ACID is DRIVING THE
FISH TO THE GULF
Finny Tribe is Going Away
Fast
OPINION OF LOCAL FISHERMEN
Tint Acids Used in Making Fertilizer
Has the Effect of Driving Fish
From the Streams Here
in Numbers.
OPINION OF LOCAL FISHERMEN

Americas fishermen, able disciples
of Isaac Walton, are at the front with
a brand new theory to account for
the scarcity of fish in the many
streams of this section. Not one but
dozens of pole-wielders, veterans all,
hold to this new belief
The acids used in the manufacture
of commercial fertilizers is depicting
the streams of fish.
None but an experienced artist and
close student of nature could have
arrived at this conclusion, and as
the average fisherman is a philoso-
pher, and little else, he must be
right
People who have noticed the fish
were rapidly growing scarcer here,
and harder to catch, attributed the
depletion in their number to the hor-
des of black fishermen who sit and
sleep on the banks of Muckalee 3G5
days in each year.
The Muckalee catfish, like an oily
Georgia politician, is hard to hem up
in a corner and can dodge the colored
brothers hook like a politician dod-
ges the truth
Both are Shiny and hard to hold
when you think you've got him.
But the fish are disappearing from
the streams of Sumter and other
counties hereabout, and their disap-
pearance cannot be charged to the
negro fisherman, or to the fishfry.
The subject was under discussion at
one of the Americas warehouses yes
terday where twenty-nine citizens sat
waiting for something to turn up, and
the concensus of opinion among these
nature fakirs was that acid phosphate
was killing the fishes.
Acid is used in enormous quantities
as a fertilizer and during the spring
and summer it is washed from the
cotton fields down to the creeks and
rivers. Fish cannot live in waters
thus infected, and they are leaving
here in vast numbers.
The subject is one for serious con-
sideration, and should be referred to
the Agricultural Department for in
vestigation and report

EYES OF COUNTRY
ARE ON THE SOUTH
Says a Columbus Business Man
Who Is Observant.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Aug. PA. c..
Chancellor, a prominent Columbus
business man just home from the
North, says that the eyes of the whole
country are on the South, and that the
great progress being made by this
section as never before.
He found financiers and leading bust
ness men in New York thoroughly
posted as to what the South is do
ing and says this section commands
the respect and friendship of the
financial interests there.
While there is a stringency in mon
ey matters in Wall street, Mr.. Chancel-
lor says deserving business enterpris-
es South which need financial assis-
lance can readily get it in New York.
AS a matter of fact, he says that the
South is getting nearer financial in
dependence every year.
The South he says, is becoming less
and less dependent ON the North and
East in this respect.
