almost every episode of her husba nd's
life, heard the shot and rushed to
him. He died Instantly.
Mrs. Cudahy, FRUSTRATED by the
shock, is unable to give any expiana-
ton of the deed. No note brother
evidence to reveal the motive for
suicide has been found.
REFUSED $1,000 LOAN.
What authorities believe was a con-
tributory cause of the suicide was
revealed last night through a letter
found alongside the body. 1t was
from the Northern Trust Company of
Illinois rejecting an application Mr..
Cudahy had made for $4,000 loan.
The letter explained that IL his
sister, Clara. of Santa Barbara. would
consent, the loan might be negotiat-
ed. A telegram from Clara, dated
this morning, was found saying she
was sorry. but could not do what
he asked"

second floor of his -pafatiaI residence
on Hollywood boulevard. seated him
self-in a chair and blew the top of his
head off with a shotgun, apparently
pulling the trigger with his toes.

Sand Lugs Not Wanted

Az result of a recent discussion
with q number Of authorities on to-
oaocc IN regard to market demands
this summer in South Carolina, we
.reel at our duty to impress upon YOU
at this time two points:
First: 1t will be a useless waste of
time and money to harvest the lower
plant bed" leaves or inferior "lugs. 4"
III course this does not mean that
none OF the lower leaves are desirable
but the cheap trashy leaves and such
keayes as become burnt would best
DC left in the field for manure. as we
can not hope for them to bring cost
ol curing and handling. Some think
that such grades will not even get a
bid" on the warehouse floor. About
this we do not know, but We do know
that such goods. if sold, will only
stand out statistically against the far
mer and make prices lower next sea-
son.
Second: We get from good sources
that this year it will be absolutely
necessary for the farmer to Let his
tobacco get riye before gathering.
The green grades which have been
selling well in the past are apt to be
n drag on the market. These grades
-~%@'S USCA SAPOh ICo III TIC past Oul
the foreign market is in such shape
that you can not depend on it. If
the hands or troopers" pull some
leaves. Gull them out from the curing
before marketing. At the end of the
season, after having had them bulked
down, market these green leaves from
ali your curings.
This information is being distribut-
ed at the request of the South Caro-
lima Tobacco Association which is
composed of farmers, bankers. mer-
chants, warehousemen, and buyers
and others, and as our mailing list is
not as full as We should like we want
no ask every one who gets this letter
To try to do all he can to pass on this
Information as We feel 1t will mean
thousands of dollars saved 10 the
state if complied with. The bankers,
merchants and warehousesmen can
especially be of great service in en-
phaszing the Importance of this ad-
vice. Bear in mind that the small
tenant farmer is the one who most
needs this message so try to help us
10 get 1t to him. The newspapers of
course will be our most effective
means of impressing these points.
Yours for a successful marketing

GEORGIA PEACHES
MOVING FAST.
Fifteen Train Crews Called Into Ser
vice to Handle the Business.

Florence Times.
1t was learned today that fifteen
railroad train crews which have been
on the extra board" for some time
nave been called into active and
regular service with the Atlantic
Coast Line within the past few days.
This increased activity IN railroad
lines is said to be due to the tremen-
dous movement of peaches from Geor-
giia to Northern markets. This busi-
ness is of course not expected to con-
unue for many days as it is necessary
10 move the crop to the market with
III the shortest possible space of time
In order to receive the top of the mar
ket and to prevent spoilage also. Yes
terday over a hundred car loads of
peaches from the Georgia orchards
passed through Florence and today
there were just as many if not more
The Atlantic Coast Line having an
almost direct line north from the
Southern states always receives the
largest portion of what is known as
"perishable" business. Railroad men
are delighted with the increase in
business and are hoping that it will
continue.

