to all interested is most pressing.
Cotton Price Recommended
After thorough discussion of the
average cost Of cotton growing the
1922 cotton crop, as ascertained by
the American Cotton association; the
present shortage of cotton supplies
and the prevailing low spot market
values offered the growers, the COM
mittee unanimously recommended
that spot cotton be held off the mar
kets for an average of all grades of
so 1-2 cents per pound, as fair and
reasonable price. The cotton grow
ers throughout the state and south;
and all cooperative marketing asso-
Citations, are urged not to sacrifice
the staple at prices less than the cost
of production plus a reasonable pro-
fit. 1t was the consensus Of opinion
that if war starts in Europe, the
price of cotton will advance to very
high figures.

COLE BLEASE TO
DEFEND FAIRIES
Three Indictments for Murder Out
Again Farics, With Fourth
Pending
Charlotte Observer.


Charlotte Observer.
York, S. c., Oct. 5.-That Cole L.
Blease of Columbia, former governor
OF South Carolina and noted GRIMM
al attorney, has definitely been re-
tained to assist in the defense Of VIII
liam C Faries, whose rampage at
Glover q month ago claimed toll OF
four lives, became known here today.
Blesae will be associated in the case
with Thomas T. McDow Of York, wEo
was retained by the defendants
family shortly after the tragedy. Mr..
Mellow has the reputation of being
one of the ablest and most successful
criminal lawyers Of South Carolina
and IS connected with virtually every
merder case tried here.
That the battle between the legal
talent when the case is tried here at
the term of court convening Novem-
Der 20 will not be one-sided is evil
denced by the fact that ]. K. Henry
of Chester. the veteran solicitor Of
the sixth ait, will have the assist
ance of john G. Carpenter of Gas
tonia, N. c., pne of CASTOR ccunty's
most resourceful and successful az
torneys. 1t is also understood that
C. NJ. Austin of Gaston,a will be as
sociated with the prosecution, his SER
vices having been secured by :: fra
ternal order of which Claude John
son and Fred Taylor, two of the VIC
tins, were members. NJ. Carpenter
and j. NJ. Taylor, father o. thre2 Of
The dead. wh5 Las simce>>:aovr3 1loni
Clover to Gas+onia, were in YORK a
few days ago IA the interest, o. the
case.
A true bill was found by the York
county grand jury at the September
term Of court against FAIRIES IN each
OF three indictments for murder
with a fourth indictment pending.
The grand jury passed on the indlct-
ments charging FAIRIES with the nur-
der of. @Glaude Iohasan- Erred TaYlor
and Miss Leila Taylor, the indictment
for the killing of Newton Taylor not
having been presented to that body
before it adjourned.
When the case was called for trial
Thomas F. Mellow moved for con-
tinuance to the November term OF
court on the ground that he had not
had time to prepare the defense. lie
pointed out that it was then only SIX
davs after the killing and that ne
had not had an opportunity to con-
fer with his client since being re-
tajned, FAIRIES being in the state
nenitertiarv in Columbia for safe
keeping. Mr. Mellow advised Judge
Peurifoy that IN some OF the caSe'
against FAIRIES he saw no defense eA-
cept on the ground of insanity and
that he had been without the oppof-
tunitv of having FAIRIES examined by
alienists. He also alleged that the
state of public sentiment just tneh'
famed by newspaper publicity, m;gh'
be prejudicial to a calm conslaera-
ton Of the case.
Judge Peurifoy granted the motion
for a continuance. saying ne tnougi'
il possessed merit in the light OF the
argument advanced by the defense S
counsel.
FAIRIES IS still in the state peniten-
tiarv. where he was hurried few
hours after the killing as a precau-
tionary measure. He is taciturn and
moody and has nothing to say on any
subject to those who come in contact
with him,> according to information
reaching here.

LESSON IN GENTLE BRAKlNG
No Quicker or Certain Way Of Sending
Tire to Junkman Than to Stop
With Jerk.

Apply the brakes considerably and
the car will soon show Its gratitude,
because gentle brake application re-
duces the strain on tires, wheels,
spri Is and other parts. II the
brakes are applied with full force at
least one, II not both rear wheels are
likely to lock. and In sliding along the
ground a noticeable amount of rubber
Is scraped from the tire at the point
where Il contacts with the ground.
There Is no quicker o more certain
way of sending tires quickly to a rub
bish heap or the junkman. Harsh
brake application wears the brake lin
ing unduly and pulls and racks the
whole car. Much greater economy will
be obtained and much less trouble will
be experienced II the brakes are used
ms sparing'y "a possible.

Says Prof. BrokaW.
FLOW or CURRENT RETARDED
After Corrosion Has Formed Best Way
to Get Rid Of II Is to Scrspe the
Terminals Until There Is
Bright Lead Finish.

Corroded terminals are the chief
source of battery trouble, according
to ii. Clifford Brokaw, technical direc-
tor OF the West Side Y. NJ. G. A. Auto
mobile schools. lie explains that
occasionally the self-starter will not
work while the lights, horn and igni
ton operate smoothly.
This condition may be traced he
adds. ito corroded or poorly fitting
battery terminals which will only al
low a sufficient amount of current to
pass to operate the lights and horn.
As the starting motor takes a larger
amount of current, the resistance may
be great enough TO prevent IL from
operating.
To Remove corrosion.
"Corrosion Is formed by the action
of the electrolyte or acid in the bat
terry. After it has formed, the most
satisfactory way TO get rid of II is to
scrape the terminals until there Is a
bright lead finish. Washing the ter
minals with ammonia or some other
alkaline solution will neutralize any
acid that ma be present and prevent
c%orrosion. When such washing Is
done, care should be taken that none
Of this solution gets into the battery.
after the terminals have been
scraped and the parts assembled, care
should be taken to see that the ter
minals make contact for the full area
of their surface. A firm and full con-
tact Is required to supply the mount
of current for the starting motor.
Some motorists coat the terminals
with yaseline or other grease to pre-
vent the acid from coming in contact
with the joint.
Lights Burn Out Entirely.
III the corroslon becomes too great,
or IL the contact from any other rea-
son becomes poor. the lights are apt
to fare up to excessive brightness, and
IL the contact Is so poor that no cur
rent can pass or II the wire should
become disconnected from the bat
terry. the lights will burn out entirely
In most systems. This Is because the
generator which charges the battery
is designed to deliver sufficient cur
rent TO charge the battery at low
speed, and when the engine Is speed
ed up II will deliver more than Is nee
essary. The system of regulating
the voltage In most cases Is such that
the battery plays an important part
In keeping the voltage from rising to
a point where II will burn out the
lights and damage other parts.
Usually about the only attention a
battery requires Is to keep the plates
covered with an electrolyte by adding
distilled water. Water containing
minerals might damage the battery or
at least interfere with Its proper ae-
ton"

That ordinary soap should not
be used on the highly polished
surface of the body of the car.

free alkali or lye which enables

loose. but, at the same time, in
jures the vanished surface and
wears off the attractive gloss

The best method is to use q

so that the flow of water comes
out slowly and does not tear the

to avoid scratching the finish.
