A good iron pump costs less than a case of typhoid fever. We still have anarchists in this country. butthey call them selves the Industrial Workers of the World. "One may be a staunch Dem ocrat and love Roosevelt still." says the Columbia State. But he won't be still. Governor Blease's coat must be made of good stuff, judging by the number of office seekers I who are reported as swinging on to its tails. A veil for women has been in vented so shape4 that it fits snugly under the- chin without any fastening to retain it. The inventor was just a man. Governor Blease has appoint ed a man named Boozer as col onel on his staff. "This is not a josh; it is a fact," says The Anderson M a i 1. - Augusta Chronicle. Recently the Mexican con gress made Huerta a full gen eral in the army, according to a news item. We have been un der he -impression all along .. he was always full. A perusal of Georgia news papers leads us to believe, if the primary in that state don't soon come off, that south Geor gia will secede from the bal ance of the state-politically. The Good Book tells us to make friends of the "mammon 1 of unrighteousness," by which is generally meant money, but 1 somehow Old Mr. Mammon won't speak very loud or often ] to us. Porfirio Diaz, former presi- I dent of the Mexican republic, says he does not want to go back to Mexico. Can youi blame him? He is 84 years of< - a~:ge and ist'aking a rest cure ati Monte Carlo. American invasion of Mexico will accomplish one good thing1 for Vera Cruz, at least. Our government is cleaning it up so that in the future it will not be known as one of the yellow fever ports.~ If Nelson O'Shaughnessy had not got out of Mexico when he did he would probably have had1 to come home in a barrel. As it was, the Greasers took all of his clothe; except those he and his wife were wearing on the trip home. Mr. Richard O0ney, secretary of state under Grover Cleveland, has been offered and has declin ed a position on the reserve bank board, tendered by Presi (lent Wilson, owing to the fact that he think6 he is too 01ld to* give good service. A department of agriculture bulletin contains the informa tion for poultrymen that the fewer male chickens one has the more eggs will be forthcom ing. But the average farmer will not be separated from his time-honored rooster. As was predicted. "Detectiye'' Burns failed completety tq prove a thing that would justify the courts in giving Leo Frank a new trial, As detectives go. Burns is about as good as any of them. which isn't saying much for the profession. Lower California is seceding from M'exico. No matter. There is flothing in that country that can be turned into a dollar, and consequently is not worth fight mng over. Its population is 55, 000. mostly Indians, and they (lon't care whether there is any .government there or not. A Mrs. Benson in Wyane' county, N. C., 99 years of age, was married recently to a young4 man only 19 years old. She had been married six times be fore. She has a baby daughter who is only 78 years old.

The chool has raised enough money to buy a handsome library and are going to add another room to their present building. Prof. J. E. Swearengen was in Pickens last week, and while here praised the people of Pick ens county for the advancement along educational lines. He com plimented some special schools and said that he wanted to see all schools take advantage of the state offer to aid in improve ments. To do this they must help themselves and show an in terest in school matters. Those interested in building improve ment and longer terms should see Prof. Hallum, who is always glad to aid you. The Gates high school closed an excellent session Fridav,May B. Good work has been done for the last six months, and Prof. W. F.

If you get it started off growing nicely in these months, given good preparation, you stand a very much better chance of making a good crop and vour crop will stand adverse conditions better in July and August. If a pig gets stuntedl in its early youth, it is almost impossible to make a1 good, rousing hog of it later. If your cotton is stunted, or if it, gets sore shin or any of the other ailments to which cotton is liable, it has to recover from 4his before it can take on its natural growth, and it never does as well as it would if it had not suffered these troubles. Side dressing. by supplying plant food, makes this plant.vigorous and healthy and strong and it grows off from the start. If you break your arm and set it, and get it properly set and properly knitted together, it is never as strong as before it was broken. "A bird with a broken wing never soars so high again." And so it is with your cotton. Early attention and early fer tilization is more than half of the battle. There is no question of side dressing Daying. You notice what top dressing did for grain this spring; as soon as the top dressing Nas administered, the grain came out of the kinks, and if you administer side dressing to your cotton, it will come out of the kinks. The preparation for a crop has been unusually fine this spring, and where the prepa ration is fine the farming is good and side dressing is bound to pay. Some farmers have found side dressing unprofitable; that is because it was applied too late: it should be applied early, as soon as you bring your cotton to a sland, because you do not care to side dress cotton that you are going to cut out; and as soon as you get the gra3s out, of your cotton, because you do not care to side dress grass; grass takes care of itself in a crop if let alone. As soon as this is done, then Ihe side dressing should be applied and you are not going to apply too much of it. Up to a few years ago France used more fertilizer than the whole United States of America and they did hot use it all at once, either. The French farmers make very fine crops. In a few years people will wonder why we upe so little fertilizer now ir making crops. Joel Keys told the writer of a Mr. Rogers down in Florence county who side dressed his cotton every time he cultivated it, and when he wound up cultivating his crop he had used about 1,800 pounds of fertilizer to the acre; and when he wound up gathering