I ? PHOSPHATES IX HOLLAND. > Florida Rock Has the Highest Inher- " ent Value. As the exportation of Florida phosphates exceeds $8,000,000 a year, the te x following report from Deputy Consul- h General Ernest Vollmer, of Rotter- n dam, as to the competition they meet r< with in Holland, will be of interest: D % In the Netherlands there are sev- si eral large fertilizer works, manufac- g; turing for the home market as well a: as for export, which are large users of t< phosphates. Aside from the factories p< ~1 - -3- *;^t> n nlant with an I i: ailtdUJi 111 upci a. iiuu, ?. .. -? j annual output of some 30,000 tons of d prepared fertilizers is under construe- e] tion and will be ready to contract for tl its supplies of Florida raw material ir by the end of the present year. tl Phosphates in bulk from the south- e< ern ports of the United States from an a: , important cargo into Rotterdam, and ci while large quantities of the mineral ei are reshipped up the Rhine into Ger- s< many, the Dutch factories consume w probably 60,000 to 70,000 tons per u year. All these phosphates are on the tl Dutch free list and pay no import b duty. a< While the products of Christmas a: Island, Panope, and other sources of H supply in the Pacific seldom find their n way into this market, the Florida exports nevertheless have serious com- ti f petition to meet. Large deposits are s< being worked in Tunis and Algeria, w a Dutch firm having an important a: concession there. These African phos- tl phates seldom run better than 55 to 60 per cent pure, while the best s grades from Florida will go over 75 a: per cent. Aside from the lower price tl due to lesser purity, the item of n' cheap labor at the mines and shorter ocean transportation is in favor of '* the Dutch buyer when purchasing from Africa as against Florida.

Bad" Florence Negro Charged with Fi Robbing Postoffice. Florence, July 28.?A very bold at?mpt to rob the postoffice was made ba ere this morning by a well-known to egro about town, who bears a bad gi ?putation. His name is Edward lie udley, alias Bull Dudley, and it is th :ated that he has been on the chain ha ang several times and that he has pc Iso served a term in the State peni- gr ?ntiary. His depredations in the fo ostoffice were discovered by the mitor this morning when he came tr< own to sweep out. He noticed brok- R< a glass on the floor, and upon fur- dr ler examination found that several ar tail boxes had been broken open at te: le end and otherwise badly mutilat- tr< 3. The janitor went down the street by d found Officer Koopman about the ch ity hall and told him of his discov- m; ry at the postoffice. Office Koopman in iw Dudley across on the other sidealk, and knowing his general repuition, halted him, and noticing that le negro had a bundle of betters, he egan to search him, when the negro Al cknowledged that he was the party nd surrendered without resistance. [e told the officer that he was after loney. 1 The negro got no reward for his 'ouble; the letters found on his perT> >n contained no cash. One of them A ^ as addressed to Mr. James Evans, nd the other to the Johnson-MatA j lews Company. Dudley was carried before United tates Commissioner Bacot and ex- Al mined, after which he was sent to le county jail to await trial at the ** ext session of the federal court. The Cow. ^ The dairy cow, if able to express *n 2rself in a way which the human imily would comprehend, mignt well Al ty claim to being man's best friend. W he might establish such a claim by tiling attention to the fact that from ?r product and from her carcass man Th anufactures more of the necessies of life than from any other simiT1 Lr source. She furnishes these ne?ssities to him from infancy un^il ich a time as temporal things are * * o longer associated with his exW itense, and she does it ungrudgingr and constantly. In addition to contributing 10 tan's necessity and his pleasure the In rosperity of an agricultural commuTc ity is more closely identified with ?r than with any other of the Fc amestic animals. The horse is iiite essential in tilling the soil, but _ Tl here necessity requires it the sturdy >n of the cow can take his place, as e has done in every agricultural action on earth. The horse can nly furnish labor and can only reF1 lrn a profit to his owner when conitions are right for returning satisA.I ictory grain crops. It is a wellnown fact that the dairy cow is the Ac ilvation of the farmer in times of aor crops as she is able to convert le rough crops which are never a Ai >tal failure, into dairy products hir?h alwnvs havp a cash value. ** ~ Ac In addition to this she furnishes cim milk and butter milk for the lives, pigs and poultry and ferlity for the soil, without which a ^ irm becomes less valuable each year id the whole country less prosirous. w The elimination of the dairy cow ould necessitate an almost revolu- Hi onary readjustment of man's tastes id requirements. It would mean w atold suffering and hardship. Of nirse she will not be dispensed with Ai at her value can perhaps best be appreciated by contemplating such a W iss. vy She will continue to be man's best iend as long as the human family Al cists and will keep on supplying him ith his greatest needs just as she as done through all the ages.

