The inten tion was to o'.Uain a court order foi Hit deportation of the offender. One '?uti in Austria, bo would he punish ed severely, and thc lcHson would b? taken to heart by ull residents and citizens of Austro Hungarian origin l.-i the United i?tates. The attempt, apparently, hus com* to naught Tlie accused man prop erly refused to answer auy questions in court, denying the right of thc Aus tro-llungarlan government to quiz him and defying lt to remove him from the country. The Judge whe acted as examining magistrate had tc acquiesce, admitting that he wat without authority to make Clopielo wskl answer. Hut it is an amazing thing that thc man was dragged Into an American court at all on such a charge. Il is ono of tho simplest fundamen tals of American constitutional free dom thut no man can be punished on American soil for a. political offense committed in a foreign country-ot constituting a crime only under the laws of that country. Tho most sacred aspect of American soil has always boen Its character as political asylum for thc oppressed of other nations. Moreover, we welcomo, as we al ways have welcomed, freedom ol speech on tho part of new immigrante no less than of native citizens. If any new-comer chooses to express his opinion of his former government 01 of ours, ho has a perfect riirht to do so, whether he approves or condemns, Tho arm of no government In the world is long and strong enough to reach across the Atlantic and drag back home for punishment a subject whom we do not recognize as a crlm !.**!. Neither has lt power to closo t.iat subject's mouth. The only limi tations to his free utterance, whether he la a naturalized citizen or nut, aro American law and American stand ards of propriety. It has been remarked that this mis taken attempt to niisuao American courts Is merely a feeble form of "frightfulness," lntendod to scare Austro-Americana tram working In j munition factories and from expres sing their honest opinions of the re pudiated Hapsburg sovereignty. It ls but one pbase of a general campaign to terrorize our immigrant Citizens through threat a of punishment for do ing what they have a perfect legal and mural right to do. Immigrants of whatever nationality or sympathies cannot be made to un der:.tanti too clearly that the United States ls the same haven of refuge for tho oppressed of other lands that it has always been, and that the whole power of a nation 100,000,000 people ls back of their newly won liberty, opportunity and citizenship. All that this country requires of them ls that they shall show/proper respect for our own government and institu tions, obey our laws, keep clear of mischievous alien propaganda, and flt themselves aa rapidly as possible for Intelligent American citizenship. FA KM AMD KITCHEN ECONOMY England ls at last following Ger many's examplo in advocating food economy. The Dritlsh board of agri culture has issued a leaflet appealing to tho pooplo to safeguard the nation a mut! and fuel supply in every pos sible way. "Preservo and store your crops with the greatest care," urges the board. "Eat little meat. Cook vege tables by steaming. Use less coal and gas. Sa?e fodder. Waste norning." Of course, all thia lajust as good advice to tho English In time ot peace as in war time. And it is still more applicable to the American people, who are notoriously tho greatest wasters of food and fuel In the world. How many millions Of dollars codltl be saved by American fanners and gardners if they would "preserve and store their crops wiUi the greatest caro." How many millions would be saved by all classes ot our people and how much better their health would probably be-If they would curtail their consumption! And in the general quest of econ omy, the kitchen should not be over looked. We probably waste In Ameri can kitchens aa much aa we waste In fields, orchards and gardens. The good food thrown Into garbage cans woull teed a nation the also ot Bel gium. The nutriment we* waste through improper cooking methods would keep Mexico from starvation. Tile fuel we waste in our cooking would serve to cook nearly all tti? food of a Kreut, frugal uutioii ?ke Franje. Thia matter ol ?tove (uri in worth a special word. All coal stoves uro wasteful; only a minute percentage of the heat is actually utilized in cooking tlie food, and the average eook or housewife makes that per centage unnecessarily small. The waste is fur more iiagrant, however, in a gas stove, for the gas consump tion can be much more easily regu lated. Most cooks U6c at least three times as much gus a? they need for their cooking. If they could only get the fact into their head that boiling water c?n't be made any hotter, and so can't cook things any faster, no matter how big a Haine is huming un der it, American households would save million: a year in gas hills. Hut that's something that not one woman In a hundred will believe, in spite of all the science in the world. AN ANN01NCEMENT On Thursday morning, October 7th. The Intelligencer will carry a full page article written by grain experts pertaining to the sowing of oats and tile great need in Anderson county and the state for an increased acre age in grain. Tho articles to be published aro written my such men as W. H. Bar ton, assistant state agent of Clem son College, W. lt. Hutchinson, pro fcsBor of agronomy at Clemson Col lego, Prof. YV. H.

Hynrs, furm demonstration agent of this county, and others. These "gralu special" articles will cover the prepa ration and fertilizing t t the soil be fore planting, diseases ol .-amil grain, harvesting, etc., und will be of vita1 interest to the farmers of this section of the : (at-. In aldition to these tliore will be an article stating ap proximately how many bushels of grain arc needed in Anderson county to supply the local demand. During thc fall of 1914 probably there was thc largest acreage sown in oats in Anderson county that ever before. One reason for this was be cause of the low price of cotton ?.nd the outlook for thc same thing thin year. Another reason, It ls hoped was because Anderson county farb er.: are just beginning to realize how much a good grain crop ls worth to them, both in the way of tho feed pro duct and also in Improving the land. October is snld to be thc month for sowing oats, and with the rains that have been falling for the past few day, soon farmers in all section of the county will be right In the midst of planting. The articles on grain in the Issue of The Inte, lgcncer next Thursday will be of interest to them Weather Forecast: Local rains Fri day; Saturday fair. -I-o A special meeting of Hiram Lodge, A. P.

