TWO STUNNING BL OWS DEALT SULZER
DEFENSE, COMING UNEXPECTEDLY
Witness Swears Governor Beg
ged Him to Commit Perjury
in His Defense If Called to
Testify
Asked Morgenthau Also to
Keep Quiet and to Treat
Affair Between Them as
PERSONAL urkish Ambas-
sador Recalled to Stand

ALBANY. N Y. Sept 26,-Two
stunning blows were dealt TO the
suizer defense today. Both of them
were unexpected by his lawyers
Duncan W. Peck. State super!n-
tendent Of public works, swore that
he gave Mr.. Sulzer a $500 bill as a
campaign contribution and that the
governor advised him to tell the Fraw-
ley committee that he had made no
such gift. He quoted the governor
as saying:
do as I shall: deny It." and when
Mr.. Peck protested. Suppose l shall
be under oath" Mr.. Sulzer replied,
that's rothing; forget It."
MIR. Peck said he could not be mis-
taken as to a word of the CONVERSE
ton which took place in the execu-
tive chamber OF the capitol.
The Morgauthau Loan.
The other blow came from the
prosecutions witness. Henry Morgan
thau, ambassador TO Turkey. who tes-
titled on Wednesday that he gave
contribution OF $4,000 without re
strictions. Recalled today he said
with ruef,ii frankness that Governor
Suizer over the long distance tele-
phone on September I'd or. September
Sd had asked him to treat the AFFAIR
between us as persona"
II told him l could not" said Mr..
Morganthau.
He said also that the governor
begged him III you are going to tes-
tify be easy with me- and that he
replied he would testify TO the facts.
Dwarfed by comparison with these
strange admissions was the testimony
OF Richard Croker, J,r,. as to a $4,000
check that he handed ~ SIR. Sulzer on
October 10, 1912. This check was
made payable to the order of cash
at the request Of Mr. Sulzer. The
candidate said. according to Mr..
Croker, who testified with reluctance.
that he needed ready money because
he was leaving that night or the next
day on an upstate campaign trip.
But the check was not cashed until
fifteen lays later, and the man who
then turned 1t into money was Fred
erick l.. Colwell. pictured by the i'm
parchment managers as Mr.. Suffers
agent in stock speculation. Mr..
Croker said his gift was "for cam
paign expenses or anything else"
These points were scored today by
the prosecution. There were two also
for the defense One was a ruling
by the court that witnesses should
be allowed to say whether or not
their contributions to Mr.. Suizer were

blow at the so-cailed "armor- plate
trust" was dealt by Secretary of the

struction of battleship No. 80 to the
Carbon Steel company. The price
was $44S ton.

ceipt Of letter from Assistant Sec

Ehrhardt Young Man Victim Of Dis
tressing Accident.

day night near Ehrhardt by his friend
Mr.. HERS. According to the report,
Mr.. Kinard and his friend, Joseph

Ehrhardt, left Ehrhardt after busl-
ness hours Saturday night on bicycles
for the homes of their parents in St.

tended spending the weekend. By
way Of protection along the dark
roads they had to travel, each carried
a pistol. On the way, at a particular
" dark section Of the road they de-
cided to fire their guns. Mr.. k1nard
is said to have fred several shots and
Mr.. HERS endeavored to follow suit,
but the pistol refused to act but later
went off accidentally, the ball enter
ing Mr.. Kinard's body, just below the
heart and passing through the LETT
lung.
Supporting Mr.. Kinard, Mr.. HERS
took him along the road in the direc-
tion they had come. They soon met
Mr.. Perry Kinard, who took his
wounded brother in the buggy to the
nearest neighbor's, where medical aid
was summoned. The wound proved
fatal, and at noon Sunday he died.
Before his death it is said that Mr..

CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS.
Children Should Not Have "Unload-
ed'' Rifles for Toys.

Seer Hair, young negro twenty
one years old, was shot through the
right lung and dangerously wounded
by a parlor rife in the hands Of Lon
ME Powers, an eleven-year-old white
boy, Wednesday about one o'clock, at
the corner of Divine and Assembly
streets, Columbia. Hair was rushed
to the Good Samaritan hospital
where examination showed his
wounds to be dangerous, the outcome
of which can not be told at this time.
The bullet entered his right side
lust below the ribs and ranging up
ward, passed through his right lung,
lodging in the left side just below the
heart.
Young Powers stated that he was
playing with the gun and didn't know
it was loaded when he pointed 1t at
Hair and told him to stand still a
minute. For one so young, he kept
his composure remarkably well under
the circumstances, but appeared very
solicitous for the welfare OF the vic
tim of his childish prank.
The white boy is being detained at
police headquarters for the present
pending the result OF the negro's
wounds.

