Friends of Prohibition in Com
plete Control in House.
Washington, Dec. 8.-Friends ?f
prohibition, in complete .control in
the House, made a clean sweep to
day in knocking out amendments to
the prohibition section of the treas
ury supply bill which they claimed
were designated to weaken the en
forcement of the Volstead law.
Standing alone at times, Repr?
sentative Hill, republican, Maryland,
sought to limit the money spending
activities of the prohibition unit, but
his proposals were thrown out bodily
after 30 minutes of bitter debai? in
which the manner of the law's en
forcement was commended and con
demned. Numerous references were
made to the annual address to -Con
gress delivered earlier in the day by
President Harding, and there was
vigorous applause when members re
called that the president had said the
18th amendment was here to stay.
The bill stood like a stone wall
against ?ttacks by Mr. Hill's group,
.which often included only himself.
It had not reached the point of pass
age tonight because of an agreement
to defer until tomorrow action on a
provision for substituting fast power
presses for hand presses on which the
government's money long has been
printed at the ibureal of engraving.
Crampton Scores Hill.
The biggest vote against the prohi
bition group was seven, that num
ber of members supporting an
amendment by Representative Tink
ham, republican, Massachusetts, pro
viding that men emp?oyecl in en
forcement work should be appointed
from the civil service, against 56 in
opposition.
Characterizing Mr. Hill as the min
ister plenipotentiary of the Asso
ciation Opposed to Prohibition, re
publican, Michigan, declared the
Maryland representative was helping
the organization in an effort to nul
lify the 18th amendment by ham
stringing the enforcement unit. Mr.
Crampton asserted that the fight had
been brought to the House on the
heels of "the splendid appeal of the
President," and Mr. Hill interjected
that while in the Senate Mr. Hard
ing had stated the American people
had the right to repeal any law "any
association has the right to attempt
to repeal a law,'' Mr. Crampton shot
back, "but so long as that law re
mains in effect it is the duty of every
American to strive to make it effect
tive."
Says Would Destroy Law.
The only purpose sought by the
association, Mr. Crampton went on,
was not to repeal the Volstead law,
but to destroy it by indirection. Tak
ing issue with statements that ' the
prohibition forces had suffered House
losses in the November election, Mr.
Crampton said that out of the 80 re
publican seats lost,. the net dry 'loss
was only nine.
Representative Thorpe, republican,
Nebraska, elected for the short term
ending in March, said he was proud
to vote with the friends of prohibi
tion.
Representative Knutson, Minneso
ta, republican whip, told the House
he voted for the 18th amendment and
the Volstead law, but found now that
"as the appropriations for enforce
ment go up whiskey prices come
down." He asserted that thousands
of illicit stills flourished in the coun
try, and "that girls and boys in their
'teens are coming home drunk."
On the other hand, Representative
Raker, democrat, California denied
that liquor was easily obtainable and
asserted that nothing in 25 years had
done so much for the manhood and
womanhood of the country as prohi
bition.
1,106 Students in the Baptist
Institutions.
Rock Hill, S. C., Dec. 7.- There
are 1,609 students in the various
Baptist Colleges in the state as com
pared with 629 in 1910, Charles A.
Jones, secretary of the educational
movement of the Baptist church in
South Carolina, reported to the Bap
tist state convention here today. He
said that in 1910 there were only'
490 doing full college work, where
as there are now 1,223.
Anderson College, according to
the report has an enrollment of 246
while Greenville Woman's College
has increased its enrollment 147 since
1910; Furman University 86; Coker
College, 185 and Limestone 43. There
are 485 students in six Baptist aca
demies.
The value of college property own
ed in the state is more than $2,250,
000 with endowments of more than
$1,100,000.
Among the students in the colleges
are 149 studying for the ministry of
whom 111 are being aided through
school. Missionary students total 116
of whom 28 are receiving church aid.
Regarding Boll Weevil Control
Measures.
Clemson College, Dec. ll.-Opin
ions* in regard to various boll weevil
control measures proposed from va
rious sources are numerous. Farmers
are urged not to form too hasty con
clusions in regard to these recom
mendations, because frequently the
results secured were not due to the
recommendation made, but to a com
bination of weather conditions, good
land, good seed, good culture, etc.,
suggests Prof. A. F. Conradi, Ento
mologist.
