COTTON ACREAGE

Columbia, Feb. 26.-ConvinCed
they say. that any increase in cotton
acreage this year would be absolutely
ruinous to the state, officials Of the
South Carolina Division of the Am
eriCan Cotton Association today is
facts in the situation, as they see
them. and urging every interest in
South Carolina to unite in an effort to
hold the acreage down a. least to
that of 1921. A further reduction
would be strongly advisab the asso-
citation says, four major reasons are
given by the association why tho
acreage should not be- increased and
it says there are numerous minor
reasons. the four principal ones are:
First. An increase in cotton
acreage would cheaper all collateral
held by Southern banks.
Second. Under boil wccvil con-
ditions an increase in acreage
means an incerase in possible disas-
ter by the boil wecvil
Third. An increase i'm cotton
acreage means a decrease in food
and feed crops. Let's make the South
ern farm self-sustaining before We
again undertake to raise q surplus of
cotton.
Fourth After bearing the brunt
OF deflation neither our bankers. mcr-
chants for mar farmers are in q posi-
ton to finance large crop.
Under existing conditions We ought
not to run the risk of a crop failure
and thus cnbarrass banks. mercha nts
and farmers. Plant only such crops
ease
The association in it's statement
takes the view that while "a large
acreage this year would not by anv
means insure a large crop, it would
certainly very greatly dcprcss the
price for the next eight or nine
months any way. If we ovcrDroduce
prices will be ruinous, if we over
plant and the boil wcevil repeats her
1921 performance. ruin is certain,
either way you look at it our ONLY
salvation Is in a very small acreage ;"
The association says that it feels it
to be its duty to sound this note of
warning to the farmers of the state
and it reminds them that sit is better
to be safe than sorry"

Masquerade Dance Under Auspices
of Maccabees Was Attended By
Nice Crowd and Was
Seasons Best Frolic

The Thanksgiving ball, held at
the Nixon opera house, under the
auspices of the Women's Benefit
Association of the Maccabees, is de-
clared, by those who attended, to
have been one of the most delight
full social gatherings that has been
held within the confines of Winnie
mucca for many and many a day,
and it is said that if there was any
one there who failed of enjoying
the evening from start to close, it
sure was not the faut Of those who
had arranged the affair.
The program was replete with
specialities out Of the ordinary, and
the Misses Lois Carlson and Dorina
Petronivich, and Don Rose, in in
terpretations of Spanish dancing
and burlesques of ballet dancers,
we're roundly applauded.
Evans orchestra supplied most
excellent music for the dancers,
and the ladies derived quite a snug
sum to partially compensate them
for the arduous work put forth to
make of the evening one that would
prove highly enjoyable; and the
money will be devoted to Christ

GOES TO PEN FOR
10 YEARS TO LIFE
John Harris, Who Got His Man, Cets
Sentence on Plea of Guilty to
Second Degree Murder
May Serve for Life

John Harris, who appeared in
court one day last week and en-
tered plea of guilty to murder in
the second degree, for the killing of
Claude Silvers, in the Central bar,
at 8 o'clock Friday night, August
18th, was this morning arraigned
for sentence before Judge Callahan
and given an indeterminate SEN
tence to the penitentiary, that may
keep him within the confines of
prison walls for the balance of his
life, or he may be released at the
end of ten years, providing that he
is not pardoned nor paroled in the
meantime.
Harris plea Of guilty, entered at
the time it was, came in the nature
of a surprise to some, as it was
quite generally believed that his
counsel, Patrick McCarren of Reno,
was preparing to go into court and
make fight for the exculpation of
his client on the ground that he was
insane, temporarily or otherwise, at
the time that he marched into the
Central bar and, without the slight
est warning, "got his man."
Just what might have followed
had his attorney gone into court
with the plea of insanity is, of
course, purely conjectural, for none
but a simple-minded person would
dare hazard a wager upon what ver-
dict a jury would return; but the
consensus of opinion seems to be
that John Harris took less risk of
jeopardizing his life by pleading
guilty than he would had he faced
jury trial by twelve men, good and
true-whatever kind of men the lat
ter may mean.
1t was rumored that several men,
friends of Claude Silvers in his life
time, were going to do their utmost
to get called for jury service and il
was told, in that connection, that
some of them had declared that il
they managed to hold a place in
the jury box John Harris life would
be exacted as a penalty for his
crime, or there would be no return
of a verdict. One enthusiast along
that line is said to have declared
that if the jury didn't vote to lethal
gas John Harris, he would, if he
were on the jury, hang that body
until hell froze over, and spend the
balance of his days carrying coal to
hades to keep the home fires burn
ing and-ice from freezing.

However petitions for re-hearings
have been provided for to meet just
such situation. We feel confident
we will have restored to US any
rights which the Honorable Court
may, after due consideration, de-
termine should be restored to u.s.
We take this position, not only as
advocates in this cause, but as menu
bers of the bar of this state, and in
fairness to this court, whose de-
cisions become the settled law of
this state.
"Our final proposition, that in
any view of this cause and in any
event, even if this Honorable Court
should refuse to reconsider its ac-
ion in any matter hereinbefore re-
ferred to, this court will remand
this cause for another trial. OF
course, we take the position that,
under all circumstances, another
trial, will, indeed, be burdensome,
and must result in final judgement
in both the trial court and in this
court in respondents favor. But,
however burdensome another trial
may be, if such is necessary, this
respondent will not be in position
to say, truthfully, that he has been
deprived Of any ultimate right
which he has in this cause. If this
court has erred in its conclusions,
upon this record, and we are so
firmly Of the belief that this court
has inadvertently grievously err
red, If no other relief can be had,
we will accept a mandate directing
a re-trial, and we will cheerfully
assume the burdens Of another
trial."
It is a mighty hard job to lick a
man wro refuses to admit being
licked.
