Scraps and Jacts. ? Will H- Hayes, head of the Motion Picture Producers' association, has issued an order cancelling all contracts of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle and withdrawing from exhibition the finished plays of that notorious screen comedian. This means that Arbuokle is out 'of business at least for the present. Arbuckle, when asked about the matter, declined to talk, declaring that he had nothing to say until he could see further. He said, however, that the action of General Director Hayes had come as a surprise for which he had noi uet'ii iiiuniue. ? The so-called economic conference ] at Genoa was thrown into confusion i -Yionday with the announcement that < Germany and Russia had signed a I treaty under which Germany gives < Russia full diplomatic recognition and < although it'is not certain as to the ex- 1 tent oC the treaty, it might mean an \ offensive and defensive alliance. Inas- 1 much as the principal object of the t Genoa conference was the reaching of < "an agreement between the principal ( Allied nations and Germany with Russia under which all could come to an understanding with Russia on an equal basis, knowledge of the treaty brought consternation. Lloyd George became . very angry and did not try to conceal the fact- France, which has all along 1 been more or less isolated because of her unwillingness to participate in the conference on equal terms with Germany and Russia, was also angry; but withheld an explosion, because she realized the extent to which Germany . had vindicated her position in this manifest disloyalty to the other Allies. The nations promptly drew up a note of censure to Germany and, the deliber- | ations of the conference have since , been very much demoralized. What ' the final outcome may be is a matter of genera! apprehension and doubt. *?.. t\-,a marsrin of 71 votes the " house on Wednesday night broke away from its own leadership, stood behind the president and passed the 1923 naval appropriation bill with an amendment fixing the enlisted personnel at ' 86,000. The vote on the McArthur- < Vare amendment, the big point in dis- j pute, which increased the man force from 67,000 as provided in the bill, was 221 to 148, with two members answering present. Ninety Republicans voted against the 86,000 amendment with 48 ' Democrats supporting it. A bare hand i clap or two greeted the announcement < by the speaker. The gdllerles, half deserted, made no attempt at a demonstration. With the fighting section out 1 of the way the bill was put on its pass- i age and went through, 279 to 78. As ( amended, the measure carried a total of $251,269,000, or about $18,000,000 1 more than the total fixed by the appro- t priations committee, which framed it. It goes now to the senate, with the charge by Chairman Kelley 'of the naval appropriations subcommittee that j many millions will be added and which the house will be asked to add "had 1 not the big navy men changed front at i the last. As compared with 90 Repub- ( . licans who voted against the amend''ment, 173 Republicans voted for it, while 16 others were paired for it. As i against 48 Democrats who voted for \ the amendment, 57 Democrats voted ( against it, while 14 others were paired against it. _ " * ... * ( v-?Predicting that the Mississippi 1 J'"" PTceed by one foot the f ' .highest flood stage ever-attained here, *JDr. I. JI. Cline, forecaster of the New 'Orleans weather bureau issued a retwised forecast Tuesday calling for a 1 Maximum iff'feSfifebt-'li^ttvefett1 'ifiaj" 1 \ and JO. The previous record, which .was established in 1912, was 22 feet. .The forcaster stated that recent rains ? over the Mississippi valley and un- i j-fcvorable winds which have retarded c Xthe flow of the excessive volume of , .'fwater into the Gulf of Mexico have :intensifled flood conditions and made the new prediction necessary.. Tues- \ day's upward revision* of flood stages j .is the fourth that has been issued ? .since early in March when 29 feet was predicted. The Southern Pacific rail- a 'road announced that service on its v branch from Baton Itouge to La ( ..Payette, Ln.. has been discontinued . because of high water in the Atchaf- 1 iaya river basin. Viekshurg reported c that backwater from the Mississippi t and Yazoo rivers had flooded approx- t: iniately 1,382 square miles of territory in the lower. Yazoo basin. No 1 reports of loss of life have been re- h ceived and all live stock have been re- c moved to places of safety. Heavy rains during the past 48 hours were said to have increased the danger to ? the levees in the third Mississippi h river district but headquarters at j, Vicksburg reported that