RECEIVES LARGE SUM.
Fertilizer Tag Tax VIII Be Nearly
S3OO,OOC This Year.

It is estimated that Clemson Col
lege will receive this year approxi-
mately 100000 from the fertilizer
tag tax. The amount received by
the institution last year was nearly
s25O,O00. 1T is thought that at
least 100000 tons of fertilizer will
be sold to the farmers Of the State
during 1911.
There has been much discussion as
to how the fertilizer examinations
are made. The State is divided into
IA districts, there being an inspec-
tor for each district. During the fer
tilizer season it is the duty Of these
inspectors to draw samples from ev-
cry place where fertilizer is sold in
their districts and to send these SAM
pies to Clemson College for examina-
ton.
Under the law if these samples are
found to be deficient in any manner.
a refund must he made by the ferli-
lizer companies. The samples drawn
by the inspectors are analyZed by eX-
pert chemists. These chemists only
know the samples by number and do
not know the name of the company
manufacturing them as has been
charged

The two and three horse plow, fol-

almost entirely taken the place of

of breaking the land two and three

The farmers have had the very best

they have taken advantage Of the

lMRORTANT MEETING
YOUNG AMERICAS DECIDE TO
GET NEW EQUIPMENT.
Committee Appointed to Solicit SUBJ
scriptions. From the Property Own
ers-Iist Started With $500.

There was quite an enthusiastic
meeting of the Young America Fire
Engine Company Wednesday night.
There was a full attendance of the
members and after finishing up rou-
tine business a general discussion as
70 means to raise funds to purchase
new equipment was entered into.
Some time ago committee OF the
company appeared before city council
and asked that city council aid them
in the purchase of equipment but
with no success. They have now de-
cided to call upon the citizens and
taxpayers and ask for subscriptions
with which to meet the demands OF
the fire service in our growing city.
The Young Americas are the old
est company in the department. For
over fifty years they have given faith
full service to the people of Orange
burg and the citizens of our grow
ing city should see that they get what
they ask for. Their service IS en-
tirely volunteer and the citizens
whose property they protect should
certainly see that they want for moth
ing in equipment.
The company started the list
with a subscription Of $500 from
their private funds and appointed a
committee to solicit subscriptions to
this most worthy cause. Give the
boys what they ask for. They pro-
tect your lives, homes, and other
property so when approached for
that subscription give freely and
whatever amount is raised will be
returned four fold to the citizens of
the town in property saved.
The Ways and Means committee
which will have charge Of the raising
of the funds is composed of Messrs:
II. B. Riggs, J. Izler Sims and Chief
T. o. S. Dibble, who has kindly con-
sented to act as chairman of this
committee. ,.

To Go Before Governor.

The Columbia correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle says there is an
other case that will soon come before
the governor. The case is that Of
John J. Jones, the Branchville at
torney, convicted of killing Abe
Pearlstine and sentenced to 10 years
and 80 days in the state penitentiary.
It has been stated that petition
will be filed with Gov. Blease by cit
liens of Colleton county for the par
don Of Jones. He is at the state pen
itentiary awaiting developments. His
attorneys have stated that an appeal
would be filed with the supreme
court. The status Of this case is
about the same as that Of John Black.
The attorneys in the Black case had
given notice Of appeal, but the case
had never been filed for hearing.

Narrowly escaping death as are
suit of the firing of fusilade OF
bucksho: into his house several
nights ago, Mr.. W.. H. Mitchum, a
resident of the southeastern section
Of Berr eley county, rushed to the
door, after getting his shotgun from
the corner Of the room where ne had

8 unknown man ran rapidly ava" af-
ter the shots we're firsi
The News and Courier says Mr.
Mitchunl, at whom the shots were
fired, is live stock owner, and far
mer in the "Hell Hole" section OF
Berkeley county, and he has been
very pronounced in his expression OF
his views of the people connected III
the recent wholesale stealing Of live
stock hi. Berkeley county. The sec
tiou of Berkeley in which Mr.. Mitch
um lives is exempt from the live
stock ls.w, which requires that the
animals be kept in an enclosure, and
consequently the owners of animals
are allowed to let their stock roam at
large. A great many thefts have
been occurring in that part, of the
county Of late, and Mr.. tMitchum was
one of the foremost of those who
were after the marauders.,. .sl1 7,a
Immediately after the shots were
fred, Mr.. Mitchum grabbed his gun,
rushed, to the door and fred at the
man. st the time he saw but one,
and after the person had gone; ne
inspected the stump behind; which
the man had been crouching, and
there saw that it had been filed
the shot from his gun. He. stated
that, Sc. generally had the shot; scat
tered s.round the stump, that, he IS
certain ne, hit anyone who had been
at all exposed behind it. j.s ;yst .
The attempted assassination, for as
such it is regarded in Berkeley, has
occasioned much excitement, and ev-
cry effort is being made to apprehend
the ones who tried the shooting. The
current opinion is that the shooting
is directly connected with Mr.. Mitch
um's denunciation of the men who
have heen stealing the stock, al
though this Is by no means GER
tainty. Since the night of the first
shooting Mr.. Mitchum has been left
unmolested.
