Seeking Secret
Of North Pole
Captain Amunsden Preparing
to Start on a -Four Year
Trip in Polar Regions

New York. Jan. 9.-Nithin four
years Capt. Ronald AmundSen, Arc
tic adventurer and diecoverer Of the
South Pole. expects 20 return to
civilization from the North Pole in
possession of the knowledge and
power that will enable scientists TO
predict weather conditions for a
year Or more in advance.
Captain Amundsen, who arrived
here tonight from Seattle. is en-
route to Washington, where he
will discuss with directors of the
Carnegie institute details Of his re-
newed attempt to drift across the
top Of the world in his ice-bound
craft
With him he will take instru-
1nents for super-scientific study
Of the upper air reaches Of polar
regions. He says he Will attempt
to work out the theory of Prof.
Wilhelm Bjerknes Of the University
of Christiaaia. Norway, that the
weather conditions at the North
Pole govern the weather Of the re-
mainder OF the earth s surface and
that an intimate knowledge Of the
farthest north weather will enable
scientists to determine for q year
or more in advance a more or less
exact chart Of weather conditions
in the remainder of the world. If
this is accomplished he said, it will
prove an inest;nabic boon to the
worlds crop growers.
Captain Amundsen will make all
his scientific reports to the Car
negie/ institute His vessel, the
Maude is now being provisioned in
Seattle for a seven year voyage al
though the Morse explorer believes
he will complete his unique expedi-
ton in less than four years. There
VII be nine men in his party, in

was one OF his crew OH the trip to

COMING SHOE STYLES.

A slow battle appears to be on
between the fashionable and the
orthopedic shoe. At present the
latter is distinctly gaining ground.
Boot. and shoe authorities say that
common sense as to footwear has
been growing in the public mind at
a steadily increasing rate.
Somehow the notion has become
current that feet were made to
walk with, rather than on; that the
foot cannot function properly if 1t
is restricted or restrained by ILL
fitting shoes; that shoes correctly
constructed are not merely cover
fngs for the foot but aids to 1t in
its business Of walking; and that
there must be some relation be-
tween the shape and dexibility of
the foot and the shape and hexi-
bility Of the shoe.
Common sense will have to de-
velop good deal further before
the knockout blow is dealt the
shoe Of fashion, built merely to
please perverted taste. Yet, as it
becomes knswn that there are
shoes which can be worn without
causing aching feet, bunions, cal
louses, corns. ingrowing nails or
arch troubles, those shoes are like
ly to become fashionable them
selves. Then the victory will be
assured.

Tobacco Meetings
Farmers Meet to Choose Di-
rectors-Three For South
Carolina

Florence. Jan. "a meeting Of
the organization committee Of the
Tri-State Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation was held in Raleigh, \. c..
January 5, to tabulate the signed
contracts from the three states.
Each state. including Virginia,
North Carolina and South Caro-
lima will be entitled to three direc-
tors, one of which will be ap-
pointed by Governor Cooper. This
state vas divided into two districts
by counties, as follows:
District No l. Florence. Dillon.
Georgetown, Marlboro, Marion and
Horny.
District No. 2, Darlington, Lee,
Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg,
Berkeley. Dorchester, Bamberg,
Edgefeld, Orangeburg, Saluda,
Lexington, and Aiken. From the
above counties nearly FIVE thou
sand signed contracts have been
sent in and Sabulated, while every
mail brings in new contracts.
On January 80, each county will
hold a meeting Of the signers at
It's court house, at 10 o'clock a. M,
for the purpose of electing dele
gates. These delegates will be elect
ed On Il basis Of one for each mil
lion pounds or majority fraction
thereof under contract. Every
member or signer is supposed to
attend his county meeting on jan
uary 80. On February 2, the dele
gates elected Will convene in their
district meeting point to choose
a director for that district. The
delegates for the first district will
meet in Florence, and the delegates
for the second district will meet in
Sumter.
At the meeting in Raleigh, the
following action was taken: Owing
to pressure brought on the COM
mittee from growers in the three
states who had not yet;had an op-
portunity to sign, the committee
decided to continue the campaign
foT signers on the same basis until
February 2. 1922, when the board
Of directors will assume control y
Those signing prior to Or at the
meetings on January 50 can par
ticipate in the election Of dele
gates. An active campaign drive
will be made from now until Feb
ruary 2, in this state for a rs per
cent sign up.
Any persons needing contracts
for themselves or for treir neigh
Dor can obtain them by dropping
a postal to T. B. Young, Florence.

in Orangeburg

Oranseburg, Jan. 10.-The grand
Jury has returned three true bills
at this term of court against Claude
]. Rast, former superintendent of
education of Orangeburg county,
two charging him with obtaining
money under false pretense and
one with nalfeasance in office
It is stated that an Indictment for
forgery will also be handed to the
grand jury this term. Last Sep
tember the grand jury returned a
true bill against hin. for attempted
criminal assault upol girl stu
dent while he was principal Of East
Middle school.
c.. J. Rast will be called for trial
tomorrow on one of the cases for
obtaining money under false pre-
tense. 1t will be recalled that last
July C. j. Rast entered upon his
duties as superintendent Of educa-
tion for Orangeburg county and
that on July II, at about o'clock,
he was called from his residence
to the store of a. w. Stroman,
where he was severely and pain
fully beaten over the mead and
about the body by three men, and
that the following day he left
Orangeburg county, writing back to
member Of the county board Of
education that he had left Or
angeburg county because he feared
further. trouble from a runor Of
his having attempted to assault a
former girl student Of his and that
in order to save himself probably
further bodily harm or his having
to inflict serious bodily harm upon
others he had left and handed in
his resignation as county superin-
tendent Of education and stated
that he would return to Orange
burg county for this trial.
During the time Mr.. Rast left
Orangeburs and his return to give
bond for his appearance for trial
charges were brought against him
by few citizens of his misconduct
in office some time before when
he was a township commissioner.
Rast declares his innocence OF the
attempted criminal assault charge
and the charges that he obtained
money from the county under false
pretense. malfeasance in office and
of forging a name to county
claim.
Ise has taught school in Orange
burg county for over 80 years and
is a man Of family, with prominent
connections. The prosecution OF
these cases is being conducted by
Solicitor a. J. Hydrick. while Rast
is represented by William c. Wolfe.
