Columbia, Feb. 1.—In cases where owners of motor vehicles have remit ted fels to the State Highway De partment and have not received their license plates there will be no prose cution for violation of the law, says a letter from the Attorney General this afternoon to F. H. Murray, sec retary of the department. The Attorney General stated that he had received many complaints about the delay in the issuance of licenses. “Under the view that I take of the law,” said the Attorney General, “I feel it my duty to advise them (the complainants) that where the remit tance was made in good faith to your department in order to secure a li cense before February 1, that I, as Attorney General, will not press any prosecutions against them and will dis miss such prosecutions as may be brought in such cases. This is not in tended as a reflection upon your office, but I hope you will be able to employ sufficient clerical aid to issue the li censes applied for without delay. If the failure to issue license is due to the inability of your office to issue same -upon demand, I do not think a penalty should be placed upon a party where he has paid it in due time.” * .

While I here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Buckingham. Monday was salesday, usually one of the most largely attended of the year, but owing to the cold weather and the fact that the local merchants were forced to close their doors under the fuel admmsot rater's order, the At of the vi Heat Reaching 163 Degrees Is Hurled Into One's Face Like Sheet of Fire. When ^he caravans In olden days went up from Samarcnnd and Bokhara to Mery for silks and carpets, or car ried spices for Europe to the Caspian ports, some of them occasionally wan dered off into the desert of Kara-Kum, and few of those ever returned. This desert, which is smaller but more ter rible than Sahara, came to be known as “the tomb of caravans.” If you were to venture Into the desert of Kara-Kum you would travel by , camel. At first you would pass through a land of scrubby bushes and rest at noon near a well surrounded by a tiny native village at the bottom of a dimple in the desert. And here you would feel your first touch of the desert heat—a heat that reaches 163 degrees in the sun and is hurled into your face by the wind like a veritable sheet of flame. In the comparative cool of evening jou would push on Into the desert proper. Presently from the top of a slight elevation you would see it reach ing before you—a petrified storm at sea, an ocean of sand. There Is nothing but sand, and It Is tossed by a ceaseless wind Into billows miles long that creep forward perhaps a foot a year, burying everything In their path. The wind tear* banners of flying sand from their crests as you look, releasing etsrtdes that go rum- btlng into the burning hollows.

Manure will show results for throe years, and its cost divided through this period will show a much lower cost per unit of plant food than any other fertiliser on the market Car Lots a Specialty Cars Average 33 Tons E ARE daily making shipments of this product into all sections of the country, and it is being received with entire satisfaction on account of its excellent qual ity Knd condition on arrival at destination. It contains no objectionable matter such as trash, dirt, obnoxious grass seeds, etc.; oat straw is the only bedding used, and the Manure naturally contains a small quantity, but not sufficient to make it objectionable. Asa matter of fact it is worth more than its weight, on account of its high value of potash, which makes it more valuable as a fer tilizer.
