Oconoe County, Jan. 25th. My Dear Cousin Legislature: lt has been so long since 1 heard from you until I almost think you think that 1 don't think as much of you as I used to think. 1 was glad to hear that you had got back to Co lumbia, S. C., to spend tho winter sea son. Dear counsin, you must not think hard of me for not writing of tener, as you know I have been very busy. Just this week 1 wis up In the mountains surveying, alic, during tho day we came to a very rough, wild-, looking laurel and rock cliff, and ono of the party called my attention to the fact that there had been many wild cats captured and killed in that particular place, so we slopped work and began to explore this wild place. Wo wont on and on until wo came to what -we' took to be a wild, cat's den; then I reached my hand in the ugly place. I had succeeded In reaching most as far as my arin would reach when all of a sudden I thought of the bill that our partner Mason had In troduced In your sacred presence, which is to do away with tho auto mobile tax in Oconee county. Cou sin what do you think about that? One of the best laws that has ever been passed In the State, and nothing better to offer the people. Remem ber, there are some 4 23 cars In the county, which pay a tax of about. $3,500, or over, that the county .would be knocked out of, and that would have to be made up by putting a higher commutation road tax, and you know who will have that to pay without telling you. The men that own the cars are altogether in favor of tile tax and have not kicked about it, and willingly paid the tax or li cense, as lt is called. Now, cousin, what do you think of a man that don't know any more about law-mak ing than that, not mentioning that other Representative that has pledg ed his support? Did you get that? Think about it - $3,500, or over, taken from the roads of Oconee that will have to be made up by other higher taxation, as liefere stated. The only hope ls that the other Represen tatives from all over the State will see thc people of Oconee county's groat need of protection and come to their rescue. Ain't thal what you hope they will do? What a pitty trying to kill the "goose that laid the golden egg." Cousin, don't let them do it. Hut in case they do do it, "for give them, for they know not what they do." Mr. Mason has boen over and dis tu ched tile peace of the poor old sol diers' home. Wonder if they are really dissatisfied, or did he just make these big promises just to fool them? Cousin, why can't you go around with him now? Try and keep him and the other two corralled. When Hie Governor sent for them lo come over before he made tin? ap pointment of Sheriff and Supervisor lils idea was to see what J?dinnen!, the people had used in sending a del egation to the House. So they went walking up in the Governor's pres ence, and Mr. Mason suggested to him (the Governor) that he make the ap pointment in accordance to the result of the last election, and the Governor smilingly remarked that "he could well ?ee that the said result had proved fatal," and ignored them and said, "I'll arrange the matter." Don't you know they felt cheap? Now, cousin Legislature, look what Mr. Shelor promises the poor doctors next week, which will take from the doctor the alcohol and drug diet. I think that ls mean, for the doctors and lawyers are the only class of peo ple that are able to get alcoholic drinks or d'mgs, but by passing that bill the poor M. D. would ha\e to [stand aside and seo the lawyer get lt I all, as usual. I believe he should amend that bill by inserting the word "lawyer" along side the doctor. Anyway, I didn't catch a wild cat, but found that 1 had my hand in n polecat hole when I jerked it out. and what an awful scent it raised. Hold your nose-h-o-o-n-kie, h-o-o-n-kio. Stand up and be dismissed. Write soon. Cousin Billie Fennell. Rlue Ridge Literary Society.

HMM Saara W?LW Em ?fki Ssas FOR Fertilizer Feed It is about thc only source of Potash. Your soils will not give you full returns for your labor without the pres ence of the three elements necessary to grow the plant. COTTON SEED MEAL contains all these ele ments-Phosphoric Acid. Ammonia and Potash. The average, according to analysis of Clemson College, for the past 24 years is: Phosphoric Acid ------- 2,41 per cc. Ammonia - -- -- -- -- 7,49 Potash. 1.60 For thc last ten years: Phosphoric Acid. 2.40 per ct. Ammonia - -- - - - - 7,20 Potash. 1,61 You can, therefore, count absolutely on an an alysis of: Phosphoric Acid. 2.00 per ct. Ammonia - - - -. 7,00 Potash ---------- J ,50 And any mixed goods of this anaylsis, purchased from any reliable dealer, will cost you to-day at least $44,75 per ton at interior points, fall payment. Now, after adding interests on cash price of Cotton Seed Meal, and cost of delivery, it is still the cheapest by about $2,00 per ton. It doesn't leach easily, feeds plant evenly throughout the growing season and is a home product. All fertilizer materials advancing, Better contract now for your requirements. You took the Potash out or thc ground with your crop. It is now up to you to return it to the soil if you expect results. Feeds are valuable in an almost exact proportion to their Fat and Protcin^contents. Every boy in thc cattle and dairy section knows this, and the feeder's first question is, "What?docs it carry?" Compare the following with Cotton Seed Meal : WHEAT BRAN Combined Fat and Protein . . .' ? 19.4 per ct. Selling to-day, wholesale, at $38.00 per ton. WHEAT SHORTS Combined Fat and Protein - - - - 19,6 per ct. Selling to-day, wholesale, at $39.50 per ton. ALFALFA HAY Combined Fat and Protein - - - - 16,5 per ct.

Selling to day, wholesale, at $48.00 per ton, MIXED FEED Combined Fat and Protein - - - - 23,0 per ct Selling to-day, wholesale, at $40.00 per ton. COTTON SEED MEAL Based on above averages Protein and Fat, Cotton Seed $95.34 per ton. Get prices on Cotton Seed Meal, and remember that it is Protein and Fat that counts in a feed. Why let the Northern feeder have your valuable Cotton Seed Meal in exchange for his products of much lower value? It's an unfair change. Don't you think so? now being paid for Meal should bring The Oil Mill is the armer's Friend. Cotton Seed was Once a Worth less By-Product; lt is Now Second Only to Cotton in the South.
