Editor Keowee Courier: I linve boon thinking for some time of writ ing a letter to the home papers to let tho people of Oeonee county know what is going on down here. Nothing of much Importance has been accomplished yet. We havo killed several hills that were brought over from last year-most of them hunting and fishing and dog hills. We have a hill coming up soon providing for the medical examina tion of all school children. I wish tito patrons ol' the several school dis tricts of Oeonee county would let me hoar from them in respect to this hill-whether or not they would Uko to seo lt passed. I have been thinking of Introduc ing a bill to Increase the pay of ju rors from $2 to $.'1 a day. as all ho tels and boarding houses have raised the price of food and lodging. I don't think a citizen ought to bo re (l ul red to give his time in jury ser vice without some compensation, and with prices now obtaining, lt is dlfll cnll for him to moot the expenses In cidental to court attendance. I should .ike to hear from the citizens of Oco \v,< county on this matter. I .am anx ie is to do what my constituents want done when lt ls in my power to do so. Another measure in which the peo ple of Oeonee are vitally interested lins passed tho House. This is a bill to" abolish tho State 'Tax Commis sion. This was passed in the House by a large majority, and it ls now up to the Senate whether we shall re tain Kaiser Dolf or take his scalp. I sincerely hope the Senate will re ,move 'Poll tl Us Pilate from the Slate Tax Throne and reduce him to pri vate ranks. I have done all I could to abolish the Slate Tax Commission, feeling assured I was voicing the sentiment ol' my people, and as it has passed the House I feel relieved. The responsibility is up to the Senate now. How long the House will continue in session is dilllcult to determine. .Induing from the size of the appro priation bill, il looks like we will lia ve to slay over time, at our own expenso, longer than we did last year. Some ol' Hie members seem to think that we should appropriate money for any! liing t hat ls asked for. I have been out to Camp .hickson to see our soldier boys from Oeonee. We lia ve a line set of fellows out there. They are all jovial and in good spirits and seem to be enjoy ing themselves. I certainly did en joy my stay willi them, and il was interesting lo hear the boys tell of their experiences in camp life. One ol our boys said, when I was leaving, that lie would bring nie a piece of the Kaiser's ear as a souvenir when ho ;;ets back from Prance, as a token of appreciation of my visit lo the camp. lo those in Oeonee county that they will receive the Same as last year. When I was at home a few days ago an old veteran took me by the hand and said he wanted to thank me for having recognized his service. My I reply to him was to thank Oeonee . county for having done her duty, of which 1 am very proud. Hoping to be of some service to Oeonee county and South Carolina at large. 1 am. Your servant. I W.

Fish and Blood and Potash Fertilizer Labor will bc scarce this year unless there is a decided change, and that makes it necessary for you to fertilize heavily so you can make full crops on the land you get cultivated? Farm products will bring good prices this year-prices that will justify you in fertilizing liberally-and while Potash is high, it will pay you to use some. You want good crops while prices are good? Three crops have been made without Potashr and now gray lands arc needing it? and one per cent of Potash will help the crops on red land? Potash is a medicine. It wards off diseases and keeps the plants healthy and strong, and when a plant is healthy and strong it will grow and blossom and fruit and you'll have abundant crops. There is as much difference between a healthy plant and a sickly plant as there is between a healthy pig and a sickly pig, so far as profitable returns are concerned. Potash keeps your crops healthy, and healthy crops are the only ones that pay. Keep the crops healthy while the prices are good. Make good crops when crops are worth something. Strike while the iron is hot. We have the Potash and don't you forget it. We have the Fish and Blood Fertilizer, When you get the Fish and Blood and Potash goods you get the best to bc had in fertilizer? If you don't make a crop with that it will not be the fault of the fertilizer-for there is nothing better. And now, finally, when labor is scarce and high and prices for farm products are fine don't stint thc fertilizer-make all you possibly can on the land you cultivate. Fish and Blood and Potash Goods may bc thc solution of your farming troubles this year. We have the Fish and Blood and Potash goods? They are for sale. Come to see us. You know where to find us. Anderson Phosphate & Oil Co., Building Material. We have anticipated and stocked up on Doors, - Windows, - Locks, Hinges, - Nails, Roofing, Etc. You, no doubt, will be doing some building soon?
