Placing Numbers on Main
Highways.

M. G.. Brown and J. E. Henderson
of the state highway department.
forces are now engaged in marking
the more important highways in the
state in accordance with the scheme
decided upon several weeks ago. This
marking system consists of numbers
given each road and these numbers
are being placed at intervals all along
the highways.
The Washington-Atlanta highway
from Columbia to Augusta will be the
first road to be numbered, this being
"No. 12" from Columbia to Augusta
and "No. 5O' from Columbia to the
North Carolina line. The Piedmont
highway from Charleston to Green
vile and on to the Georgia line above
Walhalla will be the next road to be
numbered. This is "No. g." Other
roads will be numbered as fast as the
department can do the work.
Some difficulties are being expert
enced in placing the numbers through
towns and the highway department. is
taking this matter up with town au-
thorities now to arrange for suitable
markings. Signs marking "a number
of the roads placed by E. j. Watson,
late commissioner of agriculture, are
being retained where possible and are
being repainted and repaired.
Distance and direction signs have
been placed in practically all the
counties On the main roads and with
the work to be done next week all
counties will have been completed,
the highway department announced
yesterday. These signs give the dis
tance to various towns and the direc-
ton to take while the new markers
give the number of the road so trva-
elers can follow these numbers
throughout the state on any trip

Spartanburg Jury Convicts
Changing Man.

Spartanburg, Oct. 29-Tom Hatch
ette was found guilty of assault and
battery Of high and aggravated ma
ture and Lee Porter was acquitted
in the verdict returned late tonight in
the case of Tom Hatchette and Lee
Porter, former county chaingang
guards, charged with murder in con-
nection with the death of Thomas M.
Keelan of Elizabeth, N. j., a convict,
whipped by Hatchette while in COM
mand Of chaingang at work near,
Glenn Springs last August. Sentence
will be passed on Monday by Judge
] ohm S. Wilson. The conviction car
ries penalty up to ten years in the
discretion Of the court.
Thomas Keelan, who was serving a
80 day sentence on the County chain
gang for train riding, died suddenly
after being whipped by Hatchette, as
sisted by Porter for failure to work.
Keelan claimed to have been i'll, but
was required to go on the road with
the forces. He faltered and was then
punished and sent into ditch with a
pick. Here it was he fell and was car
ried to the shade of a tree where he
died in few minutes.
The trial of the case has consumed
two days and went far into the night
before arguments were concluded and
the case reached the jury.
The verdict was rendered after two
hours of deliberation. Judge Wilson
in his >charge to the jury made it
clear that there is no authority for
corporal punishment in this state and
quoted the constitution of South Car
olina to sustain that position.
AMI investigation of the case was
asked by Governor Cooper and even
the department of justice was asked
to make an investigation by relatives
of Keelan in New Jersey.

Low Acreage and High Pro-
ductiveness Will Regulate
Price of lotion.

The, United States Department of
Agriculture report, as of September
25, 1921, indicates e yield of only
l1S pounds of lint cotton per acre,
or total yield of about 6,537,OOo
bales.
The year book Of the department
gives the yields since 1856 and the
lowest yield per acre in the fifty-five
years, 1866 to 1920 inclusive, is 129
pounds in 1866. The largest yield per
acre is 22O.6 pounds made in 1898.
Only six times in fifty-five years have
yields of as much of 200 pounds per
acre been made. The estimate of the
yield this year is IL pounds per acre
lower than the lowest and 1925
pounds lower than the highest.
The, acreage, if as estimated (26,-
$4,000 acres), is also the smallest
since 1900, The acreage even in 1901
GIG, ,774,OOO acres, and every year
since was larger than the estimated
acreage for 1921.
The estimate of 6,537.OOO bales is
the smallest total American crop
since 1886, when it was 6,446,Ooo
bales. The crop as early as 1882, or
thirty-nine years ago, was larger
(6,957, 900 bales) than that estimat-
ed for this year. When it is considered
that the American crop doubled from
1866 to 1872, then doubled again
from 1871 to 1890 and then just
about doubled again from 1890 to
1914, it will be realized what revo-
luton in cotton production has occur
red in 1921, when the acreage went
back to that of 20 years ago.
At even a price of 20 to rs cents
pound there is not enough cotton in
the world to supply the needs until
the 1922 crop is made. Consequently
if the buying power of the world were
normal the price of cotton would go
out of sight, but with most Of the
world poor, or at least short of ready
cash, even price of 25 cents a pound
will curtail consumption. Cotton
should never sell, below 20 cents a
pound for it can not be produced
for less and allow the actual produc-
ers or those who till the soil fair
wage. We produced cotton for the
ten years prior to our entrance into
the war for lib cents a pound, but

