much by few who were present. The
program was not advertised enough
and no one knew just what it was go

have been otherwise. Those who did
not come missed a real musical treat.

THE LEGISLATURE

Interest in the session of the Gen
eral Assembly which began Tuesday,
centers mainly around the financial
situation. The Legislature is being
asked to make heavier appropriations
than have ever been made in this
State and this fact has awakened
widespread apprehension and resent
ment, the general feeling among the
people being that,in the depressed con-
ditions which have come about as a
result of the low price of cotton, ap-
propriations should be cut instead of
being increased.
The public will watch with very
great concern to note the attitude of
the Legislature in this matter. It will
also follow with more than ordinary
interest the efforts which are sche-
duled to be made for the improvement
of the methods of raising of revenues
and laying taxes in South Carolina.
Important changes are to be propos-
ed and there is hope on the part Of
those who. have led in this fight that
at last something of broad value may
be accomplished.
New faces will be unusually plenti-
full in both houses today and the pub
! lie should take this fact into ac-
count. The situation is one in which
strong leadership, if it develop, may
convert the session into one of great
fruitfulness; but in any event it will
take time for the new members to
become familiar with their duties and
to become acquainted with their fell
low NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Courier.

SAN JOSE SCALE

Clemson College, January 11.-Nu-
merous inquiries from owners of or
chards are reaching the division of
entomology, says Prof. A. F. Conradi,
chief of the division, who has prepar-
ed Information Card No.15, entitled
San Jose Scale in Orchards" This
card gives information on how to rec
ognize this scale, how the tree is af-
fected, and how to prepare and ap-
ply lime-sulphur wash for the control
of the insect.
When trees are badly infested, says
Prof. Conrad, the bark and limbs
have an ashy gray appearance and the
leaves are spotted and diseased. The
scale is likely to be found in coast or
chards on trees where control meth
DDS are not used. The tree loses its
vitality, dies back from the top and
finally the entire tree dies.
Spraying with lime-sulphur wash
in fall, winter, or spring when the
trees are leafless and dormant will
control San Jose Scale. The LIQUID
lime-sulphur wash can be made at
home by fire or steam according to
directions which will be furnished by
the Extension Service, or it may be
purchased ready-mada from reliable
sources. 1t should be used according to
directions. There are also several va
rieties of dry sulphur wash ma.
terial on the market This should be
used only when made up according to
directions.
A good spray pump that will give
pressure of at least 100 pounds
should be used when spraying lime
sulphur wash.

ton into Office of Jefferson and Jack

ural committee to consider the re-
quest of Mr.. Harding "for the simp-

the approval of the president-elect
the oath of Office should be admins

all outside ceremonies at the capitol
be dispensed with.

migration committee in hearings at
Washington, d. c., on the Johnson
bill prohibiting immigration for one
year has failed to prove the existence
of an emergency according to sena-
tors who analyzed the evidence sub
mitted by more than 80 witnesses in
that past week. They declared the
charge that millions of aliens would
flood the United States, increase un-
employment and create economic
chaos" has not been proven.
+ Central Europe would buy the en-
tire Southern cotton crop at forty
cents pound today if proper credit
conditions could be arranged, E. S.
Butler, president Of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, declared Monday
before the House agricultural COM
mittee in Washington. Opposing the
bills before the committee which
would eliminate all speculations in
cotton futures on exchanges, Mr.. But
Ter said farmers six months ago could
have sold their entire crop of cotton
ahead at thirty five cents a pound.
Elimination of all speculation in fu-
ture trading would be disastrous" to
cotton producers and to the trade
generally, since it would force ex-
changes to close, Mr.. Butler asserted.
Regulatory legislation enacted in the
United States could not affect the fu-
ture cotton market at Liverpool, Eng
land, he added as it would leave the
foreign spinners in control of this
market and they would be able to die
tate the price of cotton.

South Carolina shall not contribute
to the bankruptcy, of the South by
planting a large cotton crop this
year."
In many of the counties resolutions
were adopted calling on the bankers
to refuse credit to farmers who do not
reduce the so per cent. requested.
Typical of these resolutions was
the one passed at the Greenwood
meeting, introduced by w. C. Harri-
son, well known farmer of Green
wood county. This resolution reads
as follows:
Resolved that this meeting re-
quests the bankers not to lend any
money for any person whatsoever to
any person who will not agree to plant
only one-third of his cultivated land
on basis Of 1920 in cotton. That all
notes be written with this clause and
upon violation to become due and
payable on demand"
The Sumter county meeting adopt
ed resolution similar in tone to the
above and vert further and adopted

lative delegation from Sumter county

pass law at the ensuing session OF
the legislature making it a mis-
demeanor for any purpose of obtain
ing advances agreeing not to plant

SONS MAKE PEACE
OVER DADS COFFIN

Logan, w. Va, Jan. Capt. And
erson Devil Anse) Hatfield, one time
Confederate army officer and for
many years thereafter one of the
most famous and picturesque feudil-
lists in the mountains of West Vir-
ginia, who died Friday, was today
buried beside his two sons, Troy and
Elias. in the family plot three hundred
feet beneath the mountain range
which sheds it's water into the Big
Sandy on the one side and the Guy
andotte on the other. The obsequies
were attended by eleven survivors,
children almost all of them, forty
grandchildren, several greatgrand
children and about seventy-fve direct
descendants.
The funeral was characterized
throughout by series of dramatic
occurrences. Before the march to the
cemetery began the hands of two Of
the dead mans sons, long estranged
brothers, were clasped over the coffin.
These were cap" Hatfield, the faith
er's namesake and feud lieutenant,
and E. C. Hatfield, of Charleston. The
reconciliation was attended by gen.
eral demonstration of approval and
sympathy among those at the funeral.
Ready To Be Baptized
AS the procession moved, the res
toration of good will between the
brothers formed the chief subject of
discussion, and at the grave before
the body was lowered, cap" Hatfield
addressed "Uncle Dick" Garrett, an
old preacher and friend of the family,
and told him that he had "made his
peace with God and was ready to be
baptized" whenever the minister
would say the word.
Il will baptize you boy" responded
! the old clergyman, ''in the very hole
where baptized your pappy." To this
Cap" Hatfield dramatically raised his
hands above his head in the attitude
of solemnity vowing and stated that
he was done with fighting that in his
heart there no longer ranked malice
and that if any man sought his life
blood, he would not resist.
"The Lessons Of Death"
There was no funeral sermon by
Uncle Dick" but the Rev. Green Nc
Nelly, companion preacher, and
who by the elder man was familiarly
referred to as "my son in the gospel"
spoke briefly, not on the life of "Dev-
il Anse" but on ''the lesson of DEATH

he was leader of Hatfield Clan in the
world famous Hatfield-McCoy feud,
which continued fifteen years and in
which thirty-tive men and one woman
died.
| For years after the former feud
leader had taken up ihs residence on
the Matewan crest and settled in
peaceful existence the Kentucky au-
thorities sought him. There was a
price on his head, but one governor

fused to honor acquisitions for him
and finally the effort was abandoned.

today that Governor Atkinson was the
last of the State executives to refuse
to surrender him to Kentucky.
