SWAT THE FERTILIZER FORMULA FAKER I * ' j ': I That old perennial faifer, the agent I for a "furmula that will enable any ! farmer to make at small cost a .fertij lizer better than the commercial kind." ' is again abroad in the land. In cerj fain parts of cur territory one is operating who. we are informed, is selling for $f> a "formula" that calls for the following: two tons o'. sawdust, four tons of manure, six hundred ; puunas acia pnospnate ronr nundred j pounds of "lime phosphate," and two I hundred pounds of salt. Of course this mixture has some plant .ood value, largely because of tne stable manure and the phosphorus it contains; but the sawdust and salt, for all practical purposes, may be considered worthless for fertilizer purposes. Moreover, in this mixture there is nothing, either in the materials used or in the manner of mixing, that any farmer cannot obtain without paying $5 for a fake formula.?The Progressive Farmer.

SuDprtribe to The Herald and News, TWO SCORE Hl'RT IX ORAXGEliURG FIRE I Burning of Dormitory at Stnte 'CWirod | College Intlicts Very Serious Bloiv. The State. Orangeburg, March 20.?ITwo teachers and 44 students were injured in jumping 1'rom the burning building when Badham hall, a girls' dormitory at the State Colored college, was destroyed by fire early this morning. The fire was the greatest in the history of Orangeburg. All the physicians of Orangeburg and many trained nurses hurried to the scene and the home of President Wilkinson was converted into a temporary hospital. iM'attie J. Beattifite, Charleston, a teacher, suffered injuries that resulted in both legs being broken and ribs fractured. She is probably the most most seriously injured, but her chances for recovery are good. Julia JVlae Williams was the other teacher injured. The injuries of the students consisted a. broken legs, broken arms, fractured ams and legs, broken ankles and sprained ankles, wrenched backs, cuts, bruises and broken ribs. All the injured will recover In the 'buildings were 300 girl students and several teachers. Besides as dormitory, a -portion ot this (building, being the first floor of one wing of the dormitory, was used for administration purposes. It was in these offices that the Are originated. The origin of the fire is unknown. The night watchman had passed this dormitory and registered at the clock five, minutes -before the fire wae discovered. rfom the great headway immediately gained by the fire, work of incendaries may be expected. The president states that he has fceen Unable to discover the origin of the fire. The first girl awakened saw flames eating away the door to her room. She gave the alarm. In that portion of the dormitory stairway escape wag impossible, as the first floor was a mass of flames. ?The only escape for the many girls in that section a: the building was to jump. The result was appalling. Forty-six were badly injured, 14 of -whom were seriously hurt. J The 'building destroyed, with the furnishings was worth about $40.-000, over which there was insurance amounting ti *33,000. Just as soon Bh the aL'i'i was given, all of the i door? were opeDe-d, except those in the midst of the fames. The students came out orderly and safely except in tho quarter thai Tvas cut off and i * ?.. . i - J 1L..1U jumping was resonea to. lue uuuuing was a modern brick structure, attain beat<nl throughout. The work of W. S. Wilkinson president of the J college, -was highly commendable. He has managed the institution since the fire in an admirable manner. College work will go on uninterrupted, just as soon as rearrangement can be perfected* this week. The girls of the college will be quartered in the dormitories c' CVaflin university, -which adjoins the State colored college. 'There are ample class rooms, and the dining room and kltchpn u-prp not destroved. although in J close proximity to the destroyed building-. Nearly all the students are destitute of clothes, but this necessity is being met with assistance from Orangeburg people and parents ol' the students. . CARD OF THANK'S.
