Columbia, January 26th, 1907. Since my last I have received a num ber of letters from the readers of THE TIOIEs, expressing their pleasure with my Capitol Correspondence. One of th'em says he gets more material infor mation from these letters than he is able to gather from any other source, and he expresses tb: wish that I con tinue writing. Of zourse, it is gratify ing to find my efforts app);reciated, and I shall, as long as the session lasts, en deavor to lieep our readers posted on all such matters as I regard of interest to them. The Clarendon delegation is not having "a warm time" over the Salem magistrate matter as has been stated in an article oublished in the Sentinel. Doctor Woods endeavored to legislate out of office the Turbeville magistrate and increase the New Zion magistrate's salarv from S100 to $300, and his con stable's salary $75 to $150, but Messrs. Scarborough and Dingle, together with myself could not agree to this, especi ally when we have the written evidence of a large portion of Salem, that the change is not desired. We are not ad vocating the retention of the Turbe ville magistrate to "pay a political debt to certain parties," as the writer in tha Sentinel intimates, and so far as I am individually concerned. I am not indebted to the Turbeville mazistrate in the least, as I have reason to believe he did not support me. but I am, in my opposition to the proposition of Doctor Woods, actuated by a higher motive, and feel assured Messrs. Scarborough and Dingle are also. I hope that we are big enough and broad enough to lay aside personal considerations when it comes to doing a public duty. We neither feel that we should favor those who in the exercise of their rights chose to vote for us, nor should we punish those who did not vote for us. The magistrate matter is practically settled, notwithstanding "the assur ance of prominent senators." which I doubt exceedingly, for the reason that there is not a senator who would at tempt to intrude himelf upon a purely local measure. There is no feeling in the delegation over this matter, every thing is going along pleasantly. We can differ on matters of policy, but so far nothing h's arisen which has created any warmth in our differences. As mentioned last week, Mr. Scar borough, after a fight with the oil mill interests, secured a favorable report from the committee on agriculture on his bill, "To prevent the adulteration f cotton seed meal and to provide a punishment for its adulteration." This bill has not had its second reading in the House, and when it comes up I look for a lively fight, because the cot ton oil mill interests are very much interested to have it defeated. They claim the passage of such an Act would drive the smaller mills to the wall. and with their present machinery they cannot manufacture an eight per cent. meal To do so, would force them to ut in additional machinery that would iminish the quantity of oil now made, mnd the mills that crush the Peterkin ;eed would have to go out of business dtogther. Just what there is in this :ontention, I am unable to say, but I im satisfied the debate will be interest ng and Mr. Scarborough appears to be prepared to meet the arguments. The ollowing is the text of the Scarbor >ugh bill: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: SECrION I. That all cotton seed meal manu actured or offered for sale in this State, to 1-e used for any purpose whatsoever. shall not oe Idulterated or mixed with any other subst.ace r thing at the time of' manufacture. or at any ther time, but shall be offered for sale as and ihall be the unadulterated iproduct of the seed trom which it is made. and when offered for tale as fertilizer shall show under analysis, as is now provided for by law, the full strength of Lhe product of the seed in meal, as to all its ngredients, which shall not be less than 6.59 per cent. of nitrogen, equivalent to s per cent. mmonia, and tnere shall be attached to each inch barrel, sack or package of cotton seed neal offered for sale or sold in this State a tag apon which shall be marked the guaranteed nalysis and number of pounds in each barrel, iag. or Any person. lirm or corporation who thall adulterate any cotton seed meal in vlola ion of the foregoing Section shall for each >ense be fined not less than one thousand- dol ars (S1,000.00) nor more than ten thousand ollars (S10,000,00.) or be imprisoned at hard abor for not less than one year nor more than en years, or both fine and imprisonment within uch limits by the court. SC. 3. This Act to take eject immuillately pon its approval. SEC. 4. All ACts and parts of Acts in con'tict herewith are hereby repealed. Dr. Woods has had a bill prepared. the title of which I have misplacedI, ut the committee to whom it was re ferred returned an unfavorable report. ft relates to the protection of fur ani mals, opposum and coons, and such like 'varmints." I think the Doctor is after putting a stop to the business of fur nimal hunting where it is carried on as a business. I have not