Dial Given Close Attention.

Washington, June 14th.-Sen-
ator Dial adres ed the Senate this
afternoon at length and in detail on
his amendment to the Cotton Futures
Act giving the buyer the right, unless
settlement is made on the basis grade,
to require that one-half of the guam
tity deliverable shall be delivered
equally in two grades, which the
buyer shall choose from the stand
ard grades, and that the seller shall
have the right to tender the other
half equally in any two grades OF the
ten which the seller shall select.
The Senate gave Mr.. Dial close at
tention, number of Senators on each
side of the chamber questioning and
appearing satisfied with his explana-
tions. Mr.. Dial aroused great interest
when he produced figures showing
that in 1919 only 100000 bales Of the
1O4,OOO,OOO bales sold on the New
York and New Orleans cotton ex-
changes were actually delivered.
The figures themselves prove that
the amount of cotton available was
sold many times over in these specu-
lative tranactions.
Senator Dial feels confident that his
amendment will pass the senate and
is very hopeful of its adoption by the
house. He argues that the present
Cotton Futures Act leaves the market
too much at the mercy of the specula-
tors.

MOTION IN BIGHAM
CASE Is HEARD
JUDGE SHIP DEFERS DECISION
PENDING A STUDY OF
THE CASE.

Saturday at Florence, Judge S. w.
G. Shipp heard Mr.. A. L. King argue
his motion for a new trial in the case
of E. D. Bigham who is now in the
penitentiary under sentence of death
for the murder of his mother, brother,
sister and two adopted children of the
latter. The death sentence was stay
ed by appeal to the supreme court.
A. L. King appeared as attorney for
Edmund D. Bigham at the hearing
and Mr.. P. H. Arrowsmith repre-
sented the state. Mr.. King gave as
his ground for the motion for new
trial the allegation that George White
and H. Haselden had made remarks
prior to the trial which tended to
show that they had made up their
minds as to the guilt of the defendant
before being sworn in as jurors. Pub
lication of news article in the Times
in which i was stated that the Seven
teenth Chapter of Deuteronomy had
been resorted to as kind of a guide
during the deliberations of the jury
was also referred to in the attorneys
argument and he argued that the jury
therefore had undertaken to substi-
tute the Mosaic law for the law appli-
cable to the case and that this tended
to show prejudice and bias against
the accused.
Mr.. Arrowsmith for the state in re-
buttal produced an affidavit from H.
P. Hasdelden, foreman of the jury try
ing the case, that if he had made any
statement referring to the use of the
Bible by the jury it was only done in
order for the jury to determine its
duty. Performance of duty was the
idea uppermost in his mind and on
that point his conscience was clear.
The statement in the affidavit of War
ley Wilson that he had heard George
B. White, juror, express an opinion
as to what he would do if drawn on
the jury was denied in a counter af-
fidavit of George B. White. Affidavits
were introduced by Mr.. Arrowsmith
from Sheriff Burch, A. H. Gasque,
A. NJ. Singletary and H. A. Brunson
upholding the credibility and integrity
of Messrs. Haselden and White:
Judge Shipp will defer his decision in
the motion pending study.

DIAL PLACES DATA
BEFORE SENATE
SAYS PRESENT LAW ONE-SIDED,
UNJUST, UNFAIR AND
NOT HONEST.

Washington, June 14.-Senator Dial
of South Carolina, explained - the
senate today his bill to amend the Get
ton Futures Trading Act by giving
buyers and sellers of cotton contracts
the option of requiring delivery OF
half of The cotton in two grades. Con-
siderable interest in the bill, now be.
fore the senate agricultural commit
tee, was manifested by the New Eng
land and Western senators.
That me present cotton futures law
was zone sided, unjust, unfair and not
honest was asserted by Senator Dial
Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah,
asked whether the law had not been
drawn in part by Mr. Dial's colleague,
Senator Smith, Democrat, of South
Carolina, and Senator Dial replied
that the Smith-Lever law was step
in the right direction, but did not &c
far enough.
Among mJustices to cotton growers
cited by Senator Dial was statistics OF
the New Orleans and New York cot
ton exchanges for 1919. The Senator
said that on the New Orleans ex-
change 33,000,000 bales of cotton were
sold during that year and 100000
or the New York exchange, while the
actual cotton production for 1919 was
less than 100000 bales. Actual de-
liveries of cotton on both exchanges
he added amounted to only 10000
bales.
Cotton consumers, Senator Dial ex-
planned, were required under the law
and the cotton exchange regulations
to accept cotton offered on their flu
ture contracts or be given cash set
tlement if the cotton offered was not
suitable for their purpose. ,Bhis prac-
tice, he continued, resulted in over
selling in the market, depressing the
prices of spot cotton. That his bill to
give sellers and buyers the option OF
delivering half OF two grades of cot
ten would result in such less depres-
sion of spot cotton, was declared by
Senator Dial.
No action was requested o. taken on
the bill, Senator Dial stating that he
desired merely to explain thoroughly
its provisions, and that all he wished
was fair and honest consideration.

