Speaking of the late John Whisonant (Arkansas John), who died last Saturday, a well known citizen of the Pied mont Springs neighborhood, said to Views and Interviews: "He was a pretty well-liked old fellow; but was especially noted for telling some wonderful stories that we did not always believe. For instance, one of his stories was that out in Arkansas cotton stalks grew to be large trees and many a time he has sat out on the limbs of a cottoh stalk to pick cotton." Case of a Bad Check. The next time anybody gets off a bad check on Sheriff Quinn they will know it? The sheriff having advertised certain lands in Fort Mill township for sale for taxe j, penalties and costs, before the first Monday in October, when the land was to be sold he received a cheek to jwty the bill. The sale was withdrawn; but the check came back marked no good. The land was readvertised, Just before salcsday the parties at interest sent another check, endorsed by Charlotte attorneys. It was presented by a local attorney. "Don't know the Charlotte endorser" ^ said tho sheriff to the local attorney: but if you will endorse the check it will be all right. The local attorn'-y endorsed the chock and the property was withdrawn from sale.'* Potato House*. "Why peop'fc don't get together and erect sweet potato houses strikes mc as strange." said a we'l-known busi ness man to Views and Interviews a I few days ago. '"I suppose I know about as much about sweet potatoes as the next one," ho went on. "I know that they are easily and .cheaply raised. I know that i they are not worth much as a money crop?that is at regular digging time the price goes almost down to nothing ? that if you keep them until January ! or February you can generally get a fair price for a limited quantity. As I see it there is not much encouragement; for cash money profit in potatoes. Hut j with the best you can do at saving po- I tatoes in hacks, the trouble and risk | always amount to more than you are! going to get out of the undertaking. J Hut it don't cost much to put up a i standard potato house, and it seems to J me that neighbors should cooperate in i the matter. If two or three neighbors would get together and put up a house on a co-operative basis, between what they could use on the table, sell on the market and feed to hogs they would find that it wou'd pay." Questions About the Dog Tax. Ail the questions that Treasurer .Veil lias to answer don't come from benighted laymen. Listen to this, which i came to the treasurer through the mails yesterday: Hock Hill, S. C\, Nov. 9, 1921. I .Mr. Harry Neil, York, b'o. Ca. Dear Sir: I noticed your article in the papers requiring all owners of dogs over six months of age to remit you $1.25. I am just in this predicament, that my children are the possessors of a poodle dog that was given to them about three weeks ago. When the dog was delivered to them there was no j statement accompanying it as to its i age or parentage. The appearances j (from the dog) are that it is a pup, but j l?y Investigation 1 find that no record has horn kept as to its date of birth, J and you are doubtless aware that it has not learned Hie ICng'ish language. Now if by an examination of the animal you can tell its age 1 will bring it over to you, but without your assistance in that respect 1 am at a loss to know how to act. I am afraid if I send the money and it should develop it is a minor you and ltroadus will never return the money. This dog is a female and I have sum delicacy in giving its age more than what it actually is tor fear of offending it. J'lease advise nic. Yours very truly, \V. M.

The convocation of the International Conference on Limitation of Armaments and the Pacific and Far Eastern Questions, as its formal and official title runs, is set for tomorrow moming, Nov. 12 in Continental Hall, the home of the Daughters of the Ameri| can Revolution in Washington, and j will be open to the public. If present plans arc adhered to, the public will not be admitted to any of the following sessions, which will be held in the Hall of the Americas in the Pan-American Building, one of the most beautiful structures in Washington, which the late Andrew Carnegie erected in 1906, at the suggestion of Elihu Root, then secretary of state and presented, to the Bureau of American Republics as its home. No date has as yet been set or suggested for the termination of the conference. To the Limitation of Armaments Conference proper five nations have been invited and will be represented by delegates They are the British Empire, France, Italy, Japan and the United States, the same nations which during the World War and at the Paris Peace conference formed the controlling group known as the Principal Allied and Associated Powers. The same five powers will be rcprc" * v?'L.lnrro Hnnc nt t hf I semea oy .tne suing conferences on the Pacific and Fai Eastern Questions, but to these latter discussions four other powers, by invitation, liavc sent delegates.

