Edge6eld County's First At
tempt to Grow Tobacco.

The almost certain appearance of
the boil weevil in large numbers this
fall or next is forcing farmers of the
county to cast about for other mon
ey crops, and it is well that an at
tempt is being made to grow new
crops before the actual necessity is
forced upon them. The writer had a
very interesting conversation with
Mr.. C. M. Williamson Saturday while
he was in Edgefeld. Mr.. Williamson
has charge of tobacco growing by
nearly a dozen farmers of Johnston
and vicinity who engaged him be-
cause of his many years of practical
experience in tobacco culture. Mr..
Williamson is native of Darlington
county where he has grown tobacco
for the past twenty-five years and
knows the business from A to q. He
stated that all tobacco, like most
other crops, is about two weeks late
this wear. Mr.. Williamson stated that
the yield should be 800 pounds per
acre and that the price should aver
age at least so cents per pound, max
ing the crop yield farmers about
S4OO per acre. He stated that the ex-
pense of growing tobacco is about
the same as cotton.
The following Johnston farmers
are growing tobacco this year, hav-
ing an acreage each of from five to
ten acres: Burrell Boatwright, j. W..
Hardy, L. D. Holmes, j. L. Walker,
Price Zimmerman, George w. Scott,
Mr.. Ergle, B. E. Bouknight, R. N.
Broadwater and Mike Herlong. We
hope the new crop will prove to be
profitable. The tobacco growers made
a wise selection when they employed
Mr.. Williamson as he understands
tobacco culture better than the aver
age Edgefeld farmer understands
cotton and corn culture.

Letter From a Pine Grove
School Girl.


The farmers of our community
have gotten busy, good deal of
blowing done and are doing some
gardening also. We should let our
garden come first in spite of the
busy time.
A number of our men enjoyed a
midnight fish fry last Friday night,
Rev. R. H. Dunlap being among
them. The supper was very much en-
joyed.
Our school closed last Friday. We
didn't have a picnic, just few reci-
tations. In the afternoon Quite mum
ber of our good lady friends were
present. We are glad and sorry, too,
that school is out. We had such a
good teacher, she being Miss Sallie
Smith who left for her home at Red
Hill at the closing of school.
We hope to see her visit here again
soon.
Mr.. o. W. Lanier has been spend
ing a while with his daughter, Mrs.
James Harrison.
Master James Zimmerman spent
last week with his grandfather, Mr..
Wiley Zimmerman.
Mr. and Mrs. Fronts Zimmerman
spent last Wednesday with Mr.. and
Mrs. Willie Buzzard.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. E. Harling OF
Greenwood and Mr.. M. G. Collins of
Gaines, spent last Thursday with Mr..
and Mrs. E. M. Zimmerman. We
were so glad to see them, being
grandma's first trip since they moved
away. 1t seems strange to say have
to go to Greenwood to see grandma
and grandpa Harling. 1t doesn't seem
like home around here since they
moved away. They are like birds
out of a cage since they have gotten
away from, the "styx". Grandfather
is working at the carpenters trade
and is making good wages. He has
made as high as ten dollars day.
That is better than fighting the boil
weevil.
On his way home from Greenville,
Mr.. R. C. Griais spent Thursday
night with Mr.. E. M. Zimmerman.
Little Miss Grace Herrin spent last
Thursday night with little Edna Tim
norman.
Mr.. Fred Turner spent last Tues
day with Mr.. Fronts Zimmerman.
Mr.. E. M. Zimmerman and Mr..
Wallace Pardue motored to Green
wood last Wednesday.
Mr.. Tommie Parkman and Mr..
Justus Collins were visitors in Edge
field Friday night.

Smoker For Members of Tank
Company.

All men who have enlisted in the
tank company, all who have enlisted
but have not been physically exam
ined, and all who are interested in
promoting the organization of the
company are invited to attend a
smoker which will be held in the
Court House beginning at 8 p. M,
Saturday night, April 18th. The Of
ficers of the company are arranging
a pleasant social gathering and it is
hoped that many young men will
turn out.
Captain Hastings Wyman, Jr.,
Medical Reserve Corps, of Aiken,
will come to Edgefeld Saturday of
this week to complete the physical
examinations. Last week he examin-
ed and passed thirty-four men and
this week he will have larger num-
Der to examine. All men from the
country who have decided to JOIN the
company are requested to come to
town on Saturday afternoon and
night for the examination. Capt. Wy
man is coming up on Saturday to
convenience the men from the coun-
try. AS fast as the men sign their
enlistment papers and take the ex-
animation they are free to attend the
smoker.
Adjutant General Moore has writ
ten requesting that the enlistments
be speeded up so that early recogni-
ton may be given the company. AS
soon as the headquarters and first
platoon is mustered in, the equip
ment for training will be sent.

