midpoints Prosecutor's Contract Declared Against PubUc Policy. | 'Woman Was InJoiiMd?Verdict of Lono Star Stato Judge Who Traveled on a Railroad Paaa SatleSod Hla Coneclence. Chicago.?Io a caso before the supreme court of Michigan Involving the division of the profits of a law partuersnip, It appeared that the plaintiff was an attorney with an established practice while the defendant was a young lawyer with no experience. Under an agreement by the partners, when the plaintiff wan prosecuting attorney he promised not to run for office again, but to assist the defendant to be elected. After defendant was elected It was agreed that the salary of the defendant as prosecuting attorney should be divided between the lawyers. The court boMs that such a partnership contract Is against public policy, because It Is In effect an assignment of the earned emoluments of a public office, and is void and unenforclble. i In support of a recent application In the supreme court In Brooklyn by a 'wife for an lnjunctoln against another "woman to restrain her from alienating the affections of tho plaintiff's husband a decision of the Texas court of appeals was clted: This case arose Out of a writ of habeas corpus sued 1 out by a man sent to Jail for contempt of court for violating an Injunction prohibiting him from associating ' with the plaintiffs wife. The court upheld the Injunction and ^ald: "The suit was brought for damages on an alleged partial alienation of the affecKaho a# ? AA* -v/ub v>i mo pminuirs wire, and It 'was averred that on account of the 'post conduct of the defendant In that , ait plaintiff waa apprehensive and , had Just grounds to fear that by the ] continuance thereof the wife's affec- i tkras would be entirely alienated. 1 .Thjre would consequently be a breach ': and destruction of the matrimonial 1 contract existing between the parties 1 hy which pialntiff would entirely lose 1 the affections and services of his ' aald wife. These, It must be conceded, \ were of peculiar value to the plaintiff; and It would seem that be would < have a right to Invoke the restraining i power of a court of equity to prevent ' i the utter annihilation of his wife's affections and the utter destruction of 'the wiarital agreement." The court lieid that the IrJunction did not vio-'J late unlawfully the defendant's right 11 HttvAn nr i%nU?ff??llw ? v? uuiomuii/ luiwicru { with his freedom of speech. A Judgment rendered by a Texas I Justice of the peace, as reported by 1 Law Notes, Is In part as follows: "In the first place I am going to rule right as I see It regardless of the fact that the plaintiff Johnson la a friend of taxlne, and the railroad company has In the past Issued me a pass and that I hope to again ride on their road free. There are two things evident from the evidence. There 1b a He out somewhere, and a number of turkeys were killed on the O. H. & S. A. Railroad company's right of way. The quail seen by the witnesses Ayers and Scott must have beon large ones, or the chicken hens seen by the witness Johnson must have been small ones. Ilut, be that as It may, the number of turkeys killed were about 50, and they were not fully grown. Again, | both parties were negligent?that is a fact. The company for allowing grass to grow on Its right of way, and the plaintiff for allowing his turkeys to run upon the railway property, although there is no law against tur w keys running ioobo. Now. ir both the company and Mr. Johnson were at fanlt I do not see how either could object to paying for hla mistake. Therefore, the railroad will pay Mr. Johnson for killing his turkeys the lum of $15, and Mr. Johnson will pay the costs of the suit. In rendering this judgment I have no apologies to ( make and my conscience Is clear, as I believe I have done right. If I have ( made a mistake I have done so un-1 consciously, but after weighing all the Idence I feel that I am for once right Do you? J. Littleton Tally. J. P. Pre. No. 1, Oollad county. Texas."

