Lisbon, April 10.-The farmers are well up with their work, great deal of corn planted and up, good many ready to plant cotton seed, but they are wait Ing until the ground gets warmer; the small grain looks fairly well in places. The farmei's have used less fertilizer this season than usual,.and we think that the farmers are going Into stock and hog raising and plant. less cotton as the years roll by. The farmers know by actual experience that they can make more by making their own food stuff, and if that would reduce the cotton crop down to 10,000,000 we would realize more money than we would if we got 15,000,000. We are glad to see so many out for the different offices, as it will give ev ery man a chance to vote for the man of their choice. Mr. Cooper is a man that we are very much interested in and we hope to see him governor of South Carolina, next year.

Washington, April 14.-The senate late today adopted the army bill amendment of Senator Smith of South Carolina appropriating $15, 000,000 for a government nitrate plant. The vote was 43 to 22. This action disposed of the second big fight in the senate over the sen ate substitute for the house army re organization bill. Senator Smith's amendment provides for the sale of Panama canal bonds for raising the required $15,000,000 and the presi dent is authorized to designate not more than five water power sites for power plants. When products of these plants, which will be operated exclu sively by the government, are 4lot needed for manufacture of munitions of war the surplus could be sold for fertilizer. Three Democrats-Senators Cham berlain, chairman of the military af fairs committee; Hardwick and .Johnson of Main-voted against the amendment, while seven Republicans -Senators Clapp, Gronna, Kenyon, l.a Follette, McCumber, Norris and Poindexter--joined the majority in supporting it. Today's action was taken in spite of the contentions of the military committee that an army reorganiza tion measure was no place for water power legislation. A nitrate water power section in the house bill was defeated when the i-lay bill was un der consideration in the house so that final determination of the issue must await action in conference. Over the objection of the military committee an amendment by Senator Iomerene giving military rank to 1elmbers of the dental corls was adopted.
