FIGHT ON PAROLES
Lawyers Having Gala Time
in Supreme Court

Columbia. Nov. &c, T.. Gray
don, Columbia attorney, announces
that he will bring. case in the
supreme court similar to the Grow
er Crooks case. heard by the su-
preme court Wednesday and TAX
en- under advisenent by that
tribunal, though MIR. Graydon de-
clines to announce the name of his
client. He appeared as pne of the
attorneys for the Crooks case, B.
B. Evans, counsel for Crooks, an
nouncing to the court that Mr..
Graydon would present arguments
in the case. because Of the fact
that he was soon to appear in a
case OF his own of similar nature.
He will ask the court, under ha-
beas corpus proceedings, for the
release of his client, who had a
parole. revoked by Governor Har-
vey, on the ground that the
governor did not have authority
to revoke the parole.
This will be the third such case
brought by convicts whose paroles
Governor Harvey has revoked, the
first being Reed Shaw, Of Ander-
son. While Mr.. Grayden stated
that he would not disclose the name
of his client, he did state that the
client lives in the Piedmont sec
iton and has recently had a parole
revoked by Governor Harvey.

to manufacture nitrogen for the

The wastage, too, as made into
oil and meal is very small in soys
while it is tremendous in cotton
seed. For example, soys make
to the ton-oil, 240 pounds and
meal 1920 pounds which gives US
practically 1900 pounds Of oil and
meal with wastage Of only
about 100 pounds. On the con-

Too Much of a Good Thing.
(Dillon Herald).

A boy in a South Carolina college
joined the football squad. His
weekly letters to his mother. spoke
of nothing but 'punts, end
runs forward passes,'' touch
downs etc. The monthly reports
did not show UP very well. The
mother soon wearied Of such stuff.
Then she took her pen in hand and
wrote as follows: IF you are go-
ing to college to study III pay the
bill; if you are going there to play
football you'll pay the bill" The
boy decided to study. Thousands
of other parents are facing the
same problem Footballwas star--
ed to build up the college spirit
and now it is killing it. 1t is the
topic of the hour outside of class
rooms. The craze has reached tie
/ high schools and football has be-
come an obsession with students OF
all grades. Recently the football
squad Of a leading southern collese
went on a three weeks tour Of the
north. A professor accompanied
the boys to hear lessons, but one
can imagine how much studying
they did Sports and fun are nee
essary in high schools and colleges,
but the football craze has reached
proportions positively alarming.

Career OF Benito Mus

Geneva, Oct. 81 6By the Asso-

whose spectacular rise to the Ital-
ian premiership has excited world
wide interest, spent an exciting few
years in Switzerland during his
youth.
His entrance into this country
vas dramatic. He was pursued
over the frontier at Chiasso by
Italian gendarn1es who had a war
rant for his arrest, but Won his
race for freedom by a scant hum
dred yards and the Swiss customs
officers refused to surrender him.
Mussolini at that time was
about 90 years old. Pennies, he
crossed the ST. Gothard pass on
foot and upon his arrival in Luz
cerne was arrested as a vaga bond
without visible means of support.
Political friends, however. came to
his aid.
Later he entered the University
of Lusanne but as he was rev.
olufionary Socialist and wrote many
fiery articles for the Swiss 3 and
italian Socialist press, he was fin
ally expelled from Switzerland af-
ter several police warnings which
he refused to heed.
Then he went to Trent, in the
old Austrian Tyrol. whence he was
also expelled in 1911. Upon the

a bushel Of COW peas Uakncwn.
Whips and Namshorn, and Clay,
contains about one hundred aid
fifty thousand peas while IRON, New
Era and Bra bham average about
two Numbered and thirty-five thou
sand to the bushel. In the .sty
beans the ,Bilexi is a little larger
than the Clay peas and average
about one hundred and twelve thou-
sand to the bushel but the very
small Laredo and Barchett soys
average about six hundred aid
fifty thousand. It is interesting to
know what an acre planted. say in
Laredo, soy bean and in COW psas
will produce in seeds and how
many acres can be planted ,e-
spectively. the next year from one
acre as seeded down to these two
products the year before. We do
not get more than ten to Twelve
bushels possibly Of cow peas
usually from an acre and broad
casted it takes close on to two
bushels. Therefore one acre plant.
ed in COW peas will not produce
more than seeds sufficient another
year for eight or nine acres. In
other words cow peas are expensive
matters where grown per acre for
seed. Now one bushel of Laredo
soy beans will easily plant. ten
acres. One bushel of Otootan Will
plant about eight acres. The Geor-
gia experiment station for five years
has. produced twenty-five bushels
of Laredo per acre and Doctor T.
H. Tuten OF Hampton county this
year made more than thirty bush
els. theoretically, therefore, one
acre planted to Laredo will pro-
duce seed enough to replant the
following year two hundred and
fifty acres! This is almost in
credible, and as a seed matter and
a money seed mater, we see how
zone acre in Laredo far outshines
the acre in COW peas.

North Carolina will make this
year three million bushels Of soy
beans which is three bushels to
every man, woman and child prac-
tically in the state. Nine-tenths Of
these are Mammoth Yellow. The
beans are gathered by the Lietle
Giant horse which straddles the
row and picks and shells. The same
machine will negotiate Biloxi and
Laredo, but cannot negotiate otoo-
tan and Barshett. These last two
beans ARE recumbent and largely
droop, when yellowing. to one-half
their usual height and much of the
branches lie prone on the ground
which causes a great loss in seed
gathering and makes seed gather
ing expensive. About the only
method that can be employed in
quantity here is to use a mower and
then thresh but the wastage as left
on the ground is very heavy.

The Cow Peas Successor.

