CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE
OF Il. S. SUPREME COURT
PASSED AWAY TODAY

according to students of law. Occu-
pying place in the court for y years
Mr.. White participated in Judgments
which decided the fate of the income
tax. direct primary, prohibition and
woman suffrage amendments, as well
IS the issues of the tremendous legal
battles which grew ont of, the anti
trust and commerce regulation laws
and the great war.
High Concept of His Position.
Mr.. White considered the chief jus
ticeship as equal in Importance to
the presidency, according to intimate
friends. 1t is related that on leaving
Louisiana to come to Washington he
confidently expressed the hope that if
fortune offered him the opportunity OF
either post it would be the seat of Mar
shall and Rutledge.
In international affairs Mr.. White :
influence was felt in the arbitral award
determining the boundary line between
Costa Rica and Panama. Called upon
in 1911 to complete the work begun by
President Loubet of France in fixing
a boundary between the two coun-
tries, he arrived at decision which
the American government is now in
sisting Panama shall accept and cease
the dispute with her neighbor on the
question.
During recent years Mr.. White in
dulged in no exercise except walking.
His vacations, spent in Maine or Cana
da, were devoted largely to reading
in preparation for the next terms
work.
Some years ago he attempted to
master the intricacies of bicycling as a
means he said, of reducing weight, but
he gave up the venture after a few
trials and returned to the mental eX-
ercise of his remarkable library.
More than one newsboy and pencil
peddler of Washington will miss the
chief Justice as will the coterie of
famous attorneys who practice before
the supreme court. Mr.. White spent
much of his spare time strolling the
shaded streets in the vicinity of his
Massachusetts avenue home, or the FL
lipse to the south of the White House,
and frequently he paused to speak with
the youthful news peddlers who have
stands along the route, or to give more
material help to unofficial proteges who
had come to watch for him without
recognizing in the great rugged figure
and stern face of the pedestrian the
chief justice of the United States

BARRE GRANITE MEMORIAL
Will Be Set Up to Honor Memory Of
Benjamin Z. Wallace.

Within the past few days the Cen
tral Granite Co. OF Wiley street has
closed contract for big sarcophagus
granite monument to be erected over
the grave of the late Benjamin 4. Wal
lace of the Wallace Hageuback wild
animal shows at Peru. Ind. The deal
was closed through a granite retailer
who was 4 close friend Of the decea sed
circus man. Besides the monument the
order calls for eight markers Of vari-
ous sizes, four corner posts and one
urn
The monument, six piece affair,
will be made from light Barre granite
and will be all fine hammered. The
bottom base will measure II feet by
nine feet and the whole thing will
stand about Is feet above the ground
level. No elaborate carving will appear
on any section Of any Of the pieces,
and yet the job could hardly be called
a plain. one. Many members, square
and rounded, on the die and cap and
scotiated bases help to add to the at
tractiveness and detraet from absolute
plainness. Two square pauelled column
effects raised square on the front and
back Of the die create desirability
and completeness which could not be
surpassed. The name. Wallace" Is TO
be cut on both sides Of the die in large
square raised block letters. When mon
ument. markers. posts and urn are all
completed il is estimated that the
whole job will cost very close 10 81
500 Although the contract calls for
no particular date on which the or
der shall-sse ready for delivery. Edward

SWEET POTATOES
POOLED AT PROFIT.
Forty to Fifty Carloads Go to East
and West.-President Makes
Statement.

