They did it cheerfully with out, reward, and at great financial sacrifice. It is not'expected that the few lawyers at thia bar should beef the entire burden.' It is Impossible for them to do it this time, even if they tried. They could not fill out the questionnaries by devoting their en tire time to the work for thrde months. The business men and farmers of the county can do thia work an as thw lawyers ran, And shouldn't they help? As chairman of the Legal Advisory Board. I here by call on the men of Colleton coun ty. frqm every voting precinct in the county, to volunteer to give at least one day in each week to this work. I will call the volunteers together and explain the questionnaries so that any man of average education and intelligence can attend to it as well as a lawyer can. It is not com plicated nor difficult. I ask that every man who is will ing to help write me to that effect AT ONCE. I will then announce the exact plan of prooeedure. If the men of Colleton refuse to volunteer, then I shall be forced to ask the government to require it of such men as I shall name. It would be humiliating to us all to resort ’o compulsion. The lawyers will continue to de vote their time to the work. We only want others to help. Don’t put this matter aside, de pending on others to volunteer. Do it yourself. Write to me by the first mail. It is vour duty. Respectfully, M. P. HOWELL. Chairman Legal Advisory Board School Will Surelv Begin on Monday Chairman M. P.

I have had a poor response. I can secure seed wheat and oats direct from farmers for vou, yet most seem to prefer to buy seed from sources where they know noth ing about the origin of seed.