It will bc remembered that this case was beard In tho court of common pious two or three times and final ly went to the supreme court for settlement Tho plaintiff. Mr. Wake field, it will bo remembered, was suing the defendant, Mr. P. E. Spoon, for an account amounting to approx imately $2,01)0. The court of common picas decided for the plaintiff with In tercut on the amount from the date of maturity. The case was appealed to the supreme court on the grounds that tho Interest should not have been Included in the judgment. The su preme court favored the plaintiff on this exception. After this decision there came up the question of who should pay the costs, which came be fore .Mr. rearman for judgment. The plaintiff claimed that he won, and the appellant claimed that he bad won, since the supreme court decided that he (the appellaut) should not have to puy the interest. Mr. rearman held that in as much as the appellant was injured in the lower court, and got bis judgment modified in the higher court, he was therefore, the prevail ing party and should pay the costs. Only tow cases of this kind have ever come up for decision in Anderson county. -o Capt. J. H.

Sept. 30.- Un ter normal conditions the moll weevil idvances Into new territory at the rate of about 50 miles each year, but luring a period of only two weeks luring the present season there was in advance of about 100 miles. This movemeut cat ried the insect iuto lieorgia for the firBt time, and 25 Bounties in that state became infest; ?d. Several counties In Florida have been Infested for several years but ?lg t additional oucs became infest ed by the same movement; Twenty additional countloj In Alabama were ilao invaded. All of this spread took place between the 15th and 31st of August. Thero were several conditions ac :ording to the entohologists of the United States department of agricul ture, which contribuid to this unusual iisprttlon. Ono of them was the Irougtit in Alabama and Mississippi, which caused tho plants to cease Fruiting and deprived thc weevils of tho ?queres upon which they pre fer to feed. The more >upoi'tani condition, ho wovor, was a series of very high winds which! began on Au gust l? and blew continuously fur sevpral doys toward the northeast. Hie weevils were thus carried much Farther tha'i they would have gone jy natural flight or even by U.ie aid >f ordinary winds. The department has placed all ivailable forces at work to assist the Farmers in the territory that bas Just pec?me infested. Most of thc cotton a now open and this will allow an un usually early picking so that the fall >roods of tile weevil can be destroyed >y uprooting and burying thc plants of burning them where necessary. The department strongly urges the burying of the plants wherever thia :an be done promptly, us the humus hereby placed in the soil ls of very ?reat importance. The stato agencies ire cooperating with the agents of the department, and a very active ?fTort will bo made to reduce the tumber of weevils to the extont tba?, viii allow an approximately normal ;rop to bo produced next season. Another feature of the boll-weevil >roblcui which is attracting consid erable attention is the damage that s being doue in Texas this season. There is a more or less general im pression in the eastern part of tho :otton belt that t':e boll weevil has lied out in the state of Texas, but he investigations of the d?paraient how that the abundance of tho in lect in that region d- pends on clima te conditions. During the present eason these conditions havp boon ex remely favorable with tho result that he Insect has been as abundant as at .ny timo since lt invaded the state. The lessor, to be drawn from this fact s that the planters in the eastern ?art of the cotton belt must make a trenuous fight, and shoal realize that Ince the boll weevil has not died out tither in Texas or Mexico-it ls not A all likely to do so in. any other egion that may become Invaded, fhey should adjust their systems of arming to boll-weevil conditions rithout delay.

BOMB FIGHTS AT GALLIPOLI Ancient Wennon a Greift Factor. Some Extraordinary Tunneling. Writing from fae Gallipoli Penin sula about mid-June, Captain C. IO. Bean, the official press representative with tho Australian troops, has this to say of the fighting with bombs there: "A good cricketer is the man for tho bomb-a man who can throw lt pretty straight and who can field it when lt is thrown at him and throw it back straight again in tho same ac tion. The bombB first appeared before tho trenches were close enough for them, to be thrown from one into the other. Paney! The first sign we had ot their presence was by finding one lying with a dead Turk in a captured trench-jost a little black Iron ball witii a fuse to lt-tho whole about the size of a cricket ball. Then a night came when some Turks atole up to a trench and throw a bomb onto t'.-.e parapet or into the trench. They ha*. Just begun to bo taken, oft before tbo Second (Australian) Brig ade and the New Zealand Infantry went south to Cape Helles, yet when we got back to Anzac next day we found that the bomb was an estab lished fact there, and lt has become almost the main weapon since. "The deadliest weapon here is our bomb mormtar-a short gun which the Turks by this time know only too well which throws its bombs about 150 feet high-you can see lt going by day or night-Into the enemy'a tronche. Our bomb mortar works with a pow der charge, hut I think the Turks have, or had. an instrument Uko the ancient catapult, for throwing tlblrs. In this warfare you caa throw per haps fifty hand bombs to every big bomb." Writing a r.'.onth later. Captain Bean says: "The campaign pt Anzac differs from that in any other aroa. This is owing to the fact that a very large part ot the transport work which elsewhere can be carried out by wheeled transport has' here to be car ried cu human shoulders. "Everybody in the wbolt ?Wa is all the time within range, af the. enemy's guns and periodic test from fire such SB ls possible now for the troop?, bl France ls ImposrlDle -within this aroa.

"The New Zealanders threw 570 bombs from Quinn Vs one day last week and kept twenty yards of the headcover of the Turkish trench burn ing for a whole night and part of the lay." . Ge?sberg's Potato.
