DIAL NOT PERTURBED.
Speech by Judge Lands on Bonus Not
Important.

Washington, July 22.-Judge K. NJ.
Lands is safe from impeachment for
his speech to Fort Sheridan soldiers
on the bonus bill so far as Senator
Dial of South Carolina is concerned.
Senator Dial said today he couldn' t
see any reason for impeaching Lands
because the latter told the veterans
'"the whole bunch at Washington
ought to be fired for not passing the
bonus bill.
Lands also expressed the view he
might be impeaceh for the speech.
Senator Dial is anti-bonus and is
also author of bill to remove from
the federal bench any judge who, like
Lands, takes an outside job similar
to the latter's place at the head of or
ganized ball. Senator Dial, though
not out to impeach. Lands for the
speech, gave notice he is going to call
his bill up in the senate soon and
push it to passage if possible.

Death to Boil Weeuils By
Mollasses Poison Method
WEEVIL WORSE THAN EVER.
Cotton Crop of South is in Seriou:
Danger at This Time.

Memphis, Tenn, July 23.-Hot.
dry weather this month and August
is necessary to save the South's cot
ton crop.
This is the concensus of opinion
among the agricultural extension
es of the cotton belt.
The boil weevil is damaging
thousands of acres. Agricultural eX-
perts of the Mississippi delta predict
destruction of the crop in many Sec
tions if damp, cool weather should
develop in the next two months.
The weevil multiplies rapidly and
spreads over vast territory in cool,
damp weather. Hot, dry weather re-
tards the weevil's progress and de-
stroys the young.
The weevil is now worse than ever
before in history, says DR.. E. R..
LLOYD, director of the Memphis Farm
Bureau, who has just completed a
forces of the cotton belt.
DR.. Lloyd found the cotton crop
three to FIVE weeks late in some To-
calities.
In sections of Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Tennessee and Alabama hundreds
of acres of cotton are being ploWed
I'D by the farmers and fall seed plant
ed.
. These farmers have been advised
to take such action by the agricultural
extension forces of the various states,
due to the small stand of cotton.
Southern farm life today is far diff
ferent from one year ago. Last year
lotion prices were good, but many
farmers held their crops for higher
prices. Today barns shelter hundreds
of bales that last year would have
brought 40 to so cents pound, but
today could not be sold for Is cents.
This years cotton crop will be the
cheapest raised in history. The coun-
try schools were closed early so the
children might enter the fields. There
is plenty of labor at 81 per day COM
pared with SO per day last year.

JAIL DELIVERY is ATTEMPTED
Two Keepers at Greenville Thwart
Plan of 20 Negroes.

Greenville, July 22.-An organized
attempt of twenty negroes to effect a
general Jail delivery was thwarted at
the Greenville county Jail this morn
ing. When Keepers Batson and Black
stepped inside the door Of the ward
where the negro men are kept they
were attacked by two negroes, who
jumped from their cells just as the
keepers unlocked the door. Keeper
Batson floored the negro who attack
ed him with blow to the stomach
and Keeper Black managed to push
the negro who attacked him back to
his cell door and to hold him there
while Keeper Batson locked the door.
In the meantime Jailer Christopher,
who was armed, arrived on the scene
and the attempted delivery was put
down.

Income Tax Reports.

Washington, July 24.-D. H. Blair
commissioner of international reve-
nue., reports today a collection IN
1920 of 1919 income taxes amounting
to s1.269,63O,104. Of that amount
South Carolina paid s5,192,020.41. l.
Thirty-seven thousand two hundred
and ninety-six South Carolinians or
.21 per cent. of the population OF
South Carolina with incomes amount
ing to S142.6SS,S32 paid the taxes.
Based on these figures the per
capita income in South Carolina was
sS4.75. The average net income per
return was s3,S25.S5. The average
tax per return was s139.21.
II 1916 only 1904 South Carolin-
ians made income returns. The num-
ber. however the following year
Jumped to more than $4,000. Now it
is nearly 10000. In 1916 South Caro-
linians paid income taxes amounting
to $1,000. The amount now is in
excess of s5,000,00o.

FANS SEEK UNIPIRES.
Baseball Followers Wait at Gate and
Then Search in Vain.

Winston-Salem, n. c., July %
About 200 fans dissatisfied with de-
cisions by Umpire Dick Monahan,
especially his removal from the field
of E. Padgett, local shortstop, gath
cred about the gate this afternoon
after the game between Winston
Salem and Durham had ended, and
there awaited the appearance of
Monohan and the other umpire, Tom
Clark. When the umpires failed to
show up, the crowd searched every
available spot, even invading the
players dressing room. President
E. K, Shore, of the local club, tele-
phoned to police headquarters and a
force of patrolmen was sent out
hurriedly to reinforce the three or
four officers already on the grounds.
From their place of refuge under the
grandstand, the umpires were spir-
tied away by the police through the
centerfield gate, while the angry fans
we're hunting high and low around
the main buildings. Monohan and
Clark were conducted to their hotel
in safety.

