That Half Of Locomotives
are Defective Due to Strike.
BoRAH URGES ROADS
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Harding Has Approved Meas
ure for Storing Defective
Equipment by Commission.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-(U. P.)
I--U'ness the railroad strike Is settled
within 20 days the nations farmers
will suffer serious and widespread
loss" because of lack of cars, Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho, today wired De
Witt Cuyler, chairman OF the asso-
|clation Of railway executives Borah
declared the situation was fast be-
looming intolerable,'' and expressed
the, hope that speedy settlement
might be reached. According to re-
ports to the government Investigation
today the railroads are now showing
10 more concliatory mood, due to the
reported widespread deterioration OF
motive power and rolling stock. s
The rail executives realize that TO
win the present controversy they must
ward off serious * transportation
breakdown. The Interstate commerce
commission dealt their efforts a big
blow when with President Harding's
approval II announced that laws by
which the commissions agents might
order defective equipment stored
would be strictly enforced. There Is
n appeal from the commissions or.
ders banning such equipment. The
commission is soon to make a report
to congress in compliance with the
scnates resolution. This will show
that more than half the country's sew
enty thousand locomotives are now
defective due to the strike, which has
caused the cancellation of many trains
and delays to others, as brotherhood
members refuse to man the engines.

Makes sLiOing On 40
Hens and Garden

Il get a living from forty hens
and my garden" says DR.. w. w.
Long, director of extension work in
South Carolina. While talking with
DR.. Long in Columbia last Wednes-
day he mentioned that he always had
vegeta bles growing in his garden
and at this time there are eight varie-
ties growing. 1--WE have green vege-
tables for the family all-year-round,"
said DR.. Long, and added that, be-
sides the eggs and chickens consum-
ed at home, he sold poultry and
poultry products sufficient to buy his
dry groceries. This indicates clear
ly what can be done on small plot
of land and is proof that DR.. Long
knows how to put his preaching
into practice.
Some time ago a delegation of
farmers visited Clemson college to
talk over farming conditions with
DR.. Long. While there they asked
him what they must do to pull out
of the rut of the one crop system
and his reply was: Live at home"
They remarked that this slogan had
a good ring, but did it work. He in
vited them to his home to look over
the garden and poultry. On seeing
the results he had accomplished on
such a small area they were deeply
interested in the methods he had
followed and indicated that they e1-
pected to undertake to Give at home"
in the future.

ACQUTTTAL FOR JAMES DUNCAN.
Cut Negro Policeman; Boston Jury
Reverses Decision

Boston, Feb. ia jury in the
superior court today returned a
verdict of not guilty in the case Of
James A. Duncan, of Columbia, S. c.,
graduate student at Harvard Uni
versity, charged with assault on Da-
vid K. Blair, negro policeman, last
May. The jurors were out one hour.
The finding reversed that of the
lower court in which Duncan was
found guilty and sentenced to three
months Imprisonment.
The charges grew out of an early
morning incident in Southland
doorway when Duncan and his fan
Gee, Miss Frances Shannon, Of Frank
lin, Tenn, now Mrs. Duncan, were in
terrupted while kissing good night, by
Officer Blair. The policeman's re-
marks were resented by Duncan, the
word "nigger" was used by Miss
Shannon, there was a mix up in
which Duncan drew knife and the
couple then were arrested by Blair
who had been cut.

"Uncle Joe y to Retire
From Public Life

Uncle" Joe Cannon, oldest mem
Der of the house, announced this
week, he would not be candidate
for reelection as representatives
from the 18th Illinois district.
The former speaker announced his
intention to retire in a statement
which read:
81 am not candidate for election
to the 6Sth congress-
Reports had been current for some
time that he would seek another term
but in reply to inquiries Mr.. Cannon
always declared he had not made up
his mind to his plans.
The Illinois representative, one of
the most picturesque and widely
known figures in congress, will be
,eighty-six years old next May 6. He
is serving his twenty-third term as
member of the house, during eight
years of which he was speaker.
While Mr.. Cannon in his statement
gave no reason for his announced in
tention of retiring from public life,
close friends disclosed that he had
made the decision in, the belief that
his health and age made less stren-
uous life advisable. He is exepcted
to retire to his home in Danville, ILL.,,
after serving out his present term.
Wearing an old slouch hat, and
with\a heavy overcoat wrapped close
ly around his throat, Uncle Joe sat IN
the house chamber today while Rep
resentative Green, Republican, Iowa,
was delivering Lincoln day address.
The hat came off at the close of the
speech and the veteran legislator ap-
plauded with the rest.
' Announcement of Mr.. Cannon's de-
termination to retire was not sur
prise to members, as most of his in
innate friends understood he was
bit too feeble to carry on the active
duties of a representative.
Announcement of the former
speakers decision to retire from pub
lie life was made on the floor of the
house by Representative Walsh, Re-
publican, Massachusetts, a close
personal friend of the Illinois repre-
sentative. In a brief eulogy Mr..
Walsh declared that members of the
house would ''learn with regret ting
ed with SORROW" of Mr.. Cannon
intention to leave the house.

