expeditionary forces in France, ar
rived here with his staff this fore
noon to take part in the peace cele-

ed by Col. Winston Churchill, secre-
tary of war, and officers represent
ing Field Marshal Haig and Sir Hen
ry H. Wilson chief Of the imperial
staff. After an inspection of the
guard Of honor the party drove to

cheered by the crowds along the
route, which is already gay with dec
orations for the celebration Of peace
day. In the first carriage were Gen.

should consult their county agents,
all of whom have been posted about
the matter
Late in June Director H. w. Barre
of the S. C. Experiment Station at
tended a potato conference on Long
Island to examine tests of all sources
of domestic potash. Trona Potash
showed marked injury to potato
plants, and the conference developed
the fact that similar trouble was be-
ing experienced in North Carolina
with cotton, tobacco and corn. Simi-
lar trouble seems to have been ex-
perienced also in several localities
along the Atlantic coast.
For the guidance of farmers Prof.
Blackwell gives the field SYMPTOMS as
follows: In the case Of cotton and
corn termination is retarded or pre-
vented. Soon after plants which do
germinate are above ground, they turn
white or yellow and die. Tobacco
when transplanted turns light and
soon dies. The roots are found to be
undeveloped and many dead. The
trouble is worse where tobacco beds
have been knocked down, as this
brings the roots in closer contact
with the poisonous substances. With
all crops the trouble is worse on light
sandy soils than on heavier soils.

POTASH INJURY
Trouble Traced to Trona Potash

Clemson College, July 15.-Clem-
son College authorities have lnvestl-
GATED the potash situation which has
given trouble in the Pee Dee section
and have traced the matter to It's
source in the use of Trona Potash,
which contains impurities injurious
TO crops.
Mr.. Bright Williamson, a proml-
pent banker and farmer Of Darling
ton, and John NJ. Napier, County
Agent of Darlington County found
trouble with potash in that county
recently and reported the matter 10
Clemson College. Prof. c. P. Black
we'll. Agronomist, and Mr.. j. l.: Seal,
Plant Pathologist, went Immediately
to Darlington and Florence counties
where thew met DR.. w. w. Garner,
Chief of Office of Tobacco and Plant
Nutrition Investigations. The three
studied the situation in the fields OF
Darlington, Florence, and Dillon
counties.
Thev agreed that the very erratlc
seasons have caused poor crop con-
ditions in parts of Florence county
which some have enormously attrlD-
uted to potash. In Darlington county
however, where Trona Potash from
Searps Lake, California, purchased
through a Charleston broker, was
used, very serious injuries were oo-
served on a number of farms.
The Clemson and Government eN-
perts were convinced from field eX-
aminations that this Trona Potash
is responsible for the trouble. Ihous-
ands of acres of crops in Darlington
have been destroyed. :,
Other sources Of American potash
have given good results so far as IN,
vestigations show. Since nearly all
the soils of the Coastal Plains sec
ton of the state are in need OF pot
ash, it would be unfortunate to have
all potash indiscriminateiy condemn
ed along with this one source.
Director Barre announces that eX-
periments will be begun at once at
the Pee Dee Station to obtain al!
possible information on the effect OF
this material on plant growth. Fur
ther study will be made in Darling
TON fields to assist farmers in secur-
ing data upon which to base. CLAIMS
for damages. These investigations
will be reported as soon as the data
is available. The legal aspects OF the
case will be considered by the BOARD
of Fertilizer Control.
There has probably been injury tc
crops from this same source in 9TH
or sections of the State, and if farm
! ers think they have this trouble they

fore the railroad administration at
Washington Tuesday by representa-
tives of Charleston and other South
Atlantic and Gulf ports which are
seeking a readjustment of export
and import rates to put them on a

REVENUE OFFICER GOSNELL is
ORDERED TO PENl-
TERTIARY

Hendrix Rector, sheriff of Green
vile County, was shot and killed
in Briscoe's Garage at Greenville on
July 4th, by Jake Gosnell deputy col
lector of international revenu. Cos
nell fired four shots at the sheriff,
three of which took effect, one in the
head, one in the side and one in the
shoulder. Sheriff Rector died ten
minutes afterward in an ambulance
bound for the city hospital.
A hostile feeling which had ex-
listed between the two officers for
several years, due largely to politl-
cal differences, according to reports,
was the reason which has been as
signed as the cause of the affair.
Eve witnesses of the shooting and
Gosnell would make no statement re-
lative to the manner in which it oc-
Cured, but reports are to the effect
that very few words passed between
the two men, both of whom had come
to the garage to have their cars re-
paired. Gosnell's wife who was wait
ing outside the garage for him, ac-
companied him to the county Jail.
Half an hour after the shooting
occurred, coroner ]. H. Alison, who
automatically becomes acting sheriff,
according to law, ordered the remov-
al of Deputy Gosnell to the State
Penitentiary, in Columbia, for safe
keeping. Sheriff Rector, who was
about thirty-seven years Of age, was
serving his second term as sheriff
and had announced his candidacy IN
the race next summer.
He is survived by his father, moth
er, wife and four brothers. Deputy
Gosnell is a man of family, and ap-
pears to be between forty and forty
five years of age. The coroner's jury
viewed the body at 5 o'clock this at
ternoon and will hold an inquest TO-
morrow morning at II o'clock.

