the scarlet and the gray, whether 1t
be in streamers or with just simple
bow, but by all means we want every
home in Newberry to show the visitors
that we are loyal to our college and
that we are proud Of their colors.
This is one of the few times IN the
wear that we are asked to do anything
for our college and surely we Will not

itors as we'll as show the students that
we are for them and with them and
NAV the gentle breezes of our far
c;tv rustic the scarlet and gray on
every front porch during commence

Start to dressing up with the colors
a day or two before commencement
Sunday and your example may urge
vour neighbor to do likewise.
And wouldn't it make Col. Hunt

70 see the colors flying on every side?
Let's all get behind this decorating
idea and put it over in excellent style

L ne > tdlS.
Anderson, May 23.-At the conven-
ing of court this morning seven Jurors

LEXINGTON JURY
WOULD HEAR CASE
TAKE ISSUE WITH WOLFE IN
PROPOSED CHANGE
Grand Jurymen Call on Lexington
Solicitor to Proceed With
Indictment
The State.

Lexington, May pa sensation
was sprung by the grand jury of this
county today when it condemned the
action of Attorney General Wolfe for
directing that the case of J. B. Swy-
CERT, charged with murder Of j. B.
Nicholson, be tried in Richland in
stead of Lexington county, where the
case arose. The grand jury referred
to the action of the attorney general
as "an uncalled for reflection on our
county and our people," and stated
that the citizens of the county were
"fully able to take care of their own
affairs without outside interference
and we condemn the reflection on our
county and our people"
This action was taken following
letter written by the attorney gener-
al to Solicitor Spigner of Columbia
directing that the case be tried in
Richfand. The difficulty out of which
the case arose happened at Leesville
on the extreme western side of Lex
ington. It is understood that the at
torney general wrote the letter IN
question at the instigation of friends
and representatives of the family OF
the deceased, although it is reported
that both Solicitor Spigner of the fifth
circuit and Solicitor Callison of the
18th circuit were opposed to the
move. So far as is known the coun-
sci for the Defendant Swygert were
not heard in the matter. The present.
ment of the grand jury follows:
"It has come to our attention that
an effort has been made by high
state officer to have the Swygert case
carried to Columbia for trial and TAX
en- away from Lexington county
where it happened. We think this is
an uncalled for reflection on our coun-
ty and our people. We have not
heard of any other county being
treated that way and we can see no
reason why Lexington should be. We
know that the citizens of this county
are fully able to take care Of their
own affairs without outside lnterfer-
ence, and we condemn the reflection
on our county and our people.
"We understand it is our duty, un-
der our oaths, to investigate matters
like this and ali others of probable
criminal nature happening in our
county, and we call upon the solicitor
of our circuit to prepare an indict-
ment for US and send the witnesses
before US so we may do our duty fully
as grand jurors of this county. We
urge that this be done at once so we
will not have to attend court any
longer than is necessary to do our
duty"
Just what the result of this action
Will be is not now known, but the
situation is being watched with keen
interest.

PROHIBITION FUND
MAY BE INCREASED
HOUSE ADDS 100000 FOR
ENFORCEMENT
Bill Must Go Through Senate
Before it Can Become
Effective

