% 4 NITRE FROM AIR OF SOUTH CAROLINA ?. i Southern Power Co. Has It 4 Ready to Market This Week BIG OUTPUT FROM GREAT FALLS PLANT ^ Pour Tons a Day Present Capacity?Meets National Need. f i New York, Dec. 29.?Nitric acid obtained by extracting nitrogen from the air will be put on the market by ^ the Southern-Electro Chemical Company, according to a statement made, public by James I?. Duke, one of its) officers. This announcement follows close upon the recommendation of Brigadier General William Crozier, chief of ordnance of the United States army, who in his normal report*urged j^, that the nation take steps to be indc- j pendent of the Chillean beds for the nitrates used in making gun powder. 1\* .. mr. i-'ukc t> company expects to I turn out four tons of nitric acid a day from it^ works at Great Falls, N. C., about f J miles from Chralotte. Th-j chemical will be produced on a much larger scale if the great prob^ lem of getting water power cheap enough can be solved. The work will very likely be can ted on in Canada by the Quebec Development Company, Ltd., of which Mr. Duke is president. This company has been acquiring extensive water power rights in the neighborhood of Lake St. John and wiil have works on the Saguenay river. + that this way lies death. lie will trust the river. With a mighty effort he turns the P steering wheel and the great, plunging auto swerves at the brink of the newly dug culvert and, atilt on two wheels, plows its way through the soft eurth of the roadbed on the stream side and hurtles a rocking, ponderous mass of mechanism down the sloping side of the river bank, swifter than it takes to tell. Tragedy nnd comedy are close akin; in the rnidst of life we are in death. On the green banks of the river 011 this peaceful summer day the Colored tSons of Liberty had elected to hold Jthoir annual picnic. Fat. dusky matrons were spreading tempting cakes niul pie? and pouring the even more templing lemonade beneath the eager eyes of (he longing colored lodge brothers of the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty band could hard% ly keep their smacking lips applied to their battered old instruments as they played "Emancipation Day March." Deacon Jones, in full regalia, was about to summon all to the spread upon the white cloths 011 the ground when, roaring and plunging as though, as Deacon Jones afterwards said, "it was do berry debbil hisself!" came the great racing auto down through the picnic A and the band and across the very festal #prcad, and scattering old darkies and young right and left struck the water with a mighty splash, turning completely over. Neither dusky man nor dusky matron, elder or pickaninny, wait for one moment to see or learn what had gone through their festal gathering like a fiery chariot on judgment day or what had happened to man or mighty machine after they had struck the river. With ashen faces the Colored Sons of Liberty nnd their wives, children, sweethearts and sisters, clambered up the bank to the roadway, shrieking with terror. They did not see. no one saw. the form of a man llonllng down i the river, face up. That eve at early dusk the new risen j moon douoiu a <]uk't raoo floating flown tlio stream. 11:11 f submerged. at times - tlio (lank body rose slightly to the surface; then it was the moon saw. gloaming on that wave wot breast, the ball hidden, half showing Jewel, the "charm against harm" of the Stanleys?the diamond from the sky.

Columbia.?The right of the Genoral Assembly to sell the whiskey now held in the various counties is being Questioned. There are many who believe that the stuff will have to be destroyed. The suggestion is made that the Legislature pass a measure donating the whiskey to the State's institutions such as the asylum and the penitentiary. These institutions have to purchase several thousand dollars worth of whiskey a year for medicinal purposes. Gov. Manning has nothing to say as to the disposition of the surplus stocks declaring that it is purely a matter for the General Assembly, as he has no power. o PRICE OF GASOLINE.

Washington.?The administration rural credits bill was introduced ir the House. It will be introduced in the Senate. Government control of the system would be in a Federal farm loan board of five appointed by the President for ten years each. Loans would be made to farmers by 12 or more Federal land banks, each operating in a separate district with capital of not less than .$500,000, which would be taken by the government^ if not privately subscribed. The land banks would loan to farmers through local associations of borrowers, called national farm loan associations. Every borrower would be required to take stock in the association to the amount of five per cent of his loan. A limit of ?1G years would be placed on loans, and borrowers would be required to make small annual payments on principal. Chairman Glass of the banking committee, asked consideration of a resolution to extend for four months the time in which the joint committee on rural credits shall report on person al credits. Objections to extension deferred action for the present. o ?? NOTICE. There has strayed to my place one steer about 2 years old.

