wEEvIL EXPERIMENT STATION
Some Pertinent Remarks About the
Proposition.

OOTnC TCIIiICHI nSiioINo NbSdh wv
Proposition.
Fort Mill Times, Nov. 80.
The whole scheme to establish a boil
weevil experiment station at Florence
with alleged experts" in charge to
give the farmers advice as to the most
effective way to fight the weevil is
bottomed upon the idea of increasing
the power of the college behind it and
Of providing easy jobs with good sal
aries for lot Of men who will do
practically nothing to earn the money
they are paid, because there will be
nothing they can do. So far as York
county is concerned, her members Of
the legislature already have received
an expression of the people on boil
weevil experts" The subject was dis
cussed in the campaign last August
and one of the candidates on whom a
fight was made because he refu5el to
fritter away the taxpayers money by
agreeing to the employment for the
county of one Of these experts" was
elected Neither the Columbia State
nor the Spartanburg Herald, both ad-
yocating the establishment Of the eX-
pertinent station at Florence, has Of
fered a supportable reason why the
legislature should make an appropria-
tion for it, The proposition is one Of
many which has been hatched by COL
legc authorities and others who are not
interested, even in these trying times,
in keeping down the peoples taxes. For
the city papers to undertake to COM
pare the necessity for the services of
doctor for the man who is i'll with
the call for boil weeVil experiment
station in South Carolina is poor rea-
soning, to say the most that can be
said for il. Admittedly, as its name
implies, the only thing the station at
Florence could do would be to expert
ment. Every cotton farmer in the
state already is experimenting along
the same lines, and is perhaps doing
so quite as intcligcntly as the "cx-
pcrts" could The Times would not
like to give bond that if the experts"
it is proposed TO employ at Florence
should discover n sure cure for the boil
wccvil they would take the public into
their confidence, because it probably
would mean an end Of their jobs. The
whole scheme is more or less fraud,
but such fraud as observant people
have learned to expect the State to be
asked to promote. 1t would be inter-
csting to hear The State explain why
the people arc still being taxed to sup
port the cattle tick eradication work in
certain coast counties of South Caro-
lima after the federal government has
lifted the cattle tick quarantine from
the whole state. The Spartanburg
Herald probably has no information on
the subject.

In Philadelphia, and in evangelical
churches throughout the United States,
the last week has been one of re-
joicing.
1t is n Bible jubilee.
OF the scholars, English and Amer
lean, originally engaged in the re-
vision, not one is living today.
There IS Il difference between the
English and the American versions,
although both bodies of revisionists
worked in harmony and acquiesced in
results fifty years AGO.
Some, they said, were obsolete.
Others were not regarded as fully ex-
prcssive of the meaning intended by
the sacred writer's.

1t was agreed, though, that the
American revision should be published
until the expiration Of a certain num-
Der of years after the English publi-
cation.
Thus it came that the American
standard edition did not appear until
1881, nearly ten years after the Eng
lish.

last year with the American Bible So
ciety, DR.. Parkin says.
Since its organization more than a
hundred years ago and up until few
months since. the society had been its
own publisher.
own building, Bible House, New York
City.
The strike in the printing and press
mems trades compelled it to take
stock of the situation.
Contracts were finally made with
several great publishing houses.
It's own plant was closed perman-
emily after hundred years Of oper-
alton.
All the Bibles now published by this
society are by/outside contract.
The traditions of Bible House and
its memories have disappeared.
The Bible, says DIR. Parkin, is a
great aid to Americanization.
The work is performed unostenta-
tiously by it and almost unconsciously
to the alien.
The society issues what is known
as a diglottic edition.
AS it's namo implies, it is printed in
two. languages.
In one column the verses are in
English. IN the parallel column they
are in the foreigners tongue, whatever
that may be.
Reading the Bible in his own Ian
guage the immigrant begins compar-
ing it with the text in English.
Ultimately he translates in English,
and the first step in his progress as an
American citizen has begun.
While Thomas A. Edison is about
it in the matter of his questionaires
to college men, he might ring in
few queries such as these:
Where is the Quichucan tongue
spoken?
The Tschi, the Temne and the
Dualla?
Who speaks Ibo, Kusaien,, Mare,
Narrinyeri and Pwo-Karen?
If they spoke Ossetinian in the
Caucasus, where do the people dwell
who speak Wotjak?
Yet some of the Scriptures are pub
lished in these languages that range
from West Africa to Siberia, and from
Of the Australian bush lands.
Edward Box and Edgar Fabs Smith,
of this city, arc vice presidents of the

DR.. Talcott Williams, formerly OF
Philadelphia but now of New York, is

Found His Hog.

