LEVERS -POTASH ' AMENDMENT. Praise for Congressman's Efforts To? ward* Locating American Deposits. Washington, Feb. 22.?That the amendment put OB the Agricultural appropriation bill whan it was under Consideration by Representative Lev? er for the exploration and investiga? tion to d< termini ? possible source ol supply of potash, nitrates and other natural fertilizers within the United1 States, Is regarded as the beginning of an undertaking of vast Importance to the farmers of the nation, is shown by the favorable way in which this matter has been received by the agri? cultural scientists of the country. He has received a strong letter from Secretary Wilson 08 the subject. Mr. I,e\er himself beii \>s it to be one of the most Important undertakings ever put on foot by the department of agriculture. In arguing for his amendment, he sot out clearly and oaclsely the facts thut the entire sec? tion of country which he In part rep? resents Is at the absolute mercy of a gnat German syndicate for Its sup? ply of potash?one of the necessary ingredients of a complete fertiliser. It was shown that this country con? sumes eight million dollars worth a Pi ar and It Is of interest to ROOW that of this amount at least ninety per cent Is consumed in the South and accord? ing to a statement of Praf. Harper of Clemson College about one million four hundred and forty thousand dol? lars nie expended for potash In South Carolina, while Commissioner Wat? son m ik- s the expense to South Carolina for this fertilizer Ingredient I slightly more than this. The freight from the German mines to this coun? try amounts to about five d -liars a ton and this itself, it Is urged by the men Interested in the outcome of the investigation author? ized in this amendment, is a consid? erable item that may be saved if pot? ash deposits are discovered in this country. Secretary Wilson's letter Is as fol? lows: "I have read with much pleasure the amendment, which you had add? ed to the appropriation bill of this department, while under consideration In the House on last Friday, provid? ing $12,500 for exploration and In? vestigation within the United States to determine a possible source of supply Of potash, nltartes, and other natural fertilizers. Your remarks in sup? port of your amendment, while brief,, were both Illuminating and convinc? ing, and I wish to compliment you not only upon the foresight you have displayed regarding the* rapidly ap? proaching need for fertilizing sub stum SS ?ver the vast agric ultural areas of OUT country, but also upon your loyalty to the American people, as evidenced by your desire to exhaust i v? ry means before relinquishing your efforts to supply this need from with? in the United States Instead of through the patronage of foreign source of supply. In securing the adoption of this amendment you have accomplish? ed sc met hing that will be of natural benefit and will therefore undoubted? ly redound to your great personal l i ' (lit. "I also wish to take this opportunity to extend my personal thanks to you for the Interest you have Uniformly displayed in all matters pertaining to agriculture not only in the great State .vhlch you ?> ably represent, but in all other sections of the coun? try a* well.

Death at Hnrmvcll. Barawell, Fob, ?1.?Jamei Wil? liams of SuiultT, a young negro train hand, was almost instantly killed at tin- Atlantic Coast Lane depot here this morning by a shifting freight en? gine. Williams, who was n<w at the work, this, it is said, having been his hrst run. was attempting to couple tWO freight ears together, when his toot was struck by one of the wheels ami his body thrown under the mov? ing oar. He was horribly mangled, the wheels passing I ntlrely over his body, crushing him terribly about the Stomach and legs and breaking his jaw bone. II?' lived only about two minutes after the accident. The cor? oner's jury exonerated the railroad company and the train crew <>f all re? sponsibility for his death. Williams' body was shipped to his relatives In Bumter on the afternoon train. In the Police Court. There were only three cases tried la the Recorder's Court on Wednesday, one of these taking up the greater part of the noon hour. Willie Bowman plead I uilty to the charge of discharging firearms in the city limits ami was fined $10 for the offense. The next case up was that against B, J). Garner, the <?? lored man who bought stolen chickens from several small white boys some time ago, for buying stolen t hickens. This case consumed considerable time, especial? ly in waiting for the defendant to come, Mr. H. C. llaynsworth repre? sented Garmr in the case. It was testitied that the chickens were sold to darner about 1? p. m. on February 11th. The attorney for the defense asked that the case be dropped as no evidence wan shown on the part of the State that the defendant knew that the chickens were stolen. The I Recorder overruled the moth n and further evidence brought out y the defense was that Garner always had a good reputation and that he had engaged to take the chit kens prior to the buying of them. When all the evidence was in and Mr. llaynsworth had made his argu? ment the Recorder stated that he would dismiss the case owing to the defendant's previous good reputation, which was testified to by the police. Garner was warned, however, about receiving chickens or anything else In the future, when they were brought to him at night without first finding out where they came from and why they were being sold. On this point he was very positive, stating, "Taint no use talking 'bout sellin no chick? ens to me no mo\ I alnt go buy none." The case against R. B. Phillips, the other negro who bought the chick? ens, 'was transferred to the magis? trate's court. There were only two cases tried In the police court Thursday morning by the Recorder and these were heard.In record time. Johnny Belcher was charged with violation of the hack ordinance and plead guilty. He was give a choice of I") or 10 days. Wilton Wallace was lined $10 for discharging Ore arms in the city limits with a warning that he must not do any more shooting around town. DROWNED IN WATER DUCKET.
