Scores of; tons of f.guirio are

constant stream of wag?ns to ana
from t??wn.' However, in view of
the fact that the making of barn
yard manures has become a "lost
art," and. of the ? further fact that
"nearly all of the cot o ? seed aie
' . sold, it ie well that commercial
fertilize rs are being liberally used, j
The red hills should not longer be
impoverished. At least as n.uch
plaut food should be returned to
-the'soil every spring as has been
taken from it by the crop of the
-.preceding y ear. The hauling of the
cotton ee?d "from the farms isa
very heavy drain, and the money
that is realized- from the sale of
the seed,.if no more, should be in
vested in fertilizers. This alone
?WQ?ld amount to something like
'from two to six dollars per acre.
When discreetly used a liberal
application of commercial fertili
zers always pays.

Dr. Taylor's Lectures.
The five lectures delivered by
Dr. E. 0. Taylor upon Temper
ance and Christian Citizenship
were the able st, moBt concise,- moBt
!ogicairtho8t forceful,*mpst^TO
vincing utterances . ever delivered
before Edgefield audiences.
The key position taken by-Dr.
Taylor in his lecture was that
. alcohol,- which is. the essential
property of all alcoholic liquors
and the only thing in them for
which men drink them, is the ex
crement of the yeast microbe,
otherwise called "bacteriological
bug juice" and-is a poison and
- nota^fpod i :that ?s a poisou it is
hoth a narcotic and an irritant,
that as a narcotic it is in the
clas?ificalion with opium, mor
phine, chloral and cocaine, and
that therefore it should be put to
-such uses only" as are suited to
its nature, and be legislated upon
with as much care and restriction
as are exercised concert *ng the
drugs with which it is properly
classified. This, be affirms, is the
only solution of the liquor prob
lem, because it. is thoroughly sci
entific and incontrovertible.
JFrom this point of view he
reached the following conclusions :
"1. There isTno?more .reason in
modern'science for the'.beverag?
use of alcoholic- liquor than for
the beverage..<?se of opium, mor
phine or cocaine. * * '**
"2. The appetite for liquor is as
abnormal, unscientific and in
excusable as is theappetite- of the
morphine fiend.
;"3. The moderate use of alcohol
ie as~uuaafo in begetting an un
controllable appetite as the moder
ate use of. cocaine in Coca (Va,
which Dr. Taylor declared" the
courts have called in question a*
a safe beverage, although only one
four-bundre"dth O(\JL grain of co
caine was used, in . every glass, of
Cooa Cola. .
"4. There is ro reasou in mod
ern ecience for the legalization of
the sale of liquor for beverage
purposes than for the legalization
for the same purpose of morphine.
"5. A saloon OT; dispensary is,
therefore, as mach out of place in
modern civiliza-ion as would be
sn opium joint or a coccine den.
" The pol i cy of.,- rogu 1 ati on by
taxation of the 'liquor traffic and
" the use of this monev for civic
purposes is as unworthy of in-B
tell igen t peoplp j?s would be a
similar policy if the drug in ques
tion were cf caine.
"7. The common argument, viz:
*They will have it anyhow and
therefore let's get some money out ;
of it to lesnen taxes' is as c in
tern pt i b'e as would be the samel
argument coi cerning morphine, j
"81 The violator of a prohibition |
liquor laivisas much of acriminn1,1
drserviirg^punishment, as wcu'd
. be the seller *>f morphine or co
caine toi a miserable slave tn either
of ?hose drugs--known as a fiend..
;,*9. The sentiment of a commu
nity should be as intelligent and
"strong in enforcm"g:prohibition i.f.
^be efile of liquor, as for the en
forcement of any drug law.
"10. The p'os^cuUon bf offnnd.T
ers for violating l'quor laws is ap
justifiable and necessary for the
protection ?fvbe homes^of con*
munity as is' the ' prosecution of
offenders of other . laws prohibit
ing the sa'e of poisons."'

