Sincere Tribute Paid to Distinguished Soldier and Statesman-His Pas tor's Eulogy. The funeral services of former Chief Justice Y. J. Pope, who died at his home'in this 'city Wednesday aft ernoon, were held Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the First Baptist church, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The services 'were conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Geo. A. Wright, assisted by the Rev. M. L. Banks, of the Methodist church. Tribute From Pastor. Mr. Wright paid a beautiful tribu,te -to the deceased, who had been an of ficer of this church since 1885. - :Mr. Wright said that the first of his offcers to go after he became pastor of the First Baptist chuxrch was Jno. S. Carwile, the second was the son, Jno. B. Carwile; thie third, Jno. R Leavell, the fourth, Michael Werts, .and the fifth, Y; J. Pope. Judge Pope was elected a deacon in 1885, to succeed W. T. Wright, andi during all these years 'he had beenI very faithful and conscientious in tlie edischarge of the duties of the position, to which he was called by the mem :bers :o the church. Like that other great man and cit 'izen of Newberry county, John Belton O'Neall, 'the alif.e of Judge Pope was1 'intimately and honorably associated -with everything':that made for the best citizenship -of 'his counfty and the State; at large. 'He "was always ready with his talents and his time, and his life was spent in the service of his coun try and his God. He shrank from no 'taks, however arduous, and he per formed all of them with a high sense >of bonor. He was gentle, kind, sympathetic tand thoughtful. Greatness is simpli city, and simplicity is greatness, and this. s4implicity was exemplified in the life of the distinguished dead. None who ever knew him can ever forget the smile and graceful bow and hear ty handshake which were always char acteristic o'' him even during his last' illness. Some one had said in paying tribute to 'him that he was without malice, and it might -be st.id with equal truth, without guile. If he could not speak a ki-nd word of his fellow-man, die would not speak at all, and in this' he showed great npastery of self. Honorary Escort. An honorary escort, conposed of the justices and other officers of the supreme court, the local bar and vis iting attorneys, .James D. Nance Camp, U. C. V., Drayton Rutherford chapter, U. D). C., accompanied the body to the church. Th~1e faculty and studenits of. Newberry college&, oft which institution .itice Pope was for' many ye'ars and and loyal friend, attended the funeral in a body. At the conclusion of the .services at the church the cortege proceeded to Rosemont cemetery, where the interment was had. The numerous floral tributes were among the most beautiful ever seen in New berry. From Out-of-Town. Among those from out of town pres ent were: Chief Justice Ira B. Jones and Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary, of the supreme court; U. R. Brooks, clbrk of the supreme court; C. M. Efird, reporter of the supreme court; R. H. Jennings, State treasur er; Prof. F. H. Colcock, of thg South Carolina university; former Attorney General D. C. Ray, P. H. Nelson, of Columbia; J. B. Wingard, of Lexing ton; Dr. T. T. Moore, Dr. S. E. Har man and Dr. L. C. Lipscomb, of Co lumbia. There was present from the county a Confederate Veteran, who was very much affected, J. C. Wilson, who said he was in ten feet of Judge Pope at the battle of Cedar Creek, when the judge lost his eye by a minnie ball from the enemy. The town bell was tolled as the funeral procession mov I ed to the cemetery in honor of the distinguished dead, and all business was practically suspended. "ANOTHER DROP," BACK TO PEN. Gov. Blease Imposes Abstinence Re striction in Granting Two Paroles. Columbia, March 30.-"Not to touch another drop of liquor" is Governor Blease's explanation of the terms of two rdoles granted by him today in the case of the State against W. L. Henderson and Alf Free, of Saluda county. "If they take one dink the paroles are of no effect," said the got ernor today. The two men are parol ed during good behavior, and it is endorsed upon the petition that they are to let alone intoxicating liquors from now on. Henderson and Free were convicted of the killing of N. M. Morse. They were sentenced in 1907 and the sen tence began in August of that year. Henderson was~ given 12 years and1 Free 10 years in the penitentiary. Judge Watts recommended that the petition be granted. The solicitor did not recommend a pardon at this time. There were strong letters e-idorsingI executive clemency. Repres 2ntative W. L. Daniel, of Saluda, appeared be fore the governor in behalf of the men. If the two men drink intoxicat ing liquors they are to be re:"rested and serve out the remainder of :heir sentences. Cotton Goods Imported to Greece. Atlanta, Ga., March 31.--Informa tion publiched by the United sStates bureau of manufactures shows that although Greece "consumes 'rnually more -than two and a half mil!!an dol lars worth of cotton importe, which are sum*med unger three main heads -raw cotton, cotton yarns, and cot ton goods, almost without exception, he importers of Pattras, when asked why they do not carry American goods, state that they have never so much as seen samples of American cotton goods. The million .dollars' worth of cotton goods which are annually consumed in the Patras district, which erabraces the ports of Patras, Calamata, and Corfu, are practically all broug~ht rom abroad, and they constitute one 2f the chief items of import into the1 istrict. There are in the city of Pat-1 ras alone 25 firms engaged in the imn-. oortation of cotton goods. This; woulda ee*m to offer a splendid field for a ealthy expansion of the export eot- 1 :on goods trade of the South. There re now three lines of fast steam ships plying between New York and Patras, with an~ average sailing of mele a week. It takes 15 days for a argo to go from Liverpool to Patris. n the same length of time the present ervice will deliver a~ cargo from New ork to Patras. The United States consul at Patras tates he would take pleasure in mnak ng a display of samples of American otton goods to the Patras importers I f the proper materials and price lists I vere mnade? available.

