Why not get your "Money's Worth" when you buy Fertilizers I People kick abo-it the price of Ooite^truggle for reduction, in the price of <*iour and grew ex cited over the way they i-aink that they are being robbed for these necessities. Yet some of thom 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 ore 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. You can surely cave a considerable percentage of your money, and you cai. 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 om- brande, extra values are obtained in.each without extra cost to the Farmer. Come and talk over FERTILIZERS with US. If you have any trade in ^ou we can more than give you your MONEY'S WORTH. Seneca Co. G. i. rnmm, General Manager. KEOWEE COURIER (ESTABLISHED 1849.)

First Violator of Law Gets Sentence V of Cool Thousand. Athens, Ga., Jan. 12.-r-The first case of violation of the State prohi bition law in this county, and the first of its kind In tho State of Geor gia, was tried before Judge Howell Cobb, of the Athens city court on the 7th. Anson Huggins, a young white man, of splendid appearance, was the defendant. He represents the firm of E.. B. Gibson, of Chattanoo ga, Tenn., and the charge was that on January 3, at the Central of ->eorgia depot, in this city, the same being a public place, he gave away several samples of liquor as well as distributed advertising matter. After hearing all the evidence Judge Cobb reviewed the prohibi tion lay of the State. He said that the dry counties, under the old law, had been flooded by the liquor deal ers In the wet counties until the people rose up and enacted the State law, and that now lt appears that ii rm;! outside of the'State were at tempting to nullify the sentiment of the people of the State on this sub ject. Consequently he would impose thc maximum sentence of the law, less the service iii jail or ehaln gang, and the fine was placed at $1,000.

HI9TX)RIO TOXAWAY. Occurrences of the Long Ago-A Pro gressive Section of the County. - Prattler's Bridge, Jan. 8-Special: Peace sud quiet prevails in this sec tion. The people arc prosperous and happy, and have hog and hominy in abundance. ? It was my pleasure a few days ago to visit J. F. Stewart and family on Toxaway, where I was royally en tertained by Mr. Stewart and family. I met A. B. Stewart who has return ed from the West, and Miss Adla Wiley and Miss Geraldine Hughs, of Richland, both teachers of ripe in telligence. Miss Hughs is the teacher of the Toxaway Behool, and has been for several terms, and gives general satisfaction. Miss Hughs ls teaching near the historical home of the Hughs' Horse Shoe, the home of her father and grandfather. People of honored nativity in war and peace have lived in the Tox away va'.Yy and along the banks of its crystal waters. Toxaway 1B an Indian name of a creek and valley. The valley ls populated by some of the best farmers and citizens In up per South Carolina. On the farm of James Pool the Baxters were killed by a negro in 1860-John Baxter, a son and daughter. The negro was caught in Gilmer county, Georgia, and was hanged at Cross Roads, near Madison, on a blackgum tree. The tree is still standing by the side-pf the road, and ls noticed by many people John Baxter was killed by his own negro, whom he bought from Harrison Riley, of Dahlonega, Ga. Toxaway Valley bas produced many great men and valiant soldiers -the Pools, Maxwells, Adamses, Den ions and Strlbllngs, and ls now in habited by many good citizens. Good farms and residences are on- every hand. The most costly residence ls that of R. B. Collins, just completed at a cost of $1,800. Success to The Courier, its editors and its numerous readers.

Your Passing Shadow ? i. 11 11. THE 8. O. PYTHIAN. It ta In Trouble with the Post Office Department. (Anderson Mall.) The South Carolina Pythian, the Journal established by the Orand Lodge of Knights of Pythias at the meeting in Anderson last May, and which has been published monthly ever since, is In trouble with the post office department and may be temporarily suspended. It is possi ble that the Buspt .sion will - be per manent. The Grand Lodge levied an assess ment of 25 cents on each member of the order in the State for the sup pr rt if the Pythian, and ordered the papei sent to each member without further cost. The post office de partment lins ruled this ls not a bona fide subscription list and that the paper ls not, therefore, entitled to the newspaper postage rates. The publishers of the paper say they can not afford to pay the higher postage rates demanded by the post office de partment, which, would be one cent per copy for each issue. Grand Chancellor M. L. Smith called a meeting of the Grand Lodge officers In Columbia a few days ago to discuss the matter, but a quorum was not present, and no action was taken. It is not known what will be done, but lt 1B thought that the next move will be that an effort will be made to get the post office de partment to modify its ruling and allow The Pythian the same postage rates that are allowed regular news papers. If this ls not done there may not be another issue of the pa per until after the Grand Lodgei meets again and takes action. Pointed Paragraphs. (Prom the Chicago News.)

In the northwest part of our coun try there lives a well known Irish magistrate. A. man of liberal edu cation and full quota of genuine wit. A short time ago Jim and Bet, a colored pair, called upon the 'squire to be united for better or worse. The 'squire having been notified of their coming, prepared and aotually used the following ceremony: "Jim, will you take Bet, Without any regret, To love and cherish, Till one of you perish, And is laid under the sod, So help you Ood." All being answered in the affirma tive by Jim, the 'squire turnod to Bet and said : "Bet, will you take Jim, And cling to him, Both out and in, Through thick and thin, Holding him to your heart, Till death do you part. Bet acquiesced by a modest bow of the head, and now the happy pair was dismissed as follows: "Through life, alternate Joy and strife, I now pronounce you man and wife1 Oo up life's hill till you get to thc level, And salute your bride you black rus ty devil."

Long Terms In that Body a Compara tively New Fashion. Vviiiiiuu Boyd A "ninon, of Iowa, has been in Congress forty-two years, ever since the second inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, says the Boston Globe. Fe; thirty-four years he has been a Senator and now he an nounces himself as ready to receive a seventh term. Already his record of senatorial service ls unequaled, and if he shall serve out another term he will have held his seat for forty-two years and been in Congress a full half century. The Increasing tendency to con tinue old men In the Senate ls a re markable development of our poli tics. It is surely not due to the soft ness of the berth. The Senate ls the most Influential and the hardest working legislative body In the coun try; in either respect lt has few equals In the world. Yet the men In lt who have passed middle age must constitute nearly half ot ita member ship. There are fourteen who are more than three-score and ten and halt a dozen of these are about 76. Five of the twelve Senators from New Eng land are septuagenarians. At least twenty members have served more than two terms. Half of the New England Senators are In that favored class. Long terms In the Senate of the United States are a comparatively new fashion. They are rare In the first half of the 19th century. The name of Thomas H. Benton suggests a striking exception to the rule In those earlier days, for he sat In the Senate thirty years. The truth ls that a seat there was not so much coveted then as now. Men resigned it lightly. With three exceptions-Strong, Pickering and) Vinnum-no Massachusetts Senator until Webster served the length pt one term. George Cabot and Samuel Dexter resigned from the Senate to accept cabinet places, and Harrison Gray Otis-threw up his place even to bo mayor of Boston. John Quincy Ad ams was so Insulted when the Legis lature Indicated Its preference for another as his successor that he re fused to serve out his term. Benja min Ooodhue, Dwight Foster and El Porter Ashmun resigned for no pub Ile reason whatever. James Lloyd, who was twice elected, resigned each time before completing his six years. When Webster had served four teen years he retired to enter Harri son's cabinet. Being re-elected, he 'again retired after five years to ac jcept a place in Fillmore's cabinet. I Hoar's tventy-seven years and Sumner's twenty-three In the Senate gave them the record from Massa chusetts, and each served until death. Wilson, had served eighteen years whon he left to be Vice President. Dawes, at the end of eighteen years, was forced out and his seat was taken by Mr. Lodge, who has now been In fourteen years.
