NO CONSTABLES. The Carey-Cothran Act Dispens ed with This department. By Request Gov. Ansel Special Officers for Chester, Green wood and Greenville. There has been considerable inquiry relative to the stati:is of the constab ulary, as a result of the passage of the Carey-Ck)thran bill. There is ro State constabulary provided for under the Act.: Governor .Ans<il thought, so,, but to make certain.he,took the matter up mti\ Attorney General Lyon, and then with Mr..Stevenson,, of. counsel; pealed to by proper authorities and is satisfied that constables are needed in a county he will appoint them as provided for by the Act, to be paid i for by the county out of the dispen ? sary profits or. the general fund as j the case may be. He has full author-' icy to appoint constables even if they Appoints! are not asked for by constituted au thorities and will do so if he thinks it necessary in any county. The chief State constables is being retained only for a few days, in or der that he may check up claims and wind up the affairs cf the constabu lary department, which cost the State about $70,000 per annum. Governor Ansel has received let ters from various sections of the State relative to the, status of the constables, and he wishes it plainly and definitely understood that, under the terms of the Carey-Cothran bill and J-hebill.tQ wind-up theState dis for the winding up commission, end theyhoth agresed that there isneith- Pensary, that the State constabulary er legal authority nor.money-wrth? force is abolished and there* is no wh?to pay foe constables out-of State fund from whicn to pay con the/money to be handled, by the stables. He expects to see-that the wi^ing-up.commission^ <-? ?< k . are enforced andhas alragy ? Tr^torms of Section 38 of the Ca- ^en thematter'up with ail sheriffs*,, rey-Ck)thrain Act provided:' Section 38. It shall be the duty of -sheriff, their deputies, magistrates, constables, rural police, city and town officials, to enforce the provis 'ioris of this Act. If they fail to do so it is hereby made the duty of the Governor to enforce the same, and he, is hereby authorized to appoint such deputies, constables and detec tives as may be necessary; the salar ies and expenses of such officers to be.paid out of the profits of toe dis pensaries in counties wherein they may be established, and 'out of the ordinary county funds in counties wherein they have not been estab lished. There is, therefore, no St te con mayors and magistrates, but where-1 ever there is a. legitimate need for constables they will be appointed, to be paid for out of dispensary profits, where there are dispensaries, and out of the general county funds where there are no county dispensaries. In response to the general demand Governor Ansel has decided to place two constables in Greenville County and one in Greenwood. These ap pointments are made in response to the public wishes and because it is believed that they will do good, The constables will report daily , to the sheriff and the sheriff must report each week at least to the Governor as to what is being done. The con stables will be paid in Greenville and stebulary force. If a county wants Greenwood by the counties out of constables they will be appointed by the Governor, but they must be paid for out of the (ounty funds. In coun ties with dispensaries the expenses of constables must be paid out of the dispensary profits. In counties with out dispensaries and wanting con stables then the expenses must be borne by the county out of its gener al funds. There is no State fund available. The winding-up commis sion^as no money from which it can pay constables. It will have to do some very tall hustling to get out even." although some time ago some of the friends of the State dispensary system said thatit had bundles of money and real bona fide profits, and that when it came to being insolvent or not being able to pay its debts that it was simply ridiculous, and the usual cry of those anti papers or correspondents. Wait and see! Governor Ansel appointed two con stables to keep in touch with the Chester situation. The sheriff and mayor of Chester asked for constab les, particularly because of the large number 'of labroers on the Power Company plant. Under the arrange ment these constables must report daily to the sheriff of the county and the sheriff must report at least once a week to the Governor as to what the constables are, doing and how things are getting along. Whenever Governor Ansel is ap their general fund, as is now provid ed for by law and as has been the law | for some time. COST NE Ali LI' FIFTY. A Stolen Kiss Proves to b an Expen sive Luxury. It costs a fellow something in Bal timore to steal a kiss from a womau. One little kiss cost George Wilkin son 345.75, according to a decision in the criminal court. Pansy Schmidt a comely woman told the court she was 'tending bar at her husband's! saloon on Mulliken street It was time to close for the night. While reaching with both hands above her head to turn out the lights, she said Wilkinson embrac ed her and stole a kiss. "Go 'way, you hofid thing," she said, and Wilkinson w;ent. .Then e out a warrant for his ar-l ^ P'-tTcon admitted he had thet he had kissed her a number of | issed Mrs. Schmidt, and asserted times before.

