The constant moving of the ball
that is accepted-is due to the
unequal expansion of difenent parts
of the spheres surface. AS a
sphere it's surface is presented to
more highly heated than the part of
the surface exposed to the north
and its cold winds. Also the sur
face of the whole would be more
apt to become more heated during
the day than would the base upon
which it rests, rs the latter is larg-
er and heavier than the ball itself
Now as one part of the ball eX-
pands a minute quantity more than
the other with each heating of one
side, and contracts in the same ra-
tion on cooling there would tend to
result a slight creeping movement
which in time would move the ball
sufficiently to let the change in the
position be noted by the naked eye.
Naturally the expansion of one side
of the ball would make that side
heavier than the chilled side, and
the heated side would work it's way
toward the bottom. The case is
considered one of the most remark
able on record and has furnished a
new idea concerning the expansion
and contraction of solids. The con-
clusions of American scientists who
examined the ball were submitted
to scientists of Europe. All agree
! that the action of heat and cold of
the four seasons cause the ball to
| change it's position minute parti-
Gle every day.

How Fertilizers are AnaIyzcd at

III it were not for the laws gov

OF commercial fertilizers, South Car

ground for fertilizers that could net
be sold in states having an inspec-
tton law. No one. not even a chem

tell the difference in the value. For
instance, of an 8, 3, 3, fertilizer
and a 10, 4, 4, fertilizer. The
farmers would simply be at the
mercy of the manufacturers (and
there are always some unscrupulous
manufacturers) were it not for the
fertilizer analysis conducted by
Clemson College. 1t is the purpose
of this article to show how this
analysis is carried on.
The General Assembly Of South
Carolina makes laws governing the
inspection and analysis of COM
mercial fertilizers, and the Board
of Trustees simply carry out these
laws.

official samples the State is divid-

inspector for each district. These
inspectors canvass, the several dis

they may find fertilizers. These
samples are placed in thirty-two

Upon receipt of these samples by

REFUTE REPORT OF B|G COTTON CROP

Montgomery, August N.-September Is .ha date and Montgomery is the place where a lot of the state agricultural com Jnissioners of the south, members and of- dcials of the Farmers union, farmers generally bankers and business men or the southern states and representatives of southern commercial organizations will attend a mass meeting for the purpose of considering the gradual marketing of the 1911 crop of cotton and mainly to correct an erroneous impression as to volume Of this crop.
 The call for this important meeting was issued Thursday morning by State Com missioner of Agriculture Reuben F. Kolb of Alabama. after having received reports from the various agricultural commits sioners of the southern states that the crop has greatly deteriorated since the publication of the last government report and the announcement of the estimate of a 100000 bale crop in the south.
 Very startling information was re- ceived by Commissioner Kolb Thurs day morning from Texas. The crop there this year according to the most reliable authorities, including the agri- cultural commissioner of Texas, has deteriorated at least 50 per cent since the last government report. All other southern states report a deterioration of about 20 per cent, with the excep- ton of North Carolina and Tennessee. The agricultural commissioner of Oklahoma reports damage to the cot ton crop in his state from the exces- give heat.
 In Alabama Commissioner Kolb has heard from all of the 67 counties with
 the exception of two. In all of these great damage is reported, the average of deterioration reaching 25 per cent.

 While the prisoner gazed fxedy at him, MT. Owen told how Beattie drove up to his house on the night of the murder, tool; his young wife into the automobile and an hour later returned with her body beside him. He described Beauties cry of My Godr' My God," which the pris- oner uttered as he drove up, and how he (Beattie) had shouted tragically, "They have killed Louise.
 Briefly and simply MT. Owen told how the body was lifted from the car. He said he did not examine it at the time. When it was prepared for burial. how ever, he saw the wound in the left cheek, which he described 'as big as a half dollar" As the witness said this, Beat tie mumbled Half dollar loud enough for those near him to hear.
 Beauties blood soaked clothes were un- rolled before the jury. and the witness identified them. The single barreled shot gun with which the commonwealth says the shot was fired was then exhibited.
 The witness identified the gun as the one. shown at the coroners inquest, at which time Paul Beattie swore that he had purchased 1t for his cousin. Then MT Owen described the scene of the
 
 the murder. Beattie watched his uncle in-law like a hawk as the testimony pro- ceeded. Now and then he shook his head as if in contradiction.
 Did you observe the conduct of the accused a the house after the murder?' Owen was asked
 He seemed to be grieved, and l tried to keep him out of the room where the body was, said the witness. 'He asked me for some whisky, and I sent out for some, and several times he inquired if his wife was dead. He also requested several times that l telephone to his father.'
 'ro what extent did Beattie use the whisky" asked counsel for the common wealth
 'I am pretty certain I saw him take a drink" said Owen, and later l found a half pint bottle empty He could not swear, however, that the prisoner had drunk it all.
 The witness described the bearded "highwayman" as described to him by Beatte as his wifes murderer. He re- peated Beattie,s story of the alleged en- counter, and told of a scratch on the latters face, which the prisoner had said the man who did the shooting inflicted.
 Did the accused render you any aid in an attempt to identify the assassin ?' Owen was asked.
 His description of the man was the only aid," replied the witness.

Amounts decreased over Alabama from the coast northward..
