EIGHTH CONTINENT
Strong Reason For Believing it Lies
Within Arctic Circle.

One of the eight continents Of the
globe remains undiscovered awaiting
new Columbus.
Such at least is the opinion Of Capt.
Raold Amundsen, discoyerer of the
South Pole and the greatest explorer
living.
In Asia, Europe and Africa human
knowledge started. These three great
bodies of land were known from
earliest recorded history and they still
retain the greatest density of popu-
lation. Then came the discovery of
South and North America. With the
knowledge that the earth was round it
was only step until some daring
navigator should sight the shores of
Australia.
Here were six continents accounted
for. Several hundred years elapsed be-
fore the seventh was found. In the
memory of many now living the first
explorers sighted the dreary shores of
the Antarctic land whose interior of
white mystery never has been pene-
trated. No man knows what riches
may be locked in its icy hills awaiting
the first conner.
The eighth continent remains. Capt.
Amundsen is determined that he shall
be it's discoverer. 1t lies according to
the best deductions of oceanographers
hn n
ocean surrounding the North Pole.
No man can tell what value to hu-
manity may come from its discovery.
The progress of science is rapid. Every
year new methods are found of utiliz-
ing apparent waste. 1t would require
some courage to say that if the in
trepid Norwegian sights this land it
will not be one of the most important
events in history.
Many miles from the European shore
of the Arctic there is a great island OF
rocks and ice-Spitzbergen. Its loca-
ton has been known for over GEN.
tury. Before the war it belonged to
Germany, but no great effort was made
to discover it's resources. The world
accepted as final the opinion that no
possible value could attach to such n
| barren land Map-makers alone re-
membered that it existed. When Ger
many's colonies were taken away after
the war the pcacemakers nearly for
got the existence Of this Arctic island.
Yet eventually its resources may save
the life of European civilization. 1t
contains an enormous amount Of coal
which can be mined almost without
expense.
For centuries the existence of Green
land. off the northeastern shore Of
| North America, has been known. EN-
cept for some unimportant chemicals

WHIPPLE VS.. LODGE.
Opposition Forces In Massachusetts
GrappIe In Great Fiqht.


Sherman L. Whipple is going after
Senator Lodge with gloves off. The
intimations are that big stakes are be-
ing played for-that, if Whipple can
defeat Lodge, the Democratic party
will put him up to defeat Harding, or
whoever the Republicans nominate
next time for the presidency.
Mr.. Whipple says that he has no il
lusions about that contest-that he is
aware that Senator Lodge represents
in the state the power Of recognized
money interests" and that "thcy will
fight to the last ditch to retain him"
Mr.. Whipple is not yet the nominee
of the Democrats fo- the senate. But
he disposes of his opponent for the
nomination, William a. Castor, in
these words: Can we expect that VIC
tory will come to us if all that we Of
fer is same thing under a different
guise or the Did master under a new
name? Whar would it amount II to
ask the people to replace Senator
Lodge by one whose instinct, training
and associations would lead him to
think and feel on the vital issues which
affect the plain people just as Senator
Lodge thinks and feels, and whose in
stinct and inclination would lead him
to do and to vote regarding those great
issues Just as Senator Lodge has done
and voted?"
Returning to Senator Lodge, he de-
clarcs:
HE has been leading backward and
not forward. He has been leading
against the movement of the times and
not with it. He has been leading di-
rectly against the great swing of pro-
gressive principles. He has been lead
ing back to the old days, to the days
of prosperity of tariff-fed trusts and
industrial serfdom, the days when
prosperity was reckoned by millions of
profits to the capitalists and not by
the standards Of living and we'll being

going forward. Hence the revolt the
confusion, the unrest, the bitterness,
the resentment, the crying sense of in
justice. Hence the defeat of the Re-
publican leaders that seems to puzzle
them so."
Mr.. Whpplc talks we'll. He has
commanded to himself and to his cam
didacy the attention of the country
and the progress and result of his
course in his attempt to defeat the
great Massachusetts senator and ac-
knowledgcd Republican leader will bc
watched with the most intense inter
est.-Augusta Chronicle.

