Serve* Ppbllc for Common (?ood, Suys N orkt lllc Enquirer. It gives us pleasure to note the 21st birthday of the Sumter Item, which event was celebrated l>y that paper last week with a creditable special edition. We have known the Item from Its birth and for a number of years past have regarded It as one of the most truly Journalistic dally news? papers In the State. It came Into be? ing not to serve any sclllsh interest of personal design; but rather to servo the public from the standpoint of the common good, and it has remained true to Its mission from the begin? ning. It Is edtt? d and controlled by Its publishers, and so far as we know, has never bowed the knee to sinister Influences of any kind. It is what it is by virtue of its own character and ability, rather than by special favor from any source, and is a credit to its publishers as well as the town in which it is published.

The crops are being rapidly hous? ed and oat planting will soon com? mence If the hUh price cotton seed and cotton don't knock the business out. Very little wheat will be sown through this section. Some people prefer to risk cotton for everything. Our mall carrier has bought a ear and rapidly gets around on his route. Letters go off the same day he takes them up, which Is a day curlier. This Is a great convenience It should be a matter of rejt lein? that v. mnan's suf? frage was ho overwhelmingly defeat? ed In New Jersey.

CONSERVE POTASH MATERIALS. Chemist of Clcmson College Urges Farmers to Save Animal Manures and Ashes. Clemson College, Oct. 25.?There has been an extreme shortage in pot? ash in South Carolina this year, as everybody knows, and agriculture has shown the effects of it. If farmers wish to be prepared next year to pre? vent a repetition of such conditions, they must conserve those materials on the farm which contain potash in considerable quantities. The princi? pal things are animal manures, wood ashes and waste organic matter. The material should be saved unleached and farmers should, therefore, take special care of their manure this year. The chemist of the South Carolina experiment station advices farmers as follows on this subject: 1. Unleached animal manures con? tain about 0.4 per cent soluble pot? ash. A ton contains as much soluble potash as 200 pounds of an 8-4-4 fer? tilizer, or as much as 400 pounds of a 9-2-2. Let manure accumulate in dry stalls plentifully supplied with litter, the mass being packed by the tramping of the animal. Apply this manure to cot tr-> land !n tt Irlll In -g r*na!l nordl cations is one ten per acre, when land Is "laid oil" before ridging. Corn is only slightly affected by city of i otash, exc< pt on muck soils. I, Save all ashes in an rnieacneu condition. They contain both potash and lime. Do not mix with acid, sul? phate of ammonia or manure. Un? leached hardwood ashes contain one half as much potash as does kainit. Pine ashes contain less than 3 per cent. 3. Incorporate with the soil all waste organic manure. It contains much potash. No Dispensary, No Drunkenness. Mr. Editor. Please allow me space to draw the attention of the public to a significant fact. On last Saturday th flay of the circus, it was estimated that there was over 20,000 people in the city. Nec? essarily the authorities had to increase the police force to care for, or man? age, this unusual crowd. The police did their duty, still, had but little to do, for I am told that there were but two arrests made during the entire day. I think this speaks volumes for Sumter. No dispensary, no drunkenness, no drunkenness, a well behaved crowd. 20,000 persons in for a good time; 2 arrests. Surely prohibition does pro? hibit. Bcnj. P. Cuttino. COUSIN TO MRS. (JALT DEAD. Grnnd NlOCO of Dolly Madison Passes Away at 82. Bristol, Va-Tonn., Oct. 27.?Mrs. Charlott Payne Winston, a cousin of Mrs. Norman Galt, and a grand niece of Dolly Madison, died here today at the age of eighty-five. She was a great granddaughter of Alexander Spottswood, colonial governor of Vir? ginia. Baralong Case Dropped. Washington, Oct. 28.?The United States will take no action on the charges that the crew of a British submarine were murdered by the Bar along. As the Baralong lowered the United States ilag before firing, there is no basis for protest. Geo H. Hurst, U nderfgXer and Ewbi I flier. Prompt Attention to Day or Night Calls'. AT J. 0.