Their status, it has been officially announced, will be thai of the "most distinguished guests" ol the conference to the sessions of which it is expected they will be invited ir from time to time as questions ir whiclv they have a direct interest conic up for discussion. Only official delegates will attend the conference, except when open sessions .are held, ant1 necessarily only the "Big Five" delegates will actively participate in al discussions of the full conference unc1 the committees into which it will be divided. Five Powers the Principals. It lias been agreed that none of the five principal powers shall send men than four accredited delegates, wh< have ambassadorial status, though t< the British Empire four additions delegates have been permitted, repre senting India and three of the foui great overseas dominions. Each of tin invited nations has also sent her mos distinguished military ami naval leaders as official advisers on questions o arms limitation, while large staffs o technical advisers are also attached t? each delegation. The field to be covered in the dis cussions of the conferences became th< subject of diplomatic interchanges be tween the interested governments a: soon as President Harding's invitatioi had been issued and accepted. As ; result of this discussion a definite pro . rr,-i,,?me limiting and defining tin I | range of the conference was drawn ui i by Secretary <>f State Hughes and ac I ccpted by the other powers.

On July 10 the State Department announced ' that the president had approached Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan on the question and within four days all four powers had announced their > willingness to accept an invitation to a Conference on the Limitation of -Armn monts. On Aug. 11 Mr. Harding sent out his formal invitations, in P which Armistice Day *SToV. 11) was P originally set for the first meeting. Fundamentally and humanly, the confercnc# marks the revolt of the , people of all the earth from the horrors, wastes and burdens of war and preparedness for warfare. x President's Invitation. The text of President Harding's formul invitation to the Arms Conference, 1 as given out on Aug. 11, was as folI lows: The president Is deeply gratified at the cordial esponse to his suggestion . that there should be a conference on the subject of limitation of armaments, in connection with which Pacific and Far Eastern questions also should be discussed. / Productive labor is staggering under | an economic burden too heavy to be borne unless the present vast public expenditures are greatly reduced^ It I is idle to look for stability, or the assurance of social justice, or the security of peace, while wasteful and unproductive outlays deprive effort of its just reward and defeat the reasonable ! expectation of progress. The enormous disbursements in the 1 rivalries of armaments manifestly con-' stitute the greater part of the encumi . Drarice upuil uiilcti ]Ji lac a.?iu iittMunai 1 prosperity; and avoidable or extrava! gant expense of this nature is not only without economic justification but is a constant menace to the peice of the world rather than an assurance of its preservation. Yet there would seem to be no ground to expect the halting of these increasing outlays unless the powers most largely concerned find a satisfactory basis for an agreement to 1 effect their limitation. The time is believed to be oppor1 tune for these powers to approach this 1 subject directly and in conference; and 1 while, in the discussion of limitation 1 of armament, the question of naval 1 armament may nuturally have first place, it has been thought best not to 'exclude questions pertaining to other armament, to the end that all practicable measures of relief may have appropriate consideration. It may also be found advisable to tabulate pro' posals by whicli in the interest of humanity the use of new agencies of warfare may he suitabl" controlled. It is, however, quite clear that tlfbrc can be no final assurance of the peace of the world in the absence of the de' sire for peace, and the prospect of re' duccd armaments is not a hopeful one ' unless this desire finds expression in a practicable effort to remove causes of 1 misunderstanding and to seek ground JI for agreement as to principles ana meir application. It is the earnest wish of this govf eminent that through an interchange f I of views with the facilities afforded by ' j a conference, it may be possible to flna a solution of Pacifc and Far Eastern problems, of unquestioned importance 2 at this time; that is, such common understandings with respect to matters R which have been and are of internai tional concern as may servo to promote 1 enduring friendship among our peo' | pies. ' j It is not the purpose of this govern1 ; meat tq attempt to define the scope of " | the discussion in relation to Pacific ' i and Far East, but rather to leave this "I to be the subject of suggestions to be ' j exchanged before the meeting of the " ; conference, in the expectation that the ' spirit of friendship'and a cordial ap' preeiation of the importance of the j elimination of sources of controversy ^ ! will govern the final decision. " ! According, in pursuance of the I proposal which has been made and in " I the light of the gracious indication of ; its acceptance, the president invites " ; the government of Great Britain (the i name is changed in other invitations) 1 to participate in a conference on the ! subject of limitation of armament, in " j connection with which Pacific and Far Eastern questions will also be discussed. to be held in Washingtpn on the lltli day of November, 1921.

