Farmers Buying Fertilizers.

The Columbia State says that the farm

their vigorous resolutions not to use
fertilizers this year would indicate. It
has been freely predicted since the price

roads had not noted any falling of this
season, but tl'"'c was no way here to
ascertain the exact shipments. There
arc some figures available, however,
that are significant. The State charges
u tax on each ton Of fertilizers shipped
by factories in and out Of the State, and
the tax tags have to be bought by the
companies and affixed before the ship
mcnts can be made. According to the
sale Of these tags the farmers are either
buying far more fertilizers this year than
last, or else the factories have good rca-

CLUB WOMEN OF THE STATE.
THEY WILL MEET IN CONVENTION IN THE
CiTT Or CHARLESTON NEXT MONTH.
INTERESTING CIRCULAR IS ISSUED.
What tho Organization Has Done and Is
Doing-0conee Women.

The Charleston News and Courier
of the 21st instant says that Mrs. Ida
M. Lining, vice president Of the City
Union Of Women's Clubs, has issued
the following interesting circular re-
garding the annual convention of
the South Carolina Federation of
Womcn's Clubs, that is to be held in
Charleston next month:
Along with Eastcrtide, it's sun
shine and flowers, comes the annual
convention of "the South Carolina
Federation of Women's Clubs"
Pending that meeting it may be in
tcresting to the general public to
know something of the history of the
movement and what the clubs are
doing collectively.
If the women of South Carolina
have been somewhat slow in thus
banding themselves for concerted
action, the movement is now fairly
started. The thrill Of newly awak-
cncd life is pulsating from the noun
tains to the scaboard-most truly
from the mOuntains-for the first call
came from the "Oncc-a-Weck Club"
in the little town Of Seneca, June IS,
1898. Sixteen clubs were enrolled
at that time, the number has now
increased to thirty-onc. The first
birthday of the Federation was
spent in Chester last June-bcauti-
ful Chcstcr-with her charming
women and her chivalrous men.
Next month this old city will be
honored by the clubs.
The cry for union once sounded,
the echo will never die; responses
are coming from every quarter of
our State. Women are awakening
to a sense of their individual respon-
sibility, and they realize that the
"greatest good to the greatest num-
Der" can only come through unity of
cause and concerted action, and that

Suicide Near GrcenyilIc.

GREENvILLE, March 20.-This
afternoon Perry Glenn, a rcspccta-
bic farmer, living near Batcsvillc,
committed suicide. For the past
three months nc has giving indica-
tions of insanity with suicidal pro-
clivitics and has been carefully
watched. This afternoon he made a
rush for the door, pushing his wife
out OF the way, and ran toward the
creek which feeds the Batcsvillc mill
pond. His wife fell on the floor, as
he pushed her down and painfully
injured her side. Ills body was
found in the creek by his adopted
son and another boy who were
searching for him.

