DEFENDANT WAS DEAD.
Unusual Incident Occurred Last
Week in Spartanburg.

A rather unusual case came up
before the recorder in Spartanburg
Friday. Ed Tobias had been con-
victed in recorders court and sent
enced to pay 500 OF to serve 80
days. Upon the defendant appeal
ing he was released upon 5000 bond,
double the amount Of the fine. The
time for the appeal expired Friday
morning and the case was called. .
When the case was called A. E.
Hill, counsel for the defendant, said
that he did not have the man in
court, but that two policemen might
be sent for him. He said that it
would be necessary to send two po-
licemen for him. When he gave the
address it was the cemetery. The
man had been dead two weeks.
Demand was made of J. H. Hill,
chief of police, for return of the
bond, but he refused to return it,
claiming, that the man had not been
brought to court as required by the
bond.
The question arises whther the
city can be made to return the bond,
when the defendant dies, pending an
appeal, or if the appeal was aband-
oned. Attorneys present at court
claimed that the supreme court had
ruled in case Of this kind that the
bond should be returned. Until he
gets further orders Chief Hill will
not turn over the bond.

JOIN IN HONORING GRANT.
Members Of Congress Leave as Band
Plays Marching Through Ca

Washington, April 27.-Southern-
ers Joined heartily today in the cele-
hration of the Tooth anniversary OF
the birth of General Grant.
The gray uniform Of Gen. Julius
Carr, of North Carolina, commander
of the United Confederate veterans,
was resplendent in the parade amidst
the blue worn by more than a hun
dred veterans of the Grant Army OF
the Republic.
The marine corps which headed the
parade was commanded by Capt.
Thomas P. Cheatham, of South Caro-
lima. The Sons of Confederate Vete-
rans, which fell into line behind the
veterans of the Union armies, was
commanded by its adjutant, Frank
e. Conway, of Alabama.
During the unveiling southern con-
gressional delegations ]olneo In the
ceremonies and the impression was
that the representatives of the south
were glad to honor the man whose
army of 140, 200 received the surrend-
er of General Lee's> 5000 effective
riflemen at Appomatox. 1t was gen.
orally said that Grant was magnani-
NOUS in dealing with the overpower-
ed army of the south, and that it was
fitting that southerners should on this
occasion do him honor,
There was just one, discordant note.
Towards the conclusion of the cere-
monies one of the bands struck up
Marching Through Georgia." Gen.
eral Carr was noticed to fdget uneasi-
ly but he stood his ground. The
South Carolina congressional delega-
tion, however, left the field though
unostentatiously.
1t is understood that the playing CT
this tune which eXtolls the burning OF
a southern state was not according to
programme.

Killing Birds Hand-
capsBoN WeeuilFight


greatly handicapped itself in it's
fight against the boil weevil by the
wholesale slaughter of song birds, ac-
cording to T. Gilbert Pearson, presi-
dent of the Associated Audubon So
cieties who returned last week from
South Carolina, where he organized
a school campaign to arouse senti-
ment against killing songbirds.
Heavy mortality among the 20
most numerous kinds of songbirds
has nearly wiped out many species
in South Carolina said Pearson.
while they feed on insects and do
not specialize on the boil weevil, a
single song bird will destroy hum
dreds of weevils.
Robbins Killed for Eating.
"The value of these birds in check
ing the multiplication of insects is
thoroughly understood all through
the north, where the laws protect
ing birds are observed. In most
sections of the north a farmer would
prosecute anyone killing songbirds
on his lands. But in many parts OF
the south, the farmer, his sons and
the hired men kill birds constant
ly, eating the robbins and some Of
the other larger varieties and shoot
ing many of the smaller ones for
what they consider sport"
"South Carolina has been heavily
hit by the boil weevil. The ruin OF
many farmers has carried down
banks, the downfall of which in turn
ruined hundreds of investors. At the
same time there was no sentiment at
all on the subject of saving songbirds,
which would be most useful allies OF
the cotton grower, if they were per-
mitted to live in peace.
"When I was in Texas, for sew
eral weeks last December, I noticed
the same thing. The threatened ex-
tinction of songbirds by constant
shooting went hand in hand with the
growth of the boil weeVll
into a scourge and vast
injury to crops by many
other types of insects which would be
held down if songbirds were let
alone. Negro farmers are especially
active in killing songbirds.
Lectures on the usefulness Of
songbirds to the farmer will be held
in all the schools of North Carolina.
Organizations have been formed in
several cities to promote bird clubs,
especially among children. The build
ing of bird houses and fountains,
common all over the north for the
protection and increase Of birds vlu-
able to the farmer, is almost un-
known in the south"
Pearson will go to Georgia and
Florida next week by request to
start similar campaigns there. A
general crusade for the protection OF
songbirds will later be organized all
through the south.
In most southern states songbirds
are now nominally protected by laws
imposing heavy fines for killing, but
in most states the laws are totally un-
enforced. In ssome sections game
wardens are unknown, Mr.. Pearson
said.

