How to Raise
More Cotton
and Corn
per Acre.

This can easily and profitab1y
be done by using Fertilizers as
a side application.
For corn use 300 pounds of
Piedmont Guano per acre when
the corn is knee high, and when
you wish to use nitrate Of soda,
make an application Of 100
pounds per acre at laying by
time.
For cotton Use a side app1i-
cation Of 300 pounds of Pied
mont Guano per acre, Just about
the time it starts to blooming,
and when nitrate Of soda is
wanted Use as in the corn.
If you decide to try this be
sure to try Our Piedmont Guano.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.

"Home" just completed and opened
in Columbia for the comfort and
maintenance of the Veterans Of
South Carolina who are unable to
care for themselves. The reading
of 'NIs description is calculated to
brins to the heart of every CarOlin-
ian FEELING of pride and gratitude
that a. last we have made provision
for the needs Of those who gave their
services to the cause OF the Confed
@racy and are now broken in health
and in need of help from the State
'hey served so well at the time the
state and the whole South needed
the service they rendered.
Read the description, which will
be found In the second column on
the seventh page of this issue, then
contrast 1t with the following dis
patch from Anderson to the Green
vile News:
Because Of a lack of discipline
among the inmates of the Soldiers
Home at Columbia, .,uu because the
inmates are allowed to curse, tell
Smutty jokes, keep themselves inde-
cent, and because their table man
ners are horrible, Riley Rowland,
who won't to the home from Ander-
son county, has returned, and says
ne will never ester the home again
unless great changes take place.
''Mr. Rowland is one Of the few
survivors Of the Crater at Peters
burg, and there is no man living
more honorable and truthful. He
has high ideals, and his friends here
3re distressed to learn that condi-
'tlons are so that he cannot remain at
the home, where he has been look
ing forward to spending his declin-
ing years Mr.. Rowland says he
stayed at the home as long as he
could bear 1t and then left. His
friends will provide a home here for
him."
What a shock to the sense Of de-
Cency and propriety! A beautiful
home provided for the Confederate
Veterans by the people of the State.
and yet, almost at its very opening
one OF those whom it was designed
to bcncfit--a man "honorable and
truthful, a man of high Ideals"
according to the reports that
have gone out from his home town
has ''stayed there as long as he
could bear it, because 1.-The inmates
are allowed to curse, tell smutty
Jokes, keep themselves indecent, and
because their table manners are hor-
riblo. If this report be wholly
truthful We congratulate Riley Row
land, CoSfcdcratc Veteran and South
4rn gentleman. Would that in the
'liOme' every Veteran whom we
honor for their bravery AMI loyalty
TO the Southern cause, and whom we
love for their own Sakes and the
sake Of the "Causc that was Lost
could bear the same title-than
which there is 40 higher in the sec
uMr life. and which so many have
Dornc--"Conicdcratc Veteran and
Southern Gentleman"
Riley Rowland has acted wisely
and nObly II his act is based on honor
and high ideals, and it will have the
effect OF cleansing the homes atmos-
nhcrc, If indeed it needs cleans
ing. The state and the people en-
pectod and will have a "dcccnt"

BOLIVIA AND PERU
MAY COME TO WA |
South American Diplomats Believe
Administration at La Paz Is
Anxious to Make Campaign
of Expansion

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Is Bolivia
seeking a pretense for bringing on war
with Peru?
This question is being asked by South
American diplomats who are watching
every development in the situation in
which Argentina, Bolivia and Peru are
directly interested, and Chile and Bra
zil indirectly.
Some of the diplomats profess to
think the excitement in Bolivia over
the Argentine award, which was IA
vorable to Peru, is really a blind on
the part of politicians there to bring
about an armed conflict with Peru,
nominally to secure a more satisfactory
adjustment of the boundaries of the
disputed tract, but actually aimed at
territorial conquest.
Chile's probable attitude in the event
of hostilities between Bolivia and Peru
is being also discussed with much an
imation. Her financiers are spending
considerable money in the work of
railroad construction in Bolivia, and
the popular sympathies are believed to
be with that country. Her unfriend-
liness to Peru dates back to the Chill
can Peruvian war of a quarter of a
century ago.
With Chile's assistance, Bolivia
would have a decided advantage.

board of public works and members of
the city council attended the services,
as did many officials from other mu-
nCipal offices.
An indication of the feeling toward
the late engineer entertained by con-
tractors who have worked under his
supervision is given by the action of
the contractor now building the Sew

geles river who closed down all work
yesterday on the bridge and, with sew
eral of his foremen, attended the OBJ
sequies of the designer.
Following the simple service, the

