Composition of Soils.

Missouri Station Bulletin: The soil
is mixture of fine and coarse material
mixed with a greater or smaller
amount of organic humus-like sub
stance, holding a variable but large
quantity of moisture in its composition.
The percentage of this organic mat
ter is usually low, amounting in our
soils rarely to more than ten in hum
dred, being more frequently only four
to five The water reaches a higher
figure, and though is per cent of it in
a soil will support ripening crop,
double the amount is preferable in the
early season and more for a limited
time advantageous rather than other
wise. The nitrogen, through the ac-
emulation of ages, is but fraction of
one per cent and the average compos-
ition of our soils during the summer
season as follows:
per cent organic matter.
OIL per cent nitrogen.
20 per cent water.
1853 per cent mineral matter.
The mineral matter is the matter
mated the soil modified, as suggested,
by the action of weather and the
growth of plants. 1t consists of par
ticles of quartz sand, feldspar, mica,
and a variety Of mineral species, cas-
lily recognized under the microscope,
and, in addition, of clay, soluble sill
lea, simple and double hydrous sill
Gates, the result of the alteration of
soil and the addition to it of the ash
constituents of the plants that grew
upon it. These latter, the hydrous
double silicates. are of the utmost i'm
portance to the fertility of a soil as in
them really resides the power of hold
ing and storing up for future use the
substances for the lack of which a soil
is wholly sterile. In all discussions
OF agricultural problems relating to
mineral fertilizers but three sub
stances need to be considered. potash.
phosphoric acid and available nitrogen.
The large quantities of potash and
phosphoric acid in our soils are there
fore of value: but insoluble at present
to a large extent their value is hy-
pothecated to the future. By their
gradual conversion through atmos-
pheric and other agencies of insoluble
into soluble compounds they furnish
a steady though limited supply of plant
food for a moderate crop, but the de-
mands of modern agriculture for large
and salable annual harvests sufficient
to yield a satisfactory return over and
above their cost of production is not
responded to. True, improved meth
DDS of cultivation will insure better
returns, but only up to a certain point
beyond which artificial, i. e., mineral
fertilizers, become a necessity. The
readily available plant food, the ac-
emulation of centuries, has been
g0aned by our forefathers of their
fertile acres; to us the choice is left q,
having time unlock similar TREASURES
yet in our soil and in the meantime
quit harvesting, or to supply the de.
ficiencies by becoming buyers with the
certainty of becoming to a much larger
extent sellers of our products.

Owing to the narrowness of the pas
sage the ships can only come out one
at time, aud they will have to come
out bow foremost. They will be at a
disadvantage in that they can only use
their bow guns. 1t is claimed that a
couple of American monitors or bat
tleships on guard outside, can sink the
whole feet before it can get into the
open sea. Instead of only couple of
monitors, however, it is believed that
the entire fleets of Sampson and Schley
are on guard.
Although the news of the situation
Of Cervera comes in such a way as to
leave but little doubt of its correctness,
there are those who fear that the willy
Spaniard has hoodwinked the Amer
leans and that he is now of for mis-.
chief at some other point. If, how
ever, the Spaniards are really bottled
up in Santiago, it would seem that the
war is drawing pretty nearly to a
close. Full and positive confirmation
of the news may come at any hour,
or it may not come for days.

WHERE is CERVERA.
Generally Believed That He Is Bottled
Up In Santiago Harbor.