BOIL WEEVIL AUTHORITY TO
VISIT SOUTH CAROLINA
DR.. w. D. Hunter To Be Here Dur
ing Farmers Week

Clemson College, July 15.-Dr. W.
D. Hunter, chief of the section of
Southern Field Crop Insect lnvesti-
cations of the Bureau of Entomology
of the L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. will be at the Farmers Week
meetings held at Clemson College
during the third week Of July. He
expects to reach Clemson on the 23rd
and will likely stay for day or two
to confer with farmers. He will ad-
dress the meeting on the evening OF
Juy %. This is rare treat because
DR.. Hunter is the pioneer OF pioneers
in boil weevil work. Although
scientist of high standing, he is an
intensely practical man. DR.. Hunter
took charge of the boil weevil situa-
ton soon after this pest cross the
Rio Grande in 1892 and he has stay
ed with the work ever since and
through these many wears has recent
lessly followed the weeviPs trail. Inc
cultural system now in use grew
chiefly out of the work under his dl-
rection and now it appears that traits
of the weevil have been discovered
that they may yet make him amend
able to poisons.
DR.. Hunter has always had a deep
interest in South Carolina and many
wears ago gave out estimates OF
what South Carolina might expect
together with recommendations to
mitigate the losses. Although the
weevil heretofore gave him no OPP
portunity to visit South Carolina, ne
has for more than twelve years gwen
direct assistance to this State in the
control of southern field crop insects.
The boil weevil is now with US and
every farmer, merchant, banker, ana
other citizen interested in farming
is urged to hear what DR.. Hunter
has to say on the boil weevii situa-
ton in our State. Do not forget the
date.

GORGEOUS RAIMENT OF COLO
MEL ADORNS BACK OF HO-
TEL DOORMAN

Col ]. Rion McKissick, formerly Z
member of Governor Manning's STAFF
has Just made a novel discovery OF
the whereabouts of gorgeous UNI
form which he wore when the COVER.
nor's staff was called upon to leno
dignity to numerous public affairs
The discovery is another proof of III
pays to advertise" though Colone
McKissick in this case was not the
advertiser, and, as it developed, was
not bent upon tracing his uniform
He had forgotten all about it, as a
matter of fact, until the other day
he read a story to the effect that an
army officer who had just returned
from overseas declared that he saw
the doorman at one of the big hotels
in Brussels wearing uniform that
was once worn by member OF the
staff of governor of South Carolina
The officer said he was at the hote
in Brussels one day when his atten-
ton was attracted by the uniform
worn by the doorman. 1t looked
strangely familiar, being a brilliant
navy blue with a quantity of gold
braid across the front and shoulders,
and having the initials IS. c." on
the collar. Upon closer inspection be
found that every one Of the dozen OF
more shiny brass buttons on the coat
was adorned by the familiar palmet-
to tree.
The doorman did not speak Eng
lish, so the officer hunted around un-
til he found an interpreter and then
began to make inquiries. According
to the story which he was able to
piece .together, some time last year
there was a drive in the United
States for second hand clothing for
the benefit of the Belgians and this
gorgeous uniform, once the pride OF
some member of a governors stall
was in one Of the boxes OF clothing
received at Brussels.
The hotel doorman had secured the
uniform and, having it cut down to
fit, had donned it and worn it ever
since. The doorman was immensely
proud of the uniform and firmly be.
lieved that j belonged to held

since OSCSdSeu, dlil tiieRe hiS t's
out of their generosity, had donated
it to the Belgians. There was nothing
about the uniform that would identl-
fly the original owner, the officer
said.
Colonel McKissick happened to
read the story and casually COM
mented that he was satisfied the uni
form seen in Brussels was once his

and shipped across the water. A year
ELAPSED, and the news now comes
that the gorgeous uniform has glad

Death of a Little Child

The little five year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. L. Nesmith of Ne
smith died here Tuesday afternoon.
The little one was brought to the
sanitorium here that morning suf-
fering from an advanced stage of
appendicitis. She underwent an oper-
alton, but the desease was too far ad-
vanced to save her life and she died
about four hours after being operat-
ed upon. Deepest sympathy is felt
here for the bereayed parents.