In one of the fastest and pretties1 games of ball played in Newberry ir years, Newberry college and Wofford battled for twelve innings last Friday afternoon without either team scor ing a run. The nothing-nothing tie proved to be a veritable pitchers' bat tle between Eidson, on the Newberry mound, and Stilwell for Wofford. While neither of the warriors was able to show any marked supremacy over the other the odds were slightly in favor of Eidson, he striking out 12 men, while Stilwell's total was five. Neither pitcher issued a free pass to first, 'and both were invincible when hits meant runs. Four safeties from the delivery of Stilwell is the story of Newberry's ability to hit, while the best that Wofford could do with the slender and sturdy Eidson, was to connect safely three times. Only four times in the whole game was there any danger of a run being scored, Nowberry threatening thrice, Wofford once. Fast and spectacular fielding prevailed throughout the con test and always prevented the much coveted score. In the fourth inning Newberry's best chance to score cane as. follows: Boozer, first man up, singled to left, Smeltzer bunted and Boozer Was forced out at second. Smeltzer then stole second and Neal tracked out what looked to be a safe hit to tight, but Edens, by a bit of sensationa:l fieldih-g, went up into the air,- pulled down Nea-ls hit and threw him out at first, holding Sme$tzer on second. With two out and a man dn second, Wise singled beautifully to centre and Walker, by a perrect throw to the plate, killed SmelZzer in an at tefiipt to score. Newber y had another chance to score in the eighth, when, with one dut, Hazel hit to right for three bases. Edens then starred again by gcing back into centre and robbing Eidson of a hit and holding Hazel on third. Stilwell then tightened up and retired the side by striking out the next batter. In the ninth Black, on first, saved the day for Wofford again, when he went back.into right field, and by a sensational running catch of~a fly ball, retired the side. Had 'he not caught the ball, Wright would have scored easily from second. After this inning Newberry never threat;ened to score agaim. In the sixth i-nning, Edens,'. ofWf ford, hit a long one to centre, which Epting failed to get under, anid Edens made two bases on it. At second 'he collided with Umpire Hardeman, and under the rules of the game was al lowed to go to. third. With a man on third and two put, things looked a lit tie 'bad for Newberry, but the side ,was retired without a score by a bit - of fast fielding by Smeltzer. This was the only time Wofford camne near to scoring and the only time- they got a man as far as third base. The most prominent fielding fea tures of the game were the work of Boozer, at' short, for Newberry and Edens, at second, and Walker, in ccn Lre, for Wofford. Boozer played like a professional at sho1t, many t, tn.s pulling off beautiful plays which pull ad Newberry over on the safe side. Wright, at first, for Newber-ry, alsa ~eatured when he went ove:' oi i.he ~ouI line in the fifth and made one of he prettiest pick-ups ever seen on he college diamond. The work of fohnstone at second, Smeltzer at third, Lnd Wise in left, was also brilliant. Aalker, Edens and Black were the ielding stars for Wofford.I Next Wednesday Wofford comes for Lnother game and a 'large crowd hould be on hand as a good game is ssured. Score of Friday's game as follows: Newberry.

