INYENTS COTTON CHOPPER.
Rev. C. w. Hood of Lamar Has Per-
fected Invention of Far Reach
ing Importance.

Lamar, May REV. c. W. Hood,
pastor of the Baptist church of La
mar, has invented cotton chopper
which is bound to revolutionize the
cultivation Of the feecy staple. 1t is
a most ingenious device and has al
ready amply proven that it will do all
the inventor claims for it.
The cotton chopper can be pulled
by either one or two horses and by
a few minutes work, can be changed
into tooth harrow. Several practi-
cal tests wer made last week in field
near town and it was seen by all who
were presnt that the work was done
perfectly and with rapidity. 1t is a
great improvement on the hand chop
pers besides easily doing the work Of
eight or more field hands. It's inven-
ton is sure to make money for its
owner

Drawn-SuspensiOn of Busi-
ness.

Charleston, May 12.-For the first
time in 90 years, and probably much
longer. Enuor establishments were
generally closed today, as a result OF
the order Of Mayor Grace to the police
department that there should be no
liquor sold on Sundays. Every club,
hotel and blind tiger had its shades
drawn with a general suspension of
business, and the results were appar-
ent in the good order on the streets.
TIE noIice officers spent quiet
Sunday as far as arrests for drunken
ness are concerned Chief Cantwell
personally visited the hotels and lead
ing clubs, and saw for himself that the
order of the mayor had been carried
out strictly
Mayor Grace was at the station
house this afternoon, having called
for a conference with Chief Cantwell
to learn the results Of the operation Of
this order He expressed his gratifi-
cation over the situation and congrat-
ulated Chief Cantwell on the work Of
the department.
Several places were raided and
cases made out for trial. At one place
slot machine was also confscated.

THE COBURN PLAYERS.
"As You Like It' Charmingly Present
ed on the NeWberry College -
Campus.

One of the finest attractions seen in
Newberry in long time was the pre-
sentation of Shakespeare's "As You
Like It," On the campus of Newberry
college, by the Coburn Players, on
Thursday evening.
The play was given in rear Of Keller
hall. The trees formed an effective
background for natures stage, and the
seats were arranged on the gently
sloping hillside, the whole location
being ideal. S7V ~ e.
Mrs. Coburn made charming Rosa
lind, and Miss Eleanor Flowers was
effective in the role of Celia. Mr.. Co
burns Interpretation of the role of Or
lando was excellent, and Mr.. Frank
Peters, as jacques, was superb, Mr..
George Gaul made good Touchstone.
The character of Audrey was perhaps
a little over-done, but where the gen.
eraI excellence was Of such high
order, it would perhaps be as well to
eliminate any unkind criticism of min
or details.
The play was attended by fairly
large audience, but not as large as
it deserved.

At the Memorial day exercises in
the opera house On Friday morning,
greetings to the veterans from the D.
A. Dickert chapter, Children of the
.Confederacy, were brought by Miss
Mamie Paysinger. She said:
Welcome, veteran soldiers, on this
proud Memorial day! The D. A. Dick
ert chapter, the Children of the Con-
federacy, give you glad geetings here.
With open hand and full heart we
rise before you and bid you hear and
believe our words of triumphant love
for you and the glorious cause you
represent.
The third generation, your chill
dren's children, stand in this sacred
hour and lift high the song Of praise
for you and your dead comrades. You
bore the awful shock of suffering and
battle and through the deadlong night
of civil war, unfinching, saw the bit
terness of death and blood.
Shall we not have part in the
strains that tell your heroism for
beloved Dixie and our pure gratitude
to you? You are survivors of a Nigh
ty conflict and the emnants Of a de-
voted band, and in your honored com
pany our lips and souls, unused as
yet to lofty themes, would learn from
you and your example how to sing the
song of high courage and dlsinterested
virtue and to be brave in the day OF
danger.
Southern Soldiers, Men and Faith
ers, one and all, if there be in all the
earth thing so innocent and holy as
unfeigned and unselfish' JOY, it must be
ours surely when we recall the glad
release for you from the wretchedness
of that strife in which you shed your
blood for home and country. And may
that day be bright, more effulgent far
than this, in which you shall hear the
captains voice call you on high to take
your places in the now waiting ranks
of your brethren in Heaven!
Hush! They're comm! Don't you hear
'em?
Hear the rhythm of their tread?
See the dust above the highway?
See the banner overhead?
Don't your heart swell nigh to bust
in?
Don't tear bedim your eye
When the war and time worn heroes
In the gray uniforms go by?
Don't your soul swell up within you
With a rapture you can't tell,
When the band starts playing Dixie
Don't you yant to up and yell?
An go chargin' them old heroes,
An go shaking of each hand,
Or stand quiet, with your hat off,
' When it's "Dixie" by the band?
Don't you think O. begone glories,
And Stonewall Jackson? Say?
Don't you see Lees charger champin
An prancing down the way?
But each angel tunes her harp up,
In perfumed supernal gloam,
An plays Dixie, yes, an sings it,
When each Johnnie Reb come:
Home

