'? ?* a/ Results of Fertilizer Experiments New Publication Gives Information 01 Fertilizer Tests on Typical Piedmont Soils. Clemson College, August 4.?Tha phosphoric acid is the chief limiting fuctor in cotton yields, that nitrogei is the second limiting factor, that pot ash and lime are of doubtful or n< value, and that it is difficult to main lam coiwn yieias Dy ine use ot com mercial fertiliser alone on typica Piedmont soils are shown in Experi ment Station Bulletin 211, "Fertilize Experiments with Cotton at Clemsoi College," which has just been jssue< by the Experiment Station and i available to all citizens of the stab who ask for it. The bulletin contains detailed dis cussion of the experiments showinj the history of the experiments, whic! were begun in 1906 on typical Pied mont soils classified by the Bureau o Soils as Cecil Sandy Loam.

Th conclusions of^ the experiments ar summed up in the following para graphs. Conclusions. 1. Applications of fertilizer carry ing large amounts of ammonia o phosphoiic acid have a residual effec which lasts for several years. 2. Phosphoric acid is the first limit ing factor on this particular soil an< gives a larger increase in crop yioli than un> otlu r one cleme.it alone. 3. Nitrogen is the second limitini factor and gives material increase ii yield of cotton. 4. Potash gave a small increase ii yield on some plots but is of doubtfu value, when all plots are considered. 5. Lime gave a slight reduction ii yield when used with acid alone and i slight increase when used with a com plete fertilizer. It does not seem tha it would pay to use lime on this soi f<?r the production of cotton alone. 6.

Charleston1 s Museum and who bring friends to the}11 Museum to see the skeleton of Mrs; 1 Lavania Fisher, the <?nly woman to) 1 have been hanged in South Carolina. 0 and whose skeleton was exhibited at the Museum some time ago and Was v removed because it was out of order, the Museum has decided again to in- I1 stall the skeleton and it is now being S put in order. It is expected that there will be wide interest in the fact that n Mrs. Fisher will come oui of h?r hid- c' ing platfe and will be given to the date e on which she will be ptaced once e mofe-?n exhibit. Mrs. Fiahei and her husband, John ? Fisher, kept the Six-MUg iiou^ pi- 1 raucously confused with the Four-JWiV ^ House, ahouu 1820, an.d considerable n curiosity was aroused over the cop- ? tinued disappearances of those who b stopped overnight at the bcst-lry. In- b vestigations wei\> made ar.d it was found that the :ru sts had b'-on mur- ? dered and their b mes buried m the " cellar, The guilty pair were arrested and tried and sc enced, the wimnti f b~ing the first and nly woman bang-- ? ed in this state. a Desperadoes \ery Active. d The following r.. unt of the .,r.ej * is taken from Kin.'s "Newspnpei' si Tress of Charleston, >uth Carolina":' >* "Too frequently the torch of the r< incendiary, together With the machinations of the desperado, gave scope c for individual condemnation. Not less L frequently were the warnings given a by the City Journals to the authorities r to suppress the then existing evils. This condition of society, bad as it r was in the city, was much worse in c the environs. Gangs of white despera- v does, occupied certain houses, and in- ( tested the roads loading t?> the city, c To such an extent did these outlaws 1 i-arry their excesses, that wagoners t ?nd others coming to the city were * under the necessity "f carrying rifles * n their hands for defense. Travelers * passed these houses with fear and f trembling. More dreaded than others E )f these haunts was that known as the I Six-Mile House, occupied by John > Fisher and Lavinia, hs wfe. State S Sheriff N. G. Cleary was forced c igainst these highwaymen. With a I lumber of mounted citizens and de- * tachments from the Charleston Rifle- f nen, Washington ight Infantry and ? die Northern Volunteers, he started r m the errand of extermination. f Great Fear on the Galltv-vn. t "The City Papers of January and c February, 1820, give accounts of the ^ capture of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher. The Constitutional Court' of the 19th of k lanuary, 1820, had refused to giant 1 lew trials to John and Lavinia Fish- 1 ;r convicted at the previous court of ? lighway robbery, and they were sen- 1 enced to be hung on Friday, 4th day ' >f February, following. They were, lowever, respited until the 18th on :heir petition imploring an opportunty for preparation, and asking but For time to meet their God.' On Friday, 18th, at 2 o'clock, just within the lines, on a hill east of the Mcetng street road, about 800 yards north >f the street now known as Line street continued. John Fisher and lis wife nret their fate, the former >vith calmness and composure and the atter with fear and trepidation. * "Mrs. Fisher appeared, frcm the :.ime of her arrest, to be under the nfluenee of wrong passions and feelngs. It was* evident that she flattered lerself with the expectation of pardon From the executive. Mr. Fisher on ari iving within sight of the gallows, lrew his wife conclusively to his josom, and speedily nerved himself for the issue. The unhappy wife could lot believe it possible that she was so <oon to die. She called upon the imnonse throng assembled to rescue her tnd implored pity with outstretched ind trembling hands. No scene could be more appalling as the ill-fated pair stood between time and eternity. The ' platform gave way at a given signal from the sheriff, then all was hushed and still?that which was mortal had put on immortality." The skeleton of Mrs. Fisher was at lirst owned by the Medical College, ay which it was given to the Museum. Vew World Record Made by Elliott a " Cotati, Cal., Aug. 7.?Frank Elliott \ today possessed a new world's record 1 A 25 minutes, 49 and 72 100 seconds { for driving an automobile 50 mi>e3 t an a board track. He also toos a 10. - \ mile race in 53 minutes here yesterday c after his record-breaking 50 mile run in the Cotati Spring. e Jimmy Murphy was forced out of \ the spring while he was in the lead \ and travelling 119 miles an hour. In \ the 19th lap he stripped a tire which t pammed a brake band. Murphy also c :ame t<? grief in the century event, in which three tire changes forced him to \ take second place. F.lliott drove the 1 100 miles without a tire change. r The former record for 50 miles was t Hold oy Kaiph dt Palma, veteran Ital- c inn pilot. He made the mark at j S'.heepshead bay, N. Y., on June 14, i 1014, when he negotiated the distance f in 26 minutes 28 and 41-100 seconds. Tommy Milton was second and Ed- J Jie Hearne third, Jerry Wonderlich, fourth, Bennett Hill fifth and Art Klein sixth. Elliott's average t peed for the ICO mile race was 113 1-2 miles an hour ^ rommy Milton took third place.

