Fighting Pine
Blister Rust

mOval of currantS and g~OOSeberries
from all areas within 200 yards OF
white pine forests. A federal appro-
priation of 100000 is sought for dem
onstrating methods OF control to pine
owners, i'm cooperation with the states,
and for strictly enforcing the federal
quarantine prohibiting shipments Of
blister rust host plants.
Fifteen States Represented.
The Association of State Forestcrs
having made a ~three-day tour of in
spection in Essex and Warren coln-
ties, studying white pine blister rust
infections, a meeting was called ut
which We're present representatives of
the forest departments of California,
Oregon, Minnesota. Wisconsin. Ohio.

New Hampshire, Maine, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, New Jersey. Mary
land and Delaware; also of the United
States forest service and United States
bureau of plant industry.
The conservation committees work
the last four years in connection with
white pine blister rust was carefully
investigated.
Under the guidance of Clifford X.
Pettis, superintendent OF state forests,
n William G. Howard. assistant SUI
perintendent, the extensive forests Of
white pine in Essex county were ex-
amined to note the infections Of The
blister rust, and its distribution from
pine trees to currant and gOoseherry
bushes, and back to the pine: and the
disastrous effect of these Infections.
There was found every graduation be-
tween trees wholly killed and recent
infection, including partly killed trees.
In some of the cases damage was re-
ported as almost equivalent to a forest
fire.
Resolution Adopted.
The resolution adopted by the assoc

the United States Department of Agri-
culture and to state officials, says:
"The association strongly urges that
a federal appropriation of $3On.OO0 be
made for demonstrating methods OF
control to pine owners In cooperation
with the states, and for strict enforce
ment Of the federal quarantine prelih-
ting shipments of blister rust host
plants.
1T is recommended that states with
fire leased pine interests take immedi-
ate steps to bring the danger from this
disease to public attention through
suitable publications and other mean
and to appropriate adequate funds for
the control Of the disease."
The association also adopted resolu-
tions advocating the passage of n hIl

Mr.. Hinnant is ideally equipped ito
present this subject in all of its ram

tarv for the city of Wilmington, IN
addition to boy scout commissioner
for that city.
Perhaps some of the Newberrlans
who have attended the courses at

a summer camp for boys at Wacca-
NAV, n. c.
Every person in Newberry with the

The Lightning's Prank

During the heavy thunder rain last
Thursday afternoon just as we were
going to press, lightning struck the
large water oak in front of the resi-
dence' of Mr.. S. B. Jones and family.
The bolt hit the body of the tree be
low the limbs, leaving strea k down
the trunk. No signs of any effect
were apparent at the tree top or in
any of the branches thereof. A small
pice of bark, about as large as a la
dy's hand, was left hanging where the
bolt struck, and the stroke played a
peculiar trick in putting out the lights
in several houses Of the neighborhood,
skipping some and affecting others
across the street. For instance, the
Abrams house on the same side, and
the Smith and Johnson house on the
opposite side.

THE NEGRO WILL HARRIS
STILL AT LARGE

There was a rumor out that Magis-
trate Cooper of Ninety-Six had re-
ported as groundless the capture OF
Will Harris, who is wanted for the
assault and robbery of Mr.. and Ms.
H. Johns at Vaughnville on the night
of the 18th instant. Magistrate Coop
er, according 10 the Greenwood In
dex-Journal of the 10th, stated that
ne knew nothing Of the alleged cap
ture.
Sheriff Blease, who returned to
Newberry the night of the 14th after
strenuous efforts to capture Harris,
has been untiring in trying to appre-
bend the culpfit. There were many
wild rumors afoat, but the truth is
that there is no doubt that one of the
negroes in Newberry Jail was con-
nected with the crime, the other two
being held on cIcumstantial evidence
until investigation can lbe more fully
made. The chief actor in the tragedy
is Will Harris, and Sheriff Blease, has
sent out full descriptions of this ne
gro to all parts of the country. He
has already received letters from
several police departments and other
officers stating that they would DO
everything in their power to help get
the man.

WHAT is MEANING
OF FIRE ALARM RINGS?

In giving out my lists of fire alarm
boxes, which came from your press
and which are being received with
great delight by the people OF New
berry, l have learned that quite a
large number of Newberrians do not
understand the fire alarm ring and
after discussing this matter with Mr..
Herman Wright, assistant chief OF the
fire department, I am going TO try
and explain the rings SO that every
one will know where the fire IS when
the next alarm is rung.
Take the last fire for instance: The
bell rang eight times, then four times,
then seven times. Now youl might
think that the fire was at box 847' but
# was not. When the fire bell rings
eight times it is the general alarm'
,to let YOU know that there is a ire,
and it rings eight times preceding eV-
erv alarm, then after the rings there
is a slight pause and then ut rings
another number and after a pause 1t
r;nos the last number. After this 1t
begins all over with eight rings and
after them come the next two num-
hers which are the numbers OF the
FIRE box. If you will disregard the
eight rings and count those which fol-
low you will have no trouble in locat-
ino where the fire is, but don't forget
to follow the slight pauses which come
between all numbers.

hand.

pointed trustees.
Col. Aull is always on the job. He
never tires. In fact, if he will pardon
me for the expression, he reminds me
very much of a bull dog, when ne
takes hold he never lets go until the
blood comes.
Now, have named the teacher who
has been tried retired and has always
been found true. She needs no cem-
mendation at my hands.

LEAGUE MAY COME
OF DISARMAMENT
MUST PLEDGE FORCE TO BIND
AGREEMENT
Proposal to Reduce Must Be Met
With Guarantees to Meet

Washington, Sept. 15.-Can the
United States bring about disarma-
ment entirely or even in part without
assuming responsibilities and losing
it's identity as an isolated nation, and,
to that extent, its sovereignty?
Will not any agreement entered IN
to by the great nations which shall
foregather in Washington November
II require a guarantee in the fulfil
ment of which this nation will plight
it's force and thus become involved
in European affairs?
These questions are regarded in
Washington as highly pertinent I'm
view of the position, it is already indi-
Gated England, France and Japan will
take.
1t is understood that every nation
to be represented in the conference
will agree on the advisability of re-
dusing land and sea power both for
the preservation of peace and the al
deviation of the burden Of the tax
payer of the world.
But all of them, with the exception
of the United States, will demand
scme substitute for the eliminated
arms of protection.
France, it is said, would "jump at
a chance to reduce it's standing army
which France supports only at great
financial sacrifice. I, But France, it is
understood, wilts ,demand protection
against it's hssANsarys enemy, Germ
any. - XMf u.
EngZaadla ti,isallta aasa force
it is SAD. But according to "ha1
is discussed in Washington, England
will demand a guarantee that IN the
event of war it be not detached from
sources of food. And Japan, it is re-
ported will insist on asylum for IT'S
overflow population.
If the nations enter into solemn
agreement with guarantees, the ma,
tions will have formed league OF ma
tions. If the discussion of the ma
tions is academic and it's conclusions
merely idealistic, there is grave doubt
entertained by statesmen in Washing
ton that the result will be binding or
effective.
Il is understood that former Pres
ident Wilson, whose dream OF a
world bound togther for peace was
rudely shattered by the political ele-
ment which now is attempting to ar
rive at his goal by another route, is
very hopeful that the conference will
be successful.
It is understood, however, that his
intimates have heard him say that
the conference can not succeed unless
the nations form an alliance and per-
manently remain allied.
