COMMISSION STANDS FIRM.
Orders Cheraw Crossing Laid Ac'
cording to First Instructions.

Cheraw, Dec. 2S.-The South Caro-
lima railroad commission met here
to-day in response to a request from
General Manager Hix, of the Sea-
board, who complained that the Coast
Line had not obeyed the instructions
of the commission in putting in the
crossing. The commission viewed
the crossing on Front street and Sec
ond street, heard arguments for the
Seaboard by General Counsel L. r.
Watts, of Portsmouth; w. H. Lyles,
of Columbia; w. F. Stevenson; and
for the Coast Line, P. A. Wilcox,
State counsel, and w. P. Pollock, Of
Cheraw.
The Seaboard wished to give the
right of way on Second street, but
would contest the crossing at Front
street to. the last court. The Coast
Line wanted action deferred until
Judge Watts hears the case Fri
day. The commission confirmed the
Front street crossing and directed
the Coast Line to assemble all ma
terials before starting work, put in
an interlocking switch and run no
trains until the commission accepts
the work. Commissioner Caughman
dissented, preferring that the roads
make amicable selection elsewhere.

God Bless dad"

We happened into a home the 9TH
er day, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red.
"What is Home Without Mother?'
Across the room was another brief:
"God Bless Our Home"
Now what's the matter with, "God
Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, and
wipes the dew off the lawn with his
boots while many a mother is sleep
ing. He makes the weekly hand-out
to the butcher, the milkman and gro
ceryman, and his little pile is badly
demolished before he has been home
an hour.
If there is a noise in the night,
Dad is kicked in the back and made
to 20 down stairs and find the burg
lar and kill him. Mother darns the
socks, but dad bought the socks in
the first place and the needles are
darn afterwards. Mother does up
the fruit. Dad bought it all, and jars
and sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chicken for Sunday
dinner, serves them himself and
draws the neck from the ruins after
everybody else is served. what is
Home Without a Mother?" Yes,
that's all right, but 'What is Home
Without Father?" Ten chances to
one it's a boarding house; father is
under a slab and the landlady is the
widow. Dad, here's to you! You've
got your faults; you may have lots
of 'em, but you're all right, and vel!
miss you when you're gone.-Con-
yers Times.

ROBIN INDICTED.
Grand Jury Makes Short Work of
Ranker'S Case.

Bankers Case.
New York, Dec. 29.-It took the
juy just an hour to-day to indict
Joseph G. Robin on a charge of the
larceny of $4,000 from the Washing
ton Savings bank, of which he was
president. The bank passed into the
hands of the State banking depart
ment to-day, there to keep company
with the Northern Bank of New York,
of whose executive committee he was
chairman and with which his name
has hitherto been more prominently
connected. The district attorney ex-
planned that out of a mass of evidence
drawn from the records of both in
stitutions he had chosen the charge
that he thought could be presented
most simply to jury.
Robin was Immediately placed un-
der arrest at the home of his sister,
DR.. Louise Robinovitch, but his ar
raignment was postponed until to-
morrow when he must give bail IN
the sum of $4,000 or go to JAIL
pending either a trial or determina-
ton of his sanity.
Technically Robin is insane now.
The order of commitment signed by
Justice Amend, at the request of DR..
Robinovitch, and on the certification
of three other physicians, still stands,
although the private sanitarium to
which Robin was taken refused to
receive him.
Austin Flint, one of the physicians
who signed the certificate for his COM
mittment, and DR.. William Mayhem,
Superintendent of the Manhattan
State asylum for the insane, to-day
began an examination into Robins
condition. 1t was not expected that
their findings would be made known
until they were presented to the court
tomorrow.

INCREASE IN TAG TAX.
Farmers Spent Much on Fertilizers
the Past Year.

