Lead Shauings Are
Substituted for
Stolen Platinum

Nashville. October 19.-How over
$4,000 worth of platinum was
stolen from the Old Hickory powder
plant by the substitution of lead
shavings for the valuable metal was
told by H. H. Brown of South Caro-
lima, former employee of the plant, in
the trial OF Joe Weller of New York
on a charge of conspiracy in the
case. Brown was convicted last year
for completely in the theft and has
served a short prison term. He de-
clared that the idea of making the
substitution of lead for the platinum
was suggested by H. b. Crone, forz
mer chemist at the plant. who has
also been convicted and sentenced.
Browns testimony will be con-
tinued tomorrow. Weilers connec-
ton with the theft was not brought
out in Browns testimony today.

In complete understanding of the high

A while ago war ended with
France and England in each others
arms. vowing eternal friendship,
Italy. disguised as she we'll might
be, with her allies treatment. Ger
many and Austria nowhere. Russia
boycotted by all. and Turkey appar-
emily thing OF the past.
Then France sent weapons and
money to the Turks to fight the
Greeks; back came Turkey. with the
allies bowling and yielding politely
to the 'Unspeakable One And now
everything is changed.
Just one lesson for Uncle Sam in
all that. Let him attend to his own
business, keep away from Europe's
complications, and let our friends
over there fight and borrow from
each other.

In French prisons only five Ger
man war prisoners are left. Except
the five. all were pardoned by the
French President, and the five CON
victed of serious offenses have had
their sentences reduced.
In American prisons are some
dozens of American prisoners. The
only crime charged against them is
talking ALPHABETICALLY and foolishly.
They did not believe in war
What this government thinks it is
doing, keeping these men and women
locked up after political prisoners in
other countries have been released,
is not clear. One thing the govern
ment is doing is keeping alive the
thing it seeks to destroy. supplying
ammunition to those that call this
government the most reactioncry on

HE AMERICAN Press ASSOCIATION

Sidney Smith. the originator of
Andy Gump, is drawing down q nifty
sum Of money for his brain-work.
And Andy has become sort of house,
hold institution with the American
people. For months millions of read
ers waited with bated breath while
the. Widow lander angled for the rich
Uncle BIN. Once upon time Andy
was hooked on mountain canary stock,
and declared that nobody would ever
catch him again. When Uncle BIN
decided to settle with Widow Zandes
for breach of promise, Andy had him
shell out a hundred thousand with the
understanding that Andy was to keep
any change he could keep out of the
old girls hands in making settlement.
Andy copied off fifty thousand and a
big automobile, not to say anything
Of bunch Of diamonds, etc.
Now, just about the time Andy has

Quite a number of reports Of
wheat yields from various parts Of
the county have been received, and
from ten to twelve bushels seem to
be the minimum for all parts. Yields
exceeding twenty bushels are not un-
common, and nearly all wheat is high
grade.
Wheat prices continue to range a
little under dollar at the local ele-
.vators, and, if they go no lower, it
will not be so bad. However, there
is danger that the heavy crop, COM
bined with the lack Of export trade
may cause sharp decline to point
where there will be little or nothing
in it for the raiser.
The most successful enterprise we
have heard Of to date in doing some
little thing to get better returns for
the grain raiser is the Wheat Growers
Association. The organization is
backed by plenty of common-sense
business men, and has already receiv-
ed several millions of dollars from
the War Finance Corporation. They
are not very well organized around
here, but some parts Of the state
are signed UP almost to a man.
+ There is no question but what the
farmer needs assistance from some
source to make grain-raising worth
while. There is also no question as
to what will happen if he looks to the
Nonpartisan League and its political
nostrums to correct conditions. Good
business sense and not good political
manipulation is what is needed.
The Wheat Growers, or some such
business enterprise. will eventually
get results. The Nonpartisan
League and politics never will.
The Wheat Growers are run in a
practical manner. They simply meet
a given situation and make the best
Of it. They don't rip and tear every
thing and everybody to pieces. They

He digs. They walk out. Andy
hasn't seen them before or since, but
he isn't worrying any. He spends all
his time visualizing life in Washington
as a member of congress. For Andy,
it's all over but the shouting, and he
hasn't even so much as thought of
checking up to see where he is at
with his new campaign committee.
Andy is fine example of the aver
age sophisticated citizen who figures
he's wise to all games, and falls for
one Of the simplest.

don't rave about conditions. They
simply look for an opening and go to
it. They are arranging to purchase
a seat on the Chamber Of Commerce,
and they are going ahead with the
practical business Of selling wheat.
Let us hope that the results they
achieve will go q long way towards
securing for the farmer all his pro-
duct is worth. I.

We see by last weeks issue that our
friend down street is going to blossom
out in great shape for the last two
months before election. An. addi-
tional printer has been hired, the pa
per is to be enlarged to eight pages,
and a real effort is to be made to put
out real newspaper until election
time. The Free Press has become
pretty much Of joke as Newspaper
Of late months, and has been going
farther and farther in debt every
month. It appears, however, that
those in charge Of the paper realize
that a little more good money must be
sent after the bad IL any kind Of a
fight is to be put up for election this
fall.
These great pretentions Of the Free
Press coming just before election are
no new thing. The Free Press has
made its readers many promise
which it has absolutely failed to keep.
For instance, it gathered in number
Of subscribers one year with the
promise Of German paper. About
two German editions were printed,
then for few weeks a couple Of col
umns Of German appeared in the Eng
fish edition, and, as soon as election
was over, the German department dis
appeared entirely.
The Free Press has been having a
pretty sorry time of it the past year
in trying to be both farmers
paper" and an apologist for the bridge
ring which has dN>hings pretty much
its own way in this county. Despite
the fact that four-fifths Of the people
know that we have been squandering
money on our so-called county engi-
neer, and that the bridge ring has
been having soft pickings at the ex-
pense Of the public, we are still wait
ing to find the first word Of criticism
in the Free Press, the alleged farmers
paper. Instead, the Free Press has
done everything possible to suppress
any criticism, and has sprung to their
defense at every opportunity. AS q
result, several hundred electors who
supported the Free Press two years
ago because it was 9 league newspa-
per are supporting the Record this
year, instead. The Free Press stands
to be defeated this fall by q very sub
stantial majority. and then will come
the howl that "streeter stole the
election" which will be as far from
the truth as the Free Press usually is.
We aren't going to steal any election.
We have the votes without stealing
them. And. when election is over, it
is our aim to have so conducted our
fight that no lawsuit will avail the
defeated parties anything.
The Record firmly believes that it
has sufficient backing to materially in
crease the more than two-hundred
majority it received two years aeo.
OF course, we aren't going to take
any chances, and we propose to make
an extensive campaign from now un-
til election time. -

This year's crop will probably make
it possible for the average person
to take up the loose ends Of his in
debtedness and get his credit in bet
ter shape. That it will pay his debts
in many instances is not to be exc
.pected. Financial conditions are
generally too badly involved to allow
that. With previous complete fall
ures, and the necessity Of buying feed
and seed last year, and with interest
and taxes unpaid for q couple Of
years past, the man who can clean
up the edges and have only the orig
inal loan that he owed couple Of
years ago will be more than fortu-
nate.

scramble to make collections this fail.