nothing be- t yond minor troubles had developed at any point. I ? A demonstration typical of his turbulent Russia, greeted General Gregorie Semenoff, Cossack chieftain, as he left Ludlow street jail, New York, on Wednesday afternoon. Released in v $25,000 bail furnished by his friends, q the Cossack ataman, surrounded by a a detachment of police, appeared at the jail door and cringed into his coat col- ? lar as the jeers of thousands fell upon r his ear3. Ludlow street was black f with the crowd, which had stood in a driving rain for several hours awaiting Semenoff's release. When his friends, a accompanied by the sheriff hurried t into the building carrying $20,000 in r currency and 5,000 in Liberty bonds, the crowd sent up a howl and moved a closer to the entrance. Extra details 1 of police were ordered to preserve or- t der. Hundreds of persons stood on the v roofs of tenements and hung on fire escape ladders. They were driven off by 1 the police who feared homo tn rowing. i Semenoff betrayed nervousness as he ij descended the jail steps. He kept close to the guards and quickened his step as the crowd, breaking through 1 the police line at one point, gathered t around a taxicab at the curbing. He j, entered the cab, accompanied by several policemen and his friend, George 11 Kroupsky, his former military aide in v Siberia, and was whisked away t through a lane in the crowd made by ^ mounted patrolmen. General Semenoff was arrested in New York two weeks c ago in connection with a civil suit involving the theft in Trans-Biakalia in s 1919 of goods valued at $475,000, the property of the now bankrupt Yourovet Home and Foreign Trading compa- a ny. He was released that night on bail j; furnished by a bonding company. This ^ company later recalled the bail and the general was taken to jail- In the mean- a time members of the Siberian expedi- ti tion of the American armv preferred f charges against him in Washington, claiming that he caused the murder of soldiers in the American expedition. u ? Orders to deputy commissioners f and head of divisions of the internal revenue bureau revising all inquiries j ofr application for appointment in tlie . bureau to be made through the appointment division wore made public 1 by Commissioner Blair. The orders, r Mr. Blair explained have been in force a for several years and were re-issued to facilitate a more orderly consider- v ation of appointments. A recent ap- b plication for an appointment as a a l>ook keeper by a man whose qualifl- ^ cafions were those of an automobile mechanic. Mr. Bl.vir said, had been the occasion Tor ine re-issuance or nm or der in order to make possible more t efficient selection of appointees. Some s bureau officials, however, construed c the order as forbidding them to confer c M . . vith members of congress or others ( >n the matter of appointment without ^ irst obtaining the approval of Com- . nissioner Blair or the appointment livision. It was suggested that an ^ ippeal might be made to Secretary e Mellon for a revocation of the order, j Mr. Blair declared that the order did lot prevent duty commissioners or livision heads from conferring with < nembers of congress regarding ap- <3 ^ointments nor did it have any appli- c sation to Assistant Secretary of the rreosury Dover, who has re-organ- ' zed the customs service and is understood to have under consideration a 1 lumber of changes in the internal t evenue bureau. Mr. Blair said his wqo f the soviet form of government all veil-ordered people of whatever gov'rnment must agree that further confllence in an individual or in a government after a clear repudiation of hon ;st debts is impossible. The death of Mrs. W. L. Roddey, in . Rock Hill marks the earthly close of a AdtAlfal and useful-life that has been i t benediction tp those immediately 1 ibout her and a blessing to the comnunity in which she lived and the j ;ountry immediately around her to a J arger extent than the public can ever * mow, especially in detail. The deceased j vas the widow of the late Captain VV. < j. Roddey, one of the principal builders t if the- city of Rock Hill, materially ] is well as spiritually. As to which a vas the greater of the two is not for t is to say. Though not claiming like c ntimacy, we doubt if even the children ' ould tell. We do know however that j he principal concern of Captain Rod- ? ley, during his lifetime, was to find he best ways of being of real use to r lis fellow man without his agency be- o oming known, unless absolutely ' lecessary, and from what Mrs. Rod- ? ley has been doing since the death of ( ler husband, it is evident'that they c lad been full partners in this work all a he while.

