mar;
The sounds of sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.

The little chocolate drop fairies
came out next in white frilly petit
coats of plated paper and sang a
song with chorus which went like

We long to be thin,
But right down inside US,
Our hearts are all right,
They're soft and they're spotless,
They're sweet and they're white.
Our friends count in millions
From North to the South,
And we fit in quite nicely
To any0ne's mouth. .

HoLLoMoN S CONCLUSIONS.

p0SSIBLY it is in order for the
Times-Recorder to ''take back" at
least in part, its comments made re-
Gently on the Hollomon articles in
the Atlanta Constitution informing
farmers how to raise cotton despite
the. boil weeviL For Mr.. Hollomon
winds up his series with conclusions
sounding much different from his
first articles. According to the Con-
stitution, "Mr. Hollomon has plainly
demonstrated that the only way that
cotton can be successfully grown, in
the southwest, in the southeast or in
the central southern states, is BY
CURTAHING THE cotton acreage
so radically that the race with THE
MEEvIL CAN BE WON BY AN IN
TENSIVE SYSTEM OF CULTIVA-
TION.
THE fight against the boil weevil
can sbe won inIno other way.
1.-THE sine quo non of every line
he has written is you can only
master the boil weevil by a radical
cnrtailment of cotton acreage, five
acres to plow if practicable; intense
ly cultivate the smaller acreage. and
to put the remainder of the farm
into food and feed and livestock
balancing livestock with agriculture
when practicable.
ut is the only way!"
This is the conclusion reached some
time ago by the best farmers of this
section, and it was what the Times
Recorder had in mind when it called
attention to the unwilling folly the
Constitution appeared to have set out
orl--attempting to inform the FARM
ers how they could raise cotton de-
spite the boil weevil. We suggested
that what the farmer needed.was to
be shown how to raise other things
than cotton and plant the staple only
as a side crop, since he had always
required only the smallest suggestion
to increase his cotton acreage. But
before he had gone far Mr.. Hollo-
mon discovered that the way to raise
more cotton, to put it as a paradox,
was to raise less cotton, and that
there was no way to beat the boil
weevil except to plant such other
crops as would prohibit his beating
the farmer.
That is the case simply, and in
reaching that conclusion and present
ing it forcefully the Constitution has
done q distinct service, after all.

party and the queer little candy

awhile there was speaking and they
all sat down in rows to hear.
The first one TO make a speech was
the peanut, which said this:

Or on plants like tomatoes SO smooth
and so round,
Or like cones on an evergreen

Oh, hi diddile diddle!

And / hope you will look in your

HUNT CONTINUES
FOR THOMPSON

The Anderson Tribune has the
following to say Of the chase for
Morris Thompson:
Just what has become of one
Morris Thompson, negro sought by
posses in lower Anderson county
and in the Antreville section of
Abbeville county for attempted as
sault on a young white woman is a
matter now puzzling officers of this
entire section Of the state. Thomp-
son was last seen near the Tate
bridge on Rocky river in the end of
Anderson county early Sunday
moring. At that time . posses of in
dignant citizens from the two coun-
ties were on his trail but %torrential
rains a day or so later ended the
search without it's object having
been realized.
A reward of $3.50 vas offered
yesterday by Sheriff McLane of
Abbeville county for the apprehen-
sion of the negro or any informa-
ton that would lead to his arrest.
The black was described by the
sheriff as being about six feet tall
and weighing around ITS pounds.
He has a rough face with the usual
negro lips. No. IL or IL shoes were
worn by the fugitive. When last
seen Thompson was CARRIED in over
alls and small cap. He had a double
barrel shotgun.
1t is reported that Thompson
spent last Saturday night just over
the line in Anderson county but no
official information to this effect
has been unearthed. That he spent
the night with some negro family
in the community seems the general
conclusioni.
The double barrel shotgun which
Thompson carried when pursued
Saturday night and early Sunday
was offered to another negro of the
Tate bridge section for 81, accord
ing to information current here.