Rice started as her anti-noise society in Xew York city the newspapers were inclined to m smile at her, and the funny papers tl found excellent copy in her move-ig< ment. But Mrs. Rice was a persistent prisuii, auu sue puioucu uunctcocai j a*. noises with all the zeal she had for- h; merlv devoted herself to social activ- ti itv. In a short time tug-owners whose craft made the residents along n< the Hudson river miserable through- tc out the night by the unnecessary use of shrill whistles found to their p] amazement that Mrs. Rice was not d< only in earnest, but that she had the law behind her. A few fines on the engineers in charge of switch engines plying along th tracks below Riverside drive also sp brought the railway officials to a rude ar awakening. The crusade against noises which could be avoided became ca fr popular in a short time, and Mrs. Rice has established a movement which bids fair to spread all over the aI world. se Paris is now undergoing a reform sa which resembles Mrs. Rice's pet hobby somewhat. It is the movement ^ oh against bad odors, in which the Viscount Robert de Montesqiou-Fezensac ia q mnvincr cnirit Foul smelling railway cars, streets m which reek with rile odors under the ex summer sun, and motor cars which P! leave a trail of gasoline fumes are the chief nuisances against which the society is moving. As yet the effort m is in its infancy, and much fun is being poked at it. But experts on san- 01 itation are assisting the crusade, and, = like Mrs. Rice's reform, it is based on the public welfare, and will doubtless be taken up in time by many civic organizations which devote their efforts pj to the protection of public health and comfort.?Nashville Tennessean. ? Faces "Wife With Serious Charge. ? ] Cincinnati, Ohio, July 28.?Percy . Proctor, member of a wealthy Cincinnati firm, appeared suddenly in court here to-day and faced his wife, ^ formerly the Baroness Xadine von Klifuss, for the first time in many ^ months. Upon his failure to recognize her his wife promptly swooned. Proctor instituted the case in which he testified to-day to stop the transfer of $40,000 worth of stocks which his wife claims was given her in J furtherance of a marriage contract ^ made in Berlin before the American c consul. By this agreement, which Proctor acknowledged, he was to settle upon her 200,000 francs, the marriage to S take place when she had succeeded in c divorcing the Baron von Klifuss. Shortly thereafter, however, the C baron died. Proctor, on taking the stand in his own behalf, acknowledged the genuineness of the contract and said that he gave a note for $40,000 in fulfillment. Her family asked for "something tangible," he said, so he put up the stock "as collateral" and the marriage took place in London, October 14, 1909. Proctor, under oath, then charged c the former baroness and Joseph de I Wickoff, a solicitor of London, with { being parties to a conspiracy to ob- c tain not only the stock in question, but also all the money possible to be obtained from him. Court adjourned with Proctor still on the stand. Lineman Falls to Death Charleston, July 28.?W. J. Reiley, a lineman in the employ of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, was killed yesterday afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock, by falling from a pole on the corner of Washington and Laurens streets. He fell a distance of 40 feet, striking on his head, resulting in a fracture of the skull, with death ensuing almost instantly. The theory is advanced that the crossing of a live wire sent a current through a telephone wire which, in this section of the city, are not in cables or under ground, and the shock caused him to I fall to the stone pavement below. I Reiley came here from North Caro- I lina several weeks ago, with a work- I ing force of the telephone company, g He was a young man of good habits c and steady employment. The body will be held for transportation to his ] relatives. e Plan New War on Wliiskey.
