Fer
tilizer Question

II. a. Bowen, county agent,
conducted a fertilizer campaign
in Pickens county last week and
had with him Agents Chapman
Of Greenville county and Byars
of Anderson county. The Oh
ject Of the meetings was to dis
cuss fertilizers, how to use, how
to buy and what to buy.
1t was the consensus Of opin-
ion at these meetings thatit was
unnecessary to even think Of buy
ing fertilizer that contains any
potash. as it is selling now for
more than $500 per ton. AS the
first six inches of soil in this sec
ton contains about 1000 pounds
Of potash to the acre it is thought
this will be enough to last awhile
without buying any while the
price is SO high.
Home-miXing of fertilizers is
advocated by many experiment
stations, some claiming that it
effects saving Of from 81 to $40
a ton. Figures quoted by Glen
son College show a saving of
from SIS to 81 ton by mixing at
home. Sixteen percent acid and
cottonseed meal will make
good mixture, as will acid and
cattle tankage.
The ammonia in tankage is de-
rived from three different
sources: First, from blood; sec
ond, from flesh scraps; third,
from the bones. You will find
commercial fertilizers ammoni-
ated this year with cottonseed
meal and tankage or blood, and
this is one Of the times when
YOU should know from what
source this ammonia is derived.
A good deal Of interest was
manifested in the meetings last
week.
Some of tho farmers have re-
quested me to secure and adyer.
tise cash prices of fertilizers. T
am not agent for any company,
but hope to put farmers in touch
with parties who have best
prices.
My advice is, if local dealers
have or will give close prices for
cash, buy from them always. It
is up to the farmers to. save
everything they can. Quite q
nice little sum was saved last
year on the fertilizer bill by
those who paid cash.
| will from time to time keep
prices advertised. The prices
below are for fertilizer guaran-
teed and delivered to any station
in Pickens county:
lG per cent acid. sacked, SIG. 81
per ton.
1912 1-2-O, S22.17 ton.
1920, $2O.53 ton.
$40, 800. .O6 ton.
Z per cent cotton seed meal.
S35. 90 ton.
Cattle takagc, containing 81
to- per cent ammonia, 8 to 10
per cent phosphorus acid and !

Clerks of Court
of Pickens unity

my last communication I gave.
you as nearly as | could the
names and a brief sketch Of the
different clerks of Old Pickens%
District, and as Oconee and Pick -
ems are sister counties from the B
old mother district, I have tried
to arrange similar list of the
two counties, which may be OF
interest to those who come here
after, while much Of what / re-
late may be we'll known to many
of your readers.
Robert A. Bowen was the
first clerk Of court for PickenS
county and made most honor
able and creditable record. He
served several years and yolun
tarily retired from the office. He
was for many years postmaster
at Pickens @. H., aid was pop
uiar and satisfactory as such
officer. Nh. Bowen made a brave
and gallant soldier in our.fratriA
cidal strife over secession anG
bears Upon his person evidence
of his patriotism--a wound re-
ceived on one Of the battlefields
Of Virginia. "
Mr.. Bowen is still livingin the
enjoyment Of the fruits of his
honest toll and the society Of
an interesting family and many
friends.
| The writer knew Mr.. Bowen
in his young manhood, and NO
nobler youth ever listened to the
instructive voice Of the vener-
able John l.. Kennedy within
the walls Of old Thalian Acad-
emy, where so many of our bril-
liant and gifted young men re.
ceiyed the rndiments Of their.
education.
The second clerk was John y.
Lewis, whose long term of sep-.
vice proved his official efficiency
| and personal populary. MI.
Lewis was for several years
United States commissioner and
also y. S. deputy marshal. He.
too, was a soldier in the Lost
Cause, was q good and true
; man. a Christian gentleman, and
when he died a few years ago
his death was lamented by alt
who knew him. He left a large
circle Of influential relatives anys
friends in Piclens and Oconee.
He Wassucceeded in the clerks
office by Rev.J M. Stewart, who
gave some Of the best years of
his life to the service Of his:
country, and best of all, many
years of his life have been de-
voted to preparing his own and
the souls Of others for a brighter
world. In point Of years the
Major is somewhat advanced,
but ! am told he is III the enjoy
ment Of good health and youth
ful happiness.
Next comes the present incun-
bent, A. John Boggs, who is too
well known us an officer, a man.
a citizen and % Christian to need
any praise from me. He was
too young to 90 to the war, but
his father, the lamented Aaron
Boggs, entered the army at an
advanced age and was a lieuten-
ant in the cavalry company Of
Captain John w. l.. Carey ),
later commanded by Capt. John
G. Calhoun.
Mr.. BOggs is still a young man
and it is hoped many years Of
honor and happiness await him.

That "after supper" baseball in Win

that it is impossible to see the ball, is
Uuglaub's complaint, and he lodged
protests with President Burmeister
on that score. " "..
Say" said the colonel, that ball
