RADIUM FOR CANCER.
Reports Show That Treatment Is
Making Better Progress.

Stimulated by the recent visit to
the United States of Nine. Curle, It's
discoverer, scientists in this country
are making new progress in treating
cancer with radium accoding to K. II.
Moore. chief chemist of the U. S. Bu-
reau of Mines.
The highly scientific treatment OF
disease by the use of radium, hoWeV-
er, Mr.. Moore says, is successful only
when applied with the greatest skill.
"All cancer cannot be so cured, and
it requires a skilled surgeon who
thoroughly understands the proper
dosage in order to get favorable re-
SUITS" Mr.. Moore states.
AT the present time the United
States produces more radium than all
the rest of the world together.
"From the beginning Of the indus
try in 1913 to January, 1921, ap-
proximately 115 grams Of radium ele-
ment have been produced in this
country. Probably not more than 4o
grams have been recovered from the
foreign ores since the discovery OF
radium by Nine. Curie.
Mr.. Moore said that most OF the do-
mestic production Of radium is from
mines in Colorado.

LANES DESTROY MUCH COTTON.
Six Hundred Bales Burned in ST.
George Warehouse.

St. George, Oct. 2.-The largest
cotton warehouse located here was
completely destroyed by fire Friday
night about 9 o'clock. The origin
Of the fire is unknown, but wnen
discovered the entire building was
enveloped in flames. There were
over 600 bales of cotton lost by
the fire. The warehouse was located
between the Gulf Refining Oil station
and the Bryant & Sons oil station
and at one time it was feared that
these would catch and do consider
able damage, but by the good work
of volunteer fire fighters the build
ing and tanks were saved. The heavy
rain several hours before the fire no
doubt saved nearby buildings from
catching, as the fire made consider
able sparks from burning cotton.
The largest number of bales were
owned by the three banks. The
warehouse was under state ware
house system and insurance was car
ried by them.

HUSBAND RAN; WIFE STARVED.
Sad Story of Life Told by Agent Who
Has Orphan Child.

Columbia, Sept. 29.-The story of
the death from starvation of a white
woman in one of the counties in the
Southeastern part of the state is de-
scribed by officials of the state child
placing bureau, in describing what is
considered one of the most horrible
deaths the state has ever recorded.
The woman's husband has desert
ed her, and surrounded by her six
small children, the youngest of whom
was eighteen months old, she passed
out, found stretched on the floor by
neighbors, in dying condition.
The husband was a share cropper.
He lost money on his cotton, and
rather than stay and work for his
wife and babies he left home, leaving
his family to fight alone.
The mother was too proud to ac-
cept help from her white neighbors,
according to officials of the child plac-
ing bureau, but did take few crum bs
from the colored people of her COM
munity. But this was not enough to
sustain life, and her life went out
like the light on an oilless lamp.
Miss Claire Kearse, the child plac-
ing agent, returned to Columbia yes
terday, after visiting the motherless
home and burying the body of the
dead woman, and with her she
brought three of the children who are
pitifully emaciated from their battle
against hunger. Miss Kearse is now
seeking homes for these little ones.
One is five, another three and the
smallest eighteen months.
The neighbor who found the moth
er stretched on the floor of the death
house, took care of the babies until
the states agent arrived, and in that
neighborly home the three oldest chill
dren are still cared for.

CUTS HIS WIFE'S THROAT.
Easley Man Uses Razor With Fatal
Result on Spouse.

A shocking crime was committed
at Easley at 1890 o'clock Tuesday
morning, when Ross Powell entered
the spinning room of the Glenwood
cotton mill and without warning drew
a razor and slashed the throat of his
IS year old wife almost severing the
head from the body. Powell then fled
from the mill and made his way to
the city hall, where he surrendered
to the authorities. Fearing violence,
he was then rushed away by the Off
GERS to prevent further trouble. Pow
ell and his wife had been living at
the Brandon mill in Greenville. On
account of domestic troubles she left
him Saturday and returned to her
mothers home here and secured work
in the Glenwood mill. Powell fol-
lowed her this morning. When ask
ed why ne committed the crime Pow
ell stated to officers that when his
wife refused to live with him he de-
cided to kill her and take the conse-
quences. He is 21 years of age. They
had been married two years. Powell
is originally from Anderson and his
wife was a native Of Pickens county.

So-Called "yoint Snake' a
Reality, Says BlackOlle Writer

one hard whack with my stick, and it
flew into three pieces, the places
where it unjointed, looking as smooth
as glass it seemed to me. However,
l was so frightened at such an un-
expected occurrence, my vision may
have been blurred. Our little crowd
scattered far and wide, and having
always had the tradition handed
down to us, that the unjointed Sec
tions had the power to reunite, we
were afraid to venture back, for fear
it would be together again, and prob
ably have given "signal" in "snake
language for it's mate, kindred and
friends to come and help it to "de-
stroy it's enemies" We paid several
visits to Hampton Park after that,
but some how the idea that the ere
united joints of that snake were
lurking around somewhere to attack
me, kept me from enjoying my visits.
So after returning home, I wondered
about the snake good deal, and
wished L knew what became of it,
So it wasn't long before Prof.
Moore's interesting article appeared,
and 1 regretted killing that one in
Hampton Park. Wish so much I
had captured it alive, and carried 1t
to the museum, as curiosity. For
curiosity it was to me, when it so
suddenly "unjointed" when struck
it.
The joint snake is not a snake at
all, but a smooth, legless snake-like
lizard, about two feet long. It is
Immediately distinguished from true
snakes by having eye lids and ex-
ternal ear openings. In common with
many lizards, it can part with its tail,
in an emergency, and grow a new,
but much shorter one afterwards,
giving rise to many erroneous no
tions as to it's being able to reunite
it's separated parts.
The "glass snake it is called in
Winston's Accumulative Encyclope-
dia, and the description is thus:
"a lizard, genus Ophiosaurus, in
form resembling serpent, and
reachinug a length Of three feet.
The joints Of the tail are not con-
nected by caudel muscles, hence it
is extremely brittle and one or more
of the Joints break IF WREN the ami
NAL is even slightly irritased."

Editor The Herald:

Editor The Herald:
Having read so many interesting
"snake stories" in your paper, feel
inspired to relate an experience l had
with a snake. Some time ago-per-
haps last year,-I remember reading
in The State about Prof. A. G.. Moore,
of the department of biology, recently
coming in possession of two "joint
snakes" and his description of this
reptile was especially interesting to
me, owing to the experience 1 had
just before his article appeared. Prof.
Moore also wanted to know where
any more joint snakes are seen, as
they are becoming almost extinct in
South Carolina.
1 was visiting relatives in Charles
ton, last spring one year ago, and my
niece was giving an Easter egg hunt
for her Sunday school class, out at
the famous and beautiful Hampton
Park, and she invited me and my
little boy, to participate in the pleas
ures also. After a pleasant trolley
ride, we reached our destination, and
while the children were playing mer-
rily, my niece and l hid the eggs care
fully around the roots Of the trees,
embedding them in the green grass.
Giving the signal that all was ready
the jolly crowd proceeded to cearch
for eggs, while my niece and I found
US a swing in a sequestered nook,
and seated ourselves to watch the,
happy game. All was going well,
when suddenly we heard the shrek,
"Snake! snake, here's a great big
snake" and then they beat hasty
retreat. Of course I was as fright
ened as they were, but being the
oldest in the crowd, had to assume
a heroic air, and battle with the mon
ster. The first thing to procure was
a weapon of defense and Hampton

POPULATION DECREASES.
Fewer People in Palestine Than in
Time of Christ.

There are now barely 100000 peo-
pie in all Palestine, population much
less than that of Galilee alone in the
time of Christ, says Sir Herbert Sam
uel, the British high commissioner
there, in a report just made public.
Ten thousand immigrants arrived in
Palestine in the seven months be-
tween September, 1920, and May,
1921, he reports.
Sir Samuel attributes the scarcity
of the population to lack of develop
ment.
The official condition of Eastern
and Central Europe, and internal
difficulties within the Zionist organ
ization of the United States, says the
report have prevented the Zionist
movement from providing, as yet, any
large sums for enterprises of develop
ment or colonization. AS conse-
quence, while there has been much
pressure to admit Jewish immigrants,
there had been little expansion in the
opportunities Of employment, he de-
clared.

