At the approaching primary, t'e people will have an opportunity to vote for or against the reestablish went of the rural police service in Abbeviile county. That this service has been fruitful of good results in the county is with out doubt, and that it has not met the fullest expectations of the public is due to the lack of an adequate force. On many occasions when crime had been committed in the ^ county, the fact ttnrt the rural police man could be had on short notice, made the capture of offenders easy. This promptness of action has be come the dread of evil doers and to discontinue the service^ to take a step backward. While the county has had only one rural policeman for several months, he has been -active and he has brought to justice some of the wojst of lawbreakers. Mr. Bruce, like Sheriff Lyon, with whom he has worked for so long has an instinctive y * knowledge of the ways of the crimi nal, and together they have worked out many apparently haflling cases. Again, it will be recalled that though Abbeville county has been drv for KAverftl vears. 110 State con stables have been put here at the ex perse of the county. 1$ie work has been done and well done by the ru ral policeman and the Sheriff. Some , weeks ago MrJBruce located a still near Iiowndesville and single handed captured and imprisoned the owners. Only a short while previous he and Sheriff Lvon seized a distillery- near Abbeville and one near Donalds, get ting the operator at the latter place. Every few months they locate and seize an illicit liquor plant. Now it is no reflection on the Mag istrate or his constable that the rural policeman can seek out and catch of fenders that have escaped their de tection. They do not follow the po lice service as a business, have not the sources of information that the policeman has, and can not afford to give days at a time to apprehending and taking the offender. While the rural policeman may not protect the life and property of the rural resident as do the city po lice the city resident, the fact that they are within easy call, can arrest without warrant and will seek out the offender promptly and intelli gently, deters many from commit ting offenses. v The rural police .service should be continued and it should be enlarged. The man in the country who votes against it is blind to his own interest and the man in the city who has am ' pie protection for his family, is sel fish indeed if he would withhold this little protection from bis neighbor in the country. In all probability it can be shown that the rural police service is practi cally self-6U6to}ining; but granting ; 1 that a very small per cent, of the cost of the service is returned to the treasury, individual citizens have been directly profited and law and order prevail to a greater extent by reason of the service. By prompt and intelligent action on the part of Mr. Bruce, a gentleman was saved an amount equal to a third or half of the policeman's annual pay in one case in the lower part of the county, ' where there was an attempt to de fraud. There should really be two rural v, policemen ip Abbeville county; and except when they are directly en gaged on a case they should work under a published schedule, appear ing at least once a week at four or more prominent places on each side of the county. When out of Abbe ville, they should be in touch with the Sheriff at all times, so that he can direct them when any cull is lodged with hipi. If this system may not be developed at present we should at least keep on the service of one man unttl the legislature meets when systematic service can be inau gurated. AOAIN, JOJE BROWN. The Atlanta papers announce in "horse head" type that Joe Brown will run against Hoke Smith for the United States Senate. The good an gels deliver Us! Is there no respite from this Smith-Brown-Howell ran gle that has occupied the centre of the stage in Georgia for ten years? Why doesn't "Little Joe," "Joseph the Silent" retire on his inherited laurels, and give a season of rest to the people of two States ? If it were not that South Carolina her?elf might not pass the "political health officer" without a reprimand just now, the people of this State would be justified in appealing to the law for abating nuisances, to stop the Smith-Brown scramble. What is the matter with Hoke Smith, anyway, that he has such deadly political enemies in Georgia ? Outside of Tom Watson, who is more or less a crank, Smith is not only the brightest man the Statejhas produced in thirty years, but in so far as disin terested outsiders can see, he is a true jgtJ KmMHSK#? '? v \ V/f ' - . ' - ' V \ , V arfrftflfMVfiTiA'h h"" gr>ia ifTr servant of the people, faithful, able and affective as a national legislator. Why, even a small per cent, of the people of Georgia would be willing to sacrifice to factional hate the ser vices of a man who has no superior in the United States Senate, in point of ability, and who, in so far as the outsider can judge, is giving honest loyal service, is a perplexing ques tion. js noi none omun noncst Has he not always acted in fulfill ment of his obligation as a Democrat, and for the best interest of his State and the South ? Can any charge, di rect or indirect, be brought against his official integrity? What is the matter with him, that factions of his own people undertake to oust him, from whatever position he may oc cupy, with men of much less ability? It is said, for one thing, that Hoke Smith wont wear the corporation ring in his nose. But surely no hon est voter would join a movement to chastise