VISITORS TO PALESTINE.
Americans Crowd in Large Numbers
and Are Good Spenders.


and Are Good Spenders.
American tourists are literally oc-
cupying Palestine this season. Two
thousand of them have already visit
ed the country and 5000 more are
expected to arrive.
It is estimated that Palestinians
will as a result benefit financially by
a sum of not less than 100000.
Every employe in the government
of Palestine from Sir Herbert Sam
uel, the high commissioner, down
to the humblest railway porter is
making It his special business to
please the Americans. Special trains
are run for their convenience, pri-
vate homes are turned over for their
accommodation, because of the
scarcity of hotels and even private
cars are placed at their disposal. :
Government agents are also de-
tailed to see that no undue aQVant-
age is taken of these welcome visi-
tors, so that returning home will
carry with them only words OF
praise.
The short stay Of the Americans
in the Holy Land is the only fault
that the natives find with their
guests. They feel that five or six
days is insufficient time in which to
see all the historical places.
To prove their point they cite an
incident that occurred last year
while a company of tourists was Wis
iting in Nazareth. One American
was heard to ask an accompanying
friend the name of the place they
were in, the friend quickly looked at
a schedule, he was carrying, then at
his watch and replied: 1T is now
ten O'Clock so it must be Nazareth.

RESISTANT LEAF STRAINS
REDUCE ROOT ROT DAMAGE.

Lexington, KY, Root rot OF tobac-
co which causes Kentucky growers
heavy losses each year. can be checked
by the use of disease-resistant strnins
Of lear, according to results obtained
during the summer just past by 46
Fayette county farmers who cooper
ated with County Agent W. r. Gabbert
and the extension division OF the Col
lege OF Agriculture in growing resist
ant strains Of hurley by the side OF
common varieties on their farms. Re
suits obtained by the Fayette county
farmers are in line with those being
obtained by more than $50 other farm
ers scattered over the hurley and dark
| tobacco sections OF the state who also
conducted similar demonstrations.
More than so per cent. o fthe 46 Fay
cite county demonstrators have shown
their confidence in the resistant varie-
ties by saving seed from them for next
years paintings.
In many OF the Fayette demonstra-
tons, the resistant varieties not only
made more rapid growth than the
common varieties but also were more
uniform. In each OF the demonstra-
lions, the resistant and common varie-
ties were grown side by side on the
same field and given the same treat
ment-
In 20 out OF the IS cases, plants
from the resistant strains averaged
from four to IL inches taller than
those from common varieties while
the common variety made the fastest
| growth In two cases. There was no
noticeable difference in the rate OF
growth in "a Of the demonstrations.
Plants from the resistant varieties
| showed more uniformity than those
| from the common varieties in IS OF the
demonstrations while the variety COM
monty grown showed most uniformity
in two cases. Twenty-six OF the DEM
onstrations failed to reveal any diff
ference in the uniformity OF the two
types. However, it was found that
where no difference could be noted in
the rate Of growth and uniformity OF
the two types that the demonstrations
were conducted on either new blue
grass sod or ground that had been In
grass, clover or timothy for several
years. In each Of these cases observa-
lions indicated that the soil was not
infested with root rot. This finding
was In line with the fact that root rot
is most apt to be present in soils
where tobacco has been grown for two
or more years in succession.
