■/ ■ — > Dear Amy:- I’ve just bou^t me a new kitchen cabinet, and now it’s just fun to get a dinner ready. \ never knew what a convenience a kitchen cabinet was until I got mine. If you haven’t bought one yet; by all means, do so at once. You’ll save enough from things you would waste, in just a few months, to pay for it; and it will save you hundreds of steps every day. I Wouldn’t take anything for mine. Baby John is getting better. Always your friend, Lou. P.S. They have splendid kitchen cabinets where I bought mine. I got it from Galloway-Simpson Fur.

W\ POTASH THE E OF TROUBLE EXPERIMENTS WILL BEGIN ONCE IN INFECTED REGION gnp penanai r.nMTEMT.— AT < NORTH CAROLINA AFFECTED At Potato Conference on Long Island Trona Potaah Was Shown to Have Injuriouely Affected Potatoes. Clemson College.—Clemson College authorities have investigated the pot ash situation which has given trouble in the Pee Dee section, and have traced the matter to its source in -the use of trona potash, #hlch contains imparities injurious to crops. Other sources of American potash have given good results so far as in vestigations show. Since nearly ail the soils of the coastal plains section ash indiscriminate^ condemned along with this one source. Director Barre announces that ex periments wiH be begun at once at the Pee Dee station'to obtain all pos sible information on the effort of this material on plant growth. Further study will be made in Darlington fields to assist farmers in securing data upon which to base claims for damages. There has probably been injury to crops from this same source in other sections of the state, and if farmers think they have this trouble they should consult their county agents, all of whom have been posted about the matter. Late in June Director H. W. Barre of the South* Carolina experiment sta tion attended a potato conference on Long Island to examine tests of all sources of domestic potash. Trona potash ahowed marked injury to po tato plants, and the conference devel oped the fact that similar trouble was being experienced in North Carolina with cotton, tobacco and corn. Crops Ruined By Potaah. ' * *T found a calamitous condition In a large section of Darlington county which I visited, M said Dr. A. C. Sum mers upon hi* return from n trip of inspection which he made as state chemist at the request of Com missioner Harris. It had been report ed to the state department of agricul ture that a large number of farmers in DarTfngton county had suffered be cause of the purchase and use of the aocallad Amcriean-potash, and the-de- partment was urged by Bright Wil liamson to make some investigation. Mr. Williamson, who is a banker and plants extensively himself, .had made a preliminary investigation to see If there were any cause for so maty dif ferent Helds* of tobacco and cotton dy ing and withejring. In hia letter in forming the department Mr. William son said, “the result of the use of domestic potash on tobacco and cotton showing up now li most alarming. Dr. Summers states that Mr. Wil liamson presented the matter conser vatively. The loss In Darlington county alone will run up into the hun dreds of thousands. Other .counties In the state have not reported and they may not be affected as seriously, but in Darlington, through the activity, of J. M. Napier and Mr. Williamson, an effort has been made to locate all of the fields affected. There have of the state are in need of potash, it would he unfortunate.to have aULpot-Iheed...individual cases .reported from Received With Military Honors. Beaufort.—Governor Cooper was re ceived at the Paris Island marine training qtatlon with military honors.. General Pendleton and bis staff led the governor and his party and con- ducted them over the extensive marine reserfation. The party was enter tained by the general at luncheon af ter which the guests left for Leming- ton Hunting Club, on Hilton Head, where W. Q. Smith, state warehouse commissioner, and Col. T. W. Cantsler of the governor’s staff are the hosts to the governor, W. G. Peterkln of Fort Motte add S. M. Guess of Yemassee. This club is famous for its quail and deer hunting but at this season the ■port will be fishing and surf bath ing. T. P. A. Plans Home Building. Gaffney.—At a meeting of Post L, T. P. A., which was held in Gaffney, it was decided to build 20 dwelling houses in Gaffney in the near future. The houses are to cost not less than $2,500 each and are to be modern in every respect. Committees were ap 1 pointed to go carefully into the mat ter and to report to a meeting which will be called this week to decide upon the exact course to pursue. It these houses are built according to the plans outlined by Post L, the city other counties Dr. Summers endorses the state ment of Mr. Williamson that “the evidence of the poisonous and disas- trons results of the use of potash is positive, overwhelming and spectacu lar.” It can not be alleged that the widespread destruction of plant life Is due to too much moisture, for by a process of elimination it was shown that one part of a field whjsre the pot ash had been spread has suffered greatly while in another part where German kainit or other forms of pot ash were used the plant life was healthy and the amount of moisture over the entire community was the same. 12,000,000 Balce Needed. That It will require at least 12,000,- 000 bales of cotton to supply the de mand from August 1, 1919 to August 1, 1920 is the estimate made by the committee on supply and demand at the meeting of the directors of the American Cotton association in New Orleans. The report declares that the amount of cotton produced in America the last four years lacked S,- 000,000 bales of supplying the demand by the mills. ~ J It is declared by the committee that Europe consumed nearly 16.000.000 more bales of cotton during the last four yean than she consumed in the previous four yedVs and that Europe is today shorter of raw cotton and man ufactured goods than in the last €0 yeare. The committee' says that financial arrangements will be made that will enable Europe to purchase sufficient cotton tp supply her pressing needa. . DON’T FORGET A. B. Blakely 8 Bro’s.

It is Mill for Rock Hill. Rock Hill.—A movenient has been set on foot by C. L. Cobb, cashier of the people’s National bank, and other Interested citizens to erect a netf’’ cot ton mill In Rock Hill. Replying fo a telegram from Mr. Cobb, Alexander Long, president of the Aragon and Ar cade Cotton mills of this city, now in New York, stated that ne Is willing' to guarantee half of the . sum necessary to build another cotton mill here, pro vided the balance of the required funds can be raised. also needless for persons who are not native born citizens of this country and who will not be qble to obt^n their final citizenship certificates with in 60 days, to apply.

Nearly 10,000 ampules* of typhoid vaccine have been sent out to physi cians over the state since January 1, 1919, according to the records kept at the laboratory of the state board of health. The ampules have gone into practically every county and have done much to keep down the death rate from this disease, many cases of which have been reported. The records show that 9,493 doses of the typhoid bacteria, or vaccine as It is generally called, have been sent out. Damage to Cotton Heavy. Labor conditions in South Carolina are satisfactory at the present time, with a substantial shortage of skilled men of the mechanical trades and a ■mall' surplus of common labor and clerics, according to John Davis, of Columbia, director of the federal em ployment service in that state,who spent the night in Charlotte on hit return home from Hendersonville, where ho attended the summer cere monial last week of Oaala tempi* of the Shrine.
