Cropper System Gives
Better Results Than Y
Farm Tenant Plan

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. CSC.
o. Brannen, associate agricultural
economist for the United States de-
partment of agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with the University of South
Carolina, has just issued a state
ment in which he declares that the
cropper system Of operation on thif-
teen South Carolina plantations was
more profitable in 1921 for both
plantation operator and worker than
the tenant system.
Difference in crop yields due 70
difference in working arrangemer4s
in the two systems was largely
responsible for the results shown,
Mr.. Brannen states. "On the land
planted to cotton, choppers produced
80 of a bale per acre as compared
with .54 of bale for share ten
ants and .35 in the case of stand
ing and cash renters.
1.-THE thirteen plantations included
1887 acres of land in six counties,
worked by 1870 troopers and ten
ants. The plantation operators re-
ceived an average return of 1855
per acre, and the 100 troopers and
tenants an average return OF $l5.IS
per acre. The landlords return per
acre was 1881 from choppers,
$11.66 from share tenants. and $9.0l
from standing and cash renters. The
average return per acre realized by
Al choppers was $24.S7 as compared
with $i5.73 by share tenants, and
net loss of 45 cents per acre in
the case of standing cash renterss

u. s. COMMISSIONER
NAMES J. f. DYCHE
PROHIBITION AGENT
BY THEODORE TILLER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Prohi-
bftion Commissioner Haynes has
found a place for J. E. Dyche, re-
firing warden of the federal peni-
tertiary at Atlanta, who will be sue
ceeded, it is understood, by Albert
Sartain, of Columbus, Ohio, a per-
sonal friend of the attorney general
The appointment of Warden Dyche
as a general prohibition agent in the
thirteenth division includes the state
of Oklahoma, from which state Mr..
Dyche came to Atlanta; and Kansas,
Missouri and Arkansas. Mr.. Dyche,
as general agent, will be under the
supervision of Division Chief A. R.
Harris.
"Mr. Dyche," said Commissioner
Haynes, who is retiring October 1
as the warden of the federal peni-
tertiary at Atlanta, which position
he has held for more than two years,
comes into his new responsibilities as
a man of splendid character and
preparation. He will ssume his new
duties about November l."
A friend of Mr.. Dyche said here
Friday that he intended to return to
Oklahoma City and reenter bust
ness, but the Haynes appointment
indicates that Warden Dyche has de-
cided to stay in the government serV-
ice. When the department of justice
reported his resignation, it was said
he would remain in the government
service.
The transfer of Warden Dyche to
prohibition work supports reports
that have been current here for the
past day or two that he was virtually
asked to resign as warden at Al
lanta, although the department of
justice listed his resignation as vol.
untary. The vacancy at Atlanta
gives an important appointment to
the attorney general and H. II.
Votaw, superintendent of prisons.
Albert Sartain, of Columbus, who
is slated to succeed Warden Dyche,
was sheriff of his county for four
years and has long been a personal
friend and political lieutenant of At
torney General Dau gherty.

Florida Man Injured
When Auto Is Struck
By Alleged Liquor Car

MIAMI, Fla, SPIT. 29.-Herman
Kuykendale, 80, of Fort Lauderdale.
was injured, probably fatally, this
morning, when an automobile al
legged to be driven by Steve Bravo,
and loaded with liquor, crashed into
kuykendale, who had just jumped
to the running board of his car,
which he was repairing on the right
side of the road, as the fast-approach-
ing machine rushed toward him.
According to witnesses, Kuyken'
dale saw the car approaching at :.
fast rate of speed and leaped to the
running board to avoid being hit.
The driver was unable, apparently.
to control the car which was rocking
back and forth, and it struck him
square on the back, smashing the
vertebrae and rolling him under the
wheels Of the car, which skidded on
the impact with the qu1verfng flesh.
kuykendale was rushed to the city
hospital, where grave fears are en-
tertained for his recovery.

