Bankers Assisting Farmers.

Manning, Oct. 15.-In response to
the call for all persons interested in
the holding, warehousing and fnanc-
ing of cotton crop to meet in the
court house yesterday there was a
goodly attendance. Mr.. G. Allen Nc
Faddin was called to the chair and
Mr.. A. 1. Barron chosen as secre-
tary. A communication from the
four banks in Manning was read, Of
fering to lend money on cotton stor-
ed in the Manning cotton warehouse
at the rate of six per cent discount,
until the first day of February, but If
the borrower wishes to carry his loan
longer it shall be at the rate of 8
per cent. per annum.
On motion the secretary was in
structed to write each of the banks
letter expressing the thanks OF the
meeting for the offer to aid the farm
ers at such a reasonable rate OF in
terest, and it was further agreed that
the farmers borrow as little as they
possibly can. A committee of three
from each township was appointed
to ascertain how much cotton will be
held and report back to the president
of the Farmers Union, he to report
to the banks.

Section Master Killed by Negro.

Word was received in Hampton on
Monday morning of the death Of Mr..
Harry J. Joiner, section master at
Garnett, on the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, having been killed by a ne
gro. Information as to details was
hard to get, and it was not until
Wednesday afternoon that anything
could be found out. Joiner was shot
by a negro named Wash Edwards at
about 9 o'clock Sunday night and
was carried to Savannah at 5 o'clock
Monday morning, in the hope that an
operation would save his life, but ef-
forts were fruitless and he died at 8
o'clock the same morning. The re-
mains were taken to Olar, S. c., for
burial and were accompanied by his
widow, Mrs. Hattie Joiner.
The most reliable information as
to just how the killing occurred is
that Joiner accompanied Mr.. J. G.
Mckenzie, a merchant at Garnett,
out in the country, and that they had
both been drinking. Wash Edwards,
the negro, asked them for ride
when they were going back toward
home. Joiner and the negro began
quarrelling and Joiner made the ne
gro get out of the buggy, at the
same time shooting him and infict-
ing a slight flesh wound on right
side. The negro afterward was al
lowed to get back in the buggy and
peace was made between him and
Joiner.
After riding a couple of miles to
near the Guss Jones old place, 1t
is said that Edwards in some way
got hold of Joiner's pistol and shot
him four times in the stomach.
Deputy Sheriff J. Herman Light
sey and Chief G. w. Fennell, left
here in the automobile of Mr.. Reuben
Williams, of Fairfax, Tuesday after
noon and made trip of 102 miles in
chase of the negro, but it is thought
he escaped into Georgia Immediately
after the killing, and after a hunt of
4S hours the officers gave up the
hunt and returned home.-Hampton

HIT AT OLD BEN.
Gov. Blease Doubts the Truthfulness
of Senator Tillman.

The Spartanburg Herald says sur
rounded by a constantly augmented
tfrong of admirers at the Argyle
hotel Friday night, Gov. Cole l..
Blease freely expressed his views on
different subjects to a reporter for
the Herald and disclosed something
of his plans.
He made it plain that notwith-
standing Senator B. R. Tillman's de-
NAL, he believed there was truth in
the story published by w. T. Crews,
editor of the Greenwood News-Sci-
mitar, to the effect that Senator Till
man and Maj. John G. Richards, Jr.,
had plotted to bring out Chief JUS
tice Ira B. Jones, of the supreme
court, as candidate to defeat him
for governor.
He said he believed the program
had been to elect Maj. Richards lieu
tenant governor. Then, if Senator
Tillman was compelled for any rea-
son to give up his seat in the senate,
Justice Jones would take his place
and Mai. Richards would step into
the governors chair.
Expects to Beat Jones.
.''I am going to be reelected" said
Gov. Blease, when asked if he would
say anything concerning politics.
81 will beat Jones by bigger ma
jority than the one by which I de-
feated Featherstone, and if Tillman's
man Richards is a candidate will
beat them both"
Another interesting statement Of
the governor was that he intended to
remedy conditions at the hosiery mill
of the State penitentiary through
legislation to be enacted by the gen.
eral assembly at it's approaching ses-
sion. Bristling up at the suggestion
that the legislature might not be
amenable to his wishes, he said:
''They better had. That's all I
have to say"
Continuing, Gov. Blease said "that
little grand jury" in Richland coun-
ty, which found the hosiery mill to
be sanitary, had set itself against
some of the best physicians in the
State. He mentioned physicians who
he said, declared the hosiery mill
was a disease breeder, and said he
was marshalling his facts for sub
mission to the legislature.
1t was foolish the governor said,
for laymen to set themselves against
experts. For instance, he said, the
floors and walls and ceiling of the
Argyle hotel seemed to be clean and
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-10-19