The person adorned with a red head 4, f any eMdo of red,-golden, auburn, 4 Htian or post plain'brick-dust is a bit J iilVrant. 1 It Tttry -be a Aery temper ; ed tart tongue, but on? can count n nemetHtair out of the ordinary. At 4 'ast red-haired people are rarely i ores. 4 "A red-headed school boy stands ^ uc r.oove otncrs. ?S9iore ne has been i school t'.vo<lays the name his motht ygave him ia forgotten and hence>rth he 1$ 'Red.' And Red soon becomes known. Did you ever hear of rechheaded boy the whole school idn't jknow? Ask a man about a chccl mate of years ago and he will ay, 'James Blank?let me see?oh ou mean Rod Blank, the boy with the L'ddeat head in school.' It ia the same way after-school and nllege, they stand out in the world, .ct a red-haired man come to town tkI someone is soon asking who that ed-headed chap is. There is no feminine name to coxfspond to 'Red' and red-haired girls ne imply red haired and distinctive vithout being designated so by name. | )f course, Redette might do but girls lor't take kindly to such nicknames. Hun frequently, when a boy would k? simply red-headed, a girl is au>urn haired, golden haired, Titian laired, rarely just plain 'red.' Poets iav? treated the subject of red-haired firls rather extensively. In fact, it eenu to be one of those things that >rey on their minds. Almost any! rersilicr can write a sonnet on the! flint of golden sunshine in her hair, ir 'her tresses of trailing gold,' 01 >erhaps 'locks lie n flame from Vesa's altar.' It all depends on how ar gone the poor chap is when he sits lown to indite fourteen lines of sentinental sonnets are still written w th i quiil pen. We'll have to look into hat matter before writing any. Some >f 'em read like they had been written vith a goose quill. "Will :ain Butler Yeats has even L tone so far* af, to make the fairie; ed-headod. In his "The Land of leart's Desire' he takeks pains to deicribe the Child as a 'beuutifui :hild with red\ hair.' And if red- < leaded fairies, ino doubt red-headed , ingels. iWTbw a nice henna head vill look on sot.ne of us grizzled old ;haps. There are those who insist 4 hat all who have red hair are not an- < ?elic. Since Yeats said the fairies < lad red hair, it probably explains why , ritania led Oberon such a henpecked ife, for the queen of the fairies cor. ainly had a red-headed disposition. "But for all that, red hair is magletic. Probably men will suffer more from red-heauod women than frcm iny other sort. A few cynics say they lo. Xantippe is said to have been red-haired but Socrates took her storming and/.-.colding without comjlaint. On second thought, maybe Xantippe wasn't red-headed after all, , 'or the shade never seems to^show up n her restaurant keeping descendmts. "Anyway, the world is a friend of i red-headed man. The world doesn't read on a red-headed man's toes but she world likes him, nevertheless. \nd poets will continue to pen verses ;o 'milady with the red-gold hair."? Greenwood Index-Journal. Fortune Fails to Smile On Lord Lascelles London, Aug. 8.?The first business enture of Lord Lascelles, better mown as the husband of Princess dary, has proven a failure. The 3onquerer Typewriter Manufacturing Company in Stourton, near Leeds, of vhich he was the head and principal hareholder, has just been sold. The concern was started in 1919 vith a nominal capital of half a milion sterling. It was intended oy the >vomoters to produce an all British ypewriter which should compete vith the best of the American niahines. The erection of the factory and its tquipment was undertaken at a time vhen prices ruled high. No expense vas spared and when the works vere completed they were considered he "last word" in modern mass proluctions. It was hoped that the new Industry vould provide regular employment 'or 400 work people. Much experi uental work was undertaken in order o justify the name "Conquerer" and snsure production on a sufficiently irofitable basis. But owing to the ndustrial slump not a single mahine has been produced for sule. \merican Traveler Rebuked For Bad Manners Bremen, Aug. 8.?Some resentment vas aroused in a cafe here recently vhen an American diner took a housand mark note from his wallet j ind cooly cleaned his shoes with it i ?s an exhibition to other patrons in he place.
