men who have served in the navy, as
they are more regular in their habits
and have more respect for constituted
authority than do men from civil life.
In addition to the schools already
mentioned, there are general instruc,
ton schools maintained at the Train
irg Stations and on all the large ships.
Every man who has not received a
qualifying mark. must attend these
schools or classes until he does re-
ceive one. Here recruits are taught in
all the common school branches by
competent instructors so that a man
who has not had chance to complete
his education in civil life may do so
after he enters the navy Every ship
in the navy is supplied with free Ii
hrary containing hundreds of books
treating on all subjects. These books
may be had by enlisted men for the
asking. In fact, nothing whatever is
neglected that broadens mems minds,
and if a man does not come back after
four years in the navy with a more
comprehensive understanding of life
IL general and with a better mental
equipment in every way, it is because
that man has not the necessary gray
matter to retain what he has been
taught. c. E. SMlTHERMAN,

GREENWOOD SHOWS WILL
GIVE BENEFIT PERFORMANCE

Have you seen the Greenwood
shows?
If not, you want to see them tomor-
row, Friday afternoon, at o'clock
The Greenwood Amusement com
Iany, who are putting on these shows
during the past week, is a company in
class by itself. During the week each
night the tent under which they are
playing in Dudley Field has been full
to overlooking. The plays they have
been presenting have been clean, in
structive and entertaining, and those
who have seen them speak in the high
est terms of each performance.
We insist on your seeing these shows
Friday matinee. At that time a
play will be staged for the benefit of
the Americas Hospital association. The
entire proceeds from this entertain
ment will go to the Hospital associa-
ticn, including the receipts from the
sale of Chero-Cola The price of ad-
mission will remain the same, the
small amount of ten cents.
The Greenwood shows are good
shows, and the benefit performance
Friday afternoon is for a good purpose,
hence you are urged to go and help
swell the proceeds. Go, take the wife
and all the kiddies. They will enjoy it
as well as you.

plants will be needed but little for
this purpose in times of peace, it is
proposed when they are not engaged
in war to utilize the product for COM
nlercial fertilizers.
In connection with the investigation
upon this subject before the committee
on agriculture, Senator Hoke Smith de
veloped fully the raw material in this
country out of which potash can be
made.
There are a number of beds in the
West that may be used for this pur-
pose, but the thing especially brought
to the attention of the committee was
the great quantity of "kelp," sea-
weed growing from Alaska to Southern
California, extending out about three
miles from tne coast.
When dried 25 per cent of this weed
consists of potash salts, and Senator
Hoke Smith, in cooperation with the
secretary of agriculture. is arranging
for a government plant on the Pacific
coast to test out commercially the sep
aration of the dried kelp from the pot
ash salts in the sea weed called
"kelp." The necessity for the separa-
tion is to reduce the freight on the
transportation from the Pacific coast
t. the-Atlantic seaboard.

NITROGEN PLANT

ATLANTA, Ga, May At is con-

months a plant to produce nitrogen
from the air and the shipment of pot
ash through the Panama canal from
the Pacific coast in great quantities at
cleap rates will both be in operation.
Three Southern senators have ac-
lively supported the erection by the
government of nitrogen plant to pro-
duce nitric acid, absolutely neces-
sary in case Of war, and when not
reeded for this purpose to furnish raw
material for the nitrogen used for fer
tilizers. They were Senator Smith, of
South Carolina: Senator Hoke Smith,

CHIEF GUNNERs MATE SMITH
ERNAA MAKES COMPARISON

In a recent issue of the Times-Re-
Corder, the editor of that paper quoted
Frederick NJ Kirby as authority for
the statement that $S7 is spent in
advertising to obtain each and every
recruit enlisted in that branch ohf the
service. The article goes on to state
tat after a man has enlisted in the
army his opportunities are practically
nil, as no vocational schools are main
tanned in the army Therefore the re-
cruit has nothing to look forward to.
Without going into the merits of the
case 30 far as the army is concerned,
wish to state that the navy has these
vocational schools of which the editor
speaks. The navy constantly main
tains no less than eight trade schools
at which men with a rrdimentary
knowledge of many trades and occupa-
lions are given more thorough knowI-
edge of how to make themselves more
useful to the service, and to prepare
them to cope more ably with conditions
in civil life should they elect to remain
out of the service. Employers such as
Thomas A. Edison E. w. Bliss & Co,
Tie General Electric Co, and many
hers state that they much prefer

SAYS ENGINEER CREINER

At the meeting Of the Levy Court
yesterday, a letter was received from
John 2. Greiner. consulting engineer,
stating that an inspection of new
river front bridge, made by his asso-
ciate, Mr.. Pagon. showed that there is
oscillation and jerks in the counter
weights This. the letter stated. is
due to the action Of the counter
weight links. which need strengthen
ing. He said he had wired the Strauss
Bascule Bridge Company, the condi-
tions with instructions to arrange TO
strengthen the links at once.
Mr. Greiner stated that the condi-
ton is due only partly to the fiexibil-
fly of the link connections and that
the other part is due to the bridge
tenders neglecting their duty in fail
ing to oil the machinery. He urged
upon the court the importance o.
putting men In charge of the bridge
who will at least look after the lubri'
cation of parts and bearings, where
holes or cups are provided
Mr.. Burris stated that the bridge
