The organisation has been trvinc for some time to get this rate on the Col'-irb;f. Newberry ar?d Laurens railroad, land in a letter received from Mr. J. i\ Taylor, president of the C., N. &.L., he advises that the rate will go into effect cn Tuesday, August 8th. The letter received from Mr. Taylor reaos as follows: j Columb'i. S. C., August 2, 1922. Mr. C. P. McDaniel, Secretary, j Chamber of Ccn:.:v.e:\e, ! Newberry, S. C. ; Dear Sir: ! Replying to your letter of the 31st ultimo. A. C. L. lumber transit carrier Xo. u I. C. C. No. B-20Soi effective A.ugust 8th. 1022, provides for milling in transit on lumber at all paints on the C. N. & L. railroad. Yours very truly. i (Signed) J. P. Taylor, President. The rate referred to above means that lumber shippers who ship lum: her via the C. N. & L. will <~ave a considerable amount of money, especially if it is to be dressed in transit. Fcr instance, should a party at Kinard want to ship a car load of . lumber to Columbia it could be stopped1 in Newberry and dressed without additional cost, with the exception of , the - mall charge for the car. Heretofore. if the shipment was stopped in Newberry io be dressed the ship per would have to pay more than the regular freight rats. 1 The news of this special rate should . be received by the shippers with much satisfaction and thanks to the Newberry chamber of commerce and the C. N. & L. railroad company. GAME ENDS IN DRAW Mollohcn and Fountain Inn Battle to Tic The State.

Kershaw, Au.,r. 4.?A. Jeff Gregory, prominent farmer and formerly cotton we'ghei- at Kershaw, was s'hot and killed by his son, Paul Gregory, at his home a few miles from Kershaw at about 8:00 o'clock this morning. Young Gregory used a 3S calibre rifle, four bullets taking effect to cause almost instantaneous death. Young Gregory, himself, give the alarm, telephoning to friends in Kerfh:w that he had killed his father. TTi> was taken into custody by Sher iff Welch within a few ncurs after the killing and is now in the Camden jail facing trial on a charge of murder, the coroner's jury investigating the homicide having held him responsible far the death of his father. Young Gregory is about 18 years eld, but is r.mail for his a;?e, having been crippled by an attack of infantile paralysis. The only eye witnesses of the patricide, if any, are members of the immediate family and these with P:ul Gregory hhave declined to make any st-iement about the shooting. Paul Gregory have declined to make any ter, officers h^ve been informed, witnessed the tragedy. Neither, however, testified at coroner's inquest, the jury's verdict being based upon admissions of young Gregory. The boy, afLer having conferred to firing the four shots to persons first reaching the house *ias refused to?wake ar.y further statements. officers say, except to ray that he acted in defence of h'G mother and sisters. The first persons reaching the house after the killing found a loaded p!sLol grasped in Mr. Gregory's hand. The revolver hfld not been fired. Mr. Gregory wac about r>0 yearn old and is prominently connectc i and well known in both Kershaw and Lan caster count'es.

Continuation Control Measures Advised Clemson College, July 31.?"The most striking feature in the boll weevil situation is the irregularity of the infestation, not only in the various i ountic.: but on individual farms and even in single fields," said Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist, at the weekly boll weevil conference here tCvOjy, after hearing reports from the field specialists who were present for the conferenc and from the county agents Over the state. At the ciose of the conferenco the following statement was given out: The weather during the past week while hot was moj>t and generally favorable to weevil development. 1 should be explu.iieil that hot and dry weather is the weevTs worst enemy, but with the exception* of a few loralitips we have had no such weather during the past week. Showers h:ve been frequent and the atmosphere moist, which offset the benefits that would have been derived otherwise from the weather. The percentage of squares infested varies, as shown by the reports, frcm a sir. ill percent to 60 or 70 percent. This condit:on is frequently very misleading to farmers who are given the credit of low infestation to one or otner 01 control measures they ^rc attempting, when ?=: a matter of fict the infestation was not there to begin ,with. We know this to be the case, because there have been accumulated over a period of years a series of most elabo.nte 'data in experimental woiik showing what results may be expected ?jj^n one or the other of these various control under, the best condition:. Square collecting when lone thoroughly cr. the plant and on the ground is s'/ll advised throughout the Piedmont section, and in other sections and areas where light square infestation occurs. Frequent shall aw cultivation should be continued so long as cotton does not i-ufficiently overlap for this to be injurious. It is very necessary that the labor situation be. controlled dur'ng August for the purpose of rquare collecting and cultivation. Failure to have labor available may mean much less. Fruiting over the state generally is very good. Bui if f equentiy hap pens that individual, .armers have a small crop of fruit sot at this time, a condition which would hardly be duo to natural conditions but probably to pocr soil 2nd poor seed. It must be kept in mind that good soil and good <-eed are two thing; most necessary before one may expect profit frcm any operation for boll weevil control. Frequently \vc are asked to advise whether dusting should be undertaken whore souare infestation has reached upwards of CO percent. This depnds on: 1. Whether the farmer is prepared to dust immediately. If so. then we advise him to du:t, rut there is r.D time left now {,0 secure dusting machinery :ind poison, knowing: that weevil dispersion is about to begin. 2. Whenever the dusting: schceduje has been begun it should be continued with view of reducing Ihese high infe?tat:o?"!s before the dispersion begins. MEN RIDDLE HOUSE OF NEGRO SHOPMAN % Unknown Persons Bombard ResiJ dencc of Strikebreaker at Reel; Hill Rock Hill, Aug. 4.?A party of unknown men. us^ng pistols and shotguns, bombarded the Jjomo of Alex Punlap. negro strikebreaker, st 3 fViio rvi rnn i n tr Dnnl-in U^rno U 11JI I\ Lilt.- UH ^uiiiuj/ lifVM on Crawford highway. ju?i beyond Clinton inst'lute. Xo one was hurt by the firing, but the rear windows of the house were shattered, while :evera! loads of rhot entered a bed in the rear room. Dunlap and his wife were sleeping in a front room and no shot? were fired into this portion of the house. Dunlap has been working in the local' shops of the Southern railwaj I / since the shopmen walked out on strike. Whether the home of the nejgro was assaulted by strikers 2nd , strike sympathizers is not known, j The police are conducting an investi| g'ation. About 24 shopmen walked out i here on strike orders July }, a number of these being negro helpers and car cleaners. J. Webb White, in charge of the local shops, stated that he had employed several negroes since the walkout and that he now has none at work in the shops. Dunlap did not go to work this morning, stating that he would rather have another job and a whole skin. The remainder of the force turned up at the usua'l hour. This was the first indication that everything was not calm locally, and the incident served to greatly drmm!?:h sympathy for the strikers. No further trouble is anticipated here.
