 Accident Investigated
 Grand Juror William J. Foran has completed his investigation of the ac- cident which took place on South ington road, late Sunday night in which Mrs. James living of the Ad- vent camp grounds was injured. A report of the affair shows that Mo- lesto Vincenzi of Columbia street, New Britain, is held responsible and will be called for hearing later. At present, the condition of Mrs. living prevents her from presenting the facts in the case at a trial as she is confined to her bed. She received an injured shoulder and bruises about the body. Vincenzi is alleged to have run into the carriage with his motor cycle, frightening the horse. The ami nal bolted and threw Mrs. living and her son out. Mrs. living was also accompanied by her daughter who is II years old. The girl showed excel lent pluck as she remained in the carriage and succeeded in bringing the horse to a stop about quarter of mile from where the accident took place. The New Britain man will be summoned as soon as rMs. living is able to attend court.

kensington is going to have run ming water This was decided by a 113 to 30 vote at g special meeting of the Kensington Fire district held al the Foreste,s' hall last evening" The hall was filled to capacity and it was necessary for about 100 people to stand.
 The meeting opened at o'clccl, and the water question debate lasted for two hours before lJ1ai action Aas taken The question riet opposition as soon as fit Nas introduced and many arguments were presented in the two hours of argument.
 Those opposing the argument were ably led hy Judge Willard I. Alling, his son. George Alling and Thomas and William Emerson.
 Syslcm Is Explained
 Arthur L. Moftett was chairman and B. P. Moore was clerk of tho meeting F. l.. Norton. who was chairman of the executive committee called upon Mir. Crowley, of Crowley and Oldershaw. engineers, who have recently completed a survey Of the district, to explain the new system
 
 have been taken into consideration He said that it is considered best policy to have mains large 'Nongh to carry the water under most diff1- cult pressures and thought that T y inch main should he laid from Tow ers' corner to Jacobs corner
 Plans also call for 1o-inclF main with the New Britain mains at the junction of kensingtoa avenue and Corbin avenue in that city. In other sections of the town eight and siN- inch mains will be used,
 Cover Part Of Di-tri"t
 The engineer explained that in or der to, keep within tho 2ioo,Aoo "N- propriation allowed by the l7Gi3'tt''r"' the entire district cannot be auDNlNd with water at the present time. He explained that plans call for giving water to three -fourths of the district and in this way 2S1 homes and fac toties will be supplied while % will not be in the covered territory
 In the so-called part territory proposition, s7 hydrants will also be placed and eight miles of pipe will he laid. It was stated that to cover the entire district would cost Sl 5000, In this territory 14 miles of pipe would he laid and 63 liydrants woull be placed.
 Act or Legislature
 Mir. Norton then explained that Tt the last session of tho lesislatGr" bill was passed allowing the ire dls- trict to issue bonds for Sloo,oo0. only, and he thought that inasmuch as this was the case it would Dc better for the district to go ahead with the part territory plan and water could be extended later upon application to outlying houses.

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
GROW DOG SAY HE GOMEZ
WAS READY TO DIE
By Elmo Scott Ucfson

jWHEN Spotted Tail. backed by
the military whom he had aid
ed, usurped the head cheftainship Of
the Brule Sioux, his high handed act
was bitterly resented. Chief Crow Dog
lhahgi Sunka) took VOW to kill tine
head chief il ever he disgraced the
name of the Sichangu (Rrules).
Years passed. Spotted Tail, drunk
with power, misused his high office for
personal ends. His people murmured
but were powerless. T-en he coveted
the wife Of Medicine Bear and, covet-
ing, took her. Crow Dog, a relative
of Medicine Bear, remembered his
vow. On August 3. 1881, he met Spot
TED Tail and shot him dead, after
which he gave himself up.
de was tried at DeadwOod, S. D.,
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged. Crow Dog asked permis-
sion to say farewell to his family,
promising to return on the day set
for the execution.
When Crow Dog did not show up the
next DAY, Indian police were dispatched
to get him. He was not at home and
his wife told them that the chief had
wished to return to prison alone and
would surely keep his promise The
next day the chief walked into the
Jail at Rapid City. "CrOw Dog say
he come," was his laconic reply to
the surprised greeting OF his jailer.
Meanwhile efforts were being made
to save his life by a stay OF execution.
His case was carried to the Supreme
court of the United States which ruled
that the federal courts had no jurisdic-
tiOn over crime committed by one
Indian against another on reseryar
tion. So Grow Dog walked out Of
prison free man.
Ten years later Crow Dog was In
the limelight again, as one of the
Brule leaders who fled from the Rose
bud agency during the Ghost Dance
craze to join the Ogallalas in the Bad
Lands. The Brule chief was soon con-
vinced that their cause was hopeless
and he cOunselled surrender.
But the irrecOncilables were still
eager for war. They caught up their
rifles and threatened to shoot those
who wavered. Seeing this Crow Dog
drew his blanket over his head. II
do not wish to know who would be
guilty Of Staying a brother Dakota"
he said His words so impressed the
warriors that civil war was averted
and the hostiles sullenly filed into the
agency to surrender.
1t was Crow Dogs last war trail.
From that day he lived In peace on
the Rosebud reservation until his
death August ~. q - :, =; :. ~, 3