I* * By Sam Bowles. * * * * * * *.* * * * * * If it were not for the laws govern ing the inspection and analysis o commercial fertilizers, South Caro lina would be made dumping for fer tilizers that could not be sold it States having an inspection law. N< one, not even a chemist, without chemical analysis can tell the differ ences in the value, for instance, of at 14-3-3 fertilizer and a 10-4-4 fertilizer The farmers would simply be at th, mercy of the manufacturers (an< there are always some unscrupulou: manufacturers) were it .not for thi fertilizer analysis conducted at Clem son college. It is the purpose of thi; article to show bow this analysis is carried on. The general assembly of Soutl Carolina makes laws governing the in spection and analysis of commercia fertilizers, and the board of trustee. siiply carry out these laws. There are two kinds of samples namely, "official samples," drawn b3 the college inspectors, and "farmerf samples," drawn by any purchaser it a manner prescribed by law. For the collection of official samples the State Is divided into fourteen districts with an inspector for each district. These inspectors canvas the several districts and collect samples wherevetr they find fertilizers. These samples are placed in thirty-two ounce bottles, sealed, and numbered, in the presence of a witness who writes with the in spector an .affidavit to the effect that the sample is a just and fair one, and drawn In accordance with .the law. These samples are then -sent to Mr. H. M. Stackh.ouse, secretary of the board of fertilizer control. Upon receipt of these samples, by Mr. Stackhouse, they are turned over to the chemical department by au:n bers only, and skilled chemists are directed to look for the ingredients claimed by the manufacturer. The name of the manufacturer and the percent of each ingredient claim ed by the man,ufacturer is not known to the chemist. The chemist is, how ever, given the ingredient, but not the amount, or per cent. guaranteed' by the manufactu1rer for the following reasons: If for instance, potash alone is claimed by the manufacturer, it is utter. folly and waste of time and money t look for ponsphoric acid and amfoia. It takes just as much time, and costs just as much money to prove the absence of an ingredient as it does to prove the presence of an ingredient. The chemists will have o analyze about 1,400 "official sam :te" tis season, and this means abut 7,000 sepa.rate determinations. It will to im'po.;ib1' for them to com lete this work hefore the first of July. Now if they were required to make a complete analysis of any fer tilizer sent in there is no tell ing when the work of the season ould be completed, When an analysis is completed, the chief chemist sends the result of the nalysis to the secretary of the board f fertilizer control. Should the sam ple tall below the guarantee, in any ngredient, the secretary returns the ample and the chemists are required o make another anlysis to correct or ffirm th.e first analysis. The results of the analysis are then published and every mianufacturer whose goods fall below the limit prescribed by law (3 ier cent.) has his name published in black letters with a black index hand ointili to it. Thaee reultsanro nnh WILLOWBBOOK PARK. 1 It is Welcoming the Spring-A Beau. D tiful Spot And a Source of 1 D Enjoyment. 1 With the coming of the spring, Wil D lowbrook park, in West End, is cloth ) ing itself with the beautiful vestments D of the season, and nature and ma-0s1 . I. handiwork are combining to make it - a most delightful spot. Numbers of1 t J people enjoyed the afternoon there on 1 Sunday, and as the spring advances and summer comes on, its popularity Ki 1i i will continue to increase. 3 This park, laid out by the mi an thorities as a place of recreation, for - those who labor in the Newberry cot a ton mills, has received much care aad 1 attention, and ag Tpegn raad? wel;, nigh an ideal park. Located along -the banks of Scott's creek, with a large and substantial and attratirt I pavilion, with its grounds artistically I laid out in grass plats with the walKs 1 betwee, with its rustic bri'iges and its beautiful flowers-li a word, with I its ideal location and its 3rtistic de- I velopment-it has filued a great ieed J i in the life of the community. anI hr; t been 4 source of much and of true t pleasure to the people. whose work ' necessarily keeps them greatly con- e tlned. Willowbrook park is not. only fre- 4 quented by the people for whom it one can get these bulletins by s.m ply sending his name to J. N. -Hook,j secreta'ry of the board of experiment station control, with the request that I his name be put on the mailing list. IIt is absolutely necessary that those sending -fertilizers to be analyzed give ' the name of the manufacturer for else S the secretary of the board of fertilizer t control would not publish the results 1 for the benefit of the people of the State. If a manufacturer falls below k his guarantee on his goods he is sub- t] ject to prosecution and is required h to pay the farmers the difference be- ' tween the value of the fertilizer as t] shown by the analysis and the value a: as shown by his guarantee. ti Te1Farmers' Samples. pur Th aw prescribes that any pr chaser of fertlizers may take a sam pIe within fifteen days after deliveryt and in the same way that the inspec-T tor does, the drawing to be made in the presence of two witnesses, one! chosen by the buyer and one by theF seller. The seller must have six days notice, and the sample must be sealed in the presence of a third disinterest ed .witness. All three witnesses mustI sign a certificate that is sent with the Is( sample to the secretary of the board of fertliizer.control. The analysis is o1 made in the same way as for the "of- I ficial sample." The ingredients claim-b ed should be given, but it is not nec- ax essary to give the per cent guarantee. These .rules are~ necessary for the pro tection of the manufacturer,as well as for the farmer. r sif *Those of us who are taking the ag ricultural courses are given both theB oretical and practical instruction in the H. analysis of commercial fertilizers dur-' p mn our junior and sen,ior years. Thus we learn for ourselves what fertilizer se analysis is. We will be very glad to introduce any of our farmer friends ~ at any time to our instructors who e will gladly show them' through the Ia- lad boratories and explain more in detail the methods of this work. C ____ ____ ____ ____dr< Refuses Petitions. on Columbia, March 31.-Gov. Blease "T established a record today when he thi vas set apart and laid out, rut by the eople of the. city generally. This :ommingling has brought them closer ;ogether, and has been a source of leasure to all, but the fact is that on >ccasions the park has been 'over ;rowded-or the pavillion, rather, be-. Sause it would take a great throng to )vercrowd the spacious grounds. strange to say, the people of the east ide of the city, wfio snow by their requenting Wdl.lowbrook that they realize the demand for a park and - th.at they are eager to take advan age of the pleasures of a park, have never got together and built a park in the east side of the city. The Id er's park, however, is coming aldsg . aicely, and it may not be fong unti:; :here is another park along the bankg Af the same creek, further east. A park is a great thing for th hildren, and it is a great thing -r :he older people as well. It is a great hing for a town to aford' a plae= vhere its people may. spend a little "' chile in refreshing quietude among " he beauties of nature.