Miss Florence Minis Visits His
toric Plymouth.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
During the Christmas holidays 1
wrote about the wonderful scenic
beauty>of the White Mountains. Just
recently 1 have visited Plymouth,
Massachusetts,, by the sea, so per-
haps it might be of interest to tell
you something of that.
The first and only thing on my
mind was the rock. 1 felt like asking
the first passerby, when stepping off
the train, "Where is the rock?' Wan
dering through many streets We came
at last to the blue waters edge and
there we found the hugh boulder sur
rounded with an iron railing, which
was open however, so that tourists
might touch the sacred stone. Doubt
.sless there will be many pilgrims
gathering about the stone this cen
etennial year of nineteen twenty as
there are worshippers gathering
about the shrine of Mohammed. No
two pilgrimages could be more diff
ferent though, since they stand re-
spectively for religious freedom and
religious bondage.
On the top of the rock the figures
sixteen twenty were cut. 1t would be
a good thing if every school boy
could repeat the date as glibly as he
can fourteen ninety two. There are
three places of particular interest in
Plymouth beside the stone. A mon
ument, a cemetery, and a museum,
all rather dismal subjects for discus
sion to be sure, but interesting. The
monument is one of the most elab-
crate and worthy structures to be
found anywhere. The highest figure
represents faith, and below her are
law, education, freedom and morali-
", the foundation stones Of the Pill
gri.ns' religious structures
The burial ground, where some of
the pilgrims were buried, is on the
top of a very high hill, overlooking
the sea and the city of Plymouth.
Some early settlers made an at
tempt to decorate the grave stones
and instead, made them ludicrous'
Two in particular, I remember, one
with an angel wearing glasses and
another a skull with wings. 1t seem,
ed to me that there would be nc
point in going to heaven if one had
to wear glasses Or if we had to have
skulls attached to our wings.

Indignant at Action.
The resolution expressed humilia-
tion ana Indignation at the issuance
OF the pardona and questioned the
governors legal right In issuing the
pardons without previous action by
the board OF penitentiary commits
siOncrs
In this connection, IL was stated to-
day, that tho state law says that par
dons shall be issued by tho governor
only after "A review of the case by
the board OF penitentlary commits
sioners and upon their recommends
tion. II was said, however. that the
board had never exercised It's pcroga-
tive and that pardons had been is
sued by governors without any such
action.
The resolution OF the legion further
says:
"'Tho act suggests, II It does not
justify the conclusion that the gov
ernor had more in mind hts personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT than an act of JUS
tiCc 20 men undergoing wrongful and
unjust punishment; that being about
to visit the Republic of Mexico as the

RADICAL CHANGE in TAX SYSTEM ADVISED
Club Condemns Governor Lnazoo Padog Villa
The Shame of
New Mexico

The pardoning OF 10 members OF
the band of Nillistas who raidcd
the city of Columbus, n. NJ, By
Governor Iarra1Olo on the eve OF
his departure Tor the city OF Mex
leo to bc "a guest OF the govern
mcnt of Mexico nt the innugtIru-
ton Of General ObrcgOn as press
idcnt, Is the climax of 70 pardon
record that hns brought rcprOach
upon the executive Office Of the
state. This last net brings shame
upon the state of New Mexico.
Whereas previous actions Of tho
governor hive brought only ccI-
sure upon himself, this culminn-
ton act of his administration
brings rcproach upon the entire
state and Its effect extends beyond
our borders und leaves n black
mark To our credit throughout the
country.
Governor Ihrrnzplo seems to
have forgotten his duty TO the
state TO seek favor and popularity
In Mexico. His action can bc con-
structcd tO no other manner.
Under the tmnly Ncilcd disguise
of international law, ana riIisinr
the theory that the United Stntes
WINS at war with Mexico when the
villa men were captured, the gov-
crnOr holds that the men should
not he dealt with ns prisoners OF
stntc, but rather rs prisoners of
war. and therefore they should not
serve tho sentences fng which they
were convicted In the courts of the
state.
His reasons for pardOnlng the
men are weak ana rs the Amer
lean Legion in It's resolutions last
night stated "has offered Indlgnlty
TO our own national government
ind insult To the government OF
the Republic of Mexico by dcclnr-
Ing his belief that these bandits
who were outlaws In their own
country were entitled TO have their
acts Judged by the same standards
~ are applicable to the action OF
troops engaged I'm actual wnr-
fare"
II tho governor has disregnrdcd
the law In issuing these pardons
action should he taken at once to
prevent the release OF the Villlstas
and thus partially remove the
shame that Inns been cast upon the
state.

N'tliiiSHioH uppelnteu cOmprla-l
ed II. j. Hagerman. OF Roswell, chair
man: Albert G. Simms and w. w.
Risdon, OF Albuquerque; John Joerns.
OF santa Fe and W. c. Hayden, OF Las
Vegas. The report consists OF 10
chapters, comprising 236 typewritten
payes. and Is signed by all five mem-
berS although two members concur
with certain reservations on some
features.
New Taxation Code
There reservations may be diseios-
ed through a subsequent report by
the two members. There will be sub
mitted also a series OF appendices,
carrying reports, tables, authorities,
etc.
beginning with the question OF
taxes, tho commission recommends
that tho legislature enact a new revs-
uue and taxation code. Reciting that
from 1915 to 1919 the taxes levied
jumped from Si,299.92 to $500. 600,
the report finds that "extravaFance,
waste and inefnciency In government
is due In very great measure to ignor-
ance and cupidity and. in lesser de-
gree to the eXigencies OF politics We
do not believe that New Mexico Is
on the whole, worse off in these re-
spects than some other states"
The trouble with taxation IN found
TO be, not so much the fault OF the
system, as the inadequacy OF admin
istration. Declaring that the state
tax commission has Justified It's ex-
istence, the report recommends that
its resources and powers be strength
enod materially, by making IL con-
Hist OF three full time members. each
to receive pay Of s4.5OO annually,
with secretary to receive $1,000.
"Wo recommend that the entire as
seHsment procedure be centralized
and profossionalizod, We have found
no other solution which we can COM
mend In confidence" the report says
Under this plan the state would be
divided into five assessment districts,
each in charge OF a district SUPER
visor, with local assessor and depu-
ty In each county,
Appointivc Officers
All these districts and county tax
officers are to be appointed, after an
examination TO prove their compe-
tency This plan would increase the
