Morrison, Pres. i] SENATE RETAINS 0 NITRATE SCHEME d Washington, April 12.?Favorable s action by the senate on the proposal j to construct a huge hydro-electric air nitrogen plant for the manufacture of j, powder in war time and fertilizer in peace time was foreshadowed today v when a motion by Senator Hardwick to strike out the fertilizer feature of v the pending amendment to the army bill was defeated 47 to 45. p The amendment introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina, was un- v der discussion all day. It provides a for a plant at an ultimate cost of $15*000,000, the surplus nitric acid over ^ what may be needed for powder to go r into fertilizer to be sold directly to the farmers. j, Senator Hardwick declared the plan ^ Socialistic and repugnant to the spirit of Democracy. Senator Southerland a ouestioned the constitutionality of the fertilizer proposal, although he said g there could be no question as to the n government's power to manufacture chmicals for its own military needs. ^ Nine Republicans for Plan. Senator Hardwick's motion was defeated by the votes of 38 Democrats and nine Republicans, the latter being Senators Clapp, Cummins, Gronna, Kenyon, La Follette, McCumber, Nor- g ris, Poindexter and Sherman. The ? Democrats who voted for the motion were: Senators Hardwlck, Overman, Pomerene, Smith of Georgia and ^ Stone. r' With the Hardwick proposal out of 0 the way, Senator Underwood propos- h tr. aHH a naratrranh to the Smith tl amendment aifthorizing the secretary of war to purchase or lease rights to p the most suitable process for the pro- n duction of air nitrogen and also to tl lease the proposed plant, should he fi so desire, for private manufacture of |"] fertilizer in peace times. Senator f] Hardwick again assailed the plan, as- ci serting that while the Smith amend- t< ment was bad enough, the Underwood a proposal was worse. p Only One Site. e: Senator Walsh discussed Senator Underwood's original amendment to the army bill proposing an investiga- * tion by the war department of the * whole question of air nitrogen manu- * facture and said its terms were such * as to prevent the selection of any site * except the Muscle Shoals project in Alabama.

Columbia, April 18.?The last general assembly passed a law which requires the State Board of Charities and Corrections to examine into the financial ability of applicants, and that of parents and guardians . of applicants, for beneficiary scholarships and free tuition in the State institutions for higher education. The law was passed as a compromise to the demand of denominational colleges that steps be taken to put them on degree of parity with State colleges in the matter of free tuition and scholarships. The law provides that the State Board of charities and corrections shall report the result of its investigations to the boards of trustees of State Colleg6s who are to grant or | refuse free tuition or beneficiary j scholarships as they see fit. Provision is made in the act for appeal I from the decision of any board of j trustees to the State board of educa- , tion which can reverse or confirm I the action of the trustees in so far as the same relates to law or fact. In recent opinions, Mr. C. N. Sapp, J the new assistant attorney general, j has passed, at the request of the j State Board of charities and correc- j tions, on some of the provisions of j the act. Mr. Sapp has held that the 1 law applies only to those beneficiary scholarships the granting of which is conditioned upon the inability of the j application, his parents or guardian ! to pay tuition or tuition and other j fees at the State college offering the i scholarship. Mr. Sapp has held I further that applicants for benefici- | ary scholarships must first pass the competitive examinations success- ; fully before it will be necessary for j the State board of charities and corrections to investigate their financial ability and that of their parents and guardians. At a conference early in April representatives of the State colleges and the secretary of the State board of Charities and corrections reached an agreement which will facilitate the investigations of the board. The colleges will see that each applicant for free tuition knows of | the provisions of the new law requiring investigation by the State board j of charities and corrections. Here- | after, when the parent or guardian j of a prospective student at a State college or the student himself asks I for free tuition, the college will send j him a blank on which will be printed i "When this blank is properly filled I out, free tuition will be granted j pending further investigation by the j State board of charities and correc- J tions, as is required by law.". After j this blank is filled out and returned | to the college to which application \ for free tuition has been made, it | will be filed with the State board of ] charities and corrections. In ' this j way, all applicants for free tuition I and parents and guardins of appli- j cants will be advised of the investi- , gation. The State colleges will file with the j j State board of charities and correc- . tions the names and addresses of ap-'' plicants for beneficiary scholarships, I and the names and addresses of par- j ents and guardians of such appli cants, who succeed in passing the I competitive examinations. In addi- | tion to the names of applicants, the i colleges will send the board the in- ' formation which such applicants and | their Darents and eruardians are now required to give in regard to their J financial ability. ^ i The new law under which the j State board of charities and correc- J tions is required to proceed, does not j apply to beneficiary scholarships or j free tuition grants now in force, ! but it does apply to beneficiary I scholarships which are to be award- j ed or renewed at the beginning of the session of 1916-17 when one of I the conditions under which the schol- j arships are given is the inability of . the holder, his parents or guardian, I to pay tuition or tuition and other j fees. It applies, too, to grants of free tuition which are to be renewed J or awarded at the beginning of the | 1916-17 session. : NOTICE. | The Abbeville JunK ^o., wm ue m . their new warehouse Tuesday and I will buy all waste paper, rags, brass and rubber.
