K A IS I, PRICE OF FERTILIZER. Tay of $200,000 May Re Placed on Palmetto Farmers. Columbia, March 31.-That the Payne tariff bill now pending In Con gress provides for a duty of 20 per cent OP potash cVts, thus laying a burde'i on South Carolina farmers of $200,000, ls the alarming statement .which comes to Commissioner Wat son from Prof. J. N. Harper, of Clem son College. "This will probably re sult in the sending of a committee from the farmers' Union to Washing ton to look into the matter and urge the killing of this section of the tariff bill. Commissioner Watson to-day wir ed Congressman Lever the facts In the case, and asked what should be done from this end In this matter of vital importance, not only to the far mers, but to the whole State. In the meantime Commissioner Watson is considering the calling together of the State Farmers' Union and other farmers' unions thorughout the State to meet here and consider this situa tion which 'Would bring about such a blow to the agricultural interests of South Carolina. The letter from Prof. Harper tj Commissioner Watson ls as follows. Clemson College, S. C., March 29. -Hon. E. J. Watson, Columbia, 8. C.: Dear Sir-I understand from the German Kali people that Section 3 of the Payne tariff bill imposes a duty of 20 per cent on potash salts. I think that this ls an outrage. This will mean that South Carolina will pay an additional duty to the govern ment of about $200,000 per year. This will come largely from the far mers. Most of the potash salts, which are now on the free Hst, are consumed by Southern farmers, as sandy solis are more deficient In pot ash than clay soils, and most of the soils of the South are sandy. Some thing should be done to let Congress know that the people of the South protest against any such treatment. Very truly yours, J. N. Harper, Director. Commissioner Watson states that the situation ls very serious, and that everything possible will be done to let lt be known that the farmers of this State protest against any such additional duty on the product, which is so necessary to the farm.

Willimantic, Conn.-"For five years I suffered untoid agony from female troubles, causing backache, irregulari ties, dizziness and nervous prostra tion. lt was impossible for me to walk upstairs Without slopping on tho way. I tried three differ ent doctors and each told me some thing different. 1 received no benefit from any of them, but seemed to suf fer more. The last doctor said noth ing would restore roy health. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to see what it would do, and I am restored to roy natural health."-Mrs. ETTA DONOVAN, Box 20f?, Willimantic, Conn. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be used with perfect confidence by women who suffer from displacements, inflam mation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, ir regularities, periodic pains, backache, bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indi gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra tion. 7 For thirtyyears Lydia E. rinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female lils, and suffering women owe it to themselves to at least give this medicine a trial. Proof is abundant that it has cured thousands of others, and why should it not cure you ? A CALL TO THE U. D. C. Miss six'lor .Ma Ni-s Appeal for Wo men to Organize. On April 9 Lee gave up his arms, See him with the same manly bear ing bidding a loving farewell to his men; see the ragged and foot-sore men, with tears in their eyes, leaving their immortal hero, returning to their homes ('{) No, ash banks. See Lee ride Traxeler home; see him in the encircling gloom planning for tho future as he rode. "Little minds are tamed by misfortune, yes, subdued, but great ones rise above it." Lee was not conquered,' nov did he surrender-he just laid down the sunni and fought for Southern rights with a truer weapon. That was training men to be "meu." See him in the class room; a big salary offered him. See the "man" refuse lt; hear him say, "111 fares the land, to hasting ills a prey,' where wealth accumulates and men decay." See him die a hero. No nation ever had such warriors as our Southland-Hampton, Lee and "Stonewall"-soldiers who trusted in God; men of whom Father Ryan said, "They sleep the sleep of nobles slain, defeated, yet without a stain -proudly and peacefully." The ' Private"-the man behind the gun-God bless him! He fought the battle, slept on a rail, ate dead cow flesh or anything he could get; but when "to boots and saddles" was sounded ho was ready, and, when the war was over, went to the land once blooming as a rose, now a deserted place. As he went a voice was heard, "1 will not leave thee nor forsake thee." Through tho darkest hours yet, "Reconstruction days," he show ed to the world ho was a "man." See him now, suffering with pains brought on by exposure In the war; see him getting old when he should be young; see him being hauled In a wagon to the poor house, while his sons ride by In a dashing tourist car. Fair sisters, shall we let this be? 'Tis our solemn duty to meet and organize a U. D. C., mark the graves with crosses, put flags In all the school rooms, and pictures, too, *of our heroes; make the children fa miliar with the history of our South land. History repeats itself, and unless we teach the children ' J ,e "men" like these, their lives will be a failure. 1 was asked, "Why do you love to do this work? You get no pay?" My answer was this: "1 was paid years ago. 1 am debtor to my noble ancestors. In my veins ls the purest and best blood of ancestors, who, In Gernmny, Scotland, England, were loyal to church and State. In this country road the records of the Harrys, Rylands, Shelors, Pettlgrus, Vernen, Sloans and Striblings, in war and in up-llft work. If I sit still and do not try io do something I am a disgrace to their memory." Dear to this heart is a meeting with Gen. Gordon. At a reception given the general, Miss Hopkins, president of Agnes Scott College, said, "This pupil from Hampton's State was taught to yell for Hamp ton before she was a year old." Gen. Gordon kissed me and said, "Happy should be the child who is taught in her infancy to be a lover of the country," and, raising his eyes to God, he said, "I pray that this child will give her life to her State as Hanpton did." I am very poor In this "orld's goods, but I have a big heart for the suffering, and to see an old soldier In the poor house ls more than I can stand. Poor-yet God has given me a heart, and my State has given me a typewriter, and with this I will make a feeble plea for those men who are In need, and for the children of our county. Emerson said, "Men are what their mothers mako them," so, mo thers, come out Friday and help, for If we forget the noble deeds of our ancestors we will never do anything that will be remembered by our re mote descendants. That ls not thc correct quotation, but come out and make it correct. Marve R. sheior. Earthquake in Virginia. Winchester, Va., April 2.-Two distinct shocks of earthquake were felt hero about 2.20 this morning. While no reports of damage have been received, many residents vere awakened and considerable alarm was felt. Reports from Charlestown and flarper'8 Ferry, W. Va., show that the quake was felt there. The vibrations lasted about one half minute ?.ach and were from west to east. During the spring every one would be benefited by taking Foley's Kid ney Remedy? It furnishes a needed tonic to the kidneys after the extra strain of winter, and lt purifies the blood by stimulating the kidneys, and causing thom to eliminate the im purities from it.

