Columbia, July lG.-4Congrcssmm
Lever who was here today on his
way home from Bishopvillc, talked in
an interesting way I" your corrcspon-
dent about the now soil surveys be-
ing made in his district by The new
ly created division Of utilization of
soil. The experiments arc bcin" made
by Prof. Frank Bennett and three
other experts. rhc quartet working in
two squads.
I1crctorurc these surveys have been
limited to find the type Of the soil
in scattered sections of the state and
issuing bulletins on this information
with maps. Now not only the type
Of the soil is being determined, but the
crop best adapted /" the various typ
cs is discovered to the farmer by act
ual experiment and the fertilizer
that can be best and most cconomi-
cally used is also determined.
"ln Lee county we have already
discovered twelve distinct types Of
soil,' said MIR. Lever. "With this
information we will make map Of
the county pointing out where the
soils lie, and we will conduct so to
70 farms Of Il few acres each to de-
monStratc the fertilizer and crop it
will be best to use.
81 told the Marlboro farmers, who
arp urin.r | In0 no,nI,, oc ,,,nn,oro;,l
fertilizer to the acre, that | believed
that this state, which spends $5,000,-
200 year for commercial fertilizer.
more than any other state in the Un-
ion uses, is wasting a third of this
ferilliZcr by using too much, and a
third more by shallow plowing.
"ln my opinion the south has suf-
Tered more from politicians talking
dcmagogcry and pcssimism than from
all other sources. The farmer wants
to get the idea in his head that he has
got to work hard and intelligently and
with faith and confidence. The
Southern Farmer has untold riches
IN his grasp it he will but get down
to work and quit growing about his
down-troddcn conLition.'
Mr.. Lever and The experts have or
ganizcd an Improvement association
among the Lee county farmers, and
will organize similarly throughout his
district. Next September or Octob-
cr, when the crops arc "laid by" he
will have representatives Of all the
principal divisions Of the agriculture
al department come to the state and
lecture TO country meetings held in
the picnic style.
Speaking Of the drug farm in Flor
ence county, which the government is
conducting in Congressman Ellerbc 5
district, Mr.. Lever said:
"lt has been demonstrated by ac-
tual experiment that $713 an acre can
be cleared on degitalis and bellcdon-
M in that soil. This government i'm
ports $lG.000.000 worth Of the lrun
plants that are being successfully
raised in Florence. and the nvesti~a-
tons already made show that all that
this country demands can be grown
right here in South Carolina."

PAY TRIBUTE TO
DEAD PATROLMAN
POLICE AND SOLDIERS FORM
ESCORT
Policeman May, Who Was Murdered
by a Burglar While on Duty, ls
Buried with Military
Honors

With DOTTED helmets and bowed heads
one hundred and fifty men stood at.at-
tention beside an open grave in Ever
green cemetery yesterday afternoon
and watched a coffin bearing the re-
mains Of their former friend and COM
rade being laid in dts last resting
place. These men were members OF
the Los Angeles police department and
they were paying last tribute to q
brother officer, Patrolman Clyde =.
May, the officer who was shot by Will
liam Ross. the burglar, February 3.
The escort was under charge of Lieut..
Lenhausen of the University SUBJ
station. 1t was composed of thirty-six
officers in fun dress and eighty-seven
In fatigue uniform.
Thirty members of Roosevelt post,
United Spanish War Veterans, of which
May was a member, were also in line,
while the G.. A. r. fife and drum corps
led the escort.
Services were held at Pierce Bros
undertaking establishment at 2 o'clock
and were attended by hundreds OF
friends of the young patrolman. Conn
rades who had served with him in the
army during long marches and fights
in the Philippines gathered once more
for the purpose of bidding last fare
well to the former soldier boy, while
patrolmen from all parts Of the city
were excused from their beats for
time sufficient to allow them to pay
brief tribute to the only officer who
was ever murdered while doing his duty
In Los Angeles.
Salute Fired
At the grave the services were brief,
soldiers and policemen standing by
while short prayer was said. A sa-
lutte was then fired by the members of
the firing squad of Roosevelt post while
taps were sounded for the dead soldier.
Patrolman May was shot in fight
with William Ross, a burglar, while
doing plain clothes work on San Pedro
and West Adams streets a month ago.
Ross was instantly killed by William
Hoover, a patrolman who was with
May at the time. The bullet which
struck the officer entered at his left
lung and for some time it was thought
Mays life would be saved. Last Tues
day he suffered a relapse and died soon
afterward.
May is the only patrolman who has
been murdered while on duty In Los
Angeles since the city was incorpor-
ated.
The dead officer was married but a
few weeks before his death. His young
wife is prostrated by grief.

