Fertilizer Situation.

1t is an accepted fact that Wnen
the price of crops are low, higher
Yields per acre must be striven for.
Fertilizers have been the chief de-
pendence of the Southern farmer for
pushing up yields in the past. This
wear he would, of course, like to have
fertilizers so cheap that he could
use them to the limit. But it seems
that fertilizers will not be sold as
cheaply as they have been in the
past.
On the part of the fertilizer manu-
facturer there is a claim that they
cannot possibly get back to pre-war
prices this year. One reason given
as to why this cannot be done ls'
that the industry is carrying very
heavy load of farmers accounts that
came over from 1920. In order to
carry these notes the manufacturers
have been forced to borrow heavily.
Yet, in spite of this, losses have al
ready occurred on 1920 accounts. In
addition there was considerable ma
terial bought at peak prices last sum-
mer for use in manufacturing mixed
fertilizers this year. On this they
stand to lose.
The fertilizer industry is under
writing the farmers of the South to
the extent of about $15O,OOo,Ooo
Had the fertilizer manufacturers
closed in and collected all the far,
mers' notes when they fell due it is
probable that there would have been
widespread financial disaster.
Instead of a ruthless policy, toler
ance has been accorded the farmer
This policy has burdened the manu-
facturer so heavily that it is claimed
that fertilizer prices cannot be re
duced and further during this sea

South Carolina Baptists Have
Never Failed Us.

At a recent meeting of the Gener-
al Board there was going on dis
,cussion as to the probabilities of col
lecting the entire amount subscribed
in the Sevety-fve Million Campaign.
Various members of the Board were
expressing doubt as to our ability to
meet our obligations as assumed by
us in our subscriptions. There was
considerable pessimism. Presently
DR.. w. T. Derieux, who for so long a
time has been secretary of Missions
in South Carolina, stood up and said,
Brethren, South Carolina Baptists
have never failed US. They will not
fail US now. We shall collect the
whole amount" There was emotion
in his voice and the suspicion of tears
in his eyes. AS 1 reflected upon his
long and intimate knowledge of South
Carolina Baptists, the great work
which he has done with them and for
them and through them, and observ-
ed the confidence with which he made
the assertion, I thanked God and took
courage. Never have / seen a more
beautiful and touching tribute to the
reliability of the Baptists of South
Carolina. One who knows them and
loves them with all of his hearts de-
votion believes profoundly that they
will not fail even in the time of stress
and difficulty. He believes that the
conservation of our people will more
than overmatch the difficulties of the
situation, judged from financial
standpoint. May it be so. God is with
US; we are doing great work; we
have vowed that we would give Him
so much; let us not fail. Every de-
partment of work needs it. The king
dom of God is going to forward with
leaps and bounds. This money must
go into His Golfers.
In reading over a report of the fac
ulty of Furman University made in
1872 to the State Convention, l
found that there were As students IN
the institution. Of these it was report
ed that 20 were protesting Christians
and 9 had declared their purpose to
enter the ministry. Less than half
the total number of students were
Christians. How different now, when
-three-fourths to four-fifths are Chris
:tian young men, most of them with
considerable interest in practical
Christian work. This made me again
than God and take courage. We are
going toward better day. The Lord
is leading on.-Dr. McGlothlin in
Baptist Courier.

Effects or Constipation.

Constipation causes a stoppage OF
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the sys-
tenn and often poisons the blood and
causes numerous disorders. No one
can afford to neglect his bowels. A
dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will
affords relief. Avoid drastic cathar,
tics as they take too much water out
of the system and their use it likely
to be followed by constipation.

several days after, the sheriff's
office, the local police, and autho-
rites from the railroad company,
carried on an investigation, and
quite few of the notorious
youngsters of the community
were grilled. What effect the in

The concensus of opinion
among the people Of this town, is
that if the community has a Cur
few Ordinance it should be rigid

niles, should be Jailed,
and their parents could apply the
law, secure the Habeus Corpus

they uphold their children in

LecOq Is Made
State Fire Marshal

Announcement was made MOn-
day to the effect that Conrad J.
Lecoq, for a number of years de-
putty in the State Fire Marsha's
Office, hdd been appointed State
Marshal by Governor Parker.
The appointment is no surprise
to us, as we had been given to un
derstand by Conrad, the last time
we saw him that he had every
reason to believe he would be the
man. LecoQ, is a newspaperman,
was owner of the Pointe Coupeo
Banner, which was destroyed by
fire only last week, and was at
one time President of the Louisi-
Press Association. He is well
qualified for the position, and we
feel sure that ne will fill the Of
flee to the satisfaction of the
State, the people and himself, and
be a ascredit to the Governor, who
favored him with the trust. Coed
luck to you, old boy.

License Dodgers
Being Observed

Attention is being given the
fact that some auto owners got
by with licenses in previous
years. The fact should be repor-
ted to the local authorities, or to
the Secretary of State. In 1920,
over four hundred thousand dol
lars were collected, at a cost of
about three per cent from this
source. The money reverts to the
parishes from which it origi-
mates, and as it is used for the
upkeep Of the public road, the
taxpayers should be particularly
anxious to see that none escape.
There is a penalty for all failing
to comply with the law, a fine or
Imprisonment and the fine also re
verts to abe parish in which the
violator is located and goes to the
road up keep Of that parish. Earn
est cooperation on the part of all
citizens is anxiously desired by
the authorities.

The period of reconstruction

Who are in a position to know

The subject. The readjustment
was not long, and from all reports
the worse is over, and from this
month on things are bound to
pick up. There may have been
some losses, and their will un-
doubtedly be others where pro-
teers had stored stocks for high
er prices, and were caught in the
slump. Unfortunately the agri-
culturists in all lines got the
worst of it.

as a measure by no means possi-
BILE of assisting the farmer, but
more for the manufac-
turer and to be exploited at the
expense of the consumer. The
bill is full of jokers, and authori-
tatlve sources are quoted as say
ing the prices of goods will lean,
but the growers are not to be the
gamers. This measure, and ta-
riff in general, will simply in
vite retaliation and will be a
boomerang. Time alone can tell
who is guessing right at present,
but the world has changed, con-
ditlons have changed, and a
tariff of any kind may be a detri-
nent rather than an assistance.
The revival of the War Finance
Corporation is also deplored frora
many sources.

were raised in this way. Reports
from the rest of the parish have
net yet been received. The
