A Sumter Boy Winning Fame in New York. Vivian Moses has so far made good in literary work that he has lately crossed the Rubicon of writers by giv? ing up his salaried position, the edi? torship of the People's Magazine, and devoting himself wholly to free-lance writing. He now finds that he has a ready market at good prices for ev? erything he can turn out?and he is hardly out of his twenties yet. Wherefore his friends of Sumter and Columbia are with reason telling each other "I told you so." Vivian Mordaunt Moses showed rare talent for story-telling and criticism even in his boyhood days at Sumter and when he came here as a student at the Uni? versity of South Carolina these talents developed rapidly. Before he left the university they were acknowledged by all who knew him and had already begun to command cash recognition from the magazines. After his academic course was fin? ished Mr. Moses took up the work of the law school; but the fascination of authorship grew upon him and finally the editors \continuing to accept his manuscripts/ he put away his new at? torney's shingle for good, and left for New York. Experience he wanted?and that he was not denied. Before his pen found itself, he held a half dozen more or less arduous positions, all of which he filled well, but which were taken mainly for the certainty they brought of money for board bills. Finally he gained the comparatively easy berth of editor of the People's. Relieved by its comfortable salary of all mis? givings about living expense, and al? lowed a fair amount of leisure, he buckled down to his typewriter in the evenings and turned out phenomenal quantities of original matter, with the result that recently, upon sizing up the situation, he found his reputation as author and dramatic critic so well established that he could safely re? linquish his editorial salary and with confidence depend for support upon the checks his stories would bring from the publishers. Mr. Moses was married last sum? mer to a charming girl, who Is both wife and comrade, and they have a delightful little hoi a In the Croton hills, above New York city. His last visit to Columbia was in the fall of 1907. ' Several articles of his are to be found in current issues of the maga? zines, and Munsey's for February con? tained a singularly dainty and deli? cate sonnet on music.?McDavid Hor? ton in Columbia Record. CUTS IN FERTILIZER PRICKS. Farmers Are Said to he Doing Much Of Their Own Mixing on the Far in This Year. "Never in the history of the fertili? zer business in the Carolinas an<1 Georgia have rebates on the original ; prices of fertilizers been granted as , has this season been done," said r . business man yesterday. "Usually the fertilizer companies make a contract with a dealer for c . certain number of tons of fertilizer al , a certain price, the contracts, how? ever, providing that if the buyer Is able to obtain the same goods at ? I lower price than he has agreed tf pay, then the fertilizer company wil , cut their prices to a level with th< i price offered the buyer, or cancel tht . contract. "Heretofore the cuts in this Statt l and Georgia and North Carolina wen t g enerally only about $1 to $1.50 pel t ton. but this season finds the fertilizei companies cutting their origiP? 1 rices quite freely, some of them giv j Ing rebates of from $2 to $3 per tun ' This is accounted for by the num? ber of farmers who are this year buy Ing the raw materials and mixim their own fertilizers. Th*y find 1 cheaper to buy kainit, nl'rat* of soda manure salts, sulphate of ammor.: and cotton-seed meal and do the mix? ing at home than to buy the read\ k mixed goods from the dealers. Thai the farmers are doing their own mix ' Ing is evident from the fact that cot ? ton-seed meal Is partieuarly scare, now, which Is very unusual at thfs season of the year."?The State.
