On November 8. 1917. when young
Mason was with the l06th at Spartan
burg, S. c.. he wrote Miss Knapp: "As
i am taking more of chance OF being
killed or dying than ever before think
/ will take out life insurance which will
insure me for the. next five years for
$4,000. and in case of death you VIII
receive s57 a month for twenty years.
The letter added that Miss Knapp
would 'be pretty we'll fixed financially
if / drop within the next few years,
and closed. Yours. till death do us
part. Ernest" The insurance was sub
sequentiy taken out by Mason and made
payable to his estate.
On September q. 1918. he was sta
toned at Bony. France. waiting to go
"over the top" He is declared to have
stated to a comrade. Oscar l.. West
gate, that if ne died "all of his estate
including his war risk insurance. was
to go to his fiancee. Leonore A. Knapp.
After being taken a prisoner he is said
to have said the same to James F..
Loomis. The War Department reported
him as having died October 10, 1918.

COLLEGE RESENTS
SECT INTERFERENCE
Dartmouth President Will Not
Tolerate Move to Halt
Evolution Teaching.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
HANOVER, n. H., Feb. 16.-Dr. Ernes,
Martin Hopkins. president of Dartmon.h
College, who has received warnings from
certain religious societies and pre-mtl-
lennial sects in New York to stop the
teaching of evolution and other doctrines
of which they do not approve, said to-
night that Dartmouth College would rot
tolerate any attempt on the part of
religious denominations to influence us
educational policies. He commented par
ticularly on the letter received by MIN
last November from the Baptist Tempe
in Brooklyn, expressing the conviction
that no teacher should be allowed 20
continue his activities in a Baptist
school without the clearest expression OF
his faith in the principles of the Baptist
denomination.
Dr. Hopkins said that inasmuch as
Dartmouth was non-sectarian and was
not controlled. and would not be con-
trolled by any sect or denomination, he
would answer the letter as a private
individual and not as president Of Dart
mouth.
Il believe" he said, that the honest
asnosticissn or doubt of any mind ought
to have full play and that only out of
such freedom OF speculation can a gem
uine and strongly founded belief of any
potentiality be acquired
OF the pre-millenniel movement, DR..
Hopkins said:
"Milenniaism is an archaic form of
Biblical liberalism. As always happens
in a period of reactionary thinking.
there is an insistence upon the accept
ance of all statements of the Bible lit
orally and completely, ignoring the fact
that Oriental people deal largely in alle-
CORY and metaphor even when most
serious.
Accepting the Bible literally, the
next step is TO argue that evil has run
it's course and that Christ Is coming
to earth to stay and destroy all who
oppose his work-that is. all who op-
pose the fundamentalst movement
and that evil is to be chained for n
thousand years and that goodness and
righteousness shall be established on
the earth by force

THE RIGHT OF SECESSION

Editor Cheraw Chronicle:
The following short diSsertion on
the above subject was prepared some
weeks ago for the U. D. G. and was
read at one of their meetings. The
wish was then expressed that it be
published for the information of those
who did not hear it.
My father used to say that the North
fought against the Constitution; and
so sincere was he in this convection,
and so full of Quakerism, that neither
he nor any of my relatives ca both
sides, went into the Civil War.
was very much interested in a
pamphlet on Wrongs of History
Righted," by Miss Rutherford. histor-
ian general of the U. D. c. There are
other facts in history which Southern
school histories do not stress. Let
me call your attention to one-the
right of secession.
All students attending West Point
Military Academy before 1910, used
as the text books on the Constitution
"Rawle's Views on the Constitution
of the United States of America" ."
William Rawles was celebrated
Philadelphia lawyer and jurist, stud
led law in New York under the Royal
Attorney General and in the Middle
Temple, London; was admitted to the
Philadelphia bar in 1888; was 20
years old in 1887 when the Constitu-
tional Convention was held, and at
tended it's meetings, heard the discus
siOns. and was therefore able to ap-
preciate the doings and the results of
that Constitution.
Lee, Davis, Joe Johnston, Sidney
Johnston, Stonewall Jackson, Maury,
Fitzhugh Lee, and other leaders,
Northern as well as Southern, were
taught from this book; and it was in
tended to put this book in evidence
in defence of Davis if the trial for
treason had been pushed, and on this
account the trial was abandoned.
This book, placed in the hands of
its students at West Point by the
United States government itself,
taught that "the State may wholly
withdraw from the Union," (page 2S9)
and that 'the secession of a State
from the Union depends on the will
OF the people of such State" (p. 295)
I'm the case of unconditional seces-
sion, the previous ligament with the
Union would be legitimately and fairly
destroyed" (p. 296).
Davis and Lee were at West Point
during the administration of John
Quincy Adams, who, in 1899, said that
the people of such State have right
to secede from the confederated
union"
General Lee once told Bishop Will
mer of Louisiana that if it had not
been for the instruction he got from
Rawles text book at West Point, he
would not have left the Old Army and
joined the South at the breaking out
of the war between the States.
The Southern leaders, and the
South did what the United States
government said could lawfully be
done. J. S. HARTZELL