The tag tax paid on fertilizers in
the year 1910 will exceed the amount
received in 1909 by nearly $4,000.
The first year of the tag tax the total
income was not $4,000. This year
it will probably reach $4,000.
The total for last year was S2O7,-
741.31, and the total for 1909 up to
December 27 was s199,566.31, show
ing that $4,000 came in during the
last four days. The receipts for 1910.
ND to December 27, have been $685.
412.15. On the 1st of December the
receipts had been S230,6S4.55. The
receipts for 27 days of the current
month have been less than $4,000.
Judge j. Fuller Lyon, the clerk in
charge of this department at the
State treasurer's Office, stated yester-
day that he believes that the falling
of during the present month has
been due to the recent talk about
German kainit supply running short.
He looks for a heavy reaction in the
month of January.
The Tag Tax.
The tag tax or privilege tax is an
assessment of 25 cents on every ton
of commercial fertilizers used in this
State. This is, nominally, to pay for
the expenses of the inspection OF
fertilizers under the direction of the
chemistry department at Clemson COL
lege. The great increase in the use
of commercial fertilizers is due to the
more intelligent method of farming
now being used all over the State.
Farmers are beginning to nourlsh
their crops in the languishing seasons
Just as the human body is stimulated
by wholesome food.
Increase Shown.
The increase in the use of such fer
tilizers may be seen from the follow
ing receipts from the tag tax:
1908 .I..-.S172, ,234.76
1909 ........ 207,741.31
1910 (partiaD .. --- ---- 236,412.l5
AS each dollar of the tax repre-
sents four tons of fertilizer it will
be seen that already there have been
used in South Carolina during the
current year $4,000 tons of CONNER
cial fertilizer, and at $40 per ton this
indicates that the farmers of South
Carolina last year put into the soil
about S1S,O00,000 worth of stimulat-
ing material. Not only this, but they
are studying the needs of the soil and
are becoming more proficient in man
ufacturing, preserving and using sta
BILE manure and vegetable matter to
enrich the soil. All of this is build
ing up the land, not for one crop, but
for succeeding crops, so long as the
farmer keeps it up.

Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks. They're
in air, water, dust, even food. But
grand protection is afforded by Elec-
trio Bitters, which destroy and expel
these deadly disease germs from the
system. That's why chills, fever and

INDUSTRY REACHES
HUGE PROPORTIONS
Figures Show That Production OF
Portland Cement Has Grown
to 76.0o0.o0o Barrels.

With the growth of the cement in
dustry in this section and the ever in
creasing demand for that product, il
| is only natural that the subject OF
cement manufacture is one of wide
spread interest in Arizona. The fol
| owing statement as to cement produc-
ton and the trade conditions sur
rounding it is taken from the geologi-
cal survey and contains number of
facts that may be of geeral use:
Ten years ago the production Of
Portland cement for the first time
passed the 100000 barrel mark
showing and increase of $500 per
cent over the production of 10 years
previous, and the giant strides that
had been made in the industry were
widely remarked. Even the produc-
ton was small compared with that
of the present day. In 1910. according
to the report on cement by Ernest f.
Burchard of the United States geologi-
cal survey. the production of Portland
cement reached the enormous total OF
16.549,951 barrels, with a value of $685.
2O5.SOO. This is equivalent to l2,9S6.152
long tons, valued at 1925 a ton. II is
an Increase over the output for 1909
of 11.55S.520 barrels, or nearly Is per
cent, and an increase in value of SIS
34I ,446. or more than % per cent This
increase alone is greater than the total
output of Portland cement in 1900. In
addition to Portland cement there was
also produced last year 1.139.239 bar
rels Of natural cement and 95.951 bar
rels Of puzzOlan cement, a total of IL
7S5.141 barrels.
The price Of Portland cement in 1910
was as low as 70 cents a barrel in
some places. the average for the
United States being S9.1 cents barrel.
In 1890 the average price was over 81
barrel and as Taste as 1908 it was
1924 a barrel
Mr.. Burchard remarks that meas
ured by the capital invested the cement
industry is one of the worlds three
great eXtractive industries. In capital
employed it apparently far outranks
the gold mining industry of the United
States, including Alaska, sa well as
the copper industry. Only coal and
iron stand ahead of it.
The principal constituent of Port
land cement is limestone, and Mr.
Burchard's report summarizes the
most important limestone formations
in all the states. The greatest of
these are found in the eastern half of
the United tates, where there are
enormous limestone deposits. The re-
port is accompanied by a map showing
the distribution of these limestones.

suit of Happiness" with a clever
company OF eight people. beautiful
costumes and scenery. The story

Happiness" and his adventures
with .'Wine,'' Nicotine" pleas
'ure' and Pain" The curtain rises
on a Roman garden which Is said
to be "Eyerywhere," and Every
|one'' enters, dressed like a Roman
of the olden days, hunting for Hap
,pfness." PAIN comes In and tells
him he will be his companion. Then
comes in Wine" Nicotine" and
Pleasure" entice and lure him UNI
til he sleeps satiated, then "Pain"
comes and o~yerwhelms him, until he
calls on Prayer" to aid him, and