sanitary. But suppose, he suggested
that expert physicians should say
that the walls end ceiling were in
tested with disease germs; would a
reasonable laymen attempt 70 con-
tradict them? This, he said, was
the case with the hosiery mill.
Speaking of legislation which he
would recommend to the general as
sembly, Gov. Blease said he would
try to obtain the passage Of law
establishing two cents a mile as a
fiat rate for passenger transportation
on the steam railroads of the State.
This, he said, would obviate the mile
age nuisance and make it possible
for poor people to travel short dis
tances as cheap as wealthy people.
Under the law he proposes, he
said, passenger who was travelling
ten miles could buy a ticket for 20
cents, or give the conductor 20 cents
or give the conductor ten miles OF
mileage, as was E1ost convenient. If
the railroad people did not trust
their conductors, he asserted, they
ought to discharge them and get
men whom they could trust; and If
he were a conductor and his en-
ployers did not trust him he would
quit his position.
The governor said he would also
recommend to the legislature all the
measures he recommended before
which were not passed.

Cotton Caterpillar Remedies.

Reports from various sections Of
the State indicate that the ravages
of the cotton caterpillar are decid-
edly general. The old cotton has
suffered relatively little from it's at
tacks, it appears from the reports in
many instances that the late cotton
has suffered rather considerable dam
age. In it's feeding, the caterpillar
eats preferably the young leaves,
buds, and squares Of the cotton.
The eggs are laid on the under side
of the leaves of the cotton, usually
on the larger and lower leaves. These
hatch out into the striped caterpil-
lars seen so abundantly, and becom-
ing full grown, web up forming a
chrysalis or cocoon from which
emerges an olive to clay-yellow col
ored moth about II inches from tip
to tip of wings, with leaden colored
spot on each fore wing. The eggs
which are overtaken by frost perish
and hence we find that the bulk of
these forms pass the winter in the
chrysalis or pupal stage. Fall plow-
ing Of affected areas will be of
great destructive damage to the win
tering forms.
The best remedial measure is the
application Of Paris green at the rate
of 2k pounds per acre applied In
the dry form in the early morning
when the foliage is moist. A one
inch board, about 8 inches in width,
about 6 inches wider on each end
than the width of the cotton row,
and trimmed in the middle 50 as to
make it easily handled before man
Oh a mule is the chief piece of ap-
paratus needed. A one or two inch
auger hole should be bored in either
end so as to fit the rows, and under
these should be tackled an ounce
duck bag. The Paris green can then
be poured into these bags, and the
opening closed. If Intelligent labor
is used, by experimenting, jolt on
the board can be determined sufici-
emily strong to put out the required
2 to 2 II pounds to the acre. Should
this not be the case, it would be bet
ter to use cheese-cloth bags and di-
lutte the Paris green to about 10
times it's volume with land plaster,
-four, or air Stacked lime. The cat
erpillars taking this substance into
their digestive tracts are poisoned by
the arsenic contained in it, and death
follows as the result. Paris green
may be obtained from almost any
drug store at about twenty-five cents
(25c.) per pound.

SOME SIMPLE DIRECTIONS
FOR MAKING DRAWNWORK

right-hand corner and proceed with the
simplest stitch.
Divide the strands on each side into
three portions. Carry the needle over
to the side. catch into the middle Of the
side and throw the thread over the point
of the needle, making 4 twisted loop.
Next, carry 1t directly above and sep
arate one-third OF the strands from the
rest: throw the strand over the needle
point to make another twist. 1t is
loose, underdrawn buttonhole stitch. Go
TO the left side in the same way and
finish at the bottom of the square by
twisting the needle about the first thread
and fastening to the edge Of the hem.
Oversew the edge finely until you come
to the next vacant block. The spider
stitch is made by using darning stitch
and weaving in. a circle twice around the
little square and knotting the thread
when it goes over or under.
Butterflies are woven in by using the
darning stitch. Begin with six for the
body and widen until the wings are the
desired size; curve slightly.
In drawnwork. the number and COM
bination of stitches are almost endless
You can secure designs, patterns, and

VOGUE OF TRANSPARENT MATERIALS NOT
AFFECTED BY COMING CHANGE OF SEASON
Back Shelves Richer
Be Among Handsome
for Thin Ros-Th e.acedSa SatnsOn More
the Hasa Hood

