Saving the Day.

A certain clergyman's wife pos
sesses great tact and quickness of wit.
One afternoon the parson observed a
woman whom he much disliked COM
ing up his front steps. Taking refuge
in his library on the second floor, he
left his wife to entertain the visitor.
About half an hour later he came out,
listened carefully on the landing, and
hearing nothing in the living room
below, called to his wife:
"Harriet, has that old bore gomez"
The disliked person was still in the
living room but the minister's wife
proved quite equal to the occasion,
for she called back. eyes, dear, she
went long ago. Mrs. Smith is here
now"

fore the supreme court in the parole
cases. the case of Israel Miller of
Chester, appellant, VS.. the state, re-
spondent, was argued before the

One of the most interesting Of

Is Credited With
Miraculous Cure
Gafney Man Has Singular Expert
ence While at Bat Cave.
(Spartanburg Herald)

'Gaffney, Oct. 25.-A citizen of
Gaffney had very curious expert
ence at Bat Cave, N. c., recently. He
had been suffering for months from
chronic sore on one of his limbs,
the doctors being unable, according
to his statement, to give him relief.
While sojourning at Bat Cave, a
storekeeper there told him that there
was man somewhere in the noun
tains who could cure him without
medicine of any kind, but that
neither he nor any of the people in
the community knew where he lived;
he also said that no one knew his
right name, as he used more than one
name, and that he always went on
foot, in fact was never known to ride.
One day, according to the citizen,
he was sitting in this mans store
when ragged looking mountaineer
came into the building, and the citi-
zen was informed that this was the
man who could heal his sore. The
storekeeper told the man that the
citizen was suffering from a chronic
sore. and that he wished him to heal
same ~--
'Do you believe in God?" asked
the man.
81 do," answered the citizen, "but
you are not God"
'fThat is true" answered the man,
"but if you believe in God, can heal
your sore."
The citizen said he had absolute
ly no faith in the mans power, but
told him to go ahead after he said he
would use no medicine. The man then
made the sign Of the cross on the
sore after moment of silent prayer,
and although he had been suffering
acutely, the pain left Immediately,
and the sore was soon healed. When
the man started to leave the citizen
called to him, stating that he wished
to pay him for what he had done, but
without answering or stopping the
man went on his way. The citizen
who made the foregoing statement is
reliable in every respect and looks
upon his cure as miraculous.

IN THE SHADE OF
THE SUNFLOWER

The Calhoun Times is booster of
diversified farming. 1t is an un-
wavering believer in the doctrine of
reasonable boycott on cotton. 1t
wants, above all things, this COM
munity and county to hit the trail
of prosperity again. 1t is coming
slowly. Mr.. John R. Herlong has
been hauling sunfower seed to St.
Matthews and to The Shep Pearls
tine Wholesale Co. We asked him
about it. He said he planted Is
acres of his poorest land and knew
nothing about the details of the max
ing. Used no fertilizer and worked
it only once. Put the rows 5 feet
wide when they should have been 3
IL. In spite of these handicaps he
made more money out of the sun
flower crop than his cotton. Has sold
over 200 dollars worth at the price
of 80 dollars per ton. He believes he
can easily make ton to the acre next
year. Charlie staley, Jr., told us he
had also planted the crop to a linn
tied extent. Mr.. "Tump" Wacter of
the same (Advance) community
rolled in Thursday afternoon with a
huge truck load of peanuts for the
same wholesale company.
1t is a great pleasure to see and
hear about these things. The people
who have cut the biggest swath, as
rule, in cotton farming are the ones
who have hurt themselves the worst
and made innocent people squeal the
loudest. There is no hope for the all
cotton Ephraims who will not learn.
Their days are numbered. Their oc-
cupation is too uncertain and risky.
Let US go forward like sensible peo-
Times.

COTTON BEING HELD
State Warehouse Commissioner Com
ments on Matter.

