E. H. AULL, H(DITOR.
We notice that the farmers in
some of the counties are holding
mass meetings to protest against
the increase in the price of fetilizer
which it is said has been increased
from two to three dollars per ton.
The average farmer could make a
great deal more fertilizer at home
if he would give a little more time
and labor to it than he does. It may
be that the increase in the price
of connercial fertilizer will be to
him a blessing in disguise if it keeps
him from using so much of it. At the
same time the only way the farmer
has of securing his rights is to protest
when he feels they have been in
fringed and if the farmers would
place themselves in position to unite
they could be the most independent
people in the world.
Col. John Bell Towell has sold
the Batesburg Advocate to N. R.
Bayly and retires from the editor
ship. We are glad to note, how
ever, that the name of John Bell
Towell still remains at the head of
the editorial page as assistant editor
for this means that he will still be
with the press association whose
members esteem him very highly
for his many good parts.
RURAL MAIL ROUTE'
At Congressman Aiken's Request Petitior
From Nzwberry Will Have Precc
dence Over Others.
As The H1erand & News la
stated on several occasions thi
paper has been endeavoring to hav(
two miore rural delivery routes es.
tablished and also to get the tw(
routes leading out from Sliglh.,
made daily. Petitions and letter
have been sent to Congressmar
Wyatt Aiken. He has promiset
to do all he can in this matter am
The Herald & News is sure he ha:
been active and when lie goes t<
Washington in the next few day:
will give the matter his persona
attention. He has assurance of the
fourth assistant postliaster genera
that the matter will have proip
attention and also that the petition
from Newberry shall have prece
dence over the petitions from othe:
sections of the district and whic
have been on file longer. The
following letter explains the mat
ter and shows that Mr. Aiken ha:
beeni doin1g all lie could:
Hon. Wyatt Aiken, M. C., Ab)
beville, S. C. Sir :Your letter o
the 7th instant urging that a specia
agent be assigned to the wor k o
investigating petitions for rura
free delivery service in your distric
has beeni receiv'ed.
In rep)ly you are advised thati
Is not possible to detail an agent t<
work in your district at this timec
As you have heretofore been ad
vised the work of invstigatinj
petitions under the rule of takinj
them in the ordler of filing is bein1
pushed as rapidly as possible. 0
course all of the long standing pe
titions cannot be takeni up at the
same time.
Noting your request that certaim
petItions (referring to the Newberr'
petitions) be taken up in preferen
to others ini your district, instruc
tions have been given that the lpeti
tions indicated in your letter b<
taken up first when an agent is as
signed to your district, it being tun
derstood that thei - conlsideratiom
may be to the prejudice of early in
vestigation of petitions of longe:
standing. A -

Letter to J. M. Schumpert, Newberry, S. C
Dear Sir: You are interested in th<
prosperity of your town. You can con.
tribute to it materially, and give it .
far more prosperous look at the sam
time.
Perhaps the public property needs
good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat with two
thirds of the number of gallons reouire(
of any other. Devoe will last twice a.
long as any other. Devoe is all paini
and full-measure. Devoe is the strong
est xmint known. Devoe will take car(
of tWe property. in the long run, foi
half the money required by any other
The reason is stated above: Devoe i:
all paint and full-measure: the strong
est paint known.

house 53 years ago with a mixed paint

pair.,d with Devoe bought 14 gallon
and had 4 left. Saved $15 to $20, fo
painting costs two or three times a
much as the paint.

First Cost Not the Cheapest.
The first cost of an article does no
necessarily determine its cheapnesq
For instance, a sack of "Clifton" flou
may cost you a little more than othe
so-called patent flours, but it will b
cheaper to you in the end. Why? Bc
cause it will not only make more brea
to the sack, but will tak~e less lard an
soda to make it. Orde? a sack of "Clii
ton" and make a test for yourself. I
wimll prove the truth of this statemeni