Washington, May 23-After heated
discussion of the prohibition question
during which Commissioner Kramer
was bitterly criticised and as vigor-
ously defended the house today voted
an additional 100000 for enforce
ment of the Volstead act until July
l. Representative Volstead proposed
the increase in the total of the defic--
iency appropriation bill which the
house was considering to permit re-
tention on federal payrolls of 700
prohibition agents, who Mr.. Kramer
had announced, would be dropped for
the remainder of the fiscal year be-
cause of shortage of funds.
The Volstead amendment was
adopted II to 3S, less than one-fourth
of the house membership being on the
floor at the time, but another vote
on the increase can be demanded be-
fore the bill is passed.
Even the members who favored
the amendment, however, doubted
whether it would afford relief in time
to be of much value, inasmuch as the
bill after passage by the house must
go to the senate.
Criticism of Kramer
During the wrangle over the quess-
ton, Chairman Good of the appro-
priation committee who opposed the
Volstead amendment, said Mr.. Kra-
mer had violated penal; provisions of
law by incurring a deficit and chad
made himself liable to1jjalAsentence-'"
81 want Mr.. Kramer to obey the
law just as much as bootleggers, he
declared, adding that $6,90o,00O al
ready had been appropriated for pro-
hibit.on enforcement during the cur
rent fiscal year."
Representative Madden, Republi-
can, Illinois, said Mr.. Kramer should
have appealed for funds to congress
through the secretary of the treasury
instead of through the newspapers
and asserted that he fought to be dis
charged"
Words in Defense
Mr.. Kramer, on the othe: hand, was
defended by Representative Byrns,
Tennessee, ranking Democrat of the
appropriations committee as a con-
scientious official doing his duty to
enforce the law. The Tennessee
member said he never had heard it
charged that Mr.. Kramer was not con-
scientious and was guilty Of malfeas-
ance in Office.
Mr.. volstead defended M. Kra-
mer's administration declaring there
was no ground for criticism.
AS the house milled through the
deficiency bill today provision for
the creation of an office of first assls-
tant secretary of the treasury at a
salary of $4,000 year and an
amendment by Representative Davis,
Democrat. Tennessee, provl'!,ng t'r
purchase by the government Of $780,
100000 of farm loan bank bonds,
were eliminated on points or order.
One provision approved would per-
nit the treasury department to spend
any part Of the s1S,600,OOO appro-
priated last session for additional hos
pital facilities for disabled service
men in the improvement of existing
facilities. The original bill provided
that s12,5OO,OOO was to be expended
for new hospitals.

dissolve pounds of prepared sodium
arsenite or l gallon of the above
stock solution in so gallons of water.
The amount to be used per given area
depends upon the character and size
OF vegetation, the weather, and me-
thod of application. For average con-
dltlons 600 gallons of the weed-killer
solution are required per acre, or /
gallon of concentrated stock solution
would make sufficient weed killing So
luton to cover an area 60 by GO feet.
Chemical weed killers give the best
results on a cloudy, humid day, when
rain is not expected within IL hours.
Treatment should not be given while
the soil is wet, but if it is very dry it
should be mOistcned slightly to pre-
vent the chemical from soaking in too
rapidly. When the vegetation is
large it should be moved before treat
ment, after which it is we'll to wait
several days before treatment, allow
ing the vegetation to partially resume
growth and exhaust the roots.
Not all plants are affected alike by
the chemical. Perennial plants like
dock, horsctail, and quackgrass arc
very persistent, and continue to send
up new leaves as fast as the old ones
are killed. AS it is impracticablc to
use enough chemical to penetrate the
soil and kill the roots, it is necessary
to exhaust the roots by continually
killing back the top growth. Annual
plants are usually dead in one to
three days. For ordinary purposes a
sprinkling can, Il small watering cart,
or garden hose and nozzle fastened
to force pump are the most conven-
lent for applying the poison.
Almost all oils are destructive to
vegetation, but the mineral oils are
the only ones cheap enough for gener-
al use. Oils are usually applied at the
rate of 800 to 400 gallons per acre
A high-powered spray pump is very
desirable for this work.
Common salt is cheap and easily
obtained chemical and its use for
killing weeds in sidewalks and cutters
is well known. Salt is applied either
dry or in solution. Dry salt is used
at the rate of to 10 tons per acre, or
solution of 8 l-3 pounds to the gal
lon is applied at the rate of $50 to
400 gallons per acre. There is no
particular advantage in having the
brine heated.
Waste chemicals from Industrial
works can sometimes be obtained at
small costs for weed killing. The most
common waste chemicals are sodium
chloride, sodium sulphate, calcium
calcium chloride, waste acid and
waste oil.
