There ' is no provision for such a thing made by any of the authorities as yet, and it wttrbff necessary to get some live town to take hold of the" matter.

That President Taft will spend three hours or more in Anderson cn March 10 is almost an assured fact.

C.# JaiL-?The cotton growing atataa ara particularly to tar geted In tbe potash oontrorersy bo Iwooo tbe UUto Department and Bar* ltn, alnca tha futura price of fartlUaer U dlrectl y affacted by tbe outcome. German Interests bava Jutt made rep raaontatlon to Secretary Knox similar In effect to tboaa assertions made by circular letter to the miners through out the South claiming that tha Ger man rotasb law, which places a pen ally ou mine* selling heavily to Amer Jlcans at u lower prlca than liae for merly ruled, la merely a part of the general conservation policy of Ger* many. According to Ochslmuv? a leading German geologist, there are about 39,000 square mllea of potaah In one section of Germany, each of theae containing aomo 00,000,000 toua of pure rota ah. Thla aame authority 1 ?' ?' ??? the n?>n?\?l output frq/n these mines Is about 600,000 toua each. ui:u i-u i.gurea that If the annual out put should Jump to 6,000,000 tons an nually, It would atill requlro 021,600 years to exhaust the supply. Another of Germany's assertions Is that the law docs not discriminate ugalnat Americans. The brief of the | American potash buyers committee ! submitted to congress points out that, I under the law,as recently passed by ? Germany, the mines of the potash | trust In that country were allowed a | proportion of output pufllclent to sup- j ply tho world, while the Independent i mines that had made contracts to sup- j ply the United States at a rcduced j price were limited to one-fourth of j their actual sales already made to us. j In addition a penalty of $22 per ton ; was imposed for overproduction, 'l'hus tho penalty falls exclusively upon , ?"hftipmeBlB W tniB country and ludH rectly upon tho consumer. An effort Is apparently being mado 1 to create the impression that this con- j troversy Is really a contest between j tho policy of tho German government j and an American trust. The fact Is that there Is no such completo and powerful trust In tho United States as this German potash syndicate. This syndicate actually monopolizes the entire potash supply of tho world, save for tho two mines that broke away from the trust and sold to Amer ican buyers. In this country there are about TO different fertilizer manu facturers using potash, and of these about 75 per cent are Independent of any trust affiliation. Another claim made by tho German committee at tho Whlto House was to tho effect that the American buyers knew that a law would bd passed pro viding for government taxes- and pen alties to be assessed, and that they mado these contracts with this knowl edgqsln mind.
