ROBERT WARWICK I\ NEW ROLE
Tires of Eternal Heroics, Plays a Gentlemanly
Villain.
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,

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. ? New York I
