H. Watkins, of Anderson, who yes terday took the oath of office as judge in the Western District, and who is now in charge of the judicial affairs | of this district. | Judge Watkins' statement means | that J. Broadus Knight who has beer i clerk of the fedral court since Western District headquarters were established here, will continue in this po i sition. and\ that Court Crier Odom will also continue to perform the du ties of that office, as he has performed them for many years past. , It was not necessary for Judg< Watkins to reappoint Mr. Knight as clerk, sinoe he continues in office unless his resignation is asked for, and the office does not automatically become vacant upon a change in judge* ship. 1 Shell to Report Court. i Judge Watkins also stated that * Charlton C. Shell, of Spartanburg, who was private secretary to the late Judge Johnson and court stenog|rapher under Judge Johnson, would report the special term of court to begin here next Tuesday.

Clemson College, July 29.?The United States Department of Agriculture announces that fanners of the Southern States should obtain their mixed fertilizers for the fall season of 1919 at an average price about 30 per cent, lower than the price which prevailed for the spring season this year. TVns announcement for the South ern States follows a similar one made on June 7 for the Northern States. It follows conferences with individual manufacturers which placed the department in a position to state that the basic price of mixed fertilizers f. o. b. the South Atlantic and Gulf ports of Baltimore, Norfolk, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Pensacola, and Mobile will be the same as the f. o. b. prices at Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Carteret, which i established the prices for the Northern States. These prices are based upon deu?oflrt.noiind baers. The iivcij IU mvw x- ~ w prices are to wholesale dealers and to farmers ordering 30 tons or more. In general, flat delivered prices prevail in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, east of the Mississippi, and Florida west of the Apalachicola River, for which a flat rate of $2.50 per ton will be added I to the port prces. MAKING A GOOD LAWN. x Clemson College, July 29.?Sue- t cessful lawn-making is largely de-j J pendent upon three factors; viz: 1 clearing the site, thorough prepara- c tion of the seed bed, and judicious j selection of the grasses with which j c the lawn is to be made, says George ( P. Hoffman, Extension Service hor- r I ticulturist. | i, The site, which is usually prede-| v termined by the location of the i building or ground that is to be 0 beautified, should be cleared of any obstacle that detracts from the ap- j pearance or is a hindrance in the upkeep of the lawn. The ground should be free from holes and have a gentle slope from the building which it surrounds. A very little s work in the beginning will add to c the permanence and future attrac- * tiveness of the lawn. 8 Success or failure in lawn-making. s is based on the preparation of the ! t seed bed, which necessarily requires b great care and good judgment. The g - - I * physical condition 01 tne son | be greatly improved by growing c some soil-building crop preparatory to seeding. Peas or velvet beans i may be sown during the early sum- i mer and the stubble turned in Sep- < tember. The land should be turned I and subsoiled to a deipth of 6 to 12 I inches, and harrowed until it is ] thoroughly pulverized. Before turn- i ing, a liberal application (6 to 10 t tons per acre) of well decomposed i stable manure and 300 pounds of j * lime should be applied. When a per- 1 1 feet seed bed has been made, apply | GOO to 800 pounds of 8-4-4 commer- j cial fertilizer and harrow thorough- j ly into the first few inches of soil. ] ' The lawn grasses should be carefully selected, and only those grasses ( or mixtures used that are adapted ( to that locality and are capable of , making a good sod under existing i J * conditions. A mixture of Kentucky ( " blue grass, Bermuda, and white', clover is especially suitable to the' ( partially shaded lawn, the blue grass ( preominating in the shaded por- , tions of the lawn and the Bermuda j in the sunny srpots while the clover ( keeps ?he entire lawn green through- | ' out the winter. RIOTS IN CHICAGO STILL CONTINUE r Chicago, July 29.?With twenty-j four dead and hundreds injured.' scores of them seriously, sporadic rioting between whites and negroes was reported renewed tonight in va-' rious sections of the city, including the small north side area populated, by negroes. City and State officials, including Governor Lowden, remain ? -1 A. 1<V _ ed on tne scene tnrougnout me mgnt and expressed the opinion that worst of the rioting was ended. The most serious situation was reported in the south negro belt where j thousands of negroes and whites hadi gathered. The whites organized after two wounded white men were taken to the hospital which also received white patients. The rifle squad from the detective bureau was ordered to I the scene. The wounded whites were struck I | by bullets said to have been fired i j by about thirty negroes at Thirty-' ! Fifth and State streets following a j collision between two police patrol, wagons in which two men v/ere re-| ported killed and several policemen1 injured. j Whites had gathered virtually all j over Northside and Loop police were! ordered to this district thus leaving almost without police protection sec-,H tions from which came reports of in-'B termittent outbreaks. j A sinister silence that prevailed in a the negro belt on the ,south side at|i dusk gave way to confusion and sharp clashes, principally with clubs'? and knives as weapons, as the night a wore on. j| Where these outbreaks occurred, a the negroes predominated in num-.ra bers. Several meetings at negro halls'j| were broken up by the police after ,9 which crowds formed on the streets. |1 In the early night clashes, various [ 1 weapons were used, including table j I in A olinrrclinta Few frunS at)-!

