There is not a teacher in oklahoma

curity Of the teacher in his position
is much greater handicap on the

the state university to the poorest
paid teacher IN negro school, knows
this year whether or not he will

the views of congress from the differ.

who have read the message of Pres

fore them, the suggestion of a stormy

most a certainty, for it is a forcgone
conclusion that neither insurgents
nor the utra-conservative republi-

in the path as laid down by the prcsi-

one hope fingers behind the general
anticipation. and that Is, If there be

must be. that they will come nearer

The report of the board asks that
a dormitory be authorized that will

sixty inmates. Instead of erecting

new cottages, to be scattered over
the spacious grounds in event the

the production lies in its presenta-

To the Editor of The Sumter Item:
notice a statement in your paper
to the effect that sulphate Of am
monia-a fertilizer ingredient-is on
the free list in the pending tariff bill.
Perhaps you overlooked the fact
that the Dingley law provided a duty
of $6 per ton for this article; in the
Payne bill it was on the free list,
while the Aldrich or senate bill, now
pending. provides duty of 81 per ton.
Senator Smith is now making an
effort to have the proposed duty of
"a per ton removed and the article
placed on the free list as provided in
the Payne measure.

rRoF HARPER SOUNDS WARNING
Calls Attention to Efforts to Put Duty
On Sulphur and Basic Stag.

Columbia, April 26.-Commissione
Watson received today a letter from
Prof. ]. N. Harper, of Clemson Col
lege. calling attention to efforts being
made in this State to keep basic Stag
from being finally placed on the free
list In the tariff bill. and that efforts
are also being made to get a tax of
$6 per ton on sulphur. both Of which
would work hardship on the farm
ers Of this State. Commissioner Wat
son has sent copies of Prof. Harper's
letter to Senators Tillman and Smith
and the members of the House from
this State.
Prof. Harper's letter follows
II understand that the sulphur peo-
pie of Utah and Louisiana are trying
their best to get tax Of Sc epr ton
on sulphur. This means another hard
ship. on the farmer. Sulphur is used
largely in this country in the manu-
facture Of sulphuric acid. The extent
to which sulphuric acid is used Is
enormous. There are more than O.
100000 tons of mineral phosphates
dissolved by sulphuric acid. A duty
on sulphur means higher priced acid
phosphate.
There Is another matter that I
would like to call to your attention
Some OF the acid people Of this. State
are using their influence to prevent
basic Stag from remaining on the
free list. Basic Stag Is used largely
In Europe and the British Isles as a
source of phosphorous and where 1t is
used with stable manure in this coun-
try 1t Is a valuable source OF phos-
phorous. It Is also q valuable source
OF plant food when used on rich bot
tom land that contains large amounts
CT organic matter. The directors OF
the experiment stations were largely
responsible for sulphate Of ammonia
being put on the free list. Heretofore
the duty on sulphate of ammonia has
been $S per ton, and the Payne bill
as originally framed, admitted sui
phat OF ammonia without duty. but
the Steel Trust had influence enough
to place a duty OF 81 rer ton on this
material. have been conducting ex-
periments witt sulphate of ammonia In
comparison with nitrate Of soda as
top dressing for cotton, and find
that 1t is just as good as nitrate Of
soda for this purpose. provided we
have favorable seasons. During a wet
year sulphate Of ammonia Is not as
available as nitrate of soda, but 1t is
splendid source Of nitrogen, and
IL 1t Is admitted duty free it will re-
/duce the price Of nitrate of soda and
other ammoniated fertilizers The cot
ton planters of the South are learn
ing the, value Of top dressing their
cotton and corn. and each year the
demand for nitrate Of soda and other
quickly available nitrogenous fertili-
zers increases. We must exert every
effort to have sulphate Of ammonia
placed on the free list. understand
that basic Stag has been eliminated
from the maximum tariff in both bills
and 1t Is not likely that a duty will
be placed upon it, unless great pres
