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

from his district, and representing his
county in the State senate up until the
time of his appointment as superiiiten-!

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. Eleanora

physician in charge of the

cock. Four applications for admis- j

were received.
" 'I have secured the old H. P. Clark
place, at 2315 Taylor s:reet,' said Dr.
Babcock yesterday, 'in Waverley, and,
with Dr. Saunders, will open the Waverley
sanitarium for nervous and mild
mental 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. Three or four generations i
I
of scvaDuers. if you will no.ice. Some i

"Back in Ireland I would wager a j
bet :hat Joe's ancestors were some;

celebrations."

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

this may be used at Spartanburg if
necessary. 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. Johnson, of the 4th district, in his
explanation or tne peuagra. si'.uauou |

Hoard of Control Applying Kigorous
Tests For Inferior Materials.
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

field at the S. C. experiment station
here gave satisfactory results. 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.

Mr. Lind, aqcording to the report here,
and for that purpose went to Vera

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

President Huerta today summoned

Mexicans residing in the capital,
and intimated tnat indirect financial
support would be highly agreeable.
He reminded them that u- decross is
