Lewis Lee, about fifty peoSle assembled in the court house last louday at noon to dLcnss the fertilizer situat ion and to confer together on matters affecting the farmers' financial interests and enlarge ideas on farm'management. President J. Lewis Lee called the meeting to order, with Socr'y U. A. Duseubury at his desk, and made an impressive talk, andsceinto be some what discourage3 at the apparent indifference of some farmers in the meetings of the Union. He thought the farmers had sense enough to kuow what they want and it was now time to act as the fertilizer business was a burniug question affect ing every farmer. lie went further and said that in his opinion the fertilizer trust had bought or controlled some members of the Legislature in their votes. Instead of the Legis ature turniug over our phosphate rock for the pitiful sum of 25 cents per ton that the farmers use this rock themselves as a fertilizer. Ho thought the rock could be ground lorvz uu per ton after being mined. Mr. Lee thought it quite proper for the farmers to interest their representatives in the Legislature, or at least tell them what we want. Ho favored a reduction in the cotton acreage. tlon. John P. Durham, iu his usual forceful way, made one of his best speeches. He was not as well posted on thp fertilizer business as he would like to be. Any one had a right to dig phosphate rock who would pay the State25 cents per ton. A great deal of our fertilizer is dug by private parties. The Virginia'arolina Co. control the market as they can manage the price of fertililer and practically name the price at /vhich the smaller indejeudent companies has to sell. The people should organize and not use too much feitilizer and this would benefit both merchant and farmer, He favored township organization. The farmers should sell their cotton as long as they have o ^ligations to meet and when their obligations were cancelled, then do what they please with their cotton. .People should bo very careful when trading on credit. He himself had bought supplies on time which he could have done without. He strongly adyocated curtailing in buying. A great many corporations have lawyers representing them in the Legislature. He said that if the State could save the i>eople money by going in the fertilizer business, we ought to engage in it. He strongly advocated any means that would benefit the farmer as he is the backbone of the world. A.M. Dusenbury thought we were up against a hard proposition as the fertilizer business was a hard problem to solve and suggested as a solution that the farmers establish a cotton seed oil mill at Conway where they can exchange seed for meal and let the mill be'run as a benefit to the farmer and not as a money making scheme. He^further suggested that the Legislature revoke the charter of the fertilizer trust?known as the Virgiuia-Carolina Chemical Co?and thus put the trust out of business. He seemed to think that this would be a great benefit to the people. P. James Elks, of Socastee, regretted to see the farmers neglected. He had done without fertilizers for (l s turcu vears una juuging irom dis experience, he thought it a good plan. He vvas of the opinion that it does not pay to use commercial fertilizers and agreed with Mr. Lee as to the phosphate beds. I Several others made short talks. J. Lewis Lee, Evan Graham, W. J. Sessions and P. J. Elks were appointed a committee to draft rules for the Horry Farmers' Union, Resolutions Passed by BucksportI Church. Whereas, our beloved pastor, the Rev. W. S.

A negro workman by the name of Josh Wright shot engineer George Lyon near Pine Island last Friday, the bullet passing through the man's thigh and crushing the thigh bone. Lyon was sitting down when the negro approached and with a deadly threat drew his pi&tjl and tired. It is said the ball struck a pocket knife in the engineer's pocket or the wound would probably have been more serious than it is. The negro ran as soon as he fired the shot and has not been seen since, though the authorities are looking for him. There had been some trouble the week before, the negro being very unrulv and Dad tempered. As a result he was discharged. lie is described us being 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, weighs ubout 160 pounds, is very black, with whitli teeth, thin lips, long chin, and his clothes when last seen was dark coat and blue overalls, wears about a No, 0 shoe.

The managers of the John II.Sparks' I Show claim that they have the highest class, cleanest and best exhibition of I .7. - the kind traveling. Twelve years of experience, with ample capital and intelligent management have combined to produce this result. That their claims are well founded seem to be proven by the following extracts from late newspapers. The Mount Vernon "Daily Banner" says: "Tho John H* Sparks, Show exhibited here Wednesday, and many people were turned away, the big tents being packed at each performance. This was no doubt owing to the popularity which this show has achieved hero on previous visits. They more than sustained their reputation, as the show Is even better than ever. It has been considerably enlarged, with many new acts and features, and all were excellent Mr. Sparks will have to enlarge his seating capaciity if he comes to this city again. The Hillsboro, Ohio, "NewsHerald." says:uThat the show was up to the usual Sparks standard would alone be a strong recommendation,' but it was roally better than ever before.' They have "squaro deal',' rVTphtation hero,And the orowd that tested the capaoity of the tents is the best possible evidence that the people of this vicinity know a good thing when they see it." / ' The Barnesville "Enterprise" says "Great crowds hugely enjoyed the two performances given by the Sparks' Show last Monday. The show has had quite a growth since it was here before, anb it is generally agreed that it is the best exhibition of the kind that ever came to Games ville." W ? ^ A part of the Herald's new plant has been ordered and is now on its way to Conway. I t BDAY DECEMBER (i DELIGHT FUI.

There is no sickness to report that the writer is aware of Crops are about harvested in this section. Dear Kditor, 1 do not mean to get on any one's toes at al'. but 1 don't believe in correspondents reporting so much visiting. As a general thing when a correspondent 's letter comes out in the Herald it is full of visiting, and 1 don't think there h much reality in it. Some might say, Why? Simply because there is no good accomplished by it. It don't do mo any good to read it and it don't do them any good to write it. Because some one come to see. me 1 do not want everybody to know it, especially the whole county. We should not be so much concerned about the way the world is going. I think we should be more concerned about our soul's salvation than what we really are, so when we write an article that fills up the paper, let us Pill it up with something that will do us good and others good, too, for if we need anything it is something that svill do us good. We aro having a very nice Sunday school at Pleasant Meadow under the superintendency of our beloved Brother, P. P. Coats, who is a faithful worker in this branch of the Lord's service. We will have preaching at Pleasant Meadow in the year of 1007, on the first Sunday aud the Saturday before by our dearly beloved pastor. Rev, J. W.Todd, the ono who has done so much for us for the last two years. One of our beloved brethren, W. H. Holt, attended the Association at Union Valley Baptist church and reports having had a very good time We are looking for the next session of> the Association to come to Pleasant Meadow whieh wo n*?n very glad to learn it will do so.
