At Ingram & Wannamaker's station, on the Square, they forced the door with a tire tool. Here the safe hud been left open, but it hell nothing but books. Policeman Sims, who had been watching a Chevrolet for thirty minutes, came upon them here. Two of them were in the Ford,' with the motor running. The third man came up and when Sims looked around to see what this man was doing, they stepped on the gus and all got away. Sims shot twice, and a cry was heard, but it is not known whether one was hjt. The gang was working north. They had been in Camden at .12 o'clock lust njght and here at 3. At M orven, N.

Washington, Feb. 10.?An offer to cooperate wholeheartedly in making the investigation of fertilizer prices in South Carolina, recently requested by the General Assembly, was rq&de to Attorney General John M. Daniel in a letter from Charles J. Brand, Washington, 1>. C., upon behalf of the National Fertilizer association, of which he is executive secretary. Brand pointed out that last year the fertilizer companies operating in South Carolina lost around $2,500,000 in furnishing fertilizer to the farmers, and that throughout the country the industry lost $22,000,000. During the past seven years the total loases of the industry, Brand stated, amounted to $225,000,000. "We believe that when the true situation is brought out in the investigation," Brand declared, "the Attorney General, the General Assembly and the public will understand that the industry is rendering a great wealth-producing service to South Carolina and to the Nation, and at a very reasonable price. "For this reason, and despite the fact that we regard the resolution simply as political sniping to bag campaign thunder, the industry welcomes the investigation, and through its national association will assist as much as possible in ascertaining the facts of the situation." Brand stated that the extremely low price of cotton in 1920 so cirppled the farmer's buying power that in the spring of 11)27 demand for fertilizer was at a low ebb, resulting in 19 per cent less fertilizer being sold in the South. This, he explained, forced the companies to cut their prices until farmers got theif fertilizer last year at prices averaging $3 a ton less than the actual cost of production and distribution. This was the disastrous result, Brand wrote, of the cotton farmer receiving 1 only 8 to 12 cents for his 1926 crop. ; The bulk of the 1927 crop, however, 1 brought the farmer 18 to 21 cents and consequently he is in a much better financial position. 1 "This year, the fertilizer companies, acting legally and with proper ! selfinterest, are endeavoring to get < their cost of production plus a reasonable profit and no industry can continue to function for the best interest of its customers unless it ob- i tains a fair profit. Executives of I fertilizer companies would be delighted if they could make a profit of 6 per cent on their investment." Brand quoted figures from the 1 Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics , which show that the price of ferti- < lizer is relatively much lower than the price of cotton. He stated thai at present prices a bale of cotton will buy a fifth more X-3-3, the analysis most extensively used on cotton, thar. it would back in pre-war days. "The present prices of leading analyses of mixed fertilizers are less < than 12 per cent above the 1913 level," he explained, "but the price ,?f cotton and cottonseed combined is "> '! per cent higher than in 1913. The price of non-agricultural commodiies averages over 50 per cent higher j ?nd products of the farm 37 per ent higher than pre-war. Thus the figures of the U. S. Department of Agriculture prove the relative cheaple-s of fertilizers." Lindbergh Endorses C. \l. T. Camps. Many prominent men over the ength breadth' of our' land have praised the Civilian Military Trainng Camps and advised all young men o attend them. This is what Colonel Charles A.