I -M st Emblem of Our Domination In Cuba Disappears. Havana, March 31.-The last em blem of American domination over Cuba disappeared at noon to-day wlieu the garrison flag at Camp Co lumbia fluttered down the pole and was replaced a moment later by the lone star red banner of the Cuban Republic. The ceremony attending the transfer of authority took place In the presence of tho American gar. rlson of Camp Columbia. At the direction of Major Gen. T. H. Barry, commanding, Lieut. Bay ard Sneed, of the 27th infantry, ad vanced to the flagstaff and haule 1 down the colors. The troops pre sented arms and the Cuban and American bands played the "Star Spangled Banner." A Cuban lieu tenant then raised the Cuban colors, and the troops again saluted. The transfer of the camp being thus com pleted the Cuban troops lined the roadside and presented arms, while the Americans, numbering about 800, In heavy marching order, swung past, proceeding to the transports Sumner and McClellan. The passage of the troops through the city did not at tract the least attention, and not more than a dozen visitors at the ar senal witnessed the embarkation. The transport Sumner, under com mand of Col. William L. Pitcher, has a total passenger Hst numbering 837. The McClellan, under the com mand of Lieut. Col. Millard F. Waltz, has a total of 231 passengers, which Includes a company of engineers, offi cers and their families and the civil employees of the army. All the ani mals have been shipped aboard the chartered stean er Progresse, which will proceed for Tampa. The troops will remain on board to-night, the transports sailing for Newport News at 10 o'clock to-mor row morning. Major Gen. Barry will bid his men farewell nnd then accom panied by his aide, will go aboard the Tampa steamer Mascotte, leav ing not a single representative of the American army on Cuban soil. The Cuban troops entered Into tho possession of the quarters of the American officers and men Immedi ately after they were vacated, all the buildings having been cleared and placed in perfect order before the de parture of the Americans. The camp will now become the headquarters of the new Cuban army, and the name probably will then be changed. P. G. Frltt8, Oneonta, N.Y.. writes: "My little girl was greatly benefited by taking Foley's Orino Laxative, and I think it is the best remedy for con stipation and liver trouble." Foley's Orino Laxative is best for women and children, as lt is mild, pleasant and effective, and is a splendid spring medicine, as it cleanses the system and clears the complexion. J. W.

St. Charles, 111., April 2.-Fight ing for two hours desperately yester day with a monster eagle to keep his baby from the menacing talons of the great bird, Peter Johnson, a farmer, with the aid of neighbors, finally captured the king of the air. Fully a score of persons participated In the conflict, and pitchforks, clubs and stones were brought Into service before the bird, exhausted from Its efforts, gave up the battle. Johnson was badly scratched In the encoun ter, although his son was unhurt.

C. H. HUMPHRIES, Walhalla, S. C. INDIANS KILL OFFICERS. Mexican Authorities Try to Collect Taxes and Couflscate Property. El Paso, Texas, April 1.-Rebelli ous at the attempt of the authorities to collect taxes and confiscate prop erty, the Temosachle Indians, in the State of Chihuahua, broke into open warfare late yesterday, killing seve ral tax ofllcers, terrorizing the town, of San Andreas, and cutting the tele graph wires. The Indians then sent out a gene ral call for reinforcements to resist the enforcement of taxes and the con flscation of property. Two train loads of troops have been sent from Chihuahua to quell the rebellion. The ofllcers were killed when they tried to confiscate property because of the non-pnymeot of taxes. Regular troops and Rurales were rushed to the scene when the news first reached Chihuahua, and since then reinforcements have gone out on special trains. The Indians cut the telegraph wires and word of the uprising went to the State capital by telephone. The country ls thickly populated with descendants of Temosachle In dians. The ranchers in the region are known as the "Shprpshootera of Chihuahua," and thej are feared by State officers. The Indians and half breeds alwayB go armed and are skill ed at warfare. There has always been considera ble unrest In the region, especially since the numerous arrests of revolu tionists at Casa Gandes. A few years ago seventy armed Temosachle In dians in open battle stood off a regi ment of troops, killing more than 90 men. They were later forced back to a church, which was stormed by artillery before the Indians were subdued. vim Uti S Pill After eating, persons of a bilious habit will derive great benefit by taking one of these pills.

Take No Substitute. Kully Touring the South. Atlanta, April 1.-Daniel J. Sully, once known as the "Cotton King," ls in Atlanta beginning a tour of the South, which, ho says, Is for the pur pose of perfecting plans which con template the conservativo revolution izing of the manner In which cotton is handled and marketed. "My 'dan when worked out," he added, "will substitute for the pres ent unsuccessful and sometimes ex tortionate middle man a factor, whose role will be very much that of an agent who stands between and represents both the seller and the In vestor In bonds and securities. And we will go before the farmer with such evidence that he cannot doubt lu which direction his Interests lie."
