Till! ITEM S BIRTHDAY.
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.

Very little wheat will be sown

prefer to risk cotton for everything.

It did not amount to a row of beans.

Weather and Crop Summary.
For the week ending at 12 Noon,
Wednesday, October 27, 1915.
Tho cool weather and abundant
rains of the tlrst of the week were fol?
lowed by warm, dry weather toward
the dose. The ground is now in line
condition for seeding, and fall and
winter crops responded materially to

another large wheat acreage.

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.
