Chicago.?In a case before the supreme
court of Michigan Involving
the division of the profits of a law
partnership. It appeared that the plain
uu was an attorney with an established
practice while the defendant
was a young lawyer with no erpertN
ence. Under an agreement by the
partners, when the plaintiff was prosecuting
attorney he promised not to
run for office again, but to asslBt the
defendant to be elected. After defendant
was elected tt was agreed
that the salary of the defendant as
prosecuting attorney should be divided
between the lawyers. The court
.holds that such a partnership contract
:1s against public policy, because It
Is In effect an assignment of the earned
emoluments of a public office, and
Is rold and unenforclble.

In support of a recent application In
the supreme court In Brooklyn by a
srife for an ? ?' "
? ?? ?vwt&i o^tuiioi auuuier
'Woman to restrain her from allenat- 1
lng the affections of tho plaintiffs husband
a decision of the Texas court
of appeals was cited. This case arose
out of a writ of habeas corpus sued
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 ~&ld: "The
suit was brought for damages on an alleged
partial alienation of the affections
of the plaintiffs wife, and it
was averred that on account of the
;past conduct of the defendant In that
suit plaintiff was apprehensive and
had Just grounds to fear that by the
i continuance thereof the wife's affections
would be entirely alienated.
'There would consequently be a breach
and destruction of the matrimonial
contract existing between the parties
by which plaintiff would entirely lose
the affections and services of his
aid wife. These, It must be conceded,
were of peculiar value to the Dlaln
tiff; and It would seem that he would
bare a right to Invoke the restralntrife
power of a court of equity to prevent
the utter annihilation of hla wife's
affections and the utter destruction of
the marital agreement." The court
held that the lr Junction did not violate
unlawfully the defendant's right
as a citizen or unlawfully Interfere
with his freedom of speech. 1
A judgment rendered by a Texas
justice of the peace, as reported by
L?aw Notes, Is In part as follows: "In
the first place I am going to rule right
ma I see It regardless of the fact that
the plaintiff Johnson is a friend of

both parties were negligent?that Ib a

the company and Mr. Johnson were at |1
fault I do not see how either could 1
object to paying for his mistake. 1
Therefore, the railroad will pay Mr.
Johnson for killing his turkeys the !
sum 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
I believe I have done right. If 1 have . i

"Keep The Money
at Home"
Anderson Mall.
Mr. J. J. Enloe of this city has for
rour 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 insituatlon,
having won several medals
and honors, and he is qualified to express
an opinion as to what such a
school 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 conference
for the purpose of developing
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 written for publication, that he
has made the following further statement
about the proposed shool:
"I wish to repeat," he says, "that
the school?a big school for boys?
will be, by far, the greatest enterprise .
that thp Phnmhor ftf PAtnmnrfln """
induce to come to town. I am indeed
glad?yes, very glad?that the dlrec- j
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 busiuess.
"In a f 7 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 hyndred 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 011 a
"Booster'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. Rut 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 It 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 edu- (
rational advantages. For example?
take Greenville and Spartanburg.
Have not the schools In those towns
in u ibiki' lueuuri'i inane (nose UIWI1H
what they are? What was Rock Hill
without Winthrop College? We have
u 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?102.1?" i
"I would beg of you not to overlook
the Importance of considering
what class of people the school will
bring to town. Thay will not be *hose
who merely live one day at a lime,
and that by the sweat of the brow;
but they will be the best or the country.
Citizens who will add to the
society, to business, and to the common
good of al:. 1
"Will it help a town In a business
way? Just reason it out and see for
yourself. Th? fi.st tiling f<>r a family
to do when they come to town Is
to get a house. Of course some will
rent; but that helps too. Well, we
will say they buy a home; that la,
buy a lot first, then build the house.
Then they must have coal or wood to
bum; , they must have something 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 nil home in- 1
dustrles, and all local concerns. Really
now, will it pay?
"If some one would go to the
trouble of figuring up how much
money the boys and girls of Anderson
county have spent in school in
ither towns, it would be an amount
if, perhaps ten digits. Why not keep
the money at home? Of course we '
cannot keep it all, not having the
squipment and courses to offer to all 1
students. But we can help keep a '
food bit of it at home.
"I know that the five Anderson 1
boys who are in the same Fitting 1

thousand dollars, while theree of the
lumber spent between six and eight
lundred the year before. Three othjrs
were there two years each previous
to that spending at least two
lundred apiece. Why shouldn't we
teep this money at home?
"Where there Is a will there is a
vay. Some boys who cannot go off to
>ther schools can go at home. They
lo not have to pay boarding hall bills,
.hye can have their laundry done at