To illustrate, a man came into a
cotton field and divided it into two
equal parts called A and B. He used
his treatment on part A, leaving part
B untreated. Part A produced more
cotton than part B, and he concluded
that this was due to his remedy. This
man did not make any determination
as to the amount of weevil infestation
on different parts of the field be
fore he started, nor did he make
these determinations after the reme
dy was applied, to fird out whether
his remedy was really having any ef
fect or not. Furthermore, on the part
B. side of the field there were forests
with underbrush along the edges,
while the part A side of the field ad
joined a public highway and the
edges of the field were clean. Part A
?was somewhat lower than part B. In
festation counts showed that the wee
vii was much more numerous in B
than in A, while the application of his
remedies did not show any variation
in infestation. In fact, there was no
evidence whatever that his remedy
had any effect. He did not make these
infestation counts and he never knew
how many weevils he had in different
parts of the field. Part A gave more
cotton than part B, and to hsi own
mind and to the minds of neighboring
farmers this was sufficient evidence
that his remedy was helpful. Many of
the planters in that community are
going to use the remedy next year.
The farmer looks upon such opera
tion as an expertiment, but is a mat
ter of fact it was not an experiment
nor did it even resemble one.
In certain sections farmers claim
that they got excellent results in
controlling the weevil with some cerr
tain remedy they were suing up to
July 20, after which they claimed it
was no longer effective. Among these
remedies tried and claimed to be ef
fective were calcium ?rsenate liquid
spray, calcium arsenate dust, calcium
arsenate sweetened, kerosene and
red devil lye, etc. The facts are that
none of these remedies controlled
the weevil, but that the weevil did
not appear in any great numbers un
til about July 20. Had these farmers
made the necessary infestation de
terminations (which any one can
make), they would have been con
victed of this. They did not do this
but blankly .assumed that just because
they put this stuff into the cotton
field and no weevils were present, it
must have done good.
Pruning Young Fruit Trees.
Clemson College, Dec. ll.-Prun
ing the young fruit tree is a very im
portant matter in successful fruit
growing, says A. E. Schilletter, As
sistant Extension Horticulturist, who
makes the following suggestions:
1. Young trees should be cut back
at the time of planting (a) To bal
ance the loss of roots removed in
digging from the nursery; (b) To se
sure low heads.
2. Three to five main or "scaffold"
limbs, spaced six to eight inches
apart, where they arise from the
trunk, form a desirable frame work
for the tree the first year.
3. These three to five scaffold
limbs should divide during the second
year, to form six main limbs at a
height of approximately five feet
above the ground.
4. Once the desired main limbs are
secured, subsequent winter pruning
should consist of thinning out and
shortening iback.
5. Maintain light laterals through
out the length of essential limbs from
the trunk of the tree upward.
6. Maintain an open center to prop
erly light the leaves of these lateral
twigs.
7. Judicious, light pruning may be
done in early summer to "shape"
young trees, by checking water
sprouts, avoiding even forks where
undesired and maintaining proper
balance of limbs.

Sculptor Begins 8-Year Wor!
?on the Face of Stone
Mountain."
One of the greatest memorials th
world has ever known-a tribute t
the soldiers who fought and died f<:
the "Lost Cause"-is being carve
in the rock on the sheer side of Ston
Mountain, sixteen miles east of A
lanta, Ga.
. JFor a mile across the smooth, pei
pendicular face of this giant mom
lith, all the pomp and circumstanc
of a nation at war will be etchei
and at ,the head of his soldiers, lea<
ing them into battle will be Gen. Roi
ert E. Lee, idol of the Confederac
and one of the greatest military leac
ers the world has ever known. B<
hind him in detail, will be shown Gei
Stonewall Jackson, John B. Gordoi
J. E. B. Stewart and Jefferson Davi:
Eight years will be required t
complete the project, which include
besides th?! carving on the mountai
side, a park of several hundred acre
at the base, an open air"theatre pal
terned after the Coliseum of ancien
Rome, and capahle of seating twent
thousand persons; a museum hollow
ed out of the mountain wherein wi!
be deposited treasures of the war t
be dedicated to the Daughters o
the Confederacy.
> Some idea of the magnitude of th
statues can be gained from the out
line of General Lee's head which ha
been placed in position on the moun
tain. It is 9 feet in height, the nos
is two feet. All the other figures wi!
be carved in equally heroic pr?poi
tions.
Bor glum in Charge.