his crop he had gathered 880 pounds of lint cotton to the acre; not seed cotton-lint cotton-two bales weighing 44( pounds each to the acre. Now, if this is not profitable, the most of us had bettei quit farming. Side dressing your cotton prevents disease to which cotton is liable because it is stronger and better able to withstand these troubles. It is stronger because it is better fed. A well fed pig or a well fed child can resist disease better thar a little stunted child or pig. Then, when a man's cotton crop grows off well, when it is green and greasy and growing, it makes him feel better; it encourages him to work it better anc he will have a better crop. Then, too, a man feels his oats a little more with a good crop than he does otherwise; it gives him better credit and it gives hir better standing in his community having a good crop of green, greasy anc growing cotton than having a little yellow, rusty, stunted, bumble bee cotton. The time is past when a man can maintain his respectability and grow bumble bee cotton. Some people complain that they cannot get their hands to side dress their cotton, but this Mr. Rogers had no trouble of that sort. He is like the centurion spoken of in the- Good Book: when he tells man to do a thing he does it. If you apply all your fertilizer when you plant your cottoh, the spring rains get a part of it; the grass gets a part; the cotton that you cut out in reducing your crop has taken a part, so your remaining crop gets probably not more thar half of what you put down. Now, suppose you use 400 pounds to the acre of 10-2-2 goods. You will save 128 ounces of ammonia; half of this has been taken up by the rains, the grass and cotton you have taken out, so you would have about 64 ounces of ammonia and you have 14,700 cotton stalks to fertilize with this 64 ounces of ammona. The wonder is that such a little fertilizer will make such a difference in the crop. You can see this difference by comparing a field fertilized with a field of cottor that is not fertilized. You will come to the conclusion that fertilizer men are giving you good goods or so little would not make such a difference. As your cotton grows, your fertilizer is absorbed and used up, and along ir July and August four cotton is putting on its fruit, and when this is going or the strain on the cotton plant is greatest. Now, just at the time when the strain is greatest, the supply of plant food, which is already reduced, is weak ening, so just as the strain is increasing by the-additional fruit that the stalk takes on, 'ust at the time when your plant is hungering and thirsting for plani food, for stenance, or, you might say, for vittles, as the heart panteth a~tex the water brook, the supply is reduced and is decreasing and your crops shed. What else can it do? When your farm work is heaviest on the mules you mncrease the food and then they do not hold their own; suppose you did not increase their food when you increased their work; wouldn't you expect them to shed, too.! In every contest for corn or cotton that has been entered into for years past, the one who go't the prize side dressed his crop and more than once. There is no accident about this-it is a consequence. A man does not stand a ghost of a chance of getting the prize in a crop contest who does not side dress. In 1911 this county made the biggest cotton crop it has ever grow~n and there was more side dressing used than ever. This was not accident, either-it was another consequence. You do not expect to give your mule enough corn and oats Monday morning to last it until Saturday night, and you have no notion of giving it enough corn and water in Aprik to last it until October, but that is what you you do when you fertilize your cotton in April and expect it to feed a crop until it matures in October. In a man's farming his cotton crop is his money crop-his way of making a profit, and he only makes one cotton crop a year. That being the case,.it will pay him to nurse his crop, to feed it, to look after it. It has been estimated that for every dollar a man spends in fertilizer he gets back $3.60, leaving him a clean, clear profit of $2.60 on every dollar he spends for fertilizer. The profit is greater than on side dressing, because in side dressing the crop gets every ounce of fertilizer, where it gets not over half of that which is applied when the crop is planted. Few people realize the value of side dressing and the profit in it. If they did, we feel sure they would find farming very much more profitable. To change the reading of the text of the Good Book a little, we will say when you know the truth, the truth shall make you free. Now, we are making a fertilizer especially adapted to side dressing. It takes a different fertilizer for side dressing than it does for that which is applied at the time the crop is planted; it requiress quicker action, for whatever is done to improve the crop in May or June must be done quickly. The business of this crop requireth haste, so we have compounded a fertilizer especially adapted to side dressing. We manufacture an 8-4-4 which is excllent; we also have 4-7-2, which is better, because it acts a little quicker; then we have 4-10-2, which is better still; then we have a 9-6, which is a prescription. It is a combination medicine and tonic, makes a crop grow and wards off diseases to which cotton is liable. It will cost you something, but it will bring you more than it costs. You get back more than three times what you pay out in any of these fertilizers that you get for side dressing. We have had a number ofd armers tell us that 1,300 pounds of seed cotton that has been side dressed will turn out as heavy a bale of cotton as 1,500 pounds of seed cotton that has not been side dressed, and, besides, it makes a better sample. and a better sample brings a better price. Now, lest we forget. the fertilizer made by the Anderson Phosphate and Oil Company boys is the best put in sacks. or barrels, or tubs, or pots. It is the best fertilizer for side dressing or for any other purpose that you have ever ad ministered to your crop. We have it ready made and ready to be shipped. It is bagged and tagged.