HUMAN INTEREST"
IN THE DAILY NEWS

Washington, July 27.-In New
York, where anything may, and many
things do, happen, a woman was shot
five times by her husband because he
caught her going out with other men.
Most people shot even once will COM
plain about it, but Mrs. Margaret
Maher not only refused to swear out
information against her husband, but
defied the Judge, who orderd her, in
The public interest to do so. 81 de-
served to be shot! she answered.
If you have a supposed "dud" or
dead shell which you have
| brought as souvenir from "over
| there" make sure it isn't loaded. A
Watertown, New York, man had
shell used as door weight, and the
sun heated it and it exploded and kill
ed eight children.
Two woman stowaways who man.
aged to conceal themselves until they
reached this country from Russia,
claimed to be opera singers and able
to support themselves. They were
ordered deported back to Russia.
Whereupon both of them said that
sooner than return they would kill
themselves, as death was infinitely
preferable to the dishonor, torture
| md degradation which would be then
lot if they went back to the land of
| Bolshevism and Soviet government.
A Maiden, Mass, man was cruel to
mis- horse, failing to provide it with
proper shelter and food. The wise
Judge, before whom the man was
brought, ordered the horse turned out
to Craze and the man to be confined
for two days and nights in the horses
stable to see how it felt to be horse.

IxcRIcuLTURAL.cRED
AND INSURANCE.

Clemson College, July 20.--The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, through the Bureau of Farm
Economies, has begun new phase
of Extension work In South Carolina
in the form Of project in agricul-
tural credit and insurance, which will
promote the credit union among far
mers as method Of obtaining short
term personal credit; and mutual fire
and livestock insurance as protec-
ton against fire and death OF
livestock by disease or accident. To
carry on this work, DR.. w. H. Mills
has been secured as specialist in agri-
cultural credit and insurance.
South Carolina has had a credit un-
ion law since 1915 but this law has
not been used, chiefly because it did
not have anyone charged with the du-
ty of promoting the organization Of
| credit unions and also because it is
defective in several particulars.
While there are some twelve or
more farmers mutual fire insurance
companies which have proved through
25 years to be of great benefit be-
cause of the low cost of protection
they have given, there is room for
perhaps as many more, thinks DR..
Mills.
| Insurance on Livestock and Crops
The state now leads the South in
the number of purebred cattle, but
very few of these are insured, and of
course still fewer high grade cattle.
The cost of such insurance is so high
to be practically prohibitive, while in
Europe, mutual cattle insurance is
almost universal and the cost is low.
Again, as the expense of raising to-
bocco and other crops increases with
the higher cost of land, labor and fer
t;lizer, it becomes more and more
necessary that farmers shall protect
themselves against other losses, such
as that by hail. Only two mutual live
stock companies and two mutual hail
companies now exist in the state. To
study the whole subject of mutual
insurance and when feasible to or
'ganize new companies is the purpose
of the Department of Agriculture in
appointing DR.. Mills as special agent
for this work. County agents and 9TH
ers, who remember that Dr. Mills was
formerly specialist in rural organiza-
tion, will be glad to know that he
comes back into the Extension Service
in this new capacity. He will be sta
toned at Clemson College and will be
available for engagements through
the county agents for work as indicat-
Cd above.

THE SENATE COMMANDS THE
SUN TO STAND STILL

An inspection of the Congressional
Record reveals a very peculiar sltu-
alton as to the proceedings of the
Senate. In order that the tariff may
be discussed and nothing else inter-
fere with it, the proceedings of the
Senate are headed, Legislative Day
of Thursday, April 20, 1922" Day
after day this heading appears in the
Record. Instead of adjourning after
the days work is done the Senate takes
a recess until the next day. So there
is no prayer by the chaplain as he is
only supposed to pray every day but
this day in July or August is, in legis-
lative fiction, April 20.
The tariff bill is responsible for a
great deal of nonsense but this idea
of saying this hot day in August is
not August at all, but is in April!
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, re-
ferring to the situation, said in re-
cent speech:
"It is astonishing to state that
while the calendars unanimously in
form us that this is the 10Th of July,
1922, as a matter of fact in the Sen
ate it is the Goth of April, 1922. In
order to facilitate one particular sub
ject of legislation the Senate of the
United States has disregarded the sci
entific laws which regulate the ex-
preston of time. Like Joshua of old,
it has commanded that the sun stand
still. While the people of the United
States and the world look on with
amazement at these proceedings, the
clock, which governs them, reflects the
hour of 12 noon, April 20, 1922.

