Uic announcement that the Indepen

termed to take over practically all of
the Independent fertiliser companies
of th« south. It will, it Is said, enter
Into active competition with the Vlr-
*lnla-Carollna Chemical Company,
which holds full sway.
It Is said that the new fertilizer
company has been financed by
Herpout Morgan.
Its formation Is the outgrowth of
sulphuric acid production at Duck
town, Tenn., which in Itself Is the
outcome of a suit brought by the
state to enjoin the copper companies
of that section from injuring land
across the line in Ceorgia by means
of sulphuric acid.
The new company is said to be
jrepa.Ing to enter the Held deter
mined to get its share of the busi

of con ; acts with copper companies,
it will he able to obtain all the sul
phur..- acid It wants at $3 per ton,

second most Important, in the manu
facture of fertilizers.

FRUIT CROP IN DANGER
IF BUDS BUT SWELL
‘Many Trees Are Blooming
Already
Next Sunday the First Baptist
church will have ns iis pastor Rev.
Lansing Burrows, late of the First
Baptist church of Nashville, Tenn. Dr.
Burrows left Nashville yesterday for
Thomasvllle, and will come to Ameri-
cus some time this week.
His departure from Nashville was
taken with many expressions of regret
from Ills own church, and from the
other Baptist churches of the city, ns
well as from members of other de
nominations.
Iu an account of the farewell ser
vices to Dr. Burrows, the Nashville
Tennessean said:
One of the most beautiful and Im
pressive services ever held In Nash
ville was that held at the First Bap
tist church yesterday afternoon by tho
Baptist ministers of -the city in honor
of Dr. Lansing Burrows, who leaves
soon for his new home In Amerlcus,
Ga.
/ While there has been no material
Carnage to Georgia's peach crop to
Cate, It Is verging on the danger
line and unless the weather goes
•older, within the next few days the
Celt ruction Is liable to be extensive.
This Is the view taken by State En
tomologist E. L. Worsham who has
■ecetvcd a number of reports to the
affect (he trees here and there have
already burst into bloom.
So far, however, this has happened
anjjr In Isolated cases principally In
Sonth Georgia.
So far the buds are-not sufficiently
advanced to be affected by a freeze
bat every day of this high tempera
tore firings them out gradually more
and mote, and if this continues for
ten days, it Is feared It will be all
aver with the Georgia crop or the
Ikrger part of it.
Of course, we don't anticipate any
thing of the kind; It would be al
most unprecedented. So far only a
-tew trees have bloomed as Is usually
the case with the first warm spell of
the winter, but these are not enough
to pay any attention to except a
Indication of the possibilities should
the warm spoil he of exceptional dur
ation.
If the trees should bloom now the
first frost would mean an end of the
1909 crop.
Dr. Burrows preaclied his farewell
sermon yesterday morning to a large
congregation, and he will leave lit n
few days for Amerlcus.
This very popular minister has been
pastor of the First Baptist church
here for nine years, and when he re
signed two weeks ago It caused many
expressions of sincere regret, not
only from members of his own con
gregation, but from many outside this
church, who have known Dr. Bur
rows and who appreciate his immense
value to the community.
The service yesterday afternoon
was presided over by Dr. E. E. Folk,
and the principal address of the af
ternoon was delivered by Dr. George
A. Lofton. The service was partici
pated In by all the Baptist ministers
of the city, nnd at the conclusion of !
the very interesting address by Dr.
Lofton, short talks were made by the
ministers. Each one expressed the
highest personal regard for Dr. Bur
rows, as well as an appreciation of
his splendid service to the church ov
er which he presided, as well as his
influence In the community.
The music for the occasion was es
pecially beautiful, and the entire ser
vice was very Impressive.

RAN AMUCK WITH KNIFE
AND KILLS A CONVICT
The press dispatches Monday
told tho story of a bloody deed com
mitted gy a felony convict, Hight
ower, by name, a negro sent to.the
penitentiary from Amerlcus. The
■rime was committed In a south Geor
gia camp, Hightower, In a fit of
rage, jumping upon an inoffensive
convict chained to him, hacking him
to pieces. With a huge knife the
black demon leaped with devilish glee
upon the other convict, chained and
unarmed, driving the long knife sev
eral times through the body of bis
■victim ere the guard could knock
film senseless nnd overpower him. It
Ik said that the other negro was liter
ally hacked to pieces.

As a'place of residence, Dr. Bur
rows will occupy the Hnrrold resi

the finest houses In the city and
Is modern In every respect. This
home was secured by officials of the
First Baptist church, and accepted by
Dr. Burrows on their recommendi

he will be pleased with their selec
tion.
600D ROADS DEBATE
HELD AT LESLIE
A discussion of the proposed issue
of good roads bonds by Sumter coun-!
Judge J. A. Hlxon, County Attorne:
has returned from Atlanta, where he
went to consult with Attorney Gener
al Hart relative to the good roads
bond election which will be held In
Sumter county on Feb. 11. The only
question Is as to the handicap which
the use of old registration lists would
place on the election. These lists
were prepared before the disfran
chisement law went into effect, and
there Is no provision for another reg
istration for six months. Elections
held In the Interval will have no reg
istration list to guide.
From conversation with Attorney
General Hart, Judge Hlxon ascertain
ed that the views of that official were
that the new law was already In
feet, and that the colored voters could
ho interrogated as provided under the
recent constitutional amendment, and
if they did not qualify, could
stricken from the list. The same
course would be taken with those who
have not paid their polls.
The fear has been expressed that
the heavy registration on the old lists,
with the small number comparatively,
who would vote, would defeat the
proposition, even though every man
who voted stood for the proposed
bond Issue. Applying the yard stick of
the new law os far as possible, the
list would be cut down very materially,
and thus make ( tbe passage of the bond
proposition sure.

A man handed a merchant a check for $50.00 to apply on account. Tho
merchant neglected to give proper credit, and six months later rendered »
statement to the customer.
The customer called his attention to the error In falling to credit the
check, which the merchant denied having received. When the customer
produced tbe check bearing the merchant’s endorsement, there were abject
apologies—but no argument.
Without that check as evidence the customer would have been forced
to pay again, hence the $50.00 check was worth $100.00.
