Will Sue or NJ'otsjsh Damage. information has been received at the department of agriculture in Columbia .that farmers of several sections of the state are preparing to bring damage *nits against the distributors of Trona potash, because of tin* damage to crops from tin- use of thi' American-made product. The loss, from the use of Trona potash in some sections of the state will reach far into the thousands. Dr. Summers, of the department of agri culture. inade an investigation and took a scries of photographs iu DaHington county, ami the conclusion reachcd was that the loss from potash in that county alone would reach hundreds of thou sands of dollars. Iu many parts of the "date the crops- have been seriously in jured by the use of the potash. Trona potash is mined- in California. 1 1 is handled by a New York concern. The suits will probably be tiled against the local fertiliser and potash dealers. Tragedy at Hartsville. 1 In rtsviilo, Aug, HO. ?