Philip A. Sellers, an old soldier 81,
years old. who lives just outside the
town limits of Ruby, was on Thursday
afternoon severely beaten, it is alleged
by his son-in-law, Ben Burch, who,
with his wife and son, has made his
home with Mr.. Sellers since the death
of Mrs. Sellers a few years ago. Mr..
Sellers has been an invalid for sever
al years, having been wounded by g.
shell while serving in the Confederate
army and was only able to move about
the place by the aid Of his walking
cane which. it is said, Burch snatched
from the old gentleman and then used
the stick as weapon to beat up the
old man. Burch is about so years old
and has been arrested and is now in
the Chesterfield Jail.

i Francis KluXen, 3rd, aged 10, was
acquitted by jury at Morristown, n.
j. last Friday of charge of murder
ing 11-ycar-old Janette Lawrence, at
Madison, last October. Several spec
tators applauded the verdict, but court
officials quickly restored silence. In
formed that he was free, the boy has
tened to his parents and together they
left the court hurriedly by rear exit
to a waiting automobile in which they
were driven to the KluXen home in
Madison. Counsel for young KluXen
said afterward that he hoped the ver-
dict of acquittal would quiet the pub
lie clamor against the boy by the peo-
ple of Madison, inasmuch as "the best
jury Essex county could produce" had
found him not guilty.

Verdict of Error.

Introducing his argument for a new
trial for Zimmerman, Thos. +. Nc
Dow, Esq, associate counsel, said it
was not his purpose TO challenge the
motives of the jury in returning the
verdict it did; but that he did insist
it was a verdict of error. He said
that he could conceive of n possible
verdict of manslaughter, but he could
not conceive of verdict of murder
There was no evidence in the testi
mony, he argued, of the deliberate
preparation of Zimmerman to kill
Huggins. The testiE ony showed that
Zimmerman came to Huggin's home
upon the latter's invitation.
Mr.. Mellow argued that the testi-
mony showed the dead man, Higgins,
had sunk to depths of depravity lower
than in any instance recorded in sa-
cred or profauc history. He compli-
mented the judge on his charge to the
jury, saying that the court was fair
and that there was no error of law in

been manager of the Hawthorn base
ball team at Glover, has been made an
attractive offer to manage the strong
Kings Mountain, N. c., semi-profes-

Sees Great Country.
Walter B. Moore, carrier on Glover
No. l, has returned from trip to Nor
man, Richmond county, N. c., where
he spent a week. Mr.. Moore was much
impressed with agricultural conditions
that he saw on his automobile trip
from Glover to Norman and return.
Richmond county farmers, he said, are
giving much attention to the cultiva-
tion of peach orchards and the peach
crop is unusually fine this year, while
the fruit is bringing big prices. The
cotton crop in Richmond county is
further advanced than it is in York
county and while the boil weevil has
made its appearance, the. farmers do
not appear to be greatly worried about
him.

Preparing for Fall Tomatoes.

r. E. (Bob) Farris of Glover No. 1,
one of the leading truck growers in
York county. is going to try to make
a big hit with late tomatoes this fall.
ut Is my intention to set out $4,000
tomato plants within the next few
weeks if the weather will permit" said
Mr.. Farris yesterday. $50 far l have
set out about 1000 and if the ground
is not too wet believe will get out
the $4,000. If l have any luck l will
be able to supply big section of this
country with tomatoes from about No
vember until frost. / had good luck
with fall tomatoes last year and sold
hundreds of dollars worth in Glover,
Gastonia and other markets. The only
trouble was that l didn't have enough
of them"
There's one point essential to keep
in mind to have success with toma-
toes" said Mr.. Farris, "and that is
that you mustn't put them in the same
ground tw,"e. The ground that have
been using for summer tomatoes l
propose to put in Irish potatoes now.
One must also be very careful about
the kind of soil in which tomatoes are
set. A sandy soil won't do. 1t causes
the plants to wilt. A sort Of mulatto
soil is the best. i have found by using
that kind of soil I have never been
bothered with wilt"
