We hope every motorcyclist In the
county will be Interested In the call
published elsewhere In this Issue to
meet and organize a club. There are
quite a good it nv motorcycle riders
now In Union and throughout the
county and an organization of the
kind would be beneficial. L.et all motorcycle

a few dollars. This week the good
work goes on, and we will publish 1
the results on the first page, at the :
end of four weeks. We do not mean 1
to be "greedy", In fact, we Intended to 1

may be sure we appreciate this additional
evidence of good will. We have
ordered the machine snipped out 01
New York and expect It to be working
In about ten days. The first payment
was the heavy payment, and now
we will have to pay sixty-five dollars
each month. We Intend to pay for
this machine with the money received
on subscription. Each month we will
publish the results Instead of by the
week. We have received this week
more than fifty dollars. ThlB give us
great encouragement and fills us with
hope. Many of our friends have written
us that they would send In a re

"By their fruits ye shall know them.
Ho men gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles?" The old dispensary,
oorrupt and corrupting, has left marks
that disfigure the fair name of South
Carolina that a hundred years will
not wipe out. We do not see any reason
for bringing It back to life In this
county. The movement now on foot
to secure signatures calling for an
election on the question, is, we understand,
being pressed. The moveers
in the matter will easily succeed In
securing one-fourth of the qualified
electors. But we do not believe the
majority of the voters of the county
will again go into the liquor business.
What we need is officers of the law
who will enforce it. Blind tigers In
Union flourish because we have lax
enforcement of the law, not because
we have no dispensary.
We understand that those behind
the movement to restablish the dispensary
here are urging the old,
wornout argument: The people will
have whiskey and so, we will legalize
the sale, so as to get a revenue from
it." Tn other words, it is the question
of dollars, not of manhood and
morals, with these individuals.
We refuse to be brought under the
dominion of the evil by any such selfish
arguments. We refuse to form an
nlliance withthe devil, even if he does
promise to pay part of our taxes. It
is a promise that he cannot fulfill,
we can easily prove; but if it were
true that such an institution did help
pay our taxes we would Just as heartily
condemn it. We refuse to make
an alliance with the devil, no matter
how alluring his proposition.
Don't forget to enroll, so as to vote
in the city primary. Saturday is the
last day the books will he kept open.

Editor Union Times, Union, 8. G.
Dear Sir: Sometime since you
kindly invited me to write an article
for publication, explaining with
some detail the inspection and analysis
of commercial fertilisers as is
carried on by Clemson College. I vary
much appreciate the invitation, and
trust what is given below will prove
of some value in making understood
a very Important work, about which
there is a great deal of mlsinfiorma
tlon.
The laws governing the Inspection,
sale and analysis of fertilisers are
made by the representatives of the
people in the General Assembly, and
not by Clemson College, as we often
hear. If there are Imperfections In
the laws, the College Is certainly not
responsible. It Is the duty of the
College to enforce the laws and not to
make them. Now for the purpose of
enforcing these laws the Fertiliser
Board has provided a Secretarty, who
has general supervision of everything
pertaining to the inspection and analysis
of the fertilizers sold in the State.
There Is maintained at the College,
a complete and modern laboratory In
which the work Is carried on. There
are a number of expert fertiliser
chemists employed, and all are under
the direct supervision of the College's
Chief Chemist
The work In the laboratory is divided
Into three divisions. One division
makes the analysis for phosphoric
acid, another for ammonia, and
another for potash, each entirely Independent
of the other, and with no
knowledge whatsoever of what percentage
of plant food has been guar
anteed by the manufacturer.
The Fertilizer Board annually
elects a force of competent men from
different Bectlons of the State?twelve
this year-whose duty It Is to take
samples of every brand of fertilizer
offered for sale In the State, to see
that the proper label Is on the sack,
and that the package weighs what It
Is guaranteed to weigh. In order to
do this, every depot and siding In the
State is visited from two to five times
during the season. The Inspector
carries with him a steel trier, abont
the length of the sack. With this he
draws samples from one-tenth of the
lot he finds, and after thoroughly
mixing, places in a bottle holding
about a quart, seals and affixes his
name, and the number of the sample
on the outside of the bottle. He
then makes a complete transcript in
duplicate of the labelling on the
turer's guarantee, goes to the Secretary
of the Board, but the sample
itself goes to the laboratory for analysis.
Mind, that all of the sampling,
mixing, sealing and the making of
the transcript Is done In the presence
of a witness who signs a state?
TDio mannfa/v.
muui iu vuav uuovi.. amv um*uu??*v
turers' guarantee Is filed In the office
of the Secretary and when the
analysis has been made, the results
are filed with It, then once a week
during the season, both the guarantee
and what is found, are written into
a bulletin, and thousands of copies
mailed to f&rmers throughout the
State. But somebody says that the
analysis Is a fake, that the manufactures
and the chemists are In oolluslon
to defraud the consumers. To
do this, it would be necessary to corrupt
practically everybody connected
with the department, a number of almost
equal to a legal South Carolina
jury. But the State has made It possible
for those who care to do so, to
take a sample of his own fertilizer,
send It into the College, have It analyzed,
and get returns on It without
anybody connected with the College
in any capacity, knowing or having
an opportunity to know who made
It. where It was made, or what is
guaranteed, to do thia though, the law
ays it must be"done In a certain way
and unless the sample Is drawn In
accordance with the law, the College
has no right to analyze same. The
law prescribing Just how this must
be done is contained In Section IB,
Acts 1909, and Section 1, Acts 1911.
The essentials to be observed are as
follows: 1st?Sample must be taken
from one tenth of lot. 2nd?Must be
taken in the presence of two witnesses,
one for the purchaser and one
for the manufacturer, 3rd?The
names of the chemicals contained In
the fertilizer must be given, but not
the percentage.
The blanks with free instructions
for drawing farmers samples can bs
had of Hon. H. M. Stockhouse. Clemson
College. 8. C., or of W. B. West,
Chief Inspector, Colombia, 8. C.
The Fertiliser Department of College
is operated to the end that there
may be a square deal between manufacturer
and consumer. We believe
this is being done to the entire satisfaction
of all those who have mads
an honest Investigation of the methods
employed.
Yours truly,
W. B. West, Chief Inspector.

Santuc, April 10.?There wm i
preaching at the Methodist ohurah 1
Sunday by the pastor, Rev. O. N. I
Rountree, an Easter sermon In a i
way, a good one too, but the congregation
was small, despite tbe tact 1
that it was Easter. Perhaps there
were no "Easter hits?I do not know
whether I saw one, but I do not know
if 1 would know an Easter hat It I
saw ona But me-thinks I saw a
sample of Easter suits. Maybe the
"boys" were trying-to out-fashion the
girls.
t this time there Is a line prospect
for a peach crop, and, if It holds
there will be an abundanoe, bat it
may be like many engagements, broken
off almost at tbe last. Just as the

seem to want to take up their entire
time in the gardens, and some flatting

our little place must be the sweetest,
and moet publio place in town.
This is corn planting time, but
very few are ready, and there to all

be a hardship on the moon-man part
of the farmers. No disrespect intend

on a farm)?two male calves. Would
prefer good stock, good common cattle
with good foundation stock. If
they had some Shorthorn, or Hereford

mean: If farmers would strive to
raise a yoke of oxen, of good stock,
make them grow large and "hefty"
what a help at power would they
have, as a team, If properly trained.
Did any of yon ever work oxen, and

they would do their own driving and
