Mnngum Hangs Self Witl" Chain to Joist fen Barn IBennettsville, April 28?Press R. j Mangum hanged himself with a cow | Chain from a joist of his barn at his' home in the northeastern part of the county yesterday morning. No motive has been assigned for the act Mrs. Mangum Baid he had been act-| ing as if he were worried for several, days, but she did not know the cause unless it was financial Ho presslon. He arose early yesterday morning, chopped some stove wood an stayed about the house a while. He then went to the barn. As he did not return as promptly as usual some one went to look for him and | found him suspended by a chain and! de&d. He had evidently placed the, cow chain around his neck, climbed i upon the Joist, fastened it around the Joist and jumped off. The body was! yet warm. He had gone from the; house only about 20 minutes when* found. Mr. Mangum was 42 years old' and Is survived by his wife and i three children. He was a son of i Press B. Mangum, who for many years has been one of the most proru-i lnent farmers of eastern Marlboro un account or ill Health, th? senior Mangum has for several vears been spending most of his tim? at and near Rocky River Springs, Stanley county. North Carolina, in order to get the benefit of the water there. His son, Press R. Mangum, has been occupying the old home plac? on the road to Mason's Cross, about half * way between McColl and Sibson