BOARD OF CHARITIES AND COR- i RECTIONS GIVES STA- t TISTICS { That homicide, assaults, larceny c and other felonies are increasing in A South Carolina is established by the ( Board of Charities and Corrections in its analysis of reports from jails ' and chain gangs of South Carolina ; for the quarter ending June 30. Ac- 1 cording to the board's information, ' based on accurate reports from 75 per cent of the jails, there were dur- , ing the last three months eighty-one arrests for homicide, and, according to the law of percentage, there must have been 108 homicides in South Carolina. This mignt oe wiujjoi i.u . with twenty-five homiciles reported |1 in December and eighty-one in March e Violation of the prohibition law also showed rapid increase. According to * the December report* there were twenty-two commitments on this ac- J count; in March forty-six; in June ^ 145. The number of assaults reported ( for the June quarter shows 175, . while eighty-six were reported for 1 the March quarter. The June quarter shows 240 commitments for larceny, . which might be compared with the 1 March quarter, which had 215. June ( reports show 2,024 commitments; c the March reports show 1,902 commitments. From these figures it js | evident that crime is on the increase in this State. G. Croft Williams, secretary of the 5 State Board of Charities and Cor- ' rections, said that there were four * ' wain causes for this state ox aiiaiio. ?first, that there is a psychological reaction from the war, which cheapens human life, that the people have read so much of slaughter and have gotten their minds atune to the theory that wrong must be stopped by physical force; second, that the men returning from the war were of the age at which most crimes are committed, the reports of South Carolina showing that a third of the crimes in this State are committed by negro males from seventeen to twenty-nine years of age; third, that the enacting and enforcing of prohibition laws in other States, diminishing the supply of intoxicating liquors and forcing the price therefor to an exorbitant height, has encouraged those whe were determined to use or sell such to manufacture them or to employ extracts, patents medicines or other substitutes; fourth, that the instability of prices and the restlessness of the population always have a reflection in the a S;Cts of those that are passionate or s cf a weak will. o THE APFEKSUINS AKii cujunu. o Trouble Traced to Trona Potash. Clemson College authorities have investigated the potash situation which has given trouble in the Pee Dee section, and have traced the i r* + licri nf 1 matter iu jts> fuun-c ! ? ? Trona Potash, which contains impurities injurious to crop.-. Mr. Bright Williamson, a prominent banker and fanner of Darlington. and John M. Napier. County Agent of Darlington County found trouble with potash in that county recently and reported the matter to Clemson College. Prof. C. P. Black- j well, Agronomist, and Mr. J. L. i Seal, Plant Pathologist, went imme-1 diately to Darlington and Florence Counties where they met Dr. W. W. Garner, Chief of the Office of tobacco and Plant Nutrition Investigations. The three studied the situation in the fields of Darlington. Florence, and Dillon counties. They agreed that the very erratic seasons have caused poor crop conditions in parts of Florence county which some have erroneously ttrib Syrup Pepsin is >d.

In Darlington coun;y, however, where Trona Potash ' ,'rom Searl Lake, California, purihased through a Charleston broker vas used, very serious injuries were )bserved on a number of farms. The Clemson and Government ex- ( jerts were convinced from field eximinations that this Trona Potash s responsible for the trouble. Thousmds of acres of crops in Darlington lave been destroyed. Other sources of American potash lave given good results so far as investigations show. Since nearly all , he soils of the Coastal Plains sec- j ions of the State are in need of pot- 1 ish, it would be unfortunate to have ' ill potash indiscriminately condemn- : ? ? id along W1U1 mis one suui te. < Director Barre announces that ex jeriments will be begun at once at ' he Pee Dee Station to obtain all . jossible information on the effect of : his material on plant growth. Fur- 1 her study will be made in Darling:on fields to assist farmers in securng data upon which to base claims ' ?or damages These investigations will be reported as soon as the data s available. The legal aspects of the jase will be considered by the Board >f Fertilizer Control. There has probably been injury to :rops from this same source in other ;ections of the state, and if farmers hink they have this trouble they >hould consult their county agent, ill of whom have been posted about lie matter. Late in June Director H. W. Barre >f the South Carolina Experiment Station attended a potato conference m Long Island to examine tests >f all sources of domestic potash. rrona potash showed marked injury o potato plants, and the conference leveloped the fact that similar trou>le was being experienced in North Carolina with cotton, tobacco and :orn. Similar trouble seems to have >een experienced in several localises along the Atlantic coast. For the guidance of farmers Prof. Jlackwell gives the field symptoms is follows: In the case of cotton and :orn germination is retarded or pre-entecL Soon after plants which do germinate are above ground, they urn white or yellow and die. Tobac:o when transplanted turns light and ioon dies. The roots are found to be mdeveloped and many dead. The rouble is worse where tobacco beds lave been knocked down, as this rings the roots in closer contact vith the poisonous substances. With til crops the trouble is worse on light andy soils than on heavier soils.

I THE SUGAR SITUATION* Government Report Forecasts Re- ; cord Production for Year While retail dealers throughout | he country arc advising consumers hey have difficulty of obtaining1 lormal stocks of sugar, the govern- , uent has forecasts a domestic crop I ar above the average for the last j ix years. The department of agriulture in an estimate based on July i:u , crop conumuns preuicw <x h up ui 1,216,000,000 pounds, or 147.000,000 ounds more than the average of the >receeding six years. The beet sugar forecast this year s higher than the record crop of 915-16 by nearly 75,000 tons, but he cane sugar crop is almost 100,000 -ons below the average of the six rears. The sugar beet crop this year s a record one. In recent years the cane sugar rop usually has been one-fourth of he total and beet sugar produced in Continental United States, but this rear it will be only about one-sev?nth. Smaller acreage and a wet, cool spring are the causes of the smaller :rop. Michigan, Colorado and Utah show big increases in beet sugar prospects. Forecasts show Michigan's crop as 1,158,000 tons, an increase of 257,000 tons; Colorado's 2,024,000 tons, increase of 580,000 and Utah's 1,208,000 tons, increase 205,000 tons.

I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be In the bed and In a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. about my taking CarduL He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble', so he got me 5 bottles... After about the second bottle I felt grectly improved...before taking It my limbs and hands and arms would go to aleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disappeared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bottles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my aiz children besides."