Horny Herald.
Often you will see a man working
himself almost to death and ap-
parently he will be enjoying it every
minute Of the time; while in other
cases there is no visible evidence of
enjoyment but the work goes ahead
with never ending regularity as in
the other case. Yet it might sur
prise you to know how bad both of
these men hate to do il. This state
ment brings us to the point we had
In mind, which is that some men
have the will power and energy and
to do something, so
that their lives shall not be lived in
vain. even in the presence of an in
nate laZiness and dread, amounting
almost to abhorrence of all forms
of work and labor.
Such men are not few. They are
young and some are old. No mat
ter, however, whether young or old
large or small, handsome or ugly,
they are each and all the kind of man
who will stuck to duty regardless of
any personal feeling and they are pre-
pared to tackle the most fearsome
in order to accomplish their
ends.
On the other hand we find the
men who lack that something which
impels to accomplishment. Whether
they were born short or lost it af-
forwards by environment or man
ner of training We are unable to
say. Such as these exist. They are
more numerous than the other kind
They appear hale and hearty at all
times. They will meet you with
joke and they are good at repartee.
AS to doing anything, they never
did and never will They have moth
ing to say against hard work as
good thing. Often they appear, from
their talk to know more about it than
the man who actually does it. Right
here is something that it is hard to
understand. This difference in men.
We have thought it over and given
1t up as hard job.

Blossom End Rot of Tomatoes.

Clemson College, July - The
plant pathoiosist and horticulturists
OF the Experiment Station have re-
'aceived recently many inquiries re-
yarding the cause and proper treat
ment OF tomato blossom-end rot, a
non-parasitic or physiological disease,
OF which dry weather is the cause or
at least an aggravatinig circumstan-
ce.
In dry seasons tomatoes from the
half grown to the r1pening stage are
likely to be affected with a dry
black rot at the blossom end, says
C. A. Ludwig, associate professor of
plant pathology, and this disease is
likely to do much damage as long
as 1T continues dry In normally moist
seasons there Is little or no trouble
usually from blossom-end rot.
The only remedy is water. In a
garden where water can be applied
easily. the benefit to the crop will
usually make the application we'll
worth while, but where tomatoes ere
grown on commercial scale this
remedy is not usually practicable, as
dew truckers are equipped to irrigate.
About the only thing to do for the
disease where irrigation is not prac-
ticable Is to keep the plants well cul-
-fivated and to hope for rain.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture,
white 1T will do no injury and will
help against leaf-blight, which may
appear later cannot be expected to
control blossom-end rot.

but few of us get so hard press
ed as the editor of the Willar, New

He writes:
1T is easy to write news when

and the cats agree, and the roosters
won't crow, and the women refuse to
talk about each other, and the old

write something breezy, anyhow, and
we are certainly in the middle of "a
bad fix. The shows have come and
gone, and the big trading days are
things of the past. The sun shines
part of the time and the wind blows
most of the time. Spring is due yet
winters fingers, and We are in a
rather doubtful mood as to whether
we should buy more coal and more
heavyweight clothes or try to shiver

TRAINING WAITS OF CAIRO
Government of Egyptian City Has in- stituted School Where Stray Boys
 Will Be Educated.

It looks as if the problem of the Waifs and strays of Cairo was going to receive at last serious attention.
 After much insistence on the part of some public-spirited officials spe- cial school for boys of this class has been opened in the envirOns of Cairo, where they will be looked after and trained by the government without lhelr having committed some crime to admit them into the reformatory, pre- Vlously the only institution of the kind.
 Nothing so far has been done for the girl children, though another home is promised for this purpose. It is there- fore satisfactory to hear of the forma- tion of an organization called the "Brotherhood Federation" ostensibly nonsectarian and international, with the object of looking after and im- proving the lot of the child waifs gen. orally.
 meeting recently held in support of this movement was given much prominence in the local English papers, but in spite of its intimate bearing on a purely Egyptian problem none of the Arabic papers appears to have given the matter any publicity.-Christian Science Monitor.

H. M. Cottrell is urging the Ark ansas farmers to make the hay crop big one. No one will dispute the soundness of this advice. It is yet possible to make this crop the largest on record We believe this to be the policy of the great mass Of our local farmers. A great feed crop this year will lay the foundation for a genuine prosperity. Were the farmers to ever think of going back to the old plan of buying hay from other sections they could not hope to buy it at a low price regardless of it's low first cost on ac- count of the present high freight rate IL is a well known fact that in the past large part or the rarm credits have been created on this item of buy ing feed.

Thirty years ago the men of Hart shay, hamlet of Derbyshire, England, were accustomed to meet at a bridge on the edge of the town, where they would read the papers and discuss events. This was all right in summer time, but in the winter 1t was differ- ent and they would occasionally ad- journ to sheltered spot under the bridge. From this they moved into 6 vacated pigsty and later annexed an- other pigsty. This rude building was improved by their own efforts until it was fairly comfortable place.
