POTASH INSOLUBLE, SATS MR. BROOKS. I SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS SHOW THAT GROUND FELDSPAR GIVE NO APPRECIABLE INCREASE. William P Brooks, of the Massachusetts agricultural college, has taken exception to a statement recently given out by W N McCrillis.a geologist of Cambridge, in regard to the potash deposits in the United States. Mr Crillis asserted that there is plenty of potash in available conditions is this country, as those who read this statement in The Record will remember. Mr Brooks, while admitting there are potash deposits, denies that the mineral is in a usable condition. He has issued j the following statement, which will be found of interest: "The most common rocks of New England are rich in potash. Mr McCrillis, however, goes on to state that this potash is extremely cheap and soluble. I do not deny that it is cheap, but the fact is, Mr McCrillis to the contrary notwithstanding, that it is not soluble by natural agencies nor is it made so to any appreciable extent by the action of the living plant. "There is, it is true, much difference in soils, in respect to the quan* *?L ?/tan f nr. tity oi potasn wuiuu mcj VOU * u< I nish to the growing plant, but there is no doubt that the supply in the great majority of our soils is much below what is required to produce satisfactory crops. "Mr MoCrillis asserts that the potash in our feldspathic rocks becomes very soluble and available for plant life if only it be ground extremely fine. It happens that this question has been tested very thoroughly in this experiment station over a long series of years?1908 to 1914, inclusive. In this series of experiments the use of soluble potash salts gave large increases in practically all crops. The use of finely ground feldspar, from which the manufacturers claimed that the potash was available, gave no appreciable increase. "It was compared with soluble potash salts in five different series of experiments. In one it was used in such quantity as to furnish the same amount of potash as was con tained in the salts; in the second series in quantity to furnish double potash; in a third in quantity to furnish three times; in a fourth, four times, and in a fifth series, five times. Even where used in the largest quantity the fine ground feldspar gave no increase in crop. The yield was substantially the same as on plots similarly treated in all other respects, but left without potash over the long series of years. "It is certainly to be hoped that a method will some time be found to render the potash contained in our feldspathic rocks available, but the fact is, no such method which is commercially practicable is at present known, and the New England farmer who should depend upon fine ground feldspar as a source of pot-; ash on soils and on crops requiring j that element, would certainly be! doomed to disappointment." j -SHE GOT HER MONEY BACH. St Matthews Woman "Queers" Game of Eye "Doctor." St Matthews, February 7:?Four ! men, styling themselves "Dr" and passing off as eye specialists, came ,T>ere Saturday and came near getting into trouble. These "specialists,"" it seems, carry a pretentious looking ease. The case is filled with "specs" galore, all "solid gold." The "doctors ' are all gentlemen of faultless spiel and carry an import-j ant and learned look. They talk in technical terms and talk fast, too. JTtanr habit seems to be to go casual -1 ly into the Work of making a thorough examination of the eye, simply ' to see if anything should be needed, j guided more by patriotic phil-; anthropy than a mere desire to sell ] goods. During the progress of the! examination a terrible defect ap- I pears in one eye and all at once the victim see double. That is a sure sign that somebody is going blind, These are all ci dependent upon the changes.

They worked their game here in several places, but one lady discovered after she had parted with her cash that it was not her eye that made her see double but the lens that she had tried. Further, she found by using the acid test that the "solid gold" frames fairly fumed of brass. She also learned that immediately upon making the sale the "doctors" had secured a car of good speed and were shaking the dust of this place from their feet.

They were discovered in Columbia late Saturday night, and when they were advised that they could pay up or ride back in the Sheriff's new car and try their hand at road building they paid up, and said in addition by way of compensation for the trouble of the aggrieved one, that they knew a member of her family well, and had they known then who she was they would never have thought of playing her such a trick. | CALOMEL DYNAMITES A SLUGGISH LIVES. Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and Yon Lose a Day's Work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone,which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, vou just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it. At a special term of court, ordered by Governor Manning to be held j at York last week, Israel Good, a 17-year-old negro, was tried and convicted of criminal assault upon the person of a little tf-year-old white girl of that county and was sentenced by Judge Thomas S Sease to be electrocuted on Friday, February 25. In connection with this case it is interesting to know that Giles Good, grandfather of the negro convicted at York Monday, was lynchj ed, together with four other negroes, 30 years ago for the murder of a little white boy in that county.

Lake City Man Announces for Superintendent of Education. It has been announced that Mr George L Dickson, of this'place, will make the race for the office of Coun1 ty Superintendent of Education the coming summer. Mr Dickson is a man who enjoys the confidence and respect of those who know him and will doubtless give a good account of himself in the campaign. He states that he is receiving very gratifying reports from various sections of the county.?Lake Cifi/ New*. | * War Upon Pain, Pain is a visitor to every home and usually it comes quite unexpectedly. , But you are prepared for every emergency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy. It is the greatest painkiller ever discovered. Simply laid on the skin? no rubbing required?it drives the pain away. It is really wonderful. Mervin H Soister, Berkeley, Cal, writes: "Last Saturday, after tramping around the Panama Exposition with wet feet, I came home with my neck so stiff that I couldn't turn.

Mr A J C Cottingham, president of the Bank of Dillon and one of Dillon's leading citizens and most prominent business men, died suddenly at his home in that town Sunday, 30th ult. Mr Cottingham was at the bank Saturday attending to his duties as usual; when he retired at his usual hour that night he complained of a slight pain in his left side. When his sister-in-law, who was visiting at the home, went, to his room to awake him about 6 o'clock Sunday morning she found him breathing his last. Severe Cold Quickly Cured. i "On December first I had a very i severe cold or attack of the grip as it may be, and was nearly down sick in bed," writes J 0 Metcalf, YVeatherby, Mo. "I bought two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it , was only a few days until I was completely restored to health. I firmly ! believe that Chamberlain's Cough j Remedy is one of the very best medicines and will know what to do when I have another cold." Obtainable everywhere.
