The re-indexing of the real estate
records in the cl'erk of court's office
does not contemplate, as some appear
to think, a transcript of deeds and
mortgages to be put in the index, but
it only contemplates an index alpha
betically and lexicographicahly arrang
ed so as to show the- names of the
parties, book, page and date of filing.
Such an index is all that is necessary
and fully sufficient to make it easy to
find the record of a deed or mortgage.
The legislative provision for this work
was never intended, and it shall not
become "a soft snap" for any one. The
amount appropriated is sufficient for
the work to be well done as contem
plated, but if the indexes had to show a
transcript of the deeds and mortgages.

COLUMBIA CORRESPONDENCL
February 2, 1907.
The general assembly is now down
to hard work; -the introduction of bills
has been something enormous, more
than at any previous session I believe.
The local measures received the first
attention, and these were many; now
since they have been about disposed of
the legislation of general importance
will occupy the rest of the time.
The abolition of the lien law, a bill
known as the "Richard's Bill" which
6xes the repeal to go into effect Jan
uary 1st, 1908, has passed the House,
and is now before the Senate; just
when it will be reached I cannot say,
because, the dispensary question has
been made a special order for Tuesday
night, and it all depends upon the
length of time the debate will last on
this measure, before any other matter
of general importance can be taken up.
The present outlook is for a prolonged
debate on the liquor question. Sena
tor Blease of Newberry, the leader of
the State dispensary forces in the
Senate, has intimated that he proposes
to resort to dilatory tactics in order to
prevent the passage of what is known
as the "Cary-Cothran Bill"-Local
Option, passed by the House. The
local optionists are prepared to meet
any efforts of obstruction, and will. if
the necessity arises, prolong the session
beyond the constitutional limit, rather
than permit themselves to be frustrated
in carrying out the will of the express
ed majority in the last primary.
The dispensary forces in the House
labored hard and ingenuiously to save
the State institution; when they real
ized that the local optionists were de
termined to pass the local option bill,
they decided to make an alliance with
the Prohibitionists to pass a prohibi
tion bill, hcping that if it got to the
Senate it would be killed and' thus force
an adjourment without any liquor leg
islation at this session, which, if they
had been siccessful. would have per
mitted the State dispensary to stand
another year, but their plans were so
transparent that the Prohibitionists
eclined to be caught in the trap. It
was indeed a wonderful transformation
in the House. The most ultra dispen
aryites became in a single night the
most ardent Prohibitionists. Mr. Nash
the leader of the prohibition forces,
ad prepared a prohlbition bill to in
troduce, but the State dispensaryites
stole his bill and had it introduced as a
substitute for local option. Mr. Nash
distinguished himself upon this occa
ion, and in one of the best speeches I
ave ever listened at, he repudiated
his own bill and urged his co-workers
to make the sacrifice of the principles
they held most dear, rather than to
become parties to the unholy scheme
conceived by the opposition His
speech was so convincing and had such
an effect upon the House, that the dis
pensary forces begged for quarter and
ecured an adjournment in order to
prevent a vote, hoping, by the next
morning the effect of Nash's speech
would be dissipated, but when morn
ing came, the very atmosphere denoted
the doom of the State dispensary, and
when the vote was taken it showed the
Prohibitionists and Local Optionists
were together, and a number of the
prodispensaryites to be converts. The
vote of the Clarendon delegation % as
Dingle and Woods for Prohibition, or
rather the State dispensary, and Scar
borough for Local Option.
Dr. Woods, my readers will remem
ber, introduced a bill for the protec
tion of fur animals, and when I wrote
my last letter I was unable to secure a
copy of the printed bill. I have it now,
and for the benefit of THE TImES read
ers will publish it. This bill went be
fore the committee on Agriculture, and
tey made an unfavorable report. Dr.
Woods, however, had it placed upon
he Calendar, where it still remains to
e heard in its proper order. The fol-1
owing is the text of the bill:
Bill to Regulate the Hunting of O'possums,
Raccoons, Otters and Minks.
Be It enacted by the Generai Assembly of the
State of South Carolina:
ScTIoN 1. That from and after the passage
of this Act it shall be unlawful to take, kill or t
orry anyo 'possum, raccoon, otter or mink be
ween the'ulfteenth day of April and the ff
seenth day of September in any year, by any
Sac. 2. Tha I rshall be unlawful to catch.
ae, kill or worry any of the animals men
tioned in this Act at any time by any means
hatsoever, except with dogs or guns.
SEC. 3. The violation of this Act shall be a
isdemeanor punishable by a Sne of not ex
eeding one hundred dollars or Imprisonment
not exceeding thirty days.
Mr. Scarborough's bill to prohibit
headuteration of cotton seed meal
as passed the House, so amended as
o be practically what the present law
sand in its amended shape it is not 4
t all satisfactory to the author. Mr.
Scarborough has worked incessantly
o secure the passage of his bill, and<
e was ably supported by several far- 4
er members, but the oil mill interests<
made such a plea against the measure, t
nd claimed that its passage would
hut down all of the smaller mills, that
any who were in sympathy with the
bject of Mr. Scarborough, relented
nd carried the amendments over the.
uthor's protest. As amended, the
ercentage of ammonia is reduced from
eight per cent to seven, and the bill 4
goes to the Senate with its fangs drawn.
The Clarendon county road bill, in- 1
troduced by myself, after a conference
with the delegation, has passed both
ouses and has been ordered for ratifi-I
cation. The bill relating to reindexing1
the clerk's records so as they relate to
real estate has passed the Senate and
s now a third reading bill in the
ouse. -The bill to straighten the law1
with regard to our treasurer's salary is
