OPENING bOLLS
INDICATE CROP
MOVEMENT SOON
SUMTER'S FIELDS SHOWING MANY
OPEN BOLLS.

Open cotton bolls are making their
appearance in Americas in numbers
now, and point Enthusiastically to new
bales of the fieecy staple to follow
shortly. The first bolls of the present
crop were sent in last Saturday. 18th
from the plantation of Mr.. Griffith Ed
ridge while another white tribute
came yesterday from the farm of
Wright Minis, down in the Seventeenth
district. Within ten days or two
weeks the first bale of the new CROP
will be brought to Americas if Alex
Forrest, Sumter's first bale" man for
many years, is on the job, as he gener-
ally is. The crop here is heading rain.
but despite the drought the plant is
growing finely and the prospect for q
good cotton crop continues favorable.

izer in planting.

COssACks MISS LIQUOR
TAKE DESPERATE CHANCES

BERLIN, July 20. - Desperate
chances in obtaining liquor have been
taken by the Russian Cossacks and
sundry civilians in trying to get
around the prohibition rules of the
great empire according to stories that
drift back to Germany by way of re-
turning prisoners.
Not long after the hated order or
ukase went into effect there began a
wholesale transportation of liquor to-
ward the inner part of Russia from
the towns and cities in the west Those
in charge of the big shipments, as their
first move in turning a penny, began
to report that many of the bottles had
been broken in transit.
They failed to state that the con-
tents first had been sold to the Co.'S
sacks, but they had to give up his
transparent ruse, when the breakago
became so a1armingly great as to ope.i
the eyes of the authorities. The liquor
transporters again and again were
found beside their teams or wagons.
bound and gagged while their wares
were gone.
This, too, sufficed only for time, for
the police soon discovered the stolen"
vodka in the possession of landlords
in towns near the scenes of the "at-
tacks." Those who wanted liquor had
to get holder accordingly, and even
held up trains and robbed whole cars
of their precious contents. Needless
to say, the train crews were in league
with the robbers.

WHEAT CROP LOST
TO GREAT BRITAIN
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, July 20. - A parasitic
fungus which attacks wheat has ap-
peared in the south Of England and
threatens serious damage. The disease
is one which has caused damage on
the continent, but only one attack has
heretofore been recorded in England,
and that dating as far back as 1862.
The appearance Of the diseased
plants is very noticeable. The flag and
young portions of the stem assume
tightly co-ck-screwed form, the plant
loses its green color, small patches OF
rust break through the leaf tissue and
the plant dies.
The only remedy, it is said is to
burn the standing crop. The govern
ment agricultural authorities are TAX
ing steps to combat the invasion.

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, July 20. - DR.. Cuthbert
Christy well known as an explorer
and an authority on sleeping sickness,
has just returned from a three years
scientific expedition in the Congo un-
dertaken for the Belgian government
He spent eighteen months in the Ituri
forest, where he met remarkable peo-
pie. who made themselves invisible by
painting their bodies with dull red
lines. They organize great hunts in
the forest and drive the animals into
nets.
Progress was difficult in the forest.
said the explorer. Constant rain,
continuous twilight, a plague of flies
and ticks and water and mud, often
waist deep, had to be contended with
Food was hard to obtain, and Often
there was nothing to eat, but a few
bananas or wild kola nuts. Shelters
of leaves would be erected at night by
the natives.
DR.. Christy travelled from Bona. at
the mouth of the Congo to the Reiaf
on the Nile, from which he proceeded
down the river to Khartoum.
