South Vernon-Show Not
In A Store-room
(By secy. Clyde L. BrentlingerJ }

(By Secy. Clyde Il. brenIllHBeTD
Mt. Vernon is to have one of the
largest poultry shows that has ever
been pulled off in this county. With
assurance from the poultry and pet
stock fanciers from all over the coun-
ty, the liberal financial assistance
given by the Mt Vernon merchants
and the securing of Charles McClave
as Judge, the members of the asso
citation are highly pleased over the
outlook.
Mr.. McClave is one of, if not the
best known poultry judges in the
country, having judged some of the
largest shows ever held in the United
States and the association is fortu
nate in securing his services.
The place of holding the show has
not been fully decided upon, but it
will not be in a store-room this year,
as there is no store-room in town that
will hold the exhibits.
There are any number of persons
in Mt. Vernon and vicinity who have
pure bred poultry and do not know
it,, In drive around town and in
South Vernon the writer saw any
number of fowls that the owner would
not be ashamed of in any showroom.
You should have some person look
over your flock and tell you if your
poultry is good enough TO show or
not. If they are, get them in shape
and bring them to the show this win
ter.
There will be a meeting of the as
sociation in the Office of the presi-
dent Wednesday night, Nov. Is, at 7
o'clock, and every person who is in
terested in pure bred poultry and
pet stock is invited to attend and get
in the game. 1t will cost you moth
ing to come up and talk chicken for
while. Wednesday night, 1880,

LACK
Of Houses To Rent, A Ser
ious Situation
New Manager OF Local Telephone
6ranch May Not Come To This
City Because OF This
Very Thing

The really serious condition which
confronts the city of Mt. Vernon in
the shape Of an entire lack of avail
able houses for rent is emphasized
by the coming here of Charles Bas-
sett of Coshocton, new manager of
the local branch of the Central Union
Telephone Co.
Mr.. Bassett arrived in this city Sat
urday and Immediately started to find
house which might be rented. BY
Tuesday, he became discouraged and
just about made up his mind that
there wasn't such thing, at least in
Mt. Vernon.
Mr.. Bassett is married man and
has family. He is unwilling to live
in Mt. Vernon himself and leave the
family in Coshocton and threatens
not to locate in this city, unless he
can find suitable quarters.
The lack of houses for rent has
been touched upon several times at
the noon-day luncheons of the cham
ber of commerce. 1t is thought that
men Of the city, who have money to
invest, would do we'll to erect houses.
This would certainly relieve a bad
situation which undeniably exists.

Frank Gotten Experiences
Real Thrills At High
st. Bridge
HORSE DROPS 12 FEET
Night And Rain Nearly Cause Very
Serious Accident-Driver OF
Team Believes Commission
ers Should At Once
Erect A Fence

A misty rain, driving on the front
windows of the closed wagon in
which he rode, so blinded Frank
Gotten, who lives west of the city,
Monday evening about 6 o'clock that
he drove partially off the east en-
bankment of the West High street
bridge, one of the horses falling a
distance of IL feet onto pile of
rocks below. The other, together
with the wagon, remained on the
road by some strange chance of for
tune.
Mr.. Gotten had left the lights of
the city behind and was proceeding
on his way home. The blackness of
the night, combined with the misty
rain and more or less unfamiliarity
with the road caused the accident.
When the one horse slipped over
and the animal slid silently into the
black depths below. Mr.. Gotten call.
ed for assistance, which was soon
forthcoming, and the horse was found
lying on the rocks, with bad cut OH
its hip.
To get the beast out of it's predica-
ment, it was necessary to secure the
service of Clarence Clark. A tackle
was rigged up and attached to the
animal. 1t was found that the horse
could not be brought up to the road
on the east side Of the river, so the
animal was dragged through the wa
ter to the other side. 1t was taken
home and ointments applied to the
bruised spots. The injuries are not
extremely serious, but the anime /
will be unfit for work for some time.
The wagon, in which Mr.. Gotten
was returning home from trip south
of Mt. Vernon, is owned by the Wat
kins' Medicine Go. 1t is totally en-
closed and has glass windows both
on the sides and the front. Mr.. Cot
ten lives near Sharp's greenhouse.
Mr.. Gotten, conversing with a rep.
resentative of The Banner TUESDAY
morning, exhibited some little feeling
when speaking of the condition of the
road near the bridge. He stated that
the spot is very dangerous and gave
it as his belief that the county COM
missioners should lose no time In
building a fence for the protection
of those who use the highway.

