WORK BEING DONE
ON lNTERURBAN TROLLEY

GREENvILLE. 8. c.. May 2o.-Since
early in the week the Oliver Construc-
ton company. contractors for the In
cerurban electric line from Greenwood
to Greenville. have been working day
and night shifts along the line at sew
eral points. One of the foremen In the
city today declared he had never seen
york go forward at such rapid pace,
and expressed the opinion that the grad
Ing would be complete and the roadbed
ready for rails by August 1. and prob
ably before.
Surveyors have about completed the
surveys from Greenville to Spartanburg
and it is expected that this route VIII
be determined within the next few
weeks. Two routes have been gone over
One leading by Greer, the other via
Reidville, the latter having the advan-
tage of being about seven miles shorter,
1t Is said There is much rivalry be-
tween Greer and Reidville in the mat
ter of choice of routes. and from pres
emit indications, 1t looks as If Reidville
mad the best Of it.
1t is generally believed that If the
roadbed is ready for rails between
Creenville by August 1. the first train
over the line will come into this city
by october /.
Announcement is expected any day in
this city concerning the beginning of
construction work on terminal facilt-
ties. All those who have sold proper
ty to the interurban have been notified
to vacate. and this probably means
that the work OF tearing away resi-
dences to make way for depots and

TO HOLD MASS MEETING

FITZGERALD, Ca. May 2O.--From IN

must certainly mark the advent of q
new and most important era in the
commercial existence of this city.
Pursuant to a call of citizens and q
proclamation of the mayor. all business
houses were closed, at 4 O'Clock p. m.
and practically all the business men of
the city assembled at the county court
house in mass meeting to take definite
action with regard to securing the Ocii-
la Southern railway and the Odd Fellows
Orphans home. Enthusiastic speeches
were made by prominent men and gold
en- shekels were pledged In what Is be-
lieved TO be sufficient quantities to land
both prizes.
Quite a liberal block Of stock of the
Ocilla Southern was subscribed for by
local capitalists while the committee to
the Odd Fellows grand lodge was en-
powered to present a most attractive
offer for the location here of their home.

BEFORE CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, May 2O-Represent-
alive Kendall. of Iowa, today called the
official attention of the house to a
slip" in a speech made by Representa-

was printed in the Congressional Rec

back to civil war times by using the
expression stars and bars" instead of

The reference occurred in the last
paragraph of his speech as follows:
"In a great country like ours,
stretching from ocean to ocean, from
lake to gulf, embracing within It's linn
it's every kind of soil. capable Of pro-

trade privileges of the greatest govern

Mr. Gudgers speech referred to the

ly passed the house. Mr.. Kendall said
he would leave the matter to the house
for determination. The house did moth

IS MADE
IN POTASH ARGUMENT
Contracts Between German
Syndicate and American
Firms Signed at Last
tBy Associated Press.)

(6y Associated Ereaasl
HAMBURG, May 2o.-The first stage
has been concluded and the contracts
between the American firms and the
German syndicate, agreed upon at the
conference here May rs were signed to-
night
The second, ana for the Americans,
the most difficult stage will begin Nom
day, when negotiations will be opened
at Berlin with the Independent German
mines whose contracts with Americans
are responsible for the present German
potash law The supercontingent tax
problem was not in the Hamburg ne
gotiations because this ta1 Affects only
contracts concluded outside OF the syn
dicate. 1t applies to these independent
contracts. which have several years to
run.
The German contractors insist that
the American firms are responsible for
the tax and efforts will probably be
made by the government and the Ger
man syndicate to bring about a cancella-
ton or modification of these contracts.
If it is found impossible there will
likely be a legal struggle to test the val
idity of the law.
An official statement given to the
press says that the contracts will run
until the end of 1915. The price OF
concentrated salts will correspond with
that provided by the potash law, but
higher prices will be demanded on lower
grades.
The contracts recognize the right OF
the syndicate to advance prices by a
maximum Of per cent in January, 1914.
and another per cent in January, 1915
The American companies bind them
selves to buy exclusively from the syn
dictate, the latter to use its good offices

American and the Aschersleben and Soll-
tedt mines regarding the payment OF

nav to apply as a top dressing7 The
land will make one bale Of cotton to
the acre with 200 or 800 pounds of
fertilizer.
You have prepared your land well, and
is was good practice to use 300 pounds
of a 1884 under the drill row at the
time Of planting. 1t was not so desir-
able to use cotton seed however, as
they are worth more to you as a source
of revenue If exchanged for meal and
the oil contained in them will be Of no
benefit to the crop since all plants have
the ability to secure carbon, oxygen and
hydrogen directly or indirectly from the
air It occurs to US that a side appltca-
ton of 200 pounds of the same formula
made about the 10th Of May, and an
other about the 25th, with 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda from the 10 to 18th
of June, would be about the right meth
cd of fertilization to follow with this
crop. Where the complete fertilizer is
used it may be scattered ahead Of the
cultivator and covered lightly into the
soil, thus Incorporating 1t with the
land at single operation. The nitrate
Of soda, however. should be sown along
side the drill rows and on top of the
ground. The moisture in the soil will

