FIRST CHARlifc^TONIAN
SIXCEJUDGE MAGRATH (
, * Vi* ' .
When Wilson'G. Harvey of Charles- 1
? ton .seats himself in the chair of the
governor of South Carolina, which
event will take place in the very near
future, he will^be the first Charlestonian
to warm said chair since 1865
when Judge A, G. JMagrath 01 cnar'
leston was governor. 1
The resignation of Governor 1
Copper, who hs been appointed on the (
federal farm loan board to succeed A. 1
F. Lever, automatically promotes i
Lieutenant Governor Harvey to the of- (
VIs *
* fice of governor. When-he becomes 1
r* nv
governor. Senator ,Alan Johnstone of .
Newberry, president protem of the
senate, acts as. lieutenant governor.
When Senator Johnstone becomes
lieutenant governor, Newberry county
Will have no .senator in the state senate,
which win necessitate the election
in Newberry county of a senator.
The fact thata man from Charleston
Will be in tha gubernatorial chair has
attracted considerable attention and
has served ,to .arouse interest in other
cases in which the lieutenant governor
has succeeded to the governor's
chair.
John Drayton First.
In January, 1800, Edward Rutledge
of Charleston died and Lieut. Gov.
John Drayton, also of Charleston, succeeded
him. At that time, the legislature
met in November, and on the following
December, John Drayton was
elected by the legislature for the full
term of the office.
Governor Patrick Noble of Abbeville
died April 7, 1860, and was succeeded
by Lieut. Gov. B. K. Henagan
of Marlboro district.
Gov. Wade Hampton resigned the
office in February, 1879, in order to
take a seat in the L:nited States senate
in March of .that year. He was
' succeeded as governor by *.'eut. Gov.
W. D, Simpson of Lauren*.
" f k
In September, 1880, Governor Simpson
resigned to become chief justice
of the supreme court of the state, havlag
been elected to that office by the
general assembly. At this time

BULLISH TONE
TO COTTOX MARKET.
The first day of May opened up
with an advance in the price of cotton
futures and spots which gave a
decided strengthening tone to the
market. Cold nights, heavy and
continuous rains, particularly over
large areas in the southwest, and
the flooding of millions of fine
arable lands in the Mississippi
Delta, developed a combination
which forced short sellers to cover
and gave strength and happitress to
.the "Bulls". From all sources
news came in that the planting of
cotton generally is from ten day*
to three weeks late, and that much
of the early seeding had to be replanted.
Undoubtedly, the crop u
starting off under many adverse
difficulties, more than have faced
anj* cotton crop for several decades.
The farmers are badly crippled by
financial depression and farming
operations are generally handicapped
throughout the cotton belt. The
fear of the boll weevil is para
mount to all other obstacles in the
states east of the Mississippi River,
and inability to secure ample supplies
of high grade fertilizers onl> '
intensifies the difficulty and fear
of the future. Nothing short of
a dry summer will save a late crop
from annihilation, no matter what
the methods of combatting the boll .
weevil may be.
FAKE MACHINES
SOLD TO FARMERS.
Government experts having in
charge the boll weevil situation
are issuing bulletins warning coti
ton farmers against the purchase of
: untried machines and poison mixtures
for checking the ravages of
. the boll weevil. These bulletin?
claim that manufacturers of worthless
devices li'ave ^followed the
' spread of the boll ire evil into new
^territory for: the past fifteen years
^selling thousands of dollars worth
'of worthless.machines and nostrums
to farmers that utterly failed
to-give the protection advertised.
No farmer should purchase these
devices for experimental purposes.
Their value for the destruction of
weevils should be fully known by
actual practice before any money is
invested in them. Government of- j
ficials claim that no method of successfully
stopping the ravages of
xne Don weevu nas yet ueeu uibcovered
except the process of using
calcium of arsenate in powdered
form and applied according to directions.
The many devices fo:
fighting the weevils now being sold
in such large quantities in the
Southeastern section of the cotton
belt may or may not have merit. It
all depends upon the result of their
use by reliable farms in 1921 or
i
Gov. Hugh S. Thompson of Columbia
resigned in 1886 to become assistant
secretary of the treasury of the
United States under Cleveland and
Jphn C. Sheppard of Edgefield be Ir
' 1 - "
mme governor .
" In June, 1889, Gov. W. H. Elleret
5f Marion died and was succeeded by
Lient. Gov. M. B. McSweeney ot
Hampton county.
No more lieutenant governors became
chief executive until January 14,
1915, when C. L. Blease resigned and
vas succeeded by Lieut. Gov. Charles
A.. Smith of Timmonsville who held
:he office just five days until R. I.
Vlanning was inaugurated.
No Strangers.
While Wilson G. Harvey Is the first
^harlestonian to occupy the guberna:orial
chair in many years, Charles;onians
are no strangers to the "feel"
>f the chair as every one knows, for
n the early days Charlestonians held
n their hands the rudder of the ship
state, and a list of the early goverlors
reads almost like a Charleston