Seeing is Believing.
Seeing is believing, | had read about
boil weevils all my life and like you,
thought most of the reports were
bunk, but when l went to the infested
area to live in 1915, l realized that
no one ever has or can exaggerate
what weevils can do. For five years
lived in Alabama and travelled
throughout the state. This gave me
splendid opportunity TO observe the
effects of the weevil when he first ap-
peared in different counties and after
he had been there from one to five
years. Thinking that some of you
might be interested in such a narra-
tive, / took the privilege of inviting
you to attend this meeting and hear
a discussion of what experience has
taught to be true about w2evils. I
hope you will interrupt me at any
time when you wish to ask a questions
l will answer it if ! can and tell you
so if I cannot.
First of all let US clear up lot OF
the misinformation which is so gen.
eral regarding boil weevils, tneir As-
tory, habits, characteristics, possible
damage and the best method Of mini
mizing this damage. No matter what
others may say to the contrary, any
authority will tell you that what fol-
lows are the facts in the case as de-
termined after years of observation
and study by expert entcmologists and
practical farmers.
The weevil came from Mexico. He
crossed into. this country when the
Texas farmers converted thei- ranches
into cotton fields all the way to the
border. Had southern Texas never be-
gun TO grow coCton Wltnlil ieo
miles of the Rio Grande, the weevils
would have probably never been able
to establish themselves in Texas from
whence they have migrated year by
year, on an average CT about sixty
miles, believe.

.CALBRAITH H0{aREp
AT FUNERAL SERVICE
THOUSANDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE
LATE COMMANDER OF THE
AMERICAN LEGION.

Cincinnati, June 11.-ThousandS Of
persons from all walks of life paid
their last solemn tribute to the men,
ory of Col. Frederick w. Galbraith,
national commander of the American
Legion, who lost his life last Thurs
day morning in an automobile accident
in Indianapolis.
The funeral services were held in
Music hall under the auspices of the
American Legion. Every one of the
1000 seats in the auditorium of the
hall was taken. The obsequies were
marked by simplicity. Brief ora
tions were delivered by the Rev. John
Hergel, who was the chaplain of the
One Hundred and Forty-seventh in
fantry which was commanded by
Colonel Galbraith in France; the Rev.
Frederick McMillin, who also was an
overseas chaplain; Theodore Roose-
velt, assistant secretary of the navy,
who represented the federal govern
ment; Former Congressman Victor
Heintz of Ohio; who was captain
under Galbraith; Colonel Franklin
D'Olier, former commander of the le-
gion, and Marcel Knecht, director of
the French information service in the
United States, who was the official
representative of the French govern
ment.
In his address Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"In the great service movements
that have strengthened our citizens
through the toll of every day life,
on the shell torn battlefelds Of France
where service could be found, there
you found Colonel Galbraith, at the
forefront of the battle, gallantly
fighting for the right.
1--WE mourn his death, but we are
proud of his life. We shall miss him
in the troubled days that lie before
US, but our faith in our country is
strengthened in that it can breed
such men. Good citizen, tender hus-
band, and father, valiant soldier,
splendid idealist-his death had left
US poorer, but his life has left US
richer. His pilgrimage is gloriously
finished"
Colonel D'Olier said "A his eulogy:
"The legion has lost its great lead
er; the service man, and especially
the disabled man, has lost his best
friend; this city, this state, and this
nation has lost one of its most use
full citizens. The service man, be-
cause of his training and discipline
III the army, is not much given to
expressing his deepest feelings, and
having known this great character so
intimately, am sure that the great
est tribute he would wish for would
be to assure him that even though
he has gone his spirit is still carry
ing on"
Captain DeLevergne, cir attache of
the French embassy, post humously
conferred upon Colonel Galbraith the
grand cross of the Legion of Honor
by direction of the president of the
French republic.
At the conclusion of the military
services the Scottish Rite conducted
its impressive burial ceremonial. The
body then was borne through the city
streets on a gun carriage followed
by the largest military funeral cor
tege seen in Cincinnati since the
burial of Gen. Joseph j. Hooker Of
Confederate war fame.
The body was placed in a vault in
Spring Grove cemetery preparatory to
its interment in the Arlington ceme-
terry in Washington.