J. .pear Advertiser : Doubtless you
wiil^be" surprised at receiving a
letter irom nv. Thinking that
your readers would enjoy hearing
something about Southern Cali
fornia, the touriste' Paradis*, I
decided to write. Mr. LeSueur and
I left Atlanta December the 4tb,
for New Orleans. After spending
a'day and night there we departed
over the Southern Pacific for our
trip-across the continent. Our
next- stop of importance was at
San Antonia and El Paso, Tex.,
two beautiful and up-to-date cit
ies! After leaving El Paso we
crossed the Rio Grand river which
brought us iu New Mexico. We
were, a day and a half crossing the
desert, but did not find it Un
pleasant ra the track was oiled
most of the way which Kept the
dust down.. The Southern Pacific
uses oil fue! locomotives from
New Orleans to San Francisco
and th^re is a complete absenc
of smoke and cinders, no expense
being spared to make the track
smooth and easy.
Picturesque Bridge.
We crossed- the third highes!
and longest, bridge in the wi lld
which spans the Picos River. It is
au object of interest being 321
feet from thc rail to tho surface
of the water. The conductor bad
the tram stopped on the bridge
aud invited passengers to get out.
Quite a number accepted the invi
tation He tbietv a.large t-to^e, in
the River and btfore it reached
the water it looked like a scaall
pebble. The coaches, sleepers din
ing and observation cars are
equipped with Pintsch gas which
makes it possible toread comfort
ably at night. The Sunset Express
carries haudsomeand well equip
ped dini g cars, and supplu s every
delicacy. The cooking is simply
delightful, but let me remind you
that they know how to charge.
Snow-Capped Peaks.
We~pa86ed many pretty tuwns
in New Mexico and Arizona, also
many Mexican villages with
very unattractive bouses built ot'
adobe and thatch. In Arizona we
passed, quite a number of tent
sanatoriums for tuberculosis. They
seemed very contented. Tucson
and Yuma are winter resorts.
After leaving the- latter place, we
crossed tho Colorado River which
?r^u^h^ujjir^^?foroia. Friday
.afternoon we saw t?e^nrsT^u?w^
capped mountains of the Sierra
Madra range, the chain remaining
in view until we reached Los Au
gelefl'. The scenery in many places
along the route was graud. Saw
one volcanic noun tain aud two
which had been worked for gold.
Encountered a Sand Storm.
Our average runningjtime was 40
mile3 an hour which were reeled
off without a mishap of any kiud
until within 50 miles of Los An
geles, where we encountered a sand
storm. I had read how dreadful
they were. Of course this was my
first experience, one I was glad
to have, as our only injury was
a broken glass in the door to our
sleoper. All the wiudows have
double sash, therefore, very little
dust can sift iu. Could not sae
five feet from the window, had to
telegraph to ihe city for snow
plows to clear the track, were laid
out over two hours. After the
storm subsided enough for us to
resume travel we passed beautiful
towns and large orange, lemon,
olive and English walnut farmB
which are beautifully kept. Pass
ed one vineyard of 3,000 acres; all
"vines are pruued to 24- feet from
the ground and bear well. Saw one
bunch a few weeks ago which
weighed 1J? pouuds.
Arrived at Los Angeles.
Ou arriving at Los Angeles wt
stopped at the M?llenbeck Holei
which is very centrally located, it
?B beau'ifuliy arranged on the
giouud floor. Adjoining the office
is a large court in which attract
ive palms and ferns of different
varieties- are placed arouud in
lovely jardiniers, Hwingiug baskets
and vases of cut 'flowers. Rockers
aud large easy chairs are provided
so their guests can be comlortable
aud read. Adjoining this is a re
ception room for ladies, which is
beautifully furnished; have six
writiug desks for their conveni
ence, can asbure you they are weh
patronized. When wo returned tu
our room Sunday afternoon found
on my dretscr a v."io containg two
dozen Carnation pinks w11 u a
card containing "Complimenta ol
M?llenbeck Hotel."
