" ( Government Tries Out Qual- J ities of Three Different Staples. If Washington.?Because of tho murkin tit itrrtdiwt if?n >-V 1 i v.< n-Egyptian cotton, cotton technologists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have been conducting spinning tests to compare it in waste, tcnK*le strength, hloaclr.ey, niercerization !

Inasmuch as these cottons can f k* substituted for each other to somextcnt in making c.ortnin classes of goods, the spinning tents thus roport< \ in Professional Paper tfol), of the o'Tice of Markets and Rural Organisation, should prove of general inter? st to cotton manufacturers. The tests thus reported were con ducted on the 1914 crop (luring the h'lmmcr of 1915 on the following lots ' V cotton, namely, four bales ol Arizona-Egyptian cotton?one of each of the grades, extra, choice, standard and medium; three bales of Sukellaridis Egyptian cotton, shipped from Alexandria, Egypt, marked Mcrr, ' -onn and Edm. of the grades good, f illy good fair and fair; and two i 1 tales of sea island cotton shipped from Blackshcar, Ga., of the grades fancy and extra choice.

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK. Throughout uie tests care was taten to have mechanical ami other con litions the same for each kin<l of cot-, on. < Summary of Tests. The relative waste discarded in the nanufacturing processes of tlie four grades of Arizona-Egyptian cotton osted was as follows: Extra, 17.CDi icr cent; choice, 18.56 per cent; slai-! lard, 20 per diet; medium, 20.00 per :ent. These tests show that with reaped :o grade the four bales of ArizonaE ypliaa cotton were proportionately ess wasty than the two bales of set :dand of Georgia, and the two bale.*if sea island were proportionate^ ess wasty than the three bales of Sakellaridis from Alexandria, Egypt. There was :io relation in the price I if the different kinds of cotton to the percentages of waste discarded in the ' manufacturing processes. The reverse i ondition developed, namely, Arizona- i Egyptian cotton was eliminated to be. J lower in commercial value than sea Island, and sea island to be lower than Sakellaridis, when comparing equivalent grades. There was no significant relationship between the tensile strength of the respective grades of ArizonaEgyptian cotton. The difference in the tensile strength of yarn made from tho three kinds of cotton was practically negligible. Considerable deviation occurred varying slightly in favor of first one kind and then another, but, as a whole, resulting somewhat in favor of the Sakellaridis Egyptian cotton, with the sea island coming second. However, the tensile strength for the highest numbers of yarn wan in favor of the sea island*cotton. There is no significant relationship between the prices of the different cottons and the percentage of waste and tensile strength. The results show that our domestic cottons are equal to, and in most respects superior to, imported cottons. The preferences oi manufacturers must be changed in order to introduce satisfactory any new cotton. The laboratory test indicated that after bleaching, dyeing, and mercerizing, the Arizona-Egyptian and Sea Island cottons were practically equal to each other a?\d were slightly superior to the Sakellaridis in their bleaching and mercerizing properties; that they were fully equal to each other in dyeing proportions; and in tensile strength the advantage wasj slightly in favor of the Sea Island andj Sakellaridis. The finished grey and mercerized yarns were comparatively equal in luster; however, the yellow color was a little more evident in the Arizona-Egyptian than the Sakellaridis, which in turn was somewhat more yellow than the Sea Island. The difference in color was more apparent between the Arizona and the Sakellaridis than between the Sea Island ar.d Sakellaridis. ? o Old papers for sale at this office. o?

Kings!roe, April 15.?The biggest blaze that has ever been seen in this community started Wednesday flight about 10 o'clock at the storage building of the Gulf Oil Refining company, which is located in the northeastern section of town. P. S. Courtney is the local agent of this company and had stored in the building something over i 100 iron drums of gasoline and a large quantity of kerosene. S. H. DuBose, the delivery man for Mr. Courtney, was in the building filling his tanks for the following days delivery to customers. He carried a lantern and in some way the building was accidently ignited. An alarm was civon and the fire department were quickly on the scene but owing to the inflammable nature of the contents of the" building, it was possible to save only adjoining* p ro p o i*t y. The fire presented a great sight, as the black clouds of smoke and the dazzling flames shot alternately hundreds of feet into the air and the bcom of one explosion after another followed in rapid succession, the force of the explosions throwing parts of the iron containers or drums hundreds of feet away. On this acount people were loath to go near the burning building. The flames rapidly spread to the ginnery and office building of the Southern Cotton Oil company, and both buildings, including all machinery and fixtures were quickly consumed. The seed house adjoining the oil mill and the residence of S. A. Anderson caught also hut the efficient work of the fire department saved them from destruction. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad company, whose tracks tu c vci,v mar uie location ot the burn oil buildings came in for small dam-j ages in burned ties and telegraph poles and crossarms. The Cotton Oil company had just completed .$1,1 Oh worth of repairs.to the property a day or two prior to the fire. The assistant district manager of the Southern Cotton Oil company, Columbia, was on the scene early yesterday and said that a new ginnery would be erected to replace the one destroyed. Work on this will be start eii without delay so as to have it ready for operation by the time the fall crop is ready for gining. Senator (J. K.

