Strait was senator from Lancaster county up until the time he vacated Che office of senator by qualifying as superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane. His appointment to succeed Dr. Babcock appears to have been received very favorably even from those who were bitterly opposed to any change. As matter of fact, Dr. Strait, a veteran of the War Between the S:ates, former member of congress from his district, and representing his county in the State senate up until the time of his appointment as superiiiten-! tieiu OI uie OLctLU uuspuai, xs a luau . who commands the respect of all who: know him, both" from the standpoint j of character and of professional abil- I ity. He is the kind of man whose friends are devoted to him, and against whom his political enemies have nothing to say. The plans of Dr. J. W. Babcock, who has reiired from the superinrendency of the State Hospital for the Insane, are thus announced in thp Columbia S:ate of Tuesday morning: "Dr. J. W. Babcock former superintendent of the State Hospiral for the Insane, announced yesterday that j he will this week open the Waverley I sanitarium for t!.:e treatment of ner- j vous and mild menial cases.

We will take only a select few white women at first. I have received four applications today. I expect to receive the first case Tuesday or Wednesday. I feel much encouraged by the success of the undertaking. The people of Waverley gave me a cordial welcome this afternoon.' "Dr. Babcock removed from the asylum grounds yesterday, wfaere he has lived for the past 23 years, with his family to their new home in Waverley." Joseph B. Cooley. "Josenh B. Ooolev. the Pride of South 'Carolina," is the vay the "Philippines Monthly'' of January heads an article, prefaced by a double-column cut of Joseph B. Cooley, formerly of Xew berry, now of the Philippine Islands, in regard to the rapid rise of Mr. Cooley in the government service in the Philippines. The article in regard to Mr. Cooley, who has made good in the far East, will be read with interest by his many friends in Xew berry. It follows: "Among the many excellent appointments made by Governor-General Harrison perhaps none was more favorably received by the people of the islands?Americans and Filipnos alike? than that of Mr. Joseph B. Cooley as superintendent of the Prison and i Penal Colony farm at San Romon,' i Zamboanea. Mindana. Joe Cooley is i known far and wide throughout the islands and his friends are a legion. Joe was only a youngster when he enlisted in the 29tJh Volunteer Infantry and started for the Philippines, but he had the soul of a man and he saw some bloody days battling the- pulajanes in Samar. He was at San Mateo when the gallant Lawton was killed and in many other stiff engagernpnts; hpfr?rp hp wac *>i Af fhp plnsp of hostilities he became a member of the secret service department of the ci:y of Manila and although at times there was considerable disagrepabie work 10 do, Mr. Cooiey w~~ >??,Vs r the gentleman ai.d Pue unlucky fellow who l'ou.id himself in the toils knew t.ia Mr. Coolev was merely pe i'orming a du:y and that he was certain oi getting a square deal as far as Cuoley ; was concerned. In 1S?k; Mr. Coo'ev was appointed chief auen of the Philippine constabulary, taking the place j of F. L. Carpenter, who was killed in i I airinifl whilo twiner 1 r\ i. m nr;> thn nn. torious Sukay and his ba :id f outlaws. .Mr. Cooley's services with the constabulary has won for him the highest praises of the men who have commanded that organization and many delicate missions nave been entrusted to him. It might be expected natuYally that a man carrying out the duties Mr. Cooley has had ro perform would j ! make a great number of enemies for ! himself, but somehow or other Joe could not seem to make anything but friends. "All of the leading Filipinos are his friends and among those who were I the firs: to requst Mr. Cooley's appointment to a better position in the j government service was Gove: nor Lukban, of Tayabas Province, whom Cooley had fought against in the Sa- j mar campaign. "Mr. Cooley comes from a State that j has produced some of America's great- j est statesmen and soldiers, t.:e grand | old State of Sou:a Carolina, and Cool-J ey is proud of i;. He thought so much ! I 01 his native State that when he decided to settle down none but a charming South Carolina girl would do him for a wife. 'in August, 1911, he married Miss 'Annie Lee La.:ford, of Lanford, South ' I Carolina, and if Joe Cooley was popu- j lar before uiiat date he was doubly so ! after his bride arrived here. Mr. Cooley is a member of several organizations, among them the Sons of th? ! Revolution, the Sons of the Confeder- j acy and the Veteran Army of the Phi! - j ippines.