Hall, Life Prisoner,
Asks State Board to
Grant His Release

I. B. Hall, Tiff county man who
was recently returned to Georgia to
complete a life term in prison, after
having resided in Florida for seven
years under another name, has filed
an application for a pardon or parole
with the state prison commission.
Halls case attrated nation wide
attention a few months ago by
reason of the fact that he was
turned over to the authorities by a
prospective son-in-law. He did not
want his daughter to marry under
an assumed name, so told her sutton
his life history in confidence. The
youth reported the scase to the au-
thorities, it is said, and the arrest Of
Hall followed.
In his petition, Hall states that
he was convicted of the murder of
Dennis w. Hall in the Tiff superior
court at the July term, 1913. He
was at first sentenced to be hanged,
but after a hearing, the prison COM
mission recommended life imprison'
ment, and former Governor John NJ.
Slaton committed the sentence. Hall
escaped on May 1, 1915, and was re-
turned to prison on May Is, 1923.
He is now on the chaingang in Tel
fair county.
Hall is represented by Attorney
r. D. Smith, of Triton. The plea is
based on self-defense.

be produced in the Carolinas and
commanded a higher price. 1t was

region will produce more tobacco
per acre.

Tennessee Senator
Makes Reply to
Wilson's Criticism

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. Is
Senator John K. Shields, in a pre-
pared statement released here in re-
Ply to a letter from former Presi-
dent Wilson recently published in
Tennessee newspapers, declared the
letter was mot called and published
in the interest of the Democratic
party but for the sole purpose of
injuring me with the people OF
Tennessee"
The Wilson letter contained the
phrase: Il regarded Mr.. Shields dur
ing my administration as one of the
least trustworthy of my nominal
supporters to which the senator
made reply that eff Mr.. Wilson'S &C.
cusation of untrustworthiness means
that L could not be dictated TO in
the discharge of my great official
duties as a senator representing a.
great state, he is right. If he means
that during his administration, I
did not support the principles of the
Democratic party and discharge my
duties as a senator honestly and
faithfully TO the best of my ability,
he is absolutely wrong"
Expressing profound sympathy
for Mr.. Wilson in mis- great and pro-
tracted affliction, Senator Shields
said, 1--WE cannot cherish resent
ment for anything he may~now say
He is immune from criticism
The senator challenged any man
to point single instance in which
he had failed to follow the Demo
cratic platform and asserts that the
head and front of his offending Mr..
Wilson is found in his opposition to
the propositions that the United
States become member of the
League of Nations and take a man.

HOKE SMITH NAMED
To REPRESENT PERU
IN CASE WITH CHILE
BY THEODORE FILLER
Atlanta journal News Bureau,
40R Evanx Building.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 90
Announcement was made here Sat
urday that Former Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia had been re-
tanned as attorney to represent Peru
in the forthcoming arbitration pro-
ceedings with Chile, in which the
president Of the United States will
act as arbiter.
The arbitration proceedings will
begin shortly, but the president has
not yet indicated the method of
procedure.
Robert Lansing, former secretary
of state, was engaged sometime ago
versy, but Peru has just concluded
the retention of Senator Smith.
These arbitration proceedings are
the first to which Chile has agreed
and will involve issues growing out
of the war fought years ago by
Chile, Peru and Bolivia, as a result
Of which Chile forced Peru and Bo-
livia to give up large nitrate de.
posits upon which Chile now de-
ponds for much of it's national
wealth.
The arbitrator will pass upon the
rights of Chile and Peru, under
what is now known as the treaty
Of Ancon, made in 1884, and which
provides for a plebiscite ten years
later to determine whether the prov
inces Of Tacna and africa should
continue the property of Peru or
go to Chile.
It is contended by Peru that Chile,
holding possession of the provinces
after the war was over, and after
the term fixed for plebisclte,
finally drove the Peruvians out or
the provinces and colonized them
with Chileans.
1t is now insisted by Peru that
Chile has SO changed conditions In
the provinces that a plebiscite can
not be held, and that the provinces
should be returned to Peru.
The dispute over these provinces
has been acute for a number OF
years and has threatened a renewal
of war between these countries.
Chile refused many times to SUD-
nit the matter to arbitration, but
finally has consented to do so, and,
within the next few months the
issue between the two nations Will
be decided Sy the president OF the
United States.
The case is one of great interest
and of large importance to botn
countries.

