In the years that the South Caro-
lima Bureau OF Marketing has been
operated there have only been Ave com-
plants as to the quality of products
and as to Misrepresentation by sell
lers, which is a remarkable record.
The Bureau at the outset and contin-
ually since has warned all that any
transaction not clean and honest
meant the closing of the Bureau TO
the parties so abusing the privilege,
and warning has also been repeated
ly given that the Bureau could not as
sumo responsibility for any transac-
tion.
These warnings are again sounded.
This week q sixth complaint came in
the following form, it is needless to
say that the names Of the parties con-
cerned have been dropped from the
Bureaus lists, and that such other
action as is possible will be taken ::
the letter is printed in full for this is
q class Of seed dealing that is exempt
from the operation Of the State Seed
Inspection law:
81 am one among the many South
Carolinians who highly endorse the
good work you are carrying on through
your weekly market bulletin, and wish
you the greatest success.
"In one respect l think some i'm
provement might be made, namely ir
responsible parties offering question
able seed for planting seed, should be
gradually eliminated from the advant
ages the market bulletin affords.
"As to how this can be done, I car
offer no suggestions.
my loss from this source has been
considerable this season, also a neigh
Dor met with great disappointment
both Of us buying through the Weekly
Bulletin from the same party.
But on the whole the Market Is
such a grand thing that it seems q
pity to find a fly in the ointment"
Another farmer writes, by way oi
contrast, as follows:
am sending my bull to Mayesville
today to load for Chesterfield. Have
bought ram and Collie pup, and sold
several lambs through your Bureau
and all the peas had to offer. One
shipment of peas went to Elkton, Fla
and shipment Of shoulders to Colds
boro, N. C. This is the best test Of
the widespread influence Of your work
The Goldsboro customer said he Is
regular patron of your Bureau"
The following is the weekly sum

Only one man appeared in the city court ,Ionday morning but three cases were disposed ot.
 Lawrence Legrande, from Quincy, ILL, now employed at the freight de- pot, appeared with an abrasion on his nose which he claimed was made by the fist of James Holland. James didn't deny his fistic act but said il was n sober punch as he was not drunk.
 Legrande said that James was seen passing along the freight depot plat. form Saturday morning making many misteps. He said the freight handlers began to "kid" James about being drunk. He, Leersnde, said, "He's pickIedn Holland came up to him while he had both hands on truck and, prefaeing his action with the re. mark, m pickled am I2' let fly his right fist catching the witness on the bridge of thesnose.