seen the bill, the Doctor tells me it is a meritorious one, and that he is satisfied when the ose hears his argument it will read ly appreciate the necessity for such Legislation. The fur-hunting business in some States is so exterisive that pro tecting laws have been enacted and a onsiderable revenue has -been secured y way of licenses. ~Th bill introduced relating to work ng the roads in Clarendon County, the text of which I published last week. passed the Senate and has its second eading iri the House, and by the time his reaches my readers the'bill will have passed both houses and enrolled for ratification. I also introducted a bill which mends Section 13 of the Acts of 1903 nd which relates to the salaries of ounty officers, so as to increase the number of days the Board of County ommissioners are to look after the pubic works, from 2.5 to 501 days. Here tofore the commissioners have been limited to twenty-five days, which did ot give them time enough to properly look after the roads. and now that they will be called upon to make a personal iuvestigation of the conditions of the work on roads and bridges, so as to intelligently let out contracts for, all work exceeding S253. I am sure it is in he interest of economy to give them more days with the same per diem heretofore allowed them. In this same bill I increased the salary of the clerk of the board from $150 to $200. The work in the County Commissioner's office more than doubled in the last few years, and in order to secure a mad~ who will give this work proper atten tion, $200 a year is very small pay. There is also in this bill a provision for the treasurer's salary. Last year the delegation did not get the treasurer's salary in the salary bill. provided for it in the supply bill, which must be en acted every year, and should it so hap pen that it is overlooked the treasurer would be in a bad fix-he would be without any salary. Therefore, in order to make his salary permanent I placed his salary at $1,000, the same *as last yearin a permanent Act.and it will re main so nntil the salary is increased or decreased by future legislatures. The first bill I had prepared for the treausrer's salary was objected to by the Senator from Orangeburg, on the ground that I amended Section 760 of the Code of 1902, and this would re peal all the acts on this line that were enacted subsequent to 1902, which would affct the county of Orangeburg, when he drewv attention to this I read ily consented to have my bill laid upon the table, and then with the Senator of Orangeburg looked over the acts since 1902, and found to get what I wanted was to amend Section 13 of the Acts of 1905, so I drew the bill accordingly, but when it was introduced the senator from York objected to its going on the Calendar without reference, as he wanted the finance to inspect it, in or der to ascertain whether or not the pro portion of the treasurer's salary to be paid by the State was correct. I tried to get him to withdraw his objection, and told him he could correct any dis parity by amendment, but he would not, and as it required unanimous con sent I had to let it go to the committee, A visli. to our clerk of court's offie convinced me that unless some provis ion is made to have the ~indexes in that ollice put in proper shape the public interests would suffer. The books are falling to pieces. and it willi not be long before the written portions will be greatly damaged. I have introduced a bill to provide for a reindexinf of the records so far as t hey relate to real estate, and for this work I have pro vided $500. There seems to be some doubt about getting this hwork done for $500, but I believe otherwise, and my reasons are, that in 1SS: or 3, the re cords of that office were reindexed for the first time. Then every paper and book was reindexed, which included liens, bills of sales, judgments for money denand, and various other re cords, and my impression is that the work was done by Dr. G. Allen Hug gins and Y. N. Butler for 500. if the records at that time, which included everything, liens, mortgages of per sonal property, etc.. could be indexe.l for 100 I cannot see why $500 should not be sutficient for the reindexinz now when it is to be considered that only such records as relate to real estate are to be reindexed. I believe a competent man can do this work and make hand some wages. I feel satisfied the work can be done in five months easy. and A100 a month is not to he sneezed at by no means. While I am convinced it. is in the interest of the public to have this work done. t must have regard for the publec treasury. The following is the text of the bill: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: Section L That the records of Clarendon County. so far as the saMe relates to real estate. be reindexed alphabetically and .icoraphically. under the direction of the L., rk of the Court. and the sum of live hundred dhllars is hereby appropriated for the purpose. o be paid out of the general county funds, as other claims aroinst the