APPEAL COURT RENDERS
DECISION IN HOLMES CASE

The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals has reversed the decision of
the lower court in the case Of Jake
Holmes, a Lexington county man,
convicted Of illicit stilling in the
United States circuit court. The cir
cult court of appeals took the position
that the evidence upon which the
conviction had been obtained was OBJ
tanned in violation of the federal con-
stitution in that the enforcement Of
ficers entered the premises of Holmes
without search warrant and the de-
fendant was arrested without a war
rant. The government officers claim
ed to have found on Holmes land an
outfit for making whiskey. but the
defendant denied that he was guilty
as charged. The decision of the cir
cult court of appeals establishes an
important precedent, laying down the
principle that government agents
must secure proper search warrants
before entering premises where it is
suspected that liquor is being made
in violation of law.
Defendant was represented by Col.
G.. T. Graham and George Bell Tim
merman

FINE FARM INFESTED
WITH BOIL WEEVIL.

1t was the pleasure of the editor, in
company with Messrs. Sim Hendrix
and Frank W. Shealy. one day re-
Gently to take a trip over part of the
farm of Mr.. George G. Price, few
miles from Lexington. And it was an
ENJOYABLE trip-enjoyab because
everywhere was seen the evidence OF
good farming. The we'll titled fields,
all fenced in and the crops look
ing fine. the sleek, fat cattle, mostly
REGISTERED or grade Jerseys and Aber-
deem Angus. the fine hogs. all bespoke
forethought, thrift. energy and
tboroush knowledge of good farming
methods. There was only one dark
cloud-the boil weevil, and he had
thoroughly infested one field. In an
other field Mr.. Price says that the
number of weevils was small. The
field in which the havoc had already
heen wrought was next to patch OF
woods all the way. which undoubted-
lv afforded a winter harborage for the
little pests. To the uninitiated a cas-
nal look at this fie!d might lead one
TO believe that the yield OF cotton
would be fine, but close examination
revealed the fact that many squares
had been punctured-under one
stalk we picked up eight punctured
squares and there were more on the
stalk ready to fall.
But good farmer that he is, Mr..
Price has plenty Of other crops grow
ing we'll and looking fine. Corn, peas
velvet beans. watermelons. cante-
]ounes. etc. were in excellent shape
and apparently there were no insects
to bother them. Unfortunately the
vatermelonS were not quite ripe,
much to the regret of the visitors. but
Mr.. Price promised later on to show
MS what he could do in the line Of
raising melons. He has already dem
onstrated to tn" satisfaction OF tn"
editor that he raises fine beans and
as we are indebted to hir'
for a nice mess of them.
While Mr.. Prices cotton crop will
no doubt be cut short by the boil Wee
vii we are willing to predict that he
will come out alright in the end. All
of his eggs are not in one basket.

COTTON MARKET
LOOKING UP

Good cotton was being quoted in
Lexington yesterday at II 1-2C., rep
resenting a rise of about 8 cents
pound in the past few weeks, the
market going as low as 8 1-2c., about
three weeks ago. Export demand has
improved some, while unfavorable
weather in Texas is said to have a
bearing on the market.
The government crop report, issued
last week, shows condition over the
belt Of 68.2 as of Jue 25, which is the
lowest in 20 years. According to the
government estimate, the crop this
year will amount to S,433,O00, the
lowest yield in 25 years. The bureau
estimates that the acreage reduction
this year was 28.4 per cent. This
reduction in acreage, together with
an unfavorab BILE spring, small use Of
fertilizers and boil weevil damage are
said to be the causes for the short
crop. IL

Aiken, July 11.-Henry Montgon-
cry Dibble, president of the Bank of
Western Carolina, and one of the
financial leaders in this section oe
the state, died at his country home,
Vale of Montmorenci, about five
miles from Aiken, at 1:3O o'clock TO-
night. Mr.. Dibble had been in ill
health for the past few months and
at his country home had relino,,isb.
ed much Of his financial work and
worries.
Mr.. D1bble was in 10 sense Of the
word narrow or one sided in his ac-
tjvities and interests. but it was In the
field Of finance that he found the
strongest call for his talent and II
was largely due to his energy and
genius that the Bank Of Western
Carolina has been built up as one OF
he largest and soundest financial in
stltutions in the state. Mr.. Dibble
came to Aiken from his home at
Marshal, Mich, nearly 35 years ago.

