Of the lapse of time!
There is Coin" Harvey, for in
stance. How many people ever heard
of the gentleman? OF the younger
generation, none al all.> OF the older
generation, everybody. But even the
older ones may have to shake loose
some cobwebs and blow away a lot
of dust before they car trace the con-
nection with the ~name-which will
have a familiar southland anything
in particular.
Coin Harvey-real name William
H.-flourished in the early nineties
of the last century. The days were
those of the free silver agitation, out
Of which emerged William j. Bryan
as a more or less perennial candidate
for president, and a quite perennial
Chautauqua lecturer. Harvey believed
in the free and unlimited coinag- Of
silver at the d;vinely ordained ratio
Of 16 total. and the use OF silver,
coined at that ratio, as legal tender.
He came into prominence through
the publication of a little book called
Coins Financial School, in which a
in the work Of instructing his pupils
in the intricacies Of currency and
finance by the use Of the bla@ kboard
The book caught the popular imagina-
ton, and had an enormous circula-
ton. 1t presented the stock free silver
arguments, most of which have long
since been exploded, its picturesque
form, and its figures and illustrations
became the stock in trade of thou
sands of amateur financial experts.
The book did n good thing. It
started a lot of people thinking in
dependently in the currency question,
and that thinking led to the conclu-
sion that the whole free silver agita-
ton was founded on a myth. So
thoroughly was that lesson learned
that the Americans of hat genera
ton could at no later time have been
led astray by arguments in favor Of
cheap money.
1t will be news to a good many peo-
pie that Coin Harvey is still on earth.
and. still producing books q and
pamphlets. He lives in Arkansas,
and has just issued a new phamphlet
entitled Common Sense" in which
he presents Startling Facts Concern
ing World Conditions" and his
Remedy for Chaos and Confusion
Now Existing" In, the present offer
ing Mr.. Harvey maintains that one Of
the great troubles with the world
Just now is the practice of charging
interest on money loaned. A scheme
is prevented which the author be-
lieves would end the practice and free
the human race.
On the whole, however, MI, Har-
vey has little hope of the human race
as Tow constituted. He fears that it
has zone toe far to be saved, and he
looks for a grand smash, in which the
present civilization will be swept
away, and after which the remnant
of the race will make a new start.
In anticipation Of this, he intends to
have a copy of his present phamplet
deposited in a vault, in a reinforced
concrete pyramid. with accompanying
literature to aid in its translation,
with the possibility that it may be
found by a future civilization rising
from the ashes Of the present.
After that ~ cannot he ooiI that
Coin Harvey did not do his best for
his race, which, after all. is all that
anyone can do.

Wolf Making Last Stand

Washington, Nov. 12.-The wolf is
gamely making his last stand in
America. Bloody fanged from cat
tie growers stock, and fighting for
his existence against the best traps,
rifles, poisons and hunters, he has
been cut down in number, until today
it is estimated by the United States
Biological Survey, that in the Western
States, his last refuge, there are prob
ably less than 500.
Hunters are fast getting his pelt,
through exciting and romantic adven-
ture. In Northeast Wyoming, Uncle
Sans hunters are now intensifying a
drive to clean out what is believed tc
be less than so. Since the drive be-
gan last spring "a have been killed.
The old system OF laying bounties
on the heads of wild animals has been
found after years Of study and ex-
perience to be a failure, DR.. a. X.
Fisher, in charge of economic inves-
legations of the Biological Survey
says.
"Since 1890 millions of dollars have
been spent in bounties," he declared,
"and there has never been a case
where the bounty did any permanent
good"
The old bounty men, he charged,
were in tie game more for the money
and the living they could get out of
it, than for the purpose of ridding the
country of wild animals. 1t was
found, he added, that the bounty men
after hunting a season, purposely
would leave one or two pairs of
wolves, to raise more wolves, for more
bounties.
In the beginning Of the govern
ment's drive with paid hunters, DR..
Fischer further charged, some of the
old bounty men proved unfit.
"Some of them would write up here
saying if they could only have the
fin of shark, or the tip of kan
garoo's tail, they could surely lure
game into their traps. That was all
pure superstition"
Although the wolf has attacked
many persons, and hunted man L.
packs in the steppes of Russia, and
other parts Of the old world, there is
no single case on record, DR.. Fisher
reports, where a wolf has attacked a
human being in North America.

