Gst Your Why hot got 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 ex cited over the way they think that they are being robbed for these Necessities. Yet some of them go Tight 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 economies and better values that are open to every Farmer who will use^good common sense and discretion in buying Fertilizers. Xou 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 celebrated G. W. G. SOLUBLE GUANO for example. It measures right up on ac tual analysis with Guano sold by OUT competitors at much higher prices-so it is with all our brands, extra values are obtained in each without extra cost to the Farmer. Come and talk over FERTILIZERS r?th US. If you .have any trade in you we can more than give you your MONEY'S WORTH. Senses Co. G. F. GIBNILLIiT, General Manager, KEOWEE COURIER (ESTABLISHED 1840.)

Citizens of Charleston Want System Abolished from Their Midst. The following letter and oircular were received by The Courier too late for publication last week: Charleston, Dec. 27.-Editors of The Keowee Courier: Enclosed you will find a copy of an address which has been published m the Charles ton papers, and which speaks for It self. Give the same publicity in your paper if you can spare the space. I sincerely trust that you may look with favor on this movement, in be half of which thousand? of -signa tures of our people will .go up asking for relief from a law that ts highly unsatisfactory, and that does not suit conditions here. We ask our friends of the State, in considering the nubject, to endeavor to deal with it in the same way as they would like done if similarly situated them selves. Very truly, John D. Cappelmann, Chairman. Permit us through the columns of your paper to call the attention of our people to a movement to memo rialize the General Assembly of our State at the approaching session for relief from the liquor dispensary system on the lines indicated in the petitions which are now being pre sented throughout the city for signa tures, reading as follows: "To the Honorables the Senators and Representatives, the General As sembly of the State of South Caro lina, In regular session for the year 1908: The humble petition of the undersigned respectfully shows: "That the dispensary system for the ,s;i le of liquors in the county of Charleston, in said State, in which your petitioners reside, ls not de sired by a large majority of the vot . ers and residents 'of said county, as your petitioners verily believe. "That tho same is not suited to the needs, circumstances and con ditions of the people mostly affected thereby. . 'That for these reasons the said system is not supported by public sentiment, difficult to enforce, and not calculated to demand observance or respect. 'That your petitioners humbly pray that such legislation may be enacted as shall restore tho license system to this community which was of force at the time of the original enactment of the State dispensary law in the year 1892, with the modi fications required by the State Con stitution of 1895; and your petition ers feel assured that thereby will be secured, not only all the benefits that could possibly be expected from the dispensary system now in force, JUST ONE WORD that word ta lt refers to Dr. Tutt's l iver Pills and MEANS HEALTH.

Take No Substitute* but the same would operate, for the well-being and upbuilding of our peo ple." At recent conferences, in which a goodly number of our people par ticipated, the undersigned were ap pointed a committee to look after the matter ot giving the people sn opportunity to sign the petitions and then to present the same to the Gen eral Assembly through the proper channels. Firmly believing that, a large ma jority of the people of Charleston will be In sympathy with this movement, we approach the performance of our duty with confidence. 'Our confidence ls strong because in principle ou - people are at heart op posed to the liquor dispensary sys tem. In their opposition thereto they have had ready and Intelligent pub lic support from the Charleston news papers for tho past fifteen years. It ls further strengthened because we oan refer to a law-abiding and law-respecting condition whic. ob tained here for many, many ? ears before the first establishment of the dispensary system, a condition to, which wo verily believe the people of Charleston long tu be restor A, and which can afford as much reve nue as that contemplated by the dis pensary system. . This confidence Is strengthened also by the favor accorded the "home rule" doctrine In the last State elec tion. And, finally, our confidence In the people of the State ls strong that they will look into our true condition, see what is suited to our needs and circumstances, and favor our appeal through our Senator and Representa tives to the Senators and Represen tatives of our sister counties for re lief, and for the enactment ot a law that will give us peace, quiet, good order and happiness.

