BIG DRIVE AGAINST
UNLICENSED AUTOS

Columbia, March IAN intensive
drive against the automobiles Of
South Carolina who have not yet Sc
cured their 1921 License plates, is be-
ing launched by the state highway de-
partment Monday, and it is stated
that cases are to be brought against
the delinquents. Sheriffs of all the
counties are being urged to cooper
ate with the department and its in
spectors with a view to rounding
up' the autos that are so far unli-
censed.
In the cities the police departments
are cooperating with the highway de-
partment. In Columbia Police Chief
Richardson has detailed special
squad of officers to round up the au-
to delinquents. The highway depart
ment inspectors will cooperate with
the officers of the law in enforcing
the license law. The period for secur-
ing 1921 license plates expired Feb
ruary 1!
There are, it is estimated by the
highway department, from its records
80, 900 automobiles and several thous-
and dealers yet unlicensed for 1921.
The penalty for each offense is a fine
of from $40 to $25 or Imprisonment
of not over fifteen days.
The highway department is recon-
mending that the cases founded up
during the first week of this special
drive be given the minimum fine.
Those arrested later, after opportun-
nifty to secure licenses is given, state
The highway officials, will be given
heavier sentence.
Inspectors for the department will

lists of automobile owners and deal
ers, and against those found without
1921 licenses cases will be brought.
The highway officials make it clear
that there will be no reductions ron
licenses paid after the first quarter
of the year expires, where cars were
owned during the first quarter. Cars
purchased after April /, will, under
the law, be subject to reduction in

curious announcement is made re-

In the museum there are copies of
various publications of the college
and of the town of Due West, such
papers as the Erskine Collegiate Re-
corder, The Due West Telescope, and
the Erskine Student. The Erskine
Student of 1883 has in it some
sprightly wit, as for example: "When
woman hides her husbands cigar
box, does she find any to-back-her in
it?'
A German Bible of the Sdate of

advisement the publication of a new
version of the Psalms in Spanish.

FACTS ABOUT COTTON

W0flQ pfOQucIlOn O1 cottoH ouI-
side of the United States, for factory
consumption, has averaged 7,138,9OO
bales year for the past 10 years,
according to u. S. Census figures.
Pink boil worm, the most deadly
of all enemies of the cotton plant
first made it's appearance at Hearne,
Texas, in 1917. Like boil weevil it
came from Mexico.
Foreign grown cotton to the num-
Der of 682,911 bales was imported
into the United States last year. 1t
consisted mostly of Egyptians, and
was the largest quantity ever import
ed.
The number Of ginneries in the
United States in 1919 was 22,41S, of
which 1885 were active, and gin
ned an average of 602 bales each.
Of the total of 1885 active gins
in the United States during 1919 all
but 50 were saw-gins.
Roller gins are used principally in
ginning sea-island cotton, and the
long-staple cottons of Arizona and
California.
There is now enough cotton in the
world, unspun, to last nearly two
years.
The total capacity of gins in the
United States indicates that l2,-
100000 bale crop could be ginned in
single month. The total engine
horse power employed in ginneries
of the United States in 1919 was
s73,717.
Bolivar, Co., Miss. was the only
county which ginned more than 100,-
900 bales in 1919; seven reported
more than $4,000, 25 more than 5o,-
900 and 1913 more than $4,000 bales.
The cotton crop of 1919 was GIN
ned in SS7 counties, of which >30S
ginned less than 5000 bales each.
From the year 1900 to the out
break of the Great War in 1914 the
number of cotton spindles has in
creased at the rate of about 3,000,-
600 every year.
Since 1914 the number of cotton
spindles fit for use has been reduced
from a total of 100000 to a to-
tai of 13s,OOO,OOO a decrease of 49,
100000 during the six years.
In the United States there are 66
counties which have more than 100,-
600 cotton spindles each.
Bristol County, Mass, with T.
632,003 cotton spindles, leads all
other counties in the total number.
Rough Peruvian cotton is used to
some extent for mixing with wool in
the making of wool textiles, especi-
ally imitation woolens.
Chinese and Indian cotton are used
to a very limited extent for mixing
with American upland cotton in the
manufacture of the cheaper grades of
goods.
Nearly all of the cotton consumed
in the United States is domestic up
land cotton.
The term upland" is applied to
all cotton produced in this country,
except sea-island cotton, and includes
the long staple upland varieties

Conference With Manufacturers
Responding to the above telegram,
representatives of manufacturers re-
Guested a conference in Columbia on
February % with members of the
State Extension Service. A number
Of prominent farmers were invite i
to attend this conference. 1t was the
hope of the Extension Service that
certain concrete understandings
might be arrived at which would tend
to put the fertilizer situation in the
State on a more definite and satisfac-
tory basis. The Extension Service is
having many inquiries from farmers
over the State relative to the fertili-
zer situation.
While the following is not an ex-
act quotation, it embodies the sense
of statements made at the conference
by fertilizer manufacturers:
First. There are large quantities
of fertilizer materials on hand in this
country.
Second. From 80 to go per cent
of all fertilizers sold in the State
this year will be on time basis as
against approximately so per cent
last year. On time basis no definite
price can be arrived at due to differ
ence in credit and character of Sc
curity. 1t is an economic fact that a
good risk can always buy cheaper
than a poor risk.
Third. The fertilizer market is
at present unstable due to the fact
that spectators as well as manufac-
turers have on hand large supplies
and some are being forced to sell at
whatever cash prices they can obtain.
Under these circumstances it remains
for the man who has the cash to make
the best purchase possible. No one
can say to-day what are the best cash
prices on fertilizers.
What the u. S. Department of Agri.
culture Says.
The above information from fer
tilizer manufacturers tallies in some
points with information received
from the United States Department
of Agriculture. The Department says
that there is an abnormal supply of
most fertilizing materials in this
country and that prices being quoted
at many lineal points seem unreason-
ably high in the light of the general
situation. One official of the Depart
ment further suggests that it seems
useless to write or wire for quota
tions since you would only get prices
corresponding to the general market
Ct approximately $27.00 to $4,000
per ton for acid phosphate. Mote
Much better prices are now being
quoted by manufacturers.)
- Buy Carefully. Use Judieiously
The Extension Service is advocat-
ing the judicious use of properly bal
'anced fertilizers this yeaf>as a means
of keeping down production costs.
Farmers are urged before buying to
get in touch with as many dealers as
possible in order to take advantage
of the competition now going on for
cash. Cooperative purchasing in car
lots or more is ALSO advised as a
means Of keeping down costs. Com
parsons should be made of formulas
and costs in order to determine the
advisability of home mixing. The
county agricultural agent, who is
keeping in close touch with the fertil-
izer situation in each county, should
be consulted.

Shipping circles have been stirred by
vet u~nfounded reports that pirates may
be responsible for the mysterious disap-
pearance of several American vessels
within the past few months. These
stories are founded on wild lumorsN
which range from possible Bolshevlk acN

connection with the finding Of certain
papers in raids conducted on the radicals
