He had been sick >nly a few days and none of his riends anticipated a fatal terminaion until the end came. He was veil known in this county, where he lad many friends. He was a dealer n horses and mules and was quite successful. Hon. J. A. Sawyer, one of Union's ible members of the General Assembly, came over from Columbia Saturday, and spent several days under ;he parental roof, visiting his father, CJapt. George Sawyer.

There is an inclination on the part of some of the farmers to do with as little commercial fertilizers as possible this year. Mr. D Franklin Keisler, one of our far seeing and most successful farmers advises his brother farmers not to buy commercial fertilizers unless the price is based upon the price of cotton, but instead make as much home made manure as they possibly can. J5y doing this they will not be f >rced to sell cotton when it is low in price to 1 quidate guano bills and it will not take all they make to pay them.

Making an Aggressive Fight. Congressman Stjkes of South Carolina is Untiring and Enthusiastic in His Systematic Efforts to Equalize and Extend the Benefits of Our Postal System. Special Correspondent. He is now busily at work preparing a bill, providing that Free Delivery of mails be extended to towns under thousand population. As the i; w now stands free delivery is allowed only to towns with ten thousand population. The bill is finding much favor here and is likely to pass. He is also pressing before the committee the necessity of a further extension of the rural free delivery, and to that end is asking that the three hundred thousand dollars already appropriated under the law be supplemented by an additional appropriation of one hundred and fifty thousand, making the total appropriation this year four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Third Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath is loud in his praise of the system, and this fact, together with Congressman Stokes' aggressive fight, will give the proposition much weight in the House when it comes up. Free delivery is no longer an experiment, it is an actual necessity in our postal system. Guano. I will sell the Royal Tiger Guano for $1*2 50 per ton.
