Reports that war risk rates hud been temporarily suspended pending t'-o adjustment of- a now and higher .schedule seetried to bo largely respon sible for some scattered selling dur ing the early trading. Liverpool did not fully nteet yesterday's advaucc here, and after opening unchanged to 4 points lower, the local market sold about 4 t-o 5 points under lust night's close. L#ocal traders appeared to find little to indicate that the expected advance in war risks would cause any material check in tho export movement, how. ever, and tho market soon steadied Stocks and Bonds.

On the daughters birthday the pious old mother presented, hor with a Bible, and told her to live as near up to everything it said as.she could. One Sunday afternoon upon entering the parlor door, the mother was very much surprised and shocked to Und her daughter perched upon a young man's knee, kUslng him repeatedly, and calling him a lot of endearing names. The old mother was obliged to reproach the young lady for this very unlady-llko act. "Why mother, exclaimed the girl, I am only ful filling the scripture. You know you told me to do what the Bible says, as near as I can. Now don't you remem ber one place In . the book " which says, a s ye would have men do unto you, do ye also unto them;" so why are you scolding mo mother?

It's a delight, r OOOOOdOOOO o o o FROM SEPTUS. o 0 o OOOO?COOOO Never liave we seen the people of this section ?o much wrought up over any question as they are over the at tempt of the Anderson chamber of commerce, with the help of our pre sent legislative delegation to saddle upon the already tax-ridden people of thia county. A seven hundred "nd fifty thousand dollar bond indebted ness and Mr. Kdltor Uncle Hube Ib in the fight loaded for bear and don't you forget it. Yes, every gun is full to the muzzle with everything from u roll of barb wire to the contents of a blacksmith shop, and when old man bond issue ?tirU? hl? head on on the :i(lth day of .March, we are going to j fill his coat tail so full of holes that 1 bis own folks will hardly know him when they see iitm again, and they will decide that the old man bus been blown through a ten acre plum or chard by a Kansas cyclone, judging from his "frazzled" and dilapidated appearance. Here are farmers in Anderson county who have just passed through the shortest crop year ever known to them, and being forced to take star vation prices for their cotton. Tltey are going to ha\fa to deny their poor wives and children of some of the necessaries of life in order to pay the taxes already imposed upon them and now heres a set of men who ab solutely Ignore the deplorable finan cial conditions of our people and are wanting to place a still greater burden of taxation upon them. We know who it is that's going"to come out at the big end of the horn In this deal. We know that it is the rich bond holder, together with the bankerB of Anderson county and that high sal aried commissioner that's going to rake in right around three dollars for themselves while we get one for good roads. In order to keen the bankers from falling out and fighting among them selves over that good "sinking fund" pie that they ore to get at four per cent interest, it has already been ar ranged for them to d?vide the pie ac cording to their capital stock. Some will get only one slioe, while some will get three or four, and it will cost ub poor devils from ten to twelve per cent to even get to. lick the pan. Uncle F.<ube, if by your vote you place yourself on the losing Bide of this kind of a skin game, then let's run a hog wire fence around the whole county and call at the lunatic asylum and then for those wise Greenville county legislature members to come over and superintendent!. the whole push. They are not needed over there no way since by their actions they Bay that the Greenville county voters haven't sense enough to knot.' whether they need a million dollp.r bonded tub-btedness hanging over them or not. , . While in Anderson last Saturday, a one-horse preacher whose brains is not in keeping with the size of his mouth, was heard to say that its the poor man with little or nothing to pay taxes on that's fighting this bond issue the hardest. Now we want to inform this reverend gentleman that the poor man is paying taxes oa all of the property that ho owns, and that is a darn sight more than some of tho rich man of the county nre doing.' and If he wants the proof he can get tt on- application. If tho bond issue was a good thing and should-carry, please tell us who had the - right to name the already named commission to handle seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars of our money? Have the voters of this county not a constitutional right to name, the men who are to handle and manage the finances of tho county? Why could not the county commis sioners already elected by tho peoplcf do the work that's to be done by the new appointed commissioners and thus save '.he cost of one'set? - Tills kettle of fish don't look good to us, In fact, It looks like an attempt to give political reward for political work done in .the past. Farmer; of Anderson county. If you do not want to see a debt put over your beads that you: and perhaps your children will never see paid, then get in the fight, carry the flag to the top of .the breast works, and if it falls remember that there are others who will take it up and see that it does not frail 'in the dust.' We are ever reminded that debt is bad for an individual,' if so thon why is it not' also bad for a county, State or nation? If debt is good, for a county, then it is equally as good tor the Individual, if not why. hot? Tom Watson of Georgia, (and thank goodness the right thinking pooplo of this section are reading after Uncle Tom,) told ns in The Jeffersoniau a ' year ago to watch our chambers of commerce, and since the good book tells us to watch: a? well ' ub pray, Uncle Rube Is keoplng his'eyes open. Tho Anderson Chamber of Com merce can swallow the Anderson County Farmers Union blood-raw, but we are not going to swallow every hook baited by it and thrown out to us. ' Oh! yes, some will ?*y tn*' we are non-progressive, and that ve are fighting good roads. Not a bh, of It. Wo are as ranch in ??-cr of iht m a;: any one. but we favor n direct taxa tion .with winch to build them. , >et a tax be placed on' every .vrofk at tmal, every automobile and . every piotor 1 cycle. That will raise money equal '. to the interest on Ute proposer < bond j issue, and we are eure that tb Is will be enough till we get through ?xperi men ting at least and when T/e fall I through somo of the experiments as we are sure to do, let's no', be in debt for them. As to falling down on the experiments, we respectfully refer to that piece of road west of Anderson, built under the supervision of the United States government, add which ! was hub deep and still sotting deeper the last time We heard from it. The condition of this piece of road was put up to a bond issue enthusiast of An derson a few days ago and he got around It by saying that in that case they u?ed 80 per ccut clay and 20 per cent sand, when It should have been 20 per cent clay and o<) per cent sand.1 Alright, then let's Bee. And that piece of road at the rail road croBB?ng In North Anderson. It looks like 95 per cent ?and might havj I been used, yet in going to Anderson sometime ago we had' to quit the road there and go u back street in order to I get In to town. Now who knows what per cent of sand to use? No we have | got to experiment some, and we don't need seven hund.'ed and fifty thousand dollars with which to do it. And now if we are wrong in the stand that we have taken against the bond issue, we are open to conviction, und to those who want the job of setting us right, we want to as3ure them in advance that we arc from Missouri, and will have to be shown.

MaUison, deceased, that they,may 'bo and appear before me, in the Court Cotton and Corn We are recommending our 8-2J-i, which is 8 per cent, phosphoric acid, 2i per cent, ammonia, and one per cent. Potash, for cot ton and corn. We employ a chemist at the Fertilizer Mill all the time to analyze every thing before it goes out, to see that all our goods are at least as good as they should b? hofnr/3 fVioir nrp cVi?rvrv?H Oilf ?inH Ol IT* 8-2 A-1 ? .' * v_y i w b ? ?

Mr. Long, the farm demonstrator for the State, says the farmers of this section can make at least one good crop without applying any more potash. But it sometimes happens when you install a pump in a well, it is necessary to pour a little water down it to get it to pump water, and we have an idea that a little pot ash in your fertilizer will make that in your soil a little more quickly available. And then you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have some potash under your crops be cause you have put some there, and safety first is the plan. So we are earnestly recommending our 8-2 J-l for your cotton and corn this year. You are really getting, 9.25-2.72-1.45, but that is your good fortune. The most of you have been fertilizing heavily for some years and we are satisfied this goods will give your crops a good "send off." It is a choice goods.
