WOULD REPEAL
WAR LEGISLATION
HOUSE ADOPTS RESOLUTION BY
DECIDED VOTE.
THREE IX OPPOSITION.
Lever Food Control Act and Trading
With Enemy Law
Retained.
Washington, June 3.?All war
laws, except the Lever food control
act, and the trading with the enemy
act, would be repealed by a resolution
adopted today by the house, 323
to 3. The only negative votes were
cast by Representatives Garrett and
Sims of Tennessee and weuing or
Utah, all Democrats.
Approximately 60 laws, most of
them conferring broad discretionary
authority on the president, as long
as the technical state of war continues,
would be removed from the statute
books by the resolution.
With the house action, the repeal
resolution was sent to the senate,
where action on it is expected before i
the adjournment of congress Saturday.
House Democrats predicted that
President Wilson would approve the
measure, Representative Connally of
Texas asserting that the president
was the first to suggest the nullification
of the war acts. The Texas
member added that the Democrats 1
were only to override the veto if necessary.
. 1
The retention of the Lever act was 1
explained by Representative Walsh,
Republican, in charge of the repeal
act, as necessary to give the govern- 1
ment an effective law for curbing
profiteering in necessities, including
food and fuel. He added that the
trading with the enemy act should be
continued to regulate trade with Germany.
!
Representative Igoe, "Democrat, .
Missouri, however, questioned the .
' Republican decisions to continue the 1
Lever act, asserting that "certain interests"
desired to keep the law in ,
<
effect because it had proved "effective
anti-strike legislation." He vainly ^
sought to have the act included among ,
those repealed, but was defeated .
through parliamentary tactics.
The senate judiciary committee to- ,
night took up consideration of the j
repeal resolution, but adjourned until ^
tomorrow without final action being ^
taken. Several members of the committee^t
the meeting tonight, it was (
understood, were inclined to oppose ^
such legislation at this time, but Sen- j
ator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, who (
recently introduced two similar meas- ,
ures in the senate with Senators .
Brandegee and Sterling, Republicans, .
were said to have indicated their ap- ,
proval of the resolution. <
< ?<
Representatives Flood, Connally ,
and Gard, all Democrats, complained *
of the limited scope of the repeal and ]
asserted that the first move toward (
the repeal was made by the Demo- t
cfrats. ' t
Population Drift Toward the Cities, i
i
1 i
"Where are all the people coming i
from?" is a question frequently heard
in our cities. Almost every town in t
the country, from the largest to the
smallest, is experiencing an acute
shortage of houses. In places where
three or four years ago a large percentage
of the houses were vacant, a
place to live can now hardly be had
for love or money. Preliminary census
figures are showing heavy gains
in poulation for many of our cities
during the past ten years. Figures
" for the rural districts have not yet
' been given out, but we would not be
surprised to see decreases in many
farming sections.
These facts to us indicate one thing
in particular, and that is that the
farming business must be made more
attractive if people are to remain on
the farms and production maintained
or increased. The farmer goes
to town mainly because wages in
town are better than he can make
farm ig, and so long as this is true
we may expect the drift from country
to city to continue, with decreased
farm production following in consequence.
Prices of farm products are high,
of course, when compared with pre
war prices; out wnen compared witn i
other commodity prices they are cot s
high. Railing at the farmer as a 1
profiteer will get the city customer j
nowhere. In fact, any effort that (
unduly lowers the prices farmers re- s
ceive for their products is bound in i
the end to putprices higher than ever; ?
because if the business of farming is s
made unprofitable enough farmers (
will quit it to so reduce production (
that the demand will automatically ?
force prices up. i
The country and the world need 1
more food and clothing, but to get \
them a fair price to the farmer?a 1
price that will insure him a wage in i
line with what urban workers re- t
ceive?will be necessary.?Progres- i

TRAGEDY NEAR EASTOVER.
Negro Man and Woman Killed Friday
Afternoon.
Eastover, June 5.?Sallie Nixon,
negress, and a negro named Morris,
were killed about three miles from
Eastover this afternoon. Sam Nixon,
husband of Sallie Nixon, is in the
Richland county jail, Columbia,
where he is held for the crime. The
double tragedy occurred between 2
o'clock and 3 o'clock this afternoon,
with no eye-witnesses. Some people
working in a nearby field reached the
scene, it is said, a few minutes after
the trouble. Nixon came to Easover
and gave himself up to the authori-;
nes.
Morris was shot and the Nixon woman
was hit with some heavy instrument.
Coroner Scott, of Richland county,
will come to Eastover tomorrow
morning and an inquest will be held, j

