JUDGE POPE'S FUNERAL.
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

Newberry.Wofford Ball Game.
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:

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
