acid phosphate should be used with it.
Potash does not pay on our soils, but

Shallow, Rapid Cultivation.
Cotton, / believe, is more often hurt
than corn by too deep cultivation. In
our work with cotton it is first side
narrowed, then chopped, and then dirt

sweeps. Later cultivation is almost en-

charges against them.
That antagonism engendcred against
some residents of this Grecnville
suburb because Of their stand against
Illicit liquor deals was the probable
motive was the opinion expressed by
officials, Sheriff Rector saying that he
is well satisfied with the evidence he
has obtained in mis- long work on the
case. All of this evidence has not
been made public yet but will likely
come out within a few days.
Two Attempts Made.
II seems to be the general opinion
that two attempts to start a fire in
that section of Park Place were made
before the conflagration, which began
around o'clock yesterday morning,
got under way. About 10:S0, 1t was
stated, an effort to fire a barn was
made, but the flames were discovered
and the effort frustrated. Shortly
afterwards, another clubhouse, a
garage, was set on fire, and this blaze
likewise was extinguished without
serious damage. When the school
house was fired, however, the high
wind carried the flames on to other
structures and efforts of the Poe
Mill, and Sampson fire departments
to check tho blaze were Of no avail.
The city department was summoned
but was powerless to stop the fire be-
cause Of lack of water.
Kerosene at School.
OF the incendiarism Of the fire there
seems to be little doubt, it being gen.
, orally stated that good portion OF
the school building was saturated in
kerosene when the fire started. Off
cials of the Park Place school say
they know Of no reason why anyone
should hold a, srudge against the
school.
The fire originated in the school
building, swept to the home of Tom
Raines, then to the Raines Grocery
store. and on, destroying the homes
of Sidney williams, Ben. Stone, Fred
Cooper, J. e. Daniels, and destroying
also the Coleman Grocery company
store. .....
Carl Austin, one of the young men
arrested, lives in Park Place, while
Henry Swilling and Dewey Howard
the other two, live on the Anderson
road They say that they were not
connected with the fire In any way

AIR FORCE DECLINING
General Mitchell Urges That Force Be
Kept in Readiness. g

Kept in Readiness.
The United States is wasting seven
billion dollars worth of war-trained
aviators while Europe is utilizing hers
in commercial and military flying.
This is the warning brought back
to Washington by acknowledgements
William Mitchell, who is on the. job
again as assistant air chief, after 4
tour of inspection overseas. He said:
"It cost US about $4,000 each to, train
10000 aviators during the war, but the
replacement value of each aviator,
every expense considered, is not less
than half a million dollars EACH"
AS not more than 1000 of the $4,000
are now engaged in flying, either mill
tary or commercial that puts the total
valuation of the $4,000 disengaged
flicrs at $7,OOO,OOO,OOO. General Mitch
ell continued: g. g. e
"The airplane is driving the battle
ship under water, and the big lighter
than air ships, rather than large water
craft, viii be the aircraft carriers of
the future.
} "In Europe they know this and the
air Is being made the first line of de-
fense. Just as the overland airplanes
drove the infantry under the ground,
so is the overwater plane driving the
batteship under water, and practi-
cally the only useful naval craft OF the
future will be submarines"
General Mitchell wants to send
fleet of American army planes around
the world Turning to a revolving
globe in his office, he pointed out his
proposed route, saying:
"I would start from New York and
head for Greenland cross over it and
thence to Sweden and across to Slber-
Ia, then to Alaska and back to New
York by the same route our army f1iers
took when they made their flight from
Mineola, L. l., to Nome and back"
Discussing the commercial aviation
he predicted that most cross country
travel will be by air within ten years.
He added: .....
"Thc long transcontinental runs Of
the future will be made in the big
dirigiblcs: the trunk lines will be fed
by airplanc lines for the shorter dis
tances."

CRIME INCREASE NOTED
Jail Commitments in South Carolina
Larger Than for Previous Year.