n the Senate Calendar for its third1
eding and will be sent to the House1
uesday morning.
To meet the demands for better
school facilities in school district No. 9,
which is the district where the countyi
seat is situated, I have introduced a
bill in the Senate, and the same has1
passed that body and sent it to the1
~ouse. [For lack of space we cannot
publish the bill here this week.] This1
bill simply puts it up to the people of
the district to say whether or not they1
a~re willing to put themselves in the
line of progress. I know of nothing of
,more lasting value I can accomplish for1
the people of my home than to be in
strumental in providing present and
future generations with good school
eupetand facilities. I realize1
gresie sepby some large taxpayers,
at the sametime there are also large1
taxpayers who are willing to bear1
their part towards this beneficial end.
It is needless for me to go into detail1
upon this subject, I have written and
spoken so often for this needed improve
ment that my views are wellknown,
but I will say, the only argument i
have ever heard advanced against the
school project is the matter of taxation.
The objection is also raised against
every advanced step, and not only the
advancing steps, but it is urged against
taxation of any sort.
There was a bill in the Senate which
was fought vigorously by a minority,
and by "filibustering it 'was virtually
killed by forcing an adjournment of the
debate ~until next Wednesday, and
whih, in my judgment, puts it in such
shape that it will never be reachea at
this session. I am, on -principle, op
posed to filibustering, but on this oc
casion I feel justified in being one of
those who held up the Senate and pre
vented a final vote on a measure which,
if enacted into lavr, n ould mean the loss
of home to many~ a woman and child.
The bill was to ,eake away the right of
dower from a married woman during
the life-time of her husband, and only
leave her a dower in such property as
he may be possessed of at the time of
his death. I am not a lawyer, but as
soon as this bill was laid upon my desk
I saw its danger, and immediately set
to work to defeat it. Why, if such a
measure becomes a law, many a woman
would become shelterless because of
the act of a profligate husband. Such
a man is deterred now from disposing
wife will not consent to sign away her
dower, and while I am aware the man
can sell and dispossess his wife even if
she does not sign her dower, and that
it will hold good during his lifetime,
yet the dower is a check and makes it
more difficult for him to sell. The
author of the bill cited several cases
where men had separated from their
wives for cause-in these cases good
cause, and because the wife would not
sign her dower the men conld not dis
pose of the property and suffered. I
have no doubt that this is so, but in my
judgment it is not a justification to
make liable and endanger every mar
ried woman. If the right of dower is
taken away, a man sitting at a poker
table in the excitement of the game
may deed his property for a stake, and
when he comes to himself find that he
has gambled away the shelter that
covers the heads of his wife and chil
dren, and perhaps, too, that man, be
cause the possessor of that home from
the toil of his wife, perhaps she burn
ed the midnight oil, and with her
needle made the money by which the
home was bought; to give the power
to a man to sell the property without
the consent of such a wife would be an
outrage that I shall not be a party to,
but strange to say, on several dilatory
motions the Senate, the majority of
which is composed of lawyers, favored
the measure, which might properly
have been entitled. "A Bill to Rob
all Women, and Children of Their
Sacred Rights, in order to remedy a
few isolated cases of bad conduct on the
part of Women who had deserted their
husbands." Should this bill ever again
be resurrected and it passes the Sen
ate I have declared in a speech on the
floor that I shall follow it over to the
House, and spend the balance of the
session laboring to defeat it, and feel
that I am doing a religious duty in the
name of humanity.
It will be remembered that in ac
cordance with the action of Claren
don's mass meeting, I introduced in
the early part of the session a bill to
regulate agricultural labor contracts,
which had for its purpose the remedy
ing of an evil far-reaching in its conse
quences, but after a very hard fight
I could not canvince the Senate, the
bill should become a law. I endeavor
ed to picture the conditions which
exist in this portion of the State, where
the agricultural labor contract system
iginally intended for the farm pro
tection, has, by its abuse, been per
verted into a system of blackmail and
peonage. It did no good, although
there came to my support such able de
baters as Senators Graydon, of Abbe
ville and Rogers of Marlboro'. The
p-country was afraid to make any
change in the law, and therefore struck
out the enacting words which was the
death of the bill, but since then, Doctor
Woods has had another bill drawn and
introduced in the House, it was refer
red to the judiciary committee, and
that committee "recommen'd that
the bill do not pass." Dr. Woods pro
poses to make a fight for its passage in
the House, but we have no idea he will
;ucceed, and should he, the Senate has
lready indicated its opposition to such
legislation, therefore I think he is
wasting time. Dr. Woods' bill is alto
zether different from mine, in that it
loes not require the contract to be in
writing nor filed with the clerk of court
ind not having such a provision the
ssence of farm protective legislation
s left out. The only feature of his bill
which I can approve of is the one pro
aibiting the transfer of the contract.
Eowever, that my readers can know
just what Dr. Woods wants, I print the
bill:
A Bill to Regulate Labor Contracts.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the
state of South Carolina:
ScTION 1. After the passage and approval
f this Act. labor contracts shall expire at the
:ose of the year in which they were made:
Provided, The contracting laborer does not put
iimself in hiding. either in or out of the State,
with intent to deprive the employer from get
ing the necessa' labor contracted for: in that]
vent it shall hold good for five years from date1