amount, face value, Of the old bonds.
The holders of old bond will receive
a premium in cash to compensate
them in n measure for sacrifice of
interest which they make. The
cash premium will be computed on
basis of the present worth of the
old bonds at y per cent, and will
be on April 1, the date that the new
2 per cent bonds will bear $105.6S51
for the 3s, Sll1.G7G5 for the As, and
S110.O751 for each 500 of the So.
This exchange will save the Govern
ment, after deducting the premium
paid, nearly S23,0OO,00O, if all the
holders Of the old bonds exchange
them for the new ones. National
banks that take out circulation based
on the new bonds are to be taxed
only one-half of per cent of tho
average amount of circulation out
standing, while those who have
circulation based on deposit of old
bonds will be taxed, as at present, l
per cent. Where heretofore the
minimum capital was $4,000, ma
tional banks with $4,000 capital
may now organize in places of 5000
inhabitants or less. 1t also permits
banks to issue circulation on all
classes of bonds deposited up to the
par value of the bonds, instead of
80 per cent of their face, as hereto
fore. This ought to make an i'm
mediate increase in national bank
circulation of something like $24,-
600, 900, as the amount of bonds now
deposited to secure circulation is
about $242, 100000. If the price of
the new Is is not forced so high in the
market that there is no profit left to
national banks in taking out circula-
ton we may also look for a material
increase in national bank circulation
based on additional deposits of
bonds. National banks are permit
ted under the law to issue circula-
ton up to an amount equal to their
capital. The total capital of all
national banks is $GlG,000,00O.
'Fhc total circulation outstanding
is $253, 100000. There is therefore
a possibility of an incrcose in circu-
lation Of $3G3, 100000, although the
price Of the new , per cent bonds,
as already foreshadowed by market
quotations in advance Of their issue
promises to be 80 high that the pro-
fits to the banks in taking out cir
cula,ion will not be enough to make
the increase anything like posi-
bic total"
Comptroller Dawes, when asked
what his course would be in connec-
ton with requests for national bank
charters under the new law, said:
"ln view of the large number of
applications for charters of small
banks | shall institute special in
Quiry, in addition to the usual exam
ination as authorized by Section
5, 1876 Of the Revised Statutes of the
United States whenever there is the
slightest ground to suspect the cx-
istcncc of improper motives on the
part of those applying for charters
under the national system.
"This course will also be followed
in the case of State banks applying
for leave to convert themselves into
national banks"

BOER AND BRITISH TRAITS.
Comparative Progress OF Two Races OF Peo.
pIe-What Each Has Done.

The Dutch settled Cape Colony
nearly twenty years before the
Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth
| Rock and have been there ever
since. In was in the first year of
the seventeenth century that the
Dutch East Indies company landed
the first party of Dutch farmers in
now what is Cape Colony. So in
this present fateful year the Dutch
are completing the third century Of
their sojourn in South Africa. 1t
was not, however, till 1861 that they
erected fort on the present site Of
Cape Town.-The Sun.
We, are informed and believe upon
the authority of some comic publ
cation whose name we now disre-
member that that the following class
room colloquy once took place be-
wecn school ma'am and New
York boy "Whcn was Philadelphia
founded ?" "In 1882" "What hap
pencd then ?" "Nothing."
The Dutch have had the run of
South Africa for three hundred
years. The visible works of their
genius and their energy are these:
They have founded two States, the
Transvaal Republic and the Orange
Free State. With 10000 square
miles of territory the Transvaal
Republic has white population of
100000. 1t has public revenue Of
about S20,0O0,000, and spends it..
Its people have put only $4,000
acres of its soil under cultivation
less than tenth of per cent of
the total area. 1t does not produce
food enough to support its people.
Its exports, except of gold, are in
considerable.
The Orange Free State has an
area of nearly $4,000 square miles
and white population of less than
100000. The annual revenue of the
State is $2,000,O00 and it's cxpendi-
lures less. About 250,0OO acres Of
its soil are under cultivation. It's
total foreign trade, exports and i'm
ports combined, amounts TO little
over $l5,000,000 annually.
Men of the English race have had
the run of North America not quite
so long as the IIollandcrs have had
the run of South Africa. In 1920
some dissatisfied Englishmcn settled
in Massachusetts. Other English
men had already settled in Virginia.
In numbers and in cash they were a
feeble folk, but they and their de-
scendants and those who came after
them have cleared the country up a
bit. A republic of about 10000
600 people has grown up. These
people do not import much food
stuffs. Sometimes they export l50,~
100000 bushels of wheat in year
they also have other things to sell,
including manufactures, until other
nations now run up a bill of more
than billion dollars every year for
|
their goods. They have tanned a
country Of 100000 square miles,
and they are now, as a favor, taking
care of some outlying districts.
BY they way the Dutch had a
chance to do these things. One Of
them discovered the North river and
this island. They settled here in
Ncw York some years before the
Puritms landed at Plymouth, Mass
They governed this town until the
English took charge Of it in 1864.
Convinced that it was not going to
be much of a place, the Dutchmcn
swappcd it for Dutch Guinea, or
Surnam, down in South Amcrica.-
