The members of the regular police force, four men, are to be provided with sew revolvers and new hand cuffs The new guns will be Colts and will fire eight shots without a stop by just holding the finger on the trigger. The pistols will be 32 cali Der and will hold seven shots in the magazine and one in the chamber. These guns can be emptied with one pressure of the finger.

 A Patriot reporter was allowed to examine the handcuffs, of which the captain has a pair. They are auto matic aad lock only when put around the wrists, which may be done with one motion. They may be double locked by using the key. The old cuffs are heavy and awkward to ad- just. The old revolvers are ancient ones with revolving chambers and have long been out of use in up-to- date departments.
 AS an example of how the old cuffs work the captain told little joke on himself. He said that his first evening on duty he locked one of the cuns around his wrist He then took key and expected to take the cuff of. Nothing doing. He worked for an hour and the key refused to do It's duty. The captain went to his home keeping the cuffs concealed up his coat sleeve, and there took hammer and 'sunlocked" the manacles.

Columbia, Nov. 2.-That there IS
no statute preventing teachers from
infiicting corporal punishment on re-
fractory students is the Interpretation
of the law, Samuel NJ Wolfe, attor-
ney General, gives in an opinion in
answer to letter making inquiry on
the subject.
Holding that disciplinary measures
are in the discretion of the board and
directors of school, the opinion says
that ''if to compel obedience and con-
form the pupils of the school to prop
er decorum it is necessary in some in
stances to resort to corporal punish
ment, the law does not prohibit it
being inflicted"
While in the school the teacher. the
opinion holds, in relation to the child
is in loco PARENTS, and logically must
adopt the same disciplinary methods
as the child's natural guardian.

Mr.. Wolfe takes the position that
when a parent objects to punishment
for the child in conformity with the
regulations of the school and the
board of trustees, he should be re-
Quested to withdraw the child from
the school. Mr.. Wolfe recited his
own experience as teacher, in which
he had a rule that if a child got
sixty demerits the parent had the
option of selecting expulsion or pun
ishment. This method, he said, did
much to obviate parental objection
to just methods of discipline. He
further said that no child should be
punished unless fully cognizant of
the offense for which chastised.

S1O5,OOO SHORT IN CASH.
The Fairburn Banking Company Was

Atlanta. Nov. IA shortage OF
100000, OF the Fairburn Banking
company was reported here today to

since the cashier, w. B. Green. was
arrested as defaulter.

Speer lad blame to wrongful acts
of Green for a shortage of ninety
thousand dollars and asserted that
the loss of fifteen thousand dollars
could not be definitely accounted for
because of a fire in the bank shortly
before Green's arrest.
Green is at liberty on $4,000
bond. Mrs. Katherine Bradstreet,
who, with her husband and chauf-
feur, were arrested in the case, was
recently granted liberty on $1,000
bond. Bradstreet and the negro
chauffeur are still in jail. The po-
lice assert that Green gave the wo-
man large sums of money. Commit
ment hearings are expected to fol-

ENORMOUS LOSS.
Results From Damage to Cotton Not
Not Properly Stored.

AS regional director of the United
States Railroad Administration I
want to call attention to the import
ance of the proper storage of cotton.
Millions of dollars are lost every
year through improper storage of
this staple. This has been known in
a general way for a long time by
everybody interested in cotton, but
probably very few of us have even
suspected what a tremendous factor
storage is in the trade, or the as
founding lot of money thrown away
by the individual owner who lets
bale of cotton stay on the ground.
Some tests conducted by the United
States department of agriculture re-
Gently we're brought to the attention
of the United States Railroad Admin
istration, and their results were so
startling that the administration de-
sires to aid in gaining for them the
widest dissemination and most care
full consideration.
The most striking fact disclosed
was that a 492-pound bale of cotton
stored fiat on the ground for six
months last 232 pounds leaving $50
pounds for the market, while another
bale stored properly in a warehouse
lost only two pounds. This means
that, if the price was thirty cents a
pound, the loss on the first bale was
s69.6O. The loss on the bale in the
warehouse was but sixty cents.
The tests occurred at Press No. 1
of the St. Louis Cotton Compress
Company, Little Rock, Ark. Seven
bales of cotton were purchased by
the department of agriculture and
stored under various conditions from
November 25, 1918, to June 13, 1919.
Weekly observations were conducted
and complete reports prepared upon
the condition of the cotton through
out the period.
Briefly, here is what the tests dis
closed:
Bale No. 1, fully protected in ware
house. weighed 494 pounds at the
start and had net marketable
weight of 492 pounds when recondi-
toned at the end of the test.
Bale No. 2, exposed on dunnage
and turned after each rain or once
week, dropped in net marketable
cotton from 4S7 to 4s1 pounds. iSev-
en- pounds lost.)
Bale No. 8, on dunnage on edge,
covered with tarpaulin and left with
out further attention during test,
dropped from 4S9 to 4S5 pounds.
(Four pounds lost.)
Bale No. 4, fiat on ground during
entire test, same surface down at all
times, dropped from 492 to ESQ
pounds. (23o pounds lost.) Dur
ing the test this bale absorbed moist
ure until it weighed 912 pounds on
June 7. In recorditiorins, 42O
pounds of moisture went out and 232
pounds of moulded and ruined cot
ton were thrown away.
Bale No. 5. on end on ground dur
ing the entire test. with same sur

nobody succeeded very we'll. and they
fell back to the old reliable-cotton,
and forgot all about tobacco. Could
the tobacco industry be resurrected? {?
Well, we shall see.
Last winter a year ago few farm
ers gathered in a back room here and
talked the matter over. They believed
that tobacco was possible. They felt
that it meant, perhaps, years of strug-
gle, overcoming obstacles, etc., for
they did not really know or believe
that tobacco would be a sure crop
here. People here looked upon the
Pee Dee as the tobacco section Of
South Carolina. Maybe it would prove
81 uccessful here. Anyway, something
had to be done-might as we'll try
tobacco as anything else.
A tobacco man was summoned
from the Pee Dee. to give counsel.
He looked the situation over and said
tobacco would grow in Bamberg.
Some of the farmers right around
town decided to venture, and after a
lot of real work succeeded in induc-
ing some dozen or so to plant a few
acres in the weed and try the thing
out.
The first crop, about 100 acres in
all, turned out exceptionally we'll. 1t
exceeded the fondest expectations.
Without the slightest previous ex-
perience some Of the barn-about
six acres were planted for barn
resulted in really enormous profits.
That was due largely to the unusually
high prices last year. Nobody lost
anything on the first crop.
That set people to thinking, and
this year close to 1000 acres were
planted in tobacco. But prices were
not so favorable this year, and that
is where experience came in handy.
Those who did not thoroughly under
stand harvesting and curing their
product did not make very large
profits. But this was not the fault
of the land. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that Bamberg lands will
make tobacco. Not only that. but it
is an established fact that Bamberg
tobacco outclassed anything in the
State in quality in the markets this
summer
Now the thing is established. One
large warehouse has already gone up.
A company has been organized for
the erection of a second. and pri-
vate Individual, it is understood, is
to build a third. Tobacco will be a
staple crop in Bamberg hereafter.
The farmers will profit by the expert
ence of others who have already tried
It.
The crop has been so eminently
successful here that tobacco farmers
in other sections have been attract
ed to Bamberg and a number of farms
| has been sold recently to these out
siders who will come to Bamberg to
, plant tobacco. These men are expe-
rienced in the industry, and they
| know a good thing when they see it..
This or something else, perhaps a
natural boom, has caused Bamberg
lands to soar. Lands that sold a
year or two ago for $50 per acre are
| now bringing as high as 800.
