come and dance"
Said Chief O'Brien, when Informed
of the remark:
81 haven't received complete re-
port of this case, but YOU can tell the
people that / never had her at my
home, never heard of her, and never
heard of her dance.

in 1920. For every million tons Of
coal produced, the fatality rate for
the past year was 399, while for
1920 it was 3.52. Paradoxical as it may
seem, it is believed that tre idleness
of the mines during much of the year,
while resulting in fewer lives being
lost, nevertheless was partly respon-'
sible for the increased accident ratio
on the basis of production. Under
ground operations tend to become
more hazardous during periods OF
idleness, because of increased likeli-
hood of roof falls, gas accumulations,
ETC., as well as lessening OF the
morale of the worSmen, resulting in
more frequent accidents when the men
return to work.
Most of the fatalities were, as
usual, due to falls of roof and side,
and haulage accidents The year was
remarkably free from laree disasters,
there being but five accidents killing
five or more men each, resulting in a
total of "a deaths. These deaths con-
stituted but II per cent of the years
total of 1878 fatalities, lower record
than for any year during the past
decade.

PLANT NO
COTTON FOR
one YEAR
Senator Smith ReneWs
His Proposal That
This Plan be Adopt
ed to Exterrninate
Boil Weevil in the
United States

Washington, Sept. 5.-The pro-
lposal for one year suspension of
cotton planting in the United States
as a means of eliminating the boil
weeyil was suggested in the sem
ate today by Senator Smith (Dem-
ocraD Of South aroiina, who pre-
dicted wholesale abandonment OF
cotton farms. throughout the
South unless governmental action
were taken to aid in destruction
of the parasite.
The South Carolina senator an
Inounced he had written to the CHIEF
entomologist of the department OF
agriculture, asking that a study be
made to determine whether years
layof in cotton growing would
eradicate the weevil. He said the
entomologist had expressed in a
telephone conversation today the
belief that such action would re-
suit in destroying the pest.
Senator Smith announced that as
soon as he received the report OF
the entomologist he proposed to
Introduce resolution calling for
the cooperation as far as consti-
tnuonally possible of the federal
government in the stopping OF
planting for one year SO that there
may be tomorrow for the cotton
Industry"
Unless this heroic remedy is ap-
Piled continued the speaker, "it
will be only a question of a few
years before. the supply of cotton
will be inadequate to meet the do
mestic needs. much less the world
! demand"
The present loss to the country
from the, ravages of the weevil
amounts to 100000, 900 a year.
Senator Smith said. He suggested
that the federal and state govern
ments should. join in paying the
deficit oecasioned by the growers in
the one. years lay off, declaring
that If would be. cheaper for the
country in the end. even if it had
to appropriate the-amount to de-
fray the expenses caused by the
suspension Of cotton growing for
one year.
Senator Smith suggested that
once the weeyi1 was eliminated
the federal government could and
should resort to zoning the Rio
Grande border for a distance OF
100 miles, in which no cotton could
!, be planted. expressing belief that
this practice would effectively stop
the insects migration.
Pointing out that production last
year was. only little more than
half of normal and estimating thu,
this years crop would not ex-
ceed 100000 bales. Senator Smith
asked how long the nation cou &
expect to maintain the balance OF
trade in its favor if its export OF
cotton fell away. The export de-
naand, he continued, is; around g.
600, 600. bales, with the domestic
demand exceeding that slightly
On the basis of this years crop
he added, the. country would be

The plea of the Dillon county

treasury of the state committee,
was partially granted by the cen

gressional race in that county, and
paying for the newspaper adyer-
tising. The Dillon committee said
that all county Offices We're fille.i

pense Of the second race and the
treasury is depleted.
