* Money's Worth. Why not get your "Money's Worth" when you buy Fertilizers? . People kick about the price of Corn-struggle for reduction in the price of Flour and grow excited over the way they think that they are being robbed for these necessities. Yet some of them go right ahead paying two or three dollars" per ton more for their Fertilizers than the actual analysis of the goods will warrant. Too many of us struggle for reductions that are hard to secure, and often ignore the economics and better values that arc open to every Farmer who will use good common sense and discretion in buying Fertilizers? You can surely save a considerable percentage of your money, and you can secure much more satisfaction in your farm work if you will only buy your Fertilizers right. Take our edel *~**d G. W. G. Soluble Guano for example? It measures right up on actual analysis with Guano sold by our competitors at much higher prices-so it is with all our brands, extr*a values are obtained in each without extra cost to the Farmer. Come and talk over Fertilizers with us. If you have any trade in you we can more than give you your money's worth. Seneca Fertilizer G. % Gipilliat, General Manager. RUTHLESS DE&TRUC Why the Holy Land, Milk ?nd Honey," Is It has always been a matter of sad conjecture to the visitor to the Holy Land why the sscred scenes of Bible history are now desolate ; why the fertile hills snd valleys where our Saviour taught are barren wastes ; why tho rich plains and endless groves of olive and fig trees of the days of Abraham, Moses and the Old Testament heroes are a hopeless desert to-day. But the explanation of all this has been recently figured ont and laid before an International Congress of Scientists at Milan, and, incidentally, a ?yarning sounded that the rioh agri cultural land of Amerioa is threat ened with the same fate. The ?ecret of it all lies in the ruthless destruc tion of the forests. When the trees began to disappear in icient Pales tine then began the ruin of the land. Studying the purposes of forests in nature, soienoe is able to see why the fertility of the land ends when the forest growth is destroyed. The physioal conditions of forest land were found to be suoh that, owing to the shelter |from sun and wind, the atmosphere is |generally colder and damper than in the open country, and evaporation consequently less. It is calculated that a hectare of forest land (2? aores) gives off every day 37 onbio yards of oxygen and 87 yards of |oarbonio aoid, leading to a great expenditure of heat ; and that from every hectare of forest land sufficient heat is abstracted to melt 316 onbio yards of ice. Ligneous plants also withdraw from the ground and discharge as vapor more than -10,000 gallons of water per aore per day, which causes a sensible reduc tion of temperature. When clouds pass over a forest they encounter a cool, damp atmosphere, the point of saturation comes oloser, and rain is caused. This condition of forest land has been remarked on by aero nauts, who find that a balloon is in variably affected, and drops when passing over forests. 0 The advantages claimed for forests with regard to water supply are that the trees act as regulators of the rain fall ; that the average quantity of rain falling] on land covered with forests is greater than in the open ground to the extent of about one sixth ; that it holds up tho water for a time and discharges it later on when water is most required in river basins, the rain being held back by the leaves of the trees and coming to tho ground more gradually ; tho rain that falls on tho surface is also taken up by the layer of dead leaves on the ground, which permits of a gradual percolation to the subsoil. Observations show that in summer the ground of the forest ?3 damper than that of tho adjacent cloared land, and snow remains for a, much longer period in |forest land before melting than in cleared land. As the result of many years' ob servations, it has been found that the maximum level of underground water is reached in May, that the water accumulates in the ground from August to January, and that the rivers are supplied by this reserve, and were it not for this accumulation many brooks and river feeders would cease to flow in summer. Several very striking examples are mON OF FORESTS. Once " Flowing With Now a Sterile Desert. given by the antara of the papers as to the deleterious effect of cutting down forests, especially in hilly dis tricts. In the commune of La Bru guiere the forests on the slopes of the Black Mountains were cut down ; the oonsequenoe of this removal of the trees was that a brook ran at the foot, and the water from whioh was used for driving some fulling mills, became so dried up iu summer as to no longer be of any use, while in winter the sudden floods caused very great damage in the valley. The forests were replanted, and as the trees grew up the water coming to the brook was so regulated as to serve its former useful ptirpose in driving the mills, and the torrents in winter were moderated. Several other examples of a similar character are given. In Switzerland, among other ex amples ?B quoted one that occurred in the canton of Berne, where, owing to the replanting of the mountain side with fir trees, the water again appeared at a spring whioh had ceased to flow. After a period the trees were out down and the land converted into pasturage, since when only opening out at occasional inter vals.-Maxwell's Talisman. Hives Health, Tilter and Tone.