Mr. J. J. Enloe of this city has for four years attended the Wofford Fitting school at Spartanourg and is at home for a visit. Mr. Enloe has entered deeply into the life of the insituation, having won several medals and honors, and he is qualified to express an opinion as to what such a Bchool would do for Anderson. Having seen in The Daily Mail recently that the chamber of commerce had endorsed Dr. Frazer's school and had asked Dr. Frazer for a con .v.vuvv iui tuc |>ui jjuhu ui ueveioping the school, Mr. Enloe wrote a letter of appreciation to the Chamber of Commerce and It was published In The Dally Mail. So many have spoken to Mr. Enloe In commendation of that letter, which really was not w:itten for publication, that he has made the following further statement about the proposed shool: 4T nrl?Vt ? * ? ' mou iu repeal, UK Sciys, IUUI the school?a big school for boys? will be, by far, the greatest enterprise . that the Chamber of Commerce can induce to come to town. I 8m indeed glad?yes, very glad?that the direc- ' tors of the chamber of commence did not overlook the importance of a school?a thing which indeed means ' so much to the welfare of the boys and young men of Anderson county The school will mean much in Anderson; in advertising, in financial ways; in citizenship and in business. "In a few years, perhaps the first ' year, it will have boys, as students, from all parts of South Carolina and some from other states. Now turn one hundred boys loose, after they ' have been In Anderson for eight or nine months, and let them go the rounds of the present day young men and boys, and they will talk Anderson more than a hundred men on a "Rooster's Train." "I do not want to exaggerate this ^reat big Important proposition, so 7 will estimate for the lowest expected number. "It is a known fact that some ' boys spend more money at school than others. Some spend from four to six hundred dollars in one school year, while others do not exceed two or three hundred. Hut at the lowest possible cost a student body will aver age two hundred a year for each student. Now let one hundred boys come to town, and within eight months, spend two hundred dollars each ?$20,000, while the other hundred we expect to come from our own community will spend nearly half that much, if not equally the amount. Will it not mean much to Anderson financially? "We say tt will mean much In citizenship. Well, why not? Go to every town throughtout the entire country where there is a good school?boys or girls, preparatory or college?and you will be wholly surpristd to find the number of citizens In town who came there for the one reason of educational advantages. For example? take Greenville and Spartanburg. Have not the schools In those towns In a large measure, made those towns what they are? What was hock Hill without Winthrop College? We ha\e a girls' school already. So let's have a boys school. Then the question In mind will be: "What will the census be in ten years?-1022?" "I would beg of you not to overlook the importance of considering what class of people the school will orinR 10 town, ru^y win not dp *nose who merely live one day at a time, and that hv the sweat of the brow; but they will be the best of the country. Citizens who will add to the society, to business, and to the common Rood of al;. "Will It help a town In a business way? Just reason it out and see for yourself. Td? fi.st thiu< for a family to do when they come to town Is to Ret a house. Of course some will rent; but that helps too. Well, we will say they buy a home; that Is, buy a lot first, then build the house. Then they must have coal or wood to burn; they must have somethiiiR to eat; they must have their house furnished anew; they must have clothes to wear; they too, must do their share of traveling; after a while they will Join in patronizing all home Industries, and all local concerns. Really now, will it pay? "If some one would go to the trouble of figuring up how much money the hoys and girls of Anderson county have spent in school in other towns, it would be an amount of, perhaps ten digits. Why not keep the money at home? Of course we cannot keep it all, not having the equipment and courses to offer to all students. But we can help keep a good bit of it at home. "I know that the five Anderson boys who are in the same Fitting school last year spent at least one thousand dollars, while theree of the number spent between six and eight hundred the year before. Three others were there two years each previous to that spending at least two hundred apiece. Why shouldn't we keep this money at home? "Where there is a will there is a way. Some hoys who cannot go off to other schools can go at home. They do not have to pay hoarding hall bills, thye can have their laundry done at home while a lot of other expenses will be greatly reduced. Boys who are energetic enough can always And enough odd jobs to do on holidays and in the afternoons and thereby pay their necessary expenses at school and thereby ohatin their education. Some boys who room in the dormitories can fire the boilers, keep the library, look after the halls, and wait on the tables, and thereby reduce their expenses to a minimum. "For example of this I will refer to one of our Anderson boys. Leroy Campbell, who worked his way through the locul high school, through the preparatory to Chicago University, and is now in his second or third year in the university, to