CLEMSON WAVES TAX
ON NITRATE OF SODA
Fertilizer Board Decides That Far
mers Would Get No Benefit
From Money Collected.

Clemson College, Feb. 1.-THE
following statement was given out
by the Clemson College board OF fer
tilizer control:
THE Clemson College board of
fertilizer control has decided that
the farmers of South Carolina shall
not be required to pay an inspection
tax on the nitrate of soda which is
to be imported by the government
and distributed in this State. In
purchasing this nitrate, the farmers
will have to do so on the good faith
of the government. 1t would not
be possible for them to recover
damages even if the goods proved
inferior. The farmers therefore
would get no benefit in this particu-
lar case from the fertilizer tax and
the board felt that il would not be
just for him to have to pay it,
Ordinarily in the purchase of
fertilizers from private concerns the
inspection and the analysis protect
the farmer against inferior goods
and in case they prove inferior the
analysis made at Clemson College
enables the farmer to recover dam
ages.
ut is estimated that the fertilizer
tax from the government assign
ment of nitrate of soda in South
Carolina would amount to between
$4,000 and $1,000, but the board
Of control foregoes the collection OF
| this money on the ground that il
would not be just to collect it. Far
mers who purchase nitrate of soda
from the government should see
that the tax is not charged them by
mistake. The secretary OF egricul
ture recently announced that the
farmer must pay $3.50 per ton
plus all transportation charges from
port of entry, and in addition tn,
fertilizer inspection tax required b,
State laws"

DUEL is FATAL
FOR DIR. VIM. ILDERTON
Florence Physician Killed by Son
and Lawyer in Court House
at Florence.

Florence, Feb. 11.-William IL
llerton. physician, was killed and j.
Wilbur Hicks, an attorney, serious
ly wounded in a shooting affray
which occurred at noon Friday in
the hall of the Florence county court
house. Both are well known citi-
zens of this city. Geddings Ilder-
ton. son of the dead physician.
participated in the shooting. firing
three shots at his father. This
happened just after the Judge Of
probate had pushed the half crazed
man away from the PROSTATE form
OF the attorney, whom he had shot
down. Ilderton and Hicks emptied
their revolvers at each other. Hicks
was struck down and Ilderton was
in the act of attempting to club him
in the head with the butt end Of his
pistol when Mr.. Brunson. who had
rushed into the hall from his office,
pushed him away. Just then young
llderton entered the hall from the
front, firing as he came The es-
cape OF Mr.. Brunson from harm is
deemed miraculous.
1lderton was shot five times and
either one of two or three bullets
would have proved fatal. One en-
tered the heart. Hicks was shot in
the head and in the abdomen. but
the cavity was not pierced and he
will recover. Young Ilderton was
unharmed.
The shooting grew out OF bad
blood between the attorney, who was
representing Mrs. Ilderton in a suit
for alimony, and the dead man. DR.
and Mrs. 1lderton separated three
years ago. Friday was set for the
first hearing in the case before the
master, III. A. Brunson, acting a.
referee. Mr.. Brunson postponed tn,
ease on account of the fact that IL
derton appeared to be drinking
Hicks and Ilderton came together ir
the hall of the court house later and
the shooting began.
llderton came to Florence from
Dorchester county. At one time h,
was prominent in county politics
having served several terms as sena
tor for Florence county. He wa.
about 90 years old. The verdict o
the coroner's jury was that ndertoI
came to his death from gunsho
wounds in the hands of j. w. Hick.
and Geddings Ilderton.

