A BROOKEAXI> MAZf DIES IN ACCIDENT. J. A. Warren, 127 Green street, Rrrmirland received fatal injuries early Sunday when a car in which he was riding ran into a machine standing beside the road at A^hurs, Lexington county. Warren was rushed to Columbia, where he died at the Baptist hospital at 4 a. m. H. M. Rhodes and Melvin Williams, also of ' Brookland, were the other occupants of the ill-fated automobile. Rhodes, who was driving, escaped with bruises but Williams was injured about the arm:. The three men were on their way toward Brookland from the direction of Lexington when the accident occurred. At Arthurs they met a car going in the opposite direction. In passing, Rhodes' machine hit a" car standing to the right of the road. Occupants of the machine going toward Lexington went on, unaware no doubt, that an accident had o<*eu^red. The machine standing by the road is said to have out of gas and for that reason was standing there. Blinded by Lights.

He was a devoted husband and father. Mr. Warren, who was a* textile worker, was 40 years old. He was a member of the Junior O. U. A. M., the degree of Po.cahontas I. O. R.

ENEMIES OF EDUCATION DRAW BROADSIDE. Washington, Aug. 3.?Certain opponents of the Towner-Sterling bill, now before Congress, which when passed will create, a Department of Education with a Secretary in the President's .Cabinet, have tried to arouse opposition to the bill 'by the false statement that it will interfere with States' righ ?, and place complete supervision of all State educational means and methods in the hands ^f the Federal Government. A mere reading of the bill is sufficient to show the absolute falsity of the claim, but to answer the attacks on the hill in short form, Williab B. Owen, president of the National Education Association, one of the many organizations behind the bill, has issued the following statement: "I have been a participant in the deliberations of the group that sponsored the Towner-Steling bill since its inception in 1918. It was the deliberate rfurnrvse fvnm ilio atort omI 4 ? %> V?4V J'WMl V V.V ObV I\ legislation from Congress that'should create a Department of Education and provide Federal aid to the States for specific educational purposes. K-om the start it was the conscious purpose to frame a .bill that should secure these two main results and at the same time avoid centralized Federal control over the separate and inde.-,.. pendent State systems of publicschools. The Towner-Sterling bill, in the form now before Congress, clearly / . , / *? J, * i \ ' '' * and unmistakably provides for a Pef. r;0;? ; partment of. Education and Federal aid for specific purposes, and as clearly ?and unmistakably prevents centralized beaurocratic Federal control, while it safeguards the constitutional and traditional control of th'e separate States over their own schools. The* National Education: Association has repeatedly endorsed thex f, fundamental purposes of the bill.-.The;' association is as strongly opposed-toFederal organization, administration,; and supervision of the public schools as it is firm in its advocacy of Federal coperation with the States in securing educational. results of clearly national import Aitfl -concern. . The language of'the bill is clear and un ? :./ a \ / V' k mistakable. r,-Ko one caiivread it, and ; read j*to it centralized Federal contrcjK Personally and > pfficially, I flavor-the Towner-Sterling bill for the , reasons given above. *,^fo political, j Sectional, racial, or religious eonsirf. :1 erations were in the mjihds.. of the : sponsors of the'bill, por^fcan any such considei^tion honestly found with- J in or behind the bill as:it now stands'. rhe bill itself is its vw*i;best justifica-. ! :ion and defense." - v . , mitmim ' ..

Conradi, Entomologist, at the weekly boll weevil conference here today, after hearing reports from the field specialists who were present for the conference and from the county agents over the state. At the close of the conference the following statement was given out. The weather during the past week, while hot, was moist and generally tavorabie to weevil development. It should be explained that hot and dry' weather is the weevil's worst enemy, but with the exception of a few localities we have had no such weather during the past week. Showers have 'been frequent and the atmosphere moist, which offset the benefits that would have been derived otherwise from hot weather. . The percentage of squares infested varies, as shown by the reports, from a small percent to 60 or Yo percent. This condition frequently is very misleading to farmers who are giving the credit of low infestation to one or other of the control measures they are attempting, when as a matter of fact 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 elaborate data in experimental work showing what re-L Lodge Meetings ^ y* / y Dixie Lodge, No. 52.

Keep Up Control Measures. Square collecting when done thoroughly on the plant and on the ground is still advised throughout the Piedmont section, and in other sections and areas where light"square' inI festation occurs. Frequent shallow cultivation ehould be continued so long as cotton does not sufficiently overlap for this to be I iniurious. It is very necessary that he labor situation be controlled during August for the purpose of square collecting and cultivation. Failure to have labor available may mean much loss. , Fruiting over the state generally is very good. But it frequently hap-, pens that individual farmers have a I smal lcrop of fruit set at this time, a condition which would hardly be due to natural conditions but probably to poor soil and poor seed. It must be J kept in mind that good soil and good seed are two things most necessary before one may expect profit from l any operatfon for boll weevil control. Frequently we are asked to advise whether dusting should be undertaken where square infestation has reached upwards of 60 percent. This depends on: 1. Whether the farmer is prepared to dust immediately. If so, then we advise him to dust, but there is.no time left now to secure dusting ' machinery and poison, knowing that weevil dispersion is about to begin. 2.

I want to express my* appreciation to my friends for their offers of support and the encouragement which they gave me. CHAS. E. TAYLOR. How Beautiful! The patter of tiny feet was heard from the head of the stairs., Mrs. Kinderby raised her hapd warning the others to silence. "Hush," she said, softly. "The children are going to deliver their good-night message. It always gives me a feeling of reverence to hear them?they are so much nearer the Creator than we are, and they speak the love that is in their little hearts never so fully as when the dark has come. Listen!" There was a moment of intense silence. . Then? "Mamma": came the message in^a shrill whisner, "Willie found a begbug!" * ' ?. $ X 5 ? . ' " ,f :' .
