cries, and stepped to the rear of the

sounded as If some one called his

minutes after he stopped he heard

time and his thought to it certainly
knows more about it than the col
ored brother knows who mixes a few
tons every few years in the spring of
, the year.
Now, if you want 10 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-get the Anderson Fertili-
Zer. Potash is very necessary in
gredicnt in making fertilizer. In a.
2O0-pound sack Of your home-mixed
goods you have about peck Of kai-
nit and muriate 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
I 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 it in
| making goods which we sell for less
| than $50 ton, just to maintain our
reputation Of making the best goods
put in sacks.
Fertilizer ammoniated with nitrate
or soda, sulphate Of ammonia, high
grade blood, high-grade tankage, cot
ton seed meal and fish scrap Is great
deal better goods and will make
great deal better crops than a fertili-
ger ammoniated with cotton seed
meal only.
| You have been charging your en-
| tire bill for fertilizer to your cotton
crop, when as matter Of fact you
nave used this fertilizer under corn,
peas, cane, turnips, and everything
| else you have planted. You have
made good crops Of these where you
have planted. You have made good
| crops OF these where you would have
made very little without it, and have
charged the whole expense to the
cotton crop.
II. w. McCarley tolls rs that one
sixth Of his cotton crop will pay for
the fertilizer used under his cotton.
J. s. Fowler says a farmer makes
a mistake in trying to mix his own
fertilizer.
Mixing your fertilizer at home is a
very pretty theory, but it won't make
the right kind Of crops. Pen petual
motion is a beautiful theory, but it
has never worked.

-FOUR MEN SENT UP IN CASE.
VIII BE Tried In May-Allegcd Sluy-
cIS OF Doc WelDorn.

Anderson, Feb. 15.-H. w. Hol-
| combc, ex-chief Of police Of Town
Vile, and Justin Woolbright, A. b.
Spears and Jim Baldwin, who are
charged with the murder of white
man named Doc Welborn, were
bound over 10 the higher court We'd
/ nesday by Magistrate Muldrow after
a preliminary hearing. Judge Men,
minger granted bail in the sum of
| $4,000 for Holcombe and Woolbright
and $1,000 for Spears and Baldwin.
Three well known citizens Of Town
vile signed their bonds and the men
we're released.
Doc Welborn was arrested by
these four men at Townville on the
night Of November ~, 1910, on the
charge OF drunkenness and disorder
ly conduct. After being locked in
the Townville guard-house by Chief
l1olcombe, assisted by the other
three defendants in tho case, the
guard-house was burned, and the
charred remains Of Wclborn we're
found In the ashes. NJ. C. Long, for
mcrly court stenographer, but now
practlcing law In Walhalla, was ap-
pealed to by members Of Welbnrn' 8
family and started an Investigation
which resulted in the arrest Of these
four men.
Mr.. Long represented the State
at the preliminary hearing to-day and
he introduced testimony to show that
Wclborn's skull had been crushed be-
fore the body was burned, thus
charging the murder of Welborn to
the officers who arrested him, and
who are alleged to have beat him
over the head while taking him to
the guard-house. The supposition is
| that Wclborn died from wounds in
fiictcd by the officers and that the
| officers set fire to the guard-housc to
| hide their crime.
The coroner's jury inquiring into
Wciborn'S death at the time return
cd verdict that Welborn set fire
to the Smard-house in attempting to
escape.
After the four men were bound
over to the higher court this after
noon, Mr.. Long gave a statement to
the press in which he charged that
he had furnished Solicitor Bonham
and Governor Blcasc with copies of
| the testimony OF several witnesses
when he started the investigation
| into the case several months ago,
and had urged that an investigation
be prosecuted. Mr.. Long says in his
statement that he did not receive a
reply from either Of these gentle
men. and states further that certain
men whose duty it is to ferret out
and uncover crime, blocked and
hindcred him in his investigation.
Mr.. Long was asked to work UP
the case by the grand jury and did
SO without fee and at his own en-
pensc, and In his statement this af-
tcrnoon he says he intends to have
nothing further to do with the case
as 1t IS the duty Of the officers of the
law to carry the case to its compile.
tton. The case has attracted Il great
deal of attention, and it's outcome in
the May session Of the court will be
awaited with intense interest. The
men charged with the murder are
we'll known citizens Of the county.

ARRESTS MADE by WHOLESALj3.
Practically Entire international Asso-
citation Taken Into Custody.

