Mrs. La Toilette, wife of Senator
La Toilette, deserves the gratitude of
the Afro-American people for her
courage in fighting segregation. She
has even endangered her husbands
chances for the presidency, but she
did not hesitate. Knowing that she
was right she dared to champion the
cause of the oppressed.

Now what do you think of this :?
Robert Threat of Arkansas was &C
cused of mistreating 14-year-old
white GIRL He was sentenced to hang
last July, but appealed to the Su-
prem eCourt and was granted new
trial and last week was sentenced to
20 years Imprisonment. It is strange
that he ever had trial and stranger
still that after being sentenced to
hang he was allowed to escape that
penalty. Are the bloodthirsty South
erners getting better?

tatoes run to foliage rather than tub

fertilizer is required on heavy soils,

Widow of John Fitzgerald is Given
Heavy Verdict.

Charleston, April 18.-Damages in
the sum of $4,000 in favor Of Mrs.
Kate Fitzgerald in her suit against
the J. |. Case Threshing Machine
Company were awarded by the jury
charged with the case in the court of
common pleas yesterday. The plain
tiff filed suit for $4,000 for the
death of her husband, John Fltz-
gerald, about two years ago, which
was the result of his being run over
by an automobile driven by an agent
of the Case company. The complaint
of the plaintiff claimed that the ac-
cident was due to the negligence of
the driver of the automobile. The de-
fence maintained that the deceased
came to his death through his own
fault, alleging that he jumped direct
ly in front of the automobile from
the rear of a wagon on which he was
riding at the time of the occurrence.

Once Too Often.

When Josephus Daniels, secretary
of the navy, was attending school
down at Wilson, N. c., it was GUS
tomary every Friday afternoon for
one section of the school to give de-
carnations from the platform. One
Friday a dozen of the boys, compris-
ing all that were to speak that day,
got their heads together and con-
ceived the merry prank of all giving
the same speech, one after another.
The speech they were to give was
the one that starts: "On Linden when
the sun was low, all bloodless lay the
untrodden snow" etc.
By the time eight or nine of the
jocular youngsters had given those
imperishable lines, the schoolmaster
was aroused to considerable state
of ire and dignity.
He sat through one or two more
and then when the twelfth boy was
about to speak, he promulgated these
tidings:
'If another one of you dares give
that same piece, he will remain after
school and I shall give him something
that will set him thinking"
Josephus Daniels was the next boy.
He and his companions had entered
into solemn compact all to give that
same little piece, come what might.
AS he ascended the platform and gaz-
ed at the eager young faces of his &C
completes, Josephus greatly disliked
to be untrue to his pledge. And yet a
glance at the grim countenance OF
the schoolmaster suggested to him
that pledges were made to be broken
when unforeseen circumstances war
ranted.
It was trying situation. For some
moments he stood there Wavering,
discretion yanking at the anchor OF
duty.
And 10, duty held!
Manfully the brave little chap be-
gan:
"On Linden when the sun was

NOT GOOD EXCUSE.
Deficient Memory Owing to Bad
Health No Excuse.

Columbia, April 16.-"A trained
man of business may not with i'm
punity do an act which he ought to
have known was wrong and which
was wrong, and then say that he did
not know" says Associate Justice
Gage, in affirming the lower court,
in refusing e. motion of the defendant
to set aside Judgment in the case Of
the Farmers Bank of Mccormick, re-
spondent, against John L. Talbert,
appellant-defendant.
The appeal involves practically
only one issue,' the opinion states.
Though there are seven exceptions.
The plaintiff got by default judg-
ment against the defendant for ST.
120.4O. Within thirty days thereaf-
ter the defendant moved under Sec
ton 225 of the Code of Procedure
to set the judgment aside and for
leave to answer. The motion was re-
fused and the defendant appeals.
Plain to Court.
Continuing, the opinion reads as
follows: 1T is plain the court below
did not abuse it's discretion to refuse
the motion and that is sufficient now
to sustain the order which was
made"
The opinion states that the de-
fendant admitted service of summons
and complaint but failed to answer,
alleging that deficient memory con-
sequent upon bad health was the
cause of his failure to answer. The
opinion held that the clear prepon-
derance of testimony is against the
defendant on the issue of bad health
and memory. The defendant tender
ed only one witness outside Of his
family, while the plaintiff introduc-
ed eight.
1t seems from the wording of the
opinion that he had dealings regard
ing the sale of cotton with one Sail
as at Augusta and one Frost at
Charleston and drew doubly upon the
purchaser for the price of seven bales
of cotton. 1t seems that the defend
ant drew on Salinas with bill of lad
ing attached for the value of the cot
ton, and on the same day also drew
on Salinas another draft which COW
cred other purchases of that day,
that he overlooked the fact that he
had drawn for the seven bales al
ready and included those seven bales
in the second draft only by
mistake. according to the reply of the
defendant
And the defendant seeks further
to save himself from the badge of
fraud by saying that he drew on the
plaintiff checks in favor of the ven
dors of the seven bales" says the
opinion.

