CAUSE MUCH HARDSHIP
Practically All Coal Mines in Ohic
Closed as Result of Car

OFFICIALS ARE OPTIMISTIC
Volunteers Clamor to Aid id Breaking
Up "The Mob Movement"
Columbus, 0., April 13.-The indus
trial situation in practically the entire
State was fast approaching a crish
tonight, a result of the unauthorized
railrbad strike.
More than 100,000 men were out ol
work and industrial plants in prae
tically every section were continuing
to suspend operations.
n top of this labor suspension iF
e growing scarcity of food supplic
in many cities.
Coal supplies are running low and
some utilities are curtailing their ser
vice.
Pgactically every coal mine is sus
pended owing to inability to obtair
,cars, and it is estimated that 50,00C
Oiners are idle.
Supplies of gasoline are running lou
in most cities and plans are being
made to conserve the supply for. trucl
to be operated in transporting food
supplies.

forded between IIuntington and Cinchi
nati.

4 New York, April 13.-Striking rail
road men of greater New York, meet
ing in Jersey City tonight, unanimous

ployes in the Potomac 'freight yards
and at the passenger terminal here

midnight leaving their demands to the
railway labor board for adjustment.
Officials Optimistic.
New York, April 13.-Although
ranks of the rebellious railroad strik
era were strengthened substantially by
further walkouts here today railroad
officials listened to a clamor of vol
unteer strikebreakers, professed op.
timism tonight, that a break in "the
mob movement" was near.
The general managers of the rail
*toads interpretedl the indignation
meetings of commuters and the offer
of 7.i,.rance to man trains with civil
IUm~s as "a spontaneous movement
to put a prompt endl to this nation
wIde illegal strike." The mayor of
Englewood, however,,announced that
the "citizens' movement was without
(favoi.Mlsm to either' sidle."
Theic were many secret and sepa
rate meetings of strikers and 'loyal"
union men tonight and while rairoads
had. arrangedl to move sixteen addi
tional trains with volunteer help to-.
morrow, the threat of an extension
ofA the astrk was not allayed.

aghan, conductor, and Ezander 1
Hewitt, of Marion a passenger on At- b
lantic Coast Line train No. 55, from K
IWilmington to Florence, were shot "
and R. L. Hatt, a prominent farmer I
of Winona ,about ten' miles from here,
surrendered himself to the Florence
chief of police tonight. The shooting a
occurred on the train when it was I
about five miles from this city. 1
Mr. McClenagham, a Florence man,
had his arm broken b ya bullet while
Mr. Hewitt sustained a wound in the o
hand. s
Stories by Hart and Mr. McClenag, (
han are contradictory. Each claims it
that the other had the pistol, it is un- c
derstood, and that in a scuffle the gun'
was fired. It was a .stray bullet' that'
hit Mr. Hewitt. Four or five shots fi
were 1red. e
Hart gave himself up after the ttain

Tile situation hlere tonight appeared o
to be as follows:b

thlere still was a possibility of a food a,
shortage. Prieds of some commlodIi-~ a

Justice agents wvere investigatinlg with~
a view to prevenlting profiteering.
Thie mlovement of nlon-perishlable i,
freight was virtually at a standstill. f<

The fear that moreC thani 3,000 shop- t
men of tile Pennlsylvania wvould join 01
the strike was partly dlispendled to- b

