IS THF REST COHN STATE. Pays Tribute to the Commonwealth Which Holds Many Records. Washington, March M.-Dr. H. T. Galoway, chief of Hie bureau of plant industry of Hie Department of Agri culture, the foremost authority on the subject lu the country, says that South Carolina is tho best corn-grow ing State in the Union. So the Doc tor told Representative Johnson a short while ago. "Other States pro duce more corn than South Carolina, it is true," says Mr. Johnson, "but what Dr. Galoway meant was that In all the great corn contests tho con testants in South Carolina produced more corn to the acre than those of any other State, not excepting the great corn States of the Middle West." Mr. Johnson ls himself a student of corn, and he has got some good and useful points of late from tho agricultural department. Ile says lt is better in growing corn to select seeds in the locality In which the corn is grown. "Better results can bo secured by using our own corn, which ls cllma tized, than could be gotten from seed sent from other localities," said he. "The Minter corn ls a very lino pro lific. The Baldwin corn, which ls ex tensively grown in Spartanburg county, and probably In Union, ls one of the b*?st varieties I have ever soon." Senator Money declared in the Senate one day last week that the Southern section of the country has really just begun its career as an ag ricultural section, and that he knew of lands, which a few years ago were considered worthless, which have re. cently boen made to yield about $36 an acre, net, planted In corn. Accidents will happen, but the best regulated families keep Dr. Thomas' Eclectic Oil for such emergencies. It subdues the pain and heals the hurts. Paul li.

Editor Courier: I seo that Repre sentative Mann ls scraping the earth and throwing dirt over his back In last week's paper-all on account of the predicament he has placed him self in. He has digged the hole Into which he has fallon. After beginning to squirt his mud -of which ho must contain an abundance-he makes an effort to shift tho responsibility. If it wa* hot intended to make a malicious at tack upon me. why should he uso such words as "downright eussod ness In him," "foolishness," etc. I think this is enough to convince any fair-minded person that he not only began the controversy, but it was wanton and malicious; hence I think the public will pardon mo for de fending the truth. There ls nothing but quibbling over words In tho quotation since he does not attempt to show that they were intended in any other way but offensive toward me. Mr. Mann said in his article, "He cannot have anything passed lu the Senate," * * * Now, let us see how this comports with the truth, and I shall have to beg your Indulgence while I read from tho record. We will take up some bills ol' 1909 and see: A bill lo prevent pollution of streams: Passed the Senate, died lu the House. A bill to provide for Inspection of oils: Passed the Senate, died In tho House. A bill requiring common carriers to trace freight: Passed both Houses, and rat Hied 19 10. A bill to prevent unfair discrimi nation. The purpose ol' this bill was to prevent the Standard Oil Com pany from selling oil lu some towns and cities at ten cents or less and at fourteen cents in others: Passed both Houses and became law. A bill to provide for reimburse ment In cases of larceny, when tho felon was convicted: Killed In the Senate. A bill lo provide for a house of correction. This provided that the County Commissioners may provide such house lu connection with the poor farm, for female convicts, in stead of conllnlng them in the coun ty jail: Passed the Senate, died in tile House. A bill lo require locomotive en gines thal pull trains to bc equipped with electric, headlights: This was not passed in the Senate beeauso a similar bill caine from the House, and on account of lack ol' time died on the calendar. A bill lo require a full train crew. These las? two were introduced at the request ol' the railway employees, and because of the same subject and other matters being under consider ation with tho railway authorities thc latter was withdrawn at tho re quest of the legislative committee. A bill to allow thc settlement of all damages arising out of tho same facts to be recovered In case? for tho recovery of personal property: Pass ed both Houses and became law. A bill to cut down the State printing: Passed the Senate, died in the Mouse. The ostlmato for State printing ls $23,500, about two thirds of which is reprint and use less. A bill to allow counterclaims, credits, etc., in cases for the recovery of personal property, and In case n mortgagor shall pay the balance found due that discharges the n * gage: Passed both Houses and be came law. A bill for the sale of the State farms and to require the convict la bor to be used la the manufacture of fertilizers: Died in the Senate com mittee. A bill to reduce the fee of Audi tors from 25c. tc .0c; killed In Ibo Senate. A bill to require all passenger trains to stop at all cities and towns of more than one thousand popula tion: Killed In the Senate. A joint resolution to authorize the Attorney General to bring suit against the owners of the Augusta dam across Savannah river to com pel them to comply with the terms of the grant: A similar resolution by Mr. Rucker, of tho House, passed. Now stop a moment, preacher, and just stand up by this and see now high you are. Let the people know yes, lei them know. My record as a public servant ls writ. Yes, 1 nm willing to assume the responsibility of killing the little billy that causes you such enormous bovine tears. My bill failed , too, simply because Representative Mann was the only ono In tho House to ob ject to Its consideration. His attempts to bo funny remind one of tho fellow who was asked what ought lo be done with a man that would do so and so? "Well, I just think he ought to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I would like to he tho one to do lt." Well, tho preacher says, "If I could buy Mr. Earle for his real value and then sell him for what he thinks he ls worth I would never think of running for Congress." Yes, 1 am not for sale, even If the preacher ls so self-conceited as to seriously think of going to Congress. I am possessed of very lilt le of this world's goods, but the paltry seven and a half thousand that some one will got who warms a seat in Congress ls no consideration for ino. Hut ls lt tho thirty pieces that charm his eye? Is ho willing to leave the high calling-a call that ho by mistake, or for tho hope of an easily gotten living, answered-foi' tho sako of money?