ither written or verbal, that are made in the
resece of two or more disinterested witnesses
rithout being recorded.

SEC. 5. All Acts anid parts of Acts inconsist

The general assembly threw a bomb
hell into the Board of Directors of the1
lispensary. by adopting a concurrent
-esolution recommending the removal
md prosecution of the present Board
>f Directors, and calling upon the
sovernor and the Attorney General to
arry out the recommendation. Since
his action was taken, the friends, of
he Board are already questioning
ae authority of the Governor to re
nove; they take the position that the
egislature should have instituted im
eachment proceedings, and by not
iaving done so, it shirked the respon
ibility and palmed it off on the Gov
~rnor and Attorney General. I do not
mnow what there is in the contention,
he Governor has not the authority to
emove, I believe, however, he has,
md also believe he is going to do it,
ut if the friends of the B~oard think
he members of the general assembly
ould be so foolish to undertake im
eachment, when all know it revuires
atwo-thirds vote to convict, they mis
ake the men. Impeachment proceed

be raised. I for one am opposed to appro
riating81. that is not absolutely neces
iary, and will make every effort to cut
:.he levy down, but I am afraid I will
tot succeed. it looks to me as if every
institution in the State has its sleeves
-olled up to push their hands down into
rhe public cash box, and all trying to
orab at once. The condition is appall
Lng to me. There has been a delega
tion here from Florence begging for
965,000 for the State Reformatory; it
would not surprise me if they get it, if
these boys who are sent to this Florence
institution were kept at home and
properly given a woodshed lecture the
people of the State would not be taxed
for a reformatory at Florence or else
where.
During the week I had the pleasure
of having as my guest at dinner Mr.
S. M. Haynesworth of Foreston, wvho
was over here on business, and on Fri
day evening Rev. P. B. Wells. of Dar
lington, whom all of Manning loves,

Mr. Wells opened the Senate proceed

Dr. W. E. Brown & Co.
Supervisor McFaddin publishes a
statement this week, which shows the
county to be in debt about $10,500, with
a useless road engine and some no ac
count mules on its hands. The present
tax collection may cover all but about
3,400 of the debts against the county.
We had hoped that Supervisor Owens
could have managed to turn fbe office
over to his successor without debt and
the roads in'good condition, but such is
not the case. The roads are in bad fix
and the county is in debt. This debt
will have to be paid, but as the levy
has been fixed for this year without the
actual condition of the county being
known to the delegation, no increase in
the levv will be made. There is a
lamor all over the county for the
Supervisor, but he tells us he is with
ut the necessary mules to move, and
hat a- soon as he c:m be provided with
he stock he will Lace the gang and
epair the places most needed. The
mules turned over to him are old and
practically worthless, the good mules
formerly owned by the county were
,old by Supervisor Owens when he
bought the road engine.

