Even Chicago's corroding March
wind could not dull the gloss of his
buoyancy. Like furious mastifr ii
tore at him angrily. swapping vicipusly
Mt his poorly protected body. snarIing
and bowling INDEPENDENTLY. But to him
II was no more than bumptiOus
puppy that worried him not at all.
Head erect, hands thrust deep in rag
ged pockets. he swung jauntily along
the Rush street bridge. whistling mer-
rily a popular coon song.
He was wretchedly clad--a mass of
rags and tatters. His face was
smudged with a healthy growth of let
black beard, and 1t required little scru.
tiny to see he had long been a stranger
to soap and water. He was very tall
over six feet-and this accentuated
his slovenliness. He was man of
twenty-four, with distinguished face
rather than a handsome one, and he
had an athletes physique.
AT the south end of the bridge he
turned and started across the street.
Midway he stopped short Standing
IN the opposite sidewalk was a plain

who yesterday had arrested him on a
vaGfancy charge and released him
With warning to leave the city or suf-

There was no time for hesitation.
He had caught Kelly's unfrien.liy eve.
and he knew what to expect. He
wheeled about. started back - AMI

and smashed slap-bang against brick

The hood of the car was caved in.
the lamps demolished. the front wheels
broken and the axle twisted: but IN
tn occupants--two girls who sat in
th& tonneau--no harm had come.
AS soon as the vagabond looked
upon the wreck, a smashing blo,v
caught him behind the ear, another
on his neck; an arm was twisted be-
hind his back, and red. hairy hand
clutched at his throat. Without turn
Ing round he knew II was Kelly; knew.
also. that he must not strike back. for
nothing earns culprit quicker or Sc

One of the girls in the tonneau

Pity the Dogs-and Masters Too.

Paris, May 21.-The corseted dog
has made his appearance on the fash
iouable Place Vendome of Paris.
The dog was a whippet pup, and
its owner, a smartly-dressed woman
living in the Hotel Du Rhin, explain
ed that the corsets-which resemble
even to the whalebones and lacing
those worn by women-are necessary
because of the danger Of the dog
straining himself in his preliminary
racing trials.
Many other novel dog fashions are
displayed in Partisan shop windows.
Among them are tiny kid gloves
made to measure to fit the paws, with
a lining of India rubber to prevent
the dogs feet getting wet; fur-lined
coats for dogs taken by their owners
on flying trips, and artificial canine
limbs designed by famous Veterl'

Food Situation Becomes Acute.

Clemson College May 22.-Re-
ports just received from the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
dicate that tbirty-four per cent re
duction in wheat production this
year. rI,!ess something is done to
meet this situation -four will be on
the same basis as during the war with
this difference we were then bless
ed with large corn yield. Owing to
unfavorahle weather conditions and
the natural incentive to grow cotton
on account OF present high prices and
fear Of the wider spreading Of the
weevil with the next few years we
are liable to have distressingly
short corn crop. / am wiring this in
formation to many farmers, bankers,
merchants, cotton seed crushers and
newspapers SO that our farmers even
at this late date may be urged to in
crease their acreage in corn. If this
is done we can largely increase our
food supply and thereby save SER
ious situation most likely to prevail
this fall. Suggest county meetings OF
prominent farmers, bankers and
merchants to consider the situation.

Interesting Farm Statistics.

An inquiry recently made by B. B..
Hare, South Carolina Field Agent Of
the United States Bureau Of Crop Es-
Inmates, shows the average distance
of all farms in South Carolina to be
&c miles from market. The average
size wagon load in hauling farm crops
to market is 1860 pounds, the average
load for hauling fertilizers, farm
feed, etc, from market,
including the average load for carry
ing crops to market being 1922 lbs.
The average time spent annually In
hauling farm crops, fertilizers, etc.
to and from market is % days per
farm, or approximately 9 per rent OF
all work days.
According to an estimate made
February / there we're in the State
at that time 1000 farm tractors and
2,5S7 motor trucks used for farm
purposes.
A somewhat similar inquiry was
made by Frank Andrews OF the same
Bureau in 1915 showed that the aver
age distance Of the more remote
farms in the State was 9 miles from
market, and the average number OF
round trips that could be made per
day from farms to market was 10.
The average size wagon load in the
State, including only cotton tginned)
wheat and corn (ushelled), was 1543
pounds. The average distance Of all
farms in the United States from mar
ket at that time was found to be 3.5
miles, and the average size wagon
load, which included only cotton
(ginned), wheat, and corn (unshell-
ed) was 2515 pounds. The same re-
port showed the average distance OF
all farms from market in the 10 lead
ing cotton producing states to be Z
miles, and the average size wagon
load, including cotton (sinned) .
wheat and corn (unshelled) was l543
wheat, and corn (unshelled), was
1895 pounds.
1t will be observed that the average
size wagon load used in marketing
crops in South Carolina is 1S5 pounds
less today than the average for the
10 leading cotton states in 1915 and
S55 pounds less than the average for
the United States.

Near Riot in Fayetteville.

