K Washington, Jan. 25.?Senator Sim?
mons of North Carolina today called
upon the war department with reference
to the return of the Thirtieth Division
and was informed that all nos
sible haste is being made in getting
the men of this division ready for
their homeward trip. He was informed
that not only had these men been
^ asked to various cities in South Caro-;
lina but that North Carolina and j
Tennessee also were asking for them, j
In this view of the situation, they j
will probably go to Greenville after'
they have been debarked at Charles- j
ton. In fact, Senator Simmons was j
practically assured on this point. Gen-|
eral March informed the North Caro-1
lina senator that the war department!
. v j
officials were as anxious as the men!
i
of the Thirtieth themselves and their j
friends for them to be at home again I
and that everything consistent with j
the situationw as being done towards!
) this end.

Cotton has declined in the last tw<
vreeks six cents per poi:nd, lar^elj
due to English, spinners selling an<
speculators selling heavily on botf
the. New York and the New Orleans
exchanges, and for the purpose ol
stampeding spot holders. ,
We have had four short crops. Con
I sumption exceeded last year's produc
' tion by 300.000 bales. We had beer
led to belie*.;e that the entire worlc
was short of ect'on and cotton good."
which we believe is true, yet tli-f

I produce it at le-?.st 30 per c nt more
I than the lar.t crcp. The expense ol
I growing cotton has to be fixed at thi
beginning cf the year. Conditions are
| different to other manufacturing cor
cerns or corporations, who, if it becomes
necessary to reduce wages c?r
f.o sso from time to time during the
year. The price for fertilizer to 1*

used on ine rarm is uisu an iui imc
year, in fact everything that goes tc
produce the crop. Fertilizer is ver\
high considering the quality; in fac^
the highest price ever paid considering
the quality we are getting.
We notice fall months are quoted
on the New York exchange around 15
cents. It is an evident fact that cotton
can not be produced at any snci
ridiculors figures, and means a heav>
lors to all producers, if any sucli
prices should exist next October. ,
As we see it the holders of spol
cotton have the situation in their ow?i
hands and if properly managed car
and will stow the consuming world
that they are vet masters of the situation.
Cotton is the be?t property that c?r
be owned. Unlike perishable prodnets.
We ha>e the only country in
the .world that can grow this com
inodity that the entire world needs
yet we are asked to produce cotton
at. a sacrifice and loss.
As we now view the situation hie
only and wise course for the producer
to follow is a heavy reduction in acreage;
not less than 3-0 per cent, anl
fertilizer in proportion. Plant other
food crops or let the lands lie idle.

* THE INFLUENZA SITUATION. ?
*
(Statement by H. B. Wells,
Manager Opera House.)
We are willing to cooperate with
the health authorities in any manner
^ "iof trA /"?o n o r* rl /1a ri nf rl qci r*n frv hii
luut r*c vuu^ unu UU live vt
understood as opposing any means
that will check the spread of the disease,
but we do not feel that it is just
to be discriminated against.
We are of the same opinion that we
1
had during- the first epidemic of influenza,
and thaj is, there is no more
danger of spreading the disease at
the opera house than at* r.ny other
place of business.
We wish first to call attention to
the report of the secretary of the
New York health board as compared
with other large cities. (New York
city did not close her public places
rnrl tlio n+TiPr rlirl Thp dA?th* !
per thousand of population for four
weeks were: Boston, 101; City of 1
Washington, 109; Baltimore, 158;
New York, 50. (
Second. We wish to call your attention
to the report of the special
influenza committee which met iu
Chicago some weeks ago, and after
considering all the da,ta concerning
the last epidemic decided the closing
ol? public places Gid very little if any
good. ,
And last but not least we call to >
your attention the experiment just
completed by the United States Public ;
Health Service. Thece tests consisted 1
of subjecting 100 volunteers to expose j
themselves to pronounced cases of in- j
fluenza in all the various ways the j
nio(?ino T tTuVTc'it <
VI vOWVWM VW j
ease was transmitted, such as having ;
the patient cough, sneeze, in their ;
faces, thoroughly infecting the noses :
with the cultures from pronounced
cases of influenza, taking secretions !
from the nose and throat of. influenza i
patients and placing in the nose and
throat of the volunteers, and injecting
the blood of influenza patients into 1
the volunteers, and not one of the 100
developed influenza. ,
We were at a recent meeting of the
city board of health and tlrs question I
vras asked t"ie cliairman: "Isn't it aj
fact that the physicians know very 1
little about influenza?" His reply
was, "we know Low it is transmitted." '
We wish to quote from tie latter '
part of the report above referred to ;
in regard to the experiments made:
"The only thing which can be con- '
sidered proved about influenza so far
is that it is still a mystery, both a&
to the nature of the causative germs '
and as to its 'MjjEANS OF TRANSMISSION*,
and, therefore, especially dangerous."