OPPOSE PUNISHMENT
OF JAPANESE SENTRY
Who Shot and Killed Lieutenant Lang
don of United States Navy
at Vladivostok.

Toxic, Feb. l6- (By the Associated
Press. - Punishment of Toshigoro
Oga sawara, the Japanese sentry who
shot and killed Lieutenant Warren IL.
Langdon of Boston, chief engineer OF
the United States cruiser Albany, at
yladiyostok late in December, was
opposed in a resolution introduced IN
the Japanese diet to-day by Repre-
sentative Venryu Tanaka, member OF
the KenseiKai, or opposition party.
The resolution declared that the action
of the sentry was justifiable and that
any punishment visited upon him
would initiate against discipline in the
army.
"As sentry on duty in such a place
as Vladivostok and under such cIrcum
stances as give rise to the Langdon at
fair" the resolution declared, "the con
duct of the Japanese private was en-
tirely justifiable, as he acted In selt-de-
Tense. If the sentry should be punished,
perhaps no japanese soldier in the flu
ture will be willing to take up the bur
den of the duties attaching to SEN
try. much less to carry out those duties
faithfully. From the standpoint OF mil
itary discipline, as well as that OF mo.
ralitv. punishment of the sentry would
be a serious travesty on justice.
A regiment of former soldiers IN the
CITY of Shisuoka, near Yokohama, has
adopted resolutions opposing the pun
ishment of Ogasawara. Officers, espe-
cially those in junior grades. who are
going to Manchuria, plan the Inaugural
ton of a movement to arouse public
opinion, basing their action on the
ground that the sentry's punishment
would menace the execution of military
duty.
Dispatches from Vladivostok TO the

Ogasawara had been found guilty OF a
breach OF discipline, have not been con
firmed

WANTS THE GRAND TRUNK
Providence Still Hopes to Be Linked
with Canada

1t is significant that at the hearing
before a committee of the Massachu-
sets general court last week, held to
consider the extension of the time
limit in the charter of the Southern
New England railroad corporation, the
towns through which the partly con-
strueted line passes, appear to be as
warmly in favor of the opening of the
road as they were 10 years ago. En-
thusiasm which cannot be dampened
after such disappointment as has come
to the friends of this project has some
thing substantial at the foundation.
The feeling favorable to the Grand
Trunk project has not changed in
Providence and northern Rhode Island,
where the construction work has not
progressed as far as in Massachusetts,
but has gone far enough " leave con
stantly visible remainder of postponed
hopes and idle life capital. The com
mittee in Massachusetts, promptly rec
commended the time extension. No
doubt Rhode Island will grant SINH
lar extension when it is asked. If not
extended the franchises in both states
will expire the coming summer, and
the completion of the line before that
time is, of course, out of the question.

coming out Of North Dakota about the
administration of the state govern
ment, the financial policies and the
general politics Of the state, as re-
ported by William LANCER and others,
will make a good market for the
bonds.
Nobody doubts the solvency of the
state of North Dakota, or the integrity
Of the great body Of its citizens. These
bonds are said TO have been passed
upon by the supreme court Of the state
and probably are valid, but there is
evidence that the affairs Of the state
are not being well managed. People
are not quite sure what the policies
Of the present state authorities might
be if they should be retained in pow.
er. It has been pointed out that the
sinking fund in which is to be an
nually accumulated for the payment
of the principal as it falls due, 10 70
be in the custody of the Bank Of North
Dakota and that the bank has power
to lend it to the departments Of state
that are conducting state industries.
Naturally people ask what kind of