Bank of Aiken. This bank, under his
administra ton, grew into the Rank
of Western Carolina, of which Mr.:
Dibble was president at the time Of
his death. With assets totaling s3,-
100000 this bank, in addition to the
home institution at Aiken, now boasts
nine branch banks located at Barn.
we'll, Blackville, Johnston, Batesburg,
Salley, Wagener Lexington. Ellen
ton and North Augusta.
Mr.. Dibble was also intensely in
terested in agriculture and in the ag-
ricultural development of South
Carolina and Aiken county. He was
in many ways a pioneer in scientific
and modern farming methods in the
state and was the builder of the first
silo in South Carolina.
Mr.. Dibble was born in Marshal,
Mich, nearly 60 years ago and was
a graduate Of Cornell university and
was one Of the best educated and
most cultured men in the county, a
man Of wide experience and pleasing
personality, a truly great bushes,
man, a frequent traveller abroad. Mr..
Dibble numbered his friends by the
hundreds and the entire community
feels in his death the loss of one Of
it's most valued citizens. He was a
faithful member o. st. Thaddeus
Episcopal church.
Only two brothers and two sisters,
all of Michigan, survive him. Funeral
had not been complet-
ed tonight and will be announced

CORN CLUB
BOYS OFF FOR
CLEMSON COLLEGE

Willie Harmon of Chaplin and Otis
Harmon of Lexington, the county's
champion corn growers in the boys
corn club, who each grew more than
80 bushels Of corn to the acre last
year, left Monday morning for Glenn
son College, where they will take a
short course in agriculture, as a re-
suit of their winning the scholarships
as prize for their efforts. Willie was
first while Otis was second. We are
unable to give the exact figures Of the
yields made by them, but, according
to Mr.. James W. Shealy, county DEM
onstration agent, both Of them raised
in excess Of so bushels to the acre.
Both Of these boys have been men,
bers of the club for several years and
have made study Of seed selection,
soil preparation, cultivation, etc., and
were consequently in good shape to
make fine record this year.
Last year there were "a boys en-
rolled in the corn clubs of Lexing-
ton county and the average yield
made by the boys was in excess of
so bushels per acre. This year there
are 10 boys enrolled and Mr.. Shealy
thinks that from present prospects
the average yield will be even better
this year than last.
Mr.. Shealy is naturally quite proud
of the record made by his boys and
believes that once having learned as
boys to grow god corn the knowledge
will go with them through life, and
the yield per acre of corn throughout
Lexington county will be increased.

SAYS BASIC IDEA OF
LEAGUE WORLD NEED

Problems of the present day were dis
cussed by DR.. S. Parker Cadman to an
audience of teachers that filed the Me-
ridian Street NJ. Z. Church today. The
speaker in his address, 1.-THE Reconstruc-
ton Of the World" frankly stated that
the basic idea embodied in the League
of Nations will have to be adopted before
world problems can be successfully solved.
The truth Is" the speaker said, that
there would have been no League Of Ma
lions had it not been for Woodrow VIII
son. The league was born in this coun-
try, it was taken to Europe by the Presi-
dent, it was brought back by him and
turned over TO the tender mercies of the
Nurse Lodge. What happened after that
was A plain case of infanticide."
DR.. Cadman favored a policy OF dis
armament and the discarding of interna-
tional 1ealousies. He deplored the atti-
tude of France in keeping an enormous
army in readiness, but admitted that the
fear Of the French that were the nation
to disarm, "the Germans, like a beast
from the woods, will spring at their
throats," was not without sound founda-
ton.
He said that Europe lacks strong states
men at present France has wonderful
soldiers Of genius, but lacks a real states
man" he said. "Briand comes as near II
as any one in France and he Is a long
way from being one. Germany needs a
Bismarck with his face turned toward
heaven and not toward hell, and as for
Russia. well this man Shanks, or what
ever his name is, might probably be
used there"

CROWD TURNS OUT
TO HEAR DU SHANE

Tomlinson Hall was packed to the
doors last night to hear the inaugural
address Of President Du Shane. Mr.. Du
Shane, who is leader of the forces fight
ing the proposed change in the con-
stitution which would abolish the annual
meeting of the association, made strong
plea for the rights of the teacher. he
insisted that politics must be kept out
of education and urged the teachers to
stand together in unity to protect their
own rights and interests. Adequate
teachers salaries also were advocated.
The Rev. DR.. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor
Of the Central Congregational Church OF
Brooklyn, n. Y, former chaplain during
the war, followed President Du Shane.
Three billion dollars Is needed to re-
claim education in the United States" Dr.
Cadman said land we might as well
make up our minds that we, who const1-
tute public opinion, must swamp Congress
with demands that it quit talking and
act. But until America stops building
great battleships and great armies for
human destruction, education might aS
well pass into oblivion"
DR.. Charles H. Judd of the University
Of Chicago addressed a large audience
at the Meridian Street NJ. e. Church, on
school Studies and the American
School Curriculum"
1.-THE American school curriculum
should be made more than a mere morgue
Of data. 1t must be used to develop citi-
zenship, to extend charity, to plant fore
sight and to build up a definite under
standing Of our economic responsibilities
to civilization" the speaker said.
Arithmetic is more than science that
deals with figures. We must make the
