One rumor said that Kitchener had

Then came a startling development,
A woman by the name OF Biddy Gull

that she had seen and spoken with
Lord Kitchener. He had conflded In her
that his work In the present war was
done, but that IL England's necessity
ever demanded. he would come back
TO help. Immediately the British Isles
were In a furore. One dillgent reporter
discovered that Biddy Cullogh was an
old hag who lived in Ballylandford,
near the head Of the Bay OF Taplee,
Kerry, Ireland. and that she was known
about the country there as a witch.

has been found that even a new pump

from engine and dynamos. Since 1t is
important that Smyrna spend several
thousand dollars to renew the plant,
the opportunity Is ripe to modernlze
and standardlze its electric system and
add on day current to help swell the
revenue. The time was never better
for day current than now. Lets have
modern and up-to-date electric light

The town Of Clayton has an excel

by making a deal with the Town Of
Smyrna. That Smyrna will go ahead
and renew its power plant, Is practi-
cally settled. II Clayton wants electric

French Papers Not Enthusiastic.

The covenant of the league of ma,
tions arouses little enthusiasm in the
press of Paris. Indeed many of the
principal newspapers abstain from
comment altogether. L'Oeuvre, which
has always been a champion of the
league and of President Wilson, says:
"Speaking generally, we are bound
to say the pact of the league of ma
tions causes a certain amount of dis
appointment. It's 26 articles consti'
tute really the statutes Of the league
of governments to safeguard thei1
territorial sovereignty and are not
a new chapter of the law of nations
which had been hoped for
The newspaper thinks that the res
ignation shown by Belgium, Japan
and France must be due to promises
or special guarantees which will be
known, perhaps, when diplomacy is
no longer secret.
Writing in the echo de Paris
"Pertinax," spokesman of the nation
lists, declares outright:
'The league of nations is dead be-
fore BIRTH" He also refers to rumors
of treaties being made between the
allied powers, remarking Ito reas'
sure US, Premier Clemenceau and
Foreign Minister Pichon, allege they
hold favcrable alliances in their port
folios. These parchments must be
beautiful, complete and eloquent tc
justify such docility on the part OF
the French minister's"
All the nwspapers point out that
the great concessions were made by
France. Some of the journals go sc
far as to declare that these conces.
sions amount to a surrender. AS a
whole, however, the press expresses
the hope that later amendments will
result in satisfying what are regarded
as legitimate claims of France and
the other countries which, as the
Havas agency summary of the com
ment words it, showed their moder-
alton by abstaining from insisting

KILLS CHILD BY ACCIDENT.
Negro Woman Meant to Shoot Her
Husband.

Gaffney, May 4.-Endeavoring to
shoot her husband, Jim Peek, with
shotgun, Norah Peek, a negress of
Cherokee county, yesterday afternoon
shot and instantly killed Annie, her
2-year-old daughter. The homicide
took place at Cherokee, about eight
miles from Gaffney, on a plantation
owned by A. G. Price. Immediately
after the tragedy Sheriff W. W.
Thomas was notified and he took the
woman into custody.
Her story, after she was arrested,
was to the effect that her husband
was advancing upon her and when he
was about so yards away she fired
in self-defense and that she had no
intention of shooting the little girl.
She is being held in the Cherokee
county Jail without bail.

Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant IS III
fuI bloom ample plant food must be
available or else large percentage
of the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause sheddlngs
for example, a lack of a proper amount
of moisture; still, it has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture Conditions, lack OF plant
food is the potent cause OF this
trouble.
Under boil weevil conditions, the
fertilizer used in side applications
should contain high percentage OF
phosphoric acid and rather low per
centage of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect of forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early ma
turity.

other things, to tell how they fertil-
lied their cotton. In these answers
a large proportion report that they
