Mr. Gregg is here again after an absence of souie weeks. * The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. W. B, Boston died Saturday morn JIIR. Mr. Kachman has gone tp Dillon , to take a position as clerk in Mr. Max Fass'store. Mr. R. L. Singlttary and Miss Eleida SntcllfTe attended preaching ut Hebron Sunday. Rev. Saddler now has two appointments each month at the Piesbyterian church, to wit: the second and fourth Sunday afternoons. We saw eight or ten bales of cotton come in at one time last week and suppose they came from one man. This seems to show that there is still some of the fleecy staple in the country. We have heard that Mr. P. S. Wall, of Seranton, will also ask for ho L-avn of thp auditor's office. We would say more aboukthis, but it is only rumor, and there may be no , foundation for the rumor. Mr. Archie Shaw, of Charleston, is visiting his ; sister, Mrs. D. M. Epps. A short while ago he met with the misfortune of having his leg broken by a street car. After being laid up a while lie is now able do go around on crutches. Mr. J. 1). Singletary says that he "will try strawberries under cover next season. He is satistled that in a hot bed he can bring them to perfection much earlier than in open air. On a protected plant he had a half grown berry several days ago.

Work it out and you will rind that that is marvelous speed?less lhan that of a one-eyed mule pulling a Dixie plow. We have it straight that H. Q. Askins, Esq., has about determined to be in the race for the position of auditor. He hits never asked for office before. He is no doubt thoroughly qualified to fill the position. We do not espouse the cause of any candidate, but we venture the prediction that his entry will add interest to the race. Miss Essie Marcos finished her * term at the New Zion school last week. The patrons are very much pleased with her both as a lady and a teacher. All who know her regret her departure. She has gone to her home in Florence \\ here she will remain some before going to Vo.lr lulioro bhu hdu ?f>(>l)rHll H <*if. l\/ir%9 UUVi V waiv ? ?- .n. uat?on. Even the "shoo fly" train is losing her reputation. She had won the confidence of the public by being almost invariably on time. Men learned to set their watches by her arrivals and departures. But alas, for human faith! Evil communications corrupt good manners; by keeping company with the "old tish special" she is contracting the same bad habit of tardiness.

He was a man of good character and of quiet unassuming nature. A few years ago lie served this town us marshal and made a conscientious andfaithful officer.

Valuable and thorough experiments in the maintenance of tbe fertility of tbe soil have been continned for a number of years at tbe Ohio station. Tbe results of these experiments appear to justify tbe opinion that for tbe crops and SDila nnder test phosphoric acid is at present tbe most important constituent of a fertilizer, with nitrogen and potash following in tbe order named. Furtber conclusions drawn by tbe station are: Tbe largest increase is only obtain*! when tbe fertilizer oontsins all three of these constituents, bnt it does not as yet seem necessary to use nitrogen and potash in so large proportion, relatively to phosphoric acid, ae would be indicated by the chemical composition of the crops. Apparently, phosphoric acid should considerably exceed either nitrogen or potash in qoantity in a fertilizer for j corn, oats or potatoes, while for wheat the proportion of nitrogen may closely approximate that of pbocphorio acid. Nitrate of soda ia apparently the most affective carrier of nitrogen in common nae as a fertilizer, bot it can seldom be used with economy in Ohio because of the relatively high cost of ita nitrogen. Slaughterhouse tankage, which is the carrier of "ammonia" in practically all the factory mixed fertilizers aold in this state, ia probably a less effective carrier of nitrogen than nitrate of soda, but the cost of nitrogen in unmixed tankage, when dne allowance ia male for the phosphoric acid carried by the tankage, ia so much less than in nitrate of soda that tankage becomes a much more economical source of nitrogen to the Ohio former than nitrato of soda. This advantage in tankage disappears, however, when it is purchased in tho ordinary factory mixed fertilizer, since the price at which soch fertilizers are generally sold brings the cost of their nitrogen to a higher figure than its necessary cost in nitrate of soda, while the experiments reported in bulletin 93 of this station indicate that the nitrogen of the factory mixed fertilizer is not more effective than that of ordinary : tankage. Dissolved boneblack is apparently a more effective carrier of phosphoric acid : than rrw bonemeal or acid phosphate, ; ! bat dissolved boneblack, like nitrate I of soda, is seldom or never nsed in the compounding cf factory mixed fertil- j izers in Ohio, because of the lower tost I of phosphoric acid in other materials. Acid phosphate, on account of its 1 ! comparative cheapness and large sup- j "lo hoenmn Kfnnftnrrt carrier of y.j, ...... .... ( I fertilizer phosphoric acid. Our experi> merits indicate that commercial acid t phosphate, like slaughterhouse tankage, I 1 is variable in composition, and both materials should only be bought on a guaranteed analysis. Our experiments fully support the inferenco that the phosphoric acid of heme- i meal and tankage, when these materi. als are finely ground, is quite v.b effect- j ! ive, pound for pound, as the "available" ; 1 phosphoric acid of acid phosphate, and I that these materials, unlike boneblack j and Carolina rock, require no treatment with sulphuric acid to make their phosphoric acid available, provided only the ! grinding be done with sufficient thor- i ooghneaa. Investigations indicate that j there has been a decided improvement | : in grinding within recent years. Basic slag appears to stand next to dissolved rtueblack in effectiveness as a carrier of phosphoric acid. Apparent- ! ly this result is in part at least dne to ; : the superior mechanical oondition of the alag meal, as it is au extremely fine pow- i | der. This material is not treated with j I acid. These experiments show that the fer- I J tilizing constituents of barnyard ma- | i nure act more slowly than those of com- j j mereial fertilizers, bat as they cost j much less in manure it beoomea the cheapest fertilizer. The advantage of applying manure to : the surface Instead of plowing it under i is strikingly shown. WOULD SMASH THK CLUB. If members ?f the "Hiy Fever Association" would u??
