Adams Bun, S. Oct 27—Editor
Press and Standard: It is time, I
think for me to make the acquain
tance of oar new editor. I wonder if
he has a welcome for me, thoogh I
am so seemingly negligent in pre
senting myself to him.
Pressure of bnsiness most be my
excuse, and lack of news worthy of
being presented to the pnblio, and—
most 1 really confess it? I wanted to
see if any one would miss me and in’
quire ior me. “One” did and soothed
my wounded vanity, and I shall ever
retain a warm place in memory’s
casket for the inquirer.
Cold weather has returned to us,
bolidsvs are over, work has began in
earnest, so correspondents come to
the front, and let us hear from you*
I miss the bright and interesting
letters. “Country Cousin,” the
laithful one, pats ns to shame lor
being so regular with her communi
cations. Let all write now, like good
children.
Our town was well represented at
the State Fair, Messrs Rumph,
Brown, Havenel and Box, attended,
and judging trom their bright faces
they had put in a good time. (By the
way, they had left the Mesdames at
home or they would have enjoyed the
fair more.)

May God comfort the bereaved
parents in this sorrow.

to welcome this faithful correspond

C. brant LMecusaea Stock Law.
To the qualified voters of Colleton
County: Yes we owe a duty to our* i
selves, our children, our neighbo r
and his children, our country, and
our God and if we could get self out
of the way we could see our duty to
others, and no doubt vote more intel
ligently on questions that relate to
our interest
1 am for the exemption and have
never been otherwise, the idea of high
price beet and but little of it, canses
me to be more in favor of an exemp
tion that will protect both classes of
our people, that juicy beefsteak that
we have in our section of the county,
raised on the fine* summer grass of
our section of the county where stock
run at large, satisfies our people that
we are not ready lor stock law that
encloses our stock in small lots and
pastures. I wish my good friend, J
1) Ackerman, oould have taken break
fast with ms this morning. I oould
have given him a sample of the fine
steak that we have up at Sniders
raised in the woods, and we get any
part of the beef delivered at oar door
for five and six cents per pound and
never costs us over seven par pound
and great droves of cattle are taken
from oar section every year to help
supply Orangeburg, Bamberg and
Barnwell counties with beef, also
Charleston and Columbia getj a car
load occasionally, and our people
realise a profit by raising cattle that
ran at large and they know it
That’s why they want the exemption
law that will protect us and help ns
to not only raise plenty of good Jcheap
beef for our homes, but to help to
satisfy the apptttU of the gooS pioplt
that live in tbs stock law oonntiss,
where beef is high and almost as
scarce as hen's teeth, tohy do these
people oome down into the exempted
portion of OoHston county for beef
csttls if its cheaper to raise them in
stock law? Mr Ackerman sa>s that
only selfish men want to interfere
with others rights, and that stock at
large is a corse, and a nuisance to
any community. Now I don’t know
who Mr Ackerman refers to as being
•elfish and interfering with other
people’s rights. Most assuredly ite
not we people around Sniders, for we
don’t object to anybody grazing stock
on onr uninclosed land. Neither do
we want to interiere with the rights
of any person. We believe that God
preated the grass in the woods for onr
stock to eat^ and we think that we
have a constitutional right to fence
ourselves into one big pasture, and if
we do so at onr expense, we are not
interfering with the rights of others,
and if we should have a selfish stock
law man inside the exemption we can
fenoe off from bim or them and not
touch their land either. Now stock
at large may be a curse to some
communities, but it’s not so with us,
it’s a blessing to ns, it helps ns to
have plenty of beef for home ok and
some to sell to our friends stock
law counties. Stock law means with
with most of farmers one oow, sbnt
np in a lot or tied out to the stake
with no calf. It’s very little beef for
s lot of people and none at all for
some folks. Bettor not try stock law
yey awhile. We mast drain onr
low lands and get more land into
cultivation, and then to raise stock
we must fence onr lands, and then
stock law may suit u« better, buc not
now. The firming interest is not
emenmbered in this community by
stock rnnning at large.

. Editor Press and Standard: It
seems that the people of the South
have become, by some canse, a dis
satisfied people, and why? Is it for
the sake of greed or speculation. Is
it that they do not make a sufficient
living? Is it the lack of Christian
faith? Is it Lucifer turned loose for a
little season for a vexation of the
spirit? In the spring time we see
the farmers running to and fro*
borrowing money, putting in supply
bills, baying fertilis rs to such an
extent, as though the world was to be
at an end, and that it was the last
year to live it. I wonder if they ever
count the cost. Experience has
taught that when commercial ferti
hzert are used to an extent year after
year that there will have to be an in
crease of it used in order to produce
the required results. Experts say
that three hundred pounds per acre
on ordinary good land is enough, aud
is all that the growing truck will
take, (that is for cotton aud corn)
put at the proper time for the bear
ing of the fruit, and any more than
that will run the track to too mach

| THINK MORE—SPEND LESS |
WHY is it that the average man ia
worth ao much less in money and
property than we have a right to ex

It isu’t because he doesn’t moke
the money, for the average man is ks-
dustrionsjand has earned from
to $15,<-00 in the past ten years It is
because be doesn’t give much serious
thought either to his income or to bto

him the true value o'a dollar; them
he would spend carefully and aiva