him on this account. Geor gia, like practically all of her sister States, and the nation too, is begin ning to realize the outrages of corpo rate rule, and perhaps no Southern Democrat has done more to shake off that rule than Hoke Smith. Has he offended in this? Surely not. If there is anything in the public or pri vate life of Senator Smith that makes him unworlhv of the honors his State has conferred upon him, it should be given to the people of South Carolina, if for no better rea son, than simply to explain why a man of Smith's ability is not without opposition in his State; If the people of Georgia have learned the lesson that Northern States learned long ago, they will make changes as seldom as possible in her national representatives; pro vided they are honest and faithful. If to these prerequisites is also added great ability, as in the case of Hoke Smith, the wisdom of this policy is beyond question, and to replace him with a new and untried man would be suicidal of the interests of the people. * TO THE TOMATO CLUB MEMBERS. To County Tomato Club Members: Club requirements as to age, acre age, basis of award -and the six rules governing the Tomato and Canning Club work in the Southern States. Age 10 to 18 Years Inclusive Acreage?One- tenth acre Tomatoes. In addition club members are required to can all surplus products and arc also advised to can the otherwise waste products of home, garden and orchard. (See Farmers' bulletin 359 426-{>21) Basis of Award. 1?Quality both fresh and canned pro ducts - - 20. 2?Quality total pounds of vegetables harvested and used) - - 20. 3?Variety of canned products (dif ferent receipts used) - 20. 4?Profit on investment - - 20. 5?Written history on "How I made and used my Tomato crop" 20. / Total 100 All club members must keep an ac curate account of all items of expense receipts, observations and experiments in connection with club plat. The of ficial blanks for this report will be sent to those^ who have not already re ceived them. These blanks must be filled out with pen. For the benefit of club members, and other friends I will herewith, again, give the rcceipe for spraying tomatoes. The plants should be spray eu with Bordeaux mixture several times during the season. The first spraying should be given about the time the first fruits begin to form, or earlier if the season is warm and moist to prevent the plants being at tacked by milder. If tomatoes with a discolored brownish area about the blossom end appear in any fruit clus ter they should be carefully removed and carried out of the patch. Fruit-rot is combatted with more or less success by pruning and train ing vines to admit light and air, to gether with the destruction of all dis eased fruits, to prevent the spread o.' infection. Wilt in tomatoes must be avoided by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. Bordeaux Mixture. Is made as follows: Take one pound of lime and one pound copper sulphate (blue stone) and dissolve them sep arately in equal amounts of water, in wood or earthen vessels. After they are both in solution dilute each to six gallons, and just before the spraying ir to be dbne pour the two diluted so lutions together to form the spray mixture. If the spraying apparatus is small and only a portion bf the mix ture can be used at a time, take equal quantities from each dilution and place them in the spraying receptacle in such a manner as to thoroughly mix them. As the solutions are taken from the dilution tanks and placed in the sprayer, they should be strained through a fine wire gauze or a cheese cloth screen to remove all fine parti cles of lime which might clog the noz zle. In spraying, care should be exer cised to coat the under side of the leaves with the spray mixture as the milder usually establishes itself first on the under side of the leaves. The spray pump and nozzles should be such as to deliver a fine mist-like spray. NOTE. The spray pump can be pur chased for 50c. The Bordeaux mixture fades and discolors shoes and clothing therefore, only old things should be worn while spraying. If a spray pump is not at hand a whisk broom will an swer but will require more labor and f ' T t > / ^iljurTyiyr rtirt^ViV ^ irMfTTW gjrTTx'^j^rtjji time fof the mixture to Peach all Jjor-' tions of the plant. According to the requirements of! the Pure Food and Drug Act, three pound cans must contain 32 ounces of Tomatoes (or fruit) and 2 pound cans must contain 22 ounces of same. I have very encouraging reports from some of my youngest club mem-; hers, who are busy as bees making ap ple and blackberry jelly, jam, cherry preserves, sweet plum pickle, etc. Owing to the seven, and in some places the eleven weeks droutn, me tomato crop is very backward. It seems that other agencies beside the cut worms and the drouth have con spired to try the patience of my to mato girl farmers. The hens have scratched up several little members plants. These hens seem to be as fu rious and as mischievous as the En glish suffragettes in their destructive w ays. 'The very best thing to do with the hens is to cut off their heads, and i' too tough for roast to make a good dish of chicken salad for father and the family. Get busy girls and improve each shining hour. Do not let anything go to waste. Can everything in sight. Wtf live in hope that we will have some tomatoes to can also -if the blessed rains continue. During "The Week's Campaign for Better Schools in Abbeville County," I hope to again meet you and receive a good report from each and every one. Yours very truly, Mrs. W. 0. Cromer.
