SMALL FIELD
QUALITIES IN
CLUB TOURNEY
n OWING to the heavy rain of
Friday afternoon only AZ

n OWING to the heavy rain Of
Friday afternoon only Al
players qualihed for the Pres
| idents cup in the tournament started
| July 4 over the course Of the Atlanta
Athletic Club.
Twenty players, virtually all those
who started their qualifying round in
the afternoon, were disqualified by
the application Of the fool taking
shelter rule
This rule, designed for the driZZly
English and Scotch climate and for
professional play, is ludiCrous when
applied to amateur tournaments in
the South, where storms of cyClonic
violence are likely to sweep over the
course any afternoon, making play
impossible.
If the local club insists on enforC-
ing that rule, players who can not
start their qualifying play in the
morning will do well to stay out
rather than to contribute to the
prizes of those who are able 20 quail
ify in the mornings, when thunder
storms are not to be looked for.
The pairings for match play in the
Presidents cup follows:

Cross is the only contender for
the lightweight championships.
Yesterday he took the rugged An
derson, strong as a bull, teeming with
confidence From the first stab at
the body which opened the fray to
the last sizzling right hook that flat
tened him for ten minutes-never
mind the ten seconds-Anderson was
second. In the first ClinCh he was
blocked with his right chop at the
short ribs. Perhaps the loss of his
ace so early in the game too some
of his confidence. II is a red white
and blue certainty that two body
blows which Cross tore into Ander-
son in the seventh round took about
all his steam. From that on he was
kosher.

TO SHUT OUT BOIL WEEVIL.
SENATOR T.. ID. SMITH HAS PRE-.
VENTIVE PLAN.
south CarOlinian Thinks Invasion
could be Checked by Establishing
"a Barrier Belt.

Washington, July S.-Plans for the
federal government to raise a barrier
against the boil weevil of the South
western cotton states invading the At
lantic coast States, are being drafted
by Senator Smith of South Carolina.
Secretary Houston Of the department
of agriculture is said TO have given
the PROPOSITION his tentative approval.
Senator Smiths plan is for the fed
eral government, with State coopera.
ton, to prohibit the growing of cot
ton in a belt which would separate
the Atlantic Coast States from the
southwestern States. As the bon
weevil migrates only from cotton
field to cotton field, the senator be-
lieves this belt would save the States
TO the east of it from the pest which
mas cost cotton raisers to the south
west millions Of dollars annually.
According to investigation already
made the narrowest belt where a bar
rir might be raised would be in
Alabama, between the mountains
near the Tennessee line and the gulf.
This would be a distance Of about 15O
miles. The boil weevil already has
swept over Texas, Oklahoma. Louis
lana, Arkansas and is said to be trav-
cling eastward into Alabama. Sena-
tor Smith is preparing to urge upon
the senate that this narrow belt will
be a practical barrier if immediate
action is taken to establish il. II
effective it would protect most OF
Alabama and all of Georgia, Florida,
South Carolina and North Carolina
from the weevil.
The barrier to be effective must be
SO miles wide, it is believed. The
growing Of cotton in that zone would
be prohibited, but the farmers could
raise any other crops.
Senator Smiths plan is to have the
federal government compensate the
farmers in this zone for not planting
cotton. He is investigating the ac~
ton of the federal government in
stamping out yellow fever in Louis
lana and in establishing forest re-
serves for the conservation Of re-
sources in order to have precedents
for his plan.
Senator Smith today consulted
Senator Kern Of Indiana, the Demo
cratic leader, and won his promise Of
approval of a feasible plan to &C
complish the desired object.

all "cussing" must cease has now
been in operation for one week and
the strongest words that are heard at
police barracks now are 'shucks,"
tut. tut" with an occasional gosh

used to live on the farm.
The order came as the result of the
declaration that entirely too many

tives.

ton will be 50 broad in scope that q
report will not be made for several

ing the decisive matter in which the
house :GIled over at the suggestion
that the investigation committee
should report by September l.
1t is also understood today that
the inquiry will pay specific attention
to the activities of the liquor and an
u-Hquor organization during the
probe. Mr.. Mann, minority leader.
upon several occasions, referred to the
necessity of looking into the opera
tions of the Anti-Saloon league, as
we'll as their adversaries, and he
also thought the committee could
spend some time profitably investi-
eating labor and anti-labor organiza-
tions.
Congressman Small of North Caro-
lima wanted to instruct the house
committee to report is findings by
September l. A howl of protest went
up over the house, and the Small
amendment was overwhelmingly de-
feated. Those in touch with the sit
uatiOn believe the house committee
will not have have half completed
It's work by September l. Under the
resolution reported by the rules COM
mittee the house probers have prac-
tcally unlimited inquisitorial powers,
and they may go into the question of
all lObbies, large and small, insidious
and innocent. Not only will the Null
hall charges be probed to the bot
tom, but the house committee, under
a blanket resolution of authority, will
seek to chase to it's lair every lobby
which may exist now or may have ex-
listed in Washington.

Orangeburg News.
Mayor Jennings, of Sumter, has
accepted an invitation to come to
this city on Thursday evening of this
week and address a mass meeting of
the voters of this place. Mayor Jen-
nings will come to this city upon the
invitation of the gentlemen here in

as large meeting as possible be
held to hear Mayor Jennings.
1t is we'll known that Sumter, a
city Of equal size to Orang eburg, is
now working under the Commission
plan of Government. The manner in
which Sumter is now governed will be
almost identical with the form of gov
ernment which the advocates of Com
mission form desire for Orangeburg.
Mayor Jennings is in position to
tell in dollars and cents how the
new form Of government has work
ed out in Sumter, and it is hoped that
the voters of Orangeburg will be
present to hear for themselves just
what Mayor Jennings thinks of the
commission form, whether he
would advise it's adoption for Or
angeburg.
Every man who is interested in the
advancement of the city of Orange
burg should be present at this meet
ing.