I The primary object in using fertilizer Is to produce a larger yield of the crop that 13 to bo immediately grown, or ia already growing, on the land to which j the fertilizer is to be applied. As a rule, it contains from ten to sixteen per cent, of more or leas promptly available plant food. In othtr words, a commercial fer tilizer contains in every hundred pounds weight from 10 to 16 pounds of available phosphoric acid, either alone, or that amount of phosphoric acid and potash combined, or of these two and nitrogen combined, making in the latter case, what is called a "complete" fertilizer. Now, this 10 to 1C pounds in each 100 pounds of the fertilizer is supposed to be, and should tie, practically soluble and avail able at once, or within a week or two, for the use of the crop, says Virginia Carolina Fertilizer Almanac. The remaining portion of the fertilizer, or the Si to 90 pounds In each 100 pounds. Is a mixture of insoluble phosphate and sulphate of limo, some sand, water, or ganic matter and other things that are necessarily incident to the manufacture, and cannot be economically removed. They are of very little immediate value to either the crop or the solL So when wo apply a high-grade fertil izer to the soil the object Is to supply the piants with soluble plant food and Increase the yield of the cotton, grain, giass, or whatever the crop may be. Incidentally, however, this fertilizer does help the land, because It induces a larger growth of stalk, roots and foliage of the plants?or thoao parts that will be re turned to, and become part of the soil. A dose of this fertilizer, for Instance, not only incre&Bes the yield of seed cot ton, but also the size of the stalks, the foliage, hulls and other parts that go immediately back and form a part of the soil in the shape of humus (decayed vegetable matter). But the principal way to improve the soil itself, is to add vege table matter to It In the form of stable manure, renovating crops, rotaUon of crops, etc.. In a more direct t.anner. It would seem manifest, then, if we wiJh to Increase the yield of corn, cotton, wheat, oats, grass, etc,, that the fertilizer should contain the three "elements" of plant food In the proportions that are best suited to the particular crop. This 1h parUcularly true If the purpose is to use liberal amounts of fertilizer per acre. In such case the deficient supply, In the natural soil, of any one or more of the three "valuable" elements (phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash) need not be specially considered. According to carefully conducted field experiments, conducted at many of the experiment Btations, it has been found that cotton requires a fertilizer that con tains about one part each of nitrogen and potash and 3 1-3 Darts of available phos phoric acid. This demand would be met by~a fertilizer containing 10 per cent available phosphoric acid, 3 per cent, of nitrogen and 3 per cent, of potash; or. as ordinarily expressed, a 10?3?3 fertilizer. One analyzing 9?2.70?1.70; or 8-2.40?2.10; or 7?2.10?2.10, etc., would answer Just as TEKK1BLE MISTAKE. Policeman Shot and Ki?ie . . a Burglar in Augu. . Police Officer W. S. V. iikin; was shot and instantly killed in Au^u-ta by E. M. Puller, a n.en lu oi the Augusta Hardware Co., Monday night about 10 o'clock, in an a;.cy in the rear of the stoi e. The w eapon was l double-barrel.ed thottun, at short range, and the ponceman's brains were blown out. The slayer immediately submitted to arrest, and later was released on a $1,000 bond. Mr. Fuller, according to the state ment of his friends, had been work ing in the store; and heai ing some one rattling at the back door, thought because of the. many recent burglar ies that marauders were about to en ter his establishment, and picking up a gun went out of the front, door, followed a side alley to the rear un der the impre6sinn that he was shoot ing at a burglar. , Policeman L. L. Carley was with Officer' Wilkfris at the time of the shooting, and made a full and detail ed statement of the tragedy! The hardware company is at 639 Broad street, a few doors below the Family theatre. Shortly before 10 o'clock Monday night Mr. J. J. Matthews and other people leaving the amuf e ment hall saw Mr. Fuller with a shot gun in his hands hurrying toward the alley a few yards down the street. He was seen to turn into the alley way and after walking a few steps paused, unbreached the weapon, ? loaded it and proceeded. Don't huik i Hd i ?'es can't, "-e cured.

Bull, well, provided these lower grades bo ap plied in heavier quantities. So it has been found that corn, sugar cane, sorghum, grasses and other crops belonging to the grass family respond best to a fertilizer that shall contalr, 10 parts of phosphoric acid, 5 parts of nitro gen and 2 parts of potash? or a 10? 5?Z fertilizer. The following formulas are in precisely the same proportions, only they are of lower grade, P.nd would tfve practically tho same results only when a correspondingly larger application sliaU be made per acre?viz., 9?4.50?1.80; or 8?4.00?1.00; or 7?3.60?1.40. and so on. Of course, these lower grades can be Hold at lower prices than tho high grades; but, as a rule, the farmer will tlncl it more economical to buy the high grades, both on account of their cheaper price per "unit" and also the saving of freight the latter being precisely the same, per ton. for both high and lo./ grades. APPLYING FERTILIZER/ WHEN PLANTING. While it Is certainly true, In our ex perience, that the greater part of th* fer tilizer should bo applied about twe Vepka beforo the crop Is to be plantec, well mixed in the soil of the bedding furrow and bedded on, there are circumstances that would Justify a farmer In making one or more intercultural applications, including one at the actual date of plant ing. The following are such circumstan ces: O) When a farmer has not been able to secure the whole amount of his fer tilizers before planting time. (2) When he concludes, after his crop has been planted and is growing, that he did not buy and apply as much as he should have done before planting. (3) When the yellowish green color and want of vigor in the appearance of the plants indicate that more nitrogen is needed by the crop. We believe It may be safely accepted as a general rule that a small portion of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer should bf applied with, or near the seed, at the time of planting. The efface of this small application Is to supply the young pla.nts with available food during the first stage , of their growth, inducing prompt and vigorous development. For this purpose 40 to 60 pounds per acre may be applied of the same fertilizer that had been k>ed ded on two week9 before planting. A second application of hlgh-grnde fer tilizers may be made at tho second or third plowing of cotton, or at six or eight inches height of the plants up to 18 Inch es, or the middle to last of May, and tho middle to last of June. The intercultural applications may bo made ir. the siding furrow, or the fer tilizer may be strewn alone lr. the middles nhoad of the plow or cultivator. There Is no need to fear that the plants wiU not get the benefit of a high-grade fer tilizer if put anyhere, on or between the rows. June ?>th Is thn latest date at which the writer has ever applied :fer tlllzer In thin way to either corn or cot ton, although there is little reason to doubt that even later applications would benefit the crop; but probably not enough to pay the cost of the fertilizer.