Generally Believed That He Is Bottled
Up In Santiago Harbor.
For the past week the belief has
been growing throughout the country
that Admiral Cervera has been bottled
up in Santiago harbor since last Sun
day, and the Associated Press dis
patches published Friday morning,
gaveno information to the contrary.
The story is that Cervera entered the
harbor of Santiago on the previous
Thursday night with the armored
cruisers Vizcaya, Almirante Oquendo,
Cristobal Colon, and Infanta Maria
Teresa, and the torpedo boat Destroy
ers Furor and Pluton. The infor-
nation was first secured by Ameri-
can scout boats and telegraphed
to Washington. These circum-
stances may look suspicious, but
at about the same time news to the
same effect was given out at Mad
rid. Schley and Sampson left Key
West some time last week. Just where
they were going was not given out.
1t was supposed that Sampson would
go around the west end of Cuba, and
Schley would 60 around the east end.
The next information was story to
the effect that on Sunday Schley was
at the entrance to the harbor of San
tiago, and that the Spanish fleet was
inside.
The navy department believes that
the Spanish fleet is bottled up. Secre-
tary Long has stated positively that
such Is his belief, and he has also
stated that he has received telegram
in which Schley says he believes the
same thing.
A full description of the harbor Of
Santiago appears elsewhere in this
issue. On both sides of the entrance
to the harbor are high bluffs. The
bay beyond is obscured and there is
no way to tell from the sea whether or
not the Spanish fleet is really inside.
1t is possible that if they have ever
been in the harbor at all, they may
have escaped. No positive statement
has been made from any official source
to the effect that the ships are really
in the harbor. 1t is only said that the
officials, from the president down, be-
lieve such to be the case.
If Cervera is really in the harbor of
Santiago, the general opinion among
naval officers and other well informed
persons, is that he is done for. There
has been talk of reducing the fortifica
tions on either side of the entrance to
the harbor and going in after the
Spaniards as did Dewey at Manila.
The entrance TO the harbor is mined
but the dynamite cruiser Versuvius
can easily clear safe passage. How
ever, it is not likely that any such
plan will be attempted. If the Span
iards are really there they are as safe
as a spider in q well-corked bottle.

OFF TO THE WAR.

TT may be owing to the fact that war is
i upon us, and that our certificates con-
tain no restrictions or forfeitures on ac-
count ofwar or riots, that the CAROLINA
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION has
within the past few months made such
wonderful strides. Perhaps one Of the
most important and interesting of all the
new enterprises that have made this year
memorable is the CAROLINA BENEV-
OLENT ASSOCIATION. This Associ-
alton promises lasting advantages to the
people, and insures positive benefits to
the state. Its mission is to disseminate
Life Insurance throughout the counties Of
this State, and to provide means Of pro-
lection at home. Thus thrift will be pro-
NOTED, the habit of saving will be fostered
and many families will have provision
to come, when the head of the family and
the chief bread-winner will be taken
from the household. 1t will also keep at
home and save the state hundreds and
thousands of dollars, which now go to
enrich our sister States. The distinctive
features Of the CAROLINA BENEVO-
LENT ASSOCIATION are:
First-That it is purely mutual and
cooperative company, and collects from
the policyholderS no more than is abso-
lutely necessary to carry out the protec-
1--WE purposes Ol CQ6 dSSOCldIlOU.
Second-It is the only company that
confines its liability to local territorial re-
strictions.
Third-It is the only company that has
its accounts audited monthly by an out
side board of auditors at the end Of every
month, and publishes the result for the
information of its policyholders.
Fourth-It is the only fraternal, benev-
olent and cooperative plan Of insurance
that offers its policyholders cash sur
render value at stated ages.
Fifth-It is the only such company
that offers its policyholders an indemni-
ty against death, accident and old age in
one and the same policy. 1t unites cheap
ness with security and absolute safety.
1t issues but one policy and pays 81 900 in
the event of death, $500 in case OF loss Of
one hand or foot or both eyes, and offers
a cash surrender value of $3.50 at the age
of IS and $500 at the age Of Is. This GER
tificate is issued at the nominal sum Of
$3.50 between the ages II and Sc. All ben
fit assessments are graduated according
to the age of the policyholder.

ANOTHER CALL.
The President Wants Seventy-fve Thou
sand More Troops.