End MISTRIAL IN GOsNELL CASE.
Pickens Jury Fails to Agree on Yer
dict-To Be Tried Again.

PlckenS, Sept. 3O.-A jury tnat de-
liberated "a hours and 80 minutes
failed here today to agree upon the
innocence or guilt of Jake Gosnell,
charged with the murder of former
Sheriff Hendrix Rector, Of Greenville
county and for the second time the
case resulted in mistrial. Judge
R. Withers Memminger, Of Charles
ton, ordered mistrial in the case at
1855 o'clock this afternoon after
Foreman Bagwell informed him that
an agreement was impossible. On
motion of James J. Carey, Jr., OF
counsel for the defense, bond
fixed at $4,000 by Judge Memminger
was granted to Gosnell and the de-
fendant was released from custody.
Solicitor David w. Smoak said
Immediately after the trial had ended
that Gosnell would be tried again.
He was unable to announce whether
his case would be called Ur not at
the next term of the court Of gen.
eral sessions in Pickens county,
which convenes in February.
Gosnell's bondsmen are: L. c.
Thornley,, w. H. Collins and R. E.
Bruce. Jake Gosnell, federal pro-
hibition enforcement agent, shot and
killed Sheriff Hendrix Rector in
Briscoe's garage in Greenville July
4,1919. His case was called for trial
at the August term of the court of
general sessions in Greenville county
but was transferred to the United
States court upon motion Of the de-
fense. Shortly afterward Judge H.
H. Watkins remanded it to the court
of general sessions and after, being
continued through several terms it
came up for trial in May, 1920, and
resulted in mistrial after the case
had consumed seven days. Gosnell
was released on $4,000 bond at the
conclusion of the trial. On the
ground that Carlos Rector, brother
of Sheriff Hendrix Rector, had been
elected sheriff of the county, defense
counsel requested a change Of venue
and the case was ordered tried in
Pickens county.
In addressing the jury after it came
out to report that agreement was i'm
possible, Judge Meminger declared to
the jurors that they had failed in the
performance of their duty in not
reaching a verdict and also that they
had failed in discharging the obliga-
ton of Pickens county to Greenville
county and the state.

CALLS ON COOPER.
Paper Asking for Clemency for Man
Under Death Sentence.

Stanley Creek, N. c., father of C. O..
Fox, who is under sentence of death
at the state penitentiary for the muir
der of William Brazell, called upon
Governor Cooper at his Office yester-
day morning and presented in person
a letter to the governor in which petit
ton was made for the exercise of
clemency in Fox's case, the prayer
being that the death sentence be COM
muted to life Imprisonment.
The letter set forth that Fox, along
with Kirby and Gappins, was convict
ed September IL of the murder OF
,Brazell, taxi driver, and was sentenc-
ed to die October 21. The question
was raised in the letter as to whether
or not the court of general sessions
could try the three defendants for the
reason that the records of the clerk
''fail to disclose the fact that the
grand jury which brought in the bill
was duly sworn" If it be decided
that such was the case, the letter says,
the conviction of the three would be
illegal. But Fox, it is set forth, ow-
ing to his failure to serve notice of an
appeal would not secure the benefit
of any new trial that might be order
ed.
It was also set forth In the letter
that Fox's relatives lived in North
Carolina and hence were not familiar
with the laws of South Carolina.
Fox's mother died when he was
about three years old, according to
a statement Fox made recently, but
his stepmother is living. She was
said to be in Columbia yesterday also,
but she did not call on the governor
with Mr.. Fox when he presented his
request for clemency for his son.
Mr.. Fox, and his son, J. A. Fox,
after remaining in the governors Of
flee a short time went to the state
penitentiary and visited c. O. Fox
in the death house. The party re-
NAMED but short time, leaving later
in the day for North Carolina.
In addition to the letter from the
father of Fox, several petitions,
signed by many people living in
Stanley Creek, N. c., and other parts
of that state, were left with the gov
ernor. These letters petition the gov
ernor to commute the sentence to life
Imprisonment.
AS is generally known, both Cap
pins and Kirby have given notices OF
appeal to the supreme court and these
appeals serve to stay automatically
the execution of the death sentence
upon them. The three were sentenc-
ed to die in the electric chair October
21, but two have procured longer
leases on life by giving notices OF ap-
peal.