MUST FIGHT NOW
TO BEAT WEEVIL
FIGHTING TALK BY MAN FRESH
FROM FIVE YEARS IN BOIL
WEEVIL TERRITORY

The following is from the Leader G.
Vindicator, of Bishopville, Lee county,
being the full text of talk which was
made by County Agent ]. P. Quinerly
to the farmers and business men of
Lee county at a mass meeting held
there recently.
Mr.. Quinerly is undertaking to
arouse the cotton growers of Lee
county to make winning fight
against the boil weevil, which, in the
absence of such a fight, is expected TO
do great damage in Lee county this
year.
The meeting in Bishopvills last
Week was largely attended and Mr..
Quinerly's speech made profound i'm
preston. 1t is very unusual thing
for a county newspaper to publish as
long a speech as this in full, but the
Leader and Vindicator could not have
put its space to better account.
Mr.. Quinerly came to Lee county
from Alabama, where he had spent
five years in boil weevil territory. His
talk is a fighting talk and he is doing
his part and more, to defeat the Wee
will in Lee county.
The News and Courier believes that
his speech will be read with interest
and profit in every county in South
Carolina where the boil weevil is a
factor this year. The fight against
the boil weevil must be won in the
next six weeks if it is to be won at
all, and Mr.. Quinerly is not only con-
fident that it can be won. but he
tells how this is to be accomplished.
The text OF his speech in full is as
follows:

fident that it can be won. but he
tells how this is to be accomplished.
The text OF his speech in full is as
follows:
Mr.. Quinerly's Address.
1t is absolutely within the power of
the farmers in this county to literally
cheat the boil weevils out of several
thousand bales Of cotton, and thereby
increase their yields from 25 to so per
cent over what it will be if no effort
is made to control the weevils and il
conditions are not unfavorable for
them. But if this cotton is saved the
fight must start tomorrow, and the
battle will be over in six or eight
weeks. Properly directed, in deter
mined effort to control the weevils,
there is sufficient labor on almost ev-
cry farm to make a profitable crop OF
cotton, without much. if any addition
al expense, no matter how many wee
wills you may have now-unless we
have an extremely wet June and July;
then very little cotton is ever made
under weevil conditions.
However, human nature is pretty
much the same the south over, and it
is probable that you will get your boil
weevil knowledge largely from expe-
rience, just as they have done in al
most every section between here and
Texas. We are from Mossouri, but
what it takes to show us the boil wee
vii has it. There are lot of doubling
Thomases here now, btu they will all
be converted in a year or two. If the
weevil has run true to form and varied
not from section to section in his
march across the cotton belt during
the last thirty years, how can we hope
for him to suddenly change, now that
he has reached Lee county? Farmers
have usually argured that the weevils
may be very bad in other sections, bu.
that their farms are either too high,
too far north, too dry or too somehow
for the weevils to ever destroy their
cotton. Others content themselves
with the hope that some special dis
pensation of Providence will protect
them or horbor the erroneous idea
that the weevils do only little tenn
porary damage and then pass on be-
cause they are still raising cotton
where they have wcevils, especially
in Texas, but the truth is that where
Texas now raises so much cotton the
climate is too dry and hot for weevils
to thrive, and that the territory was
lot planted to cotton many years ago,
and in the other cotton states cotton
is being raised in spite of weevils by
different methods and on a different
basis from pre-weevil conditions.
These sections have learned through
bitter experience, as you probably Will,
what it takes to prosper and raise cot
ton in spite of boil weevils. l wish it
were possible to save you that ordeal.
From the Rio Grande to South Car
olina, the path of the weevil has been
Uttered with conditions that created
nothing less than state of panic for
a few years. It has been his custom to
paralyze credit, stagnate business,
bankrupt farmers, demoralize labor,
and knock the bottom out of land
values, in all the cotton sections. This
same little bug has broken more men,