Gutzon Borglum, world renowne<
sculptor, will have complete chargi
of the work, while hundreds of sculp
tors from all over the world hav
written him, asking permission to as
sist. +
Mr. Borglum has donated his ser
vices. He says that he intends t<
make the Stone Mountain Memoria
the greatest thing he has ever done
He would not allow the Daughters oj
the Confederacy, originators of th<
plan, even to pay his expenses whilt
he is in Atlanta at his work. He say!
all of the other artists who have ask
ed to be allowed to assist simply wis!
the distinction of having part in the
work and seek no pay. Mr. Borglum
said: -
"People of the world cannot vis
ualize the magnitude of this under
taking. It will become one of the
world's greatest classics. ' It will be
greater than the Lion of Lucerne, and
that seventh wonder of the world, the
Colossus of Rhodes, and will take its
place among the marvels of the uni
verse. I am happy and proud to have
a part in the undertaking and I in
tend to make it my life work.
"Of course the work will be filled
with dangers. Many of the men en
gaged in it may lose their lives for a
false step at any time will mean an
instantaneous death-yet the thought
of danger oialy heightens my desire
to overcome all obstacles. And what
great work has ever been accomplish
ed with out it attendant tragedy?
"The Stone Mountain shall become
a reality. It shall live as long as time
itself to perpetuate the memory of
those stirring Civil Wax days.".
Will Work at Night.
Mr. Borglum plans to do some of
his work at night. To that end, he
has designed an especially powerful
telescope lens for the protection of
magnified figures against the huge
mass of granite by means of which,
with a powerful light, photographs
are to be thrown against the side of
the mountain, as upon a prodigious
screen.
"Many people scoffed at this idea
at first," Mr. Borglum said, "but I
told them they could project pictures
on Mars if they could get a powerful
enough light. Carving statues at
night will be something new, but it
is just as feasible as working in my
studio at Stamford, Conn.' '
Mr. Borglum, assisted by several
engineers actively supervised the
erection of scaffolding down the side
of the mountain from the top, and
after drawing the head of General
Lee, superintended placing it^on the
exact spot.
At present he is completing a
$100,000 assignment for Newark, N.
J., to be known as the All-America's
War Memorial. As soon as this has
been completed he will return to At
lanta and resume his work. He will
remain then until it has been com
pleted and the memorial is an actual
fact.
A Wonder of the World.
Stone Mountain itself is an eighth
wonder of the world. Thousands of
people from all over the United
States annually visit this greatest
single mass of granite anywhere in
the world.
Rising seven hundred feet on its
sheer side;, where the memorial will
be carved, it covers an area of seven

I miles. It is one mile from the base to
?the summit of the approachable side
Sam. H. Venaible, an Atlanta mil
lionaire, who owns the mountain and
has deeded the perpendicular side to
the Daughters of the Confederacy
for the. memorial as well as the tract
of ground at its base, which will be
called Confederate Park, obtained it
many years ago in exchange for a
mule. Since then he has made a for
tune selling granite from the quar
ries on its far side.
None Ever Scaled lt.
It is a popular belief in Atlanta
and towns adjacent to the mountain
that it was once the home of a great
Indian tribe and that the Indians were
the only ones woh were ever able to
scale the perpendicular side, where
the memorial is to be. placed. Many
in recent years have tried, some have
met death, others have been able to
get a part of the way up ,but never
has a man been able to go all the way
to the top of Stone Mountain except
along the one beaten track from the
south approach.
The present day Ku Klux Klan
held its first initiation at midnight
atop the mountain and since that
time has held many/'ceremonials on
it. It is said that in die carpetbag
days just after the Civil War, the
real Ku Klux Klan held many meet
ings there.
The feasibility of the mountain as
a sounding board was recently suc
cessfully demonstrated by Marie Tif
fany ,opera star, whose voice was
heard a mile away from the mountain
when she sang with her back to the
perpendicular wall.-The New York
World.
Many Counties Want Demon
stration Agents.
Rock Hill., Dec. 9.-Men and wo
men in counties where there are no
home demonstration agents are mani
festing great interest at this time in
securing appropriations from their
legislative delegates for the employ
ment of these agents for 1923. In
the last few weeks - requests have
come to the state office at Winthrop
College for information relative to
the eost of employing a home demon
stration agent in three counties now
without agents since there is money
available at headquarters for finan
cial assistance in employing only 36
home demonstration agents and 36
counties* now have these agents. It
looks as if there will be a scramble
among the counties as to which will
get assistance from the state and fed
eral appropriation for this purpose.
