TILLMAN TOUCH KD. - It. seems that a few remarks made by a Mr. Dabbs, in the House of Representatives a few tin 3'^ atfo, in the course of which lie referred to Senator Tillman, rather, harshly, has touched e Senator or, in other words, 0 ^enVlike them and wont' stand tliem. He is out in u hot interview in riie State of Tuesday. After remarking' that he doesn't know l)ab!>s, he branched ofT into a disquisition (or inquisition) iu nis usual vein, taking as his -??xt the omo with which lie is ui lost familiar, the uulioly com bi nation between the old bar i oom element and the proliibi lonists. In this interview he ?^Oidly asserted that but for a ? " ty bargain between the nine ineiiibers of the House fro.* 1 .'irleston, and the twenty-one ?Mt?iHbition members of that >o<ly, the Morgan bill would have Tfn dcfo?ted. This, we con ^ i- the wildest sort of talk t 1 he l?"ow that tke Charles ton members would have voted as a unit for anything that would jut, the liquor question on a sensi ble basis, and dosen'the further .enow that the prohibitionists will vote along the same lines, or any measure which in their udgment tends towards prohi bition? Of course he does, and o does every other sensible "mi. 1 he Senator then .goes on at considerable length to rasp t^e past, present, and it maybe future legislatures for sins committed since he loosed Alio i ems. As to this legislature, ?ie practically denounces it as <*r?ffc wood. There is not a shadow of doubt in our mind -Hat if Senator Tillman held a' ?""rb in the month of a majority of the members of this legishi ?ure, more and better legisla ; 'oil would be accomplished, As ; natters stand, he does not hold that curb so what is the good of Jjaking a fu is about it, he awav MP yonder in Washington, and f 0 ^??r benighted fellows down ^re left by him to get into in evitable Miischief, and we have Cotton into it sweetly. In conclusion, when asked if lie would ciuvuss the Stuto ou ? , W,Sey is8lle this summer, Ills reply whs, "I certainly will ?vhether the Morgan bill is pass ? <1 or not. " * Now, Senator, that wont do. e have a hussy notion that the J?o,> e elected yon United States Senator solely that yon might devote your talents there ?t Washington, leaving us of smal er brain caliber a show at State /unning ourselves. If we have Z '! ,fHilur" of U' P'e?se do not put the blame on the little fellows wo liavo been sending to f_ ? le8'sl'iture since you left us. They have simply been trying ?odo their duty iu their poor, ,r'C W"V,Witbou' you to guide hem. Naturally ?hey made mi. aires, and perhups are making t''?m "OW> !>ut we here should Aiot blame tliem, and you beinir . blame, shouldn t blame them cither. In explanation of the last re mark, we will say that accord ing to a great many |?eople, our -elves included, we believe that you renin ined orpongst us in ?ne or another high official ca "Mjlt y, maters would not now ,ln l,le lh ey are. True ?hi y?" rGU?a,ned> fetters of ,mf "Enable institution, the 'spe, isary would be now more! tf al ly binding, but ip the m?)n | [ i ?t?b Jects, sod splendid executive ability, coupled with the ver-f esseose of true patriotism in de eiloing to go higher when ycqt felt that your presence with us would better serre the State, wo believe that conditions here would be vastly different. How, Senator, if you are com ing down here this summer just to Italic lujuor, which question we mil handle without assistance from outsiders, come-down as a candidate for Governor. The people can elect some little fel low to the senate merely lo Keep your seat warm while you are getting as straight, after which you can call for the resignation of that little fellow we spoke of, the people will . return you to your old seat, and everybody will be happy. If it is not your inteation to do this tcing, and it is the right thing to do, then come and give us some straight talk on National affairs and let liquor alouc. Four ReitHOtiM for Breeding Pnrc Breed*. Why? Because ! Too much cannot be said on this subject. Years ago when chickens were just chickens and were supposed to contribute tive or six dozen of eggs iu a year, there was 110 such thing as funcy |>oultry to be found 011 the farms of the South. Today, with the regular line of advancement in agriculture, the breediug of a higher grade of all stock, many farmers have found out the many advantages and more profit in one of our thor oughbred breeds of poultry, and are giving this branch a good deal of study. TUey are begin ning to recognize that they have been losing time and money by plodding along in the old way with inougrel chickens. What more beautiful sight than a flock of fowls all of one shape, size and color, on a farm. It has been often said that the farmer depends too much on let ting fowls hunt out their own living, roosting wherever they, may, when for a few dollars he could build a nice hen house, en close a large space with wire nettiug, and by looking into the feeding a little more carefully, could have a greater increase in his egg yield, and therefore in crease his profits from the poul try. This increase would soon pay for the cost of house, wire and trouble given, and a stronger vitality thrown into his fowls. You should breed tl orough bred poultry. 