The gathering of the horny handed in our court house on last Friday to devise ways andmeaas to down and keep down the fertil izer trust and the prices of fertil izers, was a fairly good crowd ae to numbers, and as to respecta bility and character and all that sort of thing, it was out of sight. The meeting was called to order - by P. Brooks Mayson, Esq., who is the father of the movement in Edgefield county, we believe, and upon hie motion Mr Davis Padgett was made chairman. Mr. Mayson stated that the ob ject of the meeting was to induce the fanners to use less guano than they have bean using by one-third or one-half, as much in their OWD interest as against the interest of the guano trusts. "We must get OD the record some way ae against these gigantic monopolies," said he. "It is too late now to mash the guano tiust thia year but we can give 'em a side wipe this year and next we will give 'em 'hail Colum bia, happy land.'" Greenwood, Newberry, and Abbeville counties have spoken. Men of Edgefield why stand we hero idle? Hon. Thcs. H. Rainsford, who was present more to see and hear, as he said, than to bu heard, was called upon for a talk. Mr. Rains ford-said that he had studied trusts and when a member of the legis lature had introduced a bill op posing them, which became a law. Trusts must be crushed or they will_craoh us. Hoped to see this fertilizer octopus throttled, The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Com pany owns every cuing in sight and is on the lookout for more. It might be said that one man owns it all. Capt. John R. Blocker stated that the farmers of his township (Elmwood) . had organized and adopted resolutions in regard to the increase in the price of fer I utilizers. They determined to fight the trust. He read the resolutions which were full and on the right line. He offered them for adoption, but'finally with drew them pending a full and free discussion of the situation by those present. It was his opinion that the way to whip trusts was to fight. Mr. S. A. Bruson thought the time to act was now, and that we should come to some conclusion now. Col. Jas H. Tillman was of the opinion that now was time to act. He made an eloquent address on the nature of trusts and the evil attending them. Mr. Ed. Winn said the if we are going to fight to fight now, and hit 'em in the eyeball "bim." Mr. R. S. Cheatham was doubt ful if the meeting had a right to bind people who were not present. He favored appointing another meeting. At this point Mr. W. P. Calhoun introduced the following resolu tions, which were unanimously . adopted : Resolved, first, That in order to properly organize the farmers of Edgefield county, that the chair man appoint a committee of six representative men to formulate some definite plan of action in regard to the fertilizer trust, and that said committee report at a meeting to be held in the court house at Edgefield at 12 m., on sales day in February, 1900 and that each township be requested to organize, and send delegates to said meeting. Resolved, Second, that the far mers of Edgefield county are urged not to buy any guano at the prices till after said meeting in February, next. Resolved, third, That the fai mers of Edgefield county are oppos ed to trusts, and especially to thc fertilizer trust a id the present in crease of the price of fertilizers. The chairman appointed the following committee under the foregoing resolutions: Wm. P. Calhoun, Thomas H. Rains ford P. H. Bussey, Luther Reese, Ed. Winn and John R. Blocker. This committee will meet on Thursday, Feb. 1st, in the law office of Thur mond & Calhoun. ?! $1.50 ANTI FAT BELT IW?l.RO we fuml*h the celebrated BROWN'S AE MuUNAL BELT for the care of CORPULENCY.

On Monday, tho-TiouRe spent nearly all its time in debating the bill amending the law relating to the extension of the limits of cities and towns, and then action was postponed till Tuesday. The senate discussed an amend ment to the pension law, which was defeated. A number of local bills passed third reading, one of which empow ers York county to build a birdge, over Catawba river. A bill passed third reading mak ing ita misdemeanor to tamper with or injure water works, sewers, or drains cf cities and towns. The judiciary committee report ed unfavorably on Senator Appel t's local option bill. ; ~ A bill inteiided to prevent riola toi s of law from being tried'for the same offense by both municipal and state couts was rejected. Senator Blaken?y introduced a bill authorizing the use of the Chesterfield chaingang on Chester field &ud Lancaster railroad. On Tuesday, after long discussion of Mr. Ashley's bill to reduce the privilege tax on fertilizers to 10 cents, the house compromised on 15 cents. Mr. Patton's bill relative to ex tension of city limits waB killed. A bill requiring magistrates, when committing a prisoner for a bailable offence, to state on the commitment the amount of bond required, and when this is furnish ed he may be . released by any magistrate in the county, who shall take his recognizance without ex tra charge, pat sed second reading. A bill passed second reading forbidding any municipal officer ta&ing contracts for work or to furnish material for the corpora tion, or to receive remuneration on such contract. lu the senate, very little was done. Mr. Means' house bill, rela relative to re-insurance otherwise than through resident agents, passed third reading. On Wednesday, in the hous9, the bill reducing fertilizer privilege tax to 15 cents, also those relating to the granting of bail by magistrates, and forbidding municipal officers to contract for work for the corporation passed third reading. The bill io salary County offi cers waB referred to a special Com mittee. A bill relating to life insurance policies passed second reading It requires life insurance com panies to give the insurer the bene fit of the reserve due on lapsed polices. A good law, and should be enacted by our legislators. In the House the bill prohibiting j the sale of cigarettes was killed, and the dudes can go on now smoking to their hearts content and killing themselves too-with out let or hindrance. Why sensible people can mai ni fest a desire ta legislate in behalf of a "cigarette dude" is beyond our comprehension. The Marshall child labor bill brought out a debate full of in terest, much sentiment being ex pressed in favor of the unfortunate children. On the other hand, a practical view was taken and it was denied that children were oppressed, and it was held that ?nch legislation now would be i a jurions to the manufacturing interests of the state. The bill was finally rejected by a vote of 29 to 8. Those voting in the negative were Senators Aldrich, Appelt, Archer, Brown, W. A^Ildor ton, Marshall, Ragsdale, Tal bird The dispensary bell or bills was discussed in the Senate but nothing was done. ? On Thursday, in the Senate, the morning hour was devoted to the discussion of educational bills. One was by Senator Graber, provid ing for a six-months' term, which involved a redistribution of the dispensary school fund, and the other was Senator Brown's com DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?