THE BATTLE FOR FREEDOM Story of King's Mountain and Its Meaning. . *{ SWORD OF THE LORD AND OF GIDEON Where, How and by Whom Was Es* tablished the Boon of Human Liber ty?Overthrow of Arrogance and Pride Through Rough Mountaineers. For The Yorkvllle Enquirer. Let us go back In Imagination to the 26th of September, 1780. The place is a lovely valley in the eastern part of Tennessee. Off to the south is the outline of the "Great Smokies" and near at hand tower spurs of the Alleghanies In the dazzling sunlight, presenting in purple and gold a picture of loveliness. But there is near a serious body of men at the foot of Yellow Mountain on the Wautauga, armed with Deckard rifles, many clothed In the buckskin of the frontiers man, most of them in tears with prayers on their lips. The venerable Samuel Doak, a Presbyter-' j ian minister engages in fervent supJ plication to God for the safety of the men, and as they are departing, clones his utterances with the famous Bible quotation. "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon." Who are these strange men and what object have they in view? They are Scotch Irish Presbyterian soldiers from that region under the command of Shelby, Sevier and Campbell: and they march across the mountains to the distant borders of the tyo Carolinas to defeat and destroy that mon_ ? l^axiyifaAtl whn Ster Ol imam), uuiuuci x e had left in the south a track of burning: houses and dead or starving men, women and children. A man of gentle blood and noble descent was Ferguson, yet he neither regarded man nor respected God; he seemed to delight in inflicting torture and misery on poor helpless humanity?a man of "blood and iron," he laughed at kindness and made a mock of mercy. He was of the Scotch nobility and regarded common people as brutes and beasts of burden. He was in September, 1780, carrying on his fiendish work in the border counties of North Carolina just east of.the Blue Ridge. So these stern faced avengers turn their faces eastward and begin their long journey filled with hardships and toil. In front of them is the blue top of Mt. Mitchell beckoning them onward to the call of duty and the service of humanity. As they arc encamped on the summit of the "Bald of the Yellow." two men, James Crawford and {Annuel Chambers desert and convey to Ferguson tidings of his doom. It will be recalled that the American cause seems hopeless and helpless at this time. All that Ferguson has to do is to march straight to the camp of Lord Cornwallis at Charlotte to safety. But no; he takes refugo'on a* small spur of the King's Mountain range and laughs at j his foes. He is said to have boasted that God Almighty could not dislodge him from this place. Thus situated Ferguson would have been secure t except as against these expert riflemen from across the mountains. The battle ground is a ridge about six hundred yards long and about two hundred and fifty from one base across to the other; or from sixty to one hundred and twenty wide on the top tapering to the south?"so narrow" says Mills "that a man standing on it may be shot from either side." The top is about sixty feet higher than the other lands in that section. On the 7th of October, 1780, Ferguson and his Tory band look out on a vast expanse painted in yellow and scarlet flaming with the glory of autumn and on which the smile of God is stamped; but they have no eyes for this beauty, for they soon And themselves surrounded by these pioneers who had come from afar?joined, by their compatriots from South Carolina and headed by the gallant Campbell who begins the attack and leads iiis men into the fray. Our men rush up the mountain with terrific yells striking terror to the hearts .of the j enemy. Instantly the conflict grows hot and furious?our troops assaulting from all sides, surging up the hill and driving the Toriep helter-skelter. They in turn, with bayonets gleaming along the hill sides, rush the Americans tiu> ?i,,nes Now it is that the | battle grows fierce?guns flushing, men I shouting, groaning, cursing, dying. Through it all sounds the shrill silvet whistle of Ferguson guiding and directing his men, encouraging here and threatening there. It is soon apparent that the Presbyterian riflemen, cool and well poised, are deadly in earnest and their bullets go straight to the mark. As the British push the Americans down one side, their comrades as I quickly attack from the other side. Shelby, a man of iron, goes forward and upward like a man with a single purpose, to do or to die. The mountain appears aflame along its summit and around its base, with the guns spitting tiny sheets of fire; the shouts of the 4 4 '*-- """"I' rxf riflnq t hp > mountaineers, me uatn v* | roar of the musketry mingled with the moans of the suffering:, create the impression of pandemonium. The play of death is fearful?the sky is darkened with the smoke of the conflict and the earth quivers with the beat and ' throb of battle. Will the men of God, or the son of Delial, Ferguson, prevail? The battle writers and hangs in the balance / There the brave Edmondson falls; I Henry is wounded and the gallant I Williams, hero of Musgrove's Mill is dying. Campbell, our leader,, with blue 1 eyes flashing and red hair tossing, like ' a typical Scotch highlander with gleaming claymore in hand, is a host. His clarion voice rings above the < clash and tumult in tones of command. Thus the battle rages for nearly an hour. Ferguson and his men flght with almost superhuman power and bravery, and, bad man as he is, we must admire his persistent courage. But "Gideon's Band" never loses heart. When repulsed they rally with ease and precision. The men from the mountains grow in enthusiasm and the number of their foes steadily becomes smaller. Then there is a mighty shout and an advance by the American troops on all sides; Ferguson, seeing that all is lost 1 attempts to cut his way down the mountain and falls pierced by many bullets. When Ferguson falls the heart goes out of his men and his empty boast has vanished into thin air, and God Almighty and right are triumph'ant. The dawn of our National day begins to break and the Clock of the Republic begins marking the hours, days and years of our National glory, and the United States of America has become in deed and in truth ono of the great facts of the world. Shelby, Williams, Sevier and Campbell are a part of the ages and are among the few immortal names that were not born to die and King's Mountain is the turning point in thd history of the American continent and is one of the great battles of all times?a decisive moment in history. Ferguson has lost but America and civilization have won. C. J. Ramage. Saluda, S. C. MONUMENT TO VETERANS f Ann White Chapter U. D. C. will Erect Memorial Shaft.

