That indicates that there will be
erected to the memory of the father
of this country, George Washington,
an immense structure on Shooters Hill,
Alexandria, Va, the financing of
which will be done by the Masons of
the United States, as every Mason is
expected to contribute at least, one

ONLY EIGHT RESPOND

Spartanburg, Aug. 27.-Never in
the history of this section have there
been so many hoboes roaming over
the country. They are found lying
out in the bushes and woods near
Hayne junction in droves. They are
sometimes found sleeping in the
shade of trees actually piled up, hav.
ing their heads on each other. The
county chaingang is full, and most OF
them are white men.
The magistrates have shown a
great deal of leniency in dealing with
them. Six and eight. day are tried,
the largest number on one day being
II. If there seems to be anything
to man, he is given chance. The
in handling deserving cases. The
men seem to be roaming the country
aimlessly. -.
One day recently one of the rail
road policemen called to a man whom
he saw on a freight train at Hayne
to come down. To his surprise eight
men jumped off the train. He could
take only four of them, however. The
other four made their escape. Out
of more than 100 sent up by M. H
Evans, one of the railroad policemen
only six were from South Carolina
and three Of them; Mr.. Evans says
he believes were not telling the truth
They did not talk like Carolinians.

WINTER QUARTERS

Clemson College, Aug. 23.-The
cotton boil weevii finds his hotel for
the winter in old stalks, weeds and
dead grass in the field. He will find
splendid winter-quarters in unkept
terraces, weedy ditch banks and
fences, in neglected orchards, in un-
derbrush along the woods and road
sides, etc.
The weevil requires for successful
wintering a place with given
amount of moisture, failing in such
places where moisture is heavy.
Therefore the cover crop that is used
for preventing land washing and the
teaching of soil fertility, and for
maintaining soil texture is of the
greatest value under weevil condi-
tions, because it acts as a cleansing
crop which keeps down weeds and
winter food plants and destroys pro-
tective coverings for the weevil and
other destructive insects during the
winter. "
It is time now for farmers to think
about these matters and not let this
work go until the last moment, ad-
vises Prof. A. F. Conrad, entomolo-
gist who says that we want to clean
up our farms this fall as we have
never done before. These wintering
places meptioned must not be per-
mitted; they must be removed or
destroyed by one method or, another.
Humus is our greatest deficiency in
farming and for that reason vege-
table matter should be properly in
corporated in the soil whenever pos
sible; but there are a graf many
cases where this can not be done;
and yet should weeds, dead grass,
ETC., remain through the winter they
would form successful wintering
places for the boil weevil. Burning
may be the only resort by which
they can be destroyed, and if so,
burning should be employed.

GIRL YAWNS so HARD
HER JAWS STAY OPEN

Rosie Panzekie of Brooklyn had
such a lovely yawn in bed Friday
morning her jaw got stuck on it. Try
as she did, Rosie just couldn't call
for help. Then she decided on the
next best thing and the roar Of pain
that emanated from the Panziekie
mouth and bedroom brought neigh
bors in rush.
Among them was Doctor Zobel OF
Beth Moses Hospital. With skilled
fingers he coaxed the refractory jaw
back into place.
The crash of teeth awoke everey

ERZBERGER KILLED
Near Ofenburg Where
He Was Taking "The Cure"

Berlin, Aug. 27.-Mathias Erzber-
ger, former vice premier and minis
ter of finance, was murdered today.
Herr Erzberger was assassinated
near Ofenburg, Baden, where he was
sojourning with his family. His
body contained twelve bullet wounds.
Herr Erzberger had left Bad-Gries-
bach, where he was taking the cure,
in company with the reichstag depu-
ty, Diez, for a foot tour of the Black
Forest. An hour later both men
were confronted BY two youths who
separated them and then emptied
their revolvers into Herr Erzberger,
who was killed instantly by shots
in the head. Deputy Diaz also was
wounded.
Erzberger was shot and wounded
on January 26, 1920, as he was leav-
ing the criminal court building IN
Berlin after attending a hearing in
a libel suit he had brought against DR.
Karl Relfferich, the former German
vice chancellor. His assailant gave
his name as Oltwig Won Hirschfeld,
a former cadet officer, twenty years
old, student, and son of a Berlin
bank official. Won Hirschfeld was ar
rested and was quoted as saying he
considered Erzberger dangerous to
the empire. The assailant fired two
shots at Erzberger as the minister
was entering his automobile. One
bullet glanced off the minister's
watch chain and another entered his
shoulder.

BILLY LAVAL TALKS
Announcer Football Schedule For
Furmsn This Fall.

Greenville, Aug. 23.-Breaking
the silence he has maintained thru.
out the summer regarding prospects
for football at Furman University
this fall, Coach "Billy" LaRal makes
this laconic statement: ..: ..
"Furman is returning this season
nine of last years Varsity squad
Along with these, practically the en-
tire reserve team will be back, as
well as some promising men from last
years Freshman team. We hope to
have a team just as good if not bet
teer than the Purple Hurricane OF
1920" ID
This fall the Furman squad is play.
ing one of the heaviest schedules OF
any team in the South. The 1921
card reads:
Sept. 24-Erskine at Greenville.
Oct. 1-Newberry at Greenville.
Oct. S-University of Georgia at
Greenville.'
Oct. 15-Georgia Tech at Atlanta
Oct. Clemson at Greenville.
Oct. 29-Citadel at Greenville.
Nov. 5-Mercer at Greenville.
Nov. 12.-Carolina at Greenville.
Nov. 19-Wofford at Greenville.
Nov. 24-Davidson at Greenville.
While the two men lost from last
years squad are Captain Jeter, men
toned for the all-southern tackle,
and SPEEDY" Speer, mentioned fol-
=. the all-southern half-back, this years
team will have the benefit Of the fa-
NOUS half-back's presence on the
training grounds, as Speer has been
engaged to assist "Billy' Laval as
coach at Furman. A feeling Of con.
, fidence prevails that Laval and Speer
will mould a machine out of the ma
terial at hand that will come up to
the record set by last years "Pur-
pie Hurricane"
The 1920 "Purple Hurricane"
according to competent sports writ
ers, won the lightweight champion
ship of the world. Average weight
of the men was 159 pounds, average
age 19 1-2 years. The team played
schedule of 10 games, winning nine
! The one game lost was to the strong
University of Georgia team, the
score in that battle being z to 0.
Furman piled up total of 2S6
points to her opponents meagre 16.
Indicative of the calibre Of this the
only opponent to whom the Furman
squad lost, is the fact that this sea-
son the University of Georgia plays
Harvard and Dartmouth.
In the Furman-Clemson game of
November 18 last the number of
plays run by Furman from scrim-
mage, according to statistics, was so
per cent faster play than the average
in the East and almost as much
speedier than Georgia Techs re-
ported average for the first four
games last season.
