Fighting the Sparrow.

Long has the warfare against
the English sparrow been in
progress, without much success.
for the bird is so prolific and so
hardy, that it multiplies and
hourishes in spite of the wrath
of man, and continues to be a
nuisance generally. All sorts
Of plans have been tried to ex-
terminate the pugnacious spar
row, which seems to thrive on
shot and poison, inasmuch as
these means of thinning out its
ranks have been but of little
avail. The latest plan is one
that presents a curious method,
that of Intoxicating the greedy
sparrow and then capturing it
while drowsiness droops it's
wings and weighs down its
brain. Sparrow hunters in
Grand Rapids, Mich, have tried
the intoXicatiOn idea with con-
siderable success, and there is
no reason why the method
should not be generally adopt
ed.
AS everybody knows, the
sparrow is vOracious and fat
tens upon city fare where al
most any other sort of bird
would soon starVe to death. In
stead Of spending its time de
vouring harmful insects and
thereby earning the protection
of the farmer, the sparrow robs
the chickens of their food,
drives desirable birds away,
and, in large numbers, finds
shelter about houses and other
buildings in a manner very OBJ
iectionable.
But if by hook or crook, the
sparrow can be induced to tum-
BILE off the water wagon, and
revel in the eating of whiskey
soaked oats, as those in Grand
Rapids do, to their destruction,
then the sparrow problem will
approach solution. 1t seems
that the 10y oat" is what spar
row haters have been looking
for these many years. The
only objection is that poultry
and live stock might likewise
cultivate fancy for the load
ed" oat, and thus would very
regrettable habits develop
among sober hens and respect
able cows, something that even
an alleviation of the sparrow
nuisance would hardly warrant.

Speed of Automobiles.

The ease with which an auto
mobile is driven causes the
careless owner to forget how
ponderous-swift and danger
Gus an instrument he is guild
ing. He is running huge and
complicated machine frequent
ly without the skill or training
that are demanded as prereq-
uisite for such occupations. A
turn of a lever will increase the
speed, but unfortunately quick
stop or change of direction is
not equally easy. Before he
knows it he is running too swift
for the welfare of pedestrians.
This may occur without a mo-
ment's consciousness of the
risk. Moreover, the occupant
of an easy running, powerful
car is not aware of the speed at
which he is travelling. Good
streets ana a fine spring above
inflated tires conspire to make
him overlook how narrow often
is the escape OF a passerby. A
woman may be trembling for
an hour from her leap out of
the way, although the rider
himself may have laughed at it.
In addition, all of the small dis
comforts are unshared in by the
occupants. The dust is left be-
hind, and the odor never MOTTO
ed. If these things do attract
his attention, ne judges of them
only as the necessary evils ac-
companying his hurried pas
sage. But a pedestrian may
have to endure an almost con
tinuous shower of dust and a
steady gust of foul-smelling gas
on the road or sitting in the
park.-Richmond Times.

Landrum Dentist Injured While
Filling Dynamite Can

Spartanburg Special to Char
lesion News and Courier, Feb.
Is: DR.. r. T. Wilds, a dentist
of Landrum, was painfully in
jured last night when a dyna-
mite cap which he was filing,
ignorant of its character, eX
ploded. His right thumb was
blown off and one eye so badly
damaged that it is doubtful if
it can be saved. DR.. Wilds
found the cap in his office,
where it had been left by his
predecessor, and thinking it to
be nothing but brass plug,
started to file it down so that
it could be used as a stopper for
an alcohol bottle. DR.. Wilds
was taken to Asheville for an
operation. He came to Land
rum from Florence last Septem-

HOLD DOWN ACREAGE.
Commissioner Watson Issues
Warning to Southern Cotton
CrOwarS

Columbia Special to Charlotte
Observer, Feb. 16: A warning
to the farmers of the South to
hold down their acreage in cot
ton for the coming year if they
wish to keep cotton at its pres
ent price was issued today by
E. j. Watson, commissioner of
agriculture, commerce and in
dustries, in his capacity as pres
ident of the Southern Cotton
Congress. Mr.. Watson refers
to his and others fight last year
for reducing the acreage and
the beneficial results in the way
Of increased price for the staple
but he warns the farmers not
to listen to the song of 13 cents
and plant the face of the earth
in cotton. Says he: THE dam
ger to you and yours is greater
by far than last year. If you
must have a larger acreage on
your farm put the increase in
corn and other food clops."
In another part of his state
ment he says: "In this state |
have endeavored to get the gen
eral assembly to enact simple
cotton statistic gathering law
that will force facts on the
world when they should be
there, not when it is too late,
this measure, which would aid
in some degree, not yet a law,
Oklahoma already has it and
your organizations have all ask
ed for it in every cotton state.
Again let me beg of you to
watch your acreage, and let
good sense instead of lack of
judgment guide you in the
planting of your crop this year.
If you don't you will face in the
fall situation that may be the
most serious you have ever
faced.
"The fight for justice to
Americas greatest money crop
cannot be won by a few year
after year, it must command
the personal cooperation of
every grower of cotton"

FOREIGNERS FLEE
FROM MEXICO CITY
Panic-Stricken Fugitives Are
Being Hurried From the
Danger ZOne-Three Ameri-
can Dreadnaughts Anchored
at Vera Cruz.

at Vera Cruz.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Hur-
ried preparations were made in
Mexico City today for the flight
of American women and chill
dren from the stricken city to
safety within the borders of the
United States.
AS soon as the armistice had
been declared the American
embassy staff and the commit
tee appointed by Ambassador
Wilson began the work of as
sembling the panic-stricken
fugitive women and children at
the embassy. Many who hith-
erto had paid no heed to the
warning of the ambassador to
leave the city, now were eager
to embrace any measure which
meant their deliverance from
the panic which has followed in
the wake of a weeks disorders.
EASIEST WAY TO SAFETY.
1t was pointed out that the
easiest way to safety lay via
Vera Cruz. Once arrived at the
port of the capital city, the
refugees would have full pro-
lection pending the continu-
ance of their journey by steam
er to American soil. One Ameri-
can dreadnaught, the Georgia,
already lies at anchor in Vera
Cruz harbor, and two others,
the Vermont and Nebraska, are
due tomorrow. With the guns
of three sea monsters levelled
toward the city, refugees would
have little to fear, but if neces-
sity should arise the fugitives
could be taken aboard ship.
While preparations for flight
of the women and the younger
members of the American col
ony were going forward the
work of removing all foreign
ers from the danger zone was
entered upon in earnest and
hundreds sought safety in the
neighborhood of the American
embassy, where every kind of a
shelter was employed as a place
of refuge.
