All brands containing the same an
alysis are practically the same, the
sources from which the nitrogen is
obtained being about the only diff
ference concerning the farmer;
and as it does not pay the Carroll
county farmer to buy the costly
plant food for cotton, it may not
be considered. Judging from my
own experience and that Of several
others who have tested the value
of the different mixtures, / have
come to the conclusion that the
most economical fertilizer that we
can buy for the Carroll county
cotton crop is Is per cent acid phos-
phate. This fertilizer should De
purchased direct from the plant
for about soc per 100 pound bag,
or Sl6 per ton. If bought through
an agent, freight and commission
must be added.
BY using this Is per cent goods
a much smaller quantity may be
applied than when the 1912 grade
lis used. This appears when we
learn that 100 pounds Of the 16
per cent goods contain as much
phosphoric acid as 100 pounds of
the 1919 goods. True, the 1912
goods contain two pounds Of pot
ash in each 100 pounds; but, as |
have said, my experience leads me
to the conclusion that this is not
needed. When YOU buy the 16
per cent acid phosphate you do not
have to pay for any filler or mix
ture. You simply pay for plant
food and the handling of the 81
pounds Of necessary carrier in each
100 pounds.
Sometimes people ask for a for
mula for corn, but a fertilizer
suitable for corn is too costly to
be profitable. / think it best to
put our corn on the fertile bottom
lands and fertilize the hills for
cotton. The richer the land the
more fertilizer we can afford to
use. Thin lands, void of humus,
are net likely to respond we'll to
heavy applications of commercial
fertilizer. Barnyard manure is
the thing to use on such soils be-
cause it will supply the humus
which is wholly lacking in COM
mercial fertilizer. Don't let it 90
to waste. w. N. ALTERNATELY.

QUIT THE RACE
Ex-dOv. Patterson Threw Down
His Nomination

Ex-Governor NJ. Il. Patterson,
the nominee of tho regular demo-
Gratis for the United States senate,
found the nomination a thing Of
no worth and handed it back to
the party who gave it. He quit
the race last week, after being
fully convinced that he had no
possible chance Of being elected.
1t must have been very humiliat-
ing to the distinguished ex-gover-
nor to see the ambition Of his life
crumble to nothing.
Patterson cannot come back and
the sooner his friends admit as
much and recognize him as a back
number, the better it will be for
the party. Men of such selfish
ambition and of so little re-
gard for the party welfare, should
not be a leader of the party.
A Memphis paper gave the fol-
lowing account of Governor Pat
terson's return to that city:
A lonely figure, aged and care
worn, alighted from an NJ, G. &
St. L, train last Friday morning.
With a grip in one hand and an
umbrella in the other, he'threaded
his way through a throng of trav-
elers, to the curb. There was no
one at the station to meet him. A
friend or two he saw at a distance.
he saluted, YEARLY, with a shake
Of his umbrella, and then hailed a
cab. He was going home to a
hotel.
The man was Malcolm r. Pat
terson, former governor of Ten
nessee. He had been to Nashville.
To acquaintance his apparently
detected return was the signal for
defeat. For days he had been
laboring with a stubborn legisla-
ture, seeking the honor of a seat
in the United States senate. On
the eve Of settlement he had given
up the struggle. And he came
back, alone.
There was a time when vast del
egations clamored for the oppor-
tunity to meet him at the railroad
station, when hundreds Of people
cheered his name. None of them
was in evidence Friday morning
His former friends say he has quit.

SHOOTING ARRAY
M L. Chambers Shot BY billiard
crabb Tuesday

A shooting ARRAY occurred near
Buena Vista last Tuesday morning
that gay prove very serious to
one of the parties at least.
NJ. IA Chambers was shot BY
Hilliard} Crabb, d double barrelled
shotgunlbeing used. He shot twice,
but only 'Qne load took effect. 1t
Is ciaimed that Chambers shot
once, usin@ a pistol The facts,
however, have been hard to get.
and we have no statement from
Chambers on from Crabb.
It seems, from best information
we can get, that they met in the
publie road, and the trouble oc-
Cured. no one being present ex-
cept the two. Crabb lisa mail car
lier and was making his round,
driving ahorse to a cart. Cham
bers was riding a horse and was
going to Buena Vista. They met
III the road and three shots were
fired and, we understand, negro
working near BY, claims that the
pistol shot came first and then two
gun shots. We understand that
Crabb claims that Chambers fired
the pistol and he then emptied bis
gun. the first load taking effect,
but as he fired the second time his
horse jumped and he missed his
aim. Chambers rode on to town
and Crabb continued to make his
route, returning to BueiM Vista in
the afternoon,
Some dozen shots or more struck
Chambers in the side, three or
four entered the stomach and one
or two was lodged in the intestines.
A tin matchbox which be carried
gih his pocket, turned the bunch OF
sthe load and saved his life.
Chambers and Cabb have been
on bad terms for some time. The
trouble started nearly three years
ago, when Chambers slapped Csabb
and Crabb had him indicted for an
assault. Chambers was tried and
acquitted. Crabb has made two
unsuccessful efforts to have Cham
bers put under peace bond, the
last effort being made last Friday,
when the case was heard by Squire
McMackins at Hollow Rock. Just
what was said ween the two met
Tuesday is not known, but it is
supposed this matter was brought
up and the shooting followed.
Chambers was taken to Nash
vile Tuesday evening for treat
ment. Five shot, we understand,
were removed from the abdomen
and his physicians say he will re-
cover unless complications arise.

BUILDINGS DAMAGED
Many Narrow Escapes From
Serious Injury

Several persons came very near
losing their lives and considerable
damage was done Saturday after
noon at Milan, when an explosion
Of a gasoline generator and tank
occurred in the store Of Threadgill
& Co.. The blaze caused by the
explosion set fire to the storehouse
and it was badly burned.
A considerable amount of mer-
chandise, which had been hurled
into the street by the force Of the
explosion. was damaged by the
heavy fsin that fell. Much ex-
citemer prevailed during the
while and all of Milan turned out
to witness the conhagration that
resulted from the explosion.
About5:30 O'Clock in the after
noon the generator in the gasoline
plant exploded and threw goods
and articles of merchandise as far
as fifteen or twenty yards. A CROWD
quickly gathered and just as they
were rushing into the burning
building to try to save the goods
that were left there, the gasoline
tank exploded, and the following
men were painfully, but not ser.
iously hurt. j. j. Keston, Ben
Denny, Wade McCallum, w. G.
Christenberry, Wiley Cunningham
and Fred Mathis. 1t is a miracle
that all escaped without serious
injury.
The store was one of the largest
in Milan. The damage is heavy,
but the exact amount of loss sus-
tanned is not known.

Buying Fertilizer

Farmers will soon begin to place
their orders for fertilizer, and wish
to repeat what | said in this paper
last year regarding the care which
should be exercised in order to
avoid spending much money to no
uroft. There are many different
brands on the market, but the
krand is not the thing by which
be governed. All fertilizer
Rmpanies are required BY law to
e the analysis Of their goods on
bags, and these analysis should
lern the farmer in bis purchase,