Florence July l.-Between 40 and
SO carloads of kiln dried South Car
olina sweet potatoes were placed in
the eastern and inidwestern markets,
which have ever been the objective
of the s0lthern producer, during the
past year through the South Carolina
Sweet Potato association under its
pooling" plan. T. Benton Young, OF
Florence, president of the association,
has reported to the directors. These
were placed with net return Of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to The grow
erS, his report further showed.
1--WE consider this performance of
the association 4 tremendous step
towards placing the sweet potato in
South Carolina on commercial basis
and opening up the territory which
will be our chief market" Nj. Young
stated. "The success of our handling
on a cooperative or pool basis is at
tested by the applications which we
had from houses, which refused early
in the season TO join the association,
10 handle their output after they had
tried to dispose of it and failed to
get as good market as we had found.
Further the potatoes which we
placed were of the quality and stand
ard to establish the South Carolina
sweet potato in these markets as a
permanent delicacy and article Of
food"
Kiln cured sweet potatoes were
handled by the association from
Thousese in Williston, Fairfax, Allen
dale, Appleton, Lanes, Garnett, Bam-
berg, Walterboro, Barnwell, Florence,
Yemassee, Aiken and other places
this past year.
This year the association is under
taking to negotiate crate deal for
its members. It has alternative con-
tract for crates at little less than
half the price of last year in lots
, Of 100000, or more. Mr.. Young re-
ports. It also has unusually liberal
terms from the factory which will
accomodare the ossociation in finan-
cling the deal. However. it it not
handling the deal to make money
but merely as a cooperative buying
venture which will save money to
the producers. Tie official standard
crate has been fixed now at 12x12x1S
S-4 inches, inside measure.
Officers were elected again for the
coming year by tie association as
follows:

Board of directors: E. T. H. Shat
fer, Walterboro; r. H. Walker, APP
pleton; E. L. Young, Fairfax; C. /.
McCaslon, Aiken, with the three Off
GERS named above.
In the discussion of the outlook
for the crop this year, Mr.. Young
stated, the officers of the association
formed the estimate that where the
association handled about fifty cars
last year, it will l.andle probably 500
cars this year-the bulk of them into
territory which was opened by the
small volume of last year Reports
from all over the state indicate that
the various sections have male un-
precedented prepa: ations for conserv-
ing the crop this Year. South Caro-
lima has gone farther in the one year
past, he estimates, than in all years
previous, toward putting her sweet
potato on a comrmrcial and market
able basis.
Production is not being emphasized
by the association nearly so vigor-
ously as conservation, thi.. being The
policy of the association.

DUTY TO PERFORM
BY DICTIONARIES
To Instill Sense of Individual Obliga.
tion.-A Statement by Com
mander Emery.

John G. Emery, national comman-
der of the American Legion issued the
following Independence Day state
ment:
"Ours is land of visions made
real. Oppression brought to a self
reliant race of colonists the vision
Of an Independent nation. States
men of those colonies met, drafted
and las years ago signed the death
less document which proclaimed that
vision to the world. Soldiers and
sailors of those colonies through
seven years of war fought in sup
port of that declal alton and at York
town achieved the victory which
made the vision an accomplished fact.
"Over the Allegnanies, across the
Mississippi across the westward prai-
ries, beyond the Rockies and to the
waters of the Pacific was carried the
national frontier by those who march
ed onward in fulfillment of the nation
al vision.
"With the world afame with the
conflict between the forces of op-
preston and autocracy from which
our colonists fought themselves free
and the forces Of democracy anG
freedom which the victory Of 17S3
established in the world, we crossed
the ocean to fight again. The vision
which first revealed itself on these
shores las years ago found a rebirth
ir the victory of 1918.
"While proclam;ng the effect, let
US not overlook th2 same cause which
made possible the world triumph of
the vision of American ideals and in
stitutions Of government. The cause
lies in the fact that in the beginning
our colonists were inspired by a
sense of individual responsibility and
obligation to the state. What WAS
true then is true today. Each Of Us,
as individuals, has our duty and our
obligation to our country. And in
the loyal performance of that luty
resides the hope and the security of
our national institutions.
"The American Legion can have 10
higher mission than to continue to
work to instill in the hearts of all,
this sense of the Individual obligation
t. community, state and nation"

Storing Spring Potatoes and Onions.

