WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE :?
Representative Cluy Asks Expression
From People OF Oconcc.
Columbia, Jan. 16, 1911.

TO the Voters Of OcOnee County:
In making the campaign for the
House Of Representatives last sum-
mer | gave 1T as my opinion that 1t
would be good plan to abolish the
Office OF County Commissioner, and
III lieu thereof secure legislation Gre
atlng sub-supervisOrs or township
commissioners, one for each of the
eight townships IF the county, the
same to be elected by the voters Of
their respective townships in our pri-
maries every two years.
AS ! was selected by you as one Of
your Representatives | feel that a
good many at least must have agreed
with me on this point, and now ask
every Democratic voter in the county
that Will do SO to write me a letter
or postal card as to how you feel
about this matter and whether Won
prefer to let matters stand as they
are. or prefer change as above sug-
gested.
AS the present Commissioners Of
fered for office and were elected for
two years, I do not feel that it
would be fair to them to ATTEMPT to
make any change for the present
year, but | should like to be able
for us to secure legislation that
would put such a plan in operation
tor l9l2. the Governor to appoint
the commissioners for 1912 on rec
ommendation Of the Senator and
representatives, and In the primaries
or that year let each township name
the man they want to serve for the
ensuing two years.
| sincerely trust that many of you
Will act on this request, writing TO
either Senator Earle, Mr.. Harris or
me what plan you think would he
best for our county.
! have investigated and find that
quite number Of the counties of the
State have the township commission
er plan. and so far as ascertained all
or them prefer 1t to the old plan Of
County Commissioners.
Respectfully, F.. NJ. Cary

SOME GOOD ADVICE FOR 1911.
Look After Your Land aud Also Your
Home Supplies.

Walhalla, Jan. 17-.Editor Keowee
in regard to our farms and farming
methods for 1911.
What do we hope to do to better
the condition of those around us?
We have bright new year. and the
first thing Is to do unto others as we
would have them to do unto u.s.
then all will go well.
The first thing for the farmer to
do Is to decrease the acreage or cot
ton by sowing some more oats and
setting aside some worn parts Of the
farm to rest. Try to fix it so that 1t
will not wash and let it lie idle for
the present year
The next thing to do Is to bed your
lands for corn just as soon as possi-
Bile, but be sure that it IS dry. When
| say dry mean not mud
Repair all Implements and har-
ness; build up your terraces, stop all
washes, haul all the litter you can
on your lands; look after your fruit
trees, repair the pasture fences, and
get ready In general for the summers
work
But for the sake OF your family
ana your country 40 not mortgage
your milk COWS, crops, wives and
children for $500 pair OF mule, to
be turned back to the dealer in The
fall. You cannot blame the man who
sells. EIe does not care to work for
q living and YOU are aware Of the
fact. This old system Is what will
make slaves Of you and yours. 1t
makes me want to bring men to their
senses when | see them voluntarily
hire their wives and children and
selves to men for from three to ten
years, and know when they are
making the mortgage that they will
not get one cent out Of It, This helps
to cause hard times, and as long as
we follow this practice we will know
nothing else.
This Is bidding fair to be a hard
year. My advice Is to go slow and
look before you jump.
1T would be profitable step to
SOW some beaMless barley in March
You can get 1t Of II. w. Wood &
Sons. Get some pigs and be sure
that your milk supply Is plentiful
Prepare a good garden; that means
some. ling. Sow turnip seed. Get an
even art If possible, and be sure
not to over-crOp, for that means a
failure NJ. G. Holland

A.-For the first, there's no
remedy but the dyer, as the color
is probably taken out by the acid

by washing 1t in gasoline. Put In
a gallon bucket, cover with gaso-
line, cover, let stand over night,
and In the morning souse up and
down until clean. Hang up in the
air to dry. Be very careful about
fire. After gasoline has settled
the clean can be poured off and

HELD FOR SHOOTING
OF W. E. D. STOKES
Misses Conrad and Graham
Bound Over to Grand Jury.

New York, July 12.-Ethel Conrad
and Lillian Graham, who on June 6
shot w. e. d. Stokes, the millionaire
hotel man, in their apartment, were
held in $4,000 bail for the grand jury
on a charge of %felonious assault.
Magistrate Freschi, in deciding to
hold the two girls for the grand jury,
stated that he would ignore the ele-
ment of scandal in the case. He said a
prima facie case had been made out
and that no defense had been offered,
and therefore there was nothing left
for him to do but to hold the young
women.
Robert w. Moore, of counsel for the
girls, had expected the case to go to
the grand jury and for this reason re-
fused to put either of his clients on
the stand, but contented himself with
trying to show that Stokes went to
the apartments of the young women
get possession of certain letters
and that the girls shot in self-defense.
