a company
for publishing a weekly paper. Before
the company was organized, however,
the Farmers Cotton Union News, pub
lshed at Greenville, S. c., came into
the possession of the Union and Brother
Parrott was appointed editor and au-
thorized to take the paper to its present
headquarters and change it's name 10
that of the Farmers Union Sun. The
price of the paper is only $1.OO a year,
easily within the reach of all. Every
member is urged to subscribe to it and
keep up with the Union happenings.

CalOmeI For Pear Blight.

CalOmeI For Pear Blight.
DIR. w. H. Dial, of this city, made
an experiment about ten years ago that
is worthy of notice by fruit growers.
The matter was brought to mind last
Wednesday by the discussion at the
Farmers Institute of blight on pear
and apple trees. DR.. Dial had in his
yard a fine Leconte pear tree affected
seriously with blight which he had al
most given up as lost. However, he
tried this method of destroying the
blight: About a foot from the ground
was cut a cross slit in the bark, which
was folded back, about 20 grains of
calomel put in the cut and the bark re-
placed. Today the pear tree is one of
the finest and most prolific to be found
anywhere. DR.. Dial had three of the
pears from this tree on exhibition at
the Peoples Loan and Exchange Bank
Thursday.
Every farmer in Laurens county
should have heard the speakers at the
Institute Wednesday. The lectures
were instructive.
When another man knows something
we do not knowit behooves us to hear
it and take account thereof.
Why Is it that the average earning
capacity of the South Carolina farmer
is so small compared to the Iowa farm
err? One is a scientific worker; the
other is not.
Pea crops are among the greatest of
wealth producers, whether cut and fed
to stock or plowed under.
The superiority Of humus over com
mercial fertilizer for increasing the
yield of crop is unquestionable.
Some Fine MiIlet.
Mr.. Fl. l.. Sem, a young farmer of
Laurens vicinity, brought to The Ad-
yertiser Office last week a bundle of the
finest German millet we have eve seen.
1t had grown to a height Of 8 feet 10
inches. The field had been sown broad
cast. The crop was raised after a crop
of crimson clover the same season.
Treatment for Glover on WORKOUT Land.
When, as you say, the soil has become
only the dead skeleton Of sand and clay
and the humus has been burnt out, no
narrowing will do good, but rather
harm. But if you gets stand of cloyer
op such soil 90 over with the mower as
soon as the rag weeds show above the
clover and nov them off, for they are
Fobbing the clover Of moisture, But
on such q soil you will not get perfect
success With clover until, by a proper
rotation, you have brought back to it
the wasted bumus and restored the con-
ditions in which clover thrive before the
soil had Been run down to the bare
skeleton Of q soil; for it is then liter
ally q dead soil, since humus is its life,
the home of the living organisms that
work for the farmer, and until we get
back towards the new md conditions
we cannot hope for UNI. } success. =

THE PROHIBITION
LAW is EFFECTIVE.
Letters From City and County Officials
Showing the Good Effects In
Different Counties,

There seems to be no question as to
the good effects of prohibition laws.
Judging from the letters below from
the clerks of court of the various coun-
ties named. These inquiries were sent
out by those in charge of the State
prohibition movement and the answers
received are as follows:
STATEMENT RoM EDGEFIELD CouNrY
l. How long has your county been
dry? Ans. About "a years.
2. What effect has it had on business?
Ans. 1 think the general impression is
that business is more satisfactory.
3. Have you been able to enforce the
law? Ans. think the law is pretty
well enforced; as much so as was ex-
pected. Of course there is occasionally
some whiskey sold here and in the
county, but think the sale of it in the
town and comfy is on the decrease.
a. What erect has it had with refer
ence to sobriety and good order? Ans.
1t has had wonderful effect in improv-
ing good order and decreasing drunken
ness.
5. To what extent has the sale of IL
quor and drinking been reduced. Ans.
l do not think there is more than 10 per
cent. of drinking and drunkenness now
;as when whiskey was sold in town of
Edgefield.
(Signed) w. b. COGBURN,
c. c. p. of Edgefield County.
STATEMENT FRoM CLERK OF CHEROKEE
COUNTY.
l.. How long has your county been
dry? Ans. Since Dec. LIST, 1904.
2. What effect has it had on business?
Ans. 4 think business has increased rs
to 33s pei cent.
3. Have you been able to enforce the
law? Ans. Yes. Occasionally we have
a few cases in the courts for violation
of the law, but no more than formerly.
A. What effect has it had with refer
'ence to sobriety and good order? Ans.
A most wonderful effect. think
drunkenness has decreased so to rs
per cent.
s. To what extent has the sale of Ii
quor and drinking been reduced? Ans.
No liquor is sold in the county except
occasionally by parties who open up
blind tigers and they are soon caught
and dealt with. A considerable amount
of liquor is shipped in during the fall
and winter months. My opinion is that
the entire sale from all sources has de-
creased GO to rs per cent. and possibly
more and the drinking reduced in the
same proportion.

