"THE WAY WE
CELEBRATED"

According to figures so Tar recelV'
ed, nineteen persons lost Their 1--we:
in celebration of independence Day
this year. Apart from these fatal
ties many were injured by explosions
some since dying, while there were
fights and other unseemly occur
g.ences. A number of automobile &C
cidents, the results of carelessness lr
most cases, in which numbers have
killed and wounded, are also record
ed, with drowning accidents in diff
fcrent sections.
The following are few of the
Fourth of July horrors:
Mrs. William Winans, "A years old
of Philadelphia, whose right arm wa:
mangled Sunday night when cannon

gas pipe was blown into bits by an
explosion of powder, died yesterday.

toward the list of Fourth of July
tragedies in the death of Foster Shaw
and David Ogden, aged IS and ID,
the latter of whom lost both hands.
These two boys were celebrating
with an old homemade cannon Mon
day evening. They conceived the idea
of an increased noise effect by using
dynamite along with blasting powder
in the cannon. Young Shaw was hold
ing the cannon steady while Ogden
rammed the dynamite into the gun.
The vent was open, and the heat Of
the gun helped things along to the
extent that the cannon exploded.
Ogden's hands were practically
blown off and several inches of bone
of one leg crushed. Shaw was mangl-
ed internally.
With Frederick Carlin. of Whining
ton, Del, a patient in hospital III

skull, Harry Dych and Louis Rosen-
field, of the same place are held with
out bail to await the result of his
wounds. Carlin was exploding torped-

ECONOMY AND FERTILIZER DAY.

An important meeting will be neld at the court
houses OF all the counties Saturday, pursuant to a
call made by Governor Manning in a proclamation
setting aside thisasa Fertilizer and Economy Day"
On this occasion the people will assemble and rea-
son together as to how they may safely and wisely
use commercial fertilizers this year. and as to how
they may be able to economic and add to their
store means. These meetings to be held in con-
junction with the work of the county farm demon
stration agents. and these officials will be present
and distribute literature the subjects to be dis
cussed.
Prof. ]. n. Harper of Clemson College has pre-
pared very helpful bulletin the subject use of
Fertilizers Under Present Conditions;" and Rev.
W. H. Mills and Prof. w. II. Barton of Clemson
College have written q treatise Economy in
South Carolina" These gentlemen are earnest
students conditions in this State under present
| environment. and what they say will he read with
interest. Both these subjects of vital interest
to the people of the State just now, ard there
should be general attendance upon these meet
worked out to the conditions confronting the
people Of the country.
No question Is causing more anxious thought
just now among the farmers of the State, and of
the South. than that OF using fertilizers for the
present crop year. Many debts contracted last year
for fertilizers have not been paid even If the
farmer could get credit for an additional supply
1t Is question whether not it would be wise for
him to incur the additional expense. But this is q
debable question. and the best thought of the peo-
pie should be given to the correct solution of It.
These bulletins will be most helpful
