THE GUILTY WILL DODGE

AN old story runs about like this
\ crime had been committed
A number of suspects had been brought before
the magistrate.
The magistrate had no idea who the guilty
party was
In order to test the matter out he lined up the
suspects in front of him,
He picked up heavy weight one that would in
flct death and said. II going to strike the
guilty party
With these words he drew back his and let
il swing toward the men, One lodged.
He was incarcerated as the guilty party and the
others released
The hog has two outstanding features, One is
he is nasty brute and the other is he tries TO
eat and drink all that is in sight
ii charge OF "hog" is made who would dodge
who is not guilty,
1t is said OF when he eats until he
sckens that he made hog OF himself. Also if he
drinks until he wallows in the mire or falls in the
stream or lake he makes hog OF himself.
Hog is perfectly good English word and
carries a meaning that everybody understands. 1t
is synonymous with filth and it is synonymous
with appetite.
The man who has developed neither tendency
will not dodge squirm or squeak when the volley
is fired.

cancer, on cirliza,on--were found guilty and fined
Several drunkS. dope fiend, couple OF whisky
and Jake peddlerS also found guilty and
fined.
That was good SO lar as the arrest and conyic
ton are concerned The highest amount, the heav
lest penalty the police Judge can assess is $40 and
costs OF dollar. Twenty dollars in ALL which is
all that is allowed under the present police court
laws
What profiteth the city by assessing such low
fines What is $50 to man woman OF that
class who goes to make night of it 7? Hardly
one OF the culprits consider the cost of the fines
they figure it in the of the party" Old timers
treat the police Judge almost with contempt when
such paltry fine is assessed They pay it and go
off smiling
There few cities in the state, in the south
west, where punishment for such people is so light
There few cities in the United States that
handicap their police Judge in such manner. Ard
more can we'll pattern after The majority of cities
Lawlessness cannot be stamped out unless fit
ting punishment of crime is to be had. Fitting pun
ishment cannot be through the medium of light fines
for such offenses noted on the botter of The
Ardmore police department.

COLLECTING WEEVIL
PUNCTURED SQUARES

Clemson College, June 20.-Will it
pay to collect punctured squares? is
Il question now being asked by cotton
growers in the boil weevil counties.
1t will, says the entomologists, if
the labor is sufficiently low priced and
the collecting is done early in the
fruiting season. But fifty cents per
hundred suggested by correspon-
dents is too high under the present
conditions. Frequently we have paid
25 cents per hundred proftably in
normal times, but even that figure
is too high at the present price of
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-06-22

cotton and the correspondingly high
er prices of other commodities. About
the best plan to reduce cost to mini
mum is to get women and children in
terested who have an interest in the
crop.
Collecting squares should begin
about week or ten days after the
first blooms appear. If one fails to
thoroughly pick the squares from the
ground, together with those dried on
the plants as we'll as those that show
discoloration or flaring, then the work
is likely to be Improbable. Ordinar-
lily collecting should be done about
once week for period of six weeks.

mann, new German charge here.
Tie commission would carry with it
German authority undoubtedly for
satisfactory guarantees against the
German aggression which BRAND
says France fears.
The committee would be equipped to
consider the points BRAND raised
More important, however, to the
German mind would be discussion
OF the reparations question The
Wirth government contends Germany
cannot meet its reparations payment
after next spring under the present
system
The German official representative
here was scheduled to have an infor-
NAL talk with q state department rep

representation might arise
Italy, in common with Great Brit
ain, is understood to be favorable to
having Germany invited.
The United States and Great Brit
ain have already taken steps to bring
Germany into the arms limitation CON
ference.
These steps were described by an
American official as informal and
tentative SO far as could be learn
ed, Germany has not actually been APP
preached officially.