Neither North Carolina today nor
Tennessee, once large COW pea
growers, grow this commodity any
longer. These states have gone
bodily over into soys and we are
going to follow suit here just as
quickly as the farmer can find out

this comment. asked Mr.. Ham
|ilton of Clemson College a few days
ago if all of this country here would
not follow North Carolina and Ten
nessee, and if the days of the COW
pea were not numbered and he
said Most assredly.'r This le-
gume known as soy beans, unplant-
ed here before, does not do well
without inoculation until the sec
ond year. With inoculation it does
weH the first year. After growing
the first year the ground remains

A Happy idea:

L. Baker has long been recognz-
ed as one Of the leading spirits Of
.Gaffney. He has. without doubt,
built more storeroms and houses in
Gaffney than any other man. This,
because ne is a builder. He has al
ways been interested in the growth
and development Of Gafney. He
it was who conceived the idea of
the Gaffrsey Manufacturing Co.,
and it was he who was primarily
responsible for Capt. II. D. Wheat
coming to Gaffney. In every enter
prise that would tend to the de-
velopmene and growth of Gaffneys
L. Baker has been a staunch sup
porter. Mr.. Baker realizes. that
the advent of the boil weevil to
this section means changed con-
ditions. No longer can we depend
upon cotton for our principal crop.
Our farmers must learn the lesson
OF diversifcation. In order for
them to diversity their crops they
must have a market for whatever
they raise. so again Mr.. Baker
comes to the front with the idea
of cold storage plant to take care
OF the produce Of the farmer. His
idea to organize 9. company
large enough to take care Of every
thing that could be raised in
Cherokee county and stored in a
cold storage plant. OF course, he
would start off in modest way,
but plan so the plant could be
added to as farmers could be edu-
Gated to the new order Of things
and the necessity arose. = He would
make this plant capable Of taking
care of vegetables Of every de-
seription and country produce Of all
kinds, pay the farmers cash there
for, and store the product in the
cold storage plant until a suitable
market could be found. He would
distribute this stock in small
blocks to all classes OF people, but
more especially farmers. 1t looks
TO US as if Mr. Baker has hit upon
a happy idea-Gaffney Ledger

Rome, Oct. 81 (By the Asso-
ciated Press Whatever the OUT
come may be when the new Mus
lsolini cabinet goes before the
chamber Of deputies, there is gen
seral agreement that the new pre-
mier has gathered about him a
cabinet exceptionally strong from
the Nationalist standpoint, COM
prising body Of men who were
leaders of Italy in the great wal
and the outstanding protagonlsts
for Italy's territorial claims in the
peace.
Mussolini brings with his min
istry a well defined foreign policy,
the cornerstone Of which is expan-
sion. The Fascist party, ever
since its inception a year ago. has
always preached the extension OF
Italy's territorial claims. When
former Premier Giolitti ordered the
evacuation of Albania by Italian
troops. the Fascist sent up cry
of protest against the veteran
statesman, burning him In effigy
and hurling stinging epithets
against him in hostile demonstra-
tons.
Mussolini himself has declared
that the Mediterranean is an Ital-
ian lake and he advocates complete
control Of the waterway by Italy.
The claim Of Greece for the Dode-
canese islands was always bitter
II contested in Fascist councils.
Total reputation of all Soviets
has been constant cry aomng Fas-
cisti. Waen the Russian CONNER
cial mission arrived in Rome in
1871 their rooms were broken into
and their baggage ransacked by
Fascist, who contended for no ne
gotiations in any form with the
Soyiets.
In their domestic policy the
aims OF the Facisti have not been
clearly defined Indeed, it has
been constantly maintained by their
opponents that they had no do.
mestie policy. One thign. however
has stood preeminent in all their
domestic actions. namely, their
hostility to the extreme Socialists
and Communists.
They have defantly fought sthe
strike in any form Wherever and
whenever strikes have been de-
clared they have strained every ef-
fort to keep industry going.
Communism has been almost

MIX Ahead of Cotton.

Scarcely a day passes but what we
gather. from papers from all over

popularity Of the COW over cotton
as the way out for southern farm
ers. Local Instances, have been
many times multiplied. Scores OF
Castor county farmers are turning
ito the dairy COW as the. boil wee
wi rayages continue to increase.
From Alabama by way Of the, Will
mington Star, we gather addition
al evidence:
The remarkable thing that has
come to pass in the once great cot
ton market of Montgomery, is that
the value Of Montgomery county's $
milk production now exceeds that
of all the cotton grown in the coun-
ty. That is the story we get in 4

cry Advertiser, which explains it by
saying that this means that cotron

Soy beans are. weevil proof. In
the southern sections Of the south
the weevil lays eggssin all the green
pods Of all COW peas, thus render
ing seed gathering here almost inn

ways. safely. Stock like. il. and
thrive on it because it is not q le-
guninous hay but this hay always
carries a certain amount of beans
in the milk, thus making it a

can be seen from the above, has
every possible advantage over; COW
peas and the sooner our ayricul-
ture in Georgia and South Cai ?liaa

has failed to renominate the gov
ernor of the board for another
term in recognition of his great
services in a peculiarly trying pc
Rod.
What the critics of the board
desired was imitation until it reach
ed the sky. Rather than have the
upward trend OF prices checked
they preferred easy money in un-
limited measure. through bank
credits and currency, issues. But
the consuming masses had revolt
ed against the high cost of livins
before the banks began curtailina
credits. The "overalls' movement,
in which people began curtailing
credits. The "over-end of the
United States to the other, as a
protest against the ever soaring
price level, precipitated a crisis.
The banks recognized the storm
signal and there came an end to
the wild defiation which had con-
tinued. in the. year following the
end of the war. The dehation was
drastic" because the previous in
aation had been drastic. Price ces
had gone up like a rocket; Of
