Fertllizers In Bulk, l
Hou. O- B. Stevens, commissioner of
agricultures has passed an order which
15 of Interest tO the dealers as well a 8
the coppumers ot fertilizers as to
goveral ipgredients ueed in the manu
gacture of commercial fertilizers. Av
the 188 t gession of the legislature ap
act Was passed providing that dealers
in the geveral {ngredients used in man
ufacturing tertilizers could eell the
game i pulk to the farmers for ohoir‘
own use, 80 that they could compoundj
their OWD goods. Previous to she en
goyment of this law dealers could sell
to manufacturers, but not to farmers,
and in this WaY evade the tax imposed
on goods: of this character on the
~pound that the goods were not made
;p, and therefore were nov subject to
peing taxed. The new law provides
for ataxon the ingredients from which
‘commercial tertilizers are manufact
ared as well as upon the goods which
have been compounded.
The object of this law is to permit
garmer or congumer to do his own mix
lng without having to pay the inspec
tion tax. The News publishes below &
copy of the order in full:
wOrdered by the Commissioner:
Tpat all importers, manufacturers,
jobbers, dealers and manipalators of
commercial fervilizers and fertilizer
material who desire to do business in
this state under the act pasged by the
legislature in 1903 and app-oved by
tae governor August, 1903, providing
a way by which bulk gools may be
sold to individuals or firms who desire
1o purchase the same for their own
use and on their own laad, but not for

tered and are operating under this law

The matter of feed is ofl
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding iSi
loss. Right feeding is profit.!
The up-to-date farmer knows ‘
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
Scott’s Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain, It is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children,

STEVENS MAKES SPONDULIX.
Commissioner Puts Big Sum into
State Treasury.
Commissioner of Agriculture O. B.
Stevens spent from Friday «afternoon
until Sunday at home in Nawson. Com
missioner Stevens 18 justly proud of
the record made by his department
during the last eight months. He has
just figured up what the department
has aceomplished siace June 1, 1903,
and finds after paying all of the de
partmental expenses, which, as is well
konown, are quite “heavy, the depart
ment has turned into the state treas
ury $26,600. The period is rg;lly less
than eight monthe, being from June 1l
to January 20. Ivwill be seen from
this that the total net returns to the
state for the year will be more than
$40,000. The receipts are quite heavy
at this season of the year, and there 18
no doubt that the same record will be
xept up until Juoe 1 nexs.

They vere immediately rendered in
to lard, sausage, cheese, chitterlings,
cracklings, etc., and are being readily
disposed of at satisfactory prices. It
is estimated that the products of these
two hogs will bring at least 8125. Then
average the twelve pigs at 812,50
each and it makes about $3OO that
these two hogs will net their owners.
No better proof is needed that a good

ON HIS FOURTH ROUND.
Government Agent Securing Cot
ton Statistics in Terrell.
Mr. W. S. Dozier, agent for the gov
ernment in securing cotton statistics
in Terrell county, is now making his
fourth visit to the .gins this seasob.
He will make one more round (in

been ginned and marketed” his next
visit to the gins will be useless.
Mr. Dozier is not allowed to giveout
any information, but The News under
stands that the indications now are
that the cotton erop of Terrell county
for the year just closing is ab)ut the
same as it was the year before. A
year ago the figures showed that some
thing more than 26,000 bales of cotton
were ginned in the county, and it is
oot believed that the number this
year will be lessgthan 25,000 bales.

Uncle Sam Will Pry into Pack

the department at Washington that
rates for matter ot the third and fourth
classes are being abused and violated
in'such manner 4s to neceesitate a
close examination of packages of pa
pers and merchandise transmitted
through the mails. It is a violation of
law to send written matter in a pack
age stamped under the lower rates,
and parties who have been practicing
this had test be very careful in the
future.
Therejare perhaps many in Dawson
and this section who have unknowing
ly imposed upon Uncie Sam in this re
spect.

A CARD FROM MR. EUBANKSI
[Advertisement.]
To All Good People: I neither de
sire nor seek newspaper notoriety, nor
shall I compete with that mental, mor:
al and physical decadent, L. C. Gon
eke, in the art of card writing, and
would much prefer ignoring that pue
rile, vacuous sample of premature sen
ility imposed on a helpless public in
last week's News, but regard for my
friends demands that I remain not si
lent.
In the plain language of a plain man
[ denounce that card as an unvarnish
ed and unmitigaved falsehood.
Unfortunately 1 had business rels
tions with Goneke, and went to his of
fice at his request. He locked the
door and then insuited me—called me
a ‘‘damned liar.’”’ [f there be any man
in thls community who would not re
sent the affront let him condemn me;
for that, I chastised him as I would
have any other cur.
I sav when he savs that I attacked
him ‘“‘without cause, reason or excuse”’
‘he lies. |
~ He drew a pistol from his pocket,
‘where he had it concealed, and at
tempted to kill me while locked in his
‘oflice, and for that I proclaim him a
} coward.
l I have lived my life near here, and
am willing that my vices and my vir
‘tues shall be judged of by those who
know me, but [ am no brawler among
men, no disturber of public peace, no
‘writer of driveling vagaries that
might have beeniconceived and brougk t
forth among the hallucinations of some
mind-wrecking dope, no divider of
churches, no slanderer of men, nor
shall T supinely submit my character
to the besmirching of one who is.
I therefore brand him as a cur, a
coward and a liar. i
If he has a ‘‘sugar téat” he knows
where to {ind @y mouth.

‘District Convention Will Cenvene in This
City February 13th. All for Reese
velt and a Juioy Jeb.
That activity among republicans
eyery year in which a presidential
election occurs has begun to manifest
itself.
There are already evidemees of in
terest in affairs political among the
faithful, and this will increase as the
days grow longer and the time ap
proaches for the selection of delegates
to the various conventiots.
B. J. Dayis, chairman of the repub
lican committee of the second ocon
gressional distriet, has called a con

‘vention, and J. C. Styles, chairman of
the county committee, has called a
mass meeting for the 12th inst for the
purpose of electing delegates to this
district convention and to the state re

No more econclusive evidence that
Senator Hanna and his persuasive and
popular ‘barrel’> haye lost their
charm and prestige is needed than the
fact that all of the office-holders and
others who have a yearning to attach
themselves to the government in a
like way are for Roosevelt, and the
rough rider who has put Uncle Marcus

ical hospital will be endorsed with
'a whoop when the convention gets

To health and happiness is Serofula—

It causes bunches in the neck, dis

« A bunch appeared on the left side of
my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced,
and became a running sore. I went into a
general decline. I was persuaded to try
Hood’s Sarsaparilia. and when I had taken
