About FertiiIii zzl,ers

DR.. Brackett told the writer one
day last spring, coming up on the
train from Columbia, that fish lasted
longer as an ammoniate in fertilizer
than any ammoniate used In making
fertilizer. We have always been
heavy users Of fish, but since DR..
Bracket told us that we have more
than doubled the amount of fish we
use. Fish Is the most expensive am
moniate put in fertilizer. Some fer
tilizer companies don't use 1t at all,
and we probably use more per ton
than any manufacturer in the busi-
ness. In the home-miXed fertilizer,
or the fertilizer you mix at home,
you only get the ammonia from cot
ton seed meal. In the mixed fertili-
ger you get from us the ammonia is
derived from Nitrate Of Soda, Sui
| phate of Ammonia, high grade blood,
! cotton seed meal, tankage and fish
| scrap. You then have three different
| kinds of ammoniates: Animal, Vege-
table and Mineral. These different
ammoniates last different lengths of
time in the soil. Nitrate of Soda
acts quickest and exhausts quickest,
Sulphate Of Ammonia comes next
blood and cotton seed meal next
tankage a little later, because 1t Is a
coarser grain and fish scrap last of
all. and lasts longer than any.
AS one of these exhausts the other
comes in. So that by this combina-
| ton of ammoniates we are making
fertilizer that feeds and nourishes
the crop from the time 1t sprouts all
| through the working season, all
through the laying-by season and un-
til the plant Is maturcd and the CROP
ready to be gathered. This is a com
plete fertilizer.
Now fertilizer with an ammoni-
ate that Is derived from cotton seed
meal only, makes a pretty fertilizer
and it does first rate while it lasts.
The only trouble is the cotton seed
meal eNhauSts and is through with
its work by the time the cotton be-
gins to fruit. Just at the time when
your plant needs more plant food.
more ammonia, your ammoniate is
exhausted and the plant sheds it's
fruit. And that cuts your crop.
There was less home-mixed fertilizer
used in the spring of 1911 than in
any year within our knowledge, and
1t Is well-known fact that cotton
shed less In the year 1911 than any
year within your knowledge, and the
cotton crop Of 1911 was the biggest
this country has ever seen. Cotton
fertilized with home-mixed guano
always sheds like rips in the fruiting
season. And cotton fertilized with a
fertilizer In which fish is largely used
sheds less than any other, and then
besides the home-miXed fertilizer is
not mixed as completely and as thor
oughly as the fertilizer we make.
You could mix 1t as completely and
as thoroughly as we do If you we're
equipped as we are and had the ex-

II 1T pays to use the best fertilizer

You can make more cotton to the

we sell 1T to you for. OF this ton of

Now we leave it to you If that is

Now, If YOU want to make crops.
and that is what this country depends
on, get the best fertilizer. When
they are all about the same price get
the beSt-Set the Anderson Fertili-
Zer. Potash is very necessary in
gredient in making fertilizer. In
200-pound sack of your home-mixed
goods you have about peck of kai-
nit and murate of potash together,
and 1t will be impossible for you to
get this mixed thoroughly. And even
If you mix 1T thoroughly your home
mixed won't be as good as ours, be-
cause you don't use the material to
make 1t as good. When you get our
goods you get 200 pounds and more
to every sack. When a man buys
fertilizer from us he gets 1000
pounds to the ton. Sulphate Of am
monia will cost you $66.50 a ton,
spot cash on delivery. There Is none
Of this used in the home mixed
goods. We use quite a lot of 1t in
making goods which we sell for less
than $50 ton, just to maintain our
reputation of making the best goods
put in sacks.

The express car carried not less

the robbers booty was comparatively
slight, according to officials.
The robbery was the most thrilling
ever known on the Rock Island, and
it has been through many.
Train No. 43 left Memphis at mid
night, westward bound for Little
Rock, On It, among the passengers,
we're the seven men who composed
the gang OF ycggs. AS the train APP
preached the bridge near Hurlburt,
about O'Clock, the bandits drew re-
volvers and compelled the trainmcn
to pull the emergency cord, stopping
the train at once. Two men ran
down and ordered the engine un-
coupled, backing up their orders with
Distols. The engineer ran 1t down
the track a few hundred yards and
stopped. -Four robbers forced an ell
trance to the express car, and the
passengers, aroused by the noise,
were greeted with fusillade Of
shots which kept them inside their
Pullmans. Then followed two eXplo-
sions, lighting the scene for miles
around and shattcring every window
In the train. This demolished the

tiVcs and express company officials
was sent to the scene from Memphis.
Automobiles were Communicated to
scour the countryside. On account
or the slight lapse Of time between
the hold-up and the start OF the pur-
suit, officers were confident that the
men would soon be captured.
Owing to the darkness the train
men could not say definitely which
direction the robbers took.
1t is believed the men were not
experienced in the use of dynamite,
owing to the fact that they used
charges big enough to wreck the
train. Experienced bandits, it was
pointed out, would have used a
charge Of barely sufficient force to
wreck tke safe, so as not to alarm
the ne!ghboring country.
The bandits cut all telegraph and
telephone wires between Memphis,
Hurlburt and Little Rock.

here admitted this afternoon .hat a
money chest containing $780, 900
was taken by the bandits who held
up the Rock Island westbound train
near liurlburt, Ark. this morning.
IL Is now believed that the robbers
safely made off with the booty, and
probably obtained other money be-
SIDES that in the missing chest.

ON WAY TO HOME AND HEALTH.
Banker G.. w. Morse Passed Through
Grccnyille Last Week.
(Greenville Piedmont.)


Charles w. Morse, the New York
banker and ice king, whose sentence
OF fifteen years in the Federal prison
in Atlanta for violation Of the bank
Ing laws was recently commuted be-
cause Of i'll health, passed through
Greenville Wednesday night on the
Birmingham Special at $40 o'clock.
Mr.. Morse was accompanied by his
wife. They occupied a stateroom on
the rear car Of the train.
Representatives of the Daily Pied
mont and the Greenville News, armed
with kilograms from the New York
Times and the New York Sun, re-
questing a statement from Mr.. Morse
as to his future plans, boarded the
train for the purpose Of interview
ing Mr.. Morse. However, efforts to
secure statement from him were
unsuccessful, as he had retired for
the night. Mrs. Morse likewise de-
,,lined to make any statement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morse left Atlanta
Wednesday afternoon at 2.40 o'clock.
Though 1t was generally known that
he banker would leave in a few days,
The exact time Of his departure was
ltept a secret. Immediately after his
departure the information that he
had left Atlanta was tclcgraphed to
he New York papers. These papers,
thinking they could get statement
rom Mr.. Morse before he retired for
he night, wired the local press to
interview him.
Upon arrival in New York Mr.
Horse will recupcrate from his trip
md then sail for Germany with Mrs
Morse. They will go to Bad Nau-
him, a resort 20 miles north Of
i'rankfort-on-the-M Main, noted for it's
oaths, which are especially suited to
natients suffering from heart compli-
ations. Mr.. Morse has been there
vice before and knows the value Of
he treatment.
He is suffering from disease
which, it is believed, cannot be cured
n his case, but may be arrested for
ONE time to come. The immense re-
ief Of mind, now that he Is relieved
+ the perpetual anguish of realizing
fimseif a prisoner, coupled with the
'eneficial effects Of the German wa
tering place, are expected and hoped
ID work great things for the banker.
Whether he will ever again enter