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-John A.
Young, president of the Windsor Trust
company of this city; Sterling BIZ
mingham, head of the institutions loan
department, and Charles Katz, presi-
dent of a Brooklyn brewery, were called
to the district attorneys office in the
course of an investigation started to-
day at the request of an attorney rep
resenting Augustus Heinze to explain
how 10000 shares of Davis-Daly and
Ohio Copper company stock appeared
on the curb market recently, when it
was supposed to be locked securely in
the banks vaults, where it was placed
by broker acting for Heinze as Sc
Curity for a loan of $4,000. The stock
is valued at 100000.
Counsel maintains that the trust
company was acting merely as an
agent In placing the loan, and there
fore was not responsible for the stock.
Heinzes lawyer asked for an inVesti-
cation on the ground that it constitutes
larceny to hypOthecate stock depos-
tied for a loan when it was knowingly
provided that the collateral should be
retained simply as security.
While Heinze thought his stock was
held by the bank he was dismayed to
find it at the mercy of the bears on the

with the trust company.
A representative of Heinzc immedi-
taely called at the bank and endeaV-
ored to discharge the loan with inter
est, only to be informed that the stock
was not there.
The case was not cleared up today
although it came out that the $4,000
was furnished by Mr.. Katz and an as
sociate in the Eastern Brewing compa-
ny. for whom the bank acted as agent,
receiving a bonus of $1,000, it is said
The district attorneys office has not
decided whether any criminal action
can be taken.

THEIR WORK
TWO MEN BUSY WITH RANcHMEN

secretary of Bureau Says That All
Data Will Be Bunched and That
There Is No Need to Fear
Identity

The state bureau of labor statistics
reports, through Secretary Bruce
Hatch that there are two men out
touring the domains of the fruit grow
cIs' rdlcnmen and farmers in an effort
to compile thorough and exact reports
IN regard to labor conditions in south
erh California. The men seem to be
meeting with an occasional misunder-
standing because people are not famil-
lar with the aims of the bureau and
become suspicious when questions are
asked.
Peter McNaly and Frank Roney. the
men employed, are thoroughly expert
ehced in the work, but state that now
ana then they find a man who hesi-
tates about answering the questions
necessary to comply with the form of
the labor report.
In view of the fact that all of the
reports are compiled and published un-
der one head, and therefore lose their
identity, it is hard to see how anyone
can fear that his private affairs will be
made public" says the secretary of the
bureau.
The following is the form of the labor
report to be filed out:
Name and address of employer.
Acres, products, approximate annual
value, class of occupation.
Nationality.
Sex.
Number of employees.
Number of hours work.
Rate of wages with board and lodg-

oscar T.. Parish spoke of the mutual
need existing between Los Angeles ana
San Pedro for consolidation and mar
Dor development and predicted that, II

Fences Are All Real
Richmond Plant said that the fence
put across Canal street in Wilmington
was no less real than the invisible
fence built along the channel at San
Pedro by the Southern Pacific. He in
stanced occasions when ships desiring
to land at San Pedro had been turned
away because of the refusal of the cor
poration and for the reason that San
Pedro has not foot of municipal land
ing available.
Robert A Albert made a vigorous
speech for citizenship in Los Angeles.
In all this campaign" he said, lit
has been brought to me very strongly
the contrast prevailing between prom
ises made on one side-for instance, by
George Alexander, who Will be your
mayor under consohdation-and on the
other side by the gentlemen who have
been at the head of the San Pedro city
government. On one side you see
STRAIGHTFORWARD pledges; on the other
side you see thrown out promises they
know they cannot fulfill.
THE recent attitude of the San Pc
dro trustees reminds me fOrcibly of
that line from Virgil 'Timeo Danaos
ct dona ferentes'-I am afraid of the
Greeks, especially when they come
bearing presents But 1 have full
faith in the fulfillment of the prom
ises made by Los Angeles"
Secretary Fleming took up the
pledges made by Los Angeles having
an especial bearing on the interests of
East San Pedro. He showed how the
corporations are now entrenched along
the harbor for the payment of nomi-
nal sums or nothing at all for valuable
privileges, and explained the reasons
for their fear that consolidation would
bring harbor for the benefit of all the
people.
The meeting was closed with answers
to questions propounded by j. E. Gard
ner and Alex Cain of East san Pedro
regarding points brought out by the
speakers, which were answered salts
factorily by Secretary Fleming.
