What's the difference between Thom-
as Phosphate and Basic Stag Shall
! use Thomas Phosphate or Basic
Stag under corn" etc, etc.
Thomas Phosphate is valuable
product Of modified method of steel
manufacture. Briefly this process
consists of the subiccting of the mass
of molten iron, to which certain
amount of Dolmitic Limestone has
been added, to a powerful airblast
which changes the phosphorus in the
iron ore into Phosphate Acid. This
then unites with the lime, forming n
four-lime phosphate, known to chem
lists as tetracaicium, or four-lime phos-
phate (Basic Phosphate).
This process is known as the mod
flied Bessemer, or Basic, process.
Hence the sometime confusion of
terms. For, as a matter of fact, all
Thomas Phosphate is Basic Stag ev-
en- though all Basic Stag is.not Thom-
as Phosphate.

State passed away Tuesday night at
$3.50 o'clock, at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. j. Quitman Marshall,

Brooks was in his 10th year He was
native of Edgefield county, and had
spent the larger portion of his life on
his plantation in that portion of Edge
field county transferred to Greenwood
when the latter county was formed.
Col. Brooks was the youngest of
four brothers, two of whom took a
proninent part in the Mexican War,
the remaining two being equally as
prominent IL the annals of the War
Between the Sections. In addition to

4 Gentleman.
The career of Capt. j. Hampden
Brooks was not distinguished by any
one signal act. He was a brave faith
ful soldier of the Confederacy in his
youth, as were thousands of others,
and he returned hol2e from the war to
meet with the same patience and for
titude the changed conditions that war
had brought. He lived the life of an
upright citizen, and when called on to
serve his people in the State senate. he
was the same quiet, patriotic citizen,
inspired by the highest ideals of Amer
ican citizenship.
But men of his type are fast passing
from US Their lofty conceptions of
public service, their scrupulous regard
for the rights of others, manifested
publicly in the observance Of law and
regard for established government,
and shown privately in gentlemour-
tesy towards men and women and chill
dren. these traits make the gentleman
of the old school," of which Col
Brooks was one.
