There are some men who k.ch however on tho expenso to which the government is put to distribute those seed. They ere few and between and once in a while they get a dose of answer back f.-t.m some congressman who does not hesitate to say Just what he thinks about the seed and the people who kick at the expense. A ve-y amus ing epistle has Just come to light which it is reported was sent to a citizen of Thomasville and as it i» written in a humorous vein.

Dear Sir: — Your note, containing the fol lowing, received: “Please don’t burden my mall carrier with any more worth less seed packages-it is a shame for the department to allow so- called Congressmen to flood the country with such worthless etuff. Yours truly ” The very great urgency of your letter demands an immediate and full reply. 1 try to omit sending seed for gar den planting to persona who are weli known to be opposed to any thing that involves work or labor, but your name was overlooked in culling out the drones. Every day I am receiving requests for these seed trom farmers, school improvement societies, womens’ civ ic club3, laborers in cotton mills, merchants and other working men who want to get out and do open air gardening when the/ can get a spare moment for pleasure and profit. What a waste it was to send you even a package of mustard seed. Shame on me. Yes, 1 admit the mistake. I should hav© known bet ter. Indeed, I did know better. There is rto excuse for me. Abso lutely none. You are exactly rljht. I deserved to be rebuked for such a thing—My dear hard-worked man, I won’t do it any more. Please let me off this time—don’t tell anybody If it were not a trespass on your “valuable” time, 1 would send you for perusal several thousand letter and cards from “lazy and worth less (?)” people asking for all of these seed that I could spare them. They seem to think they are not worthless; but the opinion of a real “working man,” like everybody knows you to be, is the highest au thority. If, hereafter, I should by mistake send you garden seed, throw them over the fence to some industrious widow or housewife who is not afraid of a little garden work now and then. You complain that tho seed are no good. The collard seed in your package were grown In Grady coun ty and are the finest In the world. The other seed are tested before sent and out aud eighty-five percent of them will germinate. If you don't think so, look at Joe Beverly’s gar den or Bob Heeth’s garden or old Comrade Sanford’s garden about May 1st. In Thomas county hundreds of other gardens owned by people who don’t hate work will show it. These seed won't plant themselves, however. It takes a little work for that. Therefore, I beg your pardon for sending anything would suggest labor. Fending seed to prsonH whom I know are very bus'Iy engaged in car-yin? on other business for the support of their families.

Or been deterred by brothers small, Or loudly calling ma. I’ve never found It hard to choose, With whom 1 would be mated; Oh, no ’tis quite another cause— I’m not appreciated.