The Number 49 Has
Peculiar Significance

San Juan, Porto Rico, Nov. "a. -
The number 49 has taken a peculiar
significance in Porto Rico and DR.
Santiago We've, former president Of
the Republican party, has suggested
that every citizen of the island wear
a button in his lapel with that mum,
Der on it.
This number has become a symbo
since Governor Reilly started making
an official trip over the island which
he expects will include every one of
the II towns. In practically every
town where he has spoken he has as.
serted it was his hope to take the one
star from the flag of independence
advocates and place it on the Amcri-
can flag as the 49th state in tn
Union. Everywhere this Statement
has been cheered except by independ
ence advocats.
Never before has a governor %

In every speech he has emphasized
the loyalty of the vast majority Of
the pfople of the island to the United
States and he has been severe in his
criticism of the leaders of the ma
jority party, the Unionists, who have
opposed his campaign against the

ANOTHER WITNESS.

Mr.. ]. w. A. Humphries, who re-
turned to Union last year after liv-
ing in Darlington county for severe
years, recently paid short visit to
that county. He travelled to and from
Darlington in an automobile. We d.
not publish the report he brought
back to cause anybody alarm, but for
a purpose. He says on the entire
journey from Union to Darlington he
witnessed the ravages of the boil wee
vii. In Darlington county and very
much further up this way the boil
weevil got in his full work Fields
containing great stalks of cotton
waist high and higher, there would be
but two or three bolls of mature cot
ton-not enough to make it worth
while to pick it. 1t is a complete fail
ure. Mr.. Humphries says that last
year the weevil in Darlington county
was about as troublesome as here the
present year. Many farmers in Oar
lington county said they did not be-
lieve the boil weevil would ever "do
much damase"-just what they are
saying here. This year they are dumb
founded to find such complete, over
whelming failure as has come upon
them. This year the Darlington farm
ers are sowing much grain and they
are destroYi2g saston stalks and pre-
pairing to fight the weevil.
What Mr.. Humphries reports
from Darlington is just what Clemson
College has been telling us-the sec
ond year the destruction will be COM
plete, unless we fight the enemy. We
are publishing the above story from
an eye witness to force home to the
farmers the necessity for destroying
cotton stalks and preparing to fight
the boil weevil next year 1t is nom
sense to talk of raising no cotton
Union County has been raising 10000
bales of cotton year. Union County
should continue to raise 10000 bales,
in spite Of the weevil. In addition to
the 10000 bales of cotton Union Coun-
ty should raise every scrap of food
and feed stuffs that are to be used
upon the farms and bit more for
sale to those not farmers. If we can
get into the fight in the right way
Union County will find the boil wee
vii blessing, not a curse.

FOch Unable to
Feel Fatigue

After Marshal Foch had finished
the first leg of his American tour, as
the guest Of the American Legion his
hosts were flooded with letters and
kilograms from the South and West
begging for an opportunity to see the
Allied Generaissimo. The Marshal
withstood the strain wonderfully, in
fact, hesgained 10 pounds during the
trip. However, because of his seventy
years ibis hosts were unwilling. to
commit him to an extensive swing
through the country, unless he felt
ready to undergo the arduousness of
such trip.
"Do you not feel fatigued?" he was
asked by Alton T. Roberts, who is
chairman of the Legion's reception
committee.
"Fatigued?" he answered. "On the
contrary never felt so rested. When
one has been through four and half
years of warfare, when he has had to
make decisions that involved the lives

"This trip has been exhilarating.

relaxation from care but am given
a daily thrill by some new wonder
Of the country. I would feel it dis
tinct deprivation not to have the op-
portunity to sell all this land. You
make your arrangements and you may
be sure that the extensiveness of the
tour will only be adding to my pleas
