MEETING
NEWBERRY COUNTY FARMERS
Adopt Resolutions to Reduce Cotton
Acreage for This Year-Favored
Law to Make It Effective.

The Newberry county branch of
the American Cotton association met
in the court house at II o'clock Mon
day. The att lance was unusually
large, many farmers being unable to
find seats in the room. County Chair
man Jos. L. Keitt called the meeting
to order and stated it's purposes as
follows:
First. to decrease the acreage of
cotton in Newberry county.
Second, to advance diversified
farming.
In explaining the difficulties faced
by the farmer, the speaker stated
that 100000 tons of fertilizer are
used annually in this state, and that
during the past year this fertilizer
cost the farmers over $50,000,000.
He charged that the organized bank
ers, referring to international deal
ers, have purposely brought about
this reduction Of prices for farm pro-
ducts, and that they did it to in
crease the purchasing power Of the
dollar-so the dollar would buy more
cotton.
Chairman Keitt presented a set OF
resolutions which were revised and
amended by the following committee
DIR. George B. Cromer, chairman
Frank L. Bynum, ]. B. Hunter, Geo.

whereas, the present crop raised at
very heavy expense has declined IN

a Little 2ove Story.

A dreamer and man of action
loved woman. &The dreamer said
81 shall write verses in her praise. ;
they will touch her vanity and she
will love me for them,P
But the man Of action said: How
old fashionedl I shall corner the
stock market, and that will bring
her."
SO the dreamer wrote verses, ana
he induced a friend Of his, who ran a
ten-cent magazine to print them. AND
the man of action cornered something
or other and became Millionaire.
In the meantime the 'giri married q
man who inherited his money, ano
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud OF
his verses that he didn't care; and the
man of action was so busy that ne
didn't care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married.-E5change.

THING THAT REALLY COUNTS
First Punch Always the Effective
Agent, in Life as Well as the
Squared Circle.

Georges Carpenter is smart fellow
that Is, he is something more than a
fighter. One might even call the
Frenchman prophet.
"The one that gets in the first punch
will win," he said, referring to his
coming match with Dempsey.
Well let it go at that so far as the
next worlds championship heavy
weight fight goes. But just look around
and see if You have punch in your
system and if you. can land it first.
How hard can you sock at your job!
What is your batting average in the 4.
m. Or can you take punch as we'll
as give one?
They called iris Speaker miracle
pilot because he put the punch into q
ball club that copied the world title.
He always made it a point to land first
on the scoreboard and when he didn't
he kept slugging away until he usually
had his lead at the end of the game.
Man O. War is called the greatest
horse the world has ever had. But the
Biddle colt is just horse that puts
the best he has into every race and al
ways Man O. War finishes ahead of the
dust.
The football star who "hits 'em
frst' is usually on the honor roll when
the cleats are hung up at the end OF the
season.
It's the punch that counts, from mar
bles to X. O.-Chicago Evening Post.

TEMPTED BY BRIGHT LIGHTS.
Adventurous Bessie Attempted to
Make Her Way Into Vaudeville
in City Of Dallas.

Gentle Bessie, tired Of the humdrum
life Of giving milk and butter for the
hungry mouths Of some family, and
bored with the pastoral quiet Of the
farm, determined the other night to
have taste Of the gay life Of the big
city at least once before she crossed
the River Styx. Accordingly she
sought out the brightest lights Of the
city. vaudeville house.
But first her bovine majesty saun-
tered gayly up Elm street from La
mar, gazing In the show windows as
she royed. While in this vicinity she
even attempted to enter street car.
Then, pursuing her primrose course. she
plodded on toward the center Of the
city until she was confronted with the
gray, yellow lights Frightening the
front Of vaudeville show. Not con-
sidering whether she would be well
come guest, Bessie walked into the
lobby Of the show, thereby nearly
causing the head usher to be smitten
with Mysteries. He finally recovered.
and, taking courage and stick, he
rushed at Bessie. Feeling that she
was not wanted there, Bessie walked
out again. 4
At the door she was met by a re-
ception committee consisting Of two
policemen who had been summoned
and without ceremony she was roped
and led away to the city pound, where
she btooded over the sights of the big
city as she had seen them.-Dallas

School Registers.

