MRS EDDY'S WILL INVALID.
Her Boqucst of $4,000, 900 to Christian
Science Church Declared Void Un-
der New Hampshire Law.

Concord, n. H., Jan. 12.-That the
residuary clause in the will Of Mrs.
Mary Baker G.. Eddy, founder of the
Christian Science church, is null and
void, is the opinion Of eX- United
States Senator VIM. e. Chandler,
Hannis Taylor Of Washington, pro-
fessor Of constitutional and interna-
tional law of George Washington
university, and others, as given Tor
publication here today The caluse
provides for a gift of about $1,000
600 to the First Church of Christ,
Scientists, of Boston, known as the
mother church."
A statute Of New Hampshire pro-
hibiting a bequest to a church of over
$4,000 annually is the basis OF the
opinion, which is written by Prof
Taylor.
The 100000 covered in the void
clause, says Mr.. Taylor, is to be dis
tributed by Mrs. Eddys next of kin
in accordance with the laws Of New
Hampshire. He advises the heirs to
have the will probated and then leave
it to the courts to decide whether the
residuary clause is valid.

kERSHAW DESIRES TO HOLD

Camden Chamber of Commerce
rights Proposition of Allowing Cit

Hagood, Jan. 16.-In regard to the
proposition to annex a considerable
portion Of Kershaw county to Sumter
county. the Camden Chamber of

leave Kershaw to attend meeting in
Camden in order to see IL induce

has been interesting himself in hav-
Ing the petitions sent to those desiring
TO como into Sumter county. and 9TH
erwise assisting towards accomplish
ing the annexation, said Saturday

business men. although he had last
week requested a special committee
from the Sumter chamber of commerce

tho citizens who wish to leave Ker-
shaw for Sumter.
Camden is "hot in the collar" as
n citizen from that city expresses IL,
and is going to put up a pretty stiif
fight 10 hold her territory. But If
Sumter wants that very desirable slice
of kershaw land with a number of
the most up-to-date, intelligent and
clever land owners, the business men
will have TO cooperate with Messrs.

ers by showing the Kershaw citizens
that Sumter county will welcome

The report Of the commission saws
that should the territory in question
be annexed to Richland county that
there will remain in Kershaw county
more than $1,000 inhabitants, that
the value of the taxable property will
exceed 100000 and that the coun-
ty line will not run within eight miles
of a county court house.
The territory which it is proposed
to annex to Richland county from
Kershaw' is described as follows: Be
ginning at the point where the Ker-
shawl Fairfield county line intersects
the Richland county line; thence
south, 1880 east 60,547 feet, along

best mechanical condition by starting
now to plow deeper so that in three
years you will have doubled the depth
of your soil.
Second, by adding humus TO your
soil, which is not frtilizer, but only
the fertilizer available to the plant.
Third, by rotation of crops to pre-
mt the exhaustion Of humus con-
serving the fertilizer and to help kill
fungi disease and to destroy the nat.
ural pests which only multiply and
thrive when the same plant conditions
are furnished them each succeeding
season.
Fourth, by the use of commercial
fertilizer.
Our Southern lands are practically
exhausted of plant food. Years of
farming have stolen from the soil
more fertilizer ingredients than we
have placed back upon the land. To
get the maximum production per acre
you must have an excess of plant
food. You can not economically by
one maximum application in one year
replenish the soil.
You must gradually increase the
amount Of fertilizers in your worn-out
soil and by proper attention to rota-
ton in few years bring up the pro-
ductiveness of your soil to point
where bale per acre would be the
rule and not the exception.
1t will not pay you to raise cotton
under the additional expenses incurred
In lighting the weevil on any land that
does not produce as much as one-half
bale to an acre, in spite of the weevil.
The prospects are that the advent of
the devastating enemy will continue
to keep the price of cotton to a high
figure, and that those who can pro-
duce cotton in spite of the weevil viii
still find it a most profitable cr5D.
The whole key to the situation rests
in renewing the vigor of your land.
Rotation and high fertilization are
your only means; one can not sue
ceed without the other.
This is the South Georgia and South
Alabama proposition today. You have
only few seasons at best to prepare.
