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.

ITS BIGGEST BLAZE
People See Remarkable Fire
From Safe Distance as Gas- j
oline is Destroyed.
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.

Governor Manning States That
the Gallon a Month Law
Helped Prohibition.
"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."

Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four i
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treatment
relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After '
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
1 had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
vaiuui, IIIV. WUIiidll 9 IUII1C, iillU I COTTI*
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing my work."
If you are all run down from womanly I:
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try j 1
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It lias helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist lias

CITES HISTORY
IN URGING BILL
Smith Pleads For Fertilizerj
Measure Now Before the
Congress
I
Washington.?Debate on the Smith
amendment, providing for the establishment
of nitrate plants by the government
for the manufacture of nitrates
for munitions and agricultural
purposes continued in the senate.'
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." |

Spartanburg, April 1i>.? P.. T>.
Webb, general secretary of the South
Carolina Sunday School Ais'viation,
has completed arrangements with, the
Southern Railway to operate a special
train from Columbia to Charleston to
carry delegates to the :50th annual
oMivrnuort oi tno association 11 Charleston
ojn May Special coaches
v ill be operated on all tn.uns into Columbia
and there the spe.oiul will l>e
made up to parry the delegates to
,Charleston. Further aanonucenxenttf
as to this train will bo made in a few
days.
Secretary Webb has also made arrangements
for very low rates to the
convention over all of the railroads.
'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.
