science prompts him. Tie re-
spectacle negro looks to the
white man to shield him from
the vicious, whether he be white
or black, as much so as the white
man does, and he will give his
services at all times to insure this
protection to the white man as
we'll as to his own people. Then
why molest this happy condi-
ton ?
I am opposed to using the law
making power of this State to}
manufactur. material for politi-
clans to run for Office on. I do
not feel that I am representing
a people who would have me to
do so, but if I thought the peo-
pie I have the honor to speak for
in the senate, have no higher
appreciation Of a representa-
tive's duty, I would tear up my
commission and remain at home
forever more. I represent a
proud and a noble people, they
would not have me to lend nv.
|self to aid in the qualification Of
petty ambitions, they would lose
their esteem for me did do so,
and when 1 say to them the
measure introduced in the house
by Mir. Fortner cannot re.
ceive my support as it
is written, they will believe l
am conscientious in the belief
that it is unwise, unjust and
insincere.
AS stated in my last letter,
Mr.. Burgess introduced Bill to
require manufacturers of Com
mercial fertilizers to put all fer
tilizers offered for sale IN sacks
| of one hundred pounds each.
The bill IS on the house calandar
with favorable report from
the committee on agriculture,
how this measure successfully
run the gauntlet of the commit
tee is beyond conjecture. I have
no special objections to the
measure, if it is what the farm
erm want, it suits me, but should
| it become a law they will have
to pay the piper for the addi
tional sacking and the additional
labor of packing. I am told the
fertilizer manufacturers will
now put up guano in 100 pound
sacks if the purchaser so desires
and willing to pay the additional
cost for sacking, if this be true,
| I see no necessity for the law.
The statute books are ladened
down with useless laws, and it is
time to call a halt on useless
legislation. I have not heard
any fertilizer people express
themselves on Mr.. Burgess bill,
but I have heard farmers--.mem-
bers of the senate say the bill is
not necessary, and If enacted
Into law it would force farmers
to receive the fertilizer in the
100 pound sacks whether the,
want it so or not; some farmers
do not purchase in sacks at all
they buy in bulk in large quan.
titles, and save the cost of sack
ing, the Burgess bill would pre-
vent this. l herewith attach a
copy of the Bill:
A Bill to require manufacturers
