Night.
Cher**, Feb. 14.?Quiet old Cheraw
had u little excitement early this
mornng About 8 o'clock three
Strang. )ouiig white men, in a Ford
coup* with an appetite for money,
broke fito three filling stations but
found -hort rations.
At Clyde Burnetts "Motor Inn,"
Second arid Church street*, they
tried the front door and failed. Then
they broke a glass in the rear door
and turned the key. Here they got
thirty.three dollars, 4 tire, a handful
of cigars and gasoline.
At Mrs. McLaurin's station, on the
opposite corner, they opened the
door with a jack handle, but got only
about eighteen cents and a flash
light.
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

WELCOME* INVESTIGATION
Fertilizer Company Sakl To Hare
Loat Heavily in Tkla State.
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.
Mndbergh says about them in writng
to Fourth Corps Area Headquart rs:
"The Citizens' Military Training
amps present an excellent opportunity
to young men for physical improvement
and training in team work, I
self-discipline and the principles of
itizenship at Government expense.
These camps are doing much to pronote
right living and clear thinking."
These camps are to be conducted
igain this summer over the?whole
if the Umted States, from June 17th
o July 16th. Enrollments began on
February 1st.
