COTTON FARMERS
ARE DEPRIVED
OF GERMAN KALI
Berlin, Dec. 9.?Gentian industrial
circles are both stirred and puzzled
Aver the decision of the United Stat
es government to revoke the permis-|
?on granted to Director General.
Dnehressen of the Kali Potash syn-j
iieate, to go to America for the ^ur-j
pose of negotiating a large potash:
deal.
Duehressen was given permission,
by Washington to go to America, but
upon his "arrival at Genoa, whence he!
was to sail, he was advised that the j
permission had been withdrawn. No I
reasons were given for the decision!
to cancel the permission.
Prior to the war the United States
v bought $20,000,000 worth of potash:
aanually from Germany as fertilizer1
for American farmers, particularly
cotton growers.
The Germans made heavy cuts in
the prices for the fertilizer, and they;
bow declare that it would mean much
cheaper fertilizer for American farm- j
en and greater profits fot the cotton
growers. It is believed that interests;
i? the ^United States who still have !
tege-quantities of Kali, which was
purchased at high prices, want to
compel the farmers to buy that, and '
are therefore instrumental in keeping '
atytjie much cheaper German Kali,!
and have succeeded in having the '
s Duehressen permission revoked.
:In Kali circles it is declared that
I
the Germans are now ready to take'
in American capital ip the German i
syndicate up to twenty per cent. I

aiy about possum hunters, but it ap-:
pears now that rabbit hunters have
the floor. Lieut. Sing Finley accom
panied by Sam Patterson and John j
Henry Cox called on the rabbits on
the old Miller place near Fair's bridge j
sne day this week, and when they had '
finished they had gathered in 41 cot-!
Ion tails and had "treed" and caught1
two possums besides.
We saw Sing yesterday and he j
fooled like a rabbit. He has been j
having friend rabbit for breakfast,
rabbit pie for dinner and barbecued j
nlihit. fnr sunner everv dav since his,
i J
return from the hunt and his good f
wife has promised herself that she
"wiU make Sing eat every rabbit he
Brought home and that he shall have
nothing else until he does so. ' So
Sing is down at the job, and with the
kelp of John Henry and Sam and a
few friends he is "deflfa <ng" the rab
bit reserves on his side of town.

Hugh Johnson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. M. Schumpert, died at the J
home of his parents December 7, in j
the 10th year of his age. About ten j
days ago, the little boy was severely!
burned. From the beginning physi- j
cians held out small hope of recov-'
ery, but as the * days passed and the1
patient little sufferer seemed to j
hold his otai so well, renewed ht>pe i
sprang up in the hearts of loved
ones. A change came, and Tuesday
evening as the shades of night be
gan to fall the pure soul of the in
nocent little child went back to its
God. "Dottie, as he was familiarly
called had been afflicted from his
earliest, infancy by nature he was
endowed with a delicate constitu
tion and a frail body yet within that
frail body there beat a little heart
warm with affection and sympathy
for those he loved. For one so frail
and young, he was gifted with a
strong memory and a playful, mer
ry disposition.
Funeral exercises were conducted
at the home by Rev. Ballenger of
the . Methodist * church and Rev.
Clotfelter of the Presbyterian
church. Interment was made in
Smyrna cemetery.
- Much sympathy is felt for the be
reaved family /over the tragic death
of their first born, yet they know
"All is well with the child, Earth
. , , ..I
na3 no sorrow neaven cannot neax. j

"Later I took a bottle of Cardui as a
tonic. I can recommend Cardui and glad- <

would save a great deal of worry and .
