Tarwater Must Pay Penalty

According TO IN article In the st.
Louis Globe. Democrat of March 22nd.
Hugh r. Tsrwster who shot and kill
Cd Wesley L. Robinson, one Of the
best known newspaper men in Missou-
ri, in his ofiice at Gallatin, Mo-, on
December q, 1919, will have to serve
thirty years In the penitentiary for the
crime, under . ruling of the Supreme
Court. The trouble apparently origi-
mated in the primaries of 1919.
II seems that on the day OF the kill
ing Tarwater entered the office Of the
Gsllstin Democrat and commenced
criticising Robinson for something he
had said In his paper against Judge
Devilhiss and in favor Of Judge Alex
ander. Evidently Robinson was not
paying much attention TO what was
being said to him and started to an-
other part Of the Office, when Tarwater
pulled out pistol and shot him dead.
Robinson was not armed. and evident
ly did not anticipate serious trouble.
The defense Was based entirely upon
. plea of insanity. Tarwater had been
twice confined in the insane asylum,
and there was evidence 70 show that
bis father had once been an inmate OF
an insane asylum, and that dozen or
more OF The collateral kindred OF Tar
water had given evidence at times OF
insanity. Tsrwater started serving
bis time on The zlst Tarwater 10 we'll
known hsse by tho early" settlers.

The Pioneer barber shop has
this week moved from its old
location to the room just east in
the same building, formerly
occupied by Nelson-Sears realty
company. The cause of this
transfer is due to the fact that
Mr.. Goodnight has leased the
present room to a Mr.. Joffe. of
Missouri, who will arrive here
shortly and open up a store in
this room. We did not know
what was going on for a while
here Tuesday morning as the

Rare Treat for Music Lovers is
... Coming.

The Old Cheraw Chapter, D. "a. Il
has arranged a rare treat for music
lovers, in the Recital that is to be
given in the School Auditorium on
Tuesday evening, April 18th, by Miss
Evelyn Smith, Miss Charlotte Mathe-
son and Mr.. r. L. Surnwalt.
Miss Smith is too we'll known to
need an introduction, being a pianist
OF very unusual merit whose exqui-
site playing has often delighted Che
raw audiences. 1t has been an inter
esting pleasure to her many friends
to watch thro passing years the
development of her splendid gift, as
her musical foundation and much of
her training were given by teachers
in the Cheraw school. She has had
the privilege Of several years of study
under a we'll equipped instructor in
the Salem Female College, Winston
Salem, N. c., followed by a special
course in Fontainebleau, France. The
latter opportunity came to Miss
Smith as a reward for exceptionally
fine work in musical contests, in
which she won over others represent
ing the best talent of several states.
Miss Charlotte Mathewson, also of
Salem College, is a pretty, petite
young singer with wonderfully fine
voice and a very attractive personali-
ty, combination that never fails to
please.
Mr. Sumwalt, whose friends are all
those who know him, and it might be
added. all those who hear him, will
contribute to the pleasure of the
evening several beautiful violin selec
tions, rendered in his own truly artis-
tic manner.
This recital is one of series that
Misses Smith and Matheson have been
giving with great success in other
towns, and Cheraw will measure up
to her high standard Of appreciation
and loyalty by giving one of her own
splendid daughters who has made
good, a packed Auditorium to greet
her and her talented assistants.

The State Of Georgia has success
fully compreted its campaign for
the formation of a cotton cooperative
marketing association. The organi'
cation committee in that state set out
to raise 100000 bales by April 1st
On April 1st it was announced that
250,OOO bales had been signed up.
Georgia thus becomes the seventh
state in the cotton belt to organize
The other six are: Texas, Oklahoma
Arkansas( North Carolina, Arizona
and the long staple growers of Miss
issippi. The Alabama campaign clos
es on June 1st with success already
practically assured.
II South Carolina should fail il
would be the first state to do so. Ev-
cry other state has succeeded in the
undertaking. The growers in every
other state have signed a contract
practically identical to the one the
growers in South Carolina are sign
ing. The plan of organization fol-
lowed has been the same. There
fore, if South Carolina should fail
we would have no alibi We would
just simply have to admit that the
growers in our state did not have the
vision that the growers in the other
states have. By their failure to as
sist as actively in the campaign as
the business men of the other states
in the belt we would be forced to ad-
NIT that our business men did not
have the vision that the business men
of other states had
The seven states that have COM
pleted their organization have issued
a sharp challenge to South Carolina.
1t is a challenge that we must either
accept or reject. We must either
organize and sell our cotton coopera-
lively with them or we must tell
them that we prefer the old market
ing system and continue to dump our
chief crop on the market taking what
ever is offered us for it. Meanwhile
the farmers of our sister states will
be getting at least fair profit for it.
South Carolina will not fall down in
this undertaking. 1t is not the Gus
tom Of this state to fall down in any
progressive or patriotic undertaking.
1t has ever been thus. We have al

