That Cattle Tick BUI. Editor County Record:? I notice the bill passed by the Legislature providing $30,000 for tick eradication for South Carolina. Well, I think the substitute offered by Hon Josh Ashley would be the best thing for the farmers, as the taxes are high enough now and we did not send our delegation from Williamsburg to raise the taxes on us, but to stand up for our special interests, and I think the man who started the tick bill should have it to pay, as he just wants a bill in the rich man's pocket. I would suggest that they ask the farmers about this bill, before it passes the Upper House, and let's have their decision on it. I would vote in favor of a bill to fence the farm land and let the stock go at large again; and,if it were necessary, to have the eradication bill, all right; but, as it stands now, there is not much stock to lose by ticks anyway. What stock there is, is, like mine, in the stalls, where the owner can use a substitute all right. C W Filyaw. Cades, Rt 1, March 2. P S:?Please publish the foregoing and put it before the Senator for his decision. Our taxes are about twenty-five per cent higher tHnn thpv wprp 5 veara ago and I can't see where we are any better off by it; so, we the farmers of my section are not so well pleased with so many money bills without some good being: done. Please ask the Senator to try to change the road laws back and require them to work each man eight days instead of paying two dollars. v C W F. Truck Crops Damaged. Truck crops of Charleston and adjoining counties have suffered severely because of the freezing weather of the last two days, according to a statement yesterday by W McLeod Frampton, agricultural secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the damage done will far exceed that caused by the snow and a'eet of the latter part of February: said Mr Frampton. The evil effects of the cold weather were greatly accentuated by the ground being soaked with water, as a result of the heavy rains of last Saturday. Had the soil been dry it would have been less likely to freeze. In speaking of the reason for che greater damage of the last two days over that done by the snow and sleet of last week, Mr Frampton explained that on prior occasions the snow fell first, forming a warm white covering over the earth,which served well as a protection against the cold weather which accompani- j ed it. The crops now in the soil consist mainly of potatoes, peas, carrots and cabbages, according to Mr Frarapton. When asked as to the probable amount of the total damage to the county, he replied that as yet it was impossible to make an estimate with accuracy.?Ntwa and Courier. The Cold Wave. Record cold weather for Kingstree and vicinity was scored when at 7 o'clock Monday morning the thermometer stood at 22 degrees. The cold wave seems to have been general throughout most of the South Atlantic States. The lowest temperature on record for the month of March was recorded at Charleston, and freezing temperatures extended into Northern Florida. This storm wave developed on the East Gulf coast Saturday, where it attained greatest intensity Sunday. Boston suffered most severely, although much suffering was caused throughout the New England,Middle and Western States. Chronic Stomach Trouble Cured. There is nothing more discouraging than a chronic disorder of the stomach. Is it not surprising that many suffer for years with such an ailment when a permanent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle? "About one year ago," says P H Beck, of Wakelee, Mich, "I bought a package of Chamberlain's Tablets, and since using them I have felt perfectly well. I had previously used any number of different medicines, but none of them were of any lasting benefit." For sale by all dealers. I KINGSTKEE HIGH AND~ 1 ; GRADED SCHOOL NOTES.

Penn Yan, N Y, February 25: ? John B Cramer, president of the board of education, had a fine flock of chickens he wanted to sell. He was told by a prospective purchaser, who looked at some of the eggs, tKof fViov wprp nnf whit** pnmiirh vuab VUV. j V* V?v "W ? ? ? ? ?a .. for the New York market, to which he was shipping. A friend advised him chat small doses of peroxide of hydrogen fed in water or mash would aid his hens to produce eggs of the proper degree of whiteness. He tried the experiment and the eggs grew whiter, but not fast enough to suit him. He then increased the doses, but his hens soon stopped laying eggs of any color, and a week ago one of them died. Today all that was left of his flock was one old rooster.
