SECURES SPECIAL RATE f
FOR LUMBER SHIPPERS
! i
Through Efforts of Chamber of
, Commerce New Rates Effective
Tuesday, August Sth.
!
. |
i According to an - 'announcement
| made public by Secretary McDaniel
of the Newberry chamber of commerce,
this organization, throuTh its
I
traffic and transportation committea
has been able to secure a rpeelal
freight rate on lumber to be dressed
in transit. The organisation has
been trvinc for some time to get this
rate on the Col'-irb;f. Newberry ar?d
Laurens railroad, land in a letter received
from Mr. J. i\ Taylor, president
of the C., N. &.L., he advises
that the rate will go into effect cn
Tuesday, August 8th. The letter received
from Mr. Taylor reaos as follows:
j Columb'i. S. C., August 2, 1922.
Mr. C. P. McDaniel, Secretary,
j Chamber of Ccn:.:v.e:\e,
! Newberry, S. C.
; Dear Sir:
! Replying to your letter of the 31st
ultimo. A. C. L. lumber transit carrier
Xo. u I. C. C. No. B-20Soi effective
A.ugust 8th. 1022, provides for
milling in transit on lumber at all
paints on the C. N. & L. railroad.
Yours very truly.
i (Signed) J. P. Taylor,
President.
The rate referred to above means
that lumber shippers who ship lum:
her via the C. N. & L. will <~ave a
considerable amount of money, especially
if it is to be dressed in transit.
Fcr instance, should a party at
Kinard want to ship a car load of
. lumber to Columbia it could be stopped1
in Newberry and dressed without
additional cost, with the exception of
, the - mall charge for the car. Heretofore.
if the shipment was stopped
in Newberry io be dressed the ship
per would have to pay more than the
regular freight rats.
1 The news of this special rate should
. be received by the shippers with
much satisfaction and thanks to the
Newberry chamber of commerce and
the C. N. & L. railroad company.

A. JEFF GREGORY
KILLED BY SON
BOY USES RIFLE TO KILL FATHER
NEAR KERSHAW
I
Erother and Sister cf Paul Gregory
Said to Have Witnessed
ixuliilg
The State.
Kershaw, Au.,r. 4.?A. Jeff Gregory,
prominent farmer and formerly
cotton we'ghei- at Kershaw, was s'hot
and killed by his son, Paul Gregory,
at his home a few miles from Kershaw
at about 8:00 o'clock this morning.
Young Gregory used a 3S calibre
rifle, four bullets taking effect
to cause almost instantaneous death.
Young Gregory, himself, give the
alarm, telephoning to friends in Kerfh:w
that he had killed his father.
TTi> was taken into custody by Sher
iff Welch within a few ncurs after
the killing and is now in the Camden
jail facing trial on a charge of
murder, the coroner's jury investigating
the homicide having held him
responsible far the death of his father.
Young Gregory is about 18
years eld, but is r.mail for his a;?e,
having been crippled by an attack
of infantile paralysis.
The only eye witnesses of the patricide,
if any, are members of the immediate
family and these with P:ul
Gregory hhave declined to make any
st-iement about the shooting. Paul
Gregory have declined to make any
ter, officers h^ve been informed, witnessed
the tragedy. Neither, however,
testified at coroner's inquest,
the jury's verdict being based upon
admissions of young Gregory. The
boy, afLer having conferred to firing
the four shots to persons first reaching
the house *ias refused to?wake
ar.y further statements. officers say,
except to ray that he acted in defence
of h'G mother and sisters. The
first persons reaching the house after
the killing found a loaded p!sLol grasped
in Mr. Gregory's hand. The revolver
hfld not been fired.
Mr. Gregory wac about r>0 yearn

WEEVIL INFESTATION
IS IRREGULAR
Weather Conditions Favorable to
Weevil Development. Continuation
Control Measures Advised
Clemson College, July 31.?"The
most striking feature in the boll weevil
situation is the irregularity of the
infestation, not only in the various
i ountic.: but on individual farms and
even in single fields," said Prof. A.
F. Conradi, entomologist, at the
weekly boll weevil conference here
tCvOjy, after hearing reports from the
field specialists who were present for
the conferenc and from the county
agents Over the state.
At the ciose of the conferenco the
following statement was given out:
The weather during the past week
while hot was moj>t and generally
favorable to weevil development. 1
should be explu.iieil that hot and dry
weather is the weevTs worst enemy,
but with the exception* of a few loralitips
we have had no such weather
during the past week. Showers
h:ve been frequent and the atmosphere
moist, which offset the benefits
that would have been derived otherwise
from the weather.
The percentage of squares infested
varies, as shown by the reports,
frcm a sir. ill percent to 60 or
70 percent. This condit:on is frequently
very misleading to farmers
who are given the credit of low
infestation to one or otner 01 control
measures they ^rc attempting,
when ?=: a matter of fict the infestation
was not there to begin ,with.
We know this to be the case, because
there have been accumulated over a
period of years a series of most elabo.nte
'data in experimental woiik
showing what results may be expected
?jj^n one or the other of these
various control under, the
best condition:.
Square collecting when lone thoroughly
cr. the plant and on the
ground is s'/ll advised throughout
the Piedmont section, and in other
sections and areas where light square
infestation occurs.
Frequent shall aw cultivation should
be continued so long as cotton does
not i-ufficiently overlap for this to be
injurious.
It is very necessary that the labor
situation be. controlled dur'ng August
for the purpose of rquare collecting
and cultivation. Failure to
have labor available may mean much
less.
Fruiting over the state generally
is very good. Bui if f equentiy hap
pens that individual, .armers have a
small crop of fruit sot at this time,
a condition which would hardly be
duo to natural conditions but probably
to pocr soil 2nd poor seed. It
must be kept in mind that good soil
and good <-eed are two thing; most
necessary before one may expect
profit frcm any operation for boll
weevil control.
Frequently \vc are asked to advise
whether dusting should be undertaken
whore souare infestation has
reached upwards of CO percent. This
depnds on:
1. Whether the farmer is prepared
to dust immediately. If so. then
we advise him to du:t, rut there is
r.D time left now {,0 secure dusting
machinery :ind poison, knowing: that
weevil dispersion is about to begin.
2. Whenever the dusting: schceduje
has been begun it should be continued
with view of reducing Ihese high
infe?tat:o?"!s before the dispersion begins.

were sleeping in a front room and
no shot? were fired into this portion

Dunlap has been working in the

since the shopmen walked out on

About 24 shopmen walked out

of these being negro helpers and
car cleaners. J. Webb White, in
charge of the local shops, stated that
he had employed several negroes
since the walkout and that he now
has none at work in the shops. Dunlap
did not go to work this morning,
stating that he would rather have another
job and a whole skin. The remainder
of the force turned up at

This was the first indication that
everything was not calm locally, and
