They saw the lights of the
floating hotel, on board which,
were the men they loved, dip into
the sea, and glinmer, and disap-
pear.
They were picked up at dawn,
hysterical, and suffering terribly
from the exposure in the bitter
cold and rain.
How many of them ever will
recover their health? How many
of them will keep their sanity?
And all might have been saved.
Had there been sufficient
number of life boats and life RATS
aboard the Titanic it is generally
conceded that not a life would
have been lost.
But the newest, the most luxu-
rious, the greatest of Tran-Atlan-
tic ships, carried only twenty
large, modern lifeboats, and they
were loaded to the gunwhales
with the women and the children.
Most of the men are missing.

had chung desperatelyto the hope
that the Virginian or the Partisan
had picked up survivors.
This hope was revived and
strengthened at II o'clock when
an unsigned wireless message
was picked up on the coast, which
declared that the Virginian had
rescued 400 passengers.
But at noon came the first au-
thoritative message from Captain
Gan1bell, commander of the Vir-
ginian.
There was none left to rescue,
and l proceeded on my voyage"

Five minutes after this mes
sage was received by the stunned
people, Montreal wired that the
Partisan had been reached by
wireless from there, and that
there was not single survivor
aboard that vessel.
That means that the 800 aboard
the Carpathia are all that are left
of the 2,538- who sailed from
Southampton six days ago.
And the 800 are mostly women
and children, who, in accordance
with that unwritten law of the
sea which says that the women
and children shall be given the
first chance of life, were the first
put over the side of the sinking
Titanic.

Dear Sir: Sometime since you
kindly invited me to write an arti-
Gle for publication, explaining with
some detail the inspection and analy-
sis of commercial fertilizers al 10
carried on by Clemson College. very
much appreciate the invitation, and
trust what is given below will prove
Of some value In making understood
a very important work. about which
there is a great deal Of misintorma-
tion.
The laws governing the inspection,
sale and analysis OF fertilizers are
made by the representatives Of the
people in the General Assembly, and
not by Clemson College, as we often
hear. II there are imperfections In
the laws. the College Is certainly not
responsible. 1t is the duty Of the
College to enforce the laws and not to
make them. Now for the purpose Of
enforcing these laws the Fertilizer
Board has provided Secretary, who
has general supervision of everything
pertaining to the inspection and anal
ysis Of the fertilizers sold In the State.
There Is maintained at the College,
a complete and modern laboratory in
which the work is carried on. There
are a number Of expert fertilizer
chemists employed, and all are under
the direct supervision Of the Colleges
Chief Chemist.
The work in the laboratory is d.
vided into three divisions. One. d.
vision makes the analysis for phos-
phoric acid, another for ammonia, and
another for potash, each entirely inde-
pendent of the other, and with no
knowledge whatsoever Of what per-
centage Of plant food has been guar
anteed by the manufacturer
The Fertilizer Board annually
elects force Of competent men from
different sections of the state-twelve
this year-whose duty it Is to take
samples Of every brand Of fertilizer
offered for sale in the State, to see
that the proper label Is on the sack,
and that the package weighs what It
Is guaranteed to weigh. In order to
do this, every depot and siding in the
State Is visited from two to five times
during the season. The Inspector
carries with him a steel trier, about
the length Of the sack With this he
draws samples from one-tenth of the
lot he finds. and after thoroughly
places in a bottle holding
about a quart, seals and aflxes his
name, and the number Of the SAM
pie on the outside Of the bottle. He
then makes complete transcript In
duplicate of the labelling on the ]

