Manufacturers of commercial fertl- |

tom of placing on each sack the per-
centaga of plant food contained there

not under the same conditions. This
led to an examination OF the fertilizers
by the experiment station which found |
that in the majority of the cases the
fertilizers didn't come up to the guar
antee.
A fertilizer may contain the correct
amount, only fraction OF which is
available as plant food. The only
things OF value are the available phos-
phoric acid, potash and nitrogen; ana
that means the portions which are
either directly soluble in water or III

soluble to the roots that come in con-
tact with them.

of Charles Thatcher, delivered in tbs

excellent impression and won converts To

it is stated that some cotton is up.
In their efforts TO head off the boil

hood for the purpose of raising bonus
for the Cochrane road. and that 1920 was

bonus.
The recent survey of the town has been
made, and all lines established for the
convenience of the census enumerators

increasing the area was made, and the
returns OF this census will be over the
same area as the last, and a true guide
of the growth can be had.

MEN ARE ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH MURDER OF
DEPUTY MARSHAL ANDERSON

Oakman. April 14-(Special)-A late
hour tonight the posse of federal officers,
deputy sheriffs and citizens which left
at noon today for Gurganous settlement,
10 miles south of here, to investigate the
killing of United States Deputy Mar
shall W. A. Anderson, returned with three
prisoners. One of the mon admits his
guilt and his confession involves the other
two prisoners. The names of the men
arrested could not be ascertained.
The party which returned with the
prisoners is composed of United States
Marshal p NJ Long and Deputy Mar
shall Smith, Revenue Agent j. Ii Suber
OF Atlanta, Deputy Marshal Battle of
Jacksonville, Deputy Marshal A. j. Mont
gcinery, Deputy Sheriff Tom Files. Dep
uty Sheriff Appling and three possemen
from Oakman. Owing to the late arrival
of the posse tonight the community does
not know of the presence of the prisoners
and no trouble is anticipated. The three
mer will be taken to Jasper early to-
morrow morning and will be committed
to Jail there.
The posse, which was assembled here,
went to the scene of the murder OF Dep
uty Marshal Anderson and the wound
ing of Chief of Police Pullman of this
place, and with but little trouble arrested
a man who was believed to have been
implicated in the murder. 1t is stated
that he confessed that he was in the
party which fired upon the officers and
hi, statement involved the other two men
who were arrested later.
The officers found the shells from the
guns of the murderers near the home OF
one Of the prisoners and the calibre OF
the empty cartridges and the bullet taken
from Anderson's body correspond This
together with other evidence, is expected
TO prove disa strous to the prisoners when
they go to trial.

Will Smith of Colbert county, under
sentence of 80 years for the killing of
Holman Sullivan, gets a new trial be-
cause the lower court did not select his
jury from all of the venire drawn instead
of only those summoned. There does not
seem to be any other trouble with the
verdict, but this is enough, as it is not in
line with the statutes. 1t was reversed
by the supreme court today.
An interesting case handed down was
that of the Empire Laundry vs. Carrie
Lomax. The lower court had given the
woman a verdict of $500 for an injury by a
runaway horse owned by the company,
basing suit on a city law against leav-
ing horses unattended. 1t was contended
that the proof of accN1<~. was not strong
enough; also that at Il time of the in
jury the law was not in effect. The SUI
preme court held, therefore, that there
was not sufficient evidence to justify a
verdict and a new trial Is ordered
Pone Lang of Marshall county has a
six-year sentence for manslaughter af-
f1rned. and a sentence of Is years on Olin
Presley of Talladega is also upheld.
The court will have no more sessions
until next Tuesday, when it will take I'D
the Sixth division, including Jefferson
county.

Performance Much Enjoyed

An appreciative audience greeted Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert Sprague at the Ensley
Opera House last night, who gave most
enjoyable rendition of Rip Van Wrinkle,
1rving's immortal story. Mr.. Sprague. as
Rip, was fine and presented the character
with much force and feeling. He was
ably assisted by Mrs. Sprague, whose
work was Of the highest character.
The performance was very pleasing and
elected much applause. The only dis
cordant note in the performance was the
disturbance caused by late arrivals to
the show, which practically ruined the
first act.
This ends the lyceum course of the
Ensley High school, which, while not a
financial success, has presented many
high-class and profitable performances to
the citizens of the Steel City.
