Ragsdale of Interest to Tobacco Growers of South Carolina. Dear Sir: As you no doubt are aware there has been (or will be at an early date) a bill introduced in the state legislature to force or compel the farmers of South Carolina to giade and tie up their tobacco before they can sell same. Being a warehouseman of the state for the past twelve years I am fully acquainted with the tobacco situation both from the standpoint of the farmer and the buyer, and knowing what I do along this line, 1 feel it my duty, in justice to the tobacco growers of South Carolina, to request that this bill be held up until the masses of the tobacco growers can be heard from, as I am positive that the larger:proportion of the tobacco growers are against such a movement, especially when' the true facts are put before them. The communication from Mr. N. A. McMillan appearing in The Enterprise of the 14th inst., is in a large measure misleading. No doubt, Mr. -McMillan is honest in his assertions, but evi dentlv he has based his conclusions from information obtained frQm a small number of the tobacco growers and a very few warehousemen. I feel that Mr. McMillan should not push this bill until he has heard from t'he majority of the tobacco growers. Below I will give you a few of the misleading points in Mr. McMillan's communication: First, "To amend the law regulating warehouse charges so they will be re duced to the North Carolina scale." This word "reduce" used in this con nection leaves the impression with the farmer that he would sell his tobacco for less warehouse charges which is not true. After his tobacco is graded into several piles and sold as on the North Carolina basis of charges, the charges will be more per - tho-izand pounds instead of less than they are today in South Carolina. . Second, In the comparison of prices it is unfair foil Mr. McMillan to quote the prices on one particular market. He ghould have quoted the average prices for the entire states of North and South Carolina, and not take out the Wilson market from the hundred or more markets in North Carolina. Wilson is located in the heart of an exceptional tobacco territory-a terri tory that grows the finest cigarette and smoking tobacco and the finest wrappers in the world, and has long been noted for this type of tobacco. In a general average the old Palmetto State's average is right up with any tobacco producing state. The actual loss in weight and cost in grading and tieing is over two dollars pes hundred pounds, which claim almost every farmer will agree is true. All tobacco sectiens have their own true value and eastern Carolina stands first and has for many years. The Winston-Saletai market, the leading market in the state of North Carolina and thc big gest manufacturing point in the world for tobacco, is now averaging less for its tobacco than the state of South Car olina averaged for the past season. And about all the re-drying plants in South Carolina are equipped for hand ling South Carolina tobacco in the leaves and it would cost a hundred thousand dollars or more to make this change, and very likely could not be done in time to take care of the coming crop, which would be a great drawback to the situation. Every tobacco grower in the state of South Carolina is well aware that when the middle of Sept em ber comes that most of the buyers leave for the North -Carolina, Virginia and other marirets. Then the bulk of their tobacco would be left at the mercy 'of the few. I am aware that a large per cent of the tobacco growers would not plant tobacco at all if they had to go to this extra tr-ouble and expense and I am sure this proposed legislation would be a great drawback to -the farmers of your state. I trust you will look into this matter and oblige, -Yours truly, J. D. KING. Sum morton. True it is I promised to get you up a better letter this week, than I did last week, but it really seems like this is one week it just would not happen, or rather that did happen, those most con 'erned had much rather it had not happened-"se later." However, the stork did visit the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hat field, and left a girl, and there has been two deaths among the colored popula tion, but no marriages to report.

Given under my hand this 23rd day of January Anno Domini 1915. J. M. WINDHAM, Judge of IProbate. About Sound Waves. One of, those scientists 7ho are al ways developing apparent paradoxes in thought has come forward with the statement that sound itself is not ex traneous, but exists only because of nerve. In other words, if the ears of the human race were removed tomor-' row the world would be absolutely noiseless to humanity. The contention is that the sound waves, traveling at a rate of 1,090 feet a second, create iuvisible ripples iii the air just as a pool ripples when a rock is thrown into it. The greater the force of these waves the louder the sound. But there is no noise until these sound waves strike the sensitive nerves of the ear. Thus, reverting to the original'proposi tion, the air waves'themselves would be noiseless did they not operate in conjunction with the human sense of hearlia._ Good Excuses. Two men were drinking together when the conversation turned on' how to feed and train -canaries, which hap pened to ba their profession. They were telling each other the merits of their birds, which were to go in a show, and both were sure of winning the prize. At last one of them said, In a sorrowful tone: "Ah, Tom,. if I had only got the one I had last week I should not have much trouble In win-t nling,' but I had taught him to sing, 'Home, Sweet Home,' so much to per fection that the tears rolled down his breast till he got exhausted, fell off' his perch and was drowned In his own tears." "Oh," said Tom, "that's noth ing. One night my bird was singing 'The Village Black'smith' so true that the sparks flew out of his eyes, set fire to the cage, and before we had time to put the flames out the poor little wretch got roasted to death."
