> COTTON MEETING NEXT WEEK
. .Pushing Campaign in Dillon County
for Cotton Export Corporation
Subscriptions.
The men behind the movement to
.raise Dillon's Quota of the subscriptions
to the Cotton Export and Import
Corporation have arranged for
. a series of meetings to be held in
. different parts of the county next
week. The first meeting will be held
. at the court house Monday morning |
at 11 o'clock. The second meeting!
will be held at Latta in the after-!
moon, the third meeting will be held
^ aat Lake View Tuesday morning andt
y the fourth will be held at Minturn
Tuesday afternoon. The speakers at

state warehouse commissioner, and
H. S. Johnson, of the Extension Department
of Clemson College. Dillon
has raised only one-fourth of her
quota, and the purpose of the meet-!
.lags is to bring forcibly to the at-J
.ientlon of the public generally the
.importance of promptly raising the
.amount the county has promised. The
-organisation of the corporation is goxing
along rapidly and Dillon will do
:*er part in making it a success. Subscriptions
are being received in cotrton,
liberty bonds or cash. The stock
will be called In this week and a
?charter obtained. This will put the
corporation in position to begin business
at once. Germany needs thous
ands of bales of low-grade cotton and
it is proposed to sell her these low
grades, taking cash payments and
the balance secured by paper endorsed
by the German banks. It Is understood
that what cotton is getting into
Germany and Austria is bringing big
prices, and if the cotton planter can
succeed in disposing of part of the
low grade on hand the price of the
better grades should improve immediately.
.Everybody is urged to attend the
meeting scheduled for next week, i
The only hope of the south is to find
a foreign market for low grades, and j
the only way to find this market is
through the Import and Export Cor.
poration.
Subscriptions will not be called for
at these meetings, but plans will be
adopted and committees appointed to
..carry on the work in each section.

T PIGMIES HUNT ELEPHANTS

One of the queerest regions under ]
.the sun?a land, peopled by midgets
. .scarcely four feet tall?has just been < ]
.explored by Dr. Leonard John Van
denbergh, a Catholic missionary. AltzxofU
a year ago the doctor's party
Entered the Congo seeking traces of
.the tribe of Mabuti, which, living i
"deep into the jungle, had heretofore!
repelled all attempts of white men to!
learn of its methods of living, its
beliefs and its history. Dr. Vanden;hergh,
however, after a generous gift
v ot salt and tobacco, succeeded in win:
fting the favor of the pigmies and he
jMot only lived for a time among them
.?but he got their permission to film
At work and play.
"He 'brought back with him, along
with the pictures, numerous interest-!
lug stories of the Mabuti. Among (
~'fkem is the account of the slaying of'
'an.elephant, which is described as fol-i

When they smell an elephant in*
? the vicinity, the whole tribe goes out1

throw their weapons at him, their
-aim being to strike him deeply in a
vritai part. They haven't the strength
Vim throw a spear with sufficient
tforce to deal a death blow. All they j
can do and all they aim to do is to ?
have the weapon sufficiently imbed- t
ded to impede the progress of the | <
juiimal as he is continually prodded t
from the sides and from the branch-if
ee above. They force him to butt the j
spears into the trunks of trees, and't
very often succeed in virtually mak-'t
tag him commit suicide by having!,
. him force the weapons into his body. i<
They will follow the wounded and 1
- tortured beast for as much as a i
. month. When he shows signs of com- ]
plete surrender, they deal the final i
death blows by the whole mass of ]
them throwing their spears into his i
' Hides. Once assured he can do them .
: no harm, they swarm over his body <
! - like so many ants and proceed to cut'
away his flesh, which they eat. They,
' Jbave no methods of preserving the I
dflesh.They simply stay near him just ]
.as Jong as there is anything to eat,!
Then depart to their village, taking,!
, the much cherished tusks with them. ]
' They bury them in the ground and
keep the tusks there until some of I
the neighboring tribes come along I
' -with offers of salt and tobacco.

