World Film corporation will shortly present Robert Warwick in a Capellani production called "The Flash of an Emerald." Robert Warwick plays a character which is officially de~ ~ : V. ,1 ? ? r, <??.rwni-i 1 Tiiltll r,i " nrtiVITl sciiucu as a. ouviui < u * u * v., i'* K . ? o on his friends and diverting suspicion by his "gentlemanly graciousness." At the end of the play when Lucien "Waldeck (that's tne gentlemanly villain's name) is revealed as their thief of ihe enormously valuable emerald, he commits suicide. Mr. Warwick, when spoken to on the subjlet, frankly said that he welcomed the opportunity of making a thorough exposition of the versatility of his art. As Rabat in "(The Face of the iMoonlight" he played a crooked person to the satisfaction of his crit"cs; but the part was neutralized by that of Victor, in the same film; and Victor was one of those goody goody T\Qt?cr?nc. -ivlnVh WnrlH Film lias COn demned Warwick to play so often, and so successfully. Seriously, Mr. Warwick is a ?very versatile artist; and as Lucius 'Waldeck in "The F'ash of an Emerald"' he I will have every opportunity of demonstrating the fact. This photo-play will be shown at the opera house Tuesday, January IS. Fertilizer For 191(5. At a meeting of the Farmers' union of Newberry county at the court house Saturday, January 8, the following subjects were discussed: "What Shall We Use as a Substitute frvr (commercial) Potash?" The subject was very ably handled i by Mr. J. L. Keitt, pointing out the various sources of potash. The following sources were stressed. 1. Wood ashes contain a large per cent of potash and farmers should save and distribute them where most needed. 2. Make and save all the stable manure possible. This is very important, and every farmer should ry to make double the usual quantity this year. A small amount in the drill under cotton will help to unlock the potash, in the soil and render it available for the plan and will give most beneficial results. 3. Turn under all the litter you can. If your soil has been depleted of vegetble matter it will materially help your crop to rake up half rotten leaves and straw and put it on land before ; ..-it planting, eiiiiex" iu uiui ui uiwuta^i.. The next subject. "Uppn What Lands Can We Profitably Use Ground Phosphate Rock?" was discussed by Dr. W. C. Brown and others. After thorough discussion and looking up results of different experiment stations and from the experiences of those who had used "floats," it was decided that, for immediate results, giound phosphate rock will not pay. Ol very [>oor soil, deficient in humus, it wih not pay at all. On fresh j land or land well filled with humus I you can expect reasonable results th$! firs.* vpar but the? srround nhosD'hate, rock should be applied as early as possible. NO DRY BATTERIES. They AI! Contain Moisture or They Would Be Useless. So called dry batteries are in common use for small electric call bell systems j aud private telephone lines and were j used extensively for ignition on earlier makes of automobiles. Applying the word "dry" to the battery is mislead.- j ing. for there is no such thing as a j "dry" battery. There never was, nor j will there ever be. If it were dry no current would I generate, as it requires moisture to pro- I r-hf?Tnir-n-f?lp<*tnp nr-tivitv when ! the circuit is completed from the plus j to the minus elements. The so called dry battery is really an i "inclosed wet battery," which retains j its moisture to its limit of life, wheth-1 | er in service or uot. The limit of life depends on the stored capacity, how frequently the circuit is applied to it, evaporation due to age and deterioration of the conducting elements. The battery consists of a zinc cylinder case containing a carbon in the j center, the intervening space tilled in with a paste compound of one part zinc oxide, one part sal ammoniac, three parts plaster of paris and two parts water. The quantities are great er as the capacity of the battery is increased. As soon as a circuit is completed a chemical combination is started, and the current flows from the internal part of the zinc to the carbon, then out from the carbon to the appliance and returns to the zinc. The external: terminals' of the l attery are the reverse of the internal. When the battery i*; exhausted it can be recharged by sending current into j it from a close circuit battery, such as j a nitric or sulphuric acid cell. Pour-, ing water through a small hole at tue top of the battery is au aid to the return of its life, but neither this nor the former will restore the battery to j its original efficiency. ?