County are paid. Sec.2. That the Clerk of the Court is author ized to purchase the necessary books for the indexing referred to in Sec. 1. of this Act. and the cost of said books shall also be paid for out of the general connty fund. in addition to the above appropriation. The lien law was the most important easnre in the House this week. What is known as the Richards b'il passed by alarge majority. Messrs. Woods, Dingle and Scarborough were among the majority. It is now over in. the Senate, but if the action of the Senate is to be judged by what was done to the Crouch bill, the repeal of-the lien law will now succeed at this session. Senator Crouch of Saluda introduced a bill to repeal the lien law. It was too drastic, it chopped off the lien business suddenly like an ax chops off the head f a chicken. I save notice that if the enacting words were not stricken out 1 should amend tWe bill by fixing the time for it to go into effect December 31. 190S, so as to give those who have been engaged in this system time to wind up their business, but ahen the vote was taken the Senate struck out the enacting words which of course killed the bill. I cannot say the same action will be taken on the Richards bill, as I understand it does allow some time before the law is to go into effect. There are two sides to this question, and both sides have good argument. Individually, I am satisfied, to repeal the lien law will not have the effect its advocates claim. I believe our labor onditions will not be improved. I further believe it will prove to the dis advantage of those owning lands to reut, and as a result the lands will de preciate in value. It is reasonable to suppose, if the-tenant cannot get credit te cannot rent the la-nd, and if be can not rent the land, then he goes to the ighest bidder- for wages. It is well known that the owners of land cannot afford to assume the i-isk of furnishing their tenants, and if they did, they must give security. If they borrow money to make these advances, they will be required to give real estate mortgages, and should the conditions ever again be like the present, disaster would follow. The lands would be put on the block to satisfy -the demands against them I would hail with joy the time when business can be done in his country upon a cash basis, but b'at troubles me, are we ready at ,this time? To repeal the lien law now, without giving a reasonable time to arrange the business system to suit the new conditions will be too revolution r andi drive into the bankruptcy ourts thousands of merchants. I voted against striking out the enacting words ofthe Crouch bill, not because I favor ed its provisions, but because I wanted to keep myself in a position to amend it, and failing in amending I would ave voted to kill it. When the Rich ards bill reaches a vote in the Senate, anless it gives a reasonable time for its operations to begin. I cannot vote for it, but shall vote for the repeal of the ien law if it is not to go into effect be fore 1909. The coming week will be largely taken up with liquor legislation. The Carey bill is made a special order in the House for Wednesday, and in all probability it will pass that body, un less the State Dispensary forces form a ~ombination with the Prohibitionists and pass a prohibition bill. The Carey bill provides for Local Option, as be tween Prohibition and County Dispen-. tary, leaving it to the people to decide which system of the~two they will have. Senator Smith of Hampton intro duced a resolution in the Senate pro viding for the judiciary committees of both houses to frame a bill looking to the abolishment of the dispensary and provide for local option. This resolu tion was adopted by the Senate,. but I am satisfied it will be killed in the House. In my judgment- the Smith reso lution is misleading, because it has cre ated the impression that the Senate has shown its hand and the dispensary is doomed, but I do not regard the vote on the Smith resolution as amounting to a hill of beans. McGo wan of Lau rens voted for the resointioni and he is a strong State dispensary man: Talbert of Edefield voted against the resolu tion and he is an ardent Prohibitionist, Earle of Oconee voted against the res olution and he is as yet an "unknown quantity," and so is Carpenter of Pick-! ens. Then there were several absent, therefore I say the vote on the Smith resolution indicates nothing. My opm-. ion is that the State dispensary forces are badly scared, and they attribute their shaky condition to the local op tinists, to revenge themselves if they find they cannot swing on to the State concern, they will attempt to make an alliance with Prohibitionists, and thus bring about confusion and prevent legislation. The Prohibitionist who blocks Local Option by being stub born, will be responsible for the reten tion of the State machine. I believe, however, there are enough reasonable men in the general assembly who real ize that the people demand a change, and if the sincere State dispensary ad vcates cannot succeed