Indianapolis. Ind, FEB. 15.-Thc
United States government Wedncs-
day arrested almost all Of the Sd
men indicted In the dynamite con-
spiracy cases.
1t took into custody within few
hours practically the entire official
staff Of the international Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers. including the chief officers, mem
bers of the executive board and
about twenty business agents and
former business agents. Those in
cluded Frank NJ. Ryan, president;
John n. Butler, Buffalo, N. Y. first
vice president, and II. S. Hockin,
second vice president and seccessor
to J. J. Mcnamara, as secrctary-trea-
surer. Each Of these men was re-
quired to give $4,000 bond for his
appearance for arraignment here
with all the other defendants on
March 18th.
More than forty OF the men. chiefly
labor union officials, who are charged
with conspiring to destroy by dyna-
mite or nitro-glycerine the property
OF employers of non-union labor,
were under arrest by tonight, and
it was declared the apprehension Of
all the others would follow within 4S
hours.
BY It's action the government re-
vealcd the Identities Of the men
whom It charges with being the &C
completes Of the McNamaras and
Ortie E. McManigal In the dynamite
plots, embracing almost 100 eXplo-
sions, which were begun in Massa-

Mine Cars Of Pennsylvania Limited
DcIuiIed Near Huntingdon.

Huntingdon, Pa, Feb. 16.-Three
PERSONS were killed and 81 injured
yesterday when the Pennsylvania
Limited, eastbound, jumped the track
ut Warrior Ridge, a short distance
west Of this place. and nine OF the
eleven cars rolled down an emDank-
menL to the edge Of the Junlata
river.
OF the 81 persons who were given
atteNtion at the local hospital TO-
day. twenty Of them were able to
leave the institution tonight. or the
3 remaining three are said to be
fatally injured. These three men
wore badly scalded and bruised, one
having his head crushed.
l,unning Fifty Niles An Hour.
Warrior Ridge, where the accident
orcnrred, is in the beautiful Juniata
valley, and the Pennsylvania rail-
road tracks wind along the Juniata
river. The train, consisting of ten
pNsy enger cars and a postal coach,
ieit Altoona, 80 miles west OF the
scone of the accident, more than an
llour late. At the time Of the disas-
,ur, it is said, the limited was going
at he rate Of fifty miles an hour. AS
lue heavy train, drawn by two
locomotives, neared Warriors Ridge,
tho euualiZing bar on the second To-
comotive dropped to the rails. This
bay is over the trailer wheel and

f'he first car passed over the OBJ
st'uction, but nine succeeding cars
Jumped the tracks and dropped down
the embankment to the brink of the

This Is said to the first time on

good because it won't be mixed as
regularly, and as thoroughly and
completely as our goods. Last spring
cotton was high and the farmer felt
like he could use the best grade Of
fertilizer so he did no home-mixing.
He got his goods already mixed be-
cause he knew they were better. Now
If 1t pays to use the best fertilizer
when cotton is high, it pays still bet
ter when cotto. is at its present price,
because when coffin is cheap it must
be, made cheaper to get profit.
You can make more cotton to the
acre with ready mixed goods than
with home-mixed goods and the more
you make to the acre the cheaper
you make it. Now you may get up
home-mixed S-33, or what you
think Is 1913, for 81 a ton less than
we sell 1t to you for. OF this ton Of
guano you use 400 pounds to the
acre-as most of you do-you ought
TO use 500, but most of you use 400.
Using 400 pounds to the acre ton
Will cover five acres. Now that Is
reducing the cost Of your fertilizer
AZ cents an acre. You can tell the diff
ference In crops fertilized with some
mixed goods and crops fertilized with
ready-mixed goods riding along the
road. Good farmers WHO are close
observers say there must be at least
800 pounds of seed cotton difference
III the crop before the difference can
be noticed riding by. Now this Diff
ference of 800 pounds Of seed cotton
VIII make more than 100 pounds OF
lint cotton. This 100 pounds of extra.
lint cotton that you make by using
ready mixed goods will bring you at
present prices between 50 and $40,
ana this 50 or $40 is made at an ex-
Dense of forty cents. BY withholding
TINS 40 cents to the acre you decrease
your income from an acre of land be-
tween 50 and $40.
Now we leave it to you if that Is
good business and good farming. The
money you pay out for fertilizer is
the pest investment you can make OH
farm. 1t is the cheapest labor you
employ. 1t Is the only labor you can
depend on putting in "a hours a day,
seven days in the week, during the
whole crop period.
1t gets in its work Sundays, holi-
days, rainy days and Saturdays of "a
hours day, seven days in the week,
from the time you plant your croD
until you gather it.
If you use the same material in
making home-mixed fertilizer that
we do, 1t will cost you more than we
ask Tor ours. The reasons you make
1t cheaper Is because you use cotton
seed meal only as source Of am
monia and that is one of the cheapest
ammoniates used in manufactured
fertilizer, and it gives out just when
1T is most needed.
Now, confidentially, you let the
other fellow use his little home-mix-
ed goods and you buy your fertilizer
from the Anderson Fertilizer Com
pany, and make crops. Let the crowd
use any fertilizer they want to, and
YOU use the best you can get because
the best is the cheapest. If you fol-