Successful storage of Irish potatoes,
as with most other crops, depends a
great deal on how the crop is handled
at digging time. Irish potatoes should
not be allowed to lay exposed to hot
sun over fifteen to twenty minutes at
digging time. A longer exposure will
cause the potatoes to wither, turn
green, or ebcome scalded, and when
pleaced in storage great many will
rot in short time.
Gather the potatoes soon after dig
ging and place in we'll ventilated bas-
kets or crates, advises A. NJ. Musser,
assistant Entensicn horticulturist.
Place these in room where the direct
rays of Light will not fall on the po-
tatoes and though which there is a
good current of air moving continual
ly. Irish potatoes do best to be stor-
ed in a dark room or cellar at a tenn
perature of "a to 36 degrees Fahren-
heit. Such conditions, however, are at
the command of only a few farmers,
and others must do the next best
thing; viz, place them where it is
comparatively darl: through the day
and where good current Of air flows
over the potatoes at all times.
Onions to be stored for future use
should not be harvested until the
recks wither and die and the tops
fall over. They may then be pulled,
tied in bunches Of a dozen or more
and hung on nails OF wire stretched
across a building or room through
which a steady current of air passes.
Just as in storing Irish potatoes, the
prime requisite for storing onions is
thorough ventilation, and when the
crop is small tying in punches is the
best and most economical way of hand
ling. If the crop is large, the tops
should be twisted off after pulling and
the onions placed in shallow crates
stacked to provide sufficient .ventila-
ton. These crates may then be stor-
ed in an open shed or any place that
is dry and we'll ventilated.

DR.. |. E. LIPSC0MB
KILLED NEAR HOME
NEGRO FARM HAND, CHARGED
WITH DEED RUSHED TO =
PENITENTIARY.

Greenwood, July 5.-Two hours af-
ter the fatal shooting of Dr.. Lawton
&c. Lipscomb, prominent farmer and
druggist of Nineuy Six, Pink Griffin,
q negro farm hard was captured by
a posse of citizens headed by L. NJ.
Lipscomb, cousin of the dead man,
brought to GreenU ood and turned over
tc the county Officers. The negro was
spirited away from the Greenwood
county jail to the state penitentiary
at Columbia, for safe keeping. Gov
emor Cooper will be asked to call u
special term of court, to try the ne
gro, who is charged with the crime.
A full confession was made by Grif-
fin to his captors, it is alleged. Dav-
id Machen, another negro, was also
carried to Columbia for safe keeping.
DR.. Lipscomb was shot six times,
three of the bullets taking effect in
the region of the heart, following d
reprimand given Griffin for beating
bis mule, it is SAID. Griffin followed
from the barn lot and began firing
when DR.. Lipscomb had turned and
made an effort to wrench the pistol
from his hands, powder burns and
bullet wounds in the right hand, in
dIcating such. He was dead when his
wife reached him.
The news of the fatal shooting Of
DR.. Lipscomb quickly spread and fully
two thousand citizens formed a posse
and literally combed the woods and
swamps for miles around. The negro
was captured on the Seaboard railway,
near Alexanders brick yard, about
five miles from the scene of the deed.
Sheriff Cannon Blease, of Newberry,
was telephoned for bloodhounds and
he responded at once. When the
negro was captured the hounds were
rot on his tracks. Members Of DR..
Iipscomh's family urged that the law
be allowed to take its course. and the
posse dispersed soon after the negro
was brought to Jail. DR. .Lipscomb is
survived by his widow, who was a
Miss Cathcart, of Columbia, one sister,
Mrs. G. T. Calhoun, Of Ninety-Six,
and three brothers, George w., E. P.
and J. n. Lipscom5, all or Ninety-Six.

appointing committees to take charge
OF the different exhibits and otheT
phases of fair work.
The committee is AZ work on the
premium book and they expect to
have it in the hands Of the public be-
fore very long. There will not be
manv changes in the premium list this
year. We shall stress again individu-
al and community exhibits and We
want everybody who is expecting to
give Us such exhibits d begni now
to prepare. We want especially to
urge every school community to be-
gin thinking about community eN-
hibit. The community exhibits last
year were very good, but we want the
people to strive to make them bet
ter this year.
We want more individual exhibits
this fall and we expect to have them.
The premiums offered will be liberal.
therefore it will lie worth while to
strive for a prize. From an exhibit
standpoint we had the best fair last
year we have ever held, and we are
expecting still better fair this fall.
Effort is being made to get good
clean amusement for young people
and grown-ups alike. There will be
something new every day on the pro-
gram. Begin now to agitate the COM
ing fair and lets make it the best in
the history of Williamsburg county.