A Challenge to
South Carolina

ways prided ourselves that we were
were first in war and first in peace
When the German hordes threatened
the sanctity and safety Of our nation
there was no state in the union that
offered more of its sons to the nation
in proportion to. its population than
did dear, little, old South Carolina
When money was needed to finance
our armies across the seas, and in
cantonments in our own land, no
state contributed more literally than
did this patriotic little state.
And so South Carolina is not going
to fail in this great movement of
progress-a movement that is intend
ed to give the growers of cotton their
great dues. The farmers of South
Carolina, we believe, have just as
great a vision as the farmers of Tex
us and Oklahoma and Mississippi and
Arkansas and Georgia and North
Carolina and Arizona. They are 60
ing to market their cotton coopera-
lively alongside the farmers of those
states and are not going to market it
in competition with them. They are
going to join with them and are MOI
going to fight them. The business
men of the state have just as great
4 vision, we believe, as the business
men of those states and they are 60
ing to render every assistance in their
power during the next three weeks
putting across this great movement,
one that means so much for the fu-
ture welfare of all Carolina.
1t is the ambition Of every worthy
man to render some great service to
his state or his nation. The oppor-
tunity does not come to every man
in lifetime. 1t has come now, how
ever, to every farmer and business
man in South Carolina. The farmer
by signing the contract and going out
and trying TO get other farmers to
sign. is rendering a distinct service
to himself, to his state and to his
Southland. The business man by as
sisting in the canvass is rendering a
service.
ut Shall NOT Fail" is orr SLOGAN
and it will not fail. -Four thorsand
red blooded South Carolina farmers
say that il will not. It cannot fail
II must not. 1t WILL NOT.

Mr.. Grover Mcdonald,
Maxton, n. c.

Dear Sir:
After giving the boil weevil prob
lem careful thought during these
months that l have been confined to
the house, l have concluded that
we should adopt, regardless of other
peoples opinions, the following plan
First, burn every item of trash
around the cotton fields.
Second, plant four rows of cotton
all around the edge of each field that
is exposed to the woods.
Third, plant not less than FIVE
rows of corn, the rows not less than
six feet apart around each field ad-
joining the four rows of cotton.
Fourth, plant the real cotton crop
in between this block of territory.
In order to get your mind clear on
this, imagine that the crop We are
going to plant is 100 acres square.
Then. draw your line with four rows
of cotton all around the 100 acres.
Then plant your corn all around the
inside of these four rows, then your
cotton crop all inside the corn crop.
The plan is to plant it as soon as
possible The plan for guane is to
put not less than 300 pounds Of acid
phosphate and slight quantity Of
soda per acre to hurry the crop, to-
gether with whatever guano we may
decide later to use.
From all the information I can
gather, the boil weevil winters in
the woods and branches around the
farm. 1t is also agreed that he stops
in the spring in the first cotton he
can find. The object in putting these
four rows around the field is 10
poison or destroy him and keep him
out Of the main crop. After giving
this matter full consideration,
have decided that it will be neces-
Sary to have n careful hand to search
these four rows Of cotton as soon ns
lhe cotton begins 10 come up, and de-
stroy bv whatever method seems
most economical every weevil tn"
appears in these four rows.
You will plant the cotton in rows
not over 31s feet apart, leave II
from two to five stalks to the hill
in the drill. and chop it with a not
over siX-inch hoe, and make it
rule to plow it not less than once a
week. and fix your plows so that
the cotton will be shaken by some
thing protruding from the plow.
You can decide what form Of brush
or stem coming out from the plow o"
singletree to use in order to shal'f
the boil weevil off if he gets on.
If you have any suggestion 10
make that you think would i'm
prove this plan. would be glad
you would submit it to me, or if you
have reason to believe that the plan
is not practical, advise me and we
will so over reasons together.
Yours very truly,
A ]. McKINNON.

s. II. 4. McManuS Loses House and
Barns by Fire.
NIaxton, March 80.

While a high wind was blowing O."
Tuesday afternoon about four o'clock
The home Of Mr.. 6. r. A. McManus
was completely destroyed by fire.
The house caught from a spark fall
ing on the roof which was rIick'r
famed into blaze by the high winds.
Although Mrs McManus was at home
and help was near at hand only the
furniture on the ground floor was
saved so quickly did the flames eat
their way over the building.
Mr.. McManus' property lies outside
the town limits but the fire company
responded to call sent in
We understand the nearest hydrant
was over thousand feet from the fire
and a trip had TO be made back to
the reel house before a stream could
be thrown on the burning buildings.
About one o'clock Wednesday morn
ing fire again. broke out at the Nc
Manus palce. Two barns and an
outbuilding near the burned residence
were totally destroyed. It was thought
that a spark from the fire in the
afternoon famed by the high wind
which continued throughout the after
noon and night were responsible for
the second fire. A number of chick
ems persisted in this fire but no other
live stock was lost.
We understand the property de-
strOyed was valued at around $4,000,
with about $4,000. Insurance.