POINTS ABOUT PEANUTS
A Good Stand Needed for 4 Good
Yield

Clemson College, April ga great
many farmers are planting peanuts
this year either for feed or as a sub
stitute cash crop. 1t is very impor-
tant in making a good crop of pea
nuts to have a good stand. The rows
should be feet apart for the Spanish
variety and the plants should be 3
inches apart in the row. They will
make larger yield if thicker than that
rather than thinner. A good many
farmers plant their peanuts 6, or 10
inches apart and, of course, get very
low yield as a result. 1t is important
to have a good stand to get good
yield.
1t is important also not to plant
nuts which have been shelled for
long tina They deteyioratf very
rapidly after being shelled and for
that reason it is best to plant them
in the shell or be sure that they are
freshly shelled nuts. The safest plan
is to plant them in the shell.
The peanut is a good crop if prop
erly grown, but to be a successful
crop economically, it should be grown
at low cost per acre. If the nuts
are planted thick then cultivated
early with harrow, it will reduce the
cost production and enable one man
to grow large acreage thus making
it a much more profitable crop per
man. For further details may be had

sTHE BOIL WEEyn PROBLEM"
A New Farmers Bulletin on the
Cotton Pest.

Clemson Collage, April E2. The
Extension Service has received
through the aid of Congressman F..
H. Domminick, supply of Farmers
Bulletin 1862, "The Boil Weevil Prob
lem," for distribution among the
farmers of the state, and copies may
be had from county agents or from
the Extension Service, Clemson Col
elge, S. G.
This bulletin gives a general &C
count of the boil weevil problem. II
deals with the history of the insect
in the United States, the damage it
has done in different regions, the
reason for local variations in damage,
the indications for the future, the
habits of the weevil so far as they
can affect control measures, and the
means of reducing weevil injury.
Summary of Control Measure.
The following is an outline of the
practical methods of controlling the
boil weevil described in detail in the
bulletin. These methods are based
upon extensive study and much field
experimentation. They represent
practically all that is known about
combating the most important enemy
of the cotton plant. They form sys-
TEN composed of several parts. >
cotton planter can insure success ia
proportion to the extent to which he
combines the different essential parts
1. When possible practice early
fall destruction Of the cotton plants.
2. Destroy as many weevils as
possible in h. ,ernation by cleaning up
and burning over Information quar-
tiers. Also clear land whenever pos
sible to consolidate open areas and
reduce fields subject to early, heavy
infestation.
g. If you are not poisoning, plant
in the fields located in situations
where weevils damage will be mini
n1ized. If you are poisoning, however,
plant your fertile soil adjoining hi
blrnation quarters and concentrate
your efforts on thorough control of the
weevil in these fields.
A. Prepare the land early and
thoroughly in order to obtain an early
crop. This means fall plowing and
winter working of the land.
8. Determiner the best distances
between the rows and between the
plants by experiments on local soils.
Once this is determined make every
effort to obtain a perfect stand at the
desired spacing.
6. Insure an early crop by early
planting of early maturing varieties
and by fertilizing when necessary.
Z. Continue to produce an early
crop by chopping to stand and early
and frequent cultivation. Do not lose
the fruit the plants have set by cul-
tivating too deeply or too close to the
rows.
s. Study the conditions governing
poisoning very carefully, and if your
conditions seem suitable for profita-
BILE work poison the weevils with
powdered calcium arsenate.
8. Before attempting to poison, OBJ
tain from the Bureau of Entomology
full and detailed instructions based
on your local conditions.

And Fall is not alone; the public
believes that other members of the
cabinet are guilty of similar acts. In
fact, the whole administration is pre-
vaded with this intense friendship for
the rich grabber of spoils. Secretary
of War Weeks is alleged to have per-
mitted the selling Of surplus war sup
plies to business interests at ridicu-
lously low prices All these sales
have been carefully engineered to pre-
vent the public receiving any benefit or
securing any relief from the high cost
of living. Those corporations which
furnished these supplies to the gov
ernment at fancy prices have been
permitted to buy back the surplus with
a mere fraction of the money they re-
ceived for the goods, to resell to the
public at high prices, thus forcing the
people to pay for them twice-once
through their taxes and again when
purchased for their personal use.
Congressman Woodruff alleged that
Weeks interfered to prevent the At
torney General prosecuting war pro-
iteers, while Congressman Johnson
of South Dakota said on the floor that
Weeks had sent to Congress a report