"For example of this I will refer <
o one of our Anderson boys. Leroy i
Campbell, who worked his way f
hrough the local high school. 1
hrough the preparatory to Chicago 1
Jnlversity, and is now In his second 1

ting School?and worked In the afternoons
and In so doing reduced his
expenses considerably; and as for
myself, I waited on the tables some
of each dav .
"Quite a number of boys who finish
a preparatory school never go to
college. Some of them attend a business
school and begin life's work.
Since we have a good business school
why can't we get the preparatory
school and have the boys here for
good. Some boys can attend the Fitting
school, and at the same time
spend a few hours each day or every
other day at the business school
and in a couple or years complete
both courses.
"I hope the good people of Anderson
county will realize the necessity
of such a school and begin plans at
the earlist possible hour to have it
ready for the term of 1914. I tliorougly
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 Xo?l?l For Manufacturing.
News and Courier.
According to a statement printed
in the current number of the Manufacturers'
Record, of Baltimore, the
Interstate Chemical Corporation,
with headquarters in Charleston, has
control of a process by which fertilizer
will be made without the use of
sulphuric acid, thus explaining the order
for the closing down of sulphuric
acid plants of this concern, which
is capitalized at $7,250,000. William
B. Chisolm, of Charleston, Is president
of the company; he is absent
from Charleston. No statement was
available last nielit frnm nnv
officers now here. For some time it
has been understood that the Intersate
intended to close its factories
but no official satement was given
out for publication.
The manufacturing of fertilizer
without sulphuric acid will revolutionize
the industry, it is stated, since
a product of higher grade can be
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 development
of the plans for changing
the factories in order to meet the requirement
of the new process will
be closely followed. The Intersate
has been doing business since October
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, bf Charleston; vice-president,
P. B. TllRhman, of New York;
secretary, John D. Muller, Charleston;
treasurer, Chales B. Bryan, of
New York, general manager of the
sales departement, William H. Tucker,
of Charleston. I
The folowing is the article published
in the Manufacturer's Uecord:
"That sulphuric acid is no longer i
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 organized
in October 1911, with a capital
stock of $7,2?, ,000 and financed by
John Skelton Williams, of John L. 1
Williams & Son, Richmond; Redmound
& Co. and J. & W. Seligman
& Co., of New York, and MIddendorf,
Williams A Co., of Baltimore, and
oiners. me directors include members
of these firms and other prominent
iiankers and flnancers, with Mr. 1
W. R. Chisholm, for many years a
leading phosphate and fertilizer op
erator, as president. Mr. F. P. Tilgh
man as vice-president and Mr. Chas.
S. Pryan, of New York, as treasurer. 1
The company has issued a statement
explaining why it lias 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
Hiupnuric arm nas proven so conclusively
successful as to render the future
making of sulphudic acid unnecessary.
" 'For the past year this company
has heen making exhaustive experiments
on their process for making
fertilizers without the use of sulphuric
acid, and are now doing so on an
entirely satisfactory commercial
scale.
" 'Their product is very much lower
in cost of production than the old
form of fertilizers, is greatly increased
in grade, is In a perfect mechanical
condition, and is of the highest
solubility, analyzing 4 5 per cent, of
ammonia and 5 to 6 per cent, potash.'
i?o. ~ ?? *
v/vuiiug iiuiu a iruiiipttliy ui sucn
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 responslptlftJT,
for it Is a revolutionizing proposition.
If sulphuric acid Is no longBr
needed under the system which
this company has developed In the
manufacture of fertilizers, and If unler
this system a higher grade of fertilizers
can be produced at a lower
%ost than through the use of sulphuric
acid, then Indeed a change of tremendous
importance has een brought
ibout calculated to be very far-reaching
In its effect. The standing of the
iirectors In the financial world would
indicate that unless they felt abso
uieiy sure or their ground they
ivould never have leaned such a statement
to their stockholders."

The Battle Against U
Waste jj
,w
P.hpaior r.or* />? ?
More thau ever before the world of
today Is a battlefield. The battle is
closer than any other event fought J T
closer than any other ever fought. ; bi
It is not for dynastic glory. It is uot I P
for a personal point of honor. The ! tt
world's battle of today is against
waste?the devourer of humanity.
Either in this land of the Ameri- =
can people, as in other lands largely
peopled, waste must stop, or the
growth of population must stop. And
when the population of a nation ceases
to go forward, the next step is that
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? Everywhere 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?
one match equivalent of burning
down every year a house worth half
million dollars.
If so litle a thing in the unit of
the individual?so little a thing as
a suiKie maicn a aay ror each ramtly
of 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 that 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 implc "ent, the artisan's tools,
the liouseho' utensil, misused and
damaged. 1 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 Ufe. 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
nown tne list?this, that and everything.
Think of what a single match
a day means, and then see if your
magination can grasp it all. All the
waste.
Scientific management is chiefly of
waste. In recent years the supreme
efforts and the supreme triumphs of
business management have been in
the stoppage of waste?getting more
than before out of the same material
the same physical energy, the same
material activity.
And npw American governing bod
ies, like private corporations, are alive
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 en 111 hneinAJc rnonoffAmAet
Rut this isn't going far enough. It
dosen't get to the biggest field of all
?public waste. T1 scientific methods
of the thousa 1 saving against
the waste of the b ..ppy-go-Iucky millions
have been a partial check on
the rising price of the nation's bread j
and butter. Rut there is a limit to
the attainment of the ideal of waste-1
saving 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?ami France and Holland.1
There is the lesson we Americans
must learn or he devoured hy our
waste. We must not be too late to i
learn it. We must not suck the orange
dry and then study the rejuicing
of the shriveled skin. We must j
not be the last to learn. In the economic
race the devil takes, without
fail and without mercy, the hindmost.

fewer countries do they have a harder