"This law has made a distinct advance for prohibition by limiting the the amount of liquor used, and I deem it best that it should stand," said CJov. I ernor Manning in a statement in ref| erence to the gallon-a-month act enacted by the legislature in 1915. The j governor states that he will not sign [ the two-quart-a-month act at the ; present time. It is understood that the governor has conferred with prohibition leaders from various parts of tho state in reference to this matter, and has reached i his decision after a careful consideraj tion of the subject from various angles. The governor's statement follows: "The gallon-a-month law will stand "as'the law regulating the Importation! of liquor into South Carolina for personal use. This was the law enacted by the legislature at the same time as the referendum act ordering the prohibition election, and was in force i when the election was held. This law ; is made a distinct advance for prohibition by limiting the amount of liquir used and I deem it best that it should stand, unless something occurs i to change the situation. To retain the i gallon-a-month law is to keep faith | with the people, and, in my judgment, , will be a long way to promote temper ance, so long as it is rigidly enforced. , "I shall continue to direct a vigorous enforcement. I will not, therefore, at this time sign the tv/o-quart a-month act, but will hold same in , abeyance pending any change in conditions that may occur."

Senator Smith of South Carolina, ttic ' author of the amendment, cited a law passed in 1856, similar in purpose to the agricultural feature of his amendment and delivered one of the strongest arguments in behalf of his measure which has yet been made. Discussing the amendment, Senator Smith said in part: "This is no new subject. I have read a portion of an act of congress | passed in 1856 relative to an artificial , fertilizer to be used in the United States. S.> wonderful was its effect upon the depleted fields of the Ajtlantie seaboard 'hat Mr. Seward of New j York, at one time a senator from that! State and later secretary of state on- j lor Mr. Lincoln, introduced and had passed ip the congress of the United j States the act of 1856, to which 1 have; referred, which / as bused upon the night of a government to take possession of islands and lands not occupied b\ other governments; but it sets forth clearly that the object in invoking that right on behalf of the United States was for the purpose of securing this fertilizer and controlling the price of it for the benefit of the agri-; cuiturists of this country. There was! some thing said here the other day about an attempt to control the price, j I want to call the attention of the senate to the parallel that exists now between the purpose of the amendment which I have introduced and the act of 18T>(). Issue Clear Now. "Now that we are face to face with this issue. The necessity at the time of the passage of the act of 185(> for fertilizer for our soil has been increased in geometrical progression. It! is true that the discovery of the vast i phosphate bed in South Carolina, Ten- j noSfioe nnd Klnrirln ?n? ?? ? 1 ? n<'i the necessity for soil enrichment, but! we are today standing face to face with the problem of how we can support our rapidly increasing population while the fertilizer of our soil is decreasing. "The farmers have never come here and asked very much, and yet their contribution to the welfare of this country is the foundation upon which everything is built. "Scientists now declare that the process of extracting nitrogen from the uir in unlimited quantities is a j commercial success, and in view of the fact that it is an essential ingredient for the enrichment of the soil, 1 think the congress would be derelict in its duty unless some action were, taken. I am not asking that the government of the United States shall grant any special privileges, but I ami asking that it shall develop, as far as may be, the opportunities of the farm . rs of this country, so that they may be put in the best possible position te feed and clothe the population of the United States. I am not concerned about whether the question may seem socialistic or whether it may seem populistic. It did not so seem to the congress of earlier days, the days of the formative period of the government, when those questions were vital in establishing the form of our government. The main thing that I am coneer.ted here about is how we can | best provide for that great class of people vho boar the burden of this government. Two Already Proved. i "The fact remains chat as to the two processes, namely, the are pro-j1 cess and the cyanide process, all ofj the experts and scientists now consid- j e> them commercial facts. The war in Kuropj* is testimony to their success. | They have also stated that this ingrc- | dient, nitrogen, which is so essential in fertilizer, under these processes | can be produced at one-half the cost I | ot the Chilean saltpeter of ante-hell-; Ium prices, not the prices now, for, the prices now have been quadrupled; | but that it could be furnished for j agricultural purposes at one-half of | the former prices. So whatever amendments may he offered to my pending amendment, the one essential feature which I shall insist shall remain in the bill is that after the government has supplied itself with the munition* of war the farmers of this country may be the beneficiaries of I he surplus." | big time expected at s. s. wwimw Special Train Will Carry Delegates From Columbia to Charleston DELEGATES ENTERTAINED IN CITY 3Y THE SEA Some of the Most Note!

'I hose rates will be announced by the railroads in the next few days. All indications point to the approaching convention being the largest in the history of the association. There bid, fair to be much rivalry as to the county in the State sending the largest number of delegates to the convention. The workers in several counties are making efforts to have their respective counties carry off the honors. The program for the convention has been completed and will be announced shortly. It is one of the most inter(ho A qurtcisi*inn hoc Inswl in years. Some of the most noted Sunday School workers in the country are to be heard and the leaders in the work in this State are also given prominent places. There are about fifty speakers on the program. All registered delegates will be given free entertainment by the people of Charleston. Reception committees will meet all trains. All Sunday Schools in the State are entitled t? three delegates besides superintendent and pastor. The convention this year will be the first since R. I). Webb became State Secretary, but he will not be a Strang| er to the delegates by any means, as | he has visited or will visit every | county in the State before May 1, 5 since he became'secretary of the association on September 1. Mr. Webb came to South Carolina from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute where he was professor of English. Under Ilia administration the Sunday School work in the State has been quickened. He is leaving no stone unturned to make the approaching convention an epoch. ' w AX IDEAL SPTUXG LAXATIVE. A good and time tried remedy is Dr. King's Mew Life Pills.