Fayetteville, N. c., May 22.-
Quiet prevailed today after trouble
last night which resulted in the kill
ing of Deputy Sheriff. H. c. Butler
and the probably fatal wounding OF
Deputy Sheriff w. J. Moore and the
burning of three negro dwellings
George Hobbs a negro charged WITH
shooting the officers is being pur
sued with bloodhounds. Two Other
white men were wounded.
The tragedy had its brewing In a
fight between a white girl of the mil
settlement and a negro girl, the
daughter of Hobbs. The trouble Is
said to have been a sequal to franz
and bitter resentment among certain
of the mill people against the proxi
nifty of some negro homes. There IL
said to have been discussion Of
proposal to compel the negroes re
moval.
Following the encounter between
the girls deputy sheriffs were called
to the scene and placed the negro CIR
under arrest. She had attacked the
white girl while the latter was on hel
way to the mill, it is stated. The
young negress was placed In Jail here
early tonight, and it was assumed fol
a while that there would be no ser
ious trouble. About II o'clock 6
second call came, and the dramatic
battle between the posse and the des
perate negro followed.

ANCIENT JEWEL CATALOGUE.
Tablet Just Translated In Philadel.
phia Remarkably Complete.
philadelnhia Public Ledger.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A catalogue of part Of the gold and
Jewels in the temple at Nippur, for
which a new invoice evidently was
made has been found through the
translation by DR.. Legrain, curator OF
the Babylonian section Of the uniVer-
sity museum, of clay tablet in the
Nipur collection.
The record, which is dated in the
14th century before the Christian era
tells of many gold ornaments, caskets
and Jewels many Of them beautifully
decorated with golden eagles, Vul-
lures, ETC., Of necklaces, breast
plates filets, bracelets anklets and
many golden or gold mounted imple-
ments such as seals, tongs and the
like.
The temple in the Orient was al
ways the royal treasury. Hence II is
believed that part Of the collection
has just come from the jewelers. and
was intended either to decorate the
statute Of a goddess or else was for
soma princess OF the royal house.
The tablet is in Babylonian cunei-
form except that many Sumerian ide-
ographs are included. This is the
only record Of the kind. 1t is rather
curious that many Of the objects des-
cribed are paralleled in the South
American gold collection recently
purchased by the museum.

NEGRO LYNCHED;
NO REPORT MADE
Hampton County Solicitor TO Investi-
gate the Matter.

Hampton, May 5.-o1icers have
just discovered that negro man,
said to have been named Julius
Woods was lynched. 1t is alleged. on
the public road near Gillisonville on
May 8. 1t appears that the matter
has been kept unusually quiet by the
officers in Jasper County in an effort
to apprehend the guilty parties. The
matter was recently reported to the
Governor, who in turn directed Solic-
itor George Warren Of Hampton to
conduct an investigation into the al
legged lynching.
Solicitor Warren stated that the
first information he bad Of any al
legged lynching was the report made
to the Governor by a substantial
white citizen living in Jasper Coun-
ty. Solicitor Warren has reported to
the Governor that Immediately upon
commission Of the crime the sheriff OF
Jasper county began an investigation.
The latest report from the sheriff to
the solicitor is that he has been un-
able to get any data whatsoever. The
sheriff further states that the body
OF the negro who had some alterca-
tion with a white boy as was report
ed, was found with many gunshot
wounds in it on the public road near
Gillisonville on May s. The report
of the sheriff further reads: "In fact,

though, still workig on this matter,
and if anything of interest should be

South Carolina Baptists Made Gooo
Showing.

The report OF the General Board
of the Baptist State Convention OF
South Carolina to the Southern Bap-
tist Convention showed that from
May 1st of last year to May 1st OF
this year the total sum Of $1,262.OOO'
90 has ben paid in cash on the SUD-
scription to the IS Million Campaign.
More than a million Of this sum was
paid from December /, 1913 to May
/ 1920. The funds thus paid were
divided in a proportionate way De-
tween the causes of State, Home and
Foreign Missions, education in Bap-
fist schools and colleges in South
Carolina, and in the theological semi
naries and missionary training
schools OF the Southern Baptist Con,
vention. Liberal sums were also p"io
to tho Connie Maxwell Orphanage,
Greenwood, to the Baptist Hospital
In Columbia to the Board OF Minis.
terial Education, and to the Boaro OF
Aged Ministers Relief. Out OF TINS
fund was also provided a liberal sum
for the development of Sunday schooi
and young peoples work IN the bap-
tist churches Of South Carolina.
While the campaign for FUNDS Is
supposed to have closed since last
December, yet it is true that the
work of enlistment and conservation
is of equal importance, IL not great
ier. than the actual raising OF the
subscription last December. Inc
Raptists of South Carolina did un.
precedented giving, yet at least 4V
per cent of the membership did not
make subscriptions. During the nve,
wear period the majority OF those VINO
did not subscribe will be enllsteu'

which will supplement the collection
OF the subscriptions. The goal Will
not be reached until this end Is real