Larger Than for Previous Year.
A marked increase in crime in South
Carolina is indicated by the county
Jail commitment statistics just given
out by the State Board Of Public We'll
fare, in Columbia. For the statistical
year ending June 90, 1921. the total
number of commitments to the county
jails of the state was 1896, an in
crease of almost 4S per cent. over the
year before when the commitments
totaled only 1856. ,..
The population Of the county chain
gangs shows a corresponding growth
of population. In 1920 on the days on
which the camps were Visited by the
representative of the board of public
welfare the population was S75 negro
and 80 white men. In 1921, however,
the population showed 1,240 negroes
and 200 whites, a total growth of ap-
proximately 40 per cent. .....
The alarming increase in crime
that these figures show may be at
tributed, in large part, to the economic
reverses suffered by the people of the
state. Money can with difficulty be
obtained by justifable methods so the
unprncipled and needy have oftentime
resorted to illegal means Of getting q
livelihood. Besides, the number OF
persons arrested for violation Of the
prohibition law has swelled the num-
| Der of commitments.
This increase, however, does not
seem so serious when viewed in COM
parison with the statistics for other
years. In 1916, for example, just five
years previous, the commitments
totaled approximately 11,743. ihe
commitments for 1921 are actually
per cent less than they were for 1916
even though the 4S per cent. increase
over those for 1920 is quite unpreced-
ented.

not only one day in the year and
from choice, but many days in the
year and from dire necessity.
This aspect of the Day of
Atonement cannot be stressed too
much nor too often, as many have
been accustomed to looking upon
the observance of this day as a
real service to God rather than as
an inspiration for the true service
of man, forgetting that in Juda-
ism these two cannot be separat-
ed. For, Judaism has always
stood, not for mere emotion, not
for mere praying and hymn-sing-
ing and 1ove-rapture, but for ac-
tua1, living and loving service.
And what is loving service to God
but vague sentiment, misty
emotion, unless it manifests itself
in loving service to man?

THE HUMANE ASPECT OF
~. ATONEMENT

Among all the religious institu-
tons of all times there is none
more beautiful nor more fraught
with meaning than the Day of
Atonement. Yet not all, even
among those who observe it
strictly, comprehend it's real 'pur-
pose. There are some who ascribe
some magical atoning power to
the mere utterance of prayerful
words, however insincere and un-
felt. ! Others>pin their faith to the
mere. fact of fasting, while there
are those who attribute a miracu-
lous effectiveness to the day it
self whose mere advent, they
think, will adjust their moral ac-
count and automatically expunge
their offenses from the heavenly
records.
The purpose of Yom Kippur is
to make possible not only atone
menf but also at-one-ment-at
onernent with ones self, atone
merit with ones Creator, but be-
fore and above all, at-one-ment
with ones fellowmen. off," says
the Talrnud, "thou hast wronged
thy brother, first go and recon-
cile. thyself to him, for otherwise
the Day of Atonement will not
absoive thee: And it is this hu-
name characteristic of the day we
should. lay stress on, rather than
upon its theological aspect.

CLOSING ON THE HOLY
DAYS

Business men have been COM
planning bitterly of the losses they
have sustained during the last
year. But business reverses that
come without our wishing must
be taken and endured. All the
more reason why Jews sprung
from the race of martyrdom and
self-sacrifce should be willing to
assume any additional loss that
may be involved in keeping closed
on Rosh Hashonoh and Yom Kip
pur.
And is it certain that closing
will entail a total loss? 1t may
seem strange, but there are still
many Jews (and non-Jews) who
so admire faithfulness to princi-
pie that they feel that those who
observe their religion deserve not
only praise but also patronage.
We know of prominent Nicol-
let avenue firm that announced in
it's advertisements that the store
would not be open for business
last Saturday on account Of reli-
gious holiday. A similar notice
was placed upon the door. The
next day woman who had seen
the announcement about holiday
closing entered the store, made a
substantial purchase, and in
formed the proprietor that she
was patronizing his store just be-
cause he had transacted no busi-
ness on the holiday. We should
not be surprised if there were
many such instances of patron
age as a direct reward for observ-
ing Rosh Hashonoh.
But far more important, to our
mind, than such financial Offset
ting of any loss that might come
from holiday closing is the spirit
ua1 gain. The self-respect, the
peace of mind, the Strengthening
Of character, the sense of Jewish
loyalty, that come to the one who
observes his religion even though
it demand se1f-sacrifce,-ttese
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents, yet they far outweigh any
financial loss. And the Jewish