Transparent materials are just as prom
inent among the new fabrics as they
have been for several seasons past. And
from all advices to this hour, ii seems
that veilings are to be in quite as strong
favor for fall and winter as they were Tor
spring and summer. So long as the over
skirt remains, and it is even more pop
ular now than il was three months ago.
fabrics of contrasting material Will con-
tinue to appear in the wardrobe. And
what is so effective in contrasts as silks
or satins with gauzy weaves?
One of the fancieS for the coming sea-
son will undoubtedly be the yelling OF
brocades with chiffon, mousseline and the
thin marquisettes.
New Brocades Very Rich.
Some of the new brocades provided for
this use are passing lovely. Many Of
them are shot abundantly with gold in
actual metal or colored silk. and the
gleam of this metallic effect will greatly
enhance the richness of handsome gowns.
Some Of the chiffons are shot with tinsels
or are embroidered with it. Embroidered
effects among the transparent materials
are abundant
For simpler gowns, the chiftons and
their kind will continue to be used over
stripes and checks and over changeable
silks, with the foundation making the
lower part OF the skirt. The gown in
the drawing shows one OF the new
striped silks with a chiffon Overdress.
The collar is like the skirt and the
sash and belt are embroidered hand
somely. These fiat side tabs falling
over or under the belt are good deal
used. The little Crossover fiat band at
the throat is another of the pretty
fancIes which still remain.
There are a good many novelties
among the new materials. One of them
is a velvet of tweed effect in the new
two-toned shot appearance of the sturdy
wool The result is not happy, but 1t is
fashionable, which is the next thing
ChangeabIe Effects Appear.
Changeable effects appear not only
among the new silks. but abundantly
suitings. And many of the two-toned
woods which are mixed on one side and
are plain on the other are shot or fecked
with bright colors.
Some of these color schemes are very
effective. Dark tones with touches Of
bright color seem 10 be very much liked
by the tailors. who are buying up pieces
in which they predominant as fast as
they come in.
The double-faced satins are here once
more and promise to make the hand
soonest coats and capes for the fall with
the under color cropping out in trim5
mings and the hoods which are so pre-
valent.
Even the sweater has taken to itself
hood. the hood usually being Of the
accessory color One such sweater was
white, with a band of tan color down the
front and around the neck. and the hood
was of the tan. Big hoods are evidently
coming in again for cold weather wraps.

ANSWERS TO FOR RENT PUZZLE
PROVE CLEVERNESS OF MANY

After all, the For Rent Puzzle was
not such a difficult matter of solution
as the Puzzle Circle would have had
me believe last week, for there were
a good many answers to il that came
within one number of being entirely
correct.
The first of these was submitted by
Mr.. J. G. Shearer, 1915 H street north
west, Washington, which entities Mr.
Shearer to the first prize of S3.
The second prize of 81 f. won by
Mrs. L. p. McIafIre, 12S c street north
east, Washington, who also came with
list of answers.
The chIIdren's prize IL awarded Mas
ter Joseph Brewer, jr., aged thirteen,
1928 COrcOran street northwest, WASH
inEtOn. This young puzzIer lacked but
two numbers of having a complete So
luton.
In the adult class there were many
prize winers which contained but one
error.
Many children, too, came as close to
the mark as Master Brewer, but their
lists did not reach me so soon.
In a puzzle so filed with variations
as was the For Rent" enigma, IL
seems to me an exceptional thing to
have received so many solutions so
nearly correct. The incident but fixes
more firmly in my mind the fact Of the
unfailing cleverness of the Puzzle Cir
Gle, to which I extend my congratu-
lations. ]. C. NJ

During the past week the earnest de-
sire of The puzzle circle for some re-
taxation in the hard hunt for advertisers
was made known to me variously.
I told you during the week Of the
telephone message I had from one small
puzzler of the children's class who was
determined to extract a promise of an
easier puzzle for another week before
ne agreed 10 work on the for rent list
at all.
An older member of the circle told me
wearily that I had now dragged the prize
contestants from end to end of the city.

them on through business houses 1 had

By DOROTHY DIX.

Within the last few weeks the police
have been asked to search for two young
girls who have mysteriously disappeared
from home, very much after the fashion
In which Dorothy Arnold did.
In both Of these cases, as in the Ar
mold case, the girls belong to fine fam
ilies, who were more than comfortably
rich. They had good homes, kind and
loving parents, they were surrounded by
luxury, but they were restless and dis
satisfied, and had repeatedly expressed a
desire to earn their own living. and to
have some definite occupation in life.
This Idea the parents pooh-poohed. Abb
surd. Ridiculous! Thank goodness,
Mamie or Susie didn't have to work.
She could have all the pretty clothes,
and go TO all the parties she wanted to,
and what in heavens name could a girl
desire more?
But Mamie and Susie happened not to
be girls with pink tea souls. Also they
were very young and foolish, and ro-
mantle, and inexperienced. and so
Mamie and Susie committed the incred-
ible folly Of running away from home,
apd their frantic parents are trying to
find them.
Let US hope that no harm will befaIl
these little feminine soldiers of fortune,
and that they will go back home hav-
ing learned a lesson, and that their
parents will also have learned another
lesson.
The Moral of 1t All.
For the moral Of the affair is this
that modern conditions, modern edu-
cation. modern modes of thought have
produced a new girl. just as they have
produced a new woman. and that she
has got to be dealt with on a new plat
form. The old. medieval bread=and-
water, lock-her-up-in-a-room

won't do.
The new girl as a condition and not
a theory that confronts her parents, and
they are just as much added and
frustrated over her, and know as little
what to do with her. as the old hen
