Mrs. Patterson of Tlmmonsvllle and Miss Lawtou of Hijrtsviile. s. who have heen the bonoied guests of Mr. J. M. Law ion and ? family, left yesterday for their respective A homes. These lRdies were much pleased wilh A our city and people, and during their stay met quite a number of our ladles who will " remember them most pleasantly. [c Mr. A. W. McNeill and family who have been spending several months with thfir Hl brother Mr. Thomas McNeill of Sharon have 11 moved to Abbeville wtiere they will make their home lor the present. These are good people aud we welcome them to our city. The ScAut cars will he remembered as one of the events of 1901). Who would have ever m dreamed of a highway from the Sunny South ai to the city of New York upon which road ai many will travel instead of by rail. The r? publio highway for the great, machines will M be built and upon It many will come aud go. Everybody seems forging to the front, aud the "watchword" of the day seems to be "forward," the world itself seems punhtng onward aud upward, as we are uow trying to V buot up our neighbors in the planets far a above ue?. ? u?t We understand the ministers of the d liferent churches in Abbeville will on next Sun- T day preucb temperance sermons. Tbe publie are most cordially iDvlted. Let every- 6 body go and find all tbe good they can on this great subject tbat is now shaking tea foundations of tbe world so to speak, aud ^ is awaking world-wide interest among its J inhabitants. Let Christians vote as tbey pray, and dare to do tbe right. " The McGowan-Gary house is now upon its new site and is, we learn, to be repainted, ? filled up with water "works' and electric ligots aud will outshine tbe gjory of its former days for we remember when It was "one of tbe houses" in Abbeville, but alas its former greatness Ib lost, when we look Hround upon the many handsome buildings of modern architecture and beauty. This is a significant fact tbat old things are passing away, and new ones coming in. This will till be a neat and pretty cottage when renewed and finished anew. The City Council have opened up "Marshall Avenue" leading over tue brow of Magazine bill to the baseball grounds with nice sidewalks on either side. Thiols a great Improvement. Crops never presented a more flattering appearance than now; they are generally weil worked, clean of grass and growing nicely. Corn has a rich dark green color.and from me waiving utiu? wo to be a larger acreage than usual planted. Slock ol all kinds generally look well and everything seems to be nourishing on the farm. Abbeville's "young marooners" returned last Saturday from a week's stay at Mllwood on the rolling Savannah. It is needless to .say tbey had a splendid tlm# and plenty fish. We don't suppose they killed any bear or wild turkeys as they carried a box of shells but forgot their guns. They all arrived home sate and sound, some by rail and some by the dirt road. "M" captured a large "cooter" last Friday night near McUaw's bridge and brought It to the city and presented It to Mr. Doc Bowie who en]oyed it for hi? Sunday dinner. Messrs. Charlie McKenzle,Robert McCanty, Bennet and Eugene Link spent ast Saturday night and Sunday with their home people. ; Mr. C.F.Graves and family, accompanied by Miss Lillian McCanty, were among the visitors In the city Friday. Misses Kobena Gilliam and Ada McNeill were the charming gnests of their friend Miss Louise McKenzle Tuesday. Sbaron and Bethel teams crossed bats last Saturday afternoon, and after a hotly contested game Sharon's team came out ahead. Little Mary and Master William Nickles are spending the week with their ciandparents. Miss Mary Wilson and brother Mr. T. E Wilson of Gralnrldge were among the welcome guests in tbe city one day last week. Messrs. J. H. Penney and R. P. McNeill were In tbe city la6t Monday attending to business. Miss Beatrice Adams after a protracted stay with her sister Mrs. W. H. Edmonds of Spartanburg, Is expected home today. , Mrs. Janle Fosbrook Is spending a while with her sister Mrs. A. J. Woodhurst ol Sbaron. Mr. W. C. McNeill and one of his llttlo sons were in the clly last week. I'art 01 rouie 6 naa a nice ram wmouuday. News Is scarce, everybody is busy aod but little else doing on route 3. No time for visiting and picnics yet awhile. South Carolina's Democrats Keowee Courier. It Is really refreshing to watch, even at long range, the course of our representatives in national affairs?at least It is refreshing in some Instance*; provoklDgly tiresome In others. Moet conspicuous among the refreshing ones has been the course of Congressman Aiken, of the Third, who has steered clear of entangling alliances with "the enemy" throughout and has held fast to Democratic principles of merit at all times. 1 Senator ?. D. Smith Is another whose course, though Just in the formative stages. Is keeping well to the main channel of Democratic principles. This long-drawn-out discussion of tariff issues may result In little or no immediate benefit to the American people as a whole, but If our Democratic Senators and Representatives will stand squarely by their guns as ilr. Smith and Mr. Aiken are doing, there will be future results beneficial to the Democratic party,which is not dead, tut Bleepeth."

Yours truly, Anderson Phos. & Oil Co. Mr. J. Wade Drake, Anderson, S. C. Dear Sir?We have heard that by a IlDeraiuseoi lenmzeis, pim aide dressing, you made seventy bales of cotton on sixty acres of land last year. We will appreciate it if you will give us your method of preparation, fertilization and cultivation which resulted in this crop. We wish to give the public the benefit of your experience as we think it will be an inducement to farmers to side dress their crops. Thanking you in advance for the favor of an early reply, we are, Yours truly. Anderson Phos. & Oil Co. Anderson Phosphate & Oil Co., Anderson, S. C. Gentlemen?Answering your favor of the 7th will say that after preparing the land well I put two hundred pounds of fertilizer to the acre before planting. At the second plowing I applied four hundred and fifty pounds more of fertilizer to the acre and when the first cotton blooms appeared I applied seventy pounds of nitrate of soaa | to the acre. I did this on sixty acres | of land which I planted in cotton and on the sixty acres I gathered sixtyeight bales of cofton, axeraging 511 pounds to the bale. And then, when I thought I had gathered the crop after Christmas, I picked enough cotton to make 712 pounds of lint cotton so it will be seen that altogether I made more than seventy 500-pound bales of cotton on the sixty acres. I cultivated this cotton as I usually cultivate my cotton except that it was fertilized better than usual. A good part of this fertilizer was Anderson Phosphate and Oil company fertilizer, tbe balance was other standard brands. I was never able to see any difference in the cotton fertilized by Anderson goods and the other goods. Yours truly, J. Wade Drake. Anderson, 6. CM June 4, 1909. Mr. J. E. Stevenson, Anderson, S. C.

Dear Sirs : I have your letter of June 4th, and in reply will say that my experience in side dressing corn last year was as lollows : In one field of about 15 acres which I planted in corn I side dressed 10 acres and left p five acres not side-dressed. On the 10 > acres which I side-dressed I made 35 bushels to the acre. On the five acres not side-dressed the yield was not over 10 bushels to the acre. It cost me about $30 to side dress the 10 acres; about $3 per acre. It increased the yield at least 25 bushels of corn per i acre. I Intended side dressing the : whole 15 acres but rain came on and continued so long until the corn was too far advanced bpfore I could get to j it to side dress it. It will pay any one ' handsomely to side dress corn. Yours truly, J. E. Stevenson. You will see what side dressing has , done for Wade Drake and Jim Steven! son. It will pay you as well as it did ! them if you will do the needful. Side ; dressing will pay you better than any . fertilizer you putin the grouud.
