Free Fertilizers.

Clemson College, April 18.-The
idea of getting nitrogen from the all
and potash from the soil is being drlv'
en- home in series Of meetings IN
Saluda county under the leadership
of County Agent J. M. Eleazer. This
county agent reports one instance IN
which farmer whose land was poor
to begin with grew five crops OF bur
clover, after which he produced last
season two bales of cotton per acre
with no fertilizer except 200 pounds
of acid phosphate. A field meeting
for the. benefit of neighboring farmers
is to be held on this farm early in
May.
Great interest is manifested in var
ious parts of the state in soil build:
ing and many calls are being received
by the Extension agronomist for help
in soil building campaigns. There is
little doubt that legumes are gong
to play a much more prominent part
in our cropping systems in the future

RAPS DEMOCRTIC
VIEWS ON TARIFF
SAYS POLICY "UNWISE POLITI-
CALLY AND UNSOUND ECO
NOMICALLY"

The action of the Democratic house
caucus in opposing tariff legislation
was declared to be "unwsie politically
and unsound economically" by John
H. Kirby, president of the Southern
Tariff association, in opening its con-
ference in Washington Monday. A
"silent and tremendous conflict" is 60
ing on throughout the south, Mr.. Kir-
by said, between the political and
economic influences on national tariff
policies which will end with a complete
route of the free traders"
Mr.. Kirby said he was Democrat
and he challenged" the authority OF
Democratic Congressman "to commit
the Democratic party to a policy OF
free raw materials, especially at a
time when it means ruin to the south. v
He warned" the "authorized custo-
dams of Democracy" that unless the
party "can keep the faith of the IA
theirs and serve the people, it will
perish"
Delegates heard speeches by num-
Der of representatives urging protec-
ton for southern interests, and named
committee to recommend specific
schedules of rates on the fifty seven
industries seeking a tariff.
This committee will remain in
Washington until the completion OF
tariff legislation by congress.
Interests representing twenty min
erals produced in the south appeared
before the subcommittee of the house
ways and means committee which is
making up the mineral schedule and
presented pleas for protection.
Delegates were present from the
eighteen states represented in the
association and the ffty-seven agri-
cultural, mineral and manufacturing
industries seeking a tariff.

SOUTH CAROLINA
MEMBERS NAMED
HOUSE DEMOCRATS ANNOUNCE
COMMITTEE APPOINT
MENTS

| Washington, April 18.-South Caro-
lina's appointments on the committees
of the house of representatives. fol-
this congress were made known today
They are as follows: Giving the rep
resentatives in the order of their dis
tricts; w. Turner Logan, insular af-
fairs, elections, expenditures in the
State Department; James F. Brynes
Appropriations; Fred H. Dominick
judiciary; J. J. McSwain, census, pen
sions, war claims and enrolled bills;
William F. Stevenson, banking and
currency, printing; Philip H. Stoll,
military affairs; H. P. Fulmer, indian
affairs, election of president and vice
president, regulation of alcoholic liq-
uor traffic.
New members of the house are at
a great disadvantage, both because
of the fact that the Democratic rep
resentation on committees has been
cut down by the Republicans and be-
cause the Senior Democratic members
have the first choice. For instance,
rule has been adopted that no new
member shall 60 on any of the ten
so-called exclusive committees, which
are appropriations, ways and means
judiciary, rivers and HORRORS, agricul-
ture, foreign affairs, naval affairs,
military affairs, interstate commerce
and postoffices.
Insular affairs, banking and cur
rency and Indian affairs are import
ant and have heretofore been consid-
cred major committees, and members
have often preferred them to one OF
these new denominated Exclusive.
On the whole considering the fact
that South Carolina had three new
members out of seven. the state did
quite well, in committee allotments.
Messrs. Dominick and Stoll move
up to big committees, and Mr.. Steven
son holds a committee which is i'm
portant and on which he can be OF
service to his people and get an adj
ditional committee, printing, of which
the late Representative Finley was
once the chairman.
