For aker former senator of Ohio, to Presi dent Taft, who made it public. Quoting from the Spooner law pro '. viding for the construction of the eanat and from the treaty with Pan ama, Senator Foraker, shows it to I have been set forth clearly that it 1 was th** intention of the United States to protect the canals and harbors. The Panama treaty uses the words, "the : United States shall have the right to establish fortifications." He cites the i fact that the British government did not raise any question as to the Spooner law or the Panama treaty being a oontragention of the Hay Pauncefote treaty. SI TCP. F. US IV. IV. BALL.

LYON WILL MOVE I IN HUNTER CASE (Joes (o Washington to Seck Kurl)' Decision in Xovf Famous I.aureus Count) Murder. .1 Fr?ser Lyon, attorney general of South Carolina, left for Washing ton Saturday to file with the I'nited States supreme court notice of mo tion to dismiss or affirm the Wash Hunter case from I.aureus county. Hunter was convicted In Greenwood county on the charge of killing Eldred i Copeland in Laurens county. He was ' sentenced to eight years in the peni tentiary. An appeal was taken to .he South Carolina supreme court, on the 1 grounds that the Greenwood county I court had no jurisdiction as the klll i ing was in Enureus couuty. The su preme court ainnned the verdict of the lower court. Pending an appeal to the United States supreme court, the remlttur in the case was stayed. The case was next appealed to the i United States supreme court. The gist of the defendant's con tentions in his appeal was that he ; was denied the right of being tried j in the county in which the alleged crime was committed. Mr. Lyon ap ! peared before the I'nited States su preme court with a motion and petl ' tion for certiorari for diminution of . record. This was to complete the I record in the case. The State of South Carolina now ' moves that the supreme court of the i I'nited States dismiss tin; writ of error in the case for want of juris diction because the judgment of the I supreme court of South Carolina to which the writ of error was directed shows that the plaintiff, Wash Hunter, failed properly to claim tiny right under the constitution or laws of the I'nited States. It is asked that it the writ of error be not dismissed the judgment of the South Carolina supreme court be affirmed on the ground "that although, in the opinion of this court, the record mny show that this court has jurisdiction, it is manifest that the writ of error was taken for delay only and that the (pies tlons on which the jurisdiction de pends iire so frivolous us not to need ! further argument.*' Should the motion he refused, the cast- will be argued on its merits.

Clemsou College Adilscs Farmers Re lating to the Csc of Ammonlates in Fertilisers. The largely increased manufacture and sale of commercial fertilizers have necessitated the use of cheaper and inferior sources of Ammonia than have hitherto been used. The Hoard of Fertilizer Control of Clemsou College feels constrained to advise purchasers of fertilizers to examine carefully the inforation print ed on the fertilizer sacks, and to note particularly the statement as to the source of ammonia. At the same time. manufacturers are warned against the use of leather, wool waste, etc.. which materials arc enumerated I In Section "?'.! of our laws, unless these materials have been registered With the Hoard, an 1 satisfactory proof of their nvallablllty tiled. The only tests accepted are held tests conduct ed under scientific control, or so per cent availability by the Neutral Per manganate Method, The use of any materials not properly registered and approved will he given the widest publicity, ard otherwise detilt with as provided by law. The Hoard of Control Is seeking to protect the farmers of South Carolina against the use of ;m.v source of am monia which lias not proven to be available as plant food, in line with this policy, they have adopted n higher standard lor nvallablllty than is in the other Southern Stales. Kxtcnsive Hold tests will I'? conducted during the coming crop year, to determine in this practic.il way whether'Or hot some of the new sources or ammonia which are now being exploited can lift safely recommend "d to our fnfitters. While the rionrtl Of < 'Olltrol desires and intends to !. fair to the manu facturers, and no' to forbid the use of materials which while new to the trade, are satis factory ubstltutcs for som.- of the older ami well recognized sources of ammonia, yet h feels that since these source.; are cheaper, they should stand a rigid I ?< ror availa bility. We would emphasize the advice so i often given to our fanners by our Agricultural Department as to the de sirability of growing pens, velvet beans, vetches, and other legumes in ord *r to reduce the necessity of buy.
