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."

-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

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

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.
Colds Need Attention.
Internal throat and chest troubles
produce inflammation, irritation,
spelling or soreness and unless
checked at once, are likely to lead
to serious trouble. Caught in time
Dr Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey loosens
the phlegm and destroys the germs
which have settled in the throat or
nose. It is soothing and healing.
Pine is antiseptic; honey is soothing?both
together possess excellent
medicinal qualities for fighting cold
germs. Insist on Dr Bell's Pine-TarHoney.

It has been announced that Mr

make the race for the office of Coun1

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. I
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis?

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.