What is the truth about the tax levy? 1 was Informed by the chair man of the finance committee that Hie appropriations would require an increase In the State levy of one-half of one mill. It waa 5 V* mills Inst year, hence it would be 5% this year. 1 will state that the journals ol' the last day of the session usually make a good size book, and 1 have not received one to quote from. That i.; why I quote the chairman of the finance committee. Mr. Sullivan and 1 conferred a number of times in ref erence to conni y matters, anil we agreed on making the levy the same as last year, for the county, because the County Supervisor asked for the same. We did not want to give them more than they were asking. Here ls the record: "Oconee County: For the county of Oconee, for ordinary county pur poses, three mills; for roads, bridges and ferries, three mills; for interest on the county bonds, one half of one mill; for sinking fund, for the purpose of retiring county bonds, one-fourth mill. Tho County Hoard of Commissioners are author ized to borrow from the Sinking Fund Commission, or other source, the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for tho payment of back Indebted ness and current expenses and pledge the tax levy for tho payment thereof, and the Sinking Fund is authorized to make said loan." "Or. motion of Mr. Karlo, tho bill was amended as follows: "Oconee county, page 27, line 7, after 'loan' add: 'the County Auditor shall levy one and one-half mills upon all of the property In Seneca School District, No. CH, for the pur pose of paying past due interest on outstanding bonds and for a sinking fund to retire Hie same, which was heretofore inadvertently omitted, in addition to the levy provided for the current interest and for a sinking fund to retire tho said bonds. The County Hoard of Commissioners are authorized and directed to audit and pay Hie Clerk of the Court Hie price of Hie necessary books to transcribe the records upon as provided In the Act of 1900, page 318, and shall audit and pay to the Clerk of tho Court balance of thc one thousand Ave hundred dollars heretofore levied and collected for that purpose upon tho completion of the work as pro vided in said act.' "Amend further on page 26, Oco nee county, strike out 'throe' and In sert 'two.' " Does his statement even resemble the truth? I have my faults, and plenty of them, as well as burdens, but I am conscious of the fact that I have worked hard day and night In tho sessions that 1 have tttended to do something that would aid tn advanc ing the welfare of the State and county. Many measures that I have proposed have been defeated, while a good number of them are now writ ten in the law. I have had ?;oine of No Man is Strone, Than His Sh A strong man is strong all over.

Tiley would lick mo and then I would lick them, hut that af forded no reason for us to become embittered towards each other. Wo were fighting for principio and not out of personal hatred, malice or spite. A man who cannot riso above such a plane will never accomplish much in constructive legislation. I have no personal feeling against Mr. Mann, for since the time that tho mind of man runneth not to the con trary there have been those who, on account, ot their own incapacity to cope with others, find fault with those who do fcrge ahead and do something of account.