A Second Application of Fertilizer.
All fertilizer manufacturers and
dealers report that the movement of
fertilizers and fertilizer materials is
several weeks behind the usual schedule.
Not only have strikes and other
causes delayed the getting of raw
materials by manufacturers and mixers,
but the railroads have not moved
shipments with the necessary promptness
and rapidity. The factories are
three to five weeks behind with their
orders, due to car shortage.
Moreover, there are strong indications
that there is a greater desire on
the part of the farmers to use fertilizers
this year than ever before. In
fact, it is estimated that some of the
southeastern states that have used
large quantities of fertilizers in the
past, will use 20 to 25 per cent, more
this year than usual if they can get
them. 1
The supplies of materials carrying
all the plant foods, nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium, are more or
less short of the demand. Cotlon?eed
meal, tankage and like materials
which have in the past been largely
used to supply nitrogen are such
valuable feeding stuffs that their
prices have become almost prohibitive
of their use as fertilizers. Sulphate
of ammonia, a by-product of
coke ovens, is less abundant because j
Df coal strikes and lack of transportation.
Nitrate of soda has not been;
Drought from South America in sufficient
quantities because of a lack of j
shipping facilities. The supplies of
icid phosphate have been lessened
ilso by strikes, lack of transportation
md inability to procure other necessary
materials for its manufacture.
\nd potash has neither been produced
in this country nor brought from j
Prance and Germany in sufficient:
luantities to meet demands, in short
he demand is greater than usual,
he supplies available being less than
he demands and the railroads have
- - A - 1- 1 - i. - X 1
ioi oeen aoie 10 move me prouuetsj
-apidly enough to meet the requirenents
of the trade.
The results are that many believe
hat it will not be possible for the
armers of the south to obtain their
'ertilizers in time to put out the full
imounts which they want to use at
he time of or before planting the
;rops.
As evidence accumulates, it tends
;o show that the best time to apply
'ertilizers is at the time of or before
ilanting the crops. That is, when all
hings are considered it is doubtful
f a given amount of fertilizer applied
o a crop should be divided into two
>r more applications. But it is also
iretty well established or generally
jelieved that, say, 500 pounds of a
jiven fertilizer per acre will give a
ittle larger yield if two applications
ire made than if it is all put out at
>ne time. But if there is an increase
n the yield from two applications
his increase is probably not generilly
large enough to pay for making
wo applications or to pay for the
expense of making the extra applica;ion.
But if the farmer finds it impossible
to get all the fertilizers he
hinks he oueht to use. in time to
)ut it out at planting time, he should
lot fail to put out the balance as a
second application. If he is right in
relieving, for instance, that he should
ipply 500 pounds of a certain grade
)f fertilizer per acre and can only
?et enough by planting time to make
m application of 300 pounds per
icre, there is no good reason why he
should not make a second application
>f 200 pounds during the early part
if the growing season or during May
md June. In fact, unless he is misaken
in his belief that it will pay
lim to use 500 pounds of fertilizer
ler acre, threre is every reason why
le should make a second application,
n case he cannot get sufficient ferilizer
to make the full application
ntended at planting time.?Progressive

SPEND ENORMOUS AMOUNT.
Overman Shows That Party Now in I
Has Exceeded Previous Confess.
Washington, June 4.?Senator
Overman, Democrat, North Carolina,
precipitated a political discussion in ^
the senate today when he presented
statistics to support a charge that
the Republicans had appropriated j
in ordinary supply bills more than
twice the amount expended by the i
Democratic congress of 1916. Sena- e
tor Smoot promptly defended the 1
charges, asserting that the war was (
responsible for much of the increase. ^
Senator Overman said 13 supply ^
bills passed in 1916 totaled $978,- ^
000,000, as against $2,198,000,000 c
appropriated by the present con- j
gress. He insisted that he had not c
included war items in his summary. 1
Senator Thomas, Colorado, stopped
the debate when he remarked that *
"the record of each party op the subject
of economy is a record of
shame."