In ledge" Backs office the other
day several gentlemen were talking
things over. The conversation finally
turned to the tendency of animals to
return TO the haunts in which they
were raised. One man told a story
about taking a cat away from the
place where it was raised in Ycrkvillc
at night. He took it to his home a
mile away and t. next morning bright
and carly the cat had gone back to its
original home.
81 remember" recalled Mr. c. NJ. In
man who was member of the party,
that several years ago ] heard my
brother *. T.. Inman tell about taking
a cat from his home in Bullocks
Creek township over to Hickory Grove.
It was only a snort time until the cat
had found its way back to Bullock3
Creek. And in this connection I'll tell
another story about u hog that got
away from my farm. 1t didn't come
back but | located it although ii had
straycd eight miles or more. Sorc
years ago had a neighbor who didn't
think a lot of me and | wasn't on
terms any more friendly with him. One
morning l missed a hog when the
others came to feed. | remarked to one
of my negroes, Eph Lcech that | sup
posed the neighbor got him hog last
night.
Well some months after that this
negro, Eph Lcech, happened to be out
i'm the vicinity of the home of Mr.. Milt
Jackson in the Beth Shiloh section. lie
recognized there q hog which no was
sure was the hog that / had lost
months before. There were certain
marks on him that the negro could
identify him by. Well Eph told me
about it and the next time | saw Mr..
Jackson asked him about the hog. lie
said that it had come to him as stray
and he had been unable to locate the
owner. He agreed it was my hog, all
right: but ! thought that since he had
fed him and cared for him long time
he was entitled to an interest in him.
We agreed to each take half interest
in him. And the hog, or rather my
part of the hog, finally came back

in Horny County.
MANS EARS ARE Cut WITH A RAZOR
One Man Told to Attend Sunday
School - Another Warned About
Grinding of Too Much Meal.

The following story is from the
Horny Herald of last week concerning
the activities of a secret order recently
organized in that county:
The activities Of wlite robed bands
said to indicate the Ku KluX Klan, so
far as reported in this county to date:
Mace Horn, ears clipped, made to
tell what he knows Of Bailey shooting,
and Granger whisky case.
G. Is. Shelley, taken to a grave yard
and made to knecl. After measuring
him on the ground, he is warned
against several things
]. c.. Granger, warned by a note to
change his way of living.
f. B. Sarvis, warned by means of a
letter 10 go to Sunday school, etc.
j. d. Anderson asked to limit amount
of meal ground each Saturday at his
mill.
1t was on one of the nights of week
before last that masked men, robed in
white went TO the home of Granger,
where Mace Horn was calling and
handled him in a manner which was
only partially explained in the last
issue of The Horny Hecald.
The acts OF the white robcd visitors
did not cease with the Mace Horn in
cident. News Of other instances kept
coming to Conway during last week.
Before detailing the facts, so far as
they have been brought to light, con-
corning the subsequent acts of the
masked figures, members doubtless of
the new secret order known as the Ku
Klux Klan, at least holding out to be
such, the Mace Horn matter will be
again mentioned in order to bring out
some facts that were apparently over
looked before.

Mace Horn Case.

/ mdC6 IIOi " SdoC'
After being taken out, Mace Horn
was asked to tell the truth about the
shooting scrapc in which the Bailcys'
Jim Gibson and his brother, OssieHorn,
| had been concerned, and which was
aired in the court of Horny county, at
one OF the terms of criminal court re-
Gently.
At first he hcsitatcd to say he did
not know much about II, it was some
thing in which he was not concerned
from the way he acted Then, it is
reported, qucstioncrs took out some
tools and laid them down. He took
up a sharp knife, perhaps a razor,
and began cutting Horns ears. Soon
thereafter Horn agreed to tell, and he
has said that he did, and that he
told the truth about who shot Bailey
and what connection Ossic and Jim
Gibson had with it. He was also
questioned about Rob Granger and
! the whisky stilling case, and he says
ne told the truth abOu. that. He was
! then required to come off the bond Of
Jim Gibson and he did. Jim Gibson
at last accounts had left and gone
to North Carolina, it is supposed in
answer to n warning or perhaps be-
cause he feared he could not furnish
another bond. Rob Granger is no
/ longer 10 be found in his usual haunts.
After warning Horn to tell the same
tale in court thereafter that he told
them about the Bailey case and the
Granger case, he was left alone and
then went to Mullins, where he sought
medical attention.
AS above stated there were other
! incidents occurring last week. One
concerned G. Bright Shelley, q son of
/ the late Jim Shelley, and not so far
from the Horn ncighborhood. Here
Shelley lives, on the old home place Of
! his father, with his wife and several
children. His wife is the daughter
of l. p Minccy.
Apparently the same crowd of fifty
!
tOmnblcs, and robcd in white, went to
| S;hcllcys home at about o'clock on
thc night of November 22, raped on
The door, calling Shelley out. When
Shelley was told to go with them he
refused and in his efforts at resistance,
he tore ono Of the robes from a KluXer,
exposing. his face; but he did not
know the man, had never heard the
voices of any Of them, and could not
remember over having seen any of
these mon before. He was OvCrpOwcrcd
one and half or two miles away to
the grave yard. Before proceeding
with him from his home place they
placed a cap over his faCc, completely
him 10y the side of his mothers grave.
Taking off the cap they told him to
behold his mothers glavc. Then he
was made to knccl by the grave and
prayer was held After this he was
made TO lie down by the side Of the
grave and CmhlCms placed at his feet
and at his head. They explained to
him that he had been called out to be
warned on account of drinking, rcck-
less driving on the highways. and
shooting thereon. as well as the use OF
profanc and vulgcr language thereon
and on account Of mistrcatmcrt of his
wife; and they warned him that with
out a change he would be in his grave
soon, or words to That effect. Then he
was taken back home and warned tc
live tn" life of a good citizen as his
father had lived before him.
