U. S. SENATOR NEWBERRY
INDICTED FOR FRAUD

Grand Rapids, Dec. 2.-Truman H.
Newberry, United States Senator
from Michigan, has been indicted by
United States Grand Jury for cor
ruption, fraud and conspiracy in con-
nection with the election by which he
obtained his seat in the Senate, de-
feating Henry Ford, his Democratic
opponent.
With Newberry, 1873 other persons
were indicted by the Grand Jury on
the sale charge. The names of all but
eight of the most prominent were
withheld from publication by Judge
Clarence w. Sessions, presiding, un-
til warrants could be served on them.
Among those named were w. A.
Hopkins, of st. Clair, Mich, Assistant
Secretary of the United States SEN
ate; John S. Newberry, brother of the
Senator, Detroit, and Paul H. King of
Detroit. King was manager of the
Newberry Campaign Committee.
Judge Sessions indicated that the
evidence before the Grand Jury dis
closed fraudulent expenditure of be.
tween 100000 and $1,OOO,OOO in
connection with the election.
This scandal is said to be without
parallel in American political annals

MEXICAN SITUATION
BECOMES ACUTE

:. United States Consular Agent
jenkins is held prisoner in the peni-
tentiary at Puebla, Mexico, in spite of
two sharp notes Of protest from the
State Department at Washington
The second note from this govern
ment, which was in the nature of a
demand that Mr.. Jenkins be imme-
diately set free, has not yet been
answered. Washington is inpatient
ly awaiting this reply. 1t is thought
by many that the Carranza govern
ment is deliberately seeking trouble
with the United States. That the
breach is the most serious that has
yet occurred between the two coun-
tries is not denied by the government.
The War Department estimates that
an army of 100000 would be neces-
sary to "clean up" Mexico and that
it would require several yrars to
do it.

TONICS "UNDRINKABLE"

Washington Dec 1-Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer served notice
on manufacturers of proprietary
medicines, BARRIERS supplies and other
alcoholic preparations today that they
must doctor their products so that
they may not be used as beverages.
After January Is, when constitu-
tional prohibition becomes effective,
chair tonics that are hair tonics in
name only, must be made "undrink-
able," Mr.. Kramer declared and rep
resentatives of the manufacturers
promised him their hearty support in
his fight for the enforcement of the
law.
The commissioner said it was not
the purpose to destroy any legitimate
industry, but that "a lot of prepara-
tions whose principal ingredient is al
cohoW must be rendered unfit for
drinking purposes.

CLOTHING COST GOING UP

Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. Ed
ward V. Prize of Chicago, who is a
leading, wholesale clothing manufac-
turer Of this country, predicts that
the cost of clothing is in for another
advance. The peak will not be reach
ed until the spring or fall of next
year, he says, and then when the de-
cline comes there will be nothing ap-
preciable for long time. The whole
fabric world is suffering from short
age, Mr.. Price declares.
Europe has not been manufacture
ing civilian clothing for four years
and we have turned out scarcely any
for nearly three years. While in
England, Mr.. Price saw merchants
from Argentina and other countries
ordering goods as far ahead as 1922.

FIGHTING BOIL WEEVIL
IN CHARLESTON COUNTY

Propaganda in favor of live stock
and diversified farming, made doubl,
| iofcible by personal realization OF
the destructive advance of the bol1
weevil in South Carolina, is fallino
upon fertile ground in Charleston
County, in the opinion of Mr.. C.. F.
LittleJohn, who has recently taken
up the duties of agricultural demon.
stration agent for that county. Since
Tentering upon his duties Mr.. Little
John has travelled over a considerable
portion Of the county, and on every
hand, he says preparations for aban.
donlng cotton, largely for hogs and
forage crops, are being made.
Many farmers who have not been
big cotton farmers have been impress
sed with the opportunities offered for
money-making in hog production,
and are planning to engage in that
industry, without the iminent urge
OF being forced to abandon their
staple crops by the weevil. More corn,
oats, wheat and grains generally will
be planted and more crops devoted to
forage and pasturage crops in the
next few months than at any time in
the past
Mr.. Littlejohn is of the opinion
that there will be no difficulty for
farmers to market all their products
under the changing conditions. Nu-
merous meat packing concerns have
written him that they are anxious
to buy all the live stock that this sec
ton can put on the market. Even be-
fore local packing plants are estab-
ilshed cooperative market days will
solve the problem of giving the hog
and cattle raisers the opportunity to
sell their products at the best advan-
tage. The cooperative sales days for
live stock have been worked success
fully in many Southern communities.
In order to be prepared to indulge
IN live stock raising properly it is
necessary that the farmers realize
the necessity of having ADEQUATE
fences and Mr.. Littlejohn is begin
nlng campaign to encourage the
building of proper fences throughout
the county He expects to make
arrangements by which the farmers
can buy fencing at minimum of
cost. Charleston News and Courier.

PATENT MEDICINE
CASE is TRIED

York, s. c., Dec. 1--Declaring that
the law passed by the 1919 session
Of the General Assembly, merely le-
galized the sale of patent medicines
for beverage purposes, Judge Thomas
5. Sease, presiding in the Court of
General Sessions here to-day directed
verdict of not guilty in the case of
w. Starke Alston, negro druggist
Of Rock Hill, who was charged with
violating the prohibition law in that
he sold patent preparation contain
ing 20 per cent alcohol for other than
medical purposes.
Alston admitted the sale of the
preparation but testified that clerks
in his place of business were instruct
ted to take from purchasers signed
certificates as required by law, stat
ing that the preparation was used for
medical purposes. There was no evil
dence submitted other than to show
that such certificates had been re-
quired each time sales were made.
The Judge, with the consent of So
ilcitor Henry, promptly directed a
verdict of not guilty.
Prohibition officers and lawyers
who were in the court room express
ed the opinion that the result of the
trial would have the effect of throw
ing aside the bars in the sale of all
kinds of patent medicines by drug
gists and others so far as the State
authorities were concerned and that
the stores were at liberty to sell any
patent medicine they pleased, no mat
ter what its alcoholic percentage, as
long as they secured from the pur-
chaser a signed statement to the eff
feet that the medicine was for medi-
cal use.
State Constable s. II. White, who
was the prosecuting witness in the
Alston case, said that two SIMILAR
cases which had been brought at
Pageland, in Chesterfield Cornty,
would be abandoned. 1t was stated
that there would be no further prose-
cutions in regard to the law where II
was made clear that all provisions
had been complied with.

THE COAL SITUATION
IN CHESTERFIELD

The fuel shortage in Chesterfield
was somewhat relieved by the arrival
of three. cars this week. This was dis

business places and homes, some of
which were badly in need of it.
Wood has been coming in in consider
able quantities during the past week
and it is not thought that there will
be any real sufferig from the cold