THIS IS TO BE ONE OF
WORST LOCUST YEARS
Washington, Jan. 23.?The year
1919 is likely to be one of the worst
locust years on record, the department
of agriculture warned today. But although
the locusts, and the "17-year"
variety at that, are due to appear in 1
large number, entomologists of the department
see nothing alarming in the
prospect.
. The periodical cicada, the real name
of the insect, will appear in 21 States
in the East and South, the department
says.
The inquiry done by the cicada, say
department experts, always appears
greater than it really is, and that popular
alarm is usually out of proportion
to the damage.

The Burton Case.
Ira 0. Burton was tried in the NewI
berry court some months ago on the
charge of killing David A. Langford.
He was convicted of manslaughter and
Judge Peurifoy sentenced him to ten
years' imprisonment. Since his conviction,
Burton has been out on bond
mnflt of the time, pending his appeal
to the supreme court. At the hearing :
before the supreme court, Burton was
represented by Geo. Bell Timmerman
of Lexington and B. V. Chapman of
I|ewbeny. Solicitor Black well and
Blease & Blease represented the State.
The decision of the supreme court
mentioned above means that Burton's
conviction in the lower court is sustained.

BUILDING BILL IDEA
CONSIDERED WRONG
Dominick Will Try, However, to Get
as Much as Possible for His
District.
Til- _ ni-i ^
i ne siate.
Washington, Jan. 25.?Congressman .
Dominick, when informed today that
the house committee on public buildings
and grounds would begin hearings
on an omnibus building bill in
a. few days, stated that he much regretted
the action of the committee
to prepare and offer a bill of this character
at the present time, which has
[or one 01 us ieaiures la&ing care oi
the unemployed, inasmuch as he does
not "think there will be any serious
situation of this kind during the coming
spring, tee further believes that
at this time, when there are so many
other matters which should receive
public attention at the hands of congress
and appropriations of various
kinds which should be made that
taxes should be held down generally
to the lowest practicable point consistent
with ihe needs of the people.
However, Mr. Dominick said that if
a bill of this kind is passed he will
endeavor to secure all he can reasonably
get for his district. He will ask
that federal court houses be erected
at Both Greenwood and Anderson and
postoffice buildings be erected at: Belton,
Pelzer, Piedmont, Walhalla, Wi<liamston.
Seneca. Westfninster and
McCormick.
Mr. Dominick hotfes to secure full
data from the towns of his district by
the time the hearings begin and will
file this with the committee, so that
if a bill is passed he will be able to
properly take care of the needs of the
district. P. H. McGowan. f~~

vTo date the amount raised on the
fund for Armenian and Syrian relief
is $2,314.20. Our quota is $5,000-, We
have still the opportunity of makin?
our apportionment, for the time for
raising it has been extended. RealiT
ing the many hinderances which hamper
just now those in authority have
granted longeer time. Surely New
berry county will take advantage of ,
this to do' her part and save'herse!f
from the disgrace of failure in such ?
worthy cause. When good investments
are offered we do our part to
enrich ourselves, when our soldier*
and sailers want help through tho
Red Cross and Y-. M. C. A., we do no4"
fail them, for they are ours?bait whor
these poor Christians of another rac-"*
call for aid to keep soul and body to
gether we hesitate over $5,000. Publicans
and sinners care for thei"
own but it is the ear mark of Chric
tianity to care for others! Let us remember,
however, that these people
are our own, our brethren in th* faitb
and they were Christians long before
we were. In their dire need they ca''
on us for help. Dare we as fellov*'
Christians fail them!
