Rock Hill, Nov. "A tele

from President Johnson Of Win

Winthrop college has beer

made
Winthrop had already beer
awarded $1,000 by that board to
ward the building of the mode

Potash Find In America.

A discovery by the scientists
of the department. of agriculture
that is expected soon to bring
about an annual saving to the
country of about s12,0W,000 is
announced by Secretary Wilson.
The Secretary states that
several rich potash sources have
been located in this country,
and that he expected that they
will be yielding enough potash
soon to supply the needs of the
nation.
Heretofore, Secretary Wilson
said, the country has been buy
ing its potash from Germany,
spending for it about sl2,m, 900
annually. ! Recently an appro-
priation was asked for to be
used in the work Of searching
for potash deposits in this coun-
try. Only a few thousand dol
lars was secured for the work,
but the money was used to ex-
cellent ADVANTAGE.
Secretary Wilson said that he
S not yet ready to 90 into de-
tails as to the mines. He said,
however, that most of the de-
sposits had been located in the
West. ashington Post.

South Carolina Farm Figures

Interesting statistics on the agricult-
ural conditions in the State Of South
Carolina hive recently been issuod and
indicate mcst pleasing results for the
past year as we'll as promise for the
future,
To begin with, the State jumped from
tw nty-first to thirteenth in the ranks
of the agricultural States by the announ-
cement of the agricultural figures.
Value of farm products increased by
2s.4 per cent, from 1909 to 1910. In
1910 value of crops was sl40,0e0,O 600, an
increase of nj arly 100 per cent in de-
cade.
Asssto value Of crops per square mile
of area, South Carolina ranked second
of all the states, with $4,51s. Illinois
led with a crop value per square mile OF
$5122.
IN 1910 there were in South Carolina
176, 1sO farms, an increase Of 13 per cent.
over the number in 1900. Value of lands
and Buildings increased 162 per cent;
implements and machinery, l12 per cent.
lands, 1863 per cent labor bill, 76.per cent.
Owners of farms increased from less
than $4,000 to over 81, and tenants were
sho y to have increased at a lover rate
than in the proceeding decade.
Another fact brought out by these
figures is that in 1910 bale of cotton
was valued at $s7,l5, while in 1893 the
average value of bale was $30.22. Cost
of production has also increased, but not
nearly in s, great proportion South

Carnival of Crime

There has never been so much shoot

the memory of the writer. II is not
confined to negroes either. but many
whites are killing and being killed,
And there are other crimes that are
more rampant than usual, especially
such as are connected with the illegal
sale of liquor. In these two respects the
State is in bad fix. Two towns, Union
and Dillon, have found conditions SO
bad that they have held citizens meet

towns are probable no Worse than others

Destroy the. Pine Beetle.

One of the most important
things we have at present is
the destruction Of the pine
beetle. This beetle has been in
our Southern states for years,
but there was more damage
done to timber during 1910 than
there had been in six years.
Therefore it is very impor.
tant that every owner of pine
timber make a strong effort
during this winter to destroy
the beetle entirely. This may
be done by examining the bark
on the dying trees and locate
Just what trees have the little
black beetle in the bark. Cut
these trees down and use them
for fre-wood or cord-wood, and
be sure it is burned before
March lst. BY doing this the
beetle can be destroyed.
The Carolina Timber Com
pany who own large tracts OF
timber in Pickens and Oconee
counties, are going to start the
work Of destroying the beetle
about the 10th inst, and would
be glad to have every owner
Of pine timber to assist by
destroying the beetles on their
holdings.
Ali who do not receive infor-
nation as how to destroy the
beetle can get same by writing
the Forest Insect Station No. 7.
Spartanburg, S. G. This bu-
reau was established by the
government for our benefit, and
it is very important that we
take up the work at once and
all work together and destroy
every tree that has the pine
beetle in them. If the timber is
located in places where it can
not be used for fre-wood, then
it can be cut and the bark
burned.
We hope that the different
papers over the state will, take
up this matter and give full in
structions and get every one
interested, and that South Car
olina may take the lead in
stamping out the pest.

TRANsFUsieN OF BLOOD.
By EDWIN A. NYR.

4NANSf OSIEnsS~Nk ok<N~..-------
United States Senator Luke Lea OF
Tennessee gave quart of his blood TO
save the life of his invalid wife.
The operation IS an object lesson
which strikingly illustrates the great
advance in medical science.
Mrs. Lea was much reduced and
growing steadily weaker. 1t was de-
cided by the physicians that the trans
fer Of the blood of some healthy per-
son must be made into her veins.
Who would furnish the blood?
Senator Lea insisted that his blood
be used. The senator is six feet tau,
and his ruddy cheeks indicate health.
However
It is scientifically true that the blood
of one person may not fuse with that
of another. A laboratory test first was
made which showed that the blood OF
the husband would blend with the
blood of the wife.
Then the operation proceeded
The tube connecting Lea's artery
with his wife's veins was inserted
Mrs. Lea soon responded to the treat
ndent. AS the color came into her
cheeks the flush faded from the face
Of her husband
The TRANSMISSION continued for an
hour and half.
At the end Of that time, although
Senator Lea urged the surgeons to
continue if there were any doubt as
to the success Of the operation, the
slow beating of the blood through the
tube was arrested.
Then Senator Lea fell to the floor In
faint
It Is good to know that the expert,
ment has proved successful and that
Mrs. LEAFS life was saved.
The story Is a fine demonstration OF
the great progress in preventive medi
cine.
tits also a fine demonstration of hus
bandly devotion.
It Is common for men to say they
would give the last full measure OF
their lifes blood for q loved one. Sen
ator Lea has literally made that sacrt
fee.
Now that the TRANSMISSION Of blood
Of which much was expected a hun
dred years ago and only recently made
practical by modern surgery, is become
matter of common use In hospitals, we
shall read of many such instances.
There are thousands Of husbands
who would gladly do what Senate,
Lea has done.

At a meeting of the Farmers S
Union association Of county bu-
siness agents held in Columbia
on the 1st inst, a resolution was
adopted unanimously recon-
mending to the members Of the
Union and farmers generally
throughout the state not to buy
any fertilizers at the price now
being quoted.
A reduction in the amount OF
fertilizers to be used was recon-
mended and large areas devoted
TO small grain and other pro,
vision crops was also among the
matters recommended to the
consideration Of farmers.
The meeting was well attend,

Cheap Religion.

1t costs according to The Atlanta
Journal, only $75 to save soul In that
city, as against $7S in New Orleans.
1896 in Chicago, $3.50 in Boston, $545
in New York and $500 in Indianapolis.
This is pretty good advertisement for
cheap salvation in one sense. but the
real question is, will it wear: The
Journal should produce some testimon-
ials on that point. Salvation in Inoiar-
apolis at $500 might be cheaper than III
Atlanta at $75. We feel little dubious
about Atlanta salvation anyway. Its
more than apt to be near-salvarion at
best,-Keoyee Courier.
