A Suit Has Been Instituted.

Upon instructions from the Glenn
son college fertilizer board, suit has
been instituted in the Hampton coun-
ty court charging a fertilizer com
pany of Savannah with "short-weight-
ing" to the extent of 26,000 pounds of
fertilizer out Of sale of 10000
pounds to the farmers union of that
county. This action was decided up-
on at a meeting of the board. w. F..
West, the chief fertilizer inspector,
was instructed to place all evidence
in the hands Of the solicitor of the
second circuit and to employ counsel
if necessary. Testimony was pre-
sented to the board to show that the
Savannah Company had shipped 325.-
900 pounds of fertilizer to the Hamp-
ton County Farmers Union. The fer
tiliZer was distributed. Inspectors of
the fertilizer department of Clemson
college weighed 1,7O2 sacks and
found, according to their testimony
that the full weight was given.

EXPLOSION DUE TO FIRE
Flames Reached and Exploded Maea-
zines on Frances Newest and
Biggest Warship.

Toulon, Frarce.-The battleship
Liberte was torn apart and totally
destroyed by an explosion of her mag
aZine. Between three hundred and
fifty and four hundred officers and
men were killed. The battleship Re
publique was badly damaged and the
oattleships Democratic and Nerite
also suffered severely from the mass
IS of twisted iron and armor plate
that were hurled upon their decks.
This is the greatest disaster that
las ever fallen upon the French navy,
and in magnitude is almost without
precedent in the annals of the world
lighting ships. The grief which pros
trates the fleet and nation is MADE
more intense by the memory of the
recent review here, a Iotable display
of Frances naval greatness, in which
the doomed ship was ole OF the hnest
figures.
The explosion, which wiped out one
of Frances newest and most power
ful battleships, was the result oil an
outbreak of fire. The flames spread
rapidly in spite of all efforts to mas
ter them and reached the magazines
before there was time to flood them.
The magazines exploded with tremen-
dous violence, strewing death and de
struction in every direction.
While the naval authorities esti'
mate the fatalities at three hundred
and fifty to four hundred, it is expect
ed this figure will be exceeded. II
will be necessary to 40 through the
ship muster rolls, task OF some days
before a full list OF the victims can
be prepared. A number of men al
ready have been eXtricated alive from
the fantastically torn and twisted
mass of wreckage which once was
the Liberte. and the hope is strong
that there are others within the bro
ken hulk who can be reached.
Exactly from what cause or wher
the fire broke out has not been es
tablished, but it is believed it had
smouldered for hours OF the YES
sells full complement of 742 men, Cap
tain Jaure, brother of the Socialist
leader and the second officer in com
mand, were both ashore on leave, as
well as 140 officers and men. The
command of the ship devolved upon
he senior lieutenant, who perished.
