The following statement was made
yesterday by the Columbia Chamber
of Commerce committee having
charge of the nitrate plant campaign
During 1914 the fertilizer tax paid
70 Clemson college aggregated $685.

s-ows that 1,O64,256 tons of fertilizers
OF all classes were used in South Car
olina. 1t has been repeatedly state
ed that the gross cost was $31 ,000,-
900, and that go per cent. Of this
amount was expended for the one
item of nitrogen, very considerable
proportion of which was for mineral
nitrate, since South Carolina uses =
heavily as top dresser and as "a side
application for cotton and corn, as
we'll as in complete fertilizers.
eff the government established a
nitrogen fxation plant in Columbia
for the joint production of fertilizer
and nitric acid, and all the available
power we're used for the production
o. lime nitrate, at prices ruling before
the European war sent Chilean nitrate
t, such high levels, the value of the
product would be $9,0G0,O00 from un-
developed South Carolina resources.
+ 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,-
71S,750 per annun.
Instead of $s,0O0,OOO leaving the
State that amount would remain here.
Further, the $3,2S1, $50 worth of lime
nitrate would be that much new
wealth as surely as if it were so much
gold. In the enormous waste power
of the Congaree, harressed to produce
the vitalizing electric sparks, we
would develop the philosophers stone

Speculation as to probable results
Of the approaching primary election
are becoming rife as the day for de-
cisiou draws near. For the benefit
OF those who delight in juggling fig
ures on gubernatorial races, the fol-
lowing information is given.
Cole l. Blease offered first for gov
ernor in 1905 against seven oppo-
nents. The three leading candidates
were Martin F. Ansel, Mr.. Blease and
Richard I. Manning. In the first pri-
mary Ansel received $3.50, Blease
16,s01 and Manning 23,00S. A vote
of 1888 was distributed among the
remaining fve.. In the second pri-
mary Mr.. Ansel was elected by ma
iority of 9,999.
Two years later Mr.. Ansel was op-
posed for reelection again by the
Newberry candidate. The total vote
that year approximated 100000, Of
which Mr.. Ansel received 62,S67, or
majority of 2O,767 over Blease.
Mfr. Blease was elected governor in
1910, his leading opponent being =
C. Featherstone. The vote that year
was 106,s55. Mr.. Blease received
5e,25o, Mr.. Featherstone 5O,605. The
Newberry county candidates major
ity was 5,645.
Two wears later Mr.. Blease was re-
elected, being opposed by John
Duncan and ira B. Jones. The re-
turns that year were unprecedented-
" large, the count being 140,757. The
majority was 1929. The vote re-
ceived was: Blease 72,043, Jones Co.
548, Duncan 2,166.
X the United States senatorial
rs ce of two years ago the majority
o. D. Smith over his three op-
moments was 11,731. The total vote
cast was 132,S01. Smith received
1926, Blease 56,913, Jennings 2,25S'
Pollock 1854.
Only nine counties were in tie
Blease column in that election. These
were Aiken, Anderson, Cherokee,
Chesterfield, Clarendon, Georgetown
Piokens, Union and York.
tA distinctly narrow margin sep
arated the three leading candidates
for governor in the first primary OF
1914 Several days elapsed before II
could be determined whether Cooper
or Manning would make the second
race. Cooper received 25,05S; Man
ming 25,397. Richards 26,S01. The
loss of Newberry county. Whlch IS
one of the counties of Mr.. Coopers

WHY WOMEN

Wonen who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkhan
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful !? z"
"Why do women write such letters "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
