Trials of Near-Royalty

Court circles, I gather, are rather
exercised about the precise position
of Lord Lascelles in the royal family.
At the court, for instance, there was
rather an embarrassing contretemps.
When debutantes have curtseyed to
the king and queen, the rest of the
royal party bow to them one after
the other, and they bow in return.
On this particular occasion there had
been several such obeisances, and at
the end, Lord Lascelles, very natural
ly, as member of the royal party,
also made his bow. The presented
ones started to follow suit-and then
rather suddenly checked themselves.
1t was an awkward moment.-The
Passing Show Uondon).

church and when they had come as
far as where was once the old rail
road crossing, at MIR. Pierce Wick
er's, the steering rod became loose
and the car plunged headdown into
a ditch, sustaining considerable dlm-
age and injuring the occupants.
While Mr. Banks escaped with only
a slight bump on the chin, the ladies
were more or less badly injured. Mrs.
Counts was struck in the head and
painfully hurt, Mrs. Attaway receiv-
ed a bad cut on the arm, and Mrs.

SMITH HAS PLAN
TO DEFEAT PEST
South Carolina Senator Will Intro.
duce Resolution Calling for
Government Cooperation

Washington, Sept. 5.-The propos-
al for one year suspension of cot
ton planting in the United States as
a means of eliminating the boil wee
vii was suggested in the senate today
by Senator Smith (Democrat) of
South Carolina, who predicted whole
sale abandonment of cotton farms
throughout the South unless govern
mental action were taken to aid in
destruction of the parasite.
The South Carolina senator an
nounced he had written to the chief
entomologist of the department of
agriculture. asking that study be
made to determine whether a years
layoff in cotton growing would erad-
icate the weevil. He said the ento-
mologist had expressed in tele-
phone conversation today the belief
that such action would result in de-
stroying the pest.
Senator Smith announced that as
soon as he received the report of the
entomc,, ,,oGist he proposed to intro
duee a resolution calling for the CO.
operation as far as constitutlonaIly
possible of the federal government in
the stopping of planting for one year
$50 that there may be tomorrow
for the cotton industry"
"Unless this heroic remedy is ap-
Piled" continued the speaker, 'it
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1922-09-08

will be only question of a few years
before the supply of cotton will be
inadequate to meet the domestic
needs, much less the world demand. !"
The present loss to the country
from the ravages of the weevil
amounts to S1,O0O,0O0,000 year,
Senator Smith said. He suggested
that the federal and state govern
ments should join in paying the def
cit to be occasioned by the grow
ers in the one years lay off, de-
claring that it would be cheaper for
the country in the end, even if it had
to appropriate the amount to defray
the expenses caused by the suspen-
sion of cotton growing for one year.
Senator Smith suggested that once
the weevil was eliminated the feder-
al government could and should re-
sort to zoning the Rio Grande border
for a distance of 100 miles, in which
no cotton could be planted, express
ing belief that this practice would
effectively stop the insects m;gra-
ton.
Pointing out that production last
year was only little more than half
of normal and estimating that this
years crop would not exceed 9,OO0,-
900 bales, Senator Smith asked how
long the nation could expect to main
tain the balance of trade in its favor
if it's export of cotton fell away.
The export demand, he continued, is
around 100000 bales, with the do
mestic demand exceeding that slight
ly. On the basis of this years crop
he added, the country would be g.
100000 short of the export require
ments.

Rain and Smiles

1t came-and we knew it would, and
yet,
How we did fuss, complain and fret
And talk boil weevil, drought and
loss,
With no attempt to bear our cross.
On every side we heard the wall,
Although we knew we would not
fail.
All through our lives, natures to
blame,
In rain or sunshine, talks the same.
The "tater" crop is only fair,
The dried fruit nothing like last
year.
The sorghum" is the worst we've
seen,
And watermelons small and green.
The corn is ruined, the wheat has
rust,
The folders less, the banks will
"bust.''
Apples are rotten to the CORE
And peaches smaller than before.
The COWS are "off," the hens won't
lay;
The drought has ruined peas and
hay.
MOSQUITO $ bite through covering and
net.
The same holds true when it is wet.
Cotton's less than twenty-five,
The tarnip patches will not thrive;
The merchant wags his head and
sighs,
And all our complaints reach the
skies.
What if some day God should hear
And send US that of which we fear,
And we should make just what we
say?
Oh. Sad would be that awful day.
For many years 1 watched US grow
From cottage into mansions go,
From one-horse shay to rafting
Ford,
Yea crops never worth our board.
Yes, this is life-let's be content,
And thankful for our blessings sent.
God makes the crops that make our
town.
In rain or SUNSHINE Smi!e-not frown.
Exchange.

RECORD FLIGHT
FOR DOOLITTLE
Airman Flies From Ocean to Ocean
More Than Two Thousand Miles
in Only Twenty Hours

San Diego, Calf, Sept. 5.-Lieut.
James H. Doolittle, army aviator who
began a one stop flight across the
continent at 1908 p. m. Eastern
time, in a specially built De Haviland
airplane, arrived at Rockwell field,
the army aviation headquarters here,
at 5:34 p. m. Pacific time today.
The actual distance travelled by
Lieutenant Doolittle to San Diego
from Pablo Beach, near Jacksonville
Fla, was roughly computed by army
officers here as 2,275 miles.
Lieutenant Doolittle flew over
eight states. Airmen here said his
flight over the Florida swamps was
one of the finest achievements in re-
cent years by military airmen.
The daring aviator was paced in
from Ell Centre, Imperial valley, by
Captain VIM. M. Randolph and Lieu
tenant C. L. Weber, each plotting
De Haviland.
