CARSON DEFENDS ULSTER.
Gives Reason for Recent Speech at
Belfast Which Caused Discussion.

London, July 17.-Sir Edward
Carson, the Ulster leader, in an in
terview today gave ihs reasons for his
recent speech at Belfast which was
the cause of a lively debate in the
house Of commons Wednesday, Sir
Edward did not take part in the de-
bate.
"Consider this de Valera campaign
in America which is being conducted
against the integrity of the British
empire by people who we're our enc
mics all through the war;" the Ulster
leader said. "It is being utilized,
both on the other side of the Atlantic
and on this with the obvious end of
brow beating Ulster and forcing her
under some sort of Dublin parliament
Now remember that throughout the
war Ulster men and women were the
foremost of the kings subjects in
devoting themselves and their sub
stance to the support of the empire
and to fighting the battle for liberty
and justice.
~ know we'll how bitter they feel
at the suggestion that their reward
should be handed over to their enc
mics and I spoke as I did in order to
let it be known clearly that Ulster
will not stand it."

at him. When Carroll reached the
tree at the corner of the bank he
stopped behind the tree. The negro

After Ray fell I saw Carroll swing

TROUBLE WITH MEXICO
FEARED IN WASHINGTON
FARMERS LOSE THOUSANDS.
Great Devastation in Orangeburg and
Darlington Counties.

There is no doubt in the mind of
A. c. Summers, chief chemist of the
State department of agriculture.
that trona potash from the Searles
Lake deposits of California has ruin
ed thousands of dollars of growing
crops in South Carolina. Some DAYS
ago he made a preliminary report
after an Investigation made at the
invitation and request of Bright Will
hanson, of Darlington. At that time
there was no doubt in DR.. Summers's
mind that the cause of the death of
the growing crops was some element
IN the potash. A subsequent visit
mas strengthened his belief. Upon
the occasion of his second visit. DR..
Summers had photographs made of
number of fields which had been
ruined. In some places it was found
that the potash had not such mark
ed injurious effects, and DR.. Sum-
mers has found that such a condition
was due to the fact that the potash
in some localities contained more
DoraX than in others.
The chemical laboratory has made
careful analysis of samples taken
from the potash that was used in
Darlington county and DR. Summers
nnds that there is considerable per-
centage of borax which is a known
poison to plant life, and is unoues-
tlonably responsible for the damage.
On the farm of Alex Mcleod in Dar-
hngton county the damage, according
to DR.. Summers's estimate is around
$4,000. He has found consider
able damage to have been done to
farms in Orangeburg county and on
the Morgan Boylston plantation at
Springfield he thinks the damage will
run as high as $4,000. Jake stro-
man and other farmers of Orange
burg county have been damaged by
the use of this potash.
DR.. Summers states that the negro
tenant farmers use this potash for
washing powders and say that it beats
Red Devil lye." In some places
where the potash has been used and
the crops ruined, the farmers say
that it was done by that Peruna
potash" Reports from North Caro-
lima indicates that many farmers in
that State also have received serious
damage from the use of this potash.
In going over Darlington county,
DR.. Summers was accompanied by
J. H. Napier, county demonstration
agent, who has been in conference
with Mr.. Williamson about the effects
OF the potash. Mr. Napier has very
decided ideas himself as to the re-
sponsibility of the loss of the crops.
