The dissatisfaction has been going on for sometime, growing in volume, until it has assumed definite shape by the growers proposing to organize with a view of finding out where that wrong is and applying the remedy if there is one. Accordingly in pursuance to a notice published in the public prints a meeting of the truckers interested in this movement was held in the city hall last Saturday morning. Much enthusiasm and a great deal ol iuteiest was taken over the question of a more thorough organizaA : a 1 A. r * i i nun uu me jmn ui me snippers 111 thy proper handling and marketing of the crop and from the temper of the meeting it is safe to say that something will be doing in the way of organiKing an exchange through which the sales will hereafter bu made. An interesting letter was read from Mr 11. B. Wilkes, ol Chadbourn,describing the situation atthat point, and also one from Mr 1 M. Fleming, the organizer ..ad manager of the Georgia Fruit Exchange, showing the beutlits received by the shippers from that exchange duilag the past season with their peach crop. It was decided to m ake haste slowly until a larger and fuller meeting * could be had before taking i eliniie ac ion so it was agreed to hold another meet ng at the same place on Saturday, November 2()ih. at 3 p m. and each one present pledged himself to use his time and influence in interesting other growers and endeavor to get thcui to atten i this mteting and the outlook is that there will be a largeand enthusiastic me .'ting on that date. Among those resent were representatives from Cool Spring, Adrian and Home wood J , Toddvlllo TlJiinrs. Misses Kate and Mary Oliver was in town mis weu< visiting relatives. The birthday dinner given by Mrs U. A. Dusenbury in honor of her daughter, Mrs J. l'\ Harper, was well attended and Mrs Harper was the recipent of many valuable presents. The Toddville Literary Society debated the question last Tuesday evening, Resolved: "That the Degro should oe exported from the United States of America." Tt was agreed that Mr A.M. Dusenbury shouid decldo the question, who after hearing the argument, announced his decision in favor of the aflirmative. Mr Rhaark's arraininenfcut the negroes J was terrific. He referred to them as the cousins of the baboon, apes J and monkeys The negro js' are a menace to civilization, said Mr Rhuark, and the Immigration i ...?11 ~ I. * i i...

They contended thatthe work of Commissioner Watson was a farce, and the great cotton crop can only bo gathired br negroes. They admitted that the negroes were only imitators, out w*rc a necessary evil which the country could not get along wi i.out. The protracted meeting which has boon very ably conducted bj the pastor, Rev O N Rountree, at Union church lor the past week has closed. A great deal of Interest was manifested throughout the meeting and Mr Rountree has added twenty two names to the membership of k the church. Mr Rountree isatireless worker and it seems to be the unanimous wish of our people that ho be returned to us again next year. M** Harry RhuarU left Tuosday for Columbia to utteud the Slate Fair.

On last Sunday I attended 'church at Eden, near Myrtle Beach, and as I was returning to my home, uot very far from the church I saw s >me on 3 lying in the road just uhoadofme. 1 did not know what was the matter with him and as drew near, i saw that ho was under the influence of strong drink. I went on further and I had not. gone but a short distance, when 1 saw six more young men bunched up in the road cui sing- and swearing. 1 saw two of them with their kuivts tlying to cut each other. Young men please take warning and don't bo guilty of such again. Ihink of your mother and father at home, who are praying for you. How do you suppose your poor mother would have felt if she had known you were in such company. C one on young men and lets ail work together for our Master.

The Herald: lt? reply to Mr Durman's article ?F last week 1 will say that as lontf as lie is satisfied with my statement that the "secret formula" lias been declared a fraud and will not investigate it himself, trying to make me furnish the burden of proof, why should 1 try to enlighten him? I am not running an experiment station nor alii 1 liaid tn 'h?sr'?iho it m? hi'jur on any fertilizer. Having read in different agricultural papers the exposure of this fraud 1 merely vviotoitasa warning to the farmers of the county of whom 1 am one. 1 have been told that the chemicals of this formula costs about $1 00 and you take and you mix them with Jirl and it instantly becomes worth ;2f) 00 (so the ad says ) Aint that the limit? Fertilizers are a substitute for homo made manure and a poor one too, and 1 hope that all farmers will go into the business of making all the manure they can at borne, take good care of it, saving all the liquid, as that is the best part of the manure. Put it in the land as soon as made if possible, if not let the animals keep it tramped down and never pile manure up, as that lets the ammonia, tho costliest part of fertilizer, escape. 1 have not said anything against Mr Dorman and will not open any controversy in the paper. 1 enclose Prof JViassey's letter to me for the benefit ol the farmers of the county. Let him that hath ears hear. Yours truly, Geo Dickson. "George Dickson, Esq,, Conway, S C., "Dear Sir: "It seems that the Lipps fraud has run its course in North Carolina and has emigrated to South Carolina. This is a hoary fraud that I Iiji vi' i'\ nnsf.(l n rh.vur. t.imna T nnl>. lished his entire recipe in the Clirislian Advocate in Greensboro, N. C., a dcz.m years ago, and then he look out a patent to make the farmers think that the government endorses him when it does nothing of the sort, for you can take out a pat ent on any mixture you please and claim it for yourself. The patent does not endorse the valuo of the mixture, but simply gives the patentee the control of it. "1 know all about the mixture and know that it simply enables the farmer to waste the larger part of the manure he uses. Tne farmer who knows nothing of chemistry, 11 tiding that what they have left has some rnanurial value, give the fraud an endorsement and innocently draw their neighbors into the net This man Lapps, who calls himself 'Professor" has never been a professor anywhere, nor is he a chemist, but he has gotten thousand of dollars out of the pockets of the North Carolina farm* rs with his false statements. Tne amazing thing about it all is that farmers will | pay for a rec pe that wastes their manure, when they can get proper advice free from the Experiment Station. Put Lipps tells them that the Station officers are in league w\th the fertilizer manufacturers, and they believe him rather than the men who are paid to help them, and thev eo on VPai' J1 f t <?V 1 year enriching a fraud. The agents that Lipps employs are usually innocent men wljo believe him and do not realize that for a little money they are deceiving their neighbors, and helping a man who has for years been simply fooling them "Simply tell Mr Dorman to sub mit his recipe to the Chemist of the South Carolina Experiment Station at Clemson College aud learn what he will tell him. or let him send the chemisi a sample of the mix Lure and then tell the farmers what it is worth per ton. He will lind that it is not only not worth as much as a $20 comineicial fertilizer but is not, worth $5 per ton either His patent now prevents my publishing the recipe, but 1 did publish it in full be* fore he patented it, and showed then that it. costs the farmer far more tftan it is worth, and I have denounced the fraud in the Practical Farmer, the Progressive Farmer, the Cnristian Advocate and in my book Crop Growing and Crop >A : - ;MBER 4, iso9 Court Common I'lcas.
