AMERICAN POTASH

All brands of American Potash
which were manufactured and used
during the war, as far as we now
know, gave good results except Trona
Potash which was made at Searles
La Ike, California. Reports of loss of
a large acreage Of crops to which
Trona Potash was applied have been
made, especially from farmers in Dar-
lington County.
So far as / know TO damage has
resulted from the use of Trona Pot
ash in Clarendon Counsy, thought a
number Of farmers report greater
percentage of cotton plants have died
this year. but are undecided as to
whether the loss was due to the use
Of American Potash or wilt. I have
investigated number Of cases of
this kind but have found none as vet
that would warrant the belief that the
loss was due to Ton Potash. How
ever if any one in Clarendon County
believes the loss Of Their cotton or to-
bacco is due to Trona Potash please
communicate with me and ! will inves-
tigate at once.

DANISH ILLITERACY

A statewide drive is now on foot to
Danish illiteracy from South Caro-
lima.
The State has appropriated twenty
five thousand dollars for this work to
be used this summer, and teachers are
appealed to undertake the work. Good
pay can be secured for this work by
any teacher who will lend themselves
to the work. Any class may be or
ganiZed consisting of ten or more stu
dents above fourteen years of age
The school must run at least four
weeks, and may run not longer than
% weeks. Teachers, trustees and
others interested in this problem
are called on to push the work. Full
information on this movement can be
had by addressing the Illiteracy Com
mission" Columbia, S. G.. or the Coun-
ty Superintendent. South Carolina
stands next to the last of the States
in illiteracy, and unless we move bet
ter the next census may put us at the
bottom.
/ make this appeal TO the teachers
and trustees throughout the County
to study the problem in your own
community, and if a class can be or
ganized to do it. Writing, reading and
studies. Illiterates if rroperly taught
can soon learn to write their names
and get start in easy reading. Is
there not something you can do?
Write for information.

COFFEE

as bread and butter-the "Universal

Coffee has earned this important
place by the sheer might Of merit
by reason of an amazingly pleasine
appeal to the taste,-by the force of
its genuine wholesome goodness. It

Coffee is cheering, soothing, COM
fortlng, sustaining. Ask the soldier
IN the trench. Ask the sailor at sen,
ASK the laborer in his cottage. Ask
the millionaire in his mansion.
Coffee is "man's drink" A sturdy
hearty, favory, savory drink. A real
chummy, chubby drink. It greets the
busy man at breakfast 1t meets him
at the conference luncheon. It repales
him at dinner. And ogain at his club
banquet.
With prohibition,-coffee will be-
come even more popular. We see the

PLAZA SALOONS
 GIVEN RESPITE
County Commissioners De. eide Dealers Need Not
 Move Until July l.

Because of conditions which have delayed work in clearing ground for the Plaza, the county commissioners have decided not to enforce their pre- vious order that all liquor dealers in that district must move at once. The commissioners think that inasmuch as the dealers will have to quit busi- ness in any event by July l, that 1t will be unnecessary to force them to move now.
 Two of the dealers in the Plaza dis tTiCt cannot even remain in their present locations until July 1, because their leases have expired and the owners, of the premises have declined to grant renewals. The unfortunate two arc Samuel Sandhaus and J. J. Murren, both situated on Wall street.
 There are only nine other dealers who would be affected by the com unissioners' order. Six of these are on Bank or State streets At the time tho commissioners issued their order 1t was expected that the work of razing buildings in the Plaza district would proceed So rapidly that the sa- loon keepers would be standing in the path of progress if allowed to remain in their present premises
 The task of demo molishing the build ings in this district has taken much longer than expected, however. Ger tain property owners have been all lowed additional time so it was thought reasonable to extend the same privilege to the liquor dealers.

TH0MP AGAIN
 CHICACO'S MAYOR
Secured Plurality of 17,6O0 City Voted Wet By
 247,228.

Chicago, April 2-Comp7ete returns
 today from yesterdays municipal
 election showed that William Hale
 Thompson (Republican) was reject
 ed mayor for term of four wears by
 a plurality of 17,6GO over Robert M. Sweitzer, (Democrat). his nearest
 competitor, and that the city voted
 wet by a majority of 247,228.
 Four other mayoralty candidates
 were in the feld-Maclay Hoyne, (Tn-
 dependent Dernocrat); John Fitzpat-
 rick. Labor); John M. Collins, (So- cialist), and Adolph s. Carm, Social
 ist Labor). The total vote for mayor was 688, 8,361 out of a registration of 792, 900. At the mayoralty election
 four years ago, Thompson defeated Sweitzer by more than 147, 900 votes. An analysis for the vote for mayor indicates that HOyne, present states attorney, drew heavily from the nor nal Republican vote, while Fitzpat- rick cut into the Democratic vote. Following are the figures for the six mayora1ty candidates:
 Thompson .......,........ 267,8SS SWe1tzer Z4O,ZSS Hoyne ..-.....~ 11V,oSo Fitzpatrick ............... 54, ,467 Carms ................ 1,715
 The campaign was perhaps the
 most bitter ever contested in Chicago. Parttsanship, religious and racial feeling resulted in demonstrations to- ward the close to an extent that ire quently called for police Interference. The vote on prohibition shall Chi cago be dry territory" was won by the vets without contest by the drys. The returns on this proposition show ed:
 Men Women Total Dry ..... 67,7O7 76,325 144,032 Wet It,. 266,529 124,731 391,26o The aldermanic returns show the elimination of Socialists from the city council, every candidate of the party in the 31 wards in which that party presented candidates being decisively beaten.
 In the new council the Democrats will have a voting strength of 45 and 1 the Republicans 25.
