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.

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

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

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

"Keep The Money
at Home"
Anderson Mail.
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

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."

NEW FERTILIZER PROCESS. |
Sulphuric Acid not Needed For .Manufacturing.

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

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 Against
Waste
Chester Lantern.
More than ever before the world of
oday is a battlefield. 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. We must

The Secret of Noble Carriage.
Exchange.
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