in enacting a a purification law, they will join the local optionist. The State dispensary is doomed I believe. The elections came off last Wednes day, the one of more interest to my readers, and by the way, was more xciting, was the election of Judge of the Third Circuit. This election re sulted as I predicted last week, in the elevation to the bench of Hon. John S. Wilson of Manning. His oppenec t was Hon. T. B. Fraser of Sumter. The contest wvas close, bo0th gentlemen had devoted and untiring friends. Sumter came over to the contest with .a dele gation for her man, but the friends of Wilson were no novices, and without ostentation and blowing ot trumpets went quietly and systematically to work for results, leaving the gentleman from the city of automobiles-- to indulge their imaginations and hopes. Tile Sumter crowd was confident of success. they were certain of a majority of ten, bt when they heard the eloquence of Paul Hemphill of Chester seconding the nomination of Mr. Fraser they lifted their eyes heavenward and pray e d Gdwould save them from their friends. Senator Clifton of Sumter made the nominating speech for Fraser onde by prerangement all over the hall. Senator Walker of George town nominated Wilson and after this nomination began to be seconded by the friends of Wilson. Hon. Paul Hemphill rose and injected in the midst of the Wilson seconds a seconding speech for F! aser. Senator Rodgers of Marlboro very nicely replied to Mr. Hemphill's references to Juidge Fraser and gave the general assembly to un derstand the day for handing down ofdices from father to son in this State had passed and then seconded the nom ination of Wilson. It was not my pur pose to do more than formally second the nomination but I felt indignant at Mr. Hemphill's extraordinary conduct. I could not refrain from expressinlr my surprise and indignation to the -en eral assenibly. The injection of Mr. emhl)ill's s)Ceeh at the time, i in tended as a trick, proved a boomerang. The vot - esulted $4 to -ti, and John S. Wilson c:as elected 'judge of the Third Judicial Circuit. Mr. Wilson i was not about ihe State House at ail. Ile was sick at the home of his niece, but as soon as possible he was informed over the telephone Since the election he has been the recipient of letters and telegrams from all over the State, con gratulating him upon his success. Owing to the active part I took in his race and the personil r'lations exist ing between us I will forego the pleas ure of putting in type my gratification at his success. I think however I should say that Messrs. Scarborough and Dingle worked like Trojans and de serve much credit for the 'result. The people of Clarendon are much indebted to Senator Rodgers of Marlboro and Senator Wells of Florence for the elee tionof Ion. John S. Wilson to the judgeship. Hon. Walter H. Wells will be a candidate for S:lcitor. and in my opinion he deserves the support of Clarendon more than any other man who may become a candidate. In the first place, Mr. Wells is competent, will make a worthy successor to Wil son. Second. he is from Florence a county that has never had any of the higher honors in this circuit. Third. Florence joins Clarendon, and a good portion of Florence was once Claren ron. Fourth, Mr. Wells'untiring zeal had much to do Vt' elevating Claren don's honored son to the bench. I hope Clarendon's will show her appreciation by supporting Hon. Walter H. Wells of Florence for Solicitor. A. Danger in Asking Advice.

It has not been many years since Rock Hill was the size of Manning and the vast blocks of prlperty were then owned by a few parties. but thave since been cut up anud sold to any and every good white person who wante~d and could pay for a home, and now Rock Hill is one of the very best towns in the State. Why': Because the people allowed J. Edgar Poag to advertise and sell their property for them as he thought best, and today there is not one of the older citizens of that enterprising town to the way that the towns property was advertised and thrown open to the whole country by. J, Edgar Poag.

In their haste to use cheap fertilizers, consisting largely of Acid Phosiphate (dissolved rock). many farmers have, in a measure. over look-d this valuable material. We are now directly importing and pla ing it upon the markrt at prices which make it the cheapest as well as the best source of plant food. Skilful culture will avail little unless plants are well nourished, and the excess of one clement cannot supply the demand for another. PERUVIAN GUANO supplies ALL the plant food elements furnished by ground bone. acid phosphate. tankage, dry ground fish, dried blood. sulphate of ammonia. cotton seed meal. etc. These elements are already intimately mixed and combined by natural processes, making it the Best Possible Base for Home Mixtures.. For certain crops it may seem advisable to add more Potash to the percentage contained in Peruvian Guano. either by mixing the material or by applying the additional quantities as a side applicatlon.
