Coluukbiu. July <1. "I found a ?*<>?
lamitou* coudiviou iu a large action
of Darllugton county which 1 visited*"
Bud I>r, A. O. "Summer* Saturday up**14
h?i* return from u trlv? of inspection
which he made as State chemist at
the request of Oonuxiissioner Ilarria !?
had be on reported to the State depart
ment of agriculture that a large num
ber of fanners in Darlington count*
had suffered because of the purchase and
use of the ftocall^ American potash, and
the department was urged by Bright Wil
liamson to make *4ome investigation
Mr, Williamson, who is a banker aud
plants extensively himself, had inann k
pvellmluarv investigation to 8<?e if thero
was auy cau*ic for so many different
fields of tobacco aud cotton dying and
withering. In his lettur informing the
department Mr. Williams said ' the re
sult of the use of domestic .potash on
tobacco aud cotton showing up now
most alanniiiK. Where 7T? pound's p'*i'
acre of K20 was used on tobacco t >*??????
is practically nono, aud the effect. \s se
rious on cotton. Where 40 to SO pounds
of K20 was used there is generally
about one-half Stand of tobacco. Whore
smaller quantities of K-0 wore esed.
?thc effect is not noticeable."
Dr. Summers states that Mr. William
son presented the 'matter conservatively.
The loss in Darlington county alone
will run up into the hundreds of thou
sands. Other counties in the State have
not reported and they may not be af
fected as seriously, but in Darlington
through the activity of .1. M. Napier and
Mr. Williamson, an effort has been made
to locate all of the fields affected. 'I'here
have been individual cawes reported from
other counties. ?
Dr. ..Summer# endorses the statement
>f Mr. WilliiimsJon that "the evideuce of
the poisonous and disastrous results of
the use of potash is positive, overwhelm
ing and .spectacular." It can not be
allege^ that the widespread destruction
?of plirtit life is due to too much mois
ture, ior by a process of elimination it
was shown that one part of a field where
the potash" had been spread has suffer
ed 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.
"I never witnessed such ruin iu the
fields frt>m causes other than the most
destructive' hail storms." said Dr Sum- ,
mem "One farmer had lost all of his
tobacco planting on one piece of laud
and he then plowed it and planted cot
tou. The cotton gcrmiaiated and grew
very ,weil until the roots camo In con
tact with the potash in the soil and
then plaut^filJd This farmer is try
ing cowpeas to see if that crou will
produce. . \ r % :
~*'I think that the poison will bC
eradicated from the soil in the course
of a year. I observed that where there
had been heavy rains since the putting
down of tftie potash that the poison
seemed to have leeched out co some ei- j
tent. We are making experiments in
our laboratories and will know by Mon
day more of t^e chemical nature of
^this American potash.
"At a meeting of the cotton farmers
iu New Ori earns at>out two months ago
an effort was made to get the govern
ment not to put a heavy tariff upon
German potash. This effort was killed
by the agency of the men interested
in American potash. A meeting of
Southern commissioners of agriculture
will be held in Washington at an early j
date to protest against a heavy duty
upon German potash. Our farmers must
have potash, and if the domestic brand
is poison to the soil we must fiud a
corrective or be permitted to buy the
German potash .(which we can not do
at the prohibitive prices proposed.")
Dr. Summers declared that the ap
pearance of some of the fields in Dar
lington county was really painful, for
it is ^ known that Darlington has
'nome^Fthe finest farnn lands In the
Sta^fnd they have been brought up
U, J^igh state of pgfl^uctivit*.
Prosecutors Dropped (*9ke.
?The ease against J. I). Bennett, the
Jbhite electrician, charged with complic
ity in the robbery of the Men's Shop,
some mbnths ago when several hundred,
dollars worth of good* were stolen has
been dropped by the prosecutors. The
negro who was captured at the time
plead guilty to the charge at court this
wedt and received a seirte-ncfT of two
years. The negro stated at the time
of his arrest that a white man helped
him in the Job. Bennett was found
appareutfy asleep in the same building
t>e night of the burglary and he was