it because the nitrogen In this material
is in an Immediately available form.
Whatley Prolific is one of the best OF
the prolific varieties of corn according
to tests we have made here We or
dinarily plant in rows about three
and half to four feet apart. depending
on the richness of the soi1 and leave
it from twelve to twenty-four inches

mined largely by the crop yielding ca
pacity of the land. You understand, of
course that a bale of cotton with the
seed will not take out Of the soil nearly
as much plant food as fifty bushels of
corn with the fodder required TO pro-
duoed this yield. In other words. corn
is a much more exhaustive crop to the
soil and must be fortified more heavily
on that account. The careful and thor

PLANTING PEANUTS In CORN
ROWS.
H T. M, Fish, Ga, writes: I am a

acres red soil and about 20 acres dark
gray sandy. l aim to plant half In
cotton and half in corn. Would IL
pay to plant ground between the corn
rows? What fertilizers would you adj
wise me to use?
With regard to your proposition of
planting 20 acres of red land in cotton
and 20 acres OF dark dray sandy land
in corn, the following suggestions may
be of some service: On the cotton lana
use 500 TO 600 pounds of an 1874 fer
tilizer. If you have observed a tendency
in the cotton to rust, then increase the
potash to or per cent. on the
corn land use a 1885 at the rate of
500 pounds per acre with 200 pounds
as a side application when the crop is
about half grown. You should also be
prepared TO put 100 pounds OF nitrate
OF soda as a top dressing on Dotn the
cotton and corn 1t should be put on
the. cotton about the 18th Of June, and
on the corn when IL is sillking and tas-
selling, as stimulation at these tin4~~
is a very important matter in securing q
which may be broadcasted or better still.
incorporated under the drill row for
both corn and cotton will tend to insure
a more profitable yield.
Ground peas could hardly be planted
in between the rows of corn to any ad-
vantage. II would be better 20 plant
them on a separate area and use the
cowpeas between the corn rows, but If
one is after a large yield Of grain or
hay. the cowpeas had better be plant
ed by themselves. for If the corn does
well, it will shade the ground so much
that the peas will not make a good
growth The gray sandy land to which
you refer is likely to be low in phos-
phorus and potash. and on this account
a larger application of a nIgn-grade FER
tilizer has been suggested for this soil.
OF the cotton varieties you will find
the Culpepper, Z Uncle Sam, Layton.
Cooks, Cleveland, Russell and Poulnot,
and other standard varieties adapted to
your section. OF corn some of the pro-
life sorts as Whatley's. Hastings and
Marlboro are likely to prove the most

Grafton of Memorial Day by such holiday stunts a IS were pulled off at
indianapolis and many other place thruout the country. The
veterans of Chicago proposed to march on grand parade on Memorial
day in the city of Chicago. Lo, and Behold, some enterprsing man
who had never heard of the Civil War, or the Grand Army of Repub-
lie, got upa parade of work horses on that day and proposed to di-
vide honors with the old soldiers. The old veterans got n their
ear and said if the horses paraded the streets they would not. Then
the papers took the matter up O N behalf of the old soldiers and the re-
suit was that the horses did not parade, but the veterans did.
Memorial Day has become national. 1t was, primarily, a day
set apart to remember those who died in the civil wal, but it has
grown and broadened until it now serves a s a day, when all the dead,
civilian as well as soldier, is remembered with flowers, which is really
| a noble thing. Its a pity if we cannot give up one day out of the
year to the memory of those who, once our living, helpful, companions
in lifes labors, have passed over, and whose poor, wornout bodies lie
in the graveyard.

The Way of the Spaniard

Those Spaniards have a N effective way of pulling off their loving
stunts. Witness President Diaz, about to depart for Spain. He
gets out in the open with his body guard in front of him and proceeds
to bid them farewell. Then he falls on the neck of the officers and
hugs them. Witness Madero, leaving for the capitol, to take charge
of the country he has just won. Out in the open, to be see of
every man, he and his officers weep and fall on each others necks and
do a hugging stunt, and everybody says to everybody else: Just see
how they love one another" An Englishman, a German or an
American would not do that, no matter how he loved his fellow men,
nor how deep his grief at parting. We leave this out-in-the-open-
hugging to ur women folks, and they always do us credit.

President Merics, of the University of Wyoming, made a really
splendid address here at our commencement exercises. He seems
have enthused all who heard him, judging by the many who have
spoken of his address and the manner it affected them. His de-
scription of the way the sweHering traveller feels, coming up from the
steaming atmosphere of Illinois and Iowa, thru Nebraska until he
strikes the breeze from the mountains coming down to meet him,
and how it thrills him and sends new life pulsing thru his veins, was
peculiarly happy. And it is true, too, and many of the people who
heard his address on the great beauties and advantages of Wyoming
have registered a vow to quit knocking and go to boosting.
