GEN. HUERTA ASKS
FOR MEN AND MONEY
President Seems Ready to Negotiate
With Lind-CalIS Wealthy to His,
Aid.

Mexico City, March 1S-Forced by
the increasing seriousness Of the f.
nancial situation in Mexico, President
Huerta at last appears ready to re-
sumo negotiations with John Lind,
President Wilson's personal represent
ative, which were broken off last
August, if reports current in the cap
ital tonight are true. JOS. Lopez Por-
tilloy Rojas, minister of foreign af-
fairs, has been directed to reopen the
unofficial diplomatic exchanges with

Lind is not known. Every effort has
been made to keep the meeting a Sc
cret, and should it fail to take place

PLANTATION already given that the min
lister is taking the trip to celebrate
Saints Day.
President Huerta today summoned
TO the national palace so of the wealth
lest Mexicans residing in the capital,

support would be highly agreeable.

maintain 10 men for purposes Of de-
fence, never has been complied with.

ance of about 100000 men, as it is es-
mated that there are $4,000 haciendas
and smaller ranches within Federal
jurisdiction.
President Huetra also requested

MA be worn by the members to identi-
fy them as being loyal to the govern
men5.
The report t2at a large number of
those who mutinied recently at Jo-
Julia had been executed is based on
verbal statement made by Gen. Jiminez
Castro to tae war minister Gen Cas-
,ro was recalled fl om the military
governorship and reached here to-
day.

Recipe for Happiness.

New York Globe.
Lovely, lissome, laughing Liz,
Do you never, never weep?
Don't you know what trouble is?
Do you laugh, dear, in your sleep?
81 have never seen you frown,
Never known you to complain
Or be in study brown,
Or to sigh that life is vain!
"I'm melancholy wight,
Living in world of moan,
And l don't believe it right
should bear my woes alone.
"Tell me what your secret is,
That you can so cheerful be.
l need your assistance, Liz
Won't you share my lot with me-"
Lovely, laughing Liz upspake:
you would know my source Of joy;
Learn it, then, for goodness sake,
And no longer me annoy!
81 am happy all the time,
Just because 1 am not wed,
Now put that in silly rhyme,
And then beat it, do!" she said.

STCCkEY BILL NOT NECESSARY
Board OF Control Applying Rigorous
Tests For Inferior Materials.
to The Herald and News.

Special to The Herald and News.
Clemson College, March 19.-That
the "S-uckey bill, which sought TO
prevent the use OF inferior materials
in the manufacture OF fertilizers, was
unnecessary is the statement Of H. NJ.
Stacllhouse, secretary Of the State
board Of fertilizer control. Mr.. Sack
house said, speaking Of the bill, that
the board two years ago anticipated
the need of sucn protection 20 buyers
and required an availability of new
ammoniate materials about equal to
cotton seed meal, blood, fish, etc. Mr..
StacNlouse said that the board was al
ready doing what the "Stuckey bill"
would have required and was doing it
in a more economical and practical
way.
CAS- the use and sale of commercial
fertilizers grew" continued Mr.. Stack
house.. the supply of these ammon-
iates would not meet the demand, ex-
cept at prohibitive prices, and manu-
facturers began to introduce and to
use some that were considered infer
ior and Objectionable. Under the gen
eral name of 'tankage', a slaughter
house by product Of tried and we'll
recognized agricultural value, they
began TO use any tank rendered nitro
genous material.
''The chemists of This and o:her sta
tons tell us that some of these pro-
ducts can be treated with sulphuric
acid and made soluble ammoniates
jas, as ground phosphate rock so
trea ed becomes soluble acid phos-
rha e; and some experiments in the
field at the S. C.. experiment station
here gave satisfactory results. But
the board Of control served no;ice Oh
manufactu: ers who offered for sale in
this STATE suca materials that they
must explicitly register such use, ac-
c,mparied by certificate Of analysis
by ssme reputable chemis. nat they
had required availability as plant-food.
The. laboratory at Clemson college
then tests all mixed fertilizers for tae
standard required and 'blacklists and
publishes for the information OF buy
ers any fertilizers found below stand
ard.
These aew ammonia,es cost less to
the manufacturers, who should be
willing to share this difference with
the consumers, and this fact is lead
ing to much of the agitation in favor
of home mixing. To meet this de-
mand, the department has issued two
bulletins giving instructions and all
sorts OF formulas for mixing at home,
which may be had on application 10
Clemson college"
Mr.. ,Stackhouse also stated that the
inspectors are required to weigh pack
ages of fertilizers which they inspect,
especially all that have the appearance
Oh are suspected of weight below that
branded on the packages. Only one
such shipment so far, of u tons, has
been reported this season, which when
weighed out by the inspector was
found short 2,344 pounds. Upon re-
quest the manufacturer promptly ad-
justed and made restitution to the
buyer, as provided by law. Farmers,
said Mr.. Ssackhouse, may rest securely
in the knowledge that the board is
protecting them from fraud of every
sort in the purchase Of fertilizers.

In the race for supervisor Mcssrs
Pitts and White ran exceedingly close
in town. White leading by IL scant "a

rural precincts, securing Il lead of 252
votes with three boxes still TO be heard

suit
The race between Owens and Scale
was also close in town, Scale carrying
all boxes except that i'm Ward 3. In
the county, the boxes from Dalzell.
Rafting Creek, Hagood, Borden and
Stateburg near which places Mr..
Scale formerly lived, went heavily for

result will not be changed by the
boxes not yet heard from.
In Sumter township the race for

I'm the county was that for magistrate
in district No. Z, where the incurn-
bent, j. l.. Gillis, was reelected over

SAYS HOLD COTTON.
President Dabbs of South Carolina
Farmers Union Gives advice to
Growers.

T.. w. Dabbs Of Mayesvillc, prcsi-
dent Of the South Carolina Farmers
union, writes as follows to The Pro-
sressive Farmer of Raleigh:
The greatest good that can be done
now is for every one to talk of the
value of cotton and to strain every
nerve, even to the point of discomfort,
to hold on this valuable product of
our soil and toll until the world calls
for it again. We will find that when
peace is declared cotton will be in
such demand that all the surplus we
may be holding will he in demand at
prices that will make us sick if we
have lei it get into the hands of the
spectators.
Many have asked me what good
have these meetings done? My an
swcr is they are restoring confidence
they are showing our people the alb
@olute folly Of panic. And in the
meantime before cotton comes in
much volume the plans will be ma
turCd to retire all that the spinncrs
will net take at Il profit. We can not
ito our country greater harm than by
repeating and dwelling on low pric @
talk; and next to the open market, we
can not d. greater good than to look
and speak cheerful and hold y ctit,
upper lip.