DEMOCRATS WIN A POINT

Score a victory for the Democrats
and the Democratic doctrine of tariff
for revenue only. When the PROPOSE
tion came up in the Senate to con-
tinue the dye embargo in favor of the
dye monopoly in the United States
thirteen Republicans joined with
twenty-three Democrats in opposition
to the proposal.
The dye industry has been coddleo
and petted and favored in every way
because it was an alleged infant in
dustry. 1t has become full growr
giant and does not need protection.
Coal tar and other similar product:
that have been so highly protected
should now be cheaper.

ONE THOUSAND MEMBERS MORE

Two million pounds of tobacco were
signed up with the Tristate pool in
South Carolian last week. "a Thou
sand Members More" is the slogan
for the few days that remain until
July 31st, when the last contract from
South Carolina will be signed.
The closing up of all auction ware
houses in a number of the large mar
ket towns is aiding the landslide of
contracts which pours into headquar-
ters.
The business men and bankers of
Florence set the pace in the campaign
ing last week during which forty to
fifty business men of the headquarters
town solicited contracts for the AS
sociation with highly successful re-
suits.
One hundred contracts mailed in
from Lake City last week have added
to the thousands of acres of Associa-
tion tobacco which now surround the
| biggest market of the State.
Mullins is another market which is
now surrounded by cooperative grow
ers who have been backed steadily
by leading bankers and merchants of
the town, for more than a hundred
! contracts were signed there recently.

Carolina, and on the west side of the
river with l.. E. Rogers directing the

Manning is another town which Is
heavily backing the cooperative mar
keting movement. The recent trans
fer of R. d. Clark has made Manning
another strong cooperative center.
With $4,000 members in the As
sociation today, with forty million dol
lars behind the Association, with town
after town closing the auction houses.
with landslide of new members ioin-
mig daily, the slogan of "A Thousand

by the night of Monday, July 31st.
Next Monday marks the last chance
for the farmers of South Carolina to
sign the contract which has been call
ed their New Declaration of Inde-
pendense and the best form of demo-
racy practised in America.

ARE BEEF CATTLE pRoFlrASLEr

Clemson College, July 2S.-"That
South Carolina has great dormant
resource in her future meat produc-
ing capacity, resource which will be
gradually developed, and which will
utilize he cheap uhtillabla lands of
the state," is the opinion of Prof. L..
V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal Di-
vision, who has just returned from
Western Norch CAROLINA, where the
chief source of income Tor the farmer
is cattle. 1t is surprising but true, that
the farmers in this section are in
good circumstances. They are living
in comfortable houses and seem to
have incomes which supply their
needs.
SIN fact, in travelling over several
states of the South and West 1 have
yet to see a livestock section which is
not prosperous" continues Prof. Star
key.
There are many farmers in South
Carolina who believe that on the aver
age beef prodution does not pay. Per-
haps they are right. But we have the
right to ask who is it that it does not
pay? There are several things which
might contribute to the correct an
swer to this question, some of which
are poor soils, poor pastures, scrub
cattle, free range, iseases, and the
like. Prof. Starkey is of the opinion,
however, that when we get the right
sort of pasture, beef production will
pay.
There are thousands of acres of
idle land in South Carolina, and as
| soon as these acres are put under
fence and the soil which is now bare is
covered with grass, beef cattle can

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. c., July 31.-The
coal strike demonstrates that Harding
has little force-probably les sthan
Taft--but it also proves another
thing-that he has no sympathy in
his heart for the man who tolls. His
every move, weak and undecisive
though it may be, leans toward the
interests of the big corporations.
Eighteen weeks ago 100000 union
coal miners were put out of work by
The concerted action of the mine own
ers, due to the simple fact that the
simple fact that the existing wage
agreements had reached their expira-
ton and the owners refused to meet
4 delegatio from the workers and fix
up new schedule of wages for the
coming year. In all this time no coal
has been mined by union miners ex-
cept in Kentucky. The result is there
is not enough coal to supply summer
needs of industry, and not ton on
hands for the coming winter, If all
the miners should go to work to-
morrow there would still be a scarcity
If coal all winter long AS this is writ
zen there is no immediate prospect of
work being resumed.
In 1902 Roosevelt faced a similar
situation and he promptly ordered the
owners to open up their mines at the
Did rates of pay and he would appoint
| ommission to look into the matter of
wages and bring the owners and work
ers to an agreement; he did, and thus
settled the problem. Harding had that
Example before him, and all of the
owners in the country knew of it, bnt
hey did not want this done. What
hey did want was that the workers
should come on the owners terms and
none other. A good many of us have
become impatient at times with come
If the more extreme attitude Of GER
tain labor leaders, but this is some
what different. An examination Of the
balance sheet of some of the biggest
coal producing companies will show
that they have profted well, while
many dealers have grown rich off the
prices obtained for soa in the last
few years. Only the miners, their
wives and children, and the consuming
public do the suffering.
Harding has talked platitudes and
his satellites have handed out many
vague hints Of the wonderful moves
he has up his sleeve to end the coal
and rail strikes, but if he has these
wonderful moves, they are still up his
sleeve, while he plays much golf, goes
