WHO OWNS STATE
RAILROAD COMMISSION?
PERTINENT QUERY PROPOUNDED BY THE
COLLETON NEWS -DAMAGING
CHARGES MADE.
The Colleton News says:
In one act the <|ueetion has been
k answered: "Who owns the State rail-,
p. road commission?"' j
Its first duty in its official capacity
is to the safety of the people; its
second duty is to the protection of
the farmer, who is more dependent j
upon the commission than any other
class. Yet time after time this au
gust body of political parlor car j
^ pleasure seekers has passed the com
mon countryman a reminder that ;
fl "you are not one of us.'' It remain-j
ed, however, for the commission's
greatest and most open slap at the;
"Rube'' to come during the present *
year,# when above all other opportu- j
rnities, it had its best opportunity to
do justice for the rural population
of the State.
The showing was clearly made by ;
Representative Dixon of Fairfield .
county to the House committee that1
fertilizer freight rates, as levied by
the railroads on farmers of South
Carolina, with the permission or t
connivance of the State railroad ^
commission, are 29 per cent higher
> here than in the adjoining or sur- .
rounding States. In other words, a j
20 mile haul in Georgia is SI-cents I ^
k per ton, while farmers in South Car- (
I olina are made to pay $1.10. 11
The agricultural committee put j
the matter up to the State railroad j
1 commissiou aud these gentlemen of i
private-car comfort notoriety prompt-;
ly "fixed a hearing" to be held at
their office on April 14, at noon.
That answers the question, the
date.
All over the State of South Carolina
the farmers are- buying their
fertilizers and the railroads are hauling
them. A "hearing" April 14
will come after the fertilizer season
^ has had its run and the farmer will1
r have paid his 29 per cent in excess
of justice and equity; and then the j
chances are the commission is going
to smear the whole thing over.whitewasli
the railroads, find "we have
not the authority," and then go off
to a few Maypole dances in some
private cars. They haye simply
handed the hayseed the lemon.
The fact is inteusely touching all j
over Sonth Carolina, but more so to |
(Vill?ton rountv than anv other nart t
of the State. Colleton uses more I ^
fertilizers than almost any other j 1
county in the State? more, probably, J?
than auy other?hence it means that i j
Colleton is getting the largest mouth- J j
ful of lemon-juice fioni the commis- j,
sion, ]
Roughly estimated, this gross in 1
activity, or more plainly, the direct j
negligence, of the railroad commission,
has cost the farmers of this j
county in the neighborhood of $d0,- t
000 this year. *
There is more Catarrh iu this sec- .
tion of the country than all other !
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doc- c
tors pronounced it a local disease ^
and prescribed local remedies,aDd by
constantly failing to cure with local 1
treatment, pronounced it incurable. c
Science has proven catarrh to be a ?
constitutional disease and therefore *
* requires constitutional treatment, -1
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufacted by
F J Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
It acts directly on the blood
and mucons surfaces of the system.

any case it fails to cnre. Send for

Your Cotton Crop Can Be Increased
Tf- msta nn mr>rf> to cultivate an aero that ^rodiiees
two bales of cotton than an acre which produces only
one-quarter of a bale. Why not see what you can do
with
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
Other men have been able to double and more than double
their yield per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers.
/^^srs." Lucas ?fc Jackson of Kelsey County, Tenn., used Vir^'
_ i^*<jlina Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and
say: Nvc the une3t crop of cotton we ever saw, and all the
people a and here think the same. We actually counted 447 bolls
on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms,
sauares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about
2 Dales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fertilized
and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to
five acres."
An interesting picture of the cotton plants referred to will be
found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year Book, copy
of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent
