TIA' manufacturers of fertilizers, with many thousands of dollars in vested in their costly plants and ex pensive machinery, are entitled un der thc law to protection and safe guard of their rights, but we have thought that Section 15 10 might be further simplified without Impairing its efficiency or protection to both parties. However, lt is not the col lege, but the Legislature, which makes these laws, and we are hound to obey or be held responsible for the analysis of illegal samples which we had no tight to make. In our directions to farmers for sending these samples we do not ask them to tell us who made the ferti lizer or how much of each ls guaran teed, hut only to tell us whether lt contains phosphoric acid, ammonia or potash, or all three of them. I am sometimes asked if these farm ers' analyses could not he made with out knowing the names of the In gredients? 1 reply, Yes, hut thc son we ask these ita mes ls to econo mize time and expense in their analysis. In this way. if the chem ists are told to look for phosphoric acid, they make a solution to anal yze for this only; if told lt contains potash and phosphoric acid, then they are told lo examine for these two; or if told it contains ammonia phosphoric acid and potash, then .hey are told to examine for all three. ll we were told nothing, every sample containing only one ingredient would have to he exam ?nod for all three, and thus consumo time and expense without any addi tional security or advantage to lite larmer.

Tho most alarming danger to I he children of this country to-day is tho ?rapid spread of tho disease known as Infantile paralysis. According to an article In Hampton's Magazine for December there are from 20.000 to 25,000 cases ol' tho disease in the United State? at present, and au thorities place the minimum number or cases since 1905 at 100,000. The article ls written by Dr. Jacolyn Man ning, who was secretary of the West Wisconsin District Medical Society, and In charge of stamping out the epidemic lhere. During the past year Dr. Manning luis made a spe cialty of the study of infantile paral ysis and In her held has been na tional scope. The following extract from her article shows lite fearful ravages of tho disease. "The disease, infantile spinal pa ralysis, has prevailed In epidemic form in Ibo United States during the past four summors. In 1907 lt swept the North Atlantic seaboard. In 1008 Wisconsin was visited byan epidemic of five hundred cases re ported by me. The Massaehusetts epidemic of 923 cases lu 1909 was reported by Dr. Robert Lovett, of Boston. Pennsylvania has reported 800 cases for thc summer of 1910. Rhode Island, Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Wiscon sin and Idaho-all have paid fearful toll, while other States have not been exempt. "Statistics are difficult to get. as the disease has been placed but late ly on the reportable list by the hoards of health of the most .seri ously menaced States A conserva tive estimate from authoritative sources places tho minimum number of eases since 190.") at 100,000. There aro 20,000 to 25,000 cases lu the United States at present. Of every hundred cases Hf teen result in death, ton completely recovered and sixty or more were left with permanent paralysis of one or more limbs. This means that six or seven children in every ten at (ticked hy the disease, tire doomed to go through the years without the complete use of their bodies, a small percentage with both legs useless, some with u leg or with an arm withered, some with feet clubbed and misshapen, but all han . dicapped in some degree for the race of life."

Langford, a promi nent citizen of Brimson, just outsido Hie limits of tile town yesterday ex cited great interest and for a timo much speculation as lo tho circum stances of the affair. Mr. Langford left his home about 8 o'clock in the morning to go to his saw mill, aboiut. three miles away, stating lils Inten tion lo return, as usual, at dinner time. Mis absence from home until after dark alarmed lils wife, who sent lu search of him and loamed that he had not been at tho nilli during tho entire day, and nothing could he learned of lils whereabouts or of lils horse and buggy. Tho alarm was spread and a searching party was soon on the way travelled hy Langford to his nilli, which was along one of the most fre quented highways leading from the town. The signal of discovery was to be a pistol shot and very soon a pistol shot rang out In rear of the foremost searchers. In a copse of thickly wooded land skirting the broad road, and at a point not more than fifty yards from them, and about one-half milo from the town, the horse and buggy were found, the horse securely hitched to a tree, still harnessed to the buggy. Ahout thirty feet away Langford lay dead. Ho was lying on his back on his buggy robe, which , had appar ently been carefully spread upon the ground. There were no signs of vio lence or blood upon the body and the theory of suicide was suggested. There were certain appearances, how ever, which refuted tho suicide sug gestion, and closer examination re vealed a bruise on the back part, of the head near the ear. Extreme rigor mortis and other appearances indicated that death had occurred not later than 0 a. m., or about that time, about twelve hours before the Unding of the corpse. Negro Suspected. After the consolidation of certain facts and Indications, suspicion point ed to a negro man, whose home ls several miles distant, but who has been working in the immediate vi cinity ol' the town ol' Brimson the greater part of the year. Ile was found and arrested, and contradic tory answers to questions propound ed strengthened the belief ol all in his guilt. Sei ions consultation followed, the result of which was a visit to the home of a former white tenant on th<> roadside, only about two hun dred yards from where the hotly was found. Here lived a man whose family consisted of himself and four (laughters - the oldest about. 20 and thc youngest about v'ghl years of age. The eldest daughter-under .suspicion-was arrested, and after slighl hesitation, admitted that she was present when deceased came to his death, and that death was the result ol' a blow delivered by the negro under arrest; thal he stole stealthily up behind Mr. Langford and dealt the blow with a stick: that aller the blow deceased did not move nor speak. The crowd ol' men by this time was rapidly increasing, and the ne gro was dexterously slipped from the crowd, carried beyond the county line and lodged in the Barnwell jail. He is about :;<i years of age and of average Intelligence, Richard Wil liams hy name. The young white woman. .Mary Harris, was placed in the Hampton county jail. Tile deceased was about Till years ol' age. Ile was a brother of former County Treasurer Langford and leaves a childless widow and many relatives in the conn'y. Williams, thc alleged slayer of Langford, was taken lo Barnwell hist nigh; in an automobile and lodged in the county jail for safekeeping. Fear ol' lynching if left in Hampton coun ty was the cause of his removal. Very little is known of the case oilier than contained in above dis patch.

New York, Nov. 28.-The Federal government to-day bogan one of its most Important actions against great corporations, which are said to have violated the Sherman anti-trust law. Henry A. Wise, United Stales District Attorney, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern Dis trict of New York a petition asking for the dissolution of the American Sugar Relining Company and 21) other corporations, which compose the so-called sugar trust.

The thirty companies composing the sugar combine have an aggregate capitalization ol' $2:50,000.000 and control a large percentage of tue out. put of sugar in this country. The combine is able, the government al leges, to lix prices arbitrarily.