my classmate and good friend, E. K. Garrison of one of our mills, who did odd Jobs at school?the Wofford Fit HE LANCASTER NEW S, J tins School?and worked in the afternoons and ip. so doing reduced his expenses considerably; and as for myself, I waited on the tables some of each day . "Quite a number of boys who finish a preparatory school never go to college. Some of them attend a bust- ( ness school and begin life's work. Since we have a good business school t why can't we get the preparatory < school and have the boys here for ( good. Some boys can attend the Kit- j ting school, and at the same time f spend a few hours each day or ev- , ery other day at the business school y and in a couple of years complete both courses. < "I hope the good people of Ander- f son county will realize the necessitv of such a school ami begin plans at , the earltst possible hour to have It ready for the term of 1914. 1 thorougly believe that that the people all over the county will respend to the call so readily and heartily till it will be a pleasure for the person who works up the subscription to call on them. "I hope and even pray that the much needed project may be brought about and that encouraging results may be realized." Joseph J. Enloe. ' I NEW FERTILIZER PROCESS. | Sulphuric Acid not Needed For .Manufacturing. 1 News and Courier. According to a statement printed ' in the current number of the Manufacturers' Record, of Ilaltimore, the Interstate Chemical Corporation, with headquarters in Charleston, has control of a process by which fertlli-nr ...J11 ihUI ' a*.. ..ill l/n UIUUI! IXIIIUUI Hit} U St} OI | sulphuric acid, thus explaining the order for the closing down of sulpliu- , rlc acid plants of this concern, which , is capitalized at $7,250,000. William ' B. Chisolm, of Charleston, is presi- , dent of the company; he is absent , from Charleston. No statement was j available last night from any of the ( officers now here. For some time it ] lias been understood that the Inter- ( sate Intended to close its factories but no official satement was given j out for publication. The manufacturing of fertilizer , without sulphuric acid will revolu- . tionize the industry, it is stated, since a product of higher grade can be J made at lower cost. As Charleston is the biggest point in the world for , the manufacture of fertilizer, the claims made by the Interstate are of | peculiar interest here and the de- , velopment of the plans for changing , the factories in order to meet the re- ( qulrement of the new process will be closely followed. The Intersate has been doing business since Octo- j ber 1911. Its gross sales are reported to reach very large figures. Its offices ! are located at 21 Broad street. Its officers are; President, William B. Chlsolm, of Charleston; vlce-presl- , dent, F. B. Tilghman, of New York; secretary, John D. Muller, Charleston; treasurer, Cliales B. Bryan, of New York, general manager of the sales departement, William H Tucker, of Charleston. The folowing Is the article pub- ' lished In the Manufacturer's Record: ' "That sulphuric acid is no longer needed in the manufacture of fertilizers is the remarkable statement issued by the Interstate Chemical ' Corporation ,of Charleston, S. C., and New York. The company was organ- ; ized in October, 1911, with a capital stock of $7,250,000 and financed by ' John Skelton Williams, of John L. Williams & Son, Richmond; Red- I mound & Co. and J. & W. Seligman & Co., of New York, and Middendorf, Williams & Co., of Baltimore, and others. The directors include members of these firms and other prominent bankers and flnancers, with Mr. W. B. Chisholm, for many years a leading phosphate and fertilizer op fi Miui , itM iireMuciu. ivi r. r . It. 1 Ilgllman as vice-president and Mr. Chas. S. Bryan, of Now York, as treasurer. The company has Issued a statement explaining why It has closed down all its sulphuric acid plants, and in this .connection makes the following announcement: " 'The company's new process for making fertilizers without the use of sulphuric acid has proven so conclusively successful as to render the future making of sulphudic acid unnecessary. " 'For the past year this company t has been making exhaustive experiments on their process for making 1 fertilizers without the use of sulphu- , ric acid, and are now doing so on an entirely satisfactory commercial . scale. " 'Their product is very much low- ' er in cost of production than the old form of fertilizers, is greatly increased in grade, is in a perfect mechani- , cal condition, and is of the highest solubility, analyzing 4 5 per cent, of 'ammonia and 5 to 6 per cent, potash.' "Coming from a company of such standing as this the statement will attract far more attention than would be given to it if made by people of less business and financial responsibility, for It is a revolutionizing proposition. If sulphuric acid is no longer needed under the system which this company has developed In the manufacture of fertilizers, and If under this system a higher grade of fertilizers can be produced at a lower cost than through the use of sulphuVlc acid, then Indeed a change of tremendous Importance has een brought about calculated to be very far-reachIng in Its effect. The standing of the directors In the financial world would Indicate that unless they felt absolutely sure of their ground they would never have Issued such a statement to their stockholders."