turer's guarantee, goes to the Secre-
tary of the Board, but the sample
itself goes to the laboratory for anal
ysis. Mind, that all of the sampling,
mixing, sealing and the making OF
the transcript is done in the pres
ence Of a witness who signs state
ment to that effect. The manufac-
turers' guarantee is filed in the Of
fee Of the Secretary and when the
analysis has been made, the results
are filed with 1t. then once week
during the season, both the guarantee
and what Is found, are written into
bulletin, and thousands Of copies
mailed to farmers throughout the
State. But somebody says that the
analysis is a fake, that the manufac-
turers and the chemists are In collu-
sion to defraud the consumers. To
do this, It would be necessary to cor
rupt practically everybody connected
with the department, a number OF al
most equal to a legal South Carolina
jury But the State has made 1t pos
sible for those who care TO do 90. to
take sample of his own fertilizer,
send It into the College, have It an
alyzed, and get returns on 1t with
out anybody connected with the Col
lege in any capacity, knowing or hav-
ing an opportunity to know who made
it, where 1t was made, or what ia
guaranteed, to do this though, the law
says it must be- done in q certain way
and unless the sample is drawn in
accordance with the law, the College
has no right to analyze same. The
law prescribing Just how this must
be done is contained in Section IT,
Acts 1909, and Section 1, Acts 1911
The essentials to be observed are aa
follows: 1st-Sample must be taken
from one tenth of lot. 2nd-Must be
taken in the presence Of two witness
ses, one for the purchaser and one
for the manufacturer. srd-The
names of the chemicals contained in
the fertilizer must be given, but not
the percentage.

 The first man up for Toronto in the next inning hit for three bases. The next batter followed with tap to the infield. The runner on third decided to take chance on scoring. The play at the plate was very close. Archer had the ball in time to get the runner. but failed tp touch him. I called him safe. Another big argument arose, and I was com pelled to remove Mcconnell and Archer, the Buffalo battery, making a total of nine men elected in one day, which is almost worlds record The fact that everyone of them were members of the home team didn't tend to make me a very popular individual in Buffalo that afternoon a No further scoring was done Toronto winning the game 3 to 2 Some one must have sent in a riot call to the police, for when the game was over it seemed as if every policeman in the world rushed to my aid. I needed the assistance of every one of them to get safely away from that angry mob. I guess if the governor had happened to be at the game he would have called out the state militia. That contest proved that I was anything hut a home umpire, and the players seeing that I intended to run the game left me securely alone. Copyright, W. G. Evans, 1912

When you find it necessary to put seven men out of the game over close de- cision, and in the following inning chase two more over another ruling, you can rest assured that the umpire is having a rather strenuous afternoon. Such was my lot in a game in the Eastern league in 1908. l had only been in the Eastern league three weeks when the trouble took place. No. one knew much about me, u.J until that day. but after that game, was pretty well advertised oyer the league. That afternoon seemed like year to me, but the tactics l adopted that day have since made my work easy.
 The game was played at Buffalo on the afternoon of July 4. 1908, the Toronto club being the contending team. About the seventh inning the score stood to in favor of Toronto. In the last half of the seventh, with one out and one man on the bases, Jimmy Archer, now with the chicabo Cubs, came to the bat. Archer, a big favorite in Buffalo hit a ball down the first base line that went clear to the right field fence. The hit was apparently good for home run. as Whitney, was on the bases as well as Archer, scored on the drive. The crowd went wild as they figured the score was now to in favor of Buffalo. The ball struck foul by inches, and I so called it without the slightest hesitation, but Archer made the circuit.
 When the crowd realized that I had called the hit foul, there was a terrible demonstration on the part of the fans. They threw everything at mo except tho grandstand. The Buffalo players nIade !

Many of those on last years squad will come out for the team, and the coach is confident that he will have one of the best squads that ever repre- sented the Birmtngham High school. E
 A deolorable fact, according to Coach Courlellx, is that there is no public park where the high school team is able to play. and he adds that there should be a place arranged by the city fathers where the youthful aspirants may learn the great game. He says that he has been in many cities but as yet he has 5never seen one where there was not some sort of a field where such stunts could sbe pulled off. f@>-t4 T D It is not known whete the squad will report but it is very probable that the boys will travel to West End at the old Birmingham park. The high school students will support baseball better than any other sport and the Birmingham High School Athletic association is look ing forward to a successful season.
