or reserve line after the fertilizer men
had made the first attack. The Spar
tanburg Herald published n special dis
patch from Washington ON Thursday
from which it would appear that the
President is not BY any means entirely
sure OF his ground. the dispatch read
Ing as follows:
Washington. January ll.-Scnator
Smith to-day called on President Taft
In connection With the potash contro-
versy and states tonight that the mat
ter seems TO be progressing satisfac-
torily.
The Senator and the President cX-
changed Views ON the matter and
while they did not entirely agree on
all points, both are hopeful that the
matter may be so Strengthened out that
the farmers Will not be compelled to
pay the high prices being demanded by
the German producers for the fer
tilizer ingredients involved in the con-
~troversy.
There is no question:" says tho
Senator. "as TO who is the mythical
consumer in this matter. When the
farmer buys fertilizer he pays a fixed
price. but tho benefit ho derives from
ol'OA 49,
The farmer is the mythical consumer
in this case as sure as you're alive and
should not be held up by an eX-post
facto or retroactive law passed by
Germany when this Government has it
IN its powcr to prevent IT,"
1t is encouraging that. after tho
Senator and the. President exchanged
views on the matter" and In spite of
the fact that they did not entirely
agree on all points" they were really
so near together That the Senator
could report that tine matter seems TO
be progressing satisfactorily" and that
both are hopeful that the matter may

mers will not DO compelled 10 pay the
high price being demanded by the Ger
man producers for the fertilizer In
gradients involved in the controversy"
While there Is hope there is life, ana
already the sky seems to be brighten
inS. That was a very clever bit of
detective work by Senator Smith when
nc discovered who tho mythical con
sumner IN this case is, and having
found him. 1t is TO be expected that all
the arts of diplomacy Will be Invoked
for his protection; though exactly
how n mythical consumer" can he

1t is reported In the Washington adj
vices of the Charleston News ana

tor said that he had received no real
satisfaction from the President; but
now that they are working together.
1t is reasonable to expect that very
definite results Will soon be reached.
