1t is thought probable that the
blockade runners" have also trans
ferred their illegal cargoes to vessels
bearing authoritative clearance pap
ers. This, the officers Say, would ac-
count for the strange actions of the
mystery ship" Their explanation is
this:
'The captain of the liquor-laden
vessel is instructed to meet another
vessel, bound for an American port,
at given point along the coast and
transfer his liquor, which can then be
landed with legitimate cargo. When
the runner reaches the rendezvous

They came from about 1000 trees

peach ever shipped to- the northern
markets. From other sections of the
South peaches are shipped in refrig-
orator cars, making shipping ex-
penses very high. These peaches were
shipped in open cars and reached the
market in better condition than those
from other sections in refrigerator
cars. They quickly became knowns as
the best favored peach in the world.
There is no wonder that McBee
people have already contracted for
$4,000 new peach trees. McBee peo-
pie have found something better than
"a gold mine and they are working it.

grasped is knocking at the door of

every farmer in Chesterfield county.
The soil and climate of this whole
section will produce the best peaches
In the world. AS to the possibility
OF an over supply, there are 80 per
cent. less peach trees in the country
today than five years ago.
With prope cooperative market
ing methods peaches will never sell
for less than this years shipment
brought.
Quite number of our farmers. ac>
companied by County Agent w. J.
Tlller, attended the big peach con-
ference in Hamlet this week. Every
farmer alive to his opportunities
should have been there.
Whatever other sections may do
with peaches, it is believed that these
sand hills, now known as Carolina
Fruit Hills, will have a market all its
own because of the superior product.
1t is to be hoped that all our farm
ers will look into this matter very
thoroughly. 1t is confidently believ-
ed that peaches and diversified farm
ing will pave the way to permanent
prosperity.

official Of the State or County who is not

If the bonds are voted and sold, the

Do not take my word for this, but read
the Act.
In casting your vote, do not be in

WHISKEY is BLAMED
FOR MYSTERY SHIPS

Pirate yarns and reports of mystic
rious ships seen lurking along the
trade lanes North Atlantic trade
may be explained by the discovery of
blockade runners" that have been
landing cargoes of contra band liqu-
or on the Jersey coast, in the opinion
of revenue agents.
In maritime circles stories have
been told of strange vessels approach
ing merchantmen on the open sea, as
though prepared to attack, and then
dashing off into the darkness with
out observing the invioliable style of
answering code signals. 1t was even
suggested that these pirates-like craft
might be able to explain the disap-
pearance of certain vessels.
What revenue agents believe to be
the explanation of such unusual ac-
tions on the high seas was brought
about through the seizure of whiskey
valued at $4,000 which is said to
have been landed along a cove near
Wildwood, N. j., from an alleged
mystery SNIP.
Several days before the liquor was
discovered and confiscated, an un-
identified steamer was seen moving
out of three-mile limit of Wildwood
Revenue officers were seen 70 watch
it. The vessel disappeared but not be-
fore, officials think it had discharged
a cargo of whiskey.
On Tremendous Scale
Prohibition officers declare they are
confident smuggling of intoxicants
on this coast is being conducted on
tremendous scale. Cargoes worth
vast fortunes are believed to have
been brought from foreign countries,

STATE NEWS

Steps to coordinate the efforts of
North and South Carolina officials in
placing the Greenville-H e-Hendersonville
highway, by wav of Saluda in good
condition were taken at Henderson
vile, n. c., when Representative J.
@. Greer and Supervisor H. p Dill of
Greenville appeared before the Hend-
erson county read commission and as
sured that body that Greenville coun-
ty would do its share in improving the
highway on the South Carolina side.
An enthusiastic crowd, consisting
of more than $50 leading farmers
and business men of Marion county
attended the meeting held in the
court house there in the interest of
the Cooperative Cotton rketing as
sociation. Clarence Poe, of Raleigh,
n. c., editor of The Progressive Far
mer, was principal speaker of the oc-
casion No attempt was made to sign
up the cotton growers at the conclu-
sion of the meeting, it being explain
ed that committeeman aided by the
extension force of Clemson college
would begin campaign for members
within the next few days.
DR.. Morse, the veterinarian, says
that he finds comparatively few ma
tive cattlc-whethcr pure bred Jer-
seys, Guernseys, Holsteins or other
pedigree stock, or just common cat
tle-aifected with tuberculosis. The
climate is not conducive to the de-
velopment of bovine tuberculosis, and
there is no reason why the disease
cannot be completely wiped out in
South Carolina. In dairying sections
of the North and Middle West tu-
berculosiS is the curse of the dairy
mans life and causes heavy loss an
nually. For this and many other
substantial reasons South Carolina