Peeples, attorney general hearing on the enforcement of the pro hibition law, Gov. Manning in a letter 4.^ T "CI- ? n* " vu v. juurun, sneriu oi Charleston county, said: j "I desire that the constables now on duty in Charleston county continue the work they have begun, with even more vigor and vigitencC. The law has been enacted by the representatives of the peoplo in the general assembly. The people have ratified that law bvaip tremenduous majority. It is now j clearly the duty of the olhcers to en- h] force this law. The constables ap- r pointed by me have, under this ruling p by the attorney general, ful 1 author- t Tty under the code to enforce the law. y The magistrate has full authority under the law to issue search warrants s for the purpose of assisting the otli- t, cers i?i the enforcement of this law. ?i "I desire that there be no let up whatever in the activity of the offi- ^ cers. Our duty is plain under the law, ^ and the law is supreme/ In opinions rendered by Thorn as i H. Peeplea, attorney general, he held that hone of the provisions providing 1 > for the enforcement of old whiskey * i laws have been repealed by the prohi- j ^ I bition act, but have continued. "Thej], law remains the same," he says. The 1 opinions were given by the attorney * general upon request of Gov. Man; ning. ; , In the opinion Mr. Peoples said: {1 "In reply thereto I will iay 'hat in < * L my opinion the sections referred to . (section 828 and 880, criminal code) c are provisions for the enforcement of ^ the law not inconsistent with the prohibition act, and are, thereby not re- c pealed, but continued by the said pro- j hibition act. j Search Warrants. ^ i "I am of the opinion, therefore, j that magistrates may continue to I , \ c issue search warrants as provided in | i section 880 of the code. I ( "The only change, as I see it, that has been made in either of these sec- i i I tions is that in section 828, in case of j i forfeited liquor which has been seized! (1 such liquors, in all cases, shall be de-> x stroyed publicly by the sheriff of the s I county, as the dispensary is abolished , in all of the counties." | r ( In another opinion the attorney c general held that constables appointed by the governor should be paid "out j of the ordinary county funds." (l This opinion says: (l "I am in receipt of yours of the 4th inst., which was handed me by u your secretary on the 5th inst., in ref- n erence to section 840, volume 2, criminal code of 1912, and the status of , . this section by reason of the enactment of section 7, act No. 7(>, statutes v , at large, 1915. You asked to be ad- ^ vised whether or not this section re- ^ peals section 840 of the criminal code. I p "In reply I will say /hat in my opinl * ion section 840 of the criminal code is' not only not repealed bv the act of| 1915, but is expressly continued; thatu, act providing that 'Nothing in this actj n contained shall be construed to repeal1 sj any law defining the offense, and any! ^ penalty, fine or provision for the en-If, forcement of law not inconsistent) herewith, but such provisions, penal-j ^ ties and fines shall remain in full force and effect.' This section not f. having been repealed, I am of the ^ opinion that it is not necessary that n constables appointed under that act should be reappointed. | Pay for Constables. i\ "The only change that has been cl made in my opinion in so far as such j.,. 1. I - - i-wnHuiuius are concerned is as to the manner of their payment. While dispensaries wore in operation in conn- a, ties in which dispensary constables I \r were appointed their compensation g was paid by the county dispensary. a] board out of the profits of the dispen-lij. sarins. Since dispensaries no longer j (|j e xist any of the counties, the compensation of these constables should ^ be paid out of the ordinary county j jj funds in such counties where such o! constables may be appointed by the | ei governor. ti "As to the appointment of con- w stables generally by the governor and hi as to their compensation, I would re- ai spcctfully refer you to an opinion ren- b< dored by the assistant attorney gen- ai oral to you on the 7th of April, 1915, ni and opinions rendered by myself to you on the 18th of April, 1915, and * 24th of April, 1915, which you pos- sn sibly hav on file.

Although the heavy fighting coninues in eastern Galicia, around the iukowina frontier and farther north icross the line into Russia in the >tyr river region, no accurate estinate of the situation is as yet obtainible as both the Russians and Aus? rians claim successes for their arms. Seemingly there has been a rerudescenco of the fighting along the ine from Riga southward to the b'ipet River. The Germans has rereated before the Russians near acobstadt and the Russians have aptured a position near Czartorysk, vhile the Germans have driven the iussiuns from a sector in Volhynia. Russian pressure on the Austrian ines from Volhynia southward to lukowina continues heavy, and offiial reports from both sides indicate hat the fighting is of a desperate and anquinary character. Reports of the evacuation of Czerlowitz by the Austrians have not been onfirmed, Petrograd unofficial adices today only claiming that the Russians have compelled the city's lefenders to fall back to their seconlary line. On other fronts there have been the isual artillery, bomb throwing and nine operations in which no essential ;ains have been made by any of the ontending forces.
