Quite interesting are the facts that are gathered from the Poultry bulletin that has been issued by the agricultu- ' ral department. The barnyard fowls which are re* gardek by most farmers as a very in significant part of their stock, and yet. although so often neglected and forced to shift for themselves, the poultry and I egg crop constitutes in the aggregate ] one of the most important and valuable [ products of America. The conditions of this country are such that the poul try industry is capable of indefinite ex pansion, and therefore able to meet any demands that may be made upon sent in at least three days before change is made. Changes made only where contracts are made to that effect. AIKEN. S. C.: THURSDAY. JUNE 22, 1905. New Orleans, La., has been chosen by the Confederate veterans as the _place for the general reunion next year. The Pickens dispensary was finally closed Tuesday morning by order of J. E. Cox, chairman of the eounly board of control. Some of our contemporaries express surprise at the crimes being committed in Aiken county. When juries fail in their plain obligations to the State, those criminally inclined take advan tage of the immunity from punishment which is thus promised.—The State. Kdukfield county has made a move towards getting rid of the dispensary, and a mass meeting will be held at the court house there on Monday the 3d July to take action in the matter. Anderson is also moving in the same line, and there all the dispensary peti tions will all be sent in during next week in order that the matter may be presented to the board of county com missioners at their regular meeting the first Tuesday in July. An election will be asked for the 2d ..f August. The Law' and Order League of Aiken County will meet on the 4th of July, and there will be good speakers pres ent, who will doubtless impress upon their hearers the vital importance of suppressing the lawlessness that ob tains in our county. Good talks may do something to arouse the public opinion, which makes f >r law and order. Rut it seems to us that some radical re forms are essential if justice is to be had, and lawbreakers are to be pun ished We will mention only two here. They are making public the list of petit jurors drawn for each session of court; and allowing defendants to have so many peremptory objections to jurors. We know of i o good reason why the names of jurors should be made public. It seems that the ends of justice would be better served if their names were closely kept unknown to the general public until they were called at the m meting of courtTi In the matter of j>b jections to jurorsJby defendants i jMlCTa fendants should have the right to jcct jurors except for certain re given. The exercise of the right of’re jection is carried much too far in our courts, and should be more restricted. is upon a farm depends almost as much upon the kind of men who manages them as upon any other condition. There are no birds which stand neglect better than the common, mongrel barnyard fowls, for these have lived and devel oped under unfavorable conditions and are accustomed to shift for themselves. They are generally hardy, vigorous, and yield a fair return in eggs or as table poultry. For farmers who desire fowls more particularly for egg production, the Mediterranean breeds, particularly the Leghorns, Minorcas and Spanish, are to be recommended. The birds of these breeds are smaller, more active, and greater foragers than the Plymouth Rock or Wyandottes, and as layers they are unsurpassed. Should it be desira ble. on the other hand, to raise heavier birds than the Plymouth Hocks, then turn to the Asiatic breeds, which in clude the Brahmas, Cochins and Lang- shuns For chickens of these fine breeds, a house somewhat separated from the other farm buildings, but near enough to the barnyard so that they can spend part of their time in scratching for waste grains, will get better results than by letting them run where they please. Chickens when raised in connection with a market garden or truck farm are greatly benefited if fed the leavings, such as waste lettuce, small heads of cabbage, theunsold beets, carrots and E otatoes, the peas, corn, which cannot e marketed for any reasons, the waste of the small fruits, dried clover roots and other green food. •(•nnlal Session Fiasco. The special committee to examine into the biennial session of the legis lature will meet shortly and consider the various phases of the problem. There is considerable interest being taken in the coming meeting, and some speculation, as to the result. The peo ple by a very large majority voted in favor of biennial sessions of the legis lature, to begin in 1907, but a special report was made at the last session against the idia, stating that there were several objections to the plan .and that legal complications must arise that would cause endless confusion. The people who voted in favor of the two years’ idea could not see where the complications came in, and there was a great deal of comment on this action of the legislature. They could not see why the legislature would not settle the matter in the forty days they had here, and why it was necessary to delay the matter a year. However the mat ters were delayed, and the coming ses sion of the committee will be watched very closely. The objection raised by the report of the judiciary committee have been carefully studied by the advocates of the biennial system, and sonie of these advocates will appear before the com mittee and smooth out these objections in such a way that nothing but a favor able report will be made. As soon as " t amTJTTamen ana wm be ranier quick about it, as the session is followed by a campaign year. TWO PIECE SUITS Men’s Two Piece Suits grow in favor constantly.

Goose “Crick” w’iter, as we and others familiar from early association with the “crick” could have told them, have not come up to what the promoters of the water promised. In fact our friends in Charleston do not seem to have yet got their fill of it, if it is desirable, according to the reports of its re markable qualities, that they should do so. We have heard some queer state ments about the contents of this water —when it is not brackish from salt in the “crick.” It is said that a lady, upon turning on the water into her bath tub, saw a small bloody Mown, pursued by a water snake, come from the faucet. One may imagine her feelings. Again it is stated that a gentlemen, upon getting into his bath tub, containing “crick” water, slipped in the mud and dislocated hi instep. Another statement is that a restaurant ! the public, keeper on East Bay was reported to the police as conducting what must be a swindle, in that a schooner of iced tea was being sold for one cent! Upon investigation it was found only to be “crick” water drawn from the faucet, and sweetened. Again it is said that some of the householders in Charles ton have found this water most valu able as a fertilizer. They simply flood their flower beds, and the liberal quan- Summer School at Clemson.

The Bobbs-Merrill , Company, Indianapolis, publishers. 1 $1 50. j While this is a clever story it has not the power nor great iiuerest possessed by other of Anna Green’s books. The s ory is a detective one, and it leads t trough seemingly impenet rable mys- t -iy and keeps the reader following after to the event which clears things u • in the author's characteristic, in- g »v~«is manner, but ends rather ab ruptly. The question was. was the little heir ess stolen or drowned, and who d.d whichever was done? Involved in the plot is one Dr. Pool of Yonkers, a phy sician of miserly habits, who in his old age turns into a religious monomaniac. As a greedy unregenerate he had ass's- ted in the crime, now he becomes a righler of wrongs and an avenger. He is a grim and picturesque personage and naturally comes to an untimely end. As to the solution of the mystery this is no place to hint at even the na ture of it. The reader will find this out for himself, and find it out abruptly.
