SMITH MAKING A REt 4>. Washington Papers ( all Him tastest Speaker In Sena to. Washington, April 25.?Ever since j Senator Ellison Durant Smith, of South Carolina, made his advent into Washington political life last year, lo? cal newspapers have been having i onsiderable fun at his expense. He has been called "Gatiing-gun," "Roll weevil," "Cotton" and "Cyclone" Smith at times, as the occasion seem? ed to demand. The Washington Times, witnessing the terrible dust raised in the senate Saturday, when Mr. Smith began to tolk on the cotton pool, today prints the following story concerning his efforts: ' Senator Smith, of South Carolina, haj? gained a sobriquet. He is call? ed 'Cyclone Smith.' This is because of his cyclonic delivery in debate. He can speak faster than any man in the senate. His tlrst real debate came yesterday, when he attacked the At? torney General because of the 'cotton trust' probe instituted by the depart? ment of justice. The South Carolin? ian is a cotton expert. He knows his I business from the seed in the ground to the fabric on the store shelf. He organized the cotton growers in the movement to hold the staple for bet? ter prices. His fund of cotton knowledge was used to overwhelm the, senate yester? day. For nearly two bours *ne sen? ator spoke and ten relays of steno? graphers were necessary to catch his remarks. Not a note did he use. All the torrent of talk seemed to rise spontaneously and the deluge was complete. "Withal, Senator Smith spoke to good effect for a new senator. He held the attention of more Republi? can senators during his address than many of his older Democratic asso? ciates do when they rise to address the senate. He did more. He bait? ed Senator Aldrich until that leader rose to defend the tariff from the South Carolina onslaught. That was how vigorously the attack was made. Senator Smith is not exactly of th'e tire-eating type, but he borders close? ly on it. It is suggested that a little more senate training will temper him somewhat and that he Is, therefore, destined to become a forceful debat? er." If this keeps up South Carolina will have a regular "catch-em-alive" man in the senate before congress ad? journs. Wonder why the Express Company does not have call cards for the mer? chants here as Is done In other towns. The Chamber of Commerce might take this matter up. In a town this size it d.Q?9 look like the Express Company would call for packages to bo sent off. It Is done In much small? er to.vns than this. Summerton News Letter. Summerton, April 25.?To allow any correspondence to oe communi? cated to the newspaper just now without having Included therein sum- mention of the rapidity with which automobile sales arc being made In Summerton would bo an un pardonablc oversight, and indeed one not likely to be made by any one pos? sessed of Ight and hearing, Scarce? ly lour weeks ago the first automo? bile to 1 e bought by a resident of Summcrton was purchased by Mr. C. M. Davis. Tin re are now six in town, and apparently authoritative reports', of two to bo brought down next week. Two agencies have been instituted, one represented by Davis & Rlchbourg for the Ford and Reo machines, and the other by James & McClary for the E. M. F. and Max? well cars. So far, the advent of this popular mode of conveyance has caused no serious accidents in the Community; the horses are fast culti? vating a friendship for their more highly civilized co-workers! The may? or and councilmen are on the alert for those drivers who exceed the speed limit within the town, and only last week one of our Sumter friends most unwisely took advantage of our excellent Main street and put on j considerable speed only to be haled by the policeman with a call for five dollars. Automobile owners and likewise other residents of this community will welcome the improvement being put upon the road just out of town at Taw-Caw branch. The county chaingang is already at work upon a cause-way there. This will be work well spent, and promises to be a splendid job. The baseball team of the Summer ton graded and high school has been i practicing for some weeks past, and is getting in readiness for some match games at an early date. It was j thought that an engagement had j j been had been made for a series of games with Orangeburg this week; ! this, however, seems to have been a j I mistake. The enthusiasts might havo to wait a little but in the end they will be given good work. Summer- j j ton has always stood high in the class i I of l>ase ball players. S The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. ! L. E. Brallsford will be grieved to learn of the death of their youngest ( boy, who died on Saturday afternoon. I The child was thirteen months old, I and had been quite sick for about two I weeks. Funeral services wrere held at St. Mark's church, Clarendon, on Sunday, conducted by the Rev, Jpo, j Kershaw. Jr., and the interment took ' place at the family burial ground at that place. 1 Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Anderson and children are spending a few days at 1 the Argyle in Charleston. Messrs. Jake Weinberg and F. B. Burgess, of Manning, spent a few hours in town on Friday. Mrs. G. M. Belser, of Columbia, pHid a short visit to her son, Mr. R. H. Bel8er, at "Woodside" recently. Capt. W. C. Davis, of Manning, was in town one day last week. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Plow den ?pent \ Sunday at Durant's. Lime For Peanuts. I The best peanut soils in the South are deficient in the mineral matters especially needed by peanuts, phos? phoric acid and potash. The peanut plant, being a legume, can get its nit? rogen from the air, and when the mineral elements are abundantly supplied, needs no application of nit? rogen in the fertilizer. This is espe? cially true when a good rotation of crops is practiced and the soil is sup? plied with humus-making materials from cowpeas and crimson clover. Lime is useful to peanuts solely be? cause it releases insoluble potash in the soil, and this being already de? ficient in the best peanut soils, the effect of lime in the long run is to deplete the soil of potash. Where the plants can get abundant supplies of phosphoric acid and potash, lime is not needed, except as the soil gets into an acid condition. Plaster will also release potash, and as there is 30 pounds of plaster or sulphate of lime in every 100 pounds of acid phos? phate, a heavy application of acid phosphate will do as much for the release of potash as an application of plaster. Lime will be useful In soil that has a large amount of humus ' and has gotten into an acid condition, but pops are not the result of the lack of lime, but of the lack of phos? phoric acid and potash which are es? sential to the formation of the seed. If the land Is acid it must be sweet tened, for the bacteria that enable the peanuts to get nitrogen from the air will not thrive in an acid soli. If one will get a piece of blue litmus paper from a drug store, and mix some of his soil to a loblolly with wa , ter, and place the paper in it for a i while, and finds that it turns pink In , color, lime will do good. To apply I lime, plow the land well and spread the lime at rate of 25 bushels per acre and harrow it in. Then use on I the peanuts 400 to 500 pounds of acid phosphate. "Without lime you can use the same amount of basic slag or Thomas phosphate, which carries about 40 pounds of lime in every 100 pounds, and I believe that this will be as well, or better, for the nuts than liming and acid phosphate. This will be cheaper than buying lime, for the price of the Thomas phosphate is regulated by the percentage of phos? phoric acid, and you can get the lime pratically free.?Progressive Farmer An immigration agent has been at work in Sumter and carried off some of our negroes to Florida to work in the turpentine fields. He left with some Saturday. He was here last week. There seems to be no prosecu I tion for this offense so long as he does not bother the farm hands. If he would take off some more of the va? grant crap shooters the town would be better off. The city board of assessors have succeeded In raising the taxable property in the city about $200,000. This with the increase returned by the taxpayers themselves will make the increase in this township over a half million dollars. DRESS WELL!