The Country Banker.

The banker of the country
town is something of walking
encyclopedia of business. The
Atlantic Monthly descfibes the
functions of one of this type as
pictured. by q, contributor living
in central Kansas. Kansas is
state of towns and villages. The
civilization of the Central West
beyond the Mississippi has long
been characterized by this fea-
ture. But the bank is of later
development. 1t is child of pros
perity that has come to stay.
Gradually it is becoming the one
institution of the town in which
the business life of these rural
commemorative finds its center
The country banker is the Clear
ing House for investment infor-
nation.
Fortunate, indeed, were it if
more of the people who have
money to invest were to counsel
freely with the country and town
banker, in Kansas, and elsewhere.
Though his horizon of financial
vision may not be wide, his wis
dom is a million times more to
be desired than nine-tenths of the
full-paged propositions which
each month promise returns on
various kinds of investments
which have no reasonable hope
of making good.
Much will be gained if the peo-
pie who have money to invest
will confer with some fellow citi-
zen whom they regard as most
capable of advising them. There
will then be much more money
available to equip factories, to
improve railway service, to pro-
vide for public improvements and
to push forward other worthy
kinds of enterprise. Likewise
there will be fewer empty purses
and fewer broken hearts.-,vall

The Holly chieftain., 1908-02-07
A DAY AT THE HUB.

The editor of The Chieftain
spent last Monday at Lamar, not
ing the business men in action,
likewise the county commission
ers and other officials.
While the business men are
hustlers, they do not show the
energy of ours and go about with
an expression on their faces not
calculated to win the prospective
settler. However, as rule, they
are friendly to Holly, but occa-
sionally you will find one who is
even envious of our towns prog
ress.
Chairman Saylor is man of
few words, whom the perpetual
crouch" so manifest in public
servants has never "feazed.' In
action he is diligent and painstak-
ing, and woe be unto the man
who brings an unjust bill into the
Chairman's sanctum.
Commissioner Reynolds, who
represents this end of the county,
is noted for his knowledge of
Prowers County affairs, and is
referred to as the oracle when
fine points" affecting the ma
chine are involvel. "Our Billy"
as he is called, has the happy fac
ulty of knowing by metes and
bounds every quarter section, and
can show it to you in the dark if
necessary.
Commissioner Gregory, resid-
ing at Granada, has a reputation
for promptness seldom heard OF
in public official, it being said
that not one of his proteges can
say that he ever, in his official ca
reer, disappointed them in any
way, or that his fellow-members
were ever kept in waiting for his
genial presence.
The county printing was the
goal to which number Of print
ers aspired. George Merrill was
calm and quiet, just as though he

same quality and quantity of
goods can be and are sold as
cheaply in Holly as in any of
the adjoining towns, even though
some merchants for reasons best
known to themselves do not ap-
pear to want the public to know
this beforehand.
How easily this all might have
been avoided had this particular
dealer set forth his wares in a
more attractive manner. He
would have created in the mind
of this particular customer de-
sire or the particular article
which he had for sale. This Gus
toner would have been delighted,
others would have known about
it, and the, result would he- that
the business of that dealer world
show continued growth.
This is not fanciful picture.
In some form or other it is being
reproduced almost or quite every
day. The phenomenal growth of
modern business houses, from
nothing to mammoth proper
tions, demonstrate what judicious
and truthful advertising will do.
There is not only an actual de-
mand in every locality for most
all kinds of merchandise, but
there is an acquired demand as
well, and the amount sold of the
latter is due to the intelligent ef.
forts put forth by those having
the same for sale.
The moral is plain-advertise
and do it judiciously.

ed to work for faithfully and un-
remittingly.
People are anxiously awaiting
the outcome Of the soft water
question. They fully realize how
vital it is to Holly's prosperity
and how necessary at this partic-
ular time. Surrounding towns
and cities are getting improve
ments regardless Of cost, in the
firm, belief that self-preservation
demands it.
This is an age Of almost phe-
nomenal progress. Methods used
even SO short time as ten years
ago for developing resources and
building cities are considered an
tiquated. Science has contributed

chemical action and other pro-

make profit in some manner.
