MADRAS. We had ice Monday, and it is feared by some that the fruit is injured. The sunshine was greeted with broad smiles the first of the week by most everyone. Its genial rays proved wel come to all. A dog owned by Mr. Hubert Cates acted rather queerly last Friday. While playing with the animal it bit Floyd, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. .1. T.

Wingo spent Saturday and Mr. Loyd Donegan, at TURIN. j Would it be deemed impertinent to 'ask one or two questions regarding some recommendations made by the late grand jury? We note that the jury recommended that the County Commis sioners be paid $100 each for their ser- I vices, and that the chairman of the j board be paid $100 additional to what he already receives, making $200 per annum for this official. Now, does the recommendation of a grand jury amount to an order absolute, and is this the Treasurer’s only authority for the payment of the sums so recommen ded? In other words, to whom is this recommendation or order directed? To the Board of County Commissioners, to the Treasurer, or whom? Does the rec ommendation of a jury really author ize any official to pay the amounts des ignated? The Governor of a State may recommend certain appropriations, but an Act of the Legislature is required to confer authority to carry out the recommendation. What actual authori ty is conferred by a grand jury recom mendatiorii anyway? Will some one answer? Again. If the average monthly ex pense of maintaining the county chain- gang is $900, is the hire of the misde meanor convicts included in this esti mate? If not, what does the ehaingang really cost the county? Many people think our roads are costing too much under the ehaingang system. Many are of the opinion also that the Legis lature, by abolishing the lease system, has saddled a burden upon the State that she will grow tired of before long.

LOVVORN, Sec. & Treas. MANDEVILLE MILLS == HIGH-GRADE ===== FERTILIZERS Free State Fertilizer Works ) Mandeville Cotton Mills - CONSOLIDATED Carrollton Oil Mills \ M-M CARROLLTON, GA., March 12, 1909. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FARMERS: We have spent several years building and main taining a reputation for QUALITY for M-M FERTILIZERS. The prevailing demoralization of prices naturally brings to the mind of the manufacturer the question wheth er he will SACRIFICE QUALITY and MAINTAIN TONNAGE, or MAINTAIN QUALITY aad SACRIFICE TONNAGE. This question was easy for us to decide, and to those who know the personnel of those responsible for the policy of this company, the decision is already known. We do not propose to reduce prices to a point where we cannot maintain QUALITY, although our profits may be sacrificed. If QUALITY is a good thing for the manufacturer, is it not a better thing for the consumer? Will you, for the sake of a possible saving in your fertilizer bill of 10 cents to 20 cents an acre, use an untried fertilizer, or one from a manufacturer whom you have reason to believe will sacrifice QUALITY? Avoid this risk by insisting on your dealer fur nishing you the M-M Fertilizers; and if he won't supply you, write to the home office at Carrollton, Ga.