BROWN MOUNTAIN MYSTERY Scientists Explain Mysterious Hi* nomenon. / m .1. i SUPPOSED TO BE DOE TO ELECTUClTf Sam* Thing to Ba 8**n in th? Andaa Mountain*, In th* Swia* Alp* and El*ewh?re?Thi* Particular Phenomenon I* ObMrved In Lat* Spring and Fall. "Tired professors and business men who sought surcease from their sorrows in the mountainous regions ot western North Carolina, have during the past few summers gtven up some of their much-needed hours of sleep to chase what most of them believed to bd nothing more than a phantom, or the witch flres of some maker of mountain dew, but the Brown Mountain Light I* now coming into its own as an accredited electrical phenomenon," says a. bulletin of the National Geographic society, issued from Its Washington, D? C. headquarters. "Brown Mountain lies seventeen miles from Blowing Rock In, the Blue Ridge mountains in the western part of the state, and, though plainly vialble from the resort, is in an uninhabited and sparsely wooded section. Suddenly and without warning a light sometimes blazes out on the crest of the mountain, slowly moves down Its side and then fades out; sometimes it seems to rise from the top of the mountain and hang suspended in the air, where it fades. A Wraith of Infinite Variety. "It has as many whims and moods as a temperamental artist, sometimes appearing several times during one night, now stationary, now slow, again swift in 'Its flight, and sometimes it cannot be seen for a comparatively long par rlod of time, but it usually is most act- Kj ive when the sky- lp clearing after a rain. Those who have studied it la all its guises say that it .often is not unlike the star from a bursting, skyrocket, though much brighter, and that it is sometimes red and sometimes yellow, due probably to the condition of the atmosphere. "Scientists were at first prone ts cavil at the stories which came out of the mountains with the tourists, thinking perhaps that locomotive headlights or wily mountaineers were playing tricks on active imaginations, but today Dr. J. W. Humphreys, physicist of the United States Weather bureau, and other meteorologists of note, believe that there occurs around ths mountain's crest a brush discharge of lightning, similar to the famous Andes 53 lightning, or the St. Elmo's fire, which gave rise among the Greeks to ths myth of Castor and Pollux. That glow which accompanied the slow discharge of electricity to the earth from the atmosphere, in southern climates, during thunderstorms, seen on the tops of masts, spires, or other pointed objects, was named St. Elmo's fire by sailors after one of their patron saints, because they felt that when the sign appeared they had nothing further to fear from the storm. Compared to Andes Display. "Perhaps the most remarkable fea* > 3s ture of the electrical dlifcharge which t&kes place eidher from the earth to the clouds or from the clouds to the earth around Brown Mountain la that It la silent. The same thing is true of the electrical displays in the Andes, which have long been known to scientists and travelers In the South American continent as the Andes lightning. It appears ?s a silent but very luminous S discharge of electricity along the crest of the Cordillera Real in Chile, In a region where thunderstorms are prac* ticaliy unknown. "Its visibility is sometimes very marked, having been noted by the former director of the Meteorological and Geophysical Institute of Chile, while he was out at sea, more than 300 miles from the head Cordillera. The actual discharge, in which the mountain actf as a lightning rod between the clouds and the earth, resembles a glimmer, but sometimes the flashes which take place at the point of origin are strong and powerful, then gradually diminish in. intensity and Anally disappear into the night. The light flashes over me mountain from late spring to fall, and the displays grow less brilliant oa one goes farther south. | "The same phenomenon has also been noted in the Swiss Alps. One observer, after a long period of hot and dry weather, reported that he had seen a succession of semi-circular flashes which shot up from a mountain in the Bernese Oberland, occasionally lighting the Jungfrau group. Such displays are notable for their likeness in ap- , pearance to the aurora, except that they do not reach such heights." Where She Goes to Sulk?What is a boudoir for? Most people think it is a little room where a lady goes for privacy and to entertain her intimate friends. 1 ?. "*3 '* According to the origin of the word, however, she really retires to her boudoir for the purpose of sulking. The word "boudoir" is denvea irom the French "bouder," to pout, or to be sulky. So its real meaning is "a place in which to sulk." ' i ?