Growers Urged To Hold Their
Tobacco for Higher Prices
RIGHT TO REGULATE RATES.
Judge Smith Upholds Railroad Com.
missions Jurisdiction Over Phones.

Columbia. July 22.-Holding that
the state railroad commission has the
right to regulate the service and
rates of public service corporations
coming under its Jurisdiction. Judge
Henry A. NJ. Smith, of Charleston,
Judge of the United States Court Of
the Eastern District of South Caro-
lima, has dismissed the appeal of SEN
ator Frank A. Miller, of Darlington
county, asking that the recent in
crease in telephone rates at Hartsyille
by the commission be reversed
A copy of the opinion was filed with
the commission today. The complaint
Of Senator Miller stated that a con-
tract was entered into between the
town of Hartsville and the Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany when the lines of the corpora
tion entered the municipality in 9 6.
covering the scale of rates and that
the railroad commission had no au-
thority to abrogate this contract.
The decision of Judge Smith holds
that if there were a suit between the
town and the telephone company at
the time the contract was entered
into, the court would be bound to hold
that the company should perform the
service and maintain the rates speci-
fed in the contract, but that where
the state had created commission to
protect the public interest the con-
tract was subject to the right of the
government in the exercise of it's reg
ulative powers.
1t is believed that the decision will
cause the cessation of the efforts of
the South Carolina Telephone Sub
scribers' Association to bring the re-
cent telephone rate increase ali over
the state to the attention of the courts
as the underlying idea of the effort
was to contest the jurisdiction of the
State Railroad Commission in pro-
mitigating the new rates.

What Makes Prices.

The experience of the public in the
past year should have taught it, If it
has not done so, that the chief infiu-
ence in determining prices is buying
power. Combinations of producers
representing either management or
employees may hold prices up for a
time, but, as goods are made to sell,
the willingness or ability of the buyer
to pay will tell in the long run.
Wages are coming down, not be-
cause, as certain agitators claim,
there is a conspiracy of employers to
reduce them. Few employers would
object to continued payment of high
wages if market conditions and the
efficiency of labor would permit it.
They cannot, however, keep up the
extreme rates of the past few years,
because business and profits have Sc
riously declined. They must either
lessen the pay of their helpers, cur
tail operations or shut down alto
gether.
Production costs, both the wages OF
industrial labor and the profits OF
MANAGEMENT, must be cut. The world
has not the buying power to pay eth
er the wages or the profits on the
scale that has been in vogue. Where
labor insists on it's present wage rates
if will suffer through unemployment.
Where prices are being held up the
products will find stagnant market.

PROF. A. c. MOORE MAKES IN
TERESTING EXPERIMENT.
MAKES FURTHE RTEST.
Results, However, in Preliminary In
vestigation Warrant Optimis-
tic View of Outcome.

From time to time l have noted
accounts of poisoning the boil wee
vii by the use of mixture of cal
cium arsenate with blackstrap mo-
lasses. knowing the general unre-
liability of the observations and con-
clusions of those who have had no
training in scientific experimentation,
I have placed little faith In these
reports. However, to satisfy a nat
ural curiosity and perchance to add
to our too meager knowledge of the
boil weevil, l have just completed
a preliminary experiment, which is
striking in it's results, so much so
that l hasten to report on it with
the hope that it may even this late
day enable farmers to check to some
extent the ravages of the boil wee
vii this season.
The experiment was conducted as
follows: Under each of four large
glass jars a stalk of cotton was
placed. The jars were numbered
/, 2, 8, and 4. Into each three live
and active boil weevils were intro
duced. The latter promptly entered
the squares and fed freely upon
them. A few drops of poisoned mo-
1asses were then placed upon the
leaves upon the plants in /, and 3.
AS a check, the plant in jar No. 4
was left without poison.
The next morning one weevil in jar
No. / was dead and two in jar No. 2
During the several following days
others died, until on the fifth day all
three weevils in each of the three
poisoned jars were dead. OF the
three weevils placed in the unpoison-
ed lar one was we'll and active, one
was accidentally crushed in removing
the jar, and the third could not be
found. The observed facts, therefore,
are that in each of the poisoned Jars
all the weevlls were found dead,
while none in the imprisoned jar
deid a natural death.
TO make sure of the cause of DEATH
DR.. G. F. Lipscomb Of the department
of chemistry made a chemical analy-
sis of the bodies of the dead Weevlls
and found that they containedarsenic.
1t would therefore, seem positively
certain that the boil weevils did tnd
and eat the poisoned molasses.
am getting up second expert
ment to test the matter. more thor
oughly, and I believe the results so
far obtained justify their pu0llca-
tion at once.