1. Because you will be able to sell your poultry at higher prices than ever you did before. 2. Because they will give you a larger number of eggs than a a lot of mixed-up chickens would. Hence you will get more for them. y. Because they will dress neater, show a plump shape, und if only one kind is Kept, all wih dress up about the same, giving a pleasing aud better sell iug fowl. 4. Because a little money spent in advertising will sell the select ones that are nearer the ideal for a g;od price. In a short time you will build up a substantial trade. This cannot be done unless you have thor oughbred poultry. I have given only four rea sons why yon should get out breeding just any old chicken, but I could go on and give a dozen aud then not say half enough. I have visited several farmers, men who claimed to be breeders .of thoroughbred poultry, and been disgusted with the mixed lot of fowls on the place. When their attention was called to it they would say; "Well, I got that rooster from Mr. Brown and the hens from Mr. Smith," or whoever they may be, "and they win prizes every where they go on their poultry." To bring this out clearer: I saw a Ply mouth Rock cock bird (vory nice one, too), runinng with a fine lot of white Logjiorns, both, to be sure, pure bred and almost ideals of their kind, and the man ex pectiug to get thoroughbred chickens. How on earth could he do it, I liavo never found out, and never will ! This makes the mongrel that wo writers preach so much ugaiust. With u number of grand breeds of poultry we have today, some noted for heavy laying or large eggs, and others for fine shape after being dressed for market, any man can And one Kind that will give him more satisfaction and better results than by mix mgall the lots together. I hope to see the day that thorough bred, or fancy, poultry will be on every farm or yard in this country. --rSoutbern Poultry Courier. Man-Inge. Mr. B. C.

Tonn, Jiitt. 27th, 1906. Dear People s '.After eojoylog * few ?biff? from our old cob pipe and a long silence, we ttud oar goose quill peu and easy chair, and will try to pen a few dots for tbe dear People. . Although our nerves are a lit* tie Unsteady. The jug of corn licker winch we had hid behind the ash hooper;* having been con fiscated by our* wife, having tracked us through; the snow to its whereabouts. One .c$n bide his jug in the gimson weeds dur ing the summer and his fc^fe wont hunt for it, because ouv| wife iike all other of the female sect are afraid of snakes. Snow commenced failing Fri day and continued at intervals until Saturday night which left us six inches of snow. However today is clear, wa.*m and bright and the snow is fast disappear >Dg which will bring a season of mud and water. The winter here has been warm and uu comfortable. But three snows have fallen, the latter being the largest. Telford is a wide place in the road, with about 250 inhabi'-ence. Has oue Railroad, the Southern, formerly the East Tennesee & fia., runnin north and south. Bristol Tenn., & Va., being the terminous, intersecting the Nor folk & Western, and the Vir ginia & Western at Bristol. Telford has two dry-goods stores, oue grocery store, one drug store, oue doctor, one livery stable, two blacksmith and wood shops. Two roller flour mills, one saw mill, oue church of the Methodist sect, a great number of professed christians but few of the old time religion kiud. Telford is just now anticipiting a big Ooon. Washington Col lege?the oldest Presbyterian in stitution of learning iu Tenn., if not iu the South ? which was founded iu the seventeen litiu dred and eighties or muetics by the Rev. Prof. Samuel Doke, is in the near future to be moved to some railroad point, its pres ent location being two miles dis ent from Washington College Statiou, named iu honor of that institution. Telford has a fair and most probabie chance, it possessidg advantages of which the other place is destitute. Telford has already subscribed $5,000, the other place not a cent. Washington College before the war of 1861, was strictly a male institution. Sucli men as Tom R. Nelson Landon, C. Haynes, Nat Taylor, father of ex