Honolulu, where she put in more than

Geier leaves by specified date, which
was not made public, she will be in

1t was said the Japanese inquiry was
not in the nature Of a protest al
though Japan is known to be anX-

the threatened danger to Japanese
shipping in the Pacific.
A large Japanese cruiser has been
just outside Honolulu harbor since

OUTLINE. DUTIES OF OFFICERS
Hoard Tells Rural Policeman What
TO DO and What Not to DO.

The County board of Commission
crs at its regular monthly meeting
yesterday called the rural policemen
OF the county before it and inform
cd them of what duties were expected
of them. The matter was discussed
informally and information for the fu-
ture guidance OF the policeman was
given. This matter was taken up at
the request of and on complaint of IL
number Of citizens from different
parts of the county. The complaint
was that the rural policemen had been
doing the work Of deputies and of
magistrates cOnstables in the serving
OF papers and warrants, instead Of
strictly attending to their own duties
as rural policemen.
The board discussed the financial
situation and the slowness with which
taxes were coming in. The supervisor
was authorized to negotiate Il loan
for the carrying on tho work in the
county and meeting expenses, if he
found this necessary.
Other routine matters were attended
to and Lills were audited and ordered
paid.

ot all the daily and agricultural pa
pers in the Southern States to discuss
The cotton situation. The general pur-
pose of the meeting is to organize q
system of publicity that will encourage
Il voluntary reduction of the cotton
acreage next year and the planting Of
unused lands in other crops.
1t is planned to adopt a system of
reporting pledges to. reduce acreage
to centr, body which in turn would
inform the trade within 80 days to
what extent reduction is contemplated.
Plans for united effort for crop
diversiiication will be formulated. Cot
ton IN its relations to banking and
the country merchant also will be con-
sidered.
From investigations already made
by some Of the papers," the announce
lnent states. sufficient data have
peen secured from farmers to war
rant the belief that proper publica-
ton Of voluntary pledges Of curtail-
ment of production will result in a
general reduction, the extent Of which
made public would influence the prices

nearer its value than the price now
quoted"

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Greenville, Nov. 3.-Sheriff Hendrix
Rector has been cited 20 appcar De-
fore Judge S. w. G.. Shipp, sitting in
general sessions, to show cause why
he should not be attached for con-
tempt of court.
Sheriff Rector had published in the
Greenville News signed article last
sunday morning arraigning the grand
jury for its recent actions in present
lnS aim to the court and for having
scrutinized his official record and at
tempting to indict him for malfeas-
ance in Office. He said in the article
that the grand jury was actuated by
political animosity and one man in
particular had been behind the grand
jury and SOaded it on to the exami-
mutton of his books and of many wit
ncSses in search of detrimental evil
dtEce.
The article appeared simultaneous
" with the presentment of the grand
1nry. The sheriff will answer Mon
day morning and will be represented
by James II. Price, who says that
hector is not in contempt in that the
grand jury had been DISCHARGED the
night before the article appeared.

Now while every Southern farmer
Is wracking his brain to devise some
means for bridging the chasm be-
tween poverty and Il fair price for

clerks in the hotels to the president
OF railroads are advising him what to
do to escape destruction, a few lines
from me at this time might not lie
ainiss. 1t seems to be pretty genc,-

to get away from cotton and devote
his attention for the next few years
ut least to the production of food
crops, hogs and cattle. There is no

Will give safer or quicked returns on

to his ability to grow hogs in compe-
tition with the west or any other Sec

has been against him. His hog kill
ing weather is the worst gambling
proposition in the world. He may
have to keep his hogs and feed them
just twice as much corn after they
are fat as it took to fatten them. inst

depend on the west for meat.

markets in the production of pork
