MONEY FOR HoNoRS.
British Government Makes Rich Men
PAY.

Pay.
On the proposed investigation in the
house of lords of the sale Of honors'
scandal, says a London dispatch,
Premier Lloyd George continues
to stand pat on his original statement
that he welcomes any investigation,
providing 1t be retroactive and en-
brace both the Asquith and Balfour
governments"
His critics in the house of lords re-
ply by declaring the premier is the
worst offender, inasmuch as during the
last four years, they allege, he has
showered forty nine honors of differ
ent kinds upon British journalists.
They intend to use that charge as their
strongest attack, on the ground that
through the passing out Of titles to the
newspaper men Lloyd George sought
to bring a large section of the British
press under his control.
To Put Direct Question.
When the house of lords begins its
debate Monday the Duke of Northum-
berland will ask the specific question
whether the government has within
the last six months authorized any
person to make a direct offer Of an
honor in exchange for a money pay
ment.
1t is considered likely that the name
of Sir J. B. Robinson, the South Afri-
can diamond millionaire, will be men
toned in the controversy. He was
about to receive a peerage when the
sale of honors" disclosures were first
made. He declined it, issuing a state
ment in which he said he had not
sought the honor and that he had not
contributed penny toward party cam
paign funds.
Whatever may be the outcome OF the
parliamentary discussion, it is certain
that for long time to come no British
government will assume the risk OF
passing out titles to any one who mas
not some valid claim to distinction.
For generations, as it is freely ad-
mitted, there has been trading in hon
ors. During Gladstones various pc
riods of the office siXty-scvcn pecragcs
wcrc created and fourteen Scotch and
Irish additions were made.
Peerage Became "Beerage.'
Disracli created twenty-siX new
pecragcs and said it was his policy to
make useful" appointments. During
the time of the Tory ascendancy, be-
fore Asquith came into power, tho
pecragc got to be known as the beer
age" because of the number of brew
ers who figured in the honor lists.
In every administration the party
war chest has gained by the conferrlnG
of honors upon persons who paid hand
somely for them. Critics say that II
most instances the actual negotiations
have been conducted by persons wht
could be disavowcd by the government
if necessary.
The chief reason why the latest eff
fCrts to do away with the trading II
honcrs has gained such momentum il
because the public conscience has beer
Iaroused TO it's evil influence in British
| politics.
Several holders of recently bestowed
titles are nervous about the suggested
investigation.

Neely's Creek Church, July THAT
farmers in this extreme eastern sec
ton of York county are fighting the
boil weevil by every known method
and are quite fearful that Mr.. B. Wee
vii is going to win the battle, was the
information that was gained here to-
day, following interviews with num-
Der of leading farmers. The boil wee
vii has invaded the cotton crop of ev-
cry farmer in the Neely's Creek, Less
lie, Harmony and Catawba Junction
communities, was the information they
gave. "Of course" remarked a prom
inent farmer, there may be few far
mers who will tell you that they
haven't any weevils on their cotton,
but they say that because they haven't
looked for them" Numbers of farm
ers are using boil weevil traps and are
using them with a considerable meas
ure of success. The traps take in not
only boil weevils but any other kind
of insect that should chance to be on
the cotton. A prominent farmer OF
Landsford township in Chester coun-
ty, who talked about the efforts of his
people to beat the weevil, said that
numbers of farmers had bought traps
in his section, which they were using
with considerable effect.

Neely's Creek cemetery is one Of the
real old cemeteries in York county. 1t
has been a burying ground for $50
years or more. Many of the grave
stones are so gray anG worn with the
vicissitudes of the years that it is i'm
possible to distinguish the lettering
thereon. The oldest grave stone dis
tinguishable, it is said, records the
resting place Of a man named Spencer,
who was buried there in 1890. AccorC-
ing to Mr.. Thomas w. Boyd, former
York county supervisor, who lives near
Neely's Creek church and who knows
as much If not more about the history
and traditions of the cemetery as any
body else, there is evidence that there
are many graves in the cemetery much
older than that which indicates that
the occupant was buried in 1890. There
is a tradition that the first person
buried in Neelys Creek cemetery was
wagoner of North Carolina, who had
come into South Carolina with a load
of brandy and who took sick or was
killed at a spot near the church and
was buried there. According to Mr..
Boyd there is no truth to the story.
Seldom If ever has there been a
larger crowd in attendance upon fu-
neral at Neely's Creek than was pres
ent to pay a last tribute Of respect to
the late James S. Glasscock today.
Every seat in the large church audi
torium was taken and there were many
who stood because they could find no
seats. There was large number OF
colored people in attendance upon the
funeral, colored people who worked on
his lands and others who had the high
est respect and esteem for him as a
friend of man. People from I'll parts
of York and Chester counties and a
number from Lancaster county were
there The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. o. w. Carmichael, pas
tor of Neely's Creek, Rev. r. A. Lum-
mus of Richburg; Rev. w. S. Patter-
son of Lancaster and Rev. w. Frank
Pittman, pastor Of Harmony church.
Little hope is entertained for the re-
covery of Hon. Thomas F. Leslie Of
Leslie, who has been very Ill at his
home for some time past. The many
friends of Mr. Leslie over York coun-
ty, will regret to learn that relatives
fear he can last but short while.

Farmers in this section of York
county arc not at all optimistic over
the outlook for a big corn crop. what
corn there is appears to be healthy and
coming along we'll enough. But the
trouble is that there is so little of it..
Unfavorablc seasons are of course re-
sponsiblc for it. "The government ad-
vised us to plant cotton early and work
it fast" said Necly's Creek farmer
in talking about the poor corn pros
pcct. 1--WE did that with the result
that we had no time to plant corn. In
formation is that there is about as
much acreage devoted to peas ana
sugar cane in this section of Catawba
township this year as there generally
is. And Catawba township people al
ways did raise Il lot Of such fecdstuits.'

Discussing calcium arsenatc with the
correspondent today, a well known far
mer contributed the information that
it was a Georgia negro farm hand who
first discovered that molasses was the
right thing to mix with the calcium
arsenate. According to the story he
told, this negro farm hand was eating
his dinner in the field, as many people
do when cultivatinS crops. Some OF
the moasscs from the ncgro's biscuit
tricklcd on the ground. Boil wceyils
we're thick in Georgia then as now. AS
the negro sat eating his meal he saw
several wcevils approach the little
stream of syrup that had spread on
the ground He called the attention OF
his landlord to the feast of the wee
wills and the landlord conceived the
idea that the best way to kill the in
sect would be 20 mix poison with a
cheap grade of molasses. The idea has
spread all over the cotton growing belt
since the boil wccvil ate a par of a
negro field hands dinner that hot July
day.
