SOUTH ERECTS SHAFT
 TO JEFFERSON DAVIS
(sy the As.cc1aIeo rress)

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 1.-The Jeff ferson Davis obelisk, crowning monu- ment to the president of the southern Confederacy, will be unveiled June 3, 1922, at Davis birthplace in Fair view, Ky, on his 114th anniversary. The Davis homestead is about 140 miles from Hodgenville, Ky, where Abraham Lincoln was born.
 The obelisk, which will be 175 feet high, is today within five feet of com- pletion. 1t was planned originally to erect shaft $50 feet, to be excelled only by the Washington monument, but the Jefferson Davis Home Asso-, citation decided to hasten the unveiliny in accordance with the wish of Con- federate veterans. Anxious to parti- Icipate in the ceremonies, the thinning ranks urged completion as soon as possible. The work was started in 1917 and interrupted by the world war.
 Profiles in bronze of MT. Davis and his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Davis Mayes, one of the most beautiful wom- en, of the south, ornament the base of the monument, which is 43 feet square. It contains a room for relics.
 Cost of the monument to date is about S100,000, which was raised by popular subscription.

TEN TO ONE-WlLD BILLS
 GREATEST FIGHT
3, Western Newspaper Union.

When the Overland stage route te the Colorado gold fields was estab ashed shortly before the Civil war one of the bravest drivers in its em. plOy was young man from Illinois named James B. Hickok. In 1881 Hickok was taken off the stages and put in charge of the Rock Creek sta aon, west of Topeka Kan. in a region 6lled with gangs of outlaws and high, way robbers. One of these. known as :he McCandlass gang, invited Hickok 0 join them and; upon his refusal, threatened to visit him some day and make him regret his defiance.
 "Youu find me here any time you .ome," was Hickok's reply.
 A few days later the McCandlass gang did find him there. They at lacked him in his dug-out, battered down the door and Jim McCandlass, the leader, sprang into the room. He was killed by bullet from Hickok's eifie. Three more of the gang were shot down with a pistol before the other six drew their bowie knives and rushed upon him.
 "Then l went wild" said Hlckok in telling of the fight afterwards. Dcs- perately wounded but terrible in his berserker rage, he came to grips with the outlaws, and when the fight was over eight of the ten were dead and the other two fled for ,helr lives Ever afterward kickok was known as Wild Bill
 Later Wild Rlll enlisted in the Union army as scout. He served with Gen eral Curtis in Arkansas ana repeatedly entered the Confederate lines as Al spy. More than once he was discoy- cred and forced to flee, and more than once the tleeness and intelligence of his favorite horse, Black Nell" saved his life. He was a sharpshooter al the Battle of Pea Ridge, where he dis tinguished himself by killing the Con federate general Mccullough.
 After the war Bill returned to Kan sas and became scout for General Custer, who set a high value on his Sci N4ocS anu "4o oHCe Sd4u Helner on foot or on horseback, Wild Bill was one of the most perfect types of physical manhood l have ever seen.' From 1867 to 1870 Hickok served as marshal of Hays City and Abilene Kan.
 Hickok's adventurous career came to an end in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He had gone there with the first gold rush and in some way had incurred the enmity of Jack Mccall a gambler. On August ?, 1876, Me Call treacherously shot him in the back as he sat playing cards with sople of his friends,

HOLT AGAIN HAYS
 HARD|NC'S STAND
fBy the Associated Press)

Lake Junaluska, x. C., Aug. 12.- Calling upon all true friends of the league of Nations to give President Harding every opportunity to perfect the suggested association of nations, Hamilton Holt of New York, one Of the leaders of the prologue Repub- licans, speaking here last night at the laymen's conference of the Methodist Episcopal church south, declared that the president soon must choose be- tween the pro-leaguers in his cabinet whom he made and the bitter enders in the senate who made him."
 But We cannot wait much longer. The world is on the verge of revolu- tion, famine and pestilence. Mir. Hard ing must choose between the pro-leag- uers in his cabinet whom he made. or the bitter -enders in the senate who made him. The decision must be made reasonably soon. If not, all friends of the league must organize so as to capture congress in 1922 and the presidency in 1924. They must tread the path of the opponents of slavery, who continued fighting even though election after election went against them.
 Nearly all the Democrats and more than half the Republicans, clear ma jority of the American people-want the United States to enter some kind of an association with enough teeth in it actually to lessen the probabilities of war. They can win if they unite.' '

DERRICK RESIGNS
JAS. w. JOHNSON ELECTED

At meeting of the directors of
the chamber of commerce, held on
Tuesday afternoon, President S. j.
Derrick resigned the presidency, Civ
ING as his reason more work than he
could attend to without this job. And
he did not care to hold on to any
lob unless he could render faithful
and efficient service and he felt that
the chamber of commerce should
have a man who could give it more
attention. The resignation was ac-
cepted with reluctance because Mr..
Derrick has rendered good service as
president and the directors would
have been glad for him to have re-
tanned the position. But knowing the
arduous duties that devolve upon the
president of college and not want
ing to tax Mr. Derrick too heavily
his resignation was accepted.
Mr.. Jas. w. Johnson was elected
to succeed Mr.. Derrick and will
bring energy and enthusiasm and
vision to the job and a broad spirit
that will mean much for the success
of the organization.

FOR THE LEGISLATURE

To the Voters of Newberry County:
As a candidate for the unexpired
term for the legislature, l have been
asked for my platform, if elected. I
candidly give it here, to wit:
l am against any and all high sal
aries of state and county officers;
against all high appropriations.
If you want the now fearful ex-
penses of the sheriff's Office, don't
vote for me; if you want the high
salary of the superintendent of edu-
cation, don't vote for me; if you want
the, useless and high salaried office of
rural policeman, don't vote for me;
if you want the useless office of farm
demonstrator, don't vote for me; if
you want the usel s office of canning
demonstration, don't vote for me; if
you want high appropriations for
Clemson college, Winthrop college,
South Carolina college, Charleston
college, Negro college, don't vote for
me; if you want the useless and fear
full salaried office of health unit, don't
vote for me; if you want the useless,
office of health clinic, don't vote for
me; if you want the coming legisla-
ture to vote referendum for the con-
templated fifty million dollars bond
issue, don't vote for me.
/ have an idea that Clemson coll.
lege, Winthrop college and South
Carolina college should either be CIV
en- or sold to those grand old Chris
tians, the Baptists, Presbyterian and
Methodists, and let them be made de-
nominational institutions.
