I Most people know that if they have been tick they need Scoff's Emul sion to bring back health and strength. But the strongest point about Scoffs Emulsion is that you don’t have to be sick to get results from it 1 It keeps up the athlete's strength, puts fat on thin people, makes a fretful baby happy, brings color to a pale girl's cheeks, and pre vents coughs, colds and consumption.

Though Washington has been off the map since the ad.ournmentof Congress for the holidays and few men of bromi- nence have been here, some interesting go.'8ip has been afloat concerning the election of a successor to Senator Lati mer, when his term office shall have expired in March 1909. From present indications the summer of 1908 will see a whirlwind campaign on in South Caioiina, one that will make that of 1902 look tame. It is known that a caucus was Ijeld recently among a large number of pr minent politicians who have been figuring strongly on preventing the re turn to the upper house of Congress. These men are accredited to various sections of the State, two one front the Wateree.section, one from Spartanburg and four from Greenvile. The result of this meeting showed beyond dispute that at least seven men in the State I to bei ome the success of Senator Lat- I mer as the colleague of Senator ftll- It is not improbable that Senator Lat imer’s opponents for relection may nar row down to one candidate Spartanburg and one from the middle section, 0°^" of whom are popular with the rank ant. file of voters in the State and are poli ticians of a high order. The race looks interesting even at this distance. Charleston Post Ihe Aiken Recorder. A Democratic Newspaper, PUBLISHED SEMI-WEEKLY. MONDAY AND THURSDAY. By ARTHUR P. FORD.

Insreass in Uss of Fortillzors. The farmers of South Carolina are becoming more and more progressive each year. This is apparent from the privilege tax receipts. On each ton of fertilizer tax 25 cents is paid. The first year that this fertilizer tax was required the sales were 213,000 tons. Last year the sales had increased to 668,000 tons The income in 1906, as shown by the books of Mr. J. Fuller Lyon at the office of the State treasurer was $167,- 157.89. The receipts for each year since 1901 were as follows. 1902 81,744.94 1903. 118,974,15 1905 130,439.09 1906 .. .167,157.89 This revenue goes to Clemson College where f’e fertilizers are inspected. In this connection it may be said that if the sale of fertizer is any in dication, the cotton croo next y?ar is going to be a bumper in South Carolina. From the sale of the fertilizer tags, which the law declared shall be placed upon each inspected sack of fertilizer, it is evident that the sale of fertilizer has been a large one. The books in the State Treasurer’s office show the tax up to this date reaches $167,157 89. On the same date last year it was $130,439 53 Of c-urse some of the fertilizer goes under corn and other crops than cotton but its sale is usually taken as an in dication of the cotton crop. ■y Berman Bag.