Both were rejected by the Senate. . Senator Graber B bill fixing the school term?of the publio schools at six months, and requiring that the dispensary school fund should be so distributed that $150 should be given to each school was the special order for the morning. Senator Graydon opposed the bill on the ground that it was unjust, in that the dispensary fund would go largely to those counties which have no dispensaries. Senator Mayfield also opposed the bill. Under the ororations of the fund Charleston dc >'f. get cent of the fund His c ty paid in about.$4,000 and got L $168, If we are to be robbed at 1, he said, then take it all. Dib., sary profits should go into into the treasuries of those counties which pay them. Mr Gruber held that the Con stitution is mandatory as to the distribution of the dispensary school fund. He held that the State was practically making no progress in education. Notwith standing the number of colleges thereis a lack of material for them and with two exceptions there is not a college which does does not 6end out agents yearly to secure students. This shows that someth ing is radically wrong. The diffi culty lies with tho common school system. Senator Hay opposed the bill, holding that the present law is better than the proposed bill. On Mr Graydou's motion to strike out the enacting words the result was 37 to 7 and the bill was rejected. The next bill was also an educa tional measure, beiug Senator Brown's compulsory educational bill. The bill, he saiJ, was desiga ed to meet the needs of the poor and ignorant children. The State should educate her children for herself. Nothing short of eight weeks at school, as provid ed in this bill, will meet condi tions.

But the child has rights as well as the parents and one of the child's rights is to receive an education. The law protects the child against bodily injury. Ie it not more its duty to brotect its mind? The evil or indifference on part of parents can only be overcome by State com pulsory education. There is noth ing undemocratic about, it. It carries out a principle of our Government. The idea has been endorsed by all leading educators Thirty-two out of the forty-five States have tried it. It is the law in the City of Charleston now, he asserted. j Senator Blakeney said that there was a race question in this measure. It wouid give the negroes a far lager proportion of the 6chool fund than they are entitled to when the amount of taxes they pay is con sidered. Senator Barnwell expressed thp view that compulsory education waa coming in this State. Every civilized country has it. England has it as well as Germany. But the question is whether our people now are ready for such a law. Just as soon as the State is ready for it the law will be adopted. But at present he would not vote for the bill. Senator Sarratt moved to shrike out the enacting words, resulting in the rejection of the bill by a vote of 31 to 7. In the House Mr. N. G. Evans introduced a bili providing for the sale of the " South Corolina and Georgia Railroad, now a part of the Southern railway system by lease, contrary to law. Ou Saturday in the Senate ooly second reading bills were consider ed, a large number having accumulated on the calendar. A bill to extend the lieu of land lords on the croppers' share of the crops until a final settlement was had occupied two hours of debate and was finally killed. Majority and minority reports were made on the resolution to investigate the dispensary. Sena tor Henderson' reported for the majority and Senator Mayfield against. ? . . Appelt's local option bill had two repoi ts also. The committee is equally divided, standing six to six for and against. In the bouse Senator Marshall's factory operatives and street car employees liability bill was killed. Ii proposed to. put them on the same plane as railway employees.

These germs ire very small but their work is leadly. Still many of them are ;ompaiatively harmless in health ; mt as soon as an organ is diseased t is attacked. The" experimets >f Koch and others have shed much ight upon this important subject But up to the present time the ?ulture of bacteria appears to have net with much better sucoess than ;hei . destruction. As we can do 30 little to destroy these minute memies, is not the most sensible :ourse to strengthen and revitalize the system so that it may repel md resipt their destructive in fluence, and does it not seem very fitting that the ^vitalizing element should enter the body through inhalation of ozgen which is at once a revitalizer and germicide?