Ku'. With remarkable recuperative powers for so frail a body, he fought off the grim reaper, and rallied. He became very much better and was able to sit up part of the time. The disease was slowly, but surely, un dermining his constitution, however, and Monday bis loved ones and the attending physician saw that the end was not far away. On Tuesday his children in At lanta were summoned. Logan and HaralsoD Bleokley, his two sons, has tened to his bedside Tuesday even ing. They arrived to find their father very near to death. His final hours were peaceful, and he went out without fear or pain. About his dying bed were gathered his wife and children. At 6.45 his great heart ceased to beat. In 1857 Judge Bleokley married Miss Caroline Haralson, of Newton county. From this marriage the fol lowing children survive him : Logan Harrison and Mrs. Hugh Culberson, all of Atlanta. His first wife having died some twenty years ago, fifteen years ago he married Miss Clorie Herring, of New York, and from this marriage the following children survive him : Edwin, Harnell, Herrin and Sidney. Judge Bleokley served as a private in the Confederate army for a short time, but on account of poor health was forced to ask for his discharge. In 1864 be was appointed Supreme Court reporter. After reporting the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth Geor gia reports, he resigned the position, again taking up the practice of iaw in Atlanta. In 1875 he was ap pointed to the Supreme Court bench and remained in this position until 1880, when he resigned, as the judge expressed it, "worn down and tired out."

Editor? Keowee Courier : 1 left the lovely town of Walhalla on Febru ary 26th for a little rest and recrea tion, my destination being Granite ville, S. C., to attend the Wright and Peeler marriage, which happy event occurred on Thursday even ing, February 28tb, 1907, at the home of the bride's father, Rev. J. N. Wright. The contracting parties were Rev. Chas. M. Peeler, from near Salisbury, N. C., and Miss Delia Wright, of Orangeville, S. C. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. Bascombe Browne, assisted by Rev. J. N. Wright, father of the bride and pastor of the M. E. ohuroh where the ceremony was performed. The decorations were very elaborate and exquisitely beautiful. The pul pit or rostrum formed a very tiny hillock or mound of beautiful ferns and southern stnylax, whioh com pletely concealed the organ and or ganist. Suspended from the ceiling to either wing of the ohuroh were festooned huge garlands of feathery cedar ; suspended also from the ceiling was the large bell, composed of white orepe tissue, the dapper of which was formed by a large bow of white satin ribbon. At the first tones of Mendelssohn's wedding maroh the bum of voices ceased and down the main entrance of the ohuroh came, with measured tread, two ushers, Messrs. Willie Oreen and Paul Moore, followed by Jesse Stan field and James Quimby ; thou Miss Mae Walker, of Augusta, on the arm of Angus Brabham, of Augusta, Qa., followed by Miss Sadie Bell with Dr. Walter D. Wright ; then Miss Juanita KimBey, of Bamberg, with Will Bell ; from the left wing of the ohuroh, with the Maid of Honor, Miss Lillian Keister, of Karin ville, Va., oame the bride, and from the right wing came the groom on the arm of his best man, Coke Wright, brother of the bride. Dur ing the oeremony soft, sweet strains of musio by Mrs. Dr. Wright caused the occasion to seem like a pleasant dream. The bride's dress was of white net, over white silk. The long veil, whioh extended to the edge of the slight train of the dross, was caught with a spray of lilies of Most people kn been sick they nee sion to bring back But the strongest \ Etnu'ts?n is that ; sick to get results fro It keeps up the athl on thin people, makes brings color to a pale j vents coughs, colds an< Food in concentr?t well, young and old, ri< And it contains no i ALL DRUGGISTS s 6<O>?>fr?>O?O0?OO the valley. The bridesmaids were gowned in pure white-two with pink and two with emerald girdles. The immediate family and the at tendants enjoyed a splendid supper at the parsonage, which was illumi nated by Chinese lanterns, whichj^ shed their soft lights over ferns and pot plants about the home. The many beautiful and useful presente received by the bride show her popularity and esteem of her many friends. Mrs. Peeler is thoroughly fitted for her position as a minister's wife, as she is the daughter of Rev. J. N. Wright, who once resided in Ooonee county for four years ; was pastor in charge of the Walhalla Cirouil and lived on the waters of ConneroBS Creek, near Poor Moun tain, and is very pleasantly remem bered as living for a time in Wal hslla, where his ohildren went to school.