I Washington, March 18.?Now that .he urgen: deficiency appropriation bill has passed the senate it is in order to explain the full significance of the pellagra uospital item of $47,000 which was mentioned by The News and Courier's correspondet when the mojenro hafrvra flip hmisp ill Feb ruary. It was not advisable to go into deails until the item liad been approved by both branches of congress. The adoption of this item means that the public health sei vice will establish immediately at Spartanburg, in the building of the Good Samaritan hospital, the field institution for the treatment of pellagra as declared necessary by the secretary of the treasury in a letter to congress dated De cember 30, 1913. Be importance or the hospital is not tc| be estimated by the $47,000 urgent deficiency appropriation. That sum, which will be available at once and until completely used, is but the initial emergency provision. After July 1 next the public health service will be able to draw on the j $200,000 item carried annually by the j sundry civil bill for combating "the J ? ^ ^ ?

As the Good Samaritian hospital building is provided free of cos: for ihe government's use, it will be seen that toe public herftti servict will be prepared to handle pellagra patients in very large numbers at Spartanburg. Indeed, such an impression has been made upon the house appropriations committee by Representative Joseph T.

Special to The Herald and News, j Clemson College, March 19.?-That! ; the "S:uckey bill," which sought -co j prevent the use of inferior materials : in the manufacture of fertilizers, was ui;ii?cessaiy is the statement of H. M. > 'X ni i. ^c .A Siariviiouse, secretary ui oi<a<.c 1 board cf fertilizer control. Mr. S,ackhouse said, speaking of the bill, that the board two years ago anticipated the need of such protection .0 buyers | and required an availability of new ammoniate materials about equal to cotton seed meal, blood, fish, etc. Mr. Stack'.iouse said that the board was already doing what the "Stuckey bill" would have required and was doing it | in a more economical and practical! way. "As the use and sale of commercial fertilizers grew," continued Mr. Stackhouse, "the supply of these ammoniates would not meet the demand, except at prohibitive prices, and manufacturers began to introduce and to i | use some tha; were considered infer- ! ior and objectionable. Under the gen-! oral name of "tankage", a slaughterhouse by product of tried and well ! ecognlzed agricultural value, they; began :o use any tank re :dered nitro- j genous material. "The cnemists of ihis and o:her sta- 1 t tions tell us that some of these pro-j ducts can b:> treated with sulphuric acid and made soluble ammoniates j;:s. as ground phosphate rock so1 trea.ed becomes soluble acid phos-j !>' >.? n nn/1 onmn oYiiorit>iPnt< in fbp ! field at the S.

But the board of con:rol served notice on | manufacturers who offered for sale in this Sta-.e such materials that they must explicitly register such use, ac< -mpanied by a certificate of analysis by s-me reputable chemis: hat they had required availability as plant-food. The laboratory at Clemson college rhpn tpsts nil mixed fertilizers for t'Je standard required and 'blacklists and publishes for the information of buyers any fertilizers found below standard. "These new aminonia.eis cost less to the manufacturers, who should be ! willing to share this difference with ! the consumers, and this fact is lead- j ing to much of the agitation in favor, of home-mixing. To meet this de- j mand, the department lias issued two bulletins giving instructions and all. sorts of formulas for mixing at home, whidii may be had on application to Clemson college." Mr. Stackhouse also stated that the inspectors a>e required to weigh packages of fertilizers which they inspect,! especially all that have the appearance | or are suspected of weight below that! branded on the packages. Only onej such shipment so far, of 12 tons, has | been reported this season, which wfhen weighed out by the inspector was found short 2,344 pounds. Upon request the manufacturer promptly adjusted and made restitution to the buyer, as provided by law. Farmers, said Mr. S'tackhouse, may rest securely in the knowledge that the board is protecting 'them from fraud of every sort in the purchase of fertilizers. I "Wrong location.

Iiuerta at last appears ready to re| sume negotiations with John Lina, I President Wilson's personal reflresenti ative, which were broken off last August, if reports current in the cap- . ital touignt are true. Jos. Lopez Portilloy Rojas, minister of foreign affairs, has been directed to reopen the unofficial diplomatic exchanges with. Mr. Lind, aqcording to the report here, and for that purpose went to Vera Cruz today. Where he will meet Mr. Lind is not known. Every effort has -j been made to keep the meeting a secret, and should it fail to take place ' the government could repeal thf explanation already given that the minister is taking the trip to celebrate Saint's Day. President Huerta today summoned ;o tlie national palace 60 of the wealthiest Mexicans residing in the capital, and intimated tnat indirect financial support would be highly agreeable. He reminded them that u- decross is issued several months ago, calling on owners of haciendas to 'equip $nd maintain 10 men for purposes of defence, never has been complied wiili. Suo.i compliance would mean, according :o the official figures, the maintenance of about 500,000 men, as it isj esniated that there are 52,000 haciendas and smaller ranches within Federal jurisdiction.
