Steam Driven Airships
Invention by English Naval
Officer That Will Function
in Higher Attitudes Than
Heretofore Attainable

London, July 29.-Invention of
a system Of steam propulsion for
airships is claimed by Captain w.
P. Durtnall, who was a British ma
val officer during the war and up
to a year ago staff captain in the
Chief Mechanical and Electrical
Engineers department of the Royal
Air Force 1t is maintained that
the new system will function a.
attitudes hitherto unattainable
with the ordinary type Of internal
combustion engine.
The invention is said to do9away
completely with the ordinary boil
er, the steam being generated by
means Of internal-combustion pow
er or heat energy. The superheated
steam heat energy is supplied to
special steam motors which are re-
versible and can be controlled from
a central control station.
Only heavy oil is used as fuel
and it is claimed that the driving
machinery can be safely placed in
side the frame Of the airship in
stead of in separate gondolas out
side, thus bringing about a great
reduction in air resistance and
reducing the power
required for propulsion. The en-
gines or steam motors, as Cap
tain Burtnall calls tkem, are Of
the double-acting type requiring
no flyWheels.

Mother was baking a birthday

ran laughing, and shouting from the
house, and a, short distance down
the street hoped on the rear of a
wagon Later, they hoped off. The
cousin was first, and reached the
curb. Chester was second, and the
automobile killed him.
Surely that simple narrative will
carry its lesson home, if anything
could. And yet
My boy knew that lesson better,

If the newspapers of South Car
olina are fair index to public
opinion in the state the belief is
strong that lawlessness can be and
will be put on the run if only a de-
termined drive is made against 1t.
The Marion Star is firmly con-
vinced that the two prisoners now
encumbering the Jail and embarras-
sing the officers Of Charleston
could be openly conveyed to the
penitentiary, without any blood
shed" The Star thinks that "al
that it would take would be an arm
ed guard, composed of men who
woulud shoot. and under orders OF
Governor Cooper"
Says the Star: "Mobs are mobs
Just as long as they can rule-but

ed on the bench as special judge,

South Carolina in 1876. ooh, that
another Hampton could now be
found" he exclaims, Ito. rally the
people against crime and disregard
of law God grant that may come
soon."
During the past .two or three
years conditions. il South Carolina
have singularly favored the growth
and spread of lawlessness. The
thoughts Of the people were abb
sorbed in other matters. Now they
begin to see the menace which is
upon them. They are waking up.
Once they are aroused, lawiessness
must END. The officers to whom the
people look to end it will be well
advised to take into account the
change of sentiment which is get

Community Meetings Concluded.

The series Of ,twenty-one COM
munity meetings put on, by Miss
Caro- Truluck and Mr. j. Frank
Williams our county demonstration
agents were satisfactorily conclud-
ed on Wednesday and Thursday,
and much good work has been ac-
complished in stirring up interest in
the future fight against the boil
weevii. The big get together meet
ing at the court house in Sumter
next Monday, August 29th, at
1880 o'clock a. nl., has been well
advertised at number of these
community meetings by E. I. Rear
don by request of Chairman r. 3.
Belser Of the marketing committee
and by Mr.. Williams.
DR.. ". w. Long, director of
farm extension of Clemson College
ard Mr.. T. B. Young, district dem
-onstration county agent, and Mr..
Sims of the live stock division of
Clemson were with the Sumter
party on Wednesday.
A meeting was held at Concord
school Non Wednesday, and on
Thursday we'll attended meetings
were. held at Hagood, Stateburg
No. 10, and General Sumter Memo
rial schools, at which Miss Truluck
and Mr.. William made very in
teresting talks about what is best
to. do:on the. farms during the next
few years. Mr. Williams and Miss
Truluck have undoubtedly caught
the interest of many hundreds Of
the men, women, boys and girls Of
the rural districts by their COM
munity meetings in the solving of
future agricultural problems, and
they have paved the way for the
future community cooperation and
county wide organization being at
tempted by the Sumter: Chamber
Of Commerce and the Young
Mems Business League Of Sumter.
It has been demonstrated by these
meetings that the farmers and
their wives are very much exercis-
ed over boil weevil devastation and
the quickest methods OF, overcom-
ing adversely caused by this pest.
Every section of Sumter county
was visited and in every section the
reports from every farmer talked
with were that. the boil weevil has
practically cleaned up the cotton
crop in some sections and that
there will not be more than an av-
erage of 40 per cent. Of what
should be made and in many in
stances the weevil has taken 70
per cent of the cotton crop. :
The people of the rural districts
are ready-to be organized, and it is
now. up to the bankers and mer-
chants and other business men to
take the lead and complete the
splendid preliminary work OF or
ganization started by Miss Fruluek
and Mr., Williams and those who
assisted them.

