tThe Associated 7re.s)

MADRID. Dec. 2.-The poor OF
this city have been greatly distressed
by an order of the government against
tue operators Of Illegal pawnbrokcrs.
Thousands OF the workers rely upon
pawnshops to tide them over period
OF unemployment. Heretofore. they
have had recourse to the Mont de
piete, the official pawnshop, which
was established to loan small amounts
to the needy poor at a low rate OF In
teresf on security of pledged articles.
Now. however. it has been turned
into a haven of refuge for extrava-
CANT folk. who pawn their jewels at
high rates of interest
The poorer people were thus driven
away and compelled to resort to nu-
merous small shops where they could
borrow under the pretense OF selling
their valuables. but with the tacit I'M
that the shopkeeper
would allow them to redeem their
goods at a heavy rate of interest.
The minister OF the interior has
stoned this by issuing royal order
forbidding such transactions. In con-
sequence the poor people are unable
10 recover their goods from the shop
keepers. Public spirited Spaniards
are taking steps to induce the gov
Iernment to restore the Mont de Piete

PROHIBITION EXONERATED
YOUNG MEN OF MT. CROGHAN
DENY THE ALLEGATION AND
DEFY THE ALLIGATOR
They Remove The Blot OF Last
Weeks Row Several Miles From
Their Midst And Cast Reflec-
ton On Their Elders

The following communication has
been received by the Advertiser with
the request that it be published
While it is strictly against journals
tic ethics to publish anonymous COM
munlcations, this one is good enough
to warrant the overstenping of the
rules for once and il is given to the
public as received at this office:
We, the young men of Mt. Crov-
nan, are sorry to know that the gen
tleman who wrote the piece in las,
weeks paper has been so grossly mis-
informed. Especially so, as that par
tlcular piece is reflection on the
character of the few young men of
MI. Croghan, who do not indulge in
the spirit reviver Of our friend,
the author" of the unappreciated
piece of last week.
We think that if the gentleman will
go into the details of the case. he will
find that all the trouble was between
men who live several miles from Mt.
Croghan and of the older generation.
1t seems that if the "author" of the
piece will take notice, he will sec that
he has made great mistake in writ
ing of something he knows absolutely
nothing about, of which his entire
piece from beginning to end shows
that he was drawing on his wonderful
imagination, of which he seems to be
well blessed.
The certain young man of whom he
mentions as being in such critical
condition is no young man at all, but
middle age man and has only one
bullet hole through his leg; his eye
isn't in deep mourning; only blacked
bit, and still has his countenance
and is also not a citizen of Mt
Croghan.
Judging from the facts of the
piece, the "author" is a non-prohibi-
ZIONIST on the extreme, of whom the
citizens of Chesterfield County should
not be proud, neither are the young
men of Mt. Croghan.

THE BIG COTTON CROP

Washington, Dec. 13.-The cotton
crop which began the season in the
worst condition in fifty years has
turned out to be the biggest crop
since 1914, with production of r.
$4,000 bales, according to final es-
Inmates announced today in the De-
partment of Agriculture.
The lateness of winter, the depart
ment said, has helped to increase the
size OF the crop by permitting the
plant, which was late in getting start
ed, to mature.
The price of cotton paid to pro-
ducers December 1, was announced
as fourteen cents pound, the low
est for that date since 1915.
The final production estimate is 1 -
100000 bales more than forecast from
the condition of the crop late in June.
Vast improvement was shown as the
season progressed and the August
condition brought a forecast of 12,-
$4,000 bales. That was reduced by
the September condition of IL, 1923, 900
bales.
In Texas and South Carolina the
crop is record one, as is that of Ar
kansas. Production in California and
Arizona has about doubled the pro-
duction of any previous year.
Production this year by States in
500-pound bales follows:
Virginia 10000; North Carolina
$4,000, South Carolina 100000
Georgia 100000, Florida $4,000,
Alabama 100000, Mississippi 1885,.
600, Louisiana 100000, Texas d..
100000, Arkansas 100000, Ten.
nessee 10000, Missouri $4,000
Oklahoma 1900, 900, California 100,
900, Arizona 10000. All Other
States $4,000.

FIRE DESTROYS
COTTON AND GIN

The gin house and the cotton seed
house and box car on the siding ad-
Jacent on the plantation of Mr.. r. B.
Laney, near Cheraw, were destroyed
by fire last week. The gin house con-
tanned about as bales of seed cotton
and the seed house and car held sew
eral tons Of seed. The fire broke out
while Mr.. Laney was away from home
on business. No ginning had been 60
ing on for several weeks. The build
ing, machinery and cotton were fair
ly well covered by insurance. There
is no clue as to the cause of the fire.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS

Charles Spencer, proprietor of a
we'll known Greenville restaurant, is
in jail charged with the shooting to
death of Grady Prince, aged twenty
seven. Spencer claims that Prince at
tackled him and that he fired one shot
in self defense. Princes heart was
pierced and he died instantly. Prince
was veteran of the world war.
Mrs. Thomas Harrison is dead and
her husband is under arrest charged
with having fired the fatal shot. Monk
Young was shot and seriously wound
ed at the same time. The Harrisons
were well known Greenville people
and the shooting occurred at their
home in the residential section of
that city last Friday night.
Thirty or forty gallons of whiskey,
1000 pounds of sugar and twenty
barrels of mash were among the evil
dence captured in raid by Sheriff
Welsh, of Kershaw county, and sew
eral assistants last Monday. The still
was located 1S miles southwest of
Camden. Two men were lodged in
Jail charged with distilling.
The County Savings Bank, of Abb
bevllle, which was closed by it's own
directors last week, has been found
perfectly solvent by State Bank Ex-
aminer Craig, who ordered the insti-
tuition to open its doors and resume
business at once. Mr.. Craig stated
that the bank was in better shape
than many that were still open.
The Mayor of Brookland, suburb
of Columbia, has offered reward of
800 for the capture of Newton Kelly
who shot and killed David Shull last
Monday night. 1t is said that Shull
and Kelly quarreled over the fact
that both had visited the same girl.
The fatal shooting resulted. Kelly
fled.
An Anderson County plantation
owner was shocked few days ago
when he received bill from an un-
dertaker in which the planter was
charged with So collins. As the bill
was itemized it was found to be cor
rect. The coffins had been bought for
tenants covering a period of over ten
years, during which time the under
taker had neglected to present bill.