During a visit to Winnsboro this i.rtoL- ?Vio oHitrir of The Yorkville En- ^ [Uirer had the opportunity of making , few investigations concerning the rlgin, qualities and usefulness of that emarkable soil building and renovatng legume known as bur clover. While most York county farmers re now familiar with bur clover as he earliest and fastest growing leguite of which they have any knowledge nd, too, while they know it as one of he greatest producers of nitrogen in he whole list, not excepting cow peas, elvet beans, crimson clover, or any of he rest of the great family, and while t is commonly understood that Winnsoro is the principal source of the seed, inless The Yorkville Enquirer is misaken, it is not generally appreciated hat so far as the agricultural world s concerned, Winnsboro is the origilal home of this. legume, and except rhere it can be traced as having been nought from Winnsboro, it is not mown to the agriculture of any other ountry in the worldJust at this time bur clover is to be ? een throughout the town of Winns- 1 ioro and in the country surrounding in 11 1-1,,,-v nf it? full maturity. The ? ... ">v B-? " - -- - VJ awns and gaitlens arc covered with t t, where it has not been plowed up, .1 md on many farms there are great I ields of it in which it has attained its ' ull development ready to be turned (| inder to fertilize crops of corn or any 1 >ther crops that can still wait for a I a ew weeks for seeding. ; The great value of bur clover lies in F ts excellence as a cover crop for the ' ate fall, through the winter, and es- ' lecially in the early spring, when it f lot only makes excellent pasturage at t i time when there is no grass; but 1 then it can be turned under to pulverfi and enrich the soil as it is enriched ( nd pulverized by no other growing $ hing. I * There are various theories around I Vinnsboro as how; bur clover came L here originally. There are oeaplc who 1 ay that it was brought there when j Iherman's army passed through. ^ )thers say it was probably brought here by a circus, and others say that t has probably been there always. The i(iost convincing explanation, how;ver was that offered by Senator T- H. ietchen, a third generation resident if the town, whose explanation carried ;onviction for the reason that it was lirect and explicit, and was backed by :ircumstances wunin nis own uumiration. According to Senator Ketchen, the egume first made its aprrarance about ifty years ago in the garden of the ate O. R. Thompson, who could ac:ount for it in no other way than that t sprung from seeds that must have jeen in a sack of seed potatoes that lis son sent him from California. He iad first observed the stuff in the patch n which he had planted these potatoes ind it was there that Mr. Ketchen had Irst seen it. From Mr. Thompson's garden the :lover gradually spread over Winns>oro, and as it spread from one garden ind field to another, Mr. ^Thompson md his son came in for more or less mprecation, because so far as any>ody was able to see this strange plant vas nothing but a nuisance, that irowded out other more desirable rrowths and that no animal would eat, )r at least it was commonly thought hat no animal would eat it, until years ifterward. The late G. H. McMaster, who in his lay was a leading merchant of Winnsjoro, was the first man to try to draw aublic attention to the real value oi jur clover. He used to explain its peculiar qualities and say that somelay It would make the farmers c! Airfield county rich. He wrote many irticles about it for the News and flerald; but for his pains he got little >lse than ridicule and derision froir seople who would reply through the aaper in extollation of the qualities ol :he cockle bur, bull nettle and dog fennel. There is still a common ides throughout this section that the bui Clover is unfit for grazing; that nc inimal will eat it. When asked aboul :his, Mr. Ketchen showed signs of impatience. "Well it is a fact that 11 seems to be an acquired taste wit! nost animals; but it is a mistake thai :hey won't eat it. They will not only jat it; but they are fond of it." H< said that cattle get to where they prefer the bur clover to any other greer feed, and to prove what he said h< winted to a fine Guernsey cow with a ecord of seven weighed gallons ol vhole milk a day while grazing on bui :lover alone. Also he stated that there ire many hundred head of cattle or Dur clover pasturage in and arounc iVinnsboro and throughout the county MERE-MENTION.

