and middleman will put more than
100000 this year into the pockets
of is leading stockmen and ranchers

sible was explained Saturday by c.

posed of.
"Last year at the indianapolis
sale we had $500 buyers and Gov.
Warren T. McCray bought the first
car load" Mr.. Easterling said.
"From producer direct to the feed
ers, which is our trade slogan, tells
the whole story" Mr., Easterling
said 1--WE simply eliminate the
Spectator and middlemen. We sell
direct by mail and public auction
sales.

FRIENDLY SUIT SETTLED.
Bonds Can Be Sold Without Being
Voted On by Citizens.

Orangeburg. April 2O.-The su-
preme court has just handed down a
decision in the case of William V.
Zeigler, taxpayer, against w. B.
Thompson and the other members
of the board OF trustees of the city
schools. In this case the plaintiff
sought to enjoin the trustees from
issuing and selling 100000 of school
bonds to erect school buildings. The
case was a friendly suit and intended
to test and settle the question as to
whether a school district could issue
and sell school bonds upon the au-
thority of an act of the Legislature
without first submitting the question
to the voters in an election Some
doubted this and the bond house
would not buy the bonds until the
question was settled. Judge Bowman
held the bonds valid without submit
ting same to the people. The supreme
court has sustained Judge Bowman.
The trustees will now sell the bonds
and proceed to erect the school build
ing for the colored people. Messrs.
Wolfe & Berry represented the plain
tiff, while Julian S. Wolfe, Esq, ap-
peared for the school trustees in the
matter.

accident which happened near here
Wednesday afternoon Of last week,
when Joe Garrick, son Of Jake Gar
rick, touched off a dynamite cap and
in the explosion that followed lost
three fingers from his left hand and
two from the right, besides rece1v-
ing painful burns. Joe is fifteen
years old and lives with his parents
about two miles out of town on what
is known as the "Dowling' place. Mr.
Garrick had put the dynamite caps
on the sill over door, thinking that
the smaller children could not reach
them and the larger ones would
know better. Joe, it is said, took the
cap in his left hand and was picking
at it with knife in his right hand,
when the explosion occurred. DR.. c.
H. Able, family physician, was rush
ed to the boys home, and he reports
a very painful and serious condition
of the wounds.

MRS. MOSS HEADS FEDERATION.
Orangebulg Woman Elected Presi-
dent of Clubs.

Columbia, April 22.-Mrs. Adam
Moss, of Orangeburg, was yesterday
elected president of the South Caro-
lima Federation of Women's Clubs
succeeding Mrs. S. o. Plowden, of
Statesburg, who, with year more OF
her term still to run, rendered her
resignation. The result of the elec-
ton was announced Immediately be-
fore adjournment for luncheon, but
Mrs. Moss declined the Office, de-
claring it would be impossible for
her to serve. However, while the
luncheon given the clubwomen by
the chamber of commerce was in pro-
gress, it was announced that Mrs.
Moss had been persuaded to recon-
slider and that she would accept the
election. Mrs. Moss's change of
mind was brought about by the gain
ing of her husbands consent to be-
come the federation head, one OF the
women having communicated with
him by long distance in Orangeburg
and brought the word to Mrs. Moss
that he had given his approval-an
incident, which, related in connection
with the good news of Mrs. Moss's
acceptance, was regarded by the few
men present at the luncheon as be-
ing a heartening symptom in this
time Of women's freedom and inde-
pendence.
Mrs. John Drake, of Bennettsville,
who has been the recording secre-
tary for four years, was elected
vice president at large to succeed
Mrs. Moss, who was elevated from
the office. Mrs. James A. Cathcart,
of Columbia, who was formerly
treasurer, Was elected recording sec
retary; Mrs. A. C. Lyon was elected
corresponding secretary; Mrs. R. B.
Furman, of Greenville, treasurer;
Mrs. n. R. Goodale, of Colum bia,
vice president of the north central
district. The other vice presidents
hold over.

BYRNES SUCCEEDS ON FLOOR.
Representative Has Thirty Millions
Sent Back to Treasury.

Washington, April 24.-Represen-
tative J. F. Byrnes earned his salary
today. AS result of his single hand
ed fight conferees on the part of the
house and senate struck from the ap-
propriations bill in favor of the ship
ping board an item which would
have permitted the shipping boaru
to make use of an unexpended bal
ance of s30,OO0,O00. The original
request of the board was that it be
granted an appropriation of $780,
100000. The director of the bud
get, Gen. G. C. Dawes, approved the
request, and then the shipping boaro,
in addition, asked that it be permit
ted to expend a balance to its credit
amounting to s3,000,0O0.
Mr.. Byrnes took up the fight at
that point. He argued that the re-
quest of the board would circumvent
a law which required that all unex-
pended balances be placed in the
treasury, and that the request was
out of order. His point was sustain
ed. But the senate agreed to the re-
quest of the shipping board. When
this agreement was brought before
the house Mr.. Byrnes renewed his
fight and the house formally voted a
disagreement with the senate.
The matter at issue was the SUBJ
ject of struggle in conference. An
nouncement tonight that the con-
ferees had accepted the verdict of
the house gave Mr.. Byrnes COM
plete victory.
He has saved the government
$50, 900, it is pointed out, and
has more than earned his salary.

WINS FIGHT WITH FISH.
Diver is Caught Under Water by
Devil Fish.

