(.SYNOD MEETS AT CHESTER OCTOBER 3 .Notable Meeting of Presbyterians of South Carolina to he Held Next Month. I Chester, Sept. 21.?The synod of the Presbyterian church of Sovjh Carolina will convene at Purity Pres( byterian church in Chester Tuesday, & October 3, and will remain in session through Friday, October 6. This promises to be a notable meeting of the Presbyterian ministers and elders of South Carolina :":d frVa 200 to 225 are expected. A number of matters of interest to the church will be discussed and! . , I ^cted upon. The fiev. W. 21 Hudson, D. D., one of the Southern Presbyterian church's most distinguished missionaries to China, who has been in America for over a year and was honored by being: made moderator at] Greenville, last October when the J ?:ynod convened in that city, hast jjst returned to his field in China to, resume his activities. He had hoped j to preside at the synod in Chester,: but the urgency of the call was so, imperative to return to the great ac-j tivities that he has underway in j China that he felt he would have to j forego the pleasure and honor of j . presiding at the synod and return, j which he did a few days ago, leaving his family at Columbia, where sever.al of the children will attend school. In Dr. Hudson's absence the Rev. James B. Green, D. D., of the chair .rtf tVionlnonr of t.Tip fJolumbLa semi nary of Columbia will deliver the ^opening sermon at the synod. Of striking interest at this synod j -will be the attention that will be ^iven to the discussions of popular meetings for home and foreign missions. One of the outstanding speeches t.o be delivered at the synod will be that of Dr. Egbert W. Smith, one of the most eloquent men in the .Southern Presbyterian church, who will deliver an address on the Afri,*an mission field, from which he has just returned from an extended visit. The Rev. Thomas H. Law, D. D., of Spartanburg, stated clerk and . 'easurer of the synod, recently underwent a serious operation. However, he has sufficiently recovered and his many friends will be glad to know he will be able to attend the synod in his official capacity. The permanent clerk is the Rev. H. Waddell Pratt, D. D., of Colum bia. The members of Purity church are looking forward with much pleasure to entertaining the synod and is making elaborate preparations for making the visit of the synod to Chester one of the best it has ever held. Homes have been provided for all the delegates. MAN SAVED BY ASTHMA Drinks Whiskey Only When Suffering An Attack Greenwood, Sept. 23.?Using as a nlea in his defense that the pint of liquor found in a bureau drawer in *Tis place of residence was kept only for use during attacks of asthma, W. 3. Williams, a white man, appeared m his own behalf in County Court here, when arraigned for violation of the prohibition laws. A jury of his peers promptly returned a ver diet of not guilty, after having been allowed to smell the pint bottle of evidence. Six other pints of liquor were found in the old man's potato patch and produced in court, but ::~?erted that he knew nothing of their origin. He explained the presence of fruit jars smelling of liquor rr>d found in his residence by saying that he found them by the roadside and brought them home, intending to can beans in them. Since the verdict of not guilty, prohibition officers declare that they are fearful of other outbreaks of asthma.

Jr | Following is a very interesting ar[ j tide written by him telling how he >rs ':ls able to contro1 the pest that thr?-itens the welfare of the world: j J "In November 1921 I ripped up D' -nv cotton stalks with a two horse D. ' . plow. Then I raked them up with a iss i q mower rake and burned them up. In December I turned the land with a 'two horse turn plow. ch dJ It rained so much during the winofIter months I didn't get to plow until j March. Being so late I disc-harrowed 10-!. jit. Then laid it off deep with a middle-buster and just before planting ie' :irug the beds down with a drag li-' j harrow in order to resemble an old J bed. of ! I began planting the first of April. ;Had a distributor run just in front ?r i _ i of the planter. I jj. | When the seeds began to sprout j) i narrowed witn a ur<ig iwnuw. The 15th of May I began to chop cotton. ;e, The 18th of May I began to hunt irs the boll weevils, finding them in the n(j buds. By the 6th of June we had je> found 6176 boll weevils with myself, ]e> my wife and three little girls huntling. Each one was paid twenty cents ge per hundred. By the 18th of June we ^'jhad found 7872 boll weevils, excus' j ing what we had walked across in the field and killed instant. I know we didn't kill less than 300. We dropped them into bottles of kerosene. m-; ! As soon as I got through chopping ^ ^ ^ 1 i cotton I began*to run my cultivator, ooj dirting with small wings. Center furrowing after each plowi ing. 0SAfter the second dirting I began ar~ to bunch the cotton. Nothing scarce jn"jly to do with the hoes. Plowing once land twice a week. s aj At this time the cotton began to ^ be too large to find the boll weevils an easily. inff The 8th of June I began to use 0I"k the calcium arsenate poison which 1 ver made a solution of one gallon ol black molasses, one gallon of watei ?e" to three pounds of poison. lias i would mop the cotton once a the Week. The next day after the cotton ins was mopped the poison would lool lay white like it was put on in powdered >s | orm. As soon as I would get ovei cu^ mopping with poison I would pick up .squares in baskets and sacks and be- bury in a large mire. ingj I continued to mop until the last Hie of June. At this time the cotton had 'n?:so many large limbs until it was too much trouble to mop, so I made me up- isveral little sacks out of cheese er. cloth which I attached to a forked -nt stick. Then we began to dust soon Ic- and late while the dew was on. lOA iad we had to do was to shake the stick er. uid the poison would fly. for I stopped dusting about the loth ick of July, and picked up squares and bolls until the last of July. tva I used about fourteen gallons of ns, >nck molasses, about 60 pounds of calcium arsenate and about 150 lbs. sen fertilizer per acre, 8-3-3, no side ast dressing at all. >ad By the second day of September ( had picked one bale of cotton, and Ln- by the 13th had picked three bales. ier I am making from 800 pounds to a hnlp fr> tVip anrc.
