Isen, Sagacious Legltriutor, Uontle. ni an. Col. J. Hnmpdcn Brooks, one of the foremost figures In the military Mb tory of the .-date, and the descendant of a family which has long been prom inent In legal and political lifo of the State passed away Tuesday night at 8:30 o'clock, at the residence of bis daughter. Mrs. J. Quitman Marshall, oil Laurel Street. In Columbia. Col. Brooks was in his 79th year. He was a native of Kdgefleld county, and had spent the larger portion of bis life on bis plantation in that portion of Edge field county transferred to Greenwood when the latter county was formed. Col. Brooks was the youngest of four brothers, two of whom took a prominent part In the Mexican War, the remaining two being equally as prominent In the annals of the War Bid ween the Si "Hons. In addition to his war record Col. Brooks has been prominent in the political life of his native State, and has made a host of friends throughout. South Carolina, who will learn with regret of his death Native of Edgeileld. John liampden Brooks was born at Bdgoflcld Court House, September G, 1833.

He was a brave faith ful soldier of the Confederacy in his youth, as were thousands of others, and ho returned home from the war to meet with the same patience and for titude the changed conditions that war had brought. He lived the life of an ?Upright citizen, and when called on to serve 1:1s people in the State senate, he was the same (inlet, patriotic citizen, inspired by the highest Ideals of Amer ican citizenship. But men of his type are fast passing from us. Their lofty conceptions of public service, their scrupulous regard for the rights of others, manifested publicly in the observance of law and regard for established government, and shown privately in a gentlemour tesy towards men and women and chil dren, these traits make the "gentleman of the old school," of which Col. Brooks was one. Starts .Much Trouble.

W. 1). .MAY FI ELD INDICTED. ronm-r Stale Superintendent of Edu cation Charged with Breach of Trust i\ iHi Fraudulent Intent. Greenville, Nov. 17.?W. l>. .May field, a resident of El Paso, Texas, but a native of this county, and at one time State superintendent of educa tion of South Carolina, appeared be fore Magistrate Samuel Stradley this morning and ga\e bond for his ap pearance at Hie January term of the court of common ideas to answer charges of "breach of trust with fraudulent intent," preferred against him by R. C. Stone of this city as ad ministrator of the estate of John Ban nister. In an affidavit subscribed to before the magistrate the deponent alleges that ' as appears from the rec ords in the probate court W. 1). May field was the executor of the estate, of John Bannister, deceased; that some four or five years ago, as he is informed and believes, said VV. 1). Maytield left the State of South Caro lina and located at El Paso, Texas, without any notice or any accounting of Iiis doings in regard to said estate to the probate court; that when he left the State he had in Iiis possession belonging to said estate the sum of $4,601.12, and that W. ?. May field had committed a breach of trust with fraudulent intent by appropriat ing said money to Iiis own use." It was stated that Mr. Mayfleld would be granted a preliminary hear ing before Magistrate Stradley within the next few days. Tonight an attor ney for the defendant stated that Mr. Mayfleld has paid over every cent of the estate money and has receipts whereby he can sustain it. Several days ago Sheriff .1. Perry Poole went to I'd Paso with an arrest warrant based upon the affidavit of Mr. Stone and with requisition papers signed by Gov. Blease and the gov ernor of Texas. I'pon arriving in El Paso Sheriff Poole found that Mr. Mayfleld was in New Mexico, having gone there for the purpose of look ing after certain business interests in the State. The Creenvllle sheriff left the pnpors with the chief of police of El Paso with instructions to notify Mr. Mayfield upon his return to the city i-s to their contents. Returning to I'd Paso Mr. Maytield received no tice of Sheriff Poole's mission and left at once for Greenville. He surren dered this morning to the Greenville county authorities and Immediately afterwards gave bond. Magistrate Stradley fixed the bond in the sum of $2,000, to which W. l). Maytield, George ! k. Mayfleld, and j. VV. Moody,'affixed their t signatures., A Fertilizer Straightening Out.. Readers of farm papers and agri cultural columns of county papers of ten run across such enquiries as "What's the difference between Thom as Phosphate and Basic Situ: . "Shall I use Thomas Phosphate or Basic Sing under com:" etc., etc. Thomas Phosphate is a valuable product of a modified method of steel manufacture. Briefly; tins process consists of the subjecting of the mass of molten iron, to which a cortalll amount of Doimitlc Limestone has been added, to a powerful airblast which changes the phosphorus In the iron ore Into Phosphate Acid. This then unites with the lime, forming a four-lime phosphate, known to chem ists as tetracalclum, or four-lime phos phate (Basic Phosphate). This process is known as the mod ified Bessemer, or Basic, process. Hence the sometime confusion of terms. For, as a matter of fact, all Thomas Phosphate is Basic Slag ev en though all Bash: Slag is-not Thom as Phosphate. Thomas PhOBpl ate has long been the stand-by of the Germans ns an agricultural source of Phosphate Acid Indeed .-bout scvon-olghthg of the world's trd:il output is from the rait ed Thomas PhO! abate Works of Mer lin, Dornlnny.