Tacoma, Wash, April 22.-Bat-
tling for his life fifty feet beneath
the surface of Puget Sound, Walter
McCray, a diver, known in marine
circles from Alaska to California,
came out victorious here yesterday
over a giant devil fish.
The monster wound it's tentacles
so tightly about McCray that the
diver was unable to reach the knife
he carries for protection. When one
tentacle threatened tS cut off the
air supply, McCray, through the
submarine telephone, called for a
short steel wrecking bar. With this
weapon he was able to pierce the
body of of the devil fish, and at last,
with man and monster still strug-
Cling desperately, McCray was drawn
to the surface by his assistant and
other men called to help.
While Richard Burnett, a dock
watchman, stood by with drawn pis-
tolls, unable to shoot because the div
er and devil fish were so completely
tangled, others attacked with what
weapons there were at hand, and
finally the devil fish released it's hold
and disappeared beneath the water.
The devil fish was one of the larg-
est ever seen in these waters.

Lady Luck Was With Him.

An -illiterate justice of the peace
used to consult what looked like a
law book, but was really mail order
catalogue. One day a negro was
hailed before the squire on charge
of drunkenness The squire heard
the evidence and then, after opening
his book and glancing at it, fined the
negro s4.49, to be worked out on the
road at 25 cents per day. AS the
negro was led away he said to the
marshal: 81 sho is an unlucky mig
ger!' "Unlucky nothing" said the
marshal. "If the squire had happen
ed to open that book at automobiles
instead of pants you'd be working on
the road the rest of your life. -

CONTRACTS CANCELLED.
No More of Fatty Arbuckle's Pictures
Will be Shown.

Cancellation of all contracts for ths
showing of films in which Roscoe c.
(Fatty) Arbuckle appears, was an
nounced last week, by Will H. Hays,
head of the Motion Picture Producers
association. This action, he said, af-
fected nearly 10000 contracts.
sAfter consultation with Mr.. Mich
olas Scheneck, representing Mr.. Jo-
seph Schenck, the producers, and Mr..
Adelph Zuker, and Mr.. Lasky, Of the
Famous Players Lasky corporation,
the distributors, Mr.. Hays statement
said, 81 will state that at my request
they have cancelled all showings and
all bookings of the Arbuckle films.
They do this that the whole matter
may have the consideration that its
Importance warrants and the action is
taken Notwithstanding the fact that
they had nearly 10000 contracts in
force for the Arbuckle pictures"
When Mr.. Zuker was esked if the
action Of the producers association
had removed Arbuckle definitely from
the list of scheen stars, he replied:
1--WE simply left the matter in the
hands of Mr.. Hays. It is up to him
to decide in the future whether it will
be proper to reintroduce the Arbuckle
pictures"
Mr.. Zuker said recently that three
Arbuckle feature comedies had been
completed before the arrest of the
comedian on charges growing out OF
the death of Miss Virginia Rappe'
The producer announced shortly af-
ter Arbuckle's acquittal that one OF
the films would be released as a
''test" Of public opinion.

situation as this? Is it a defective
functioning of our courts of justice?
Can it be a partial reversion to bar
barism inspired by the scenes Of the
recent World war? Are our churches
failing to live up to their high mis-
sion in the state? Is it that our mod
ern methods of fast living have dis
turbed our poise and sense of re-
gard for. human life? Perhaps slack
prohibition enforcement and bad liq>
or are partially responsible?
"Whatever may be the cause OF
causes one thing is plain in this re-

full situation-247 homicides in South
Carolina in 1921! And every restrain

cooperative marketing idea; the late
President Roosevelt was one of the
first advocates of the plan; ex-Presi-
dent Wilson urged it upon the far
mers, and President Harding is in
entire sympathy with the movement.
Both the Democratic and Republican
party platforms contain planks urg-
ing the plan, and the government
is pledged to help the farmer at ev-
cry move in furthering the coopera-
tive self fpg plan; the railroads and
90 per cent of the business men OF
the entire country are backing the
movement, and about the only opposi-
ton found among any people IS a.
mong the planters themselves.
"You may depend on it that we
have men of brains to look after this
matter. Don't imagine for moment
that we are going to sit down and
see the Independent sellers take in
the profits while we lose them. The
tobacco interests will not dare dis
criminate against the association. We
have been assured by the tobacco
manufacturers that we will not be
disseminated against and I believe
them when they say so, for they are
operating under the antitrust law
and are on probation. Any infraction
of this law will mean they go into
the courts at once"
Exhibiting tin of smoking tobac-
he said that the idea of the manufac-
turer is to make profits. buy as
cheap as you can produce it, and sell
it Just as high as the consumer will
stand is the plan of manufacture,
co, he said the idea Of the manufac-
ing special blame on the manufac-
turers, as "you or I would do the
same thing, or else we would get out
of the business" 1t is all in the sys-
TEN, he said.
South Caroluna, above all other
states, said Mr.. Lea, has everything
to gain and not a single thing to lose
by Joining this movement. The SELL
ing season opens here long before
any other state, therefore the crop is
sold w1unout the slightest knowledge
of conditions in the other selling
states.
The association, backed by the gov
ernmenr. is ready to make advances
to all members. The idea is to store
the tobacco with the association ware
houses where it will be properly
graded and packed. Il prices are not
favorab BILE, the tobacco will be redried
and stored. There will be no indis-
criminate selling. An expert grader
will be in Bamberg to assist the plant
ers, and he urged the growers to
learn to properly grade according to
the standard scale.
The address was one OF the most
vigorous ever heard in Ramberg ana
cooperative selling received great
impetus at the meeting. Mr. Young
closed the meeting vita talk in
which he went into more details con-
corning the cooperative marketing
plan, but space forbids going into his
address as it deserves.