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN!
Jup. Pluvius Has Raised the Flood.
gates During Past Month.

The old adage that when the moon
has its corner turned upward it is
pouring out rain is all wrong. Be-
cause the moon has no corners at the
present writing and the rain pours.
Tuesday of last week was the full
of the moon,' and weather prognos-
ticators risked the prediction that
this marked a change of weather. The
forecasters qualified their prediction
by saying that if there was no change
in the next day or SO, on account OF
the full moon, then the rain will con-
tinue. They do not say how long,
but this is probably due to modesty,
and their inference was that it would
last another month. The Herald de-
clares most solemnly it is not pre-
; 'dicting another month Of rain. We
merely tell what others say-or rath-
er think without saying. The Herald
is no foreteller of weather conditions;
if it were it would predict that the
rainy season is near it's end for tie
present. We would make this pre-
diction because it believes it has rain
ed enough to last while and for the
further reason that it is most de-
cidedly more popular to make such
a forecast.
However be that, be it said that
Jupiter Pluvius is strictly on his job.
If he is the god of rain, and Greek
mythology credits him with that dis
tinction, he has perhaps arrived at
the conclusion that Bamberg county
has had too much drought. J. Pluv-
ius is not we'll posted on Bamberg
though in respect to drought, if that
is the way he looks at it, at least not
the drought most often referred to,
for, be it said frankly, the county
has been moist" throughout the past
months with aqua vitae if not with
plain rain water.
The foregoing brings us down to
the statement that rain has descended
on Bamberg county for the past four
weeks in torrents of more or less in
tensity, mostly more. Someone who
keeps tab on such things tells US that
up to Monday it had rained either in
Bamberg or few miles around every
day for 80 days and as it rained Mon
day, we can add another day to the
record. And it rained, not merely
drizzled.
Five weeks ago the planters were
distressed because the hot dry days
promised much damage to the cotton
and tobacco crops. Now the reverse
is true. Cotton took on wonderful
growth during the wet weather, but
is now suffering from too much Wa
ter. Tobacco likewise came out en-
couragingly, but now it has too much
sap, say the planters There do not
appear to be nearly so many weeviis
in existence as was expected. The dry
hot days preceding the rainy season
evidently thinned out the ranks of
the weevil appreciably. However,
there is plenty of time for the damage
yet.
An, encoura ging thing about the
rain is that it has made fine corn
crop, apparently. Most farmers say
they have splendid fields of corn. To-
bacco curing has been interfered
with considerably because of the
rains, and in some places cotton has
been "drowned,' and it is quite evil
dent that the cotton crop has seri-
ously deterriorated in the past few
weeks.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

The Herald has made this
statement before and We now
wish to repeat it: The Her.
aid does not consider itself un-
der obligations to print publici-
ty matter for any organization
that elects to carry its paid
matter elsewhere. There is
nothing narrow minded about
this; it is nothing but simple
justice. The Herald rather feels
that if the columns are useful
for promotion purposes, the Of
fee should likewise receive
whatever paid patronage there
may be. If The Herald cannot
command the appreciation of its
friends to this extent, it feels
that it's services in affording
publicity are not worth mucn
and may as we'll be dispensed
with. 1t costs money, and a
great deal of it, to give space
to the. publicity of the
various organizations of the
town. but it is a service we
are glad to render. In return
we ask no pay; but we do not
think it is unreasonable to ex-
pect whatever profit there may
be in printing and advertising.
Anyway, it is nothing but right
that the fellow who does the
paid work should do the free
work. Publicity writer's should
bear this in mind.

HOW YOU CAN EASILY
IND The SIZE OF A
TINY DROP OF RAIN

Having exercised your powers Of
observation you probably have no
ticed that some drops of rain are
not as large as others The splst-
1ers Of the first few drops on the
sidewalk are proof enough OF this.
But how much larger are the
drops OF one ram than those OF
another How do the drops Of our
most recent rain compare with those
OF the rain We had a year agol
When the next downpour COM
mences, slit about a half an inch OF
flour over the bottom of a cigar
box or plate or saucer. Hold the
plate out Of a window for a minute
or so till a few raindrops-Just
very few-have fallen into the flour.
Set the plate near a radiator. The
heat will soon dry the moisture IN
the -four and wherever a raindrop
fell there will be a small, hard pei
let Of dough, exactly. or nearly ex-
actly, the size OF the original drop
OF rain. Handle these pellets care
fully for they are easily crushed.
Ny collection Of raindrop pellets
dates back about six months. l
have labelled each set with the date
on which il was taken, the time
Il took for the rain 10 pass and
other interesting data, and I find il
quite entertaining to make COMPARE
sons.