PASTOR breaches
TO YOUNG WOMEN

Rev. Arthur S. Phelps, pastor of the
Central Baptist church; preached a
special sermon to the members of the
Philathea class of young women last
night, who occupied reserved seats.
Rev. Mr.. Phelps took for his subject
the story of the woman who lost one
of her ten pieces Of silver. He said in
part:
"Women'S head dresses in those days
were made of silver coins, which, as
the times were hard, were very pre-
cious to them. admit that not all is
precious metal that glitters. When the
fiancee said to her most intimate friend,
Yes, Percy placed it on my finger last
night, isn't 1t beauty?' her friend
answered.: Yes, but in about a fort
night you'll find it will make a funny
black mark on your finger. 1t did on
mine This coin which the woman
sought to find was lost out of a group.
What is more interesting than to fol-
low the meanderings OF silver quar-
ter across the country? To follow the
course Of the young women who have
come to Los Angeles and Joined this
group. Differing from some members
of the gentler sex, she was practical
in money matters, and it had been a
struggle to gather these coins, and the
loss of even one brought pain. Per-
hapS her own carelessneSs In handling
the money had been responsible for
its loss, but it had not been gone long
before the diligent search began.
You can tell the difference between
woman who sweeps the house be-
cause it's Friday and q woman who is
after something. This is as true of
Christian work. What had she lost?
mere disk of silver? No, money is
an opportunity. Every coin Of the
realm is a chance in metal. She sweeps
until she finds it. Perhaps a neighbor
asks: Aren't you going to stop now?'
No, there's another ROOM Well, now
you have done all the rooms But
ond round the neighbor says: You've
swept that room once But ! haven't
found the coin YETI That kind OF
spirit will win lives for the Son of
God. You had grand time at the
last social gathering; have you also
known the joy of Transforming life?
"This coin was personal loss to the
owner. Every young life has been kept
for a great purpose, as truly as these
coins were, but they lay in the dirt,
the kings image buried from view. 1t
is self-interest on the owners part
which sends him out after you. He
wants you. AS one has said, he seeks
not to bring himself to the coin, but
the coin to himself. There is joy in
the heart OF Christ over one that re-
penteth. but it must be repentance.
The coin must flash back the light
from the lamp in the hand Of the
Searcher. No Joy over the coin that
says, L am satisfied to be silver and
remain in the dirt There is an old
legend that an angel was sent to earth
to bring back the most precious thing
he found here. He went to the rarest
diamond mines. which man had never
seen, but they did not satisfy him; he
dove to the depths where the purest
pearls of the ocean lay smiling in the
sea; but they were not beautiful
enough TO adorn the crown of his Mas
ter In a hovel In the heart of the
great city he found a penitent from
whose eye stole tear OF genuine sor-
row for his sin. That tear never fell.
1t was caught on the angel wing and
borne to the throne of God"

HOW TO SHOW A PROFIT.
Tricky Bookkeeping Puts Losses on
the Profit Side.

the Profit Side.
The printed report Of municipal
Electric light plant in Indiana has just
oeen received. 1t shows a profit. There
- no question about it. 1t shows 4
large profit The figures are there in
profit equivalent to 80 per cent of the
gross income and Is per cent on the
capital invested. That is what We call
q profitable business.
How was this plant able to make so
good showing: In a way SO simple
that any municipal plant could adopt
Il with success If its superintendent
were good at figures. And the best OF
It IS that it makes competition by pri-
vatc plants impossible because-well,
stockholders are too inquisitive.
In the first place the fixed charges
for interest on the capital invested and
Cor depreciation were entirely ignored.
Then no allowance was made for taxes
lost by having municipal instead OF
private ownership. Next, while full
charge was made against the water de-
Dartment and the city offices for lights
and supplies, the superintende ut con-
ceniently forgot to charge the lighting
plant with the water used i'll its boil
FRS ana couhcu'ers or with its share OF
the salaries III the city accounting de-
partment. Insurance was also over
looked. Finally, TO make assurance OF
profit doubly sure, number OF items
properly pertaining TO maintenance
were charged to new construction
At the same time the charge for street
and public auilding lights was quite as
high a. i'll surrounding cities served
by pri ;ate companies, which had some
how or other 10 provide for all these
omitted items.
1t IS perhaps needless to add that ex-
.ept for the judicious way in which the
superintendent prepared his report
considerable deficit would have appear
ell instead Of the gratifying profits. OF
course the taxpayers will have to pro-
vide the money to make good these pa
ger profits. but they may not for some
years see the connection between their
profitable plant and the higher tax
rate. and meanwhile are happy in the
contemplation Of its profits and will
doubtless testify enthusiastically to the
benefits of municipal ownership.
From the above We may deduce the
following rule for showing profit:
First, omit all items Of expense that
can without too much danger Of de-
lection he saddicd upon the general
tax list or other departments; second,
charge In as vague way as possible
10 new construction as many items Of
maintenance as may be necessary to
show n large profit. (N. B.-The profit
must be large to provide for the con-
tingency of some carping critic discov-
ering one or more of the concealed
items of expense and ruthlessly draw
ing them forth from their hiding
places.l
If the above rule is scrupulously fol-
lowed there seems to be no reason
why every municipal plant should not
show a Notwithstanding Municipal
Ownership"
