A Good Suggestion

MIR Editor: wish to make sug-
gestion that consider of Importance to
the voters of Pickens county and es.
pecially to the legislative delegation Of
this county.
We have registration law in this
state and the law provides for board
of three supervisors Of registration for
each county and the members Of that
board are appointed by the governor,
with the advice and consent of the SEN
ate.
AS we all know, there are always
more or less applicants for the positions;
this works hardship upon our senator
and leaves room for hard feelings
AS there is to be an election in Sep
tember on the whiskey question, and if
| am not mistaken, the board of regis
tration for this county will have to be
appointed in January, 1916, why not let
the applicants for position on this
board offer their services few weeks
before said election and let the people
have voice in choosing that board?
Let the candidates be assessed enough
to pay for the tickets and SO much other
expense as their part might incur.
We believe our senator would be high
lY in favor of this, as it would relieve
him of responsibility. Let us hear

Sunset News Letter

Dear Editor, and your many
readers: [ will send you a few
more scattering news items,
from this little quiet corner Of
Of the county.
Mrs. A. II. Winchester had
the misfortune to sprain or put
her right ankle out of place on
the 9th Of February, and has
not been able to walk any on it
since, except on crutches.
We were visited by a very
large snow for the time Of year
on the 2Oth of March. We
heard an older man say that
snow fell on the 10th Of March,
1876, similar to the recent one.
aYour scribe asked this ques-
ton some years ago through The
Sentinel, and [ now will repeat
it: Can anybody tell when it
happened, Gf ever) or when it
will happen, that there will be
five Sundays in February.
Rev. B. f. Murphree preached
two very impressive, instructive,
uplifting and inspiring sermons
at Antioch on last second Sat
urday and Sunday. His text
on Sunday was from the 18th
chapter and first verse Of He
brews. He also accepted the
call Of the church, for which we
ire thankful to God" for send

Watch the Higher-Ups, Too

Governor Manning is apparently doing
all in his power to put down the illegal
liquor traffic throughout the state, and
in doing 80 he is entitled to the support
of all good citizens. Laws should be
obeyed, and every citizen worthy of the
name should hold himself as committee
of one to do his part in seeing that they
are obeyed. 1t is somtimes as impor-
tant to watch carefully those whose
duty it is to enforce the laws as we'll as
those who have justly laid themselves
under suspicion as most liable to violate
the laws. And above all let us do away
with prejudice" The called higher
up who assumes the right to do as he
pleases because he thinks he is above
the law is really more dangerous to the
well-being Of society than is the most
desperate of criminals. y Yorkville En-

Washing the mixers hands

A pound of butterfat sold from
the farm takes away much less
Of the soils fertility than does
pound of hay or grain. Feed
the hay and grain to dairy
cattle, keep the fertility on the
farm and derive your cash from
the sale of butterfat.
Murine Cowan, an Ohio
Guernsey COW, has broken the
worlds record with production
in one year of 1,O96 pounds of
butterfat, which churned into
1,40O pounds of butter. The
record holder before her was
also a Guernsey.
Butterfat in the form of first
class butter is worth 30 cents
per pound or more. In the form
of low quality butter, it is worth
20 cents or less. Are YOU get
ting the higher price by pro-
ducing the better quality? If
not, the Dairy Division OF Glenn
son College will be glad to help
you find remedies.
When good COW is sold from
your community, it requires
about six years to grow another
to replace her. This is easily
understood when it is remem-
bered that about half the calves
born are males and that at least
half of the heiferS do not develop
into good COWS.
Many we'll bred COWS have
made poor records because of re-
ceiving poor treatment. On the
other hand, many COWS of in
fe,ior breeding have done ex-
rellently under good care. He
redity is only half the secret of
dairy record. Environment
is the other factor. and one that
must he taken into account.
