v --rw
TELLS WHY HE REACHED
THIS DECISION
??' . '.
TIME !S NOT Rirki
Wants To Avoid Factionalism and ?
? Will Make Race When That
Has Subsided
People of all the Third Congres
sional district have been much inter
ested for the luvt few months in the
report that A. H. Bagnall, one of the
best known members of the Anderson
bar, would make the race for congress.
Sometime ago Mr. Bagnall admitted
that he was giving the race serious
consideration and might run and since
that, time it has been generally .pre
Bumed that be would be found contest
ing ror the seat,, along with Mr. Ai
ken. Mr. Dominick and Capt. Evans.
However, Mr. Bagnall yesterday tall!
The Intelligencer:that he had defi
nitely decided not to ron, and the
the following ls what be had,to aay on
the subject. ft
"After carefully considering the
matter,. I have decided not to bdua
candidate for congres at this time:!
Some of my friends havb been kind
enough to tell me that my chances
arc good and that I should now make <
ihn race. No one can foretell tho out
come of a political campaign, and II
do not mean by my decision to atAy
out of politics that 1 am afraid of de
feat. My preference is to remain in!
private life until factionalism is dead!
in South Carolina. It would bo un
kind of me to attempt to go to con
gress by encouraging class hatred,
and no ?oif-rnanerting man could af
ford to bo elected by the "coat-tall-,
swing" method.
"1 have given some study to na
tional issues, and, had I entered the
race, I would have advocated on the
platform tome measures, which, lu
my opinion, would have been of'bone
fit to the people ot the district.. I be
lieve that the people can- be better
served by having a representative in
congress who will use his influences
to have wise laws enacted, rather
than by one who spends ht? energy In
securing a few jobs for hts friends,
and ecattering worthless garden aeed
indescrlmlnntely over the district."
Mr. Bagnall facetiously said:
"At a later time, when factionalism I
is on the wane, and when government!
garden seed fall to sprout, I may be
come a candidate !for congress."

Rights, Mot to Collect Billa

trustees of tho sellout district, J. M. i
Paget and -I. L. Sherard, conferred I
with H. H. Watkins, representing the 1
Southern Public Uti'liles company yes. 1
terday, and almost immediately ar- '
r'ved at an agreement, practically the
saino thing that Capt. Watkins sub? 1
milted to tho board of trustees last 1
Friday. Had a consultation been held J
at that time, the city schools would not 1
have had to close tor two days for
u lack of water,. Tho issue is as to
whether the company has a right to
charge for water.
The company positively ia not sue
ing for /-the collection of the water
rent, it is stated, but agrees to make
a test case of Its rights. In the'origi
nal proposition, the company suggest
ed that If the trustees did not wish
to pay the bill and denied the right i
or the company to collect under their]
contract g with the city, they should j
bring the sun. Tim company has in-1
sisted ali along in getting the matter (
by law, if the board Insisted uh Its- ?
stand in the matter.
An agreed statement of facto was
signed, and this is about t'.ie same <
thing thai the company requested in
its former communications. In this
agreed statement, the phrase "set out"
means to "ellminiate" as being con
ceded. This it will be sevn from the
following that the trustees .emphatic
ally do not attack the validity of the
company's .franchise or the contract
with the etty,' but stand upon their be- '
lier that the schools are entitled to i
water under the former contract un- (
til the bid contract would have ex- .
plred:

i ?u-r crop will he largely made or marred Un the months 01 May anp
June, lr you get it started off growing" nicely sn these tnonths, giVtW
good preparation you stand a very much better chance of makittjgjjg
?O(H1 crop and your crop will stand adverse conditions, beii?r in JUjgSJj
and August. .., jBH
lt ?i pig gets stunted iii its cady youth, it is almost impossiblnyf^fl
make a good rousing hugiout of it later. If your cotton is stunted. ?H
if it gets sore s'nin or any of the other ailments io which cotton rs^UH
ble, it has to recover from this before lt can take on its natural grow*SM
and it never does as well as it would if it had not suffered these trdjH
hies. Side dressing, by supplying plant food, makes this plant vigoH
ous and healthy and strong and regrows ott.from the start, li ;.W
break your arm and set it, and get it properly set and properly knifufl
together, il is never as strong as before it was broken. "A bird wl?H
a broken st ing never soars so high;again."
And so it is with your cotton. Karly attention and early. fertiU"^B
lion ?s more than half of the battle. There is no question of ii?!
dressing paying. You notice what top dressing-did for grain ??B
spring; as soon as the top dressing was administered, the arain cacW
out of the kinks, and if you administer side dressing to your cofioinflB
will come out. of. the kinks. The preparation for a crop has li
unusually line this spring, and where the preparation is linc the faf^H
lng is good, and side dressing is bound to pay.
Some farmers have found side dressing unprofitable; thntis hdsaaB
it utas applied too late; it should be applied early, as soon as you brjffl
your cotton to a stand, because you do not care to sitte dress colt?
that you are going to cut out: abd as soon as you get the grass out 9
your coiion. because you do not care to side dress g;iss; grass talon
care of itself in a crop if let alone. As soon as this .s done, theu tff|
side dressing should be applied and you are not going to apply t<f 2
much of it. Up to a few years ago France used more fertiliser thiH
tlie whole United States of America and they did not use it all at ontj I
either. The French fanners make very fine crops. J S
In a few years people will wonder. why wc use so little, fenilr
now in making crops. Joel Key told the writer? of a Mr, Rogers dd
In Florence County who' side dressed his cotton ?very time he 4 l?
vated it, and when he wound up cuUivatjng his crd'p, he had I i|
about t8oo pounds of fertilizer to th? acre, and when, he wbunr)
gathering his crop, he had gathered 880 pounds of liut colton td ]
acre; not seed cotton-lint cotton, two bales weighing 440 poi V
each to the acre. Now, If this is not 'profitable, the most of ust
better quit farming. v V~--if
Sir*e dressing your cotton'prevents disease to.which cotton is liable
because it is stronger and better able to withstand-, these troubles. lt
is stronger because it-is better fed. A well ted pig or a wen fed ertha
can resist disease better than a little stunted child or pig.
Then, when a man's cotton crop grows oft' well, when it is green,
and greasy and growing, it makes him feel better, lt encourages hi
to work it better and he will have a better crop. Then, too, a man
feels his oats a little more with a good crop than he does otherwi:
it gives him better credit and lt gives him bett?r standing
his community having a good crop of green, greasy gro
ing cotton, '-than having a little yellow, rusty, $ui\i
bumble bee cotton. The time is past, when a man can
lain his respbctability and^grow bumble bee cotton. Some pc<J^H
complain that they cannot get their b nds to side dress crops, but^H
Mr. RogersNlia'd no trouble of that sci. He is like the centurion
spoken of in the Good Book; when he tells man to.do. a. thing li
does it. 1. .......

Now, suppose you lise -loo. potuui-t, j**?:
You will have 128 ounces of ammonia; half:of this has-been ta
by the rains, the grass and cotton you have taken out, so you "4N^H
have about 64 ounces of ammonia and you have 14,700 cotton
to fertilize with this OA ounces of amm?rii?. The* wonder is thai
little fertilize/ will make suth a difference in the crop*. You can
this din'erenee by comparing a held fertilized, with! a held of ?<fl^H
that is not fertilized. You will come-to the conclusion that fertilizer};
men are giving, you good goods qr so,little would not ma^e sue

As your cotton grows, your fertilizer is absorbed and used up, and ?
along iii July and August yoor cottan is putting! .on? its, fruit, : and |
when this is going on the strain oiv.thi^Uoivpiiqt ls.greatesi. ^
just at the time when the strain is greatest, -the supply of? plant food, ?
which is already reduced, is weakening, so just as the strain h '
ing by the additional fruit that the stalk takes on, just at the time wi
your niant is hungering and thirsting for p?ni food, ?oi Si?5??r^??S5
you might say, for vittles, as the uart panteth after tire water bti^H

etec can it do? When your farm work ls heavi?s?..on the mules,
increase the food and then they do not hold their own; suppose^^H
did not increase their, food when you increased their work;*would
you expect them to.shed too?
In. every contest for com or cotton that has been entered Into
years past, the one. who got.the prize side dressed his crop and n:
than once. Thereis.no accident about this; it it a conseijuen?c^ A
man does not.stand a ghost of a,chance iOf'getting the, prize in a,$ipjp?
contest who does not sida dress.
In 1.91.1 this county made the biggest cotton crop it.has ev^ grown
and there was more side dressing used, than ever. That was not
cident, cither; it was another, consequence. You do not expect to
give your mule enough ?corn and oats Monday morning to last it urrti?
Saturday instit; and you have no notion of glvhtg it enough c?rn'ahd
oats and water in April to last it until October, but that is what you t?o^
when you fertilize your cotton in April and expect lt |o feed a crop un
til it matures in October.
In a man's farming, his cotton crop is his nioney crop--his wa<
making a proht and he only makes or.e cotton crop a yean That be
ing the case, it will pay him to nurse Iiis crop, feed it, look after it. it
has been estimated that fdr every 4oUar a man spends in fertilize
Sets back ?3.60, leaving him a clean, clear profit of $2.0o on everv
ollar he spends for fertilizer. ' The Profit is creater than th
dressing, because in side dressing the crop gefs every ounce of fertili
zer, where it gets not over half of that which is applied when the ero?
ls planted.
Few people realize the value of side dressing andJhe profit ?
If they did, wc feel sure they would find farming very much rn-,