English Expert Gets
Ideas Here on Cotton
Production for Africa

ATHENS, Ga, Sept. 29.-Advice
of experts in cotton production at
the State College of Agriculture was
sought this week by H. c. Sampson,
of England, representing the EN-
pire Cotton Growers Corporation
of Great Britain, stationed in Zom-
ba, Nyasland, a province of northern
Africa.
Mr.. Sampson is especially inter
ested in the selection and pure seed
work with cotton, and spent two
days in consultation with Professor
r. r. Childs and J. r. Fain, rec
ognizo' authorities on cotton breed
ing work here, and was greatly i'm
pressed with the work they have
done in improving and maintaining
varieties of pure seeds.
Mr.. Sampson is making a tour Of
the southern states gathering all the
information possible in regard to
cotton culture, having recently
spent several days at the Delta
Pine and Land Co., Of Scott, Miss,
the largest cotton farm in the
world, and which is controlled by
English capital. He also visited sew
eral experiment stations in the
southwest.
Nyasland, the native country of
Mr.. Sampson, is an English posses
sion, situated just south of Egypt
in northern Africa. Great Britain
at this time is expanding a great
deal of effort and money toward the
production of cotton : under their
own flag. Mr.. Sampson stated that
only American varieties were being
grown and that a few are making
good yields. Though not having to
contend with the boil weevil they
have the boil worm, which is yearly
taking a large toll Of the cotton

Sixteen Men in Schooner
"BIoSsom" Set Out for
Mysterious Land in South
Atlantic Ocean
BY MAURICE .HENLE

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 20
'Bouvetr'
Mention that world to a hardened
mariner Watch the lids of his
eyes tighten. Watch him grow a
shade whittier.
For "Bouvet," mystery island of
the mysterious South Atlantic ocean,
has baffled, so far as is known, all
attempts at exploration, all efforts of
civilized white men to plumb its Sc
cretS.
On or about the coming October Is,
| sixteen adventurous souls will point
the nose Of a three-masted schooner
| toward Bouvet, and the myriad of
other romantic hooks in the South
| Atlantic and Indian oceans, about
which folks know so little.
! These men, commanded by George
| Finlay Simmons, will leave New
! London, Conn, in the interests of
! science. Sailing under the colors of
the Cleveland Museum of Natural
history, they will be gone two long
years.
To Gather Specimens
They will visit many places, gather
many natural specimens, see strange
s1ghts-but nothing so intrigues the
imagination as their contemplated
and determined exploration of
Bouvet, mystery island.
About two years ago Paul Mar
shall Rea conceived the idea of a
greater museum for this city. His
| idea expanded so rapidly, he now is
ready to undertake a 100000 expedi-
ton in vessel that costs 5000,
merely to insure something worth
while for the Ohio metropolis.
A new building will be finished by
the time the expedition returns in
two years. And Cleveland promises
to have an institution rivaling it's ia
nous "competitor"-th Museum of
Natural History of New York City.
What the 16 men will find on
Bouvet they do not even profess to
guess. Whether they will find it is
in itself question.
When others approached it, it
seemed to vanish in vapor. And yet,
despite the repeated failure of mar
iners to land on Bouvet, seafaring
men are positive such place exists.
Off Cape of Good Hope.
1t is about thousand miles south
west of Cape of Good Hope. The
legend goes that the Frenchman, for
whom the island is named, and two
others are the only ones ever to To-
cate it. And it is not certain they
were able to land, for no record or
what they found ever came back to
the world.
It is the question mark of the
seas, fully as mysterious as Island
X" the bfain-child of a novelist in
a recent effort.
Many other islands will be visited,
probably so in all-Fernandorona
Trinidad. the Sandwich group, ker-
bulen and many more.
In all probably 10000 miles will
be travelled. That could only be a
guess, though, Commander Simmons
explains. The winter season will
be spent in Africa, with Cape Town
at the base of operations.
In two years the expedition wilt
return.
And the members aboard, MANY
scientists from various sections of
the country included, firmly believe
they will have added a new chapter
to science of America.
