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.

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

ited to potash. 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- :

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

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.

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.

of my last child...I got very much
run-down and weakened, so much
that I could hardly do anything at

I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
yrorse all the time...
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."