LIVE WIRE KILLS GAFFNEY MAN.
Another Falls Through Elevator
Shaft After Receiving Shock.

Gaffney, Feb. 16.-R. R. Johnson,
young white man, was instantly kill
ed at the Musgrove mill in Gaffney
this morning when he came in con-
tact with a heavy charged wire while
he was making some repairs on the
elevator building. No one saw the
accident and he only lked about one
minute after the contact. He was
the boss weaver in the }Musgrove
mills and was highly esteemed by his
employer and all who knew him. His
parents reside near Cowpens in Spar
tanburg county. He was 25 years
old. C. L. Dickson, who was work
ing on the fourth floor of the mill,
came in contact with same wire that
killed Johnson and fell distance Of
6S feet into pool Of water Is inches
in depth in the basement and got to
his feet and walked home, a distance
of 200 yards. He fell through the
elevator shaft and came in slight
contact with the elevator, which was
stopped at the third floor, not sus-
tanning serious injuries.

STOCK SWINDLING ALLEGED.
District Attorney Thinks Only Small
Per Cent. of Victims Report.

New York, Feb. 19.-Though hum
dreds of complaints Of stock swim
ding through the operation of bucket
shops have been received and indict-
ments returned against nearly a
score of brokers, District Attorney
Banton tonight expressed the belief
that not 10 per cent. Of the fraud
victims had reported their losses.
He said he thought many persons
with complaints to lodge withheld
them for fear of publicity that would
bring ridicule on them as 'easy
marks" A large number Of letters
and telegrams received by the district
attorney but never followed up by a
personal call, led him to believe, he
added, that the writer's would rather
bear their losses in silence than let
it be known that they had engaged
"either in investment in wildcat en-
terprises or gambling in bucket
shops."

OFFICER SHOOTS AND KILLS MAN
Hits Him in Head, and Pistol Ex-
plodes, 1t Is Alleged.

Spartanburg, Feb. 17.-Clyde
Brown, of Pacolet, was shot and kill
ed on the Inman road this evening by
Furman Davis, rural policeman
From what could be learned of the
affair it appears that Brown, in com
pany with Eddie Upton, young wo-
man, passed the policeman driving
at an alleged fast and reckless rate.
The officer gave chase and passed
Browns car. When he did Brown
rammed Davis's car, wrecking it, and
leaving Davis standing by the road.
Soon a high-powered car passed and
Davis got in and gave chase. He
again passed Browns car. When
he did Brown is alleged to have run
out of the road and to have thrown
out two jugs of whiskey. His car
choked down and Davis went to
make an arrest. When he did Brown,
it is alleged, made an attack on the
officer and made an effort to get the
gun from him. Davis jerked loose
from Brown and struck him with the
pistol and when he did the gun went
off, wounding Brown in the head.
Brown was rushed TO the General
hospital where he died in about an
hour.

WOMAN DIES IN BURNING HOME.
Miss Pauline Weston, Loses Life in
, Georgetown.

Georgetown, Feb. 17.-Miss Pau
line Weston, one of the oldest and
most remarkable women of the coun-
ty, lost her life last night in fire
that totally destroyed her home IN
the village of Plantersville. She was
"a years of age but still bright and
active. She has long been promi'
nent figure in that community. In
the house with her and presumably
all asleep when the fire originated
were three sisters, Misses Monte, An
ME and Liza Weston, also elderly wo-
men, who escaped. The flames made
rapid headway and Miss Pauline was
undoubtedly cut off from escape. 1t
is one of the most distressing occur
rences that ever took place in this
county.
