THE MOST FAMOUS WOMAN IN

Cleopatra was bosu'in b. O. 90 and
with her brother PtolemyP became joint
heir to the throne Of Egypt. The two
disagreed and Cleopatra ned from Al
'exandria. About this time Julius
Caesar, fresh from his. great victory
over Pompey. arrived In the Egyptian
capital. with true Roman courtesy"
he seized the principal buildings and
bid its warning factions behave. Cleo
patra heard and took heed. On Ger. .

came Q giant Nubian slave. bearing

rolled Il before Caesar. and Cleopatra
stood before him In unrobed lowell
ness. She was sixteen, Caesar almost
sixty.
The next day he banished her en-
emies, but instead OF placing Cleopatra
firmly upon the throne, he carried her

until he was assassipated by Brutus.
Cleopatra returned to Alexandria and
found her throne more secure than
before. But she made the mistake OF
negotiating with the wrong Roman par

her penitence. He came as ruler OF
all the East, or one half the known
world. which he had divided with Oc-

Cleopatra went forth to meet him
In her famous galley. Antony saw

Cleopatra saw the Inevitable about

cur OUT COTTON

In an address lcfore the Louisiana
and Mississippi division of the A,neri-
cans Cotton Association Mr.. Paul NJ.
Potts, of Mississippi, urged the aboli-
tion of cotton raising for one season
in order to get rid of the boil weevil
Mr.. Potts, said:
81 have tried every method sug-
gested to get rid of the ravages of
the weevil, but thy have failed. There
is only one sure method. That is for
the cotton belt, through legislative
action, to prevent the planting of
any cotton for one year. The weevil
cannot propagate it's species unless
1T has cotton plants to lay it's eggs
in. If there was no cotton for one
year the weevil would be wiped out"
w. b. Thompson,a leading cotton
factor, of New Orleans, president of
the Louisiana division of the Ameri-
can Cotton association, urged upon
the cotton men present the necessity
for controlling acreage and develop
ing a chain of bonded warehouses
throughout the cotton belt.
"The country will be on the high
road to prosperity if the farmers
continue to plant only one third Of
their acreage in cotton and the rest
in food and feedstuffs," said Mr..
Thompson.
One trouble about limiting the
planting of cotton is that it seems
impossible for cotton farmers to act
together even for their own good.
While certain contingent might not
plant cotton another class of farmers
would say "now is our chance to
make money on. cotton" and would
put in big crop.
Every class of workers except
farmers seem to be able to organize
for their own benefit. 1t is as SNAKE

RANDALL PARRISH

One Of the most popular, most in
dustrious and typically American
writers Of the day, is Randall Parrish.
He deals largely in plots of romance,
mystery and adventure. Frequently
the setting is in the West, but not
always. His latest story "The Mys-
terry Of the Silver Dagger" is laid in
the East and introduces new char
acters and incidents. One Of its un-
usual angles is the mystery with
which he surrounds the principal
female participant. You do not dis
cover until the final chapter whether
she is dangerous criminal, foreign
plotter, = secret service agent or Just
a normal, sweet American girl acting
from high ssass ot dsty. Such m
certainty adds to the charm of the
narrative. It will be offered soon ~
serial in these columns. Be sure
to get the opening ::a.=..ll.ent.

SOUTH CAROLINA
THE WONDER STATE

Not one of the great daily papers
of the South has upon it's staff more
able correspondent that James A..
Hollaman, of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Hollomon is now adding to
his well earned laurels as a brilliant
correspondent by series of letters
from Southern States showing the
method of government, the taxation
problems Of each state and the meth
DDS adopted by which the states
conduct their financial, educational
and other interests.
In his special dispatch from Co
llmOia, S. c., Mr.. Hollomon says:
"One wonders how the government
of the state of South Carolina is run
on so small amount of money con-
sidering that total of $6,OOO,0OO a
year is all it takes in, the major por-
tion of which goes into school sup
port.
And that last fact, in a degree,
is the answer.
South Cardinals remarkable agri-
cultural Development is attributable
more to the excellent work of Glenn
son college, and it's collateral public
service activities than to any other
source.
South Carolina's remarkable tex
tile development is attributed more
than any other source to the train
ing of the young men of the state
in textile engineering; and of the
great work of the textile schools,
and the mill schools and community
service carried on under the au-
spices of one or another branch of
school activity in the state"
In an editorial article referring to
Mr.. Hollomon's special, the Constitu.
tion says.
'In the Hollomon dispatch from
South Carolina recently The Consti.
tution's correspondent calls that
the wonder State" for the reason
that she depends almost entirely up,
on a property tax for revenue; takes
in, all told, about $6,OOO,OOO a year
and yet it is matter of official record
that the state is actually leading the
South in school support, in proportion
to her per capita wealth and white
population.
South Carolina has q population
of only 100000, or more than 8
million less than Georgia. She ha:
no private property. She is ir
debt, borrowing each year to pay
her obligations, but she "pays' a.
she goes, absolutely, and furnishe.
support to her great agricultural col
lege, Clemson of around 100000 8
year; to her industrial normal $4OO,
600; to her university $250,OO0, ano
to her military college around $500,
600. She leaves the responsibility OF
common school maintenance to the
counties, but appropriates $1,00O,OOC
year to encourage consultations
long terms, attendance efficiency
etc, through various state aid bonu.
SeS.
South Carolina, like Georgia, is
looking around for a more modern
and adequate revenue system; but
South Carolina, unlike Georgia, is
not letting any of her institutions,
educational or humane, suffer in
the meantime. She appropriated to
illustrate, in 1921, $7s4,00O to her
state hospital.
Indeed, it is a Wonder State!'
She never has deficit" If she
needs money she borrows it. She