IOINGS Of OUR
COUNTY FARM[RS
Last week I mentioned that Dr. C.
Gamble at New Zion had a pure
red Guernsey bull. I made a mistake
i the Doctor's initials however, for
is Dr. E. B. Gamble who has the bull
;r. Gamble- also has two fine purebred
'uroce sows.
Mr. R. R. DuRant near Alcolu, has
very fine flock of purebred Plymouth
.ock chickens. He has' about fifty
ens in the flock and the cockerels are
Dme of the best he could obtain. At
me(liig time, when the whole flock is
agether, a rare sight for the people
f Clarendon, for there are not many
axch flocks of purebred chickens in our
ounty. The pullets are now laying
ud Mr. DuRant gets a large number
f eggs each (lay. They do take more
are than just 'chickens' but it pays.
Mr. W. N. Rush at Sardinia has a
ne flock of purebred White Leghorn
hickens. Mr. Rush seems to - be
athering a great many eggs too for
.have been there twice in the last two
reeks and both times I have seen eggs
i the nests and also nround outside
le barn and it looks- s if Mr. Rush
an't build enough nests to hold the
ggs. The Leghorn is the best breed
rhen plenty of eggs are wanted, the
'lymouth. Rock and Rhode Island Red
re good breeds for both eggs and
ient.
Mr. J. C. DuRlant, Jr., near Alcolu
as a fine flock of purebred Rhode
sland Reds and has heer ver-: suc
essful with them, and says they cer
tinly pay better than mongrel chick
ns. I have heard quite a number of
eopli in different parts of the county
ay that purebred chickens would not
o as well or lay as many eggs as
iongrel chickens did, which is very
rue if they kept their chickens on the
rincipal of 'get-your-owi-fe1d-or
[arve.' But, if you are willing to give
little more time and omlle feed to
urebred chickens anl keep their
ouses clean they will find that the'
rill he well paid for their timeL. and
tork. Ask any of twe above three
ln if ybu don't believe it.
Mr. C. A. Ilarvin of Davis Cross
oads and ir. M. N. IHickman of New
ion are the first men I know of who
ave already set. out tobacco. Mr.
larvin has set out two acres ald Mr.
lickman three acres.
I have seen very few tobacco b'ed
'ais year that had anything like a
a11(d of plants. Most beds are so fill
f weeds that if' there are anv tobacco
lants in them the weeds hide them.
he trouble and work caused by weeds
auId be reduced to almost nothing if
roper care would be taken when pre
aring the bod. If the bed is on the
Ige of a field it should Ie thorough
burned so as to kill all weed seeds.
the bed is made in the woods where
, is shady most of the time not so
inch trouble will be had from weeds
ke plenty of sunshine. Beds in the
'oods will not be damaged from cold
'inds like beds iiade otr iln the open.
: will also pay to have heavier cover
i; for the bed than the flisi y tobacco
oth ready to cover the beds in case
f a cold spell of weather. Some years
envier covering is not needed but in
Lher years, like this year for instance.
ie money spent, for heavier material
'ill mean a good crop instead of a
riird or fourth of i crop. You can
gur( for yourselves what that will
wean to you ina mloney.
Messrs. C. E. Morris and .J. Smith
I' New Zion have very fine tobacco
nds. Mr'. Morris will be able to set
it about seven acires ait one0 timie. Mr.
miiithi plantedl hiis bed in the woods
id with a little extra care and onie
ppllication of soda has a fine cr'op of
lants.
Mr. E. B. Felder near P'inewvoodl has
fmne herd of hogs wtth a purebred
ire at the head. I inoculated 65 head
>r Mr. Felder the other (lay and both
igs and~ hogs are in excellent condi
oai andl as far as I wvas able to find
it, it is because he feed(s his hogs.
urebred hogs will amake raaore than
vice as much gain as scrubl hogs will
ithe siime amounit andl kind of feed
at purebredl hogs cannot comlpete
ith scrubs in rootiaig for a liviag in
ocods and~ swamps. Mr. ,Feclder ex
acts to ship a carload of hogs to
arket next fall. That will hiit the
11l weevil square in the solar plexus.
Mr. J. P. L~aMaster-, Federal Dairy
usbandman now with Clemson Col
ge, is ini Clarendon this wveek aiding
Sthe organization of' a Bull As'socia
on. Mr'. LaMasteir is one of the best
oil association men in the country
d( with his aid we will organize one
the best Bull associations in the
Late. South Carolina now has four
'en bull associations and Mr. LaMas
r states that this section of South
arohnaa is rapidlly becoming known
a Guernsey center. This means
at Guernsey breedeirs bo0th old and1(
w, will soon be0 comiing here to buy
irebred Guernsey cattle, that we can
at orders for cattle by the earload.
lie oanly thimg to do in order to be
>de to get these oriers is to have thle
uItle to sell, and( thle best meansa of
atting these cattle, as wvell as the
LOapest wvay, is to organiz~e oane or
o bull associations in Clanon.

serts Premier Mueller.
Berlin, A pril 12.--"Action in Riuhr
basin is about to come to an end,"
Chancellor Mueller, in the course of
a deliberation before the National As
sembly, said today, "All troops not in
dispensabli will be withdrawn. Nego
tiations are going on with the Allies
for a three months extension of the
convention of August, 1919. The oc
cupation of the main cities vill end
shortly."
The chancellor's declaratiom was a
bitter attack on the French premier's
"militarism," it justiefid the German
action in the Ruhr by arguments al
ready advanced in the German notes,
and maintained that a Democratic
Germany was possible only if the
Franco-German duel ceased and eco
nomic collaberation was undertaken
seriously instead of merely announced.
German Assembly Opens.