REDUCE FERTILIZER BILLS.
BENEFITS OF NITRATE PLANT
Il ARE OUTLINED.
FfxatiOn Works Would Exploit Lime
Beds, Resource Not Heretofore Dc.
vclOpcd.

Columbia, Aug. 15.-The following
statement was made yesterday by the
Columbia Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee having charge Of the nitrate
plant campaign:
During 1914 the fertilizer tax paid
to Clemson college aggregated $780,
064.Os, which. at 25 cents per ton,
shows that 1,064,256 tons of fertilizers
OF all classes were used in South Caro-
lima. 1t has been repeatedly stated
that the gross cost was $31,000,O 900,
and that GO per cent. Of this amount
was expended for the one item Of
nitrogen, very considerable propor.
ton Of which was for mineral nj
trate. since South Carloina uses it
heavily as top dresser and as q side
application for cotton and corn, as
we'll as in complete fertilizers.
If the government established a
nitrogen fixation plant in Columbia,
for the joint production of fertilizer
and nitric acid. and all the available
power were used for the production
of lime nitrate, at prices ruling before
the European war sent Chilean nitrate
to such high levels. the value of the
product would be $9,O00,0O0 from un-
developed South Carolina resources.
II the whole of this product were used
IN South Carolina, and sold at the
price named as the probable cost of
producing lime nitrate with horse
power at $40 per ton, to wit: $3.50
per ton. the saving to South Carolina
farmers alone would amount to s5.-
718,750 per annum.
Instead Of $4,000, 900 leaving the
State that amount would remain here.
Further, the $3,2S1,250 worth of lime
nitrate would be that much new
wealth as surely as IL it were so much
gold. In the enormous waste power
or the Congaree, harnessed to produce
the vitalizing electric spark, we would
develop the philosophers stone to
transmute into gold the base mari of
the coastal plain, which in turn would
make unproductive and unprofitable
land produce wealth four-fold.
This Is the reason why the nj
trates committee Of the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce urges every
farmer. every professional and busi-
ness man to write to our senator's and
representatives in Washington to sup
port the movement to secure one of
these great government plants for
South Carolina. Write today" :"

From the Daily Item, Aug. Is.
That there are no cases of infantile
paralysis in the city Of Sumter or in
the surrounding country announced by
the Sumter board Of health and City
Health Officer w. J. McKagen today.
The board of health, health officer
and all of the physicians in the city
and county are cooperating in every
way possible to keep the disease out
Of Sumter county and so far their ef-
forts have been successful and the ru-
mors which have been spread to the
effect that the disease was in the city
are without any foundation.
1t is stated by the board of health
that should any cases of the disease
be discovered in the city, the fact
would at once be made known.so that
the public could take steps to guard
more carefully than ever before
against it. The board Of health wants
parents to cooperate with it now i'm
guarding against the disease and 1t
will make public any appearance of
the disease in the community, SO that
parents can take proper precautions
for their children's welfare.
The State board of health has is
sued a circular to all of the railroads
in the State to be sent to their ticket
agents at all stations requiring ticket
agents to see that all children under
sixteen years of age have health GER
| tificates before they are allowed to
travel on trains.
The certificate must be signed by
the local board of health, where one
exists. or where no health board ex-
lists, by the family physician, or a
reputable, physician residing in the
locality; that the child has not been
in contact with infantile paralysis, and
has not had the disease this year.
When notified by the secretary of
the State Board of Health that a
town is under quarantine, no tickets
will be sold to children under six
teen years of age. The names of such
towns will be furnished by the secre-
tary of the State board of health
when necessary.