Cotton Growers' Association Meeting.
The Clarendon Cotton Growers' As
ociatiou met in the court house last
Nonday morning at the call of the
ounty president. The weather was
xtremely bad, which prevented a large
attendance. Those present, about 75 in
mumber, were treated to a magnificent
peech from Hon. E. D. Smith. State
president of the association.
President Hodge was prevented from
attending on 'account of illness and we
kmow his enforced absence was a great
.sappointment to him, as he is not
>nly a loyal supporter of the associa
ion but a most zealous worker, and
[as made sacrifices for it. In his ab
ence Mr. J. W. McLeod was called
apon to preside, and Rev. R. L. Grier
,pened the proceedings with prayer.
dr. Louis Appelt introduced the
peaker, and notwithstanding the open
Lng remarks that he did not, on ac
ount of the slim attendance, intend to
make a speech, the speaker made one
f the strongest presentations of the
onditions and the remedies for them
re have yet heard from him. He
trged the necessity of holding to the
advantage already obtained, showed the
lisparity between futures and "spots,"
nd gave the reason therefor. He
;tressed the importance of farmers do
ng business upon business principles
nd excoriated those who had not and
vill not give their aid in the asssocia
:ion's work-a work for Southern man
iood and humanity. He urged the
~ormation of a holding company on a
asis of $5 per bale, select a selling
ent to sell the output of the cotton
arms in organized form, and his illus
ration of the effect was made by com
arng the li! de rain drops which were
ien p~attering upon the roof to the
~ombination of waters which form the
fiagara.
Mr. Smith always makes an excel
ent speech. .He never turns an audi
ne loose without giving them some
hing substantial to carry away. and on
his occasion his plan to handle the
uture cotton crops appeal to the busi
mess sense of the audience. On account
f the small attendance it was decided
call another meeting a little later,
nd stating in that call fully the object
o that a full and representative as
Lsembly can be had and Clarendon join
ith her sister counties, and the other
~otton growing States, in this great
rarfare for home, country, and ma
erial salvation. After the address Mr.
mith asked for voluntary contribu
ions to help pay the office expenses at
eadquarters which resulted in about
27 being collected. Mr. Smith also
ld his hearers of a bill he has had in-.
~roduced in various legislatures requir
.ng a nominal license from all cotton
ins. and requiring those taking out the
.icese to make weekly reports to the
30mptroller General of the number of
ales ginned for the week, and that the
jomptroller General shall publish a
'eekly bulletin as to the number of
ales ginned. This is done to keep a

PERUVIAN GUANO
A Complete Natural Manure and
a Superior Base for Home Mixtures.
ANALYSIS:
Ammonia. ................8.50 per cent.
Phosphoric Acid........... 9.oo per Cent.
Potash................... 2.00 per cent.
GENUINEf PERUVIAN GUANO holds first rank among plant food mate
rials. In their haste to use cheap fertiizers, consisting largely of Acid
Phosphate (dissolved rock), many farmers have, in a measure, over
looked this valuable materini. We nre now directly importing and plac
hr it upon the markrt at prices which make it the cheapest as well as the
best source of plant food
Skilful culture will avail little unless plants are well nourished, and the excess
of one element cannot supply the demand for another.
PERUVIAN GUANO supplies ALL the plant food elements furnished by -
grbund bonc. acid phosphate. tankage, dry ground fish, dried blood, sulphate of
ammonia, cotton seed meal. etc. These elements are already intimately mixed and
combined by natural processes, making it the
Best Possible Base for Home
Mixtures.
Yor certain crops it may seem advisable to add more Potash to the percentage
contained in Peruvian Guano. either bv miming the material or by applying the
additional quantities as a side application. We are in a pcsition to quote lowest
prices on the tollowiing- materials, and to ship them along with the Peruvian Guano.
