The Ocala Star says that William
J. Bryan is the Sidney J. Cats of the
United States. Well. if Willumbill
puts out as good a platform and
makes the right kind of fight for it,
as Sidney J. did, we are surely going
to be for Willhumbill. because we be-
lieve he has the nerve and the back
bone to back up what he says. and
politicians can't fool him as easy as
they did the governor. That's all they
did to Cats. He was just fooled for
a purpose and knows it now. He
meant all right. and if Fletcher
doesn't change his attitude on this
league of nations business, Cats will
be the new United States senator
Lakeland Star.
All we can make of this rigarma-
role is that "Willhumbill," Cats and
Bloom view the peace treaty from a
republican standpoint.

\ friend gives US a clipping from
one of the big northern papers, which
has figured out that it is no use to
make a party issue of the peace
treaty. 1t shows that even if all the
republican senators whose terms end
March 4, 1921, are replaced by dem
ocrats, the republicans will yet have
more than a third of the Senate and
votes enough to defeat the treaty.
Very true. 1t has been almost a year
ago that the Star said the republi-
cans were impregnably intrenched in
the Senate against the treaty, casu-
ally mentioning a fact so obvious that
we saw no use of going into any
elaborate calculation on the subject.
But it is only reasonable to suppose
that if the treaty is made an issue,
and large majority of the people
vote one way or another that the
Senate, even with its present repub-
lIcan majority. will act according to
their expressed wishes. We think,
however, that if the Senate and pres
ident can't come to an understanding
at once, the matter had better be
dropped. 1t will be best for the
world for the nations now in the
league to go ahead without waiting
for the United States. America has
thrown her great chance away. and
the fault is not altogether with the
Senate. Between a great man desti-
tute of tact, and bunch of self
important small men, mistaking pre-
JUDGE for patriotism, our nation has
lost the moral leadership of the world

HONEY ON THE STALK ON
FARM AT NINETY-Slx
Greenwood. Aug.

Greenwood, Aug. 12.-L. M.
Moore, of Ninety-Six, was here to-
day, explaining how bees had taken
a cotton stalk in his field and had
begun to relieve the sugar shortage
by making honey on the stalk.
He said hands in the field called
his attention to the activity of a
swarm of bees which had located on
gallon bucket on the stalk, and
revealed the fact that the bees had
ball of honey comb nearly as large
as a gallon bucket on the stalk, and
were rapidly filling it with honey.
Mr.. Moore hopes to improve the
bees and produce breed that will
make honey on the stalk when the
boil weevil trips it Of bolls.

GREAT EARTH CRACKS
APPEAR IN KANSAS

Hutchison, Kan, Aug, 12.-Geolo-
gists and scientists of this part o2
est in great cracks in the earth re-
ported to be appearing in Kiowa
county. On the John Marriage
ranch crevices 12 feet deep, half a
mile long anil some of Them three
feet vile have appeared recently.
Attention to them was attracted by
the findings of two steers in one OF
the crevices. The cattle were
wedged in, apparently having fallen
lin when the. earth cracked.
Biologists generally agree that
the cracks are due to hot dry wea-
ther and the counter effect of the
subterranean supply Of water. In
Meade county, further west, the un-
der flow of water is tapped by
many wells.

TWO NEW RESIDENTS

| Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Montgomery
of Blue Mountain, Miss, have
moved to Abbeville to make their
home with US. For the present they
are staying the Eureka hotel. Mr.
anil Mrs. Montgomery are singers OF
wide reputation and have for the
past four years been engaged in
evangelistic work with the Southern
Baptist church in practically all of
he Southern states. Recently the
talented singers have been with
Rev. Mr.. Harrell of Texas one of
the foremost Baptist evangelists.
Due to Mrs. Montgomery's health
which was suffering from the con-
tinual moving from place to place
and from overwork in the evange-
listic campaigns, the young couple
have decided to take up work which
will give them permanent resi-
dence for while. Mr.. Montgomery
is associated with E. W. Gregory of
this city being manager of the E.
W. Gregory Motor Co. We are glad
to welcome these good people to

NEWS FROM POLAND
Mrs. Poliakoff of This City Hears
From Sister For First Time
Since 1914. Shoes in Russia
$500 a Pair

Mrs. D. Poliakoff recently re.
ceived the first letter that she has
had from her family in Poland since
the beginning of the world war in
1914. Mrs. Poliakoff says that nc
mention by any of her three sisters
having received any of the letters
which she has written them.
In the letter received last week
the writer tells Mrs. Poliakoff that
the old home place near the city of
Minsk was Destroyed by fire result
ing from an engagement between
the Poles and the Bolsheviki in the
early part of the summer and that
the family was forced to flee from
their home with whatever they
could quickly gather up in their
arms. They are now living with one
of the sisters in Minsk. Befofe the
trouble in Russia Mrs. Poliakoff's
family were people of means being
engaged in the wholesale grocery
business, but now have lost every
thing in the depredations of the Boil
sheviki and the low rate of ex-
change.
A rouble, the standard of Russian
money, Mrs. Poliakoff says, is nor
mally worth over rs cents in AM
erican money is now quoted at
seven cents and that her sister
writes that pair of shoes in
Minsk cost over $500. Food is ex-
tremely scarce and high and there
is no distinction between the rich
and the poor in Poland since the
Bolsheviki have secured control of
affairs in Russia. Mr.. Poliakoff has
endeavored to send some money to
their relatives but it is not possible
to get it through to them while the
Bolsheviki are in power.