There have been a few teachers
who have called for school registers
when did not have any. / have
received few more and if there are
any teachers who have no registers
If they will write me | wall be glad
to furnish them. It is important that
each teacher have register and that
it be kept carefully and. accurately.
/ would ask. each teacher to read
regulation or rule eight in the tirst
part Of the register. am expecting
each teacher to keep, a correct and
accurate record Of enrolment and av-
e1Sge attendance and be prepared
when the school closes to send IN
PROMPTLY the annual report. ] must
have this in order to make out the
annual report which l am required
to send the state superintendent OF
education. IF the teacher fails to-
keep the record correctly ! will be
nnahle. to make correct report II for o.
the state superintendent OF educa-
ton. 49,. .
It would be a good idea for all
teachers to look over the list of books
and things to be%taught which they
win find by grades is the back of.the
register. In fact the register con-
tains a. good many useful things for
teachers besides the record and the
salary pay warrants. Please study
itscarefully and it will be helpful.
And if many of the new teachers
would secure copy Of the manual
it would be helpful if they would
study it.
Quite a few of the teachers have
married during the term and 1t makes
it necessary to get new teachers
which is never good for the school,
or rarely SO. Of course I do not OBJ
iect to the young ladies taking unto
themselves some one who is worthy
Ia. furnish them home, but it would
have been better for the school II
they had waited just few months,
especially where they find it neees-
sary to give up the school, and yet 4
wish them all mighty well and long
life and happiness. And we have
been very fortunate so far to fur
nish some one to take the place
where they have resigned. The cry
of hard times seems to give boost
to the matrimonial market and 1
reckon it is well. It has always been
thus and I reckon will continue so to
the end.

Special Prosecutor took three wit

afternoon to present evidence which
was expected TO lead 10 the indict-
ment of a recently retired police cap
tain on charges OF accepting unlaw-
full fees.
The information on which Mr.,
Whitman acted was obtained for him
by Detective Al Thomas, chief in
vestigator for the former Governor
in his inquiry into municipal affairs
The witnesses were all well known
manufacturers of ladies' garments. 1t
was said that they would tell the
Grand Jurr Of paying money to a
certain detective agency during a
strike Of employers three years ago
From the detective agency, it Is re-

Efforts are also being made by
Whitman TO connect three other
police captains and two inspectors
with automobile and strike graft
Evidence along this line was pre-
sented to the Grand Jury. Mr.. Whit
man also called adjusters OF insur-
ance Offices and presented their evil
dence to the Grand Jury.
Information has reached Mr.. Whit
man that thousands OF dollars have
been paid as rewards TO policemen for
bringing about the return of stolen
automobiles, and that other large
sums were distributed by the Gar
ment Manufacturers Association for
police protection during the strike in
that industry.
The insurance adjusters were accom-
panied to the Criminal Courts Build
ing by Attorney Royal II. Weller, No
81 Nassau street. The adjusters took
with them check and account books
In one instance a check made payable
to the Police Commissioner OF New
York was found to have been in
dorsed by a patrolman.
Under the law, rewards to members
OF the Police Department are sup
posed to be divided so per cent. to the
winner, 10 per cent to the pension
fund and 40 per cent. to the relief
fund. In many cases MIR. Whitman
has been told, the entire proceeds were
obtained by persons cashinE the

Two tall steel filing cabinets, with
combination locks were unIoaded
from truck at the White Street
door OF the Criminal Courts Building
shortly before o'clock this after
noon. They were set up on the first
floor guarded by number Of agents
from the Attorney Generals office.
The safes had been taken by order
OF Justice McAvoy from the office Of
Robert p. BrindeiI, on trial for ex-
tortion.
Later in the day Samuel Untermyer
said he would obtain the services Of
a Jimmy Valentine like person who
would open them 'Nby ear"
The bringing of the strong boxes
into the custody OF the court was
made necessary because Roswell d.
Tompkins, Secretary Of the Building
Trades Council and the only person
except Brindell who knows the com
hnation, is outside the reach Of the
court. Whether or not the missing
records of the Building Trades Coun7
cil are in the safes will not be known
until Mr. Untemyer and his staff
get at their contents. Brindell can
not be forced to open the safes lest
he thus obtain immunity on the
ground he has been compelled 20 tes-
tify against himself.

ALBANY, Jan. Ex-senator Alvin W
Burlingnme Of Brooklyn arose in the

Of the B. r. T., who has no juris-
diction in Brooklyn, and also OF a

up his residence in Manhattan, who
never did live in Brooklyn, and knows
little or nothing about that part Of
Greater New York.
He said that for twelve months OF
receivership Mr.. Garrison, former
Federal office holder had received
S125, 200. Stone and Webster, the eX-
pert accountants, he said, received
S13l, 900 in practically the same period
for telling Receiver Garrison that
the roads were losing money under
his receivership
when Receiver Garrison was asked
lis opinion by reporters OF the pro-
posed Investigation of the Brooklyn
delegation" the Senator continued,
"he said that II was joke"
The whole thing Is evidently joke
with Mr.. Garrison. When bhe b. II. T,
sought friendly receiver, they did
not go to either OF the two Federal
Judges in Brooklyn, but to Judge
Mayer in Manhattan. Their pretext
was that there we're creditors in Man

were creditors whose claims totalled