HOW TO FIGHT WEEVL
SOME GOOD ADVICE SENT TO
SOUTHERN FARMERS.
Department of Agriculture Tells
Them to Destroy the Stalks and
Diversity the Crops.


The department of agriculture at
Washington is sending out warnings
to the farmers in the cotton belt,
cautioning them against the spread OF
the boil weevil. It is also advising
them through field agents how to de-
stroy and prevent the spread Of the
insect. destroy the cotton stalk ear
ly in October, if possible" advises the
department. destroy your stalks
even if your less progressive neigh
Dor does not. 1t will pay. Clear off
and burn all your rubbish on ditch
banks and other alternating places
for the weevil. This should be done
early in the fall.
''Do not plant cotton after cotton
but plant your cotton on land that
has grown heavy crop Of cowpeas,
velvet beans, lespedeza or some other
leguminous crop to supply the land
with nitrogen and vegetable matter.
Break the land in the fall or early
winter that is to be planted to cot
ton next year.
'eWhere sufficient teams and tools
are available to plow under and COM
pleteIy bury the stalks this Should by
all means be done. Where it IS I'M
possible to plow the stalks under they
should be uprooted, raked into wind
rows and allowed to dry for a few
days, they should then be burned.
To prove the value Of destroying the
cotton stalks, the department con-
Quoted experiments in Amite county,
Mississippi, last year and the follow
ing results are shown:
"'On 1T acres where no stalks
were destroyed but where all other
instructions Of the government were
followed, the average yield was 619
pounds Of seed cotton per acre. On
% acres where the stalks were de-
stroyed before October 10, and the
same cultural methods applied, the
average yield per acre was 1,O50
pounds Of seed cotton, or a gain OF
AL pounds of seed cotton per acre,
worth at that time s17.64, was secur-
ed by early fall destruction OF stalks.
If it pays a few men s17.64 per acre
to cut their cotton stalks before Octo-
Der 20, what would it mean to
county If every stalk in it were cut
before October 1922
"On the other farms in the same
county where none Of the govern
ment instruction was followed, it
took from eight to ten acres to make
a bale Of cotton"

ances of Support From All Sections
nR tho State

"I will most assuredly be in the
race for governor and will make an
unrelenting campaign" said DR.. John
G. Clinkscales, Of Wotford college,
Wednesday to a Spartanburg Herald
reported. "Also, you might say ]
will be the next governor OF the
State" Rumors have been prevalent
throughout the State for several
months that DR.. Clinkscales would
not be in the race; that he intended
to withdraw. He kills this rumor
with the foregoing statement. 1t
was said that he would be physically
unable to make the campaign be-
cause of i'll health. DR.. Clinkscales
stated that he had been campaigning
for the past fourteen years for Wof-
ford college and as an apostle OF edu-
cation and that "a little thing" like
a canvas for gubernatorial honors
would not deter him.
DR.. Clinkseales said because he
had indiscreetly exposed himself IN
all kinds of inclement weather this
summer in making his educational
speeches, he had contracted a severe
cold and had to be confined to his
room for about a week. For this
reason, I suppose" he said, 'the ru-
NOR of my physical disability started,
but since that time I have made many
speeches"
When DR.. Clinkscales made his an
nouncemert that he would be IN the
race for governor. running on com
pulsory education platform, it Great
- q deal Of interest throughout the
state, for Il ere is not hardly Sec
ten n South Carolina in which he IS
not Known. For the past fourteen
years he has averaged two speeches a
lav during the summer on education
II topics, and lie is perhaps one Of the
hoSt extemporaneous speakers in the
st;.tc and ar orator Of finished abil-
ity. In debate he is a foeman OF
tested metal.
Dr. Clinkscales said that he had
expressions Of pleasure at his decision
to run for governor and assurances OF
support from all conditions anc
classes Of people in the lectur1ng
tours over the state.
