Destroys Stone and Brick Dams.

Mr.. P. Rosenbeeg, one Of our most enter
prising citizens, builds houses, open
streets and does various other things to
make the city bigger, greater and more
metropolitan, and then, when resting, he
devoted much time little while ago in
building a great stone dam on a little
stream just outside the city limits. He
gathered from the adjacent lands stones OF
all shapes, sizes and dimensions and laid
them down on the banks Of the stream.
Employing skilled labor and using guam.
tity Of cement, q great dam was raised
across the flowing water, which held the
pond beautifully until last week. The
-. hard rain sent down over the dam great
volume Of water, which was thrown over
the dam. 1t cut away the supporting
earth, and the dam was so badly broken
up, that there are now great lot OF broken
stone and hole Of water, where once
stood q dam Of which Mr.. Rosenberg had
reason to be proud to the extent OF $3.50.
Mr.. George White, as good man as you
could find in days journey, built for him.
self a nice brick dam. The same water
that broke up Mr.. Rosenbergs stone dam
knocked Mr.. Whites brick dam into
smithereens, and the bricks went in search

Very Proud.

This writer, speaking for himself and be-
lieving that he voices the sentiment Of
every law-abiding citizen in the State, is
very proud to know that our Courts are
disposed to enforce the laws, even if such
enforcement should necessitate the pun
ishment of men in high social and power
full monetary circles.
Our juries seem to be courageous in find
ing verdicts according to the law and the
evidence. And it is especially notable that
our Circuit Judges are doing their duty,
irrespective of the prominence and respect
ability Of the law-breakers. And, then, the
Supreme Court, as the great citadel and
stronghold of all our liberties furnish little
hope for those who would seek to escape
their just punishment by technicality, or
through the able and specious argument Of
learned counsel.
While there are many instances where
we have reason to be thankful to juries, to
Circuit Judges, and to the Supreme Court
for their integrity in enforcing the law,
mention is especially made Of the cases Of
Kennedy in Barnwell, and Of Jones Of
Union. It looks, too, like the criminals Of
the Seminole swindle may feel the effective
force Of the law in Furnishing fragrant
and outrageous breach Of trust.
When the juries, the judges and the Su-
preme Court cut off from the rich and the
powerful every avenue Of escape, law-abid-
ing people everywhere will respect our
statutes, will honor cur juries, end place
full trust and confidence in our Judges
and in our Supreme Court.
1t now really looks as If prominence, So
cial condition, money and popularity have
little or no influence in saving criminals
from just punishment in South Carolina.
The great body Of the people have reason
to respect the law and to feel that crimi-
nails Of high or low degree will be treated
alike by juries, Judges, and the Supreme
Court. All are acting nobly in doing we'll
/ their part in Furnishing evil doers Of every
degree.
There never was time in the history OF
South Carolina when justice was more
equally meted out alike to rich and poor.
Liz pooF mdu Ill uiS lSHol dheo oni ia iiS
poverty, it seems to us, Is not more GER
tainly punished for his crimes than is his
educated, rich and influential neighbor.
Whether or not the facts exist, as we
think they do, it is a glorious thing to be-
lieve that juries return true verdicts and
that neither Judges nor Courts let techni-
calities open the road for the escape OF
those who are rich and daring.
Substantial justice, irrespective Of frils
and technicalities, await every man. The
honest administration Of the law is enough
to make every law-abiding citizen feel
glad that he lives in South Carolina, where
he can respect the juries, the Judges and
the Supreme Court.

Ladies Are Liable TO Contact Disease
from False Hair.

