STARK Abbeville County Farmer and Busi ness Man Nominated for Director J. S. Sark wa$ Iborn in Abbeville County in the Rocky River section, in 1861, on his father's farm. Rearod in the community where he was bom, he received his edu cation in the country schools of the community. Arriving at manhood he became a farmer, residing on the farm with his wife and two * 1 ono T_ I daug/lters unm aouo. Ill wai< year he moved to Abbeville, S. C., whore he engaged in the livstock business ' as we'll as continuing to farm. As ^ he prospered he became more and 1 more interested in farming opera- ' tions until he gradually became the ' largest landowner in the county. ; He re-tired from the livestock busi- J ness in 1919 to devote himself to agriculture. 1 ] In 1919, the Planters Bank was . organized at Abbeville, S. C., and { he was elected president. His bank has safely passed through the finan cial depression and is one of the thriving istitutions of the county. Mr. Stark is a member of the Baptist Church, tho Chairman of , the Bo$tfd of Deacons, a large con tributor to the progressive move ments of his church. He was a leader and liberal contributor to all < caJls during the war period, and one of the three largest buyers of j Liberty Bonds in tho county. , When the Abbeville County j High-way Commission was created, f Mr. Stark was made its Chairman, this being because of his (be- ] ing one of the first and most ( earnest advocates of good roads in j the county. The bond issue for this , purpose in Abbevillo County was : due very largely to his influence. He has advocated eveory progressive ( measure for the benefit of the farming interests, being one of the early advocates of Co-operative Marketing. He was immediately se_ ' locted to become a member of the organization in committee of the State Association, wluch success fully directed the organization and secured a greater percentage of cotton signed up than any State ' with one exception. ] After atarting the State move-j ment he immediately returned to ; his home county, -placing himself i and resources behind the movement and more signers were secured to 1 the contract through his influence and effort than by any other in- 1 dividual, and himself signed the largest number of bales of anyone in the county. His bank immediate ly endorsed the Association and fought for it. A man of sound business sense, progressive without being radical, willing to ibo ahead, 'but first discov ering the ways and means; conser vative enough to guarantee safety: in the full vigor of his manhood, active and always anxious to be of service; never a seeker after pub lic office nor an aspirant for posi tion hi6 friends in Abbeville Coun ty believe he will serve the farmers of the State most acceptably as a member of tho Co-operative Cotton Marketing Association. 1 WHISKEY RAID U. S. Deputies Charlie Lyon, Jr., C. J. Bruce and Federal Prohibition Officer Boggs Kennedy yesterday arrested Bunk Lawton charged with running a still on the R. W. Cowan place near Wellington. The still was destroyed. Whiskey was being made in a big gasoline drum. It seems that Lawton is an escaped convict wanted by the authorities in Ches ter County, where a reward has ; been offered for his apprehension. In the same raid Luther Lawton and i Katie Hutchison, colored, were also taken. ! Luther Lawton was brought be fore U. S. Commissioner W. D. Wil kinson this morning and gave 'bond. u Bunk Lawton was carried to And-j erson. NEW VETERINARIAN Dr. M. Harkavy, graduate veteri- ] narian of the Ohio State University, ! has decided to locato in Abbeville, 1 and can be found at Ferguson's ! stable. Dr. Harkavy has also taken ' a course in agriculture at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and is fit- 1 ted to help the farmers of A'bbe- J ville County 'in the care of their ] stock. j For short distances the salmon is believed to be the fastest fish. \ 1 HECTOR ARRIVES FOR ST.

COURT UPHOLDS MARY PICKFORD State's Highest Tribunal Rules in Favor of Moving Picture Star. Action in Nevada. Carson, Nev., June 1.?Mary Pick ford's divorce from Owen Moore was sustained today when the Nevada su preme court affirmed the order of Dis trict Judge Frank P. Langan quash ing service of summons in the action brought by Attorney General Fowler to set aside the decree granted the movie star. The divorce of Miss Pickford from Owen Moore, also a screen favorite, at Minden, Nev., March 20, 1920, precipitated an action by the state for the dissolution of the decree on the ground that Miss Pickford's resi dence in the state had not covered the period required by law. The district :ourt. in which the divorce was grant ed, was asked to review its decision and reverse itself, but held that the action had been regular and that the iecree would stand. Attorney General Fowler then ap pealed to the state supreme court, :harging that the divorce was obtain ed through fraud and collusion on :he part of Miss Pickford and con tending that the Minden court had 10 jurisdiction. The defense answered that the state was not an aggrieved party and, therefore, had no authority under ;he Nevada law to prosecute the ac tion. Arguments were heard here January 30. Miss Pickford married Douglas Fairbanks two weeks after the di vorce. TO TRY FOR SUNKEN GOLD British Admiralty Fits Out Ship to Recover Laurentic's Treasure London.?What will probably rank as the most successful submarine treasure seeking expedition ever in augurated is now on the point of leaving Portsmouth dock yard to re sume operations. This particular venture is managed by the British admiralty and the treasury jointly, and its business is to recover the gold bullion which went to the bottom in the liner Lau rentic when she was torpedoed in Lough Swilly during the war. Already some 4 or 5 million pounds' worth of the gold has been salved. There yet remain 2 or 3 mil lion pounds at the bottom of the sea which the salvage ship Racer cvill try to recover. Modern methods of submarine treasure hunting are very different from those that used to be in vogue, [t is no longer necessary to use han'd jumps. Cucumbers were originally tropical vegetables.

She was laid to rest amidst a large crowd of sorrow ing relatives and friends. The beau tiful flowers that covered her grave were a token of the love felt for her. The family has the sympathy of the community. A Niece. BE PREPARED TO POISON BOLL WEEVIL "In time of peace, prepare for war," is a proverb more or less in ' disfavor in international negotia- * tions just now, Ibut it still applies to , fighting the cotton bol,l weevil, says _ the United States Department of Agriculture. Late poisoning is like- ' ly to hurt the fanner more than it hurts the weevil, and the only way to be sure of getting an "even break" with the weevil is to be supplied in advance with calcium 1 arsenate and dusting machinery. < "We find every year," says B. R. I Coad, director of the boll weevil 1 laboratory, "that many farmers fail to realize their danger early enough to start making desperate efforts to poison after the infesta cion aas imujue very ucwvjr. j.ncy scurry around trying to get calcium arsenate and dusting machinery, and nearly always there is consid erable delay. Even when they get the poison and the machinery, it is extremely difficult to control weevil infestation after it becomes severe. There are so many weevil stages .present in tho squares and bolls that some of them come out every day and poison must be kept con stantly on the plants if any good is to bo done by it. This very greatly increases the expense of poisoning. Then, if there comes even a short spell of rainy weather, such con trol as has been gained is lost and tho farmer has gone to heavy ex pense for nothing. We advise all cotton planters to be extremely careful about starting laito season poisoning. In a few cases, it has been successful, but at heavy cost and only under the most favorable conditions. Tho only safe course is to be prepared to poison at the right time. Write the Delta Labora tory, Tallulah, Louisiana, for in structions "When and How to Poi_ son." (Ju MOTrlEft m.
