LAURENS, S. c., JUNE 8, 1920.

Gen. Woods campaign managers
spent over a million dollars trying
to secure his nomination as the Re
publican candidate for president. This
is indeed a poor mans country. Poor
folks must have gotten some of it.
Gen Pershing is to retire from the
army at the age Of GO after long and
distinguished service. to pursue more
active career. If he intends to get
out now and make a living he'll find
it pretty active. We do and we are
not sixty.
Statistics recently published by the
Bureau Of Crop Estimates show that
the estimated amount of fertilizer used
per acre this year in the first agricul-
tural district Of this state, which in
cludes Laurcns, was 393 pounds, cost
ing $1,000 per acre. In the Bird dis
trict, including Marlboro county
T45 pounds were used, costing
$2O.S1, a difference OF around $40 per
acre. 1t is claimed that Marlboro
land is better than Iaurcns land. and
maybe is, but it is possible that Marl-
boro farmers get better results by the
moro extensive use Of fertilizers. Ac
cording to these figures Laurens farm
crs could practically double the
amount Of fertilizer at a cost Of $1,000
AT the prevailing price of cotton,
around 40 cents per pound, an increase
of % pounds Of lint cotton per acre
would pay for the extra fertilizer and
another five pounds would pay years

ports resulting from months OF in
vcstigation by special House com :
mittec OF war time expenditures on
air nitrate projects by the govern
ment were debated for an hour in
the House today and then laid aside
temporarily for other business.
The only action taken was on a
point of order raised by Represen-
tative Garrett. Democrat. Tennessec,
minority member OF tho investigating
committee, against one phase of the
majority report by Representative
Graham. Republican, Illinois. Repre-
sentative Garrett contended that in
recommending private operation un-

project as a fertilizer plant. It's ma
jority report invaded the functions
OF any committee of the House having
before it bills dealing directly with
this subject His objection was over
ruled by Speaker. Gillett.
Two reports; one by Republicans,
condemning the governments entire
wartime nitrate program. and -chars-
~ d
ahd'the other bS Democrats defend
ing it and charging partisap bias by
tho majority were reported to tho
House by special committee which
took up the investigation nearly a
year ago.
Republicans Put Blame on President.
The Republicans laid the blame for
the nitrate program, entailing an cx-
penditure OF about $4,000, 600 at tho
door of President Wilson, with Bcr-
nard NJ. Baruch as the moving spirit
of the great wartime project. al
though Representative Garrett.
speaking for the minority, declared
that the President acted on the sur
Eestion OF Secretary Baker. and that
both could assume responsibility
without thought OF apology.
Charging the Air Nitrates Corpora-
ton. builders of the Mussel Shoals
rlant. with failure to perform it's
contract. the majority recommended
to Congress that no further sums he
paid it ou account. and that civil
suits be instituted for recovery of
pay be thrcshed out in the Court of
Claims 1t also was recommended
the government pursue such RENE
dies as might be decided by the. At
torncy-Gencral.
President Frank S. Washburn, of
the Air Nitrates Corporation, issued
IL statement today in reference to
the investigating committees reports.
He said the corporation made no
prohts whatever from the job as SIS
per cent of the fee was taken by
taxes and the remaining 10 per cont
went to expenses. which the gov
crnmcnt could not pay.
