Anderson Phosphate & Oil Company
went to McCormick yesterday for the
iJtirpoae of chocking up the goods In
the warehouse of the Charleston and
Western Carolina Fuilroad at that
point, belonging to the Anderson com
pany, imagine his delight when the
representative of the phosphate com.
puny found among thc other ship
ments stored away there, over 200
socks or muriato of potash. Anderson
people have read in the newspapers
that this article, which is so essentlul
to tho making of fertilizer, all comes
from Qerniuiiy and the avalluble sup
ply 1B rapidly becoming exhausted.
Yesterday's find was therefore very
fortunate indeed Tor the local com
pany, especially as they did not know
that they had lt. This aniou it of pot
ash is probably sufficient to furnish
the required amount for ten or '.weive
car loads of fertilizer.

EFFECT OF WAR
ON AGRICULTURE
Exports Will Not Be Greatly
Hampered Says Secretary
Houston
Washington, Aug. 13.-The effect
of the European war upon agriculture
lu the United States was ulseus&O'l
today for the first time by Secretary
I Houston, who pointed int that the
United States was practically the
only large food-prod, KID,? count I y
undisturbed.
"I 'Germany and Austria cannot
control thc high seas,", he said, 'tit
will be very difficult for food supplies
from this country to reach them. This
would not have a very serious effect
I on our exports because a."very ?moR
proportion is taken by these coup-;
tries. Of the wheat and wheat flour
exporte din 1913-about MO.OJO.bOQ
bushelr-only 12,000,000 went to' Ger
many and Austria. If they were to
control the high seas, ii would, se
riously interfere with the marketing
ot the greater part of the foodstuffs
we export.
"If, on the other* hand, England,
France and Russia control tim high
seas, we should bo able to market In
the near future without great ' diffi
culty the great masa of our exportable
i food products. Even If they cannot
(control the seas, Uley are going tc
take every sort of reasonable risk to
get supplies and on account of their
' extensive shore lines and .large ship
i ping facilities, they, would doubtless
' secure a very considerable ' part of
what they need." . ' * ?
. Secretary Houston pointed ont that
cotton, corn, wheat and meat prod
ucta constituted' the latest proportion
o f agricultural exports.
"If congress take . advantage
j promptly of the. present situation and
enacts legislation tor. the enlarge
ment of the merchant marines under
?the American flag," Secretary Hous
ton said, "not only would great tem
porary relief be afforded, but a per
manent advance' would be' made."

ALLIES WAIT FOR
HOUR TO STRIKE
Fears for Brussels Have Been
Entertained and Great Bat
tie Imminent.
(By Associated Press.)
Brussells, Aug. 12.-Via Paris, R-.00
p. m.-On the report that operations
on an extensive scale were imminent,
a correspondent, by permission ot the
war department made a trip along
twenty miles of the Belgian fron-.,
visiting the extreme advance and
talking with officers ana men.
The Belgians are on the alertas Im
portant bodies of German cavalry are
passing through the..country above
Liage, proceeding in the direction of
Tongrea and St. Troud.
The impression of the correspond
ent ls that no.heavy fighting ia likely
in Belgian Limburg, where the Ger
mans have little or no infantry. By
the opposition offered by the Belgian
troops at Liege, the Germana lost
precious time which was profitably
employed by the French and British
in concentrating maasea at convenient
points.
. The allied forces have been so dis
posed ag to be supported by fortified
positions at many chief points, but
little or ?nothing haa been done
around Brussels and it ls thought the
city ts being used SB a bait to at.
tract, the German?.
The Belgian people are anxious re
garding Brussels, as the German cay
airy ia carrying raids nearer and
nearer to the .capital, but such con
sid?r?t iona are not likely to have any
effect on the decisions of the general
staff.
IC is certain vast preparations have
been made by the allies now s pre an
Out for battle and they are likely to
move quickly when the hour to au Ike