GREETINGS TO VETERANS FROM CHILDRENS
CHAPTERS OF The CONFEDERACY.

At the Memorial day exercises in
the opera house on Friday morning,
greetings to the veterans from the O.
l.. Schumpert chapter, Children of the
Confederacy, were brought by Miss
Kathryn Harms. She said:
On this Memorial day, we, the chill
dren of the O. L. Schumpert chapter,
want to bring our greetings to the
veterans here who wore the gray.
We greet you as those who have
heard of the fame of the brave men
who left their homes to fight and bleed
and die upon the battlefield.
We greet you because you followed
such men as Lee and Jackson, and
did your best to win the victory.
We greet you, soldiers, who learned
to do your duty in the face of rafting
musketry and booming cannon.
We greet you as those who like to
think that you were brave and faith
full, and bore the brunt of battle like
knightly heroes.
We greet you as children who want
to keep alive the memory of the cour-
age of our fore-fathers in the time of
war, without remembering the bitter
ness.
We greet you, old men, whose hair
is growing grey, to tell you that we
will not forget you nor the great host
that have already heard the last bugle
call, and stacked their guns in the
bivouac Of life.
1t may not be that we shall all meet
again on another Memorial day but
we, the Children Of the Confederacy,
have come to say to you that year by
year we will light up again the camp
fires of tender memories, and tell each
other the stories of the courage and
sacrifice that the gray armies Of the
sixties showed upon the battle ground
We hope that you will live a long
time yet, but whether you leave us
soon or after many years we will re-
member you as long as there is one
green leaf or summers rose to lay
upon the monument Of lost, but
noble cause.
When fades away the man in gray,
Where shall our glory dwell,
With our cross on his breast he goes
to his rest
AS the years like beads. we tell.
May his son in blue prove him as true
AS glory's knight in gray;
May his arm be as strong, his endur,
ance as long,
When duty shall call him away.
Will he fight for pay,
AS the man in gray fought for de-
feat and loss,
Will his flag of stars and conquerine
bars
Be loved like our broken cross?
He is marching away, the man in gray
But glory keeps step by his side,
When he rests above in the tents Of
love,
May his spirit with US abide.

Sixty two of the seventy one
counties in the state have asked for
more money for road work under the
state aid law that their apporticn-
ment would amount to under the APP
preparation available next year, but
the state highway commission is hold
ing out hopes to the boards of super
visors Of these counties that further
appropriation for state aid for road
improvement will be made by the
legislature which will enable the state
to pay its full share of the cost of the
proposed improvements as fixed by the
law. The deficit as figured out from
the reports of appropriations made by
the counties for road improvement
amounts to nearly half million dol
lars, but if the people of the sixty-two
counties which have asked for this
money insist on having it next var
they can get it for their representa-
tives undoubtedly have full control
in the legislature.

laED IN CHICAGO HOSPITAL.
Mrs. Grace Schoenning Died in Michael
Reese Hospital Sunday Afternoon.

Mrs. Grace Sehoenning, aged 46
years and wife of John Schoenning,
the well known Milwaukee avenue
harness maker, died at the Michael
Reese hospital in Chicago on Sunday.
Death resulted from complication of
diseases. Mrs. Schoenning had been
taken to the hospital a week ago for
an operation, but the physicians found
that her condition was such that it
would have been unwise to have per-
formed the operation. The remains
were brought to Kenosha this after
noon and funeral services will be held
on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs.
schoenning is survived by her hust
band and one son. She had many
friends in the city to whom the an
nouncement of her death will come as
a personal sorrow.

noon and a search of the record of the
Racine hospitals fails TO show any re-
suit. The land on which the shooting
is supposed to have taken place is own
ed by Chicago man and it Is poss.-
bic that the party of hunters were
from Chicago. Efforts are being made
to have the case Investigated in Cook
county. Coroner James II. Stanton
had received no report CT any one be-
ing either killed or injured il, Bristol
or in any other town in the county OF
Sunday: Farmers in the neighborhood
of the alleged accident have sent the
story of the death of the man broad
cast and some of the stories declare
that his death was not accidental but
that he was killed following quarrel.
The whole story seems to be so emeshed
in mystery that it is impossible to get
anything that looks like facts in con-
nection with it.
Sheriff Stahl will make trip cut
into the country this afternoon and
make an effort to get some facts m
regard to the case.