previous years. It is clearly a
danger and may result in a ver\
expensive experiment for farmers
to purchase devices and poison mixtures
whose use effectively has not
already been thoroughly demonstrated.
Like a drowning man
grabbing at a straw, many a farmer
will spend his money and time
with some boll weevil device which
in the end and at a critic al period of
his crop will prove utterly worthless
and a heavy loss will result.
Cotton News simply sounds this
note of warning and urges every
cotton farmer to post himself fully
on the practical value of any expensive
method presented to him foi
use in fighting the boll weevil; j
this year. Indications point to a
heavy invasion of the insects, due
to the past favorable winter, and
every man who can do so should
supply himself with the right kind
of machines and calcium of arsenate
to be used in powdered form
and in accordance with proper directions.
Arsenic is not soluble in
water unless precipitated by constant
agitation. Arsenic poisoning
by mixing with syrup or other
heavy, sticky liquid has been used
successfully when applied with the
proper mechanical device. Get the

WORLD COTTON* TRADE
AGITATED OVER OCT LOOK
In the meantime, the domestic
and overseas cotton ti'ade is getting j
very much excited and concerned j
over the' cotton prospects for supplies
in 1322. The general sentiment
prevailing at this time is that
the textile world will face a cotton
famine in 1923, as it is not gener- 'v
ally believed. s tjjat the South can
grow enough potion to- meet the
demand, with the present surplus
tiPin& rnr?irili* Thort
is ro hope for any increase in production
for India and Egypt, the
two largest cotton producing coun-,
, tries outside the United States. The
Egyptian acreage will be again decreased
30 per cent by Royal de- 1
cree. and the India Government
and the people are being torn by
unrest and revolution. It was as*
serted in these columns two years
ago that if the farmers were
stricken down by the drastic c|e- .
flation in the market values^ 01 j
their staple farm products, that th?
reaction would come in reduced
agricultural supplies and placing a
heavy penalty of high prices on the A
consumers of the world who must |
purchase the necessities of life;
It seems that these predictions will :
be fully verified within the ne^t j
twelve months.

No more men froin Charleston were J
in the governor's chair until IS4 4
when William Aiken was elected. In
1848 W. B. Searooks of Charleston
was governor. Years elapsed before
another Charlestonian held the executive's
office, and in 1 SC?4 A. G. Magrath
was in that position.
Since that time no Charlestonian i

STATE RESTS CASE
IX MURDER TRIAL.
Having introduced 32 witnesses in
the two days of the trial, the state at
6:15 o'clock last ngiht. rested its case*
against Frank M. Jeffords, Ira Harrisofi
and Glenn Treece, the three fnen
charged with the murder Tuesday a
wefek ago of J. C. Arnette at a filling
station in Columbia. Tl'.e defense of
the three defendants will be begun at
? A, ; .
9:30 o'clock this morning.
Twenty-one witnesses were heard
for the prosecution yesterday as linxj
ty' Jink the state strung together itsi

effort to strengthen and reinforce the
testimony of the confessions, which

by the state. Coroboration of the
statements alleged to have been made
I to officers by Harrison. Treeee and .Jef
[ fords, as recounted by Chief Shorter
j yesterday and by Sheriff T. Alex
| Heise Tuesday, was furnished in tilt
testimony of Detectives Jim Broom
P.ob Broom and W. T. Kelly and
Lieut. J. R. Swearingen, all of whom
i told of statements, which the defendI
ants, t'hey said, had made in their
presence. The mass of other evidence
heard during the day was devoted to
an effort at further corroboration of
the story of the alleged confessions
the strengthening of the state's motive
theory and the ubilding up of a circumstantial
case against the three i
men, independent of what officers tes-J
tified the three men told them.
As to Confessions.
Under the ruling of the court all
testimony as to confessions, said by
officers to have been made to them
by the three men is Admissible only
against the man supposed to have
made the confession, arrison. according
to the testimony of Shorter, Heise
and the other officers, was the first
man to admit complicity in the crime
and it s from him, officers testified.

that they secured a'detailed story of
the klling. Treece and Jeffords, officers
said, had both admitted participation
in the slaying of Arnette, but. according
to the testimony, neither went j
into any'minute description of tivci
manner in which the deed was aecom-j
pished or his alleged participation in
it. This of necessity under the ruling I
of Judge Tpwnsend has made thej
greater proportion of the evidence
given by officers inapplicable in the j
cases of Treece, and Jeffords.T.1
.... I
ti? cr.v nmu i>i tuuiuin iui uuuwn
yesterday was to prove that Harrison's
story, as recounted by the officers, was
substantially true as the state contends
and that Harrison was the first person
to furnish officers with evidence
t
as to who committed the crime. This
is taken as an indication, that Harrison's
defense will be a plea for mercy
on the ground that without him' the !
perpetrators of the crime would have j
escaped punishment. To add stir j
more weight to this plea and to j
coroorate in more detail his version of
the killing Harrison is therefore expected
to take the stand today and this
action on hs part, it is predicted, will
probably bring one or both of the
other two defendants to testify in defense
of the charges against them as
utained in Harrison's statement, as
