There are a great many people
who labor under the delusion
that what was once known as
the "drop letter" can be mailed
with a one-cent stamp. That is
a mistake. Every sealed letter,

a written letter whether sealec
or unsealed. These rules applv
as much to letters addressed tc
people in our own town as tc
people in San Francisco.

Rock Hill Officer Kills Man.
Henry Putnam, a young white
man who formerly lived in one
of the mill villages in Fort Mill,
was shot and instantly killed by
Police Officer J. A. Eubanks, of
Rock Hill, early Sunday morning.
The killing occurred on the
railroad near the Victoria cotton
mill nf which Putnam was an
' employe. The first news of the
tragedy was brought to Fort Mill
by the crew of freight train
No. 74, about 6 o'clock Sunday
morning.
According to report, Putnam
had started along the railroad to
the station up-town to board a
train for Chester. He rode
several yards on a freight train
going in the direction of the
1 depot and jumped off. He was
arrested by Officer Eubanks for
violation of a city ordinance and
the two started along the tracks
toward the guard house. They
I had gone only a short-distance
when Putnam refused to go
further and the shooting folj
lowed. At the inquest Sunday
; afternoon several witnesses were ,
i examined, but the defendant did
j not take the stand. There were
no eye witnesses to the tragedy,
j One of the crew of the freight
train on which Putnam had ridden
a short distance stated that
he had asked Eubanks why he
: shot Putnam and that Eubanks
i replied that he did not know
what else to do. It is stated
I that a plea of self defense will be
: entered by the defendant, claiming
that Putnam made a motion
as if to pull a revolver from his I
hip pocket.
Eubanks was taken to York
jail to await trial, but it is understood
that steps will be taken at

Putnam, the dead man, was 23
years old.
Friday's Rain Did Much Damage.
The rain of last Friday morning
was one of the heaviest that
has visited this section in a long
while and in many places the
land was very badly washed.
The precipitation was over three
inches in this place and people in
other parts of the township believe
this record was equalled if
not exceeded in several localities.
The ground was badly washed,
more than was the case during
the last big rain, by reason of
the fact that the ground was
newly plowed. In many fields
terraces an d ditches were newly
I made, but the heavy rainfall
coming within the course of a
few hours caused a flood that the
i banks could not hold and consequently
the water rushed across
! newly plowed fields like small
, rivers, badly disturbing the
recently planted crops.
A number of farmers along
J various creeks lost a great deal
I of hav by reason of the sudden
and high rise of the streams.
State Campaign Now On.
The eounty-to-county campaign
in South Carolina opened Tuesday
at ten o'clock in Sumter, and until
August 22d, a week before the
Democratic primary, the candidates
for State offices and for
] national congress will be on the
road making friends among the
voters of the State.
The campaign is expected to
bring forth interest in politics
and some warm fights are expected.
Especially will the race
for governorship be interesting
and for this office there are four
candidates, Governor Cole L.
Blease, former Chief Justice Ira
B. Jones. John T. Duncan and
' T. S. Connor. The first two will
be the only ones to make a showing.
i There will be twenty odd
candidates in the running for the
various offices and the eyes of
the State will follow them in
their tours.

FERTILIZER FROM AIR.
Charlotte Evening Chronicle.
In a 24-hour test conducted
under the eye of expert chemists
and electricians, free nitrogen
has been taken from the atmosphere,
wrested by science from
its hitherto uninvaded stronghold,
and will be made to serve
the most practical service in the
enriching of the earth so that
crops may better grow and flourish
and in replacing a product
before brought from far-away
Chili.
The success of the severe test
completed in the plant on the
Catawba river at sunset yesterday
evening marked the beginning
of a new era in the South,
an era in which the highest grade
,,m -1 _ l
fertilizers will ne compounded
not with imported products from
a distant country, but from the
abundance of the atmosphere
where the nitrogen has existed
for ages, a valuable element that
could not be separated from the
oxygen with which it is mingled,
although it is in the air that is
breathed and constitutes the
bulk of the entire atmosphere.
The wresting of this valuable
product from its place in nature,
has been effected by means of
the high voltage electric current,
a method which in late years has
already worked many wonders
in the world of chemistry.
The Southern Electro-Chemical
Company of New York, organized
some time ago to test the process
of Dr. Albert Pauling of Germany,
who had previously tested
the process in his own country,
working in concert with representatives
of the Southern Power
Company, secured a site and
made the necessary arrangements
for beginning work on a
4.000 horse-power plant near the
Great Falls development of the
Southern Power Company.
This plant is now practically
completed and recently it was
determined to make a 24-hour
test of the plant and ascertain if
the process would work satisfactorily,
and if the various apparatus
and processes were
properly provided and adjusted.
The result of the tests made
throughout yesterday were all
that had been dreamed of.
The product showed up almost
perfect and everything that had
been claimed for it and from the
limestone and the atmosphere,
brought together the full process,
the final product come forth,
nitric acid and then nitrate of
lime.
While the experiment was in
progress trained men, chemist
and electricians, watched every
step in the process, and every
part of the outfit of the new
plant, and valuable notes were
secured indicating where improvements
or changes might be
made to advantage. But the
chief thing was the success of
the process itself.
The nitric acid and the nitrate
of lime emerging from the chain
of tanks, retorts and chemical
reactions, proved clearly and conclusively
that the process was a
great success. It was a momentous
time in the history of the
South for it is believed that the
process will enable the owners to
supply, the necessary ingredients
for commercial fertilizers that
will place right at the doors of
the farmers the product which
they require if they are to have
good crops, green fields and
flourishing grain and cotton. The
necessity of paying the freight
of several thousand miles to
Chili to secure nitrates will soon
become unnecessary.
The work which the electrochemicol
company has achieved,
it is hoped, will result in a revolution
in the fertilizing of the
soil in the Southern States.