Ten reporters and five persons vhn flidn't h.ivn tn nttpnrl were nres :nt Wednesday when Commissioner if Accounts Hirshfield resumed his nquiry into charges that history text tooks used in New York public schools ire full of pro-British propaganda.

Later, Mr. Russell said, he learned that the late tndrew Carnegie was financing a similar movement, which resulted in he toning down of the accounts of he Revolution and the war of 1812 in leveral texts. George E. Morrison, of s'ewburgh, New York, former newstaper man, blamed the American look company for most of the present listory text books, drawing from Comnissioner Hirshfield the remark that le had heard the American Book umpany with a British corporation.

CATAWBA PRESBYTERY Catawba Presbytery of the Asso ciato Reformed rresoyieriun niuitn ir.ct wit 1 the church at Winnsboro last Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock with practically all the churches represented by thirty-five delegates, and after four earnestly busy sessions during which little time was lost, adjourned Wednesday to meet in the fall at Tirzah, with Ilev. K. A. hummus, of Edgmoor as moderator. The presbytery was called to order by Rev. R. D. Byrd, of Tirzah, retiring moderator, and Rev. Dr. l). G. Phillips, of Chester, stated clerk, keeping the records as secretary, and after a sermon, by the retiring moderator, was reorganized with Rev. S. J. Hood, of Unity church. I Lancaster county, in the chair. The work of the session was gotten under way with the announcement of the usual committee appointments. Tuesday afternoon was devoted mainly to the hearing of reports of the committees, and Wednesday tnornj ing was given over to action on the i same, and to various other matters, mostly of a routine nature. With regard to the overture from Svnod with reference to the endorse ment of the revised Psalmody of the I'nited Presbyterian church, the Presbytery, after a somewhat vigorous discussion of the subject, voted Vj stand bv its previous action, which means that it will continue to hold to the versions of the Psalms that are now in accepted use in the church. During the discussion it developed that each church is now doing very much as it pleases with regard to its psalmody, and some of them are using the new versions of the United Presbyterian church that are hardly distinguished from the hymns used in other churches. The principal argument in favor of the change to the new version was the claim that the present old version will soon be out of print and the A. It. p. church will be compelled to either print Its own books or do without, which arsument made little impression. Elder J. E. McDonald thought that the main concern in the matter was one of discipline. and that presbytery would stultify itself if it should declare in favor of the old psalmody and continue to tolerate the use of the new. The presbytery reaffirmed its former action by a vote of 27 to 6. The overture on the subject of rotary eldership was rejected by unanimous vote, without discussion. During Tuesday afternoon Presbytery listened to trial sermons of R. M. Dell, J. Roddey Mllier, first year students at the Theological seminary and sustained both as creditable specimens of progress, and during the evening sermons by A. K. Whitesides and J. A. Balrd were considered as evidencing the fitness of these young men for licensure, the licenses being issued next day. During Wednesday morning an hour was set aside to the memory of the late Dr. J. S. Moflfatt, tributes being tendered by Dr. D. G. Phillips, Dr. J. L. Gates, Elders S. B. Lathan and Matthewson. A voluntary quartette consisting of Rev. J. L. Oates, D. D., B. G. Pressley, It. D. Byrd and E. B. Hunter made such an agreeable impression that presbytery was moved to establish the same as a permanent institution with Dr. Oates as director. Kor the next meeting of Presbytery there were invitations from Crowder's Creek, Shiloh and Tirzah.
