Following tho recent widespread complaints from housewives through on ' the entire Slate that drivers of ic wagons had b^en defrauding th'm, the department of agriculture this afternoon Issued a circular let ter to all of the leo companies in the State, calling attention to the com plaints raised and warning the com panies that they must equip all Ice wagons with sealed scales. It seems that the practice ls very general throughout the State for drivers of wagons to use no scales In selling their product from the wagon, substituting a sense of discrimination tn cutting the Ice the proper size. This is rather unreliable and led to complaints from housewives that they were being cheated lu tho amount of ice delivered. The department will seo that '.he law ls enforced, requiring all ice companies io furnish their delivery wagons with suitable scales. Minister Praises this Lava tl vc Rev. H.

It will be Interesting to note that while here they had a spend-the-day visit from Ben Doyle, a former slave of their father, James A. Doyle. The meet ing of Ben and "the boys" was one of unusual Interest, many reminis cent incidents of by-gone days being discussed, one of which we take the liberty to repeat. On one occasion Uncle James Doyle, their father, sent his young son Burt, armed with a shotgun, to the field to shoot crows, which were destroying his com. Burt soon returned in great excitement with the startling Information that he had killed a crow. "Bring lt In at once, my son," commanded his father. "No, father," replied Burt, "I couldn't bring lt home at all, be cause I shot lt all to pieces." Of course, after the smoke had cleared away, lt was found that the crow had been shot clear out of existence. Ben was a most faithful servant during the war and remained on the planta tion for years after he was free. He now owns a valuable farm and holds the respect and confidence of all white people with whom he has to deal. When asked his age ?he re plied: "Miss Beckie (Mrs. Alexan der) says I'm 73 years old. She saw lt In her pa's old Bible, and I know it's so." 41st Annual Reunion.

'In company with his nephew, Jas. White, Jr., J. W. White, of this city, visited relatives in Oconee county last week. They went by way of Six Mile, Old Plckens, New Hope and Wolf Stake, to the home of his bro ther, Geo. M. White He spent seve ral days In Oconee und In the SIx Mlte section ot this county, and while traveling around took noto of the crops. He says that ho has not seen such fine crops of cotton and corn in more than forty years as there are In the Six-Mile section-corn being es pecially good. The crops of Oconee county, he says, are as good as the land will make. This means much, as Mr. White is a very conservative man and a good farmer besides. Master Ralph Ellison, tho* 17-yeav old son of J. -C. Ellison, who ls a member of tho Plckens Coi nty Horn Club, has a patch of Batt'.? 4-eared corn growing on his father's farm near the city, that (if no disaster overtakes it) bids fair to make a record yield, if it does not take the prize In the county. It is now al most in roasting ears, and, true to its name, each stalk (stalks are not more than 18 inches apa.f In the drill) has from three to four ears. The rows'are about five? feet apart. We visited the Held one day last week and must say that we never saw a more promising prospect. The only thing that lt seems now can pos sibly prevent a very large yield ls the fact that the stand in places is a little irregular. Mr. Ellison has a very nice farm. All of his crops look well. He has a small patch of cot ton near his house that was planted in alternate rows with Irish potatoes. He has already sold from this patch of about one-half acre more than $50 worth of potatoes, and tho cotton Is about as ?ood as any on the farm. Mr. Ellison also plants buckwheat for his bees and chickens and crimson clover and cow peas for hay and to fertilize the soil. Tlie Best Pain KiUer.