The English believe that if the es-
innate of the United Stats govern
ment of a cotton acreage reduction
of 24.4 per cent. and a crop of about
S,4OO,000 bale production in the Sou
thern cotton belt is correct then the
staple will bring a materially in
creased price, but on the other hand,
! should the estimate be erroneous and
/ bumper crop is produced then they
look for 7-cent cotton, said Richard
l. Manning, former Governor of
South Carolina, who has just return
ed from England, where he and Da-
| vid R. Coker, of Hartsville, attended
/ the second world cotton conference
recently held at Liverpool and Man
chester. Mrs. Manning accompanied
Mr.. Manning. To show the trend of
the English business mind, said the
former Governor, British manufac-
turers are now putting in stock of
low priced cotton, evidently in the
blief that there is a hazard of a high
ere priced staple.

RELIEF FROM FINANCIAL
STRAIN IN SIGHT

STRAIN IN SIGHT
Representative w. F. Stevenson
recently sent the following wire from
Washington to The State:
Have seen federal reserve board
and they have instructed the federal
reserve banks in the cotton states to
discount all cotton paper presented
by member banks when paper is Sc
cured by sufficient cotton, and the
board has authorized the banks to
give out public statement to this
effect"
j. Pope Matthews, president of the
Palmetto National bank, when asked
recently, what effect of this action of
the federal reserve board would have
on the financial situation, said: "This
action will tend to stimulate and
support the banks in the cotton belts,
and will tend to allay any panicky
feeling; the knowledge that the fed
eral reserve board is lending it's sup
port in efforts being made to bring
about orderly marketing cannot but
be helpful, and encouraging to all
interests. Such an arrangement as
out lined is now in effect as to Lib
erty bonds"
j. Skottowe Wannamaker of st.
Matthews, president of the American
Cotton Association, when informed of
the message from Representative
Stevenson and asked for a comment
on it's effect, said that it meant the
saving of millions of dollars to the
farmers of the South, as, instead of
selling their cotton for less than
one-third the cost of production, they
will be enabled to hold their cotton
until confidence is restored and the
market opened. Mr.. Wannamaker is
of the opinion that relief from finan-
cial strain in many sections will be
felt as result of the action of the
reserve board and that pressure will
be eased.

Owls and Crows.

Owls are the pet aversion Of crows.
In daylight they heap such complete
vituper9tion upon an owls head, that
the process thus badly reveals to
what vulgar depths at times bird
nature may fall. Grows will hang
about in squads tormenting, scolding,
pitching at the silent owl and then
retreating, for a day at time, never
ceasing their aspersions and denuncf-
ations-but they always act in con-
cert, never alone. At night the role
Of pursuer is changed; the silent,
grim raptOre makes little return by
way of tumult, but the effectiveness
of his retaliation is not open to Ques-
ton.

Wonderful Measurement.

Persons who are devoting them
selves to the science of measuring the
small things of the universe will best
appreciate the achievement credited
to Prof. Petersen of Copenhagen uni

a method by which he can measure the
thousand-milliOnth part of a second.
Physicists can accurately weigh guam
titles as small as the 5OO-thousandth
part of a milligram, of which it takes
2S,35O to balance an ounce, and an in
strument exists by which the 7O-mil-
lionth part of an inch can be meas
ured.

BARRED THE OVERHEAD SIGN
Authorities of City of London Pro-
hbited the Projecting Nuisance
in Eighteenth Century.

Many things to which we are now
so thoroughly accustomed that they
seem natural and obvious took the
world long time to think of, observes
Everyday Science, Numbering the
houses or shops in a street as a means
of identifying them seems very sim
pie device, but nobody thought Of it
until we'll on in the Eighteenth century.
Until then they got on as we'll as
they could with no numbers, and in
London streets, like Cheapside, every
shOpkeeper tried to Guido his rivals
in the size and grandeur Of his sign
board. They projected over the street,
and every now and then fell down and
killed somebody. They creaked and
groaned terribly whenever the wind
blew, and it shows what a nuisance
they were that within q year of house
numbering being introduced signboards
which projected from the walls were
prohibited.
The first London street to be num-
tered in March, 1894, was New Bur-
lington street, and the next Lincoln's
Inn Fields,
