Prof. D. N. Barrow, director of the
department of agriculture at Clemson
College made a speech before th* Rich*

day last. *
He spoke on fertilisers, explaining
that he was making a systematic cam
paign of the State, advocating a re
duction In the use of fertilisers by the
fartuera. basing hla argntuent not upon
a reduction In the cotton crop thereby,
hut upon economic grounds. He de
clared that the greatest benefit derived
bv the farmer from the fertilizer* he
used was not the direct result of the
addition of th* fertilizing amts con
tained therein, bat due indirectly lo Its
action in making available latent t*r-
ri itv already In the aofl. He ridiculed

Influx of immigrants Into the state,
is the conclusion of C. V. Collins,
superintendent of state prisons, who,
In his annual report to the legisla
ture, suggests that the federal gov
ernment, which permits these alien
criminals to land on Its shores,
should assume the burden of main
talning them till they have served
their sentence when they should be
deported and never allowed to re
turn,. A census of 4,320 prisoners
in Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton
prisons, showed that 1,091 or 25

one of his cousin’s children at the
time Mr. Tillman came In In a rage.
In an affidavit submitted to the
court Monday Mrs. Tillman says that
one occasion she was forced by her
husband’s drunken (Tebauehes and
cruel treatment to separate from
him. but ”Aot until deponent’s hus
band under the Influence of exces
sive drink made a most outrageous,
false and degrading attack upon de
ponent’s character, that deponent, so
outraged and insulted flew through
the night time with her two infant
children from deponent’s home at
Edgewood’ to her sister’s home In
Edgefield for protection, where she
remained for several months.”
It would seem from the number
and character of the affidavits read

the new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one of the Islands near
Charleston. 8. C. It has long been
known that lime la an essential food
for plants of all kind* and that they
cannot live when it has been exhaust

known that old worn-out lands are
extremely .deficient in lime, and that
sour, badly-drained lands have their
lime Is a for mthat la not usable by
growing crops.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 124, U. 8
Dept. of Agriculture, says: “ "All
the applications of lime Increased the
yields '* • The best yields wer#
obtained with the lime In the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oys
ter shells standing first • • Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertilizer
alone.”
This new fertilizer which presents
lime in Its most usable form la made
by a new process of burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash. The result Is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consum
er only $7.00 per tqn. It reclaim*
worn-out lands In a marvelous man
ner If applied broadcast two month*
ahead of ammonlated goods. It’*
sweetening effects on sour lands is
almost magical. Charleston freight
rates apply on this new fertilizer.