The President Wants Seventy-fve Thou
sand More Troops.
The president, on last Wednesday,
issued the following:
By the President of the United States
"A Proclamation.
Whereas an act Of congress was ap-
proved on the 25th day of April, 1898,
entitled can act declaring that war ex-
lists between the United States of
America and the kingdom of Spain"
and whereas by an act of congress en-
titled can act to provide for Temporal
rily increasing the military establish
ment of the United States in time of
war, and for other purposes, approved
April %, 1898, the president is au-
thoriZed, in order to raise volunteer
army, to issue his proclamation calling
for volunteers to serve in the army Of
the United States:
Now, therefore, I, William McKin-
ley, president Of the United States, by
virtue Of the power vested in me by
legislation and the laws, deeming suf-
fcient occasion to exist, have thought
fit to call forth, and do call forth, vol
unteers to the aggregate number of
$4,000, in addition to the volunteers
called forth by my proclamation of the
23rd April; in the present year, the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-05-28
THE SECOND CALL.

It Is Not Restricted to Organized Militia
But Includes Everybody.
The most sensational development
of Wednesday was the presidents call
for $4,000 additional volunteers. The
matter had been under consideration
for week or more; but nothing de-
finite was decided upon until within
the past few days.
Upon the publication of the call it
was suggested in various quarters that
it was made on account of the alleged
threatening attitude of France and
other European countries which do
not seem to be satisfied with the way
things are proceeding; but the war
department has taken occasion to quiet
all speculation along this line.
The latest plan of operations con-
template the sending of at least l00,-
900 troops to Cuba. 1t is calculated
that not less than $4,000 will be need
ed in Porto Rico, and probably $4,000
in the Philippines. These plans dis
pose of 100000 troops, and including
all the balance, there would be only
5000 left for other possible emergen-
cies. 1t was thought best to provide
against contingencies by calling out
$4,000 more and raising the entire
army up to 100000 men.
Under the first call only organized
militia or national guardsmen were
wanted but the understanding is that
this time the call is on an entirely diff
ferent basis. 1t will be open to all
who desire to enlist, whether civilians
or militia, and will leave open the way
for the organization of companies by
individuals wherever anybody cares to
undertake such organization.
As yet the quotas of the several
states have not been worked out. 1t
is understood, however, that each state
will be called upon to furnish troops
in proportion to population, and the
quota of South Carolina will probably
be in the neighborhood of 500 men.
The new call embraces rs regiments,
and with three regiments to the brig
ade, means the appointment of 25
more brigadiers and three more major
generals. 1t is said that there will be
no hurry about perfecting the organ
ization of the troops just called ; but
that they will be gotten into shape and
well seasoned by the time they are
needed for service.

MERE.MENTION.

General Shafter has ordered all CORES
pondents to furnish him with copies of
their papers, and the understanding is
that papers which print anything that
should not be printed, will not be allow

at Chickamauga on Wednesday. INIT
was announced at the navy department
on Wednesday that the Oregon would be

Catawbas Ahead.
The Columbia Record is offering $50
United States flag to the most popular
volunteer company, the question of popu-
larity being determined by a vote on cou-
pons published in the paper daily. The
contest is to close June %. The Catawba
Rifles, of Rock Hill, is now leading the
list with LOSS votes. Next comes the
Darlington Guards with 955.
Municipal Election.
Don't forget the municipal election to-
day Saturday. Since those reported,
THE ENQUIRER has heard no further in
timations of probable opposition to the
ticket recently nominated in the court
house but this is matter on which II IS
not safe to take chances. Every citizen
should hunt up his registration certificate,
and tomorrow, between the hours OF
and 5, turn out and vote. The ticket
nominated in the court house is as fol-
lows: For intendant, w. r. Carroll; Tor
wardens, G. H. OLeary, John NJ. Hope,
C. G.. Parish and S. A. McElwee.
The Potato Bug.
The potato bug has been doing big
business in this section for the past few
weeks, and last week he had picnic.
There was no Paris Green in town for
several days. Messrs. Grist Cousins got
a supply of the poison Saturday and DR..
Kuykendal also got a new supply. Since
then the chances of the potatoes have i'm
proved as nothing else seems to have such
a desirable effect on them as steady diet
of Paris Green. The reporter has heard
it stated several times recently that II
potatoes are well covered with straw or
leaves, the bugs will not trouble them
but is hardly warranted in repeating this
as a fact unless it should be backed by
some reliable grower who has had exper-
ience.