Luminous Road Beds.

At a recent conference of European
specialists upon road paving, it was
suggested that one of the most mate
rial problems to be solved by those
in charge of developing modern thor
oughfares was the devising of more
certain means for the avoidance of
street collisions at night between We
hicles and pedestrians. The ques-
tion was raised as to how
the road beds might be made
more luminous, or their sur
faces best prepared for the greatest
possible reflection of light, so that
approaching objects might be dis
tinctly visible at considerable dis
tances. The increase in swift, silent
automobile traffic, it was suggested,
made the study of this phase of road
building an urgent matter.
Dark road surfaces reflect but lit
tie of the light which falls upon
them On such roadways, the horse
and wagon, and the pedestrian first
become visible to the motor driver,
tearing along in his machine many
miles the hour, when he comes fair
ly upon them in his path. Where
the surface of the roadway is light
the dark objects upon it loom up
plainly while yet long distances
away. The surfaces of many Of the
driveways laid out in this country
reflect as low as 10 per cent of the
light falling on them, or less, and
their effectual concealment of dark
colored objects largely promotes
chances for collisions.

Montague Glass was lunchlng
with two of his cloak and suit mer-

more. Consequently, when the far
mer buys a ton of the fertilizer. he
gets along with it 1920 pounds of
dead weight, added to give bulk, on
which he must pay the freight.
The farmer who is preparing to use
commercial fertilizer can save money
by buying his chemicals in concen-
trated form and mixing them him
self, which can be done in a box or
on a platform with a hoe and sand
sitter just as we'll as it is done in
the factory. The filters" in COM
mercial fertilizers are of no value to
the land, and may be actually harm
full. For convenience in distributing
the farmer can just as we'll supply
his own filler of any kind of soil if
any soil is needed, which is not like
ly, as there usually is an abundance
of filler naturally associated with
the materials used in making fertili-
zers. Materials for home mixing can
be mad of wholesale dealers in seeds
and farm supplies.
The term complete fertilizer sig
nifies that the mixed product is sup
posed to contain, for whatever use it
is intended, the proper percentage OF
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
Any two ingredients makes an in
complete fertilizer, which under GER
tain conditions may be better for a
certain use than complete. For
example, if land is rich in nitrogen
from the growth of peas, clover or al
falfa, it may require only the addi-
ton of phosphoric acid and potash.
Manufacturers sometimes indicate on
the containing sacks the nitrogen in
their fertilizers as ammonia The fig
ures giving the ammonia content look
larger, as ammonia is hybrid of nit
rogen and is only part nitrogen, the
substance the farmer is after. A sack
branded "3 per cent ammonia" really
means that the fertilizer contains
2.47 per cent nitrogen The actual
nitrogen in a given ammonia content
may be determined by multiplying
the ammonia figure by 0.S235.
In mixing commercial fertilizers
at home, it is better to procure the
potash used in sulphate form, as it
is superior to muriate of potash for
the purpose. Of the ready mixed
commercial preparations, here are
some standard tables of proportions
for various crops, and the amount re-
commended by the dealers for use
per acre:
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1914-04-23

500 pounds to an acre.
Where the soil is inclined to be
heavy, commercial fertilizers usually
are placed in the hills at planting
time. In sandy soils it may be ap-
piled to the surface of the ground af-
ter planting. Fertilizing attachments
may be had on practically all plant
erS.
That Valuable Barnyard Manure.
When you grow tired of figuring
the cost of commercial fertilizers,
Mr.. Farmer, cheer yourself up with a
consideration of these figures, show
ing the value of barnyard manure
produced on your own place.
Sheep produce manure worth $3.50
ton and for every thousand pounds
live weight produce S26 annually.
Calves, for each one thousand
pounds live weight, produce s24.43
in manure annually, the product be-
ing worth S21S a ton.
Cows daily produce 74.1 pounds OF
/ manure a day for each one thousand
pounds live weight. worth s2.02 a
ton, or s2027 year.
Pigs daily produce S3.6 pounds for
each one thousand pounds live
weight, worth 1921 a ton, or s29.27
year.
That manure, both liquid and solid
and mixed with straw, leaves and
other bedding, not only supplies the
soil with plant food, but improves the
physical condition of the soil itself
And the sooner the manure is spread
! over the fields after it is produced the
more good it will do.-Kansas City