Columbia, Oct. 31.-Announcing
that s14,OOO,O00 worth of cotton
had been added to the stock IN
State warehouses in October, which
he declared an indication that farm
ers of this State-ar not selling their
product now, J. Clifton Rivers, State
warehouse commissioner, todayissued
q statement, in which he made plans
for extending the operations of the
State warehouse to receiving all non
perishable farm products, and pro-
ducts that are made so by canning or
other process.
The State warehouses are now
receiving for storage grain, peas,
velvet beans and other products,
which according to Mr.. Rivers state
~ment, can be stored and receipted for
as effectually as cotton.
ttIn the near future, 1.-THE statement
goes on 1.-The commissioner expects to
put on a special Inspector for this
work, who will be able to develop
plans to carry out the law as recently
enacted, enlarging the scope of the
State warehouse activities so as to
include any farm product which by
it's nature is non-perishable. This
plan will work in connection with
agencies now instituted in this State
for diversified agriculture and be a
part in the plan for improving the
marketing organizations of the State
The system is working together with
the Cotton Growers Cooperative AS
sociation in this State in the storing
of cotton at their assembling points
and properly receipting and caring
for it until needed for concentration
and sale. This gives the association
the benefit of the State receipts

ance their organization and also
gives them the benefit of the State

MHLe is Free
Pending Appeal

Columbia, oct. 30.-COnSlderaDle DIE
interest throughout South Carolina
attaches to the outcome Of the con-
test between Governor Harvey, chief
executive and law enforcement Of
fcer, and the courts of the state in
two recent cases. In one the COVER
nor announces that he has been de-
feated, at least so far as immediate
results go, but in the other he is
pushing his side vigorously.
One of the cases is against E. N.
Mittle, convicted of killing j. H.
Patterson, an engineer at Rowes-
vile, in Orangeburg county, in Nov
ember, 1920. Mittle was sentenced to
serve nine years, but because of legal
maneuvers he is at liberty and the
governor stated that he is confident
it will be two years or may be three
years or more before the United
States court can consider the case,
due to it's congested docket.
In the Mittle case an appeal was
made to the supreme court and the
verdict of the lower court was sus-
tanned, in two separate decisions.
A motion for rehearing was then
refused by the supreme court. In
August, last, Judge Mauldin sign
ed an order of the supreme court for
ninety days, on petition setting
forth that Mittle, intended to appeal
to the United States supreme court.
The governor, however, Immediately
ordered Mittle arrested.
Appeals were then made to the
governor for temporary release
of Mittle, that he might arrange
his private affairs. These the gov,
ernor refused, taking the position
that he had had twenty-one months
from the time or his sentence. Nit
tie then moved before Associate JUS
tice Watts, of the supreme court
under the exparte proceedings, to be
released under bond, and the bail was
granted, bond being fixed in the
amount of $4,000, and he recently
left the penitentiary. Mittle is said
to be a wealthy man.
In another case the governor has
taken his contest with circuit judge
to the supreme court on appeal. This
is the Reed Shaw, case, of Anderson.
Shaw was under parole. Governor
Harvey ordered his parole revoked,
but when the chief executive ordered
him to be brought back to the state
penitentiary, habeas corpus proceed
ings stopped him, and Judge Prince,
of Anderson, ordered Shaw released.
The governor had received reports
that Shaw was violating the law,
thereby breaking the condition iof the
parole. Shaw, it is said, was armed
when arrested. The governor ordered
the sheriff to arrest Shaw. The judge
ordered the sheriff to release him.
The governor appealed the case to the
supreme court.
There is considerable demand for
changes in the criminal laws, where
by to prevent the up-setting of the or
ders of the chief law enforcement
office and of the court by tricks at law
or appeals from various decisions OF
various judges.

WHY I GO TO CHURCH

The need of the hour is not more fac
tories or materials, not more railroads
or steamships, not more armies or ma
Vies, but rather more education based
on the plain teachings of Jesus. The
prosperity Of our country depends on the
motives and purposes of the people.
These motives and purposes are direct
ed only in the right course through re-
ligion. In spite of their imperfections,
this is why 1 believe in our churches.
and why l am a great optimist on their
future.
We stand at the cross roads. We must
choose between God and Mammon. Ma
terialism is undermining our civiliza-
ton as IL has undermined other civiliza-
tions. Unless we heed the warning in
time and get back to the real funda-
mentals, we must fall even as the civil
cations of Egypt, Greece and Rome fell
and for the same reason.
Statistics of every nation indicate that
true religion is the power necessary for
the development of it's resources, and
for it's successful continuation. The chal-
lenge goes out to every man to support
his church. to take an active part in the
religious life OF his community, to live
according to the simple principles upon
which this. the greatest country in the
world, was founded three hundred years
ago. Roger w. Babson.