PIPE SMOKING ON
THE INCREASE AMONG
FASHIONABLE WOMEN.
London, Nov. 8?Pipe smoking
seems to be on the increase among I
women and fashionable cigar stores
display dainty small briars, some set
with precious stones. It is said there ;
is a growing demand for these. i
At one west London theatre where
amoking is permitted, two smartly
dreaeed women were seen the other '
evening in a box puffing at their jew- '
elled pipes, and soon an old Irish- I
woman in the gallery followed suit, 1
Hers was a clay "cutty.'? t
In a first-class railroad car between
Horsham and London, a quarrel <
arose the other day between a number
of non-smoking women and an- ;
either woman who refused to put out
*her cigarette at her sister traveler's ?
behest. It ended in one of the nntiamokers
seizing the offending curnrotte,
gold mounted tortolseshell holder
and all, and flinging it out of the
window.
'Two guineas costs will meet the i
?ase," said the magistrate." <
Personality of Preeident-Elect.
Marion, O., Nov. 7.?What sort of
a personality has President-elect
Warren G. Harding? *
This is the question being asked by
men alike, who contributed their |
ballots to the political hurricane that i ^
swept the Repuglican party into pow- .
er and buried all opposition under!
an avalanche of votes. j ?
When in Marion, receiving the daily t
pilgrimages of Republicans from all [ v
over the country Senator Harding ^
frequently would come back to the (
small white press house buried E
amongst the big apple trees in bis v
back yard to talk with the men who ' B
were writing the news of the Repub- t
lican campaign. 0
Reclining easily in a big "state" t
chair kept there especially for his j
use, Senato rHarding would light up,C
one of his long stogies, and, after t
giving a short sketch of the political a
picture would frequently talk for an d
hour In reminiscent strain of person- S
al experiences of his public life. b
But'apparently he liked to dwell I
upon the characteristics and person- S
alities of friends of his youth, of his r
intimate contact with men, and women
in all stations of life. In these (
talks was revealed the intense hu- ,
-'J IfflMh
Ill ail Slug Ul iue Uiail WUU uu V/u
4 will occupy the White House. He
loved to linger upon memories of
those who had befriended him in his
steady rise to fame from farmer boy
to president-elect of the United
States.
Jake Miller .
One of these narratives of Senator
Harding's was typical of many. He
recalled "Jake" Miller, an old white
haired compositor on his paper, the
"Marion Star.''
"Jake is typical of the fine traits
that constitute the American character"
said Senator Harding. "He has
been on the Star with me for 44 years
and he has stuck to me through thick
and thin. On several occasions, in
our early days, I had to go to my !
mother for a loan to meet Jake's salary
check. Jake insisted that he
could wait for the money, but his
fine loyalty made me determined to
see that he got all that was coming
to him, no matter how rickety our financial
condition. Mother saw the
same as I did, and always helped me
to nav .Take."
Jake was on the famous front
porch the other night. He came to
see his "boss". It was too late, but
be went right up and rang the door
bell of the Harding home. Senator
Harding; himself answered the ring.
"Why, Jake, what are you doing
lere/' he asked.
A Wonderful Night.
"I came to congratulate you on
pour election," said Jake. "Warren,
this is a wonderful night for me, as
well as you."
Senator Harding's eyes filled with
;ears. He took both Jake's hands in
lis, and held them for several minltes
before he could get the "chokes"
>ut of his voice to thank his old
friend and pledge him his good will
for life. The incident gives a ty)ical
close-up of Senator Harding's
levotlon to his friends, a trait which
las endeared him not only to the
people of Marion with whom he has
Ived a greater part of his life but to
hose who came to the front porch
from all sections of the country.
Frequently the president - elect
vould temporarily interrupt the visit
)f one of the nation's elect to go out
)n the front lawn of his home and
jreet some acquaintance who had
:ome from a neighboring town to
ihake hands with "Warren" and
evive old acquaintance.
3VER CONFIDENCE
LOST TENNESSEE.
Memphis, Term., Nov 7.?William
F. Bryan has aliented himself from
Southern Democrats by his suggestion
hat President Wilson resign. A storm
>f protest has swept over Dixie and
he Commoner has been denounced
Tom the Ohio to the Gulf.
"Mr. Bryan has lost his right to
ake any part in any conference as
;o Democratic procedure," said C. P.
F. Mooney, editor of the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal, in a signed ediorial
today. "He is not fit to make
i suggestion to President Wilson, Mr.
3ryan went to San Francisco and
nade a fight against Cox. That was
lis privilege. Mr. Cox won. Mr. Bryan
=aid then his heart was in the grave.
\s far the Democratic party is concerned
it might as well stay there."
Mr. Mooney continues, saying:
"His Democracy has always been
tinctured by a rotten theory of popularism
and opportunism."
After referring to Mr. Bryan's failare
to help Cox in the campaign, Mr.
Mooney says:
"Mr. Bryan has made his living
from the Democratic party. It has
been his meal ticket for 30 years.
He orated himself into the nomination
for the presidency in 1896. As
soon as he was beaten he wrote a
book and took the lecture platform.
He has coined his reputation as a
Democratic leader into a box-office
asset."
In Arkansas the Democratic central
committee at Crittenden county i
met and passed resolutions calling i
upon Mr. Bryan to "renounce hisj
allegiance to the Democratic party
and the United States."
The loss of Tennessee has stung.
Democratic leaders to the quick. It |
was due to overconfidence, they say. I
The Republicans threw their heavy j
cuns into the state. Senator Harding
during his invasion of the south went j
through Tennessee and rallied his Republican
forces in Chatanooga. Gov.;
prnor Cox did not visit the state.
"We are going to make a fight four pears
hence," said one prominent
Democratic leader today. "We have
only ourselves to blame. Our defeat
may be traced in part to certain Democratic
politicians who in factional;
local fights let down the bars to negro (
voters. Of course the negroes turned i
about and voted in the national elec-j
tion. and they voted, almost without
exception, the Republican ticket."
VISIT? SCENES OF BOYHOOD.
On the 23rd ultimo I took a swif
ide with Marvin Stackhouse to Min
urn and Clio. We passed through
ine farming section; the fields wer
i-hite with cotton, resembling mimi
now. The farmers are some what be
lind gathering their cotton. I sue
ose it is due to the scarcity of laboi
)n our return trip I was dropped a
he palatial home of Mr. T. C. Sher
rood. I enjoyed the hospitality o
limself and family until Wednesdaj
)n Tuesday Mr. Sherwood carrie
ae to visit his old parental horn
-here he spent his boyhood life. Th
eenery was new to me. The onl
hing that seemed natural was th
ild homestead. The pools of wate
hrough which I used to wade ar
iow the beds of rich loamy soil. Th
Jousin Patsey home as I knew it, m
hinks I see her now as she came i:
nd out of the old home stead. Tuet
ay evening ^e visited the old Swea
iwamp Cemetery where sleep th
odies of Dr. Alfred Bethea, T. E
Iraddy, Cad e Bethea, and Richar
Iberwood, all gone to their eterna
ewaru.
