* - hereas~f~ ovfiiself a dunken the wo how will he ever- iaeY respeet r you?: It makes a - a man. A drinker is a criminals fo he either- makes it or buys It and either is a crime. A criminal is a' bad citizen, a bad neighbor. His ac tion is an insult to decency and law. Law is a sacred thing, whether a law suits our feelings or our appetites and desires, if it is constitutional, each one should keep that law and see to it that -others keep it. We-ought to respect all law'or no law. It is a serious and dangerous thing to defy or assault any constitutional law re gardless of how I feel about it. The only safety of our people lies in ev ery man taking as a serious respon sibility the respecting of his laws, and considering it a personal affront and attack for any one to violate them. Every violation of law weak ens the fabric of society. If we put up a united front and assume the grave responsibility which is ours we shall be able to put the bootleggers where they belong and keep our boys and men from being dragged down to the shame and disgrace of a drunk ards hell. Many a man will probably answer us by saying "I will do as I please." I will answer and say that a man deceives himself when he im agines he pleases to do wrong. No human being ever viciously pleased to do wrong until the devil had mas tered him and made him a tool of the kingdom of hell. I make a frightful and shamefaced admission when I say I choose to do wrong. For I ad mit that my will is not my own, I have given it to ar >ther. My charac ter is not my own, the devil is using it to destro m to seduce others. I am not my miaster but a cowardly slave to wrong appetites.

I am in the race for the Legisla ture because I stand for the advance ment and upbuilding of our :county. And in as much, as I am not very well known all over the county I want to take this method of talking to my fellaw citizens, both ladies and men. There are three important issues that are common to us all-taxes, schools and roads. I am not in favor of- high tax. I do not think that our people should be taxed any more than is. necessary and would, if elected to the legisla ture, support any measur-e that was introduced to relieve the tax pres sure wvhere it would not effect the efficiency of the department of gov ernment from which it would have to be taken. I heartily endorse any measure that will bring to light any property that should be taxed and which is not. ! ai; ii favo:- of an even distribution of t'.e ta~x burde:a so that it will rest equally upon those of different positions and occupations and in proportion to their earning or income capacities. I am in . r~ :- ~juicous appr-o priations. I feel th..t the .iffeie '.t to - . mnents of oar governmenlt should b: supported ade.quately anJ that our standirig in all departments shall be kept up to a credlitable standard. But * I believe that a strict account shall be kept and that the affairs of our county, and state shall be adminis teredl upon a sound andl business-like principle, where every dollar spent will have purchased 100 cents worth of whatever commodity that it w..as expended for. I want to assure you that I am heartily in favor of running our coun ty and state at as little expense as is possible, and at the same time give to our people the benefits due them. Personally I am a poor man and feel the need of caution in a financial way. I am in no wise ignorant of the pres -ent state of affairs all over our state, and I am quite sure that we :n Fair field county ar-e not different from other parts. But at the same time I feel that we will support our county always in an~y enterprise that is for -the good of our citizens and the up building of our county in a way that will b:-ng : -..t :- ours i - - I am heartily in favor of doing ev erything possible for the good of the .public schools of our county and state. I realize that the school house and school teacher is a very important factor in the building of our nation; and I think that the best of both i none too good for our children. I think that consolidation. where- tran portation facilties are praactical, the logical course to pursue. i reasonable to believe that a cil d cn deie moe good from a school tm en our sc any ot of taxes source. I feel the i feel that maintain thenUa hig that the state chouldc a way that will inake it posible T every white child in South Carolina to have a full term in a good school every year. Now last, but not least, we come to my hobby. I have thought of good roads for Fairfield county so long that it seems hard for me to realize that there is a man, womtan or child in Fairfield county who has not the same ideas. We can't say or do too much for good roads. They are the greatest asset to any county in a fi nancial way that we can have. The advent into a county of a good road program properly carried out means the exit of low priced farm lands and the low percentage of demand for them. The person who at the present day is in the market for a farm or home will not seek for it in a county that has not taken some steps for ward in upbuilding. I am in favor of a bond issue for Fairfield county for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars. Because it is cheaper for us to pay the small-ad ditional tax that it will put upon us than to (1o without the good roads. It will take the half-million dollars to build us a fair system of highways throughout the county. We have to have it to obtain some of the thous ands of dollars that the Federal gov urnment is giving every year to the different counties and states that are trying to help themselves. And we have first hand information from the State Highway Department that they have a good many-thousand dollars ready to give to Fairfield county just as soon as we pass this little bond issue. Friends, that is one of the greatest reasons that I advocate this bond is sue. We need this money on our roads so badly and the government is so anxious to give it to us. And there is. no other way .for us to. get. it. Ydu would not hate us lose all the aid that- the Federal governmet SATURDAY, Tina May in "The D Don't miss this pictui make up the series of t W Xorld." This is not a a finished subject.

