aiken CALLS 1T STEAL
SAYS The APPALACHIAN MEASURE
is A fraud.
Gives His Reasons for Voting Against
the Bill When it Comes Up in the
House Last Week.

Washington, June 3O.-Represen.
tative Aiken was asked just before
leaving Washington for his home to-
day why he had voted against the
Appalachin forest reserve bill in the
house day or two ago :in view of the
fact that there is general interest in
the matter and that the entire
south appears to be favoring 1t. Mr.
AK en- was the only member of the
South Carolina delegation who opposed
the measure and believes that his
reasons for doing 80 were good.
while am not lawer" be said
II believe that the bill is utterly with
out constitutional warrant and since
I have been in congress no measure
has come before congress 80 entirely
without constitional authority
ut is New England scheme to sell
the government q great many acres OF
worn-out sterile and rocky lands prac-
tically without value and put this great
burden upon the taxpayers, in order to
enrich q few land sharks and specu-
lators.
at is nothing short of gigantic
governmental steal pure and simple,
and would in no respect rebound to
the welfare OF the people of the United
States, but would 60 into the pockets
of q lot of consieenceless land gabbers.
"While it is pretendedly for the
tbenefit of certain southern states,
that is for effect, and to catch votes
from those states, and the lands of
New England would be unlo AIDED on
the government at an outrageous
price.
again, 1t would not aid navigation
or preserve the forest. 1t is a fake,
frand. and farce under a false guise.
1t will not preserve the forests. That
can be done and will be done without
this bill.
"If the bill becomes law from first
to last hundred millions of dollars
will be filched' from the treasury, and
the forests will not be preserved and
navigation will not be aided in that
way. In my judgment, such will
be the result of this measure, and I re-
fuse to agree to waste this vast amount
Of money and rob the people Of their
substance in this chimerical and
wastefull scheme and farcical proposal,
which originated in NeY England to
dispose of wornout lands and saddle
the cost on the taxpayers"

MAJOR F. w. R. NANCE
Celebrates His Seventy
sixth Birthday.
Sheriff for Eight Years Voluntarily Gives
Up Politics Varying Fortune Com
potency and Faithful Sons and Daugh-
ters Bless His Old Age-A Loving Wite
Makes Him Happy.

Onlast Thursday, June 30th, 1910, Major
F w. r. Nance celebrated his seventy
sixth birthday.
There were present his immediate fam
lily and few invited guests; who were
treated to dinner that would have glad
dened the palate Of the most fastldlous
Epicure.
A special dish served was blue cat, from
the gravel beds of Little River. These
were presented to him by his two sons, }.
A. and E. W. Nance and Capt. James NJ.
went into the water.
Major Nance was graduated from Frs
kline College in 1854, and he has always
been loyal to the institution His first
marriage was on the day that he received
his diploma.
Major Nance is well preserved for his
age; and it may be said of him, that i'll the
7G, years he has lived fully $50. He has
turned most of the wheels he came to
them and sometimes turned them pretty
rapidly. For the last thirty years. how
ever he has settled down to a comparative
lyquiet life, and always he has been kindly
OF heart and charitable Of the faults OF
others.
There are two things in Major Nance
career that are specially worthy of note
Before he had reached middle life he spent
what in these parts would be considered
q fortune, and then in his declining years
by his own efforts, he built up Il competen-
cy for himself and family.
He was elected sheriff of Abbcville coun-
ty and after serving about eight years
having the glow of popularity still on him
he gave up the Office voluntarily and re-
tired to private life.
Major Nance made one of the most pun
ctual sheriffs this county has ever had.
Believing that public office is public
trust he discharged his duty to the pco-
pie with scrupulous fidelity. He also
served while as County Commissioner
in which office he did good service. He
has been identified with public affairs Of
the County, serving in conventions and
majority.
Major Nance was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Agnew. To them were
born large family of sons and daughters
Never were children more loyal to pa
rents than have been the children OF Ma
ior Nance. His sons are types of indus
trious farmers and useful citizen. His
second wife, Miss Hucabee, formerly tf
Lowndesville, is of one of the best families
of that section. Their marriage has been
happy one Her interest in the Major
and in his family could have been no great
er had she been the mother of his children.
Even the Majors advanced age he
takes the keenest interest in politics, and
he usually has the clearest ider of men and
issues.
The Press and Banner and hosts OF
friends congratulate Major Nance on
passing his 10th birthday and hope that
he may live with his children and grand
children about him, to celebrate many
more anniversaries Of his birth.

Now is the Time to Side Dress !!

Mr.. ]. S. Fowler says if you will put your crop in
good condition. free from grass that he will guarantee
for every ton of High Grade fertilizer used in side
dressing you will make an extra bale of cotton. ..
It looks if bale of cotton with the seed out
of it would sell $40 and above next fall A ton of 833
will cost you $2525. The difference is profit and be-
sides the profit there is the satisfaction of having mag
ni6cent CROP For every ten bales of cotton made by
side dressing your clean clear profit is $44 at least
1t will pay you just we'll to side dress asst
will cotton Now is the time to apply it and we have
the goods especially prepared for the purpose Our
cialy prepared goods heavily charged with Nitrate
of Soda, Sulphate of Ammonia, High Grade Blood and
Fish Scrap. This insures quick action and lasting
growth Makes the crop fruit heavily and prevents

has been signed by Chiel Justice Jones
which restraints the commission from put
ting into effect the tariff on fertilizer rates,
known as circular number 135, which re-

ment had been reached between the Sea-
board Air Line, the railroad commissioners

the supreme court the Seahoard Air Line

the case to the supreme court and asked
that the railroad commission be enioined
from putting the circular into effect. 4

ed to take testimony and report the facts
in the case.
There were several sittings before the
referee. The Seaboard introduced several

es introduced by the State.
The action was brought by the
Seaboard against the members of
the railroad commission, Southern railway,
Charleston and Western Carolina railway,
Atlantic Coast Line Railway company,
Columbia, Newberry and LaurenS Railroad
company. The Scaboard was seeking to
cniOin all of these roads from putting the
circular into effect, Soon after the order
Was issued these roads put the circular
into effect and the Scaboard was the only
road to dissent.
