Lady Shoots at Man

What would have been a fright
ening time to good many women
was taken in very cool manner by
Miss Maggie Thomasson Wednesday
night at about 10 o'clock in her home
She was in her room and had closed
the blinds when she heard one of the
blinds turn. She went to the window
and looked out but saw nothing. Not
being satisfied and feeling sure there
was someone outside she got her pis-
, tol and went out. Looking all around
she still did not see any signs of any.
thing unusual until she turned to gc
back to the house, when she saw
something white at one end of the
house. She shot at the object
which proved to be a man, as she was
near enough to ibe sure of that and
the man got up and ran after the
first shot. Miss Thomasson shot
three times at the fleeing man, but
she couldn't tell whether he was
white or black. The bloodhounds
were sent for and Mr.. league arriv,
ed with them and put them on the
trail, which the dogs followed on
down across the railroad, when it is
thought the unknown man must have
taken a car or transfer, as the trail
was lost at that point. It is a great
pity the scoundrel could not have
been caught, so that he would get the
punishment coming to him.

;GISS EMMA MAFFETT GROWS
GRADUALLY WORSE

Many friends and relatives will re-
member the recent visit Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. NJ. Maffett of Atlanta to New
berry only few weeks ago. They
will also recall their bright little
daughter, Miss Emma, who is just
thirteen years old.
They will also recall having seen
in the papers or having heard that
soon after the return of the family
to their Atlanta home that Miss En-
ma while on a visit to some girl
friends near Atlanta went horse
back riding and that she was thrown
from the horse and seriously injured
and they will regret to learn that she
does not improve and fears are that
she will not recover.
Mr.. J. B. Halfacre and Mr.. D. S.
Ralfacre, near relatives of the Maj
fetts, have just returned from At
lanta where they went to see little
Miss Emma and they report that the
worst is feared and little hope Of re-
covery is entertained by the family
for her.
She was bright and pretty little
girl and made many friends on the
recent visit to Newberry who will
regret to hear of her serious condi-
ton.

Miss Lucille Godbold, one Of the
two star point earners for the Amer
lean in the international track meet
for women at Paris yesterday, who
established a world record in the shot
put, is a resident Of Estill in this
state, has been a special student at
Winthrop college, Rock Hill, for the
last four years, and is now under en-
gagement as athletic director of Co.
lumbia college. The tryouts for the
American team Of seven were held
in New York city in May.
Assuming that the figures have
been correctly transmitted, Miss God
bold's performance in Paris was eX-
traordinary. Twenty meters, p
centimeters, is 66 feet, three inches,
plus. Miss Godbold's own record
using one arm, was 35 feet, II inch
es. Even if the figures were junlbled
in transmission it seems clear that
Miss Godbold established new
world record.
Miss Godbold is sister to Miss
Sarah Godbold, physical director of
Chicora college, who also is trainer
for the women students at the Uni
versity of South Carolina. She ex-
poets to return from Paris immedi-
ately and will take up her duties at
Columbia college with the opening Of
the session in September. She has
shown remarkable aptitude for the
profession in her work at Winthrop,
in which her principal instructors
have been Mrs. Beth NJ. Weatherbee,
Mrs. Joe Roddey, Jr., and Mrs. Ruth
T. Bartlett.

get more and better legislation for the
people is more people awake-more
backing by the people themselves-an
aroused public sentiment.
In order to revive the govern
ment grain corporation it is not
as necessary to put new men i'm
congress, as it is to wake up and
show that you CAN if you have to.
The trouble is not so much with con-
gress as with the folks who elect con-
gress.
In fact, I think, the willingness of
congress to revive the government
grain corporation and pool our wheat
and other farm products, is in direct
proportion to the extent to which the
farmers are awake and alive in their
demands that it be DONE
CONGRESS WILL MOVE JUST
AS FAST AS YOU DO-NO FAST
Err AND NO SLOWER.
This is why tell you that million
men and women must write letters
and pass resolutions, and send them
to senators and representatives con-
tinually.
Men in congress must be sure that
you are alive and actively back of
them or they can not and will not do
anything for you.
IN URING the last few weeks, the
u. S. Grain Growers, the Farm
- Bureau, the Equity and other
farm organizations have made further
demands for governmental investiga-
ton and protection. We are making
progress.
If the Inconvenience of writing let
ter once week to your senators and
representatives is too much of job
for you, then you can be sure that the
work Of authorizing the grain cor
poration to pool your grain is too
much Of job for congressman and
senators. They won't move any faster
than you do, because they want to
know that you are alive and mean
business, and will protect them if they
oppose the grain gamblers.
Let every voter in the family write
letters once a week to both senator's
and representatives. Get this message

Does this look as if the price of
wheat is low because it can not be sold
in foreign countries?
NOV note this: According to the
N United States department. of
Az agriculture, bulletin 999, page
18, for the five pre-war years,
1910 to 1914, the difference between
the average price paid the farmers
and the average wholesale export
price at New York was IA cents
bushel.
But in June, 1921, the difference
between the average price paid
the farmers for wheat and the
average wholesale export price at
New York was IS cents bushe],
or 400 per cent increased!
Also, as pointed out in the Leader of
November IL, the ocean freight rates
from New York to Liverpool were
raised from 8 cents per bushel in 1910,
to 36.5 cents in 1918 AN increase Of
1900 per cent.
C. H. Gustafson, head of the u. S.
Grain Growers, Inc, says:
It has been matter of common
statement among Chicago grain men
and on the floor of the Chicago Board
of Trade. for the last several months
that the present market is 'one-man
market and that in the present market
is large operator who, in addition to
being buyer, is also an elevator ware
hOuseman, a shipper, manufacturer
of grain food products, miller and an
exporter.
In short, milling and marketing of
grain and grain products is complete
private, monopoly. And the abuses of
this monopoly have reached the limit.
TN THE United States congress
there is group Of senators known
- as the "farm bloc" This bloc is
made up Of both Republican and

They are leaders in a movement to

that they have the ability, to get any
reasonable legislation that they 60

r VOW many times have you been
that the price of wheat was
'~ tumbling down because there
was no export market-that foreign
countries couldn't buy it and didn't
want it?
No export demand-people in other
countries could not buy-they were
living as best they could on what they
had-too much wheat-no place to
sell! "
Farmers have had that stuff dinned
into their ears until most of them have
come to believe it.
Now look what we find from official
figures of the reports Of the United
States department of commerce.: =
Average number Of bushels
of wheat exported for the
first 10 months of pre-
war years, 1910-11-12-
#t l5-l4 ................ 6O,5SS,SS4
Number of bushels exported
first 10 months of 1920. 166,34S,S14
Number of bushels exported
first 10 months of 1921. .255, ,8O6,737
For the first 10 months of 1921 over
four times more of our wheat sold to
foreign countries than the average for
the corresponding periods for five
years before the war! Ninety million
bushels more in 1921 than in 1920
more than so per cent increase i'm 1921
over 1920!
Wheat went up during the war, and
would have gone higher if the govern
ment grain corporation had not kept
it down. We understood that the war
price advance was caused by the great
European demand resulting in heavy
exports to feed the warning nations.
But here are the government fig
ures:
The average yearly exports
of wheat and flour during
- 1915-16-17-18, the war
years -. 227 1895, 900
For the year 1920 there was
exported, W h e a t and .
flour ................. .3O7, ,394, 200
If wheat and wheat -four continued
to be exported at the same rate during
November and December, as for the
first 10 months, there was exported
during 1921 more than $4,000, 900
bushels. This is 122,OOO,OO bushels
