STRONG, GHOSTS
MOVE FURNITURE

! Atlanta, Ga, March 15.-Follov-
ing ghostly directions of the Widow
Byrd, who died three months ago,
Mrs. Bethel Walraven found SIS in a
Bible that was hidden behind other
books or the shelf. Now the ghost
demands that Mrs. Walraven look in
a trunk in the attic of the home and
she will find several thousand dol
lars. But the family and the neigh
bors have been reduced to such a
state of terror by the spirit manifes-
tations no one has had courage to
open the trunk. The scene of the
mystery is the village of Bolton, near
Atlanta.
Monday the Walraven family
moved into the little cottage where
the Widow Byrd lived a miser and
died without revealing the hiding
place of her money. Tuesday morn
ing, just before daylight, Mrs. Wal
raven was awakened by the touch of
a clammy hand on her shoulder and
the bent form of the Widow Byrd
stood by her bed. A cracked voice
commanded her to look for the
money.
She thought it was a dream, but
several hours later she found the
Bible, where she was told it would
be hidden, and between its leaves
was the SIS bill. Again the next
morning just before dawn the
Widow Byrd appeared and told her
of the horde concealed in the old
trunk upstairs.
Mrs. Walraven is alone each MORN
ing because her husband leaves for
work before daylight. Since then he
has been remaining at home until
the sun is shining and the ghost has
not been visible. But it has been
herad and its power has been shown.
Thursday evening while the Wal
ravens were eating supper, the table
raised itself from the floor, and with
all his strength Mr.. Walraven could

Hawaii Led in Prohibition.

Historians of the Hawaiian islands
assert that an Hawaiian monarchy
was the first government in the world
to put absolute prohibition into effect.
Kamehameha the Great, first king of
United Hawaii, in 1895, after having
conquered all the other islands, issued
an edict imposing prohibition. It's pen
alties were drastic. An offender was
stripped of his property, real and per-
sonal, and was driven from his village
clad only in loin cloth.
In later years foreign nations forced
liquor on the Hawaiians and it's sale
was general in the islands until tn:
great war, when. with the opening ct
the army training camps on the Is
lands prohibition went into effect.

GLEN SPRINGS IN HISTORY

In his account of Spartanburg pub
ished in The News and Courier Of
Charleston in 1890 by "Ed" McKis-
sick, he quoted from history of
Glenn Springs written by Mrs. Ce-
lima E. Means, a brilliant and fasci-
mating teller of interesting stories,
and we reproduce here this choice
excerpt:
"This section then belonged to
North Carolina, and was in Mecklen-
burg County. For many years after
the State lines were established it
was known as the "New Acquisi-
tion." We find it constantly so call
ed in the Documentary History of
the Revolution. The curative quail
ties of the spot (the quagmire
which originally covered the site of
Glenn Springs) were revealed by a
commonplace accident. During the
Revolutionary War;, from the un-
avoidable filth of camp life, scab-
bles, or as it is vulgarly termed "the
itch,' was the plague of the rank
and file of the American Army. At
ter the war the irritating disease
stuck closer than a brother and re-
turning soldiers infected their fami-
lies. A man living in the neighbor-
hood of the Sulphur Swamp with a
round dozen 'quivers in his bow
had every one broken out with scab-
bies. One day the cows did not come
at milking time. One of the boys of
this family, going out to look them
up, found them in the quagmire.. In
getting them out, he fell in, and
came home covered up to the neck
with the black, ill-smelling mud. It
was a lucky souse, for in few days
he found himself entirely well of
the hateful itch. h."-Spartanburg

NEW PLANS MADE
IN IMMIGRATION
Flood Will Be Diverted to Country.
Many Small Farms

Washington, March 14.-Plans to
divert immigrants from the cities
and industrial centers and to coordi-
nate agencies of the departments Of
interior, agriculture and labor to
Mace the new comers on small
farms were announced today by ".
W. Husband, commissioner general
of immigration. Mr.. Husband, who
succeeded Anthony J. Caminetti,
was sworn in today.
The new commissioner general
made public plan approved by Sec
retary Davis which he declared
would help solve the immigration
problem and at the same time cor
rect the economic situation arising
from the flow of population to the
larger cities.
"There is land enough in this
country for millions of small FARMS
Commissioner Husband said.
"Our plan is not to replace Amer
lean farmers with foreigners but to
create new farms and make new far
mers, thereby increasing the re-
sources of the nation. Our immdgra-
ton problem is largely problem Of
distribution of the immigrants.
"The majority of our immigrants
are peasants, and essentially farm
ers.
"Our plan is not to scatter these
people out in sparsely settled Sec
tons and put them up against the
problems that our pioneers went
through. Neither do we plan to start
forgeign settlements or communl-
ties in the strict sense of the term,
but we plan to group them, some
what or the European village plan
and offer them the advantages Of ex-
pert agricultural and home demon
stration instruction through the de-
partment of agriculture and to aid
them in taking advantage of the
farm loan act.
"By handling the immigration
problem in this manner we will do
away with the cred" danger. The
farm, with the advantages we can
offer, will be the best sort of an Am
ericanization school,"
