For the Benefit of All We Publish
This General Invitation.
Clemson College, S. c.,
January 6, 1911.

Dear Sir
Several years ago few Of the
owners and breeders Of live stock
in this State met and organized the
South Carolina Live Stock Associa-
ton, the purpose Of the Association
being to promote the live stock in
dustry of South Carolina. AS mot
to to work under they adopted "More
Live Stock and Better Live Stock. "
Each year since the organization an
annual meeting has been held in the
city Of Columbia. Reports Of these
meetings have been published and l
have sent you copy OF the report
Of the last meeting. 1 hope that you
have read it.
Your name has been given to me
as one who is interested In live
STOCK, and I now write to ask If you
will not join the Association and
help to work for "More and Better
Live Stock"
South Carolina is justly proud of
her corn records, but she should not
be proud Of her live stock. She is
far short both in quality and number
Of live stock kept. TO continue to
increase the yield of grain and cot
ton animal manures are necessary.
Not only is the manure needed, but
larger and better horses and mules
are needed TO br:aI the soil and to
work the crops.
The Asso .iatio his done much in
getting the present inspection laws
passed wlic. hav done 50 much fer
the State. Pat To 60 its bcS7 it must
have the help If every enc who is m
terested in live stock. Therefore, l
would urge you to join and help MS
to push forward the good work. E;;i-
closed you will find an application
card which I hope you will fill out
and return to me.
The next melting will be held Feb
ruary 1st, End, and 3rd, and pro-
gram will be sent you later. In con-
nection with the Association meet
ing will be held a Butter Scoring 6
Contest. This contest will be open
to all and will cost nothing except
the express charges on the butter en-
tered. There will be two classes &!
butter, namely, Dairy Butter and
Farm or Country Butter. The but
ter will be Judged by an expert from
Washington and the premiums will
be good-s20, SIS, IS, SIS and s.
for each class. If you are interest
ed, write me for rules and entry
blanks.
With best wishes for the New
Year, I remain
Yours very truly,

HUGE q COTTON FIRE.
About Eleven Hundred Bales Burned
In Warehouse.

In. Warehouse.
One Of The most disastrous fires
that has visited this city in a mum.
Der OF years took place Thursday
afternoon .wnen the Peoples cotton
warehouse was burned, containing
over J, 1000 bales Of cotton. The cot
ton in this warehouse was Iowned
largely by John Cart, prominent
cotton buyer%of this city, The rest
Of the cotton was stored in, Mr.. Carts
warehouse by other persons, for
whom Mr. Cart la warehoasemsn.
The loss entailed upon Mr.. Cart is,
in all probability, covered by insur-
ance, as between s65,000 and S7G.-
900 insurance was carried on this
cotton. There will very likely be a
large salvage, as it is thought nearly
one-third o: the cotton will be saved.
There was nearly 1,100 bales Of cot
ton in the warehouse at the time OF
the fire. This cotton is worth be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
The fire fighting Of the local fire
companies was excellent, as the
large reservoir Of the Standard Oil
company vas within 20 feet Of the
burning building, while the Southern
Cotton Oil company's plant and the
Orangeburg Cotton Manufacturing
plant were in close proximity. The
warehouse was large brick build
Ing, with metal roof. The origin OF
the IRE is. not known, the fire beins
under great headway when discov-
cred.
The fire departments were hard
at work for several hours getting
the fire under control, but they at
last succeeded, and then they Yer..
to- work to- put out the fire III the
cotton, which took them until late
hour in the night. Chief Di55:, and
his brave tiremen are to- be consras-
ulated on the handsome manner in
which they fought and subdued this
very danger GUS fire.
