FAIR BITTER ENDERS"
OPPOSE GOVERNMENT

Washington, July 24.-The gov
ernment today had a unique strike
on it's hands. Public opinion is with
the strikers, and there seems to be
small possibility Of the government
winning out.
Twenty-Five fair war workers con-
stitute the "angry mob" of strikers.
They Indignantly refused Ito be dis
possessed of their quarters in one of
the big government dormitories and
say they'll fight it out on this line if
it takes all summer.
Governmental economy, which hits
Washington with the budget system
is responsible for the order evicting
the girls. The government issued an
order that the fair workers move
from their quarters in one Of the
dormitories in order that the build
ing might be closed in the interest
Of economy.
Forty-two girls were affected, and
20 moved. But the remainder have
dubbed themselves Afbitter enders"
and are holding out. The rooms in
which the small band of irrecon-
cilables live have been stripped to
bare walls. All bed linen, towels and
maid service have been withdrawn,
but this didn't faze the girls.
"We'll STICK" is the ultimatum de-
livered by a pretty spokesman of the
strikers today.
Government officials are gravely
shaking their heads, wondering if at
ter all it wouldn't be better to let
the girls stay until their lease runs
out, on the 1st Of August.

SUING FOR DIVORCE
HUSAND DENIES WIFESHIP

New York, July 23.-Can a wom-
an legally sue for divorce when the
defendant alleges she is not his
wife? That is one of the questions
raised by the reply of Philip NJ.
Shaw, millionaire, broker and social
ly prominent, to the action Of his
wife, Elnior.
The broker asserts in his affidavit
that his wife was not legally divorc-
ed from her first husband, William
Neserve Jordon, a wealthy Bostonian
before she married him nineteen
years ago. .
Miss Marienne La Barre a former
Ziegfeld Follies beauty, known as
BUTTERFLY" is named as correspond
ent in the suit, which was filed May
81. Yelled in the same secrecy that
marked the Stillman case, the filing
of action was revealed today when
the accused husbands attorney filed
their answer in the Supreme Court.
It is continued by Shaw's attorn-
eys that the fact that his wife's di-
vorce had not been made final when
she married him and the further fact
that she condoned his alleged often
ses does not entitle her to a divorce
and $1,000 a month alimony. and ST.
500 counsel fees.
Mrs. Shaw, who is middle-aged
and strilingly beautiful, comes from
a socially prominent Boston family.
After receiving an dnterlocutory de-
cree. from her first husband on
April i, 1901 she met Shaw and
married him in this city on January

KU KLUX KHAN

Atlanta Authorities Convinced That
Organization is Responsible
For Tarring and Feathering

Atlanta, Ga, July 23:-Declaring
he is convinced that recent lawless
happening in Florida and Texas,
where several men and one woman
were whipped or tarred and feather
ed, were not the work of members
of the Ku Klux Kan, Colonel W. j.
Simmons, imperial wizard of that or
ganization, today issued a statement
reclaring a thorough investigation
of such charges is being made, and if
proved true, guilty members would
be banished from the organization,
and if any local collusion is involved
Its charter would be revoked.
Colonel Simmons statement said !:

orits membership, but in order to
assist myself Of this fact, am put
ting approximately 80 men on the
job of making complete and search
ing, investigation. I call upon all Off
GERS of the law, both city, state and
federal, to submit to me any tan
glible evidence which they may have
showing any Of the recent happen
ings throughout the country to be
justly chargeable to the Ku Klux
Klan.
SIN verification and proof of the
sincerity of the statement, I last
week suspended the charter of PEN
sacola, Fla, and revoked the charter
of Mobile, Ala, and we are making
complete and searching investigation
to ascertain the real facts regard
the acts charged against our organi-
zation in these two places. If they
are sufficiently serious to so justify
and it is found that our organization
is involved, I intend to furnish the
officers in these places with list Of
the membership in that community.
The offenses at both of these places
were minor, but I do not intend to
allow even minor offenses against the

HUMUS SAVES POWER
Organic Matter Conserves Horse
Flesh and Kerosene.

Clemson College, July 25.-Or-
ganic matter in the soil improves the
soil tilth. It loosens heavy soils, pro-
notes granulation, improves drain
age, and favors better soil ventila-
ton, according to N. E. Winters,
Extension Service agronomist. It
also makes for easier working Of
many soils.
At the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station it took one-fourth less horse
power to.pull 14-inch plow 8 inches
deep in a clay loam soil containing
Ia per cent humus than in the
same soil containing 2 IA per. cent
humus. Or in other words, the addi-
tional one per cent of humus so
loosened and lightened the soil that
one less horse was needed for plow-
ing it:
Humus is the crying need of our
soils in South Carolina. It is the
real foundation of soil fertility and
must be supplied before we can pro-
duce large crops most economically.
Humus is not purchased in CONNER
cial fertilizers but must be built up
in the soil by incorporating large
amounts of organic matter n the
form of green manures, farm ma
nures and crop residues.