American Troops
May Be Withdrawn
Believed That Soldiers Will
Be Brought From Germany

Washington, Aug. 266-Intima-
tions were given in high official
quarters today that withdrawal OF
the American troops from the
Rhine will BE seriously considered
as soon as the peace treaty sign
ed yesterday in Berlin has been
ratified by the senate and the Ger
man reichstas. No definite predic-
ton was ma. e but it became known
that once peace actually was estab-
lished the administrator would feel
there would be no necessity Of bur-
dening Germany with the support
Of an army Of occupation.
Under the new treaty Germany
agrees to perpetuate the promise
she made ln the treaty of Versailles
to pay the expense Of occupation,
but there IS no direct mention Of
the subject which, it is understood,
could be interpreted as in any way
affecting the present situation or
binding the United States either to
remain or withdraw
lle Si ScllllCS SSLicHl@ ll-SSo
Is years as ehe maximum period Of
occupation. So far as is known
there was no consideration of the
subject in the negotiations leading
up to the present treaty, and Off
cials take the view here that the
decision lies wholly with those IA
voring an early Withdrawals how
ever, that maintenance Of the fore
es Of occupation might impose such
financial burden on Germany as
to delay materially her payment Of
reparations.
Last available figures place the
number Of American troops in the
army of occupation at $4,000,
whose cost Of maintenance is near
~ a million dollars month. Only
small part of the maintenance
bill has b en- met by the German
government t ''s far, upwards of
$3.50, ,O00,00G beng due and unpaid
to the United States on account of
occupation.
Despite the predispos;tion of the
adnoinistra zion to disengage Amer
lean relations from any unneces-
sary entanglements in Europe,
many questions will enter into con-
sideration of the question Of troops
withdrawal Problems growing out
of the occupation already have led
to disagreements among the Euro
pean allies. and it is the manifest
hope of American officials to avoid
offense to any Of them in the course
it adopts.
It is considered unlikely that
there will be, a definite decision
pending ratification of the treaty by
the senate and by the reichstag,
both OF. which are expected to be-
gin consideration of the pact later
next month. Meantime, however,
officials OF the state and war de-
partmert will make a detailed
investigation of cocnditions in
Germany and in the occu-
pied territory for the guidance of
President Harding and his advisers.

SEARCH AND SEIZURE

The Eighteenth Amendment
seems to have been coming into
conflict lately with the Fourth. At
least, the practical Interpretation
put upon the Eighteenth by prohi-
bition agents has led, to conflict
There has been a great deal Of
searching Of private houses with
out warrants. This, objecting citi-
zens have maintained, is in disre-
gard of one OF the Oldest and most
fundamental guarantees Of liberty,
adopted $50 years ago, which
reads:
sFhe right of the people to be
secure in their persons. houses, pa
pers and effects, against unreason-
able Searches and seizures, shall
not be violated, and no warrants
shall issue but upon probable cause,
supported by oath or affirmation,
and particularly describing the
place to be searched and the per-
sons or things to be seized"
Strenuous representations as to
the sanctity of this right, even in
the case of LIQUOR, are said to have
been strong factor in persuading
the Houuse of representatives to
permit homebrewing as long as the
liquor is not intended 'for SALE y
When there are sales, it is usually
possible to get enough evidence to
bolster up a searcch warrant.
When there are no sales, it is in