Troops had not been ordered to pa-' trol the negro belt the police main-|fl taining that they were still able to N handle the situation. Four regiments | of state troops were in barracks I I eady for duty tonight. The soldiers, >lentifully supplied with ammuniion, were distributed about the Southside negro district as a support ine to powerful police forces conentnated within the trouble zone.

SAME MEN AT TOP FOR PRISON CAMPS New York, July 29.?Scores in intances of brutal treatment of Amerian soldiers in the prison camps of France, described in some cases as mounting to a system of torture, reponsibility for which was placed by he witnesses on high army officers, vere related today before the con-! .Tessional sub-committee which is ^vestigating the diciplinary systems >f the American expeditionary forces. The committee consisting of Representative Johnson of South Dakota ind Representative Oscar E. Bland )f Indiana, met in the disciplinary jarracks on Governor's Island. The ;hird member of the sub-committee, Representative Flood, of Virginia, was not present. The men "higher ip" who were directly charged by witnesses with responsibility for the prison conditions included Brig. Gen. W. W. Harts, former commander of the American troops in the Paris district; Major General Frederick Smith Strong, of the Fortieth division; Col. Edgar Grinstead, commander of the 158th infantry, and Col. J. S. Maul, [>f the field artillery. A number of captains and lieutenants also were named as having taken an actual part in the brutal treatment of the prisaners. At the close of the day Representative Johnson, who is chairman if the committee announced that all :ases in which charges were made srould be placed before the inspector general of the American army and ?very effort made to bring - guilty ;o punishment. "From the evidence before the :ommittee", said Mr. Johnson, "it Reduced Summer Fjleni and you get out of i $' l less than Park seems clear to us that while sergeants and lieutenants were punished, they were merely the scapegoats of the higher officers. We want to discov-J er who were (the men higher up, and we will do everything in our power to see that they are brought to trial. J It is apparent that this was not a case of brutality in an individual prisoner, but that similiar conditions existed in all the prisons of France." The principal witness at the hearing today was Col. T. Q. Donaldson of the inspector generals department, who made an official investigation of the prisons after the first charges of brutality were made public. Under close questioning by Representative Bland and with obvious reluctance, Col. Donaldson admitted that responsibility for the conditions in the Paris prison camps concerning which some of the most sensational charges of brutality have been made, must be laid to Gen. Harts. He was then questioned sharply as to the reasons why Col. Grinstead, who hoi bc.en in charge of farm No. 2, had never been brought to trial, although Col. Donaldson in his report recommended his court-martial for neglect of duty. i "Is it possible", asked Mr. Bland, i "tnat nign opicers iook me position i that they would not convict a man of j the rank of colonel and that they had I a good part in the person of 'HardI Boiled' Smith?" j "I have nothing to say aibout that." "Do you know of any reason", persisted Mr. Band, "why Col. Grinstead (should not have ibeen brought to j trial?" j "I suppose the superior officers had some good reason," replied the witness. "It is a serious reflection on the I American expeditionary forces/' | commented Mr. Bland. "If a sentry goes to ileep on duty he is shot,' but | if an officer goes to sleep on duty j and hands of boys are beaten up he I is given r.n honorable discharge." i Engraved cards and wedding invi_ I 'rations at rress and Banner Co. !