The battle is closer than any other event fought closer than any other ever fought. It is not for dynastic glory. It is not 'or a personal point of honor. The world's battle of today Is against waste?the devourer of humanity. Either in this land of the American people, as in other lands largely peopled, waste must stop, or the ;rowth of population must stop. Arid when the population of a nation ceases to eo fnrwarH ~" ' o ? V. " v.. U , VHVy lir.w ntcji in llllll it begins to go backward. That is national decay. Step by step with national decay goes individual rot. Where and in what is this devouring waste? pverywhere and in everything. Twenty million families? the big consolidated family of the United States?each needlessly burning one single match a day, at the price of five cents a dozen boxes? pne match equivalent of burning town every year a house worth half million dollars. If so title a thing in the unit of the individual?so little a thing as i single match a day for each family pf five persons?can mean so much in the aggregate of national waste, Isn't all the rest of the posible and the actual waste as clear as sunshine There is the light thai is left burning when not needed. There is the fire flaming under the empty kettle There is the good food swept, neglected from the table. There is the farm implement, the artisan's tools, iltA U-U "4 " * imj uuii^uuiu uicusii, misused and lamaged. In all varieties there is waste by nearly all the units?and the aggregate is Immeasurable. Worse! There is the economic waste in the production of the necessaries of life. Two pairs of hands on the job of one pair. One pair fiddling for a day over what could be done in half a day. Rent paid for more space than would suffice. Water running over the dam without turning a wheel. In your own mind go iown the list?this, that and everything. Think of what a single match i day means, and then see if your imagination can grasp it all. All the waste. Scientific management is chiefly of waste. In recent years the supreme sfforts and the supreme triumphs ?f business management have been in the stoppage of waste?getting more than before out of tne same material the same physical energy, the same material activity. And now American governing bod les, like private corporations, are aiive to the need of scientific management?to promote efficiency?save waste. They are employing experts In business methods. They are hunting for good business managers as a private corporation would?a city business manager, a State business manager ,a Federal department business manager. Tis the the battle for efficiency, absorbing in our day the best brains of successful business management. Hut this isn't going far enough. It dosen't get to the biggest field of all ?public waste. The scientific methods of the thousand saving against the waste of the happy-go-lucky millions have been a partial check on the rising price or the nation s bread and butter. But there Is a limit to the attainment of the ideal of wastesaving by the scientific methods of the thousands organized into perfect business macines. To that ideal the successful ones; are near enough and the others must perish?to sound the warning of the dead-line. Then it will be up to the individual units?the millions?for the last chance! Can the millions on the farm, in the small place of business, at the workbench, in the household, learn that inexorable lesson?to save waste! Well, they can because they must. Germany has learned or is learning?and France and Holland. There is the lesson we Americans must learn or he devoured by our waste. We must not he too late to learn it. We must not suck the orange dry and then study the rejuieing of the shriveled skin.

In few countries are the native girls happier up to ?.he age of about sixteen than in Zuiuland; in still fewer countries do they have a harder existence after that. According to their tradition it is not seemly for men to work more than they can help. The women, therefore, do most of the manual labor, while their husbands, fathers and brothers laugh and sing, lie about at their kraals and tell one another what fine fellows they are. A little Zulu girl is welcomed into the world by her father because she will become a valuable asset in years to come. If she is taken care of some Zulu lover will pay a cow, or perhaps two cows, for the privilege of marrying the lady, and so that she may retain all her charms the little maid isn't allowed to do any hard work until she marries, excepting such things as carrying food or fuel on her head to her parents' kraal. Whatever she may be carrying, a Zulu girl instinctively puts it on her head. If she goes to a store to buy a pot of jam she walks gravely over the rugged country with It balanced thorn nnd T hnvo anon urnmon In ro moto districts carrying great bundles of wood, which I tried and failed to lift quite off the ground. They get it on their head unaided by lifting up one end first and gradually by working the hody under the burden until It is balanced. It Is certainly no exaggeration to say the women could carry a bundle equal to their own weight for twenty miles In a day and think nothing of the feat. The younger Zulu women have a noble carriage, which is the result ol carrying burdens on their heads. They walk with a singularly statoly > < v - \ tread, their heads and shoulders be- A ing thrown well bark. But as they get wl-it older the drudgery of working iu the pins fields begins to tell on them, and there is very little difference In the T appearance of a women of forty and . t woman forty years her senior. ^ A Test.