Gov. Bob Taylor, Bob Vance, and mauy other great statesmen hav ing finished their education there. Since its re organization about 1870, when it was consolidated into a mixed school, its career has not been so marked for pro gress and usefuluess. This move to some railroad point is the result of the promise of an endowment fund of $125, 000, providing it is moved; if not, not a cent from that source. This scheme has brought about intense excitement and alarm to the property owners at and near the old college, which, if moved, means a lot of inconve nience to them and a depre ciation of their property. Of course the old building and other buildings will not be torn down and moved, but new ones out and out will be built. Quite a profitable and hitherto unknown industry lifts sprung up in east Tennessee during the last two or three years, which is the cracking and marketing of walnut kernels. If wo were to say that thousand^ of pounds had been sold by the women and children at Telford alone, would be no exageration. They, for the bulk of the crop, brought 18 cents per pound. They" have now dropped to 12? cents per pound and good money can be made even at this seemingly low price. Now friendly reader don't think for a moment that this in dustry has sprang up and been resorted to by our people from sheer necessity, but quite to the contrary. It is only the family who own their land that can afford this luxiuy. The less for tunate sometimes lease a crop. I know ono family who own a line farm of 500 acres ahd have [everything that goes to make this life comfortable and happy, who cracked ond marketed this fall $48 worth. One lady a near neighbor of ours, Mrs. Dan Kyker, did her house work and cracked out an average of $5 per day which were then worth 18 cents por pound. There is an art, a knack in the way a walnut is cracked. To break the waluut from the sharp end into halves and quarters as the case will be or happen, then continue to break the quarters from the thick or sharp end al lowing the thin end to rest on block or rack as the caRe may be, then the kernel will come hut whole or nearly so, and in that way command a higher price. The walnut mn?t be iu proper rase. If too dry will crumble, if too damp the rind or skin of tfoe keryaj. will stlplf t q the interior of the walnut and spoil the market value of the keroal. '? f 1, would love very much to hear trow some of my South Carolina friends, readers of The People. Why do you not write? 1 have many friends aud acquain tances whom I learned to love -in Kershaw and other count ies iix< your state whom I urn doubty sure could if they wOhM-^vritd interestingly. s' I love old South v?#roltim und its people, I Mtf&r trfoveted m 21 different cdtiqtif*N-of your State and leart^d love its climate and-^eouW' * So w iftte something of your ftirnijtfterest of your last years' your prospects for the coming season of this 11)00. How many bales of cotton you raised aud what von pot for it Ac. And as to bow timuy bales you hope to raise this year, and as to bow many chickens or chucks your wife has aud how many eggs they have produced in a given time. Why, I kuow to a dot as to bow many eggs my wife's poul try have produced this month. She lias 35 bens and four roos ters, but of course the roosters doesn't lay. To date since Jan. 1st they have laid 31) H eggs which 33 dozen and 2 eggs were sold at 27, 25, 23 and 18 cents per dozen, the price now being 18 cents. Average those at 23? cents per dozen* Make the calculation for yourself and become interested. These small items which a .great many people are ashamed to let the world know that they do or do not turn their attention to go far toward keeping all the household expenses up. And a great many good ideas we learn ed from The People while it was in its youth, as a paper, on poultry raisiug, farm and gar den. My friends of old South Caro lina if we as patrons would onlv do our duty as such we would have in The People the l>est pa per to the square inch published in the South. If we would only appreciate it and show our ap preciation by sending aid aud en couragment to its editor. We cau contribute something in the way of au article ou some commodity or item of interest, evou though they 011 the start may not be perfect, but prac tice aud effort will beget interest till it will go easy. Of course the editor must be paid. Running a puper with an unpaid subscription I imiigine is like trying to cultivate a crop of cotton without feed for the mule. The mule will give out from ex haustion aud so will the editor. So here goes auother dollar on my subscription to The People, will yay the balance when I cau. Success lo the grand old Peo ple. S. H.