An old lady on her seventy-third birthday once said, "I do not mind getting old, and I do not fear death, but I live in constant dread of paral ysis." "For some time I have been want tog to tell you of the great good your wonderful Sloan's Liniment ls doing here," writes James F. Abernethy, of Rutherford College, N. C. "In fact, all your remedies are doing noble work, but your Uniment beats all. In my eight years' experience with medicine I find none to go ahead of it, having tried it In very many cases. I know of one young man, a brick mason, who suffered from a partial, yes, almost complete, paralysis of one arm. I got him to use your liniment, and now he can do as much work as ever, and he sings your praise every day. I get ail to use lt I'possibly can and know there is ?re at virtue in it. I have helped the sale of your noble remedies about here greatly, and ex pect to cause many more to buy them as I know they can't be beat." Barber Saves tho Clippings. (Philadelphia Bulletin.) The barber, as his patron arose, shook from the apron to the floor the short lurks, that he had clipped from the man's head and a boy appeared, swept up the hair and placed it care fully in a large t:\g. "Has lt got ai.y use?" asked the patron, with an interested and pleas ed smile. "Of course it has," said the barber "Would I save it otherwise?'' "But it is so short." "No matter. It has its uses." . "What is it uBed for?" said tho man. "What will become of that short hair which I have been carry ing about under my hat?" "Well," said the barber, "some of lt will go Into morta , some of lt will stuff furniture, but mos^ of it will be made Into those fine strainers which are used to clarify the best syrups. There are no strainers equal to those woven of short human hair, and for all the hair that we barbers can sup ply ii'" strainer makers w. .-p up a steady demand."

Honea Path, January 1.-A fright- : ful accident occurred at Honea Path i this morning hy which Sherard L. : Callaham, a well known merchant, < shot and killed his wife. Mr. Callaham* had started out over i his plantation and decided to carry his rifle along. The gun was in his i bed room. He had taken lt in his \ hands, and In some way, he does not \ know how, lt was discharged, the ] ball striking Mrs. Callaham in the temple. Mr. Callaham is almost erased by i the accident, and cannot tell how i the gun was fired. It had not been t used In some time. She lived but a short while, and \ never spoke after the shot was fired. 1 Mrs. Callaham was a Miss Robin- i son of the Craytonvllle section of the ; county.

A Chicago medico tells of two phy sicians in a Wisconsin town, tho one elderly, with a long record of cures, the other young, with his records still to make. The older doctor, it appear:!, was inclined to surrender some of his night work to the young er man. One bitter night in winter the veteran was aroused by two far mers from a hamlet eight miles away, the wife of one of whom was seriously ill. The doctor at once re ferred them to his young colleaugue, but they refused the latter's services. "Very well," replied tho doctor, thinking .to put a convincing argu ment before them. "In that case my fee ls $10, payable now." Whereupon there ensued a remon strance on the part of the farmers, but the doctor was obdurate. Fi nally one of the men asked the other: "Well, what do you think I ought to -do?" "I thlD'.c you'd better pay him the $10," said the other. "The funeral would cost you more than that."

At ki WRITE US A LETTES RIVER OF SAL.T WATER. Flows Inland in a Creek Island and Then Disappears. One of- the most curious phenome na of geography is found on the southern coast of the island of C*> phalonia, in Greece. It ls a stream af salt water, which for an un known period has left the almost lidiosa sea and flowed inland with a volume sufficient to furnish water power to two mills. For some gene rations the milln v?re operated hy undershot wheels which took their power from this little river of ocean water. They supplied flour to the people of the island until recently, but now they are dismantled, owing to the competition of larger and bet ter equipped mills, s The sea enters the land at four points where the coast is practically m a level with the salt water sur tace, says the New York Sun. The Four initial streams unite to form the little river, that flows Inland in a broken rocky channel until lt finally disappears in the limestone ruck and sinks into the earth. This inland flow has continued al most certainly for several centuries. It ls far too great for removal hy avaporatlon, chemical combination :>r even physical absorbtlon by pores or caverns in the,rocks. What be comes of the water that is constantly flowing inland and disappears Anally in the Assures that have opened in the limestone? The question has been the subject of much study, but no conclusive an Bwer has been given. It is probable that here is an underground channel which carries the water back into the sea at no great depth below the surface.

Except From time immemorial, says Har per^ Weekly, there has been a law in Applegate, County Warwick, Eng land, to the effect that the mayor had the best of everything In town, and for Instance, one snould say he had the best coat In the place he must add the words, "except the mayor." One day a stranger came to Apple gate and had dinner there at the inn. After paying hlb bill he said to the landlord: "I've had the best dinner in the country." The Landlord-Except the mayor. The Stranger-Except nothing. As a result the tourist was called before the magistrate and fined ten pounds for his breaking of the laws of the place. When the man had paid his fine he looked around him and said slowly, "I'm the biggest fool in the town, except the mayor." RED s on every bag. ?llano Co. ila.