A case Of leprosy has been discovered in
Detroit. The victim Is girl clerk in a
hair store. Her identity Is suppressed by
Che Health board. Several physicians
have examined the girl and most OF them
agree on the diagnosis. They also agree
that the patient contracted the disease
from hair imported from Europe, cut
from the head OF an infected peasant girl.
The physicians say that absolute disin-
lection OF shipments of hair before they
are sent to American Is almost impossible
and that leprosy or any other disease
with which peasants are infested may be
easily communicated. The girl has been
isolated, and the Health Board Is wonder
ing what to do with her.

is rich in the honors Of his countrymen'
In the COS he was Major Of the 10th S. c.
Y. regiment. He did good service in fight
ing for Southern Rights. In camp life ne
earned the respect and goodwill Of the
soldiers under him. He was gentle and
kind to his men, and he had that strength
Of mind that enabled him to encounter the
dangers Of war with firmness and intrepid

potash as q fertilizer. There is enough
now, the great need is,. humus. Humus Is
needed to keep the little bugs going and
the little bugs are needed to furnish
nitrogen.
The growing plant Is furnished with
water by capillary attraction, just as In a
ker osine lamp the flame is fed through
the wick with oil. II glass tube be In
serted into bowl ofwater the water will
rise in the tube to point above the. level
Of the water in the bowl The smaller the
tube the higher the water will rise. II the
hollow OF the tube be the size Of hair,
the water will rise In it until it flows over
the top Of the tube.
Thus 1t is with soils. Some soils are
coarse, some are medium In grain. some
are fine. In the coarse soil the wafer can
not rise very high by means Of capillary
attraction. The plant suffers for want OF
water. What is the remedy? Fill the in
sterces OF the coarse soil with humus and
reduce the size of the capillary tubes and
then the water will rise higher to the plant
Sometimes the soil is too fine and the
water finds no capillary tubes through
which to rise the plant. What is, the
remedy2 Introduce humus and nature
will do the rest.
Phosphoric Acid costs 5, cent the pound.
Ground phosphate rock cost 1 cent the
pound. Inmany soils nature has enough
acids In store to, make available the
phosphorus without treating it with sui
phoric. acid. What q saving. then 1t would
be to the farmer to put on. his, land: five
tons Of phosphate rock IN place Of one. ton
Of treated phoshate rock.
These and many things did the doctor
tell his audience.

Farmers Heard IRterestiny Discourse
Saturday.

DR.. Barrow, representing Clemson
College made very interesting and in
structive talk to Abbevire farmers on
last Saturday.
The burden of his speech Was, how to
reduce the fertilizer bill on the farm.
If what the Docter says is true, and no
doubt it Is, many men are throwing
money to the winds in the purchase OF
their fertilizers.
II g. field does not produce we'll that is
not proof, that there is not sufficient plant
food in the soil. The plant food may be
there in abundance and something else
may be wanting Plant food is often pre-
sent in the greatest abundance out is In
uch state as to be unavailable. When this
is the case it is necessary to add some
thing to the soil that will make 1t avail
able. Oxygen is an agent which helps
the farmers much. When tho earth 1s
broken, opened, pulverized, the oxygen OF
the air enters and chemical action takes
place which both warns tho soil and
makes available the plant food.
Another agent which aids the farmer
much is the microscopic bug which has
the power Of taking the nitrogen out OF
the air and storing it up in the earth for
the use of the plant.
Nine-tenths Of the air is nitrogen, but
it is available in this state to very few
plants. The legumes, peas, beans vetches,
clovers etc, is the only class, OF plants
that possesses the power Of s,bstracting
oxygen from the air and making 1t avail
able for plant life.
The soil is full Of bacteria. Teeming
millions to the Cubic foot work night and
day to help the plant helpitself
You have seen places which have been
struck by lightning. No crops. no grass,
nothing will grow on the spot for many
months. You say that the tightening has
killed the soil, and in manner you, are
correct. The soil Is deadso far as vege:
table growth is concerned. The tighten
ing took nothing out of the soil as it pass
ed through it. 1t added nothing to the
soil asit passed through it. What then
did happen2 1t killed all the little bugs ir
the soil, that is what it did.
Now this Is something that can be prov
ed. The next time you find such a place
in your field just innoculate it with earti
that has not been struck bylightening ant
in short time the area will be. just a!
fruitful as it ever was. The little bugs
will grow and spread until they permeat'
the earthe as before.