Much valuable information was gathered which will without doubt be put to good use in the establish ment and care of orchards in this state. The visitors to Georgia came home convinced that peaches and ap pies can be grown profitably in the Piedmont counties as in Georgia, bu that it will require intelligent care ful following of the best practices in every phase of the business from va riety selection and planting to market ing to win success. Below are given some notes regarding * the practices of fruit growers around Cornelia. The fruit business is no "nigger and a mule" business but one that requires constant attention from planting.to marketing. Nerve, money, and experience are needed for success in the peach busi ness. Peach trees must be grown and handled so as to produce an average of two crates per tree, 200 crates per acre, to be commercially profitable. That an old practically (lead peach I orchard can be renovated and made profitable is illustrated by the ex perience of Lyman Veeder, of Cor .nelia, Ga. Don't merely spray trees-give them a real "bath" of spray material, if you would prevent rots and worms. Spray material can be made by )rchardisls at 1-2 to 3-4 saving. Small growers could well co-operate to put up spray material plants. Peach trees should bear some fruit the third year. Peach trees should be handled like babies and peaches like eggs, to get good fruit and have this good fruit reach-markets in good condition. - Ciatvation of peach orchards is with -tractor and harrow until late June .'hen sown to Brabliam . and Iron cairpeas or velvet beans.

TWO STORE form for the next year's crop. Build up the peach soils and fix them to hold the winter rainfall for spring and summer use. ' Paradichorobenzine is used to ad vantage to destroy peach borers. One lyqgrower at Cornelia uses it even on very young trees. Peach trees properly cared for should live in this climate 25 years. The peach tree, like a man, must have three square meals a (lay, says Lyman Veeder. Varieties of apples given prefer eoce by North Georgia growers are Winesaps and Yates for winter, Yel 'low Transparent, Brilliant, and Re gal for summer. Plant one-year-old apple trees. Properly cared for, trees should last '5 years. Pruning is practiced to some ex tent on apple orchards each year. Apple growers prefer winter cover crops. Apple trees are fertilized with 4 to 6 pounds of nitrate of soda and 10 pounds of acid phosphate per tree each spring. Sometimes the soda is given half when buds swell and half when fruit begins to set. Winesap seem m6st free from blights. Some successful apple orchard owners cultivate with tractor har row until July 1, then plant cowpeas and cut peas and weeds before apple harvest time and let lie as mulch. One successful grower has 30-year old apple trees which have not been cultivated for 15 years but in or chard grass and red clover sod, which is cut in early July and left as mulch. He fertilizers these trees in Feburary and March with 20 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate and 6 pounds of nitrate of soda or applied broadcast. Cultivate apple orchards until trees are 12 to 15 years old as you would corn, not over 3 to 4 inches deep, stopping cultivation July 1 to 15. Fight frost injury in apple or chards by having vigorous healthy trees through fertilizing, cultivating and spraying. Most apples are planted 30 x 35 feet apart,-48 trees per acre. The Georgia Fruit Exchange niar kets 80 percent of the peaches grown in Georgia. There seems good reason to be lieve that with similar soil and cli mate the Piedmont counties of South Carolina can produce peaches and apples succesduliy, as does North Georgia, and demonstrations in this state prove this.

They have come to realize that fod der is the most expensive form ofll: forage which they can raise on the'r' and especially for storage in the ear. peas, soybeans, sorghum and other things for forage and to leave their corn alone until mature. They have stopped this practice because they. have found it to be, not only a hot dirty work, but also that it reduce. the yield of corn so greatly that they, can not afford to do it. Several different experiment sta tions have ca -efully tested the ter and have found that pullingW' fodder reduces the yield of ear corn by 10 to 12 per cent, says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agronomist. This loss amounts to 3 bushels per acre on the.. average. Frequently the loss to ear corn is worth as much as the fodder saxed and the farmer has had his, work for nothing. , The leaf is the factory of the corn plant where the raw material which is taken from the soil ond the air are united by the energy of the sun to form starch, oil, protein, and fats for the growth of the entire plant and especially fo rstorage in the ear. As the leaf dries out, these foods are transferred, in a large measure, from the leaf to the ear. If the leaf is pulled before it is thoroughly dry, this transfer cannot take place -and the result is a loss to the ear. It is because of this loss that the more progressive farmers no longer depend. on fodder as a storage for livestock,. but-use instead cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, sorghum, or some othak source. Most of these are not on4?" much cheaper' forage but also better. Let us hope that it will not be long until "fodder pulling" will be a relic of the past.