APPEAL IN THE COURTS
"Aftcr Discovered Evidence" in
Lexington Lady'S SUIT Not

DanVille, Va, Feb. 1.-THE cur
tain has been rung down on the last
legal episode in Mrs. Margaret Rad
cline Gooch's fight to secure a lar
ser share of her late husbands es-
tate. For more than two years the
case has been in and out of the
courts with victories for one side
and victories for the other The
United States circuit court of APP
peals has now written the word
'linis' on the young widows attempts
to have annulled an ante nuptia |
agreement and she is therefore a
loser in the case.
While at Lexington, y. C few
minutes before the young woman
was married to the Clarksville dis
tiller, she signed a paper which she
has claimed since the proceedings
were instituted. she did not fully
understand. 1t was in effect a con
tract that provided for her only The
income from $4,000 of the estate OF
her husband Wayne II. Gooch
While the Gooches were honey

himself on the train but for Just
what reason has never been made

however. that there was another
woman" who objected to Gooch s
second marriage and that the fear of
her prompted him TO take his life.
When the case had been read in
the federal district court Judge
Waddill ruled in favor of the young
widow but he was reversed by the
appellate court. Mrs. Goochs law
yer then sought to have the district
tribunal review the case. In the de-
cision of the appellate court the
"after discovered evidence" put for
ward as a plea for review is not
considered sufficient and Gooch's
marriage settlement is considered
"ungenerous. but not fraudulent. -
His estate has been valued at more
than 100000.

Means Have Been Found to
Make Troop Transports That
Fear No Submarine.
TO CHECK U-BOAT MENACE
Transports Will BE Equipped
With New Apparatus Which
Will Make Them Float After
Explosion of Torpedo.

New York, Feb 11.-Means have
been found to make troop transports
unsinkable by submarine, according
to statement made Saturday by
William l.. Saunders, vice chairman
of the naval consulting board, in an
address at dinner of the University
of Pennsylvania alumni in this city.
Mr.. Saunders said that one of the
ships recently commandeered by the
government now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she can
not be sunk by an exploding tor
pedo."
Il can conceive no reason why
this information should be with
held" he added. ION the contrary.
| believe il is we'll that the enemy
may come to realize that the time
has been reached when American
transports are ready for the trans
enemy cannot sink. This ship may
have a hole thirty or forty feet in
diameter blown in her side, and she
will remain afoat. Such a hole
would waterlog but one-tenth of the
honeycombed air tight cells
Mr.. Saunders described in detail
the plar to keep ships afioat after
they had been torpedoed. and the
manner in which it had been devel-
oped by William f.. Donnelly, a New
York marine engineer, working un-
der authorization of the naval con-
sulting board
"Of course, it will take some time
to equip similarly the large number
/ of transports we have" continued
Mr. Saunders. 1T is my belief,
however, that nothing will be left
undone by the administration to
safeguard the lives of large troop
contingents 70 be moved across the

Improved Weather Conditions
Given as Reason in Telegram
From Garfield.
ALSO IN OTHER STATES
Virginia and Kentucky Are to
Continue to Have Tight
Mondays" But All Others
Are Relieved.

The Garheld Monday-cloSing or
der, so far as it affects South Caro-
lima and several other southern
states has been suspended. The fol-
lowing telegram has been sent out
by DR.. II. A. Garfield, federal fuel
administrator:
I'm view Of improved weather and
transportation conditions, all pro
visions of regulation Of January II,
1918, except sections l and 10 are
hereby suspended insofar as they
relate to the following states: North
Carolina, Tennessee, South Caro-
lima. Georgia, Florida. Alabama
Mississippi and Louisiana"
1t will be observed that Virginia
and Kentucky are retained in the old
regulations. All the other states
which were affected by the heatless
Monday order, south of the Mason
and Dixon line, are relieved Of the
necessity for closing down next Mon
day. The sections l and 10 referred
to in the telegram from DIR. Garfield
are those which fix preferential
shipments and deliveries of coal and
provide penalty for non-observ-
ance of the regulation.
1t is presumed that the "suspen-
sion" of the order affecting the
Dixie states will remain a perma-
nent suspension, unless there is a
marked backward trend in trans.
portation or weather conditions.
The section l which remains in
effect and which is OF great import
ance reads as follows:
| Until further order of the United
States fuel administrator all persons
| selling fuel in whatever capacity
shall in filling their contracts or or
ders now on hand give preference
| TO necessary current requirements OF
railroads. domestic consumers. no.

uses. Any tonnage remaining after
the foregoing preferred shipments
have been made may be applied in