BEET GROWERS UNITE
Meeting at Corliss Saturday
Brings Organization in
Two Counties
AUGUST PIPER As LEADER

More than hundred and fifty Of
the growers of sugar beets in Racine
and Kenosha county met at Corliss on
Saturday afternoon and completed the
organization of the Racine Kenosha
County Beet Growers Association 1t
is declared that within mouth the
association will number among it's
members every grower of sugar beets
in the two counties and that it will be
a militant organization seeking to Sc
cure proper consideration for the beet
growers from the sugar beet factories.
August Piper of Berryville, one of
the largest growers of beets III the two
counties, was named as president of the
association; FL. P. Nelson Of Union
Grove, vice president; and John Her
zog of Somers, secretary and treasurer.
A director was named fer every ship
ping platform in the two counties and
meeting of the directors will be held
ON next Saturday afternoon at which
time formal constitution and by laws
will be adopted and a formal notice
will be sent to every beet grower in
the two counties. It is planned to
make the organization among the beet
growers similar to the milk shippers
union and the organization will take
up with the factories the question of
contracts for the coming year.
The success of the organization is
assured said Secretary Herzog when
seen this morning. 'The beet growers
have come to see that they must unite
to protect their own interests and the
representatives Of the factories will be
instructed to appear before the direc-
tors at the meeting to be held ON next
Saturday. We are not seeking to make
any unreasonable rules in regard to
contracts, but the organization, and it
will include every grower of beets in
the two counties, will demand that the
contracts be made in such way as
to protect the grower Of beets as we'll
as the factory. I was greatly pleased
with the attendance at the meeting on
Saturday and this shows that the beet
growers are alive to the demand for
concerted action in the making of the
new contracts. We shall seek to make
contracts which will make it possible
for the growers to be assured that
their crops of beets will be marketed
without loss.'

The friends of the county training
school proposition cannot reasonably
object to the plan to give the school
a trial in rented quarters for year
or two until the need Of such an in
stitution in this county is demonstrate
ed beyond question. From present in
dications the members of the board are
quite willing to spend the money for
a new building as soon as it is shows
that it is necessary for the county to
do so in order to secure the grade of
teachers wanted in the rural schools,
but they are hesitating for fear the
demand for such training is not great
enough to warrant the expenditure of
the county money to satisfy it. They
do not care to put up an expensive
building without more assurance than
they have at present that it will be
used and the conservative way of look
ing at the proposition will find favor
with most of the taxpayers. A large
and perfectly equipped building with
few pupils from this county would Re
good deal of luxury, but as said
above there can be little objection from
either side to letting the educators
who advocate the new school shoE
that it is needed in rented quarters.

TUCK BODY AWAY IN AN AUTO
Officials of the County Take UP Investi-
CATION of Deep Mystery Story From
Bristol But Indications are That
Story Has no Foundation

Officials of the county this morning
started to make an investigation of
story sent in from the town of Bristol
in which it is declared that an I'M
known man was killed in the town of
Paris just north of the Bristol town
line on Sunday afternoon. 1t is claim
ed that the body of the dead man was
thrown in an automobile and taken
out of the county and although eff
forts have been made to find something
in regard to the identity of the man
nothing has been discovered.
Charles M. Bishop of Bristol, re-
ported the matter to the chairman Of
the town of Bristol this morning
When seen Mr.. Bishop declared that
he could not throw any light on the
mystery. ~ was simply advised by
people living in the neighborhood,
said Mr.. Bishop, that a man had
been killed at the point in question
on Sunday afternoon. 1t was alleged
that the man was one of body of SIX
hunters supposed to have come from
Racine and the story was that he was
shot and killed just after dinner on
Sunday. Later ne automobile and the
party of hunters disappeared. It is
possible that the man was wounded
and that the story Of his death is with
out foundation, but no one seems to
be able to give any further :nforma-
ton in regard to the case.'
Racine officials declare that so far
as they can learn no wounded man was
brought to Racine on Sunday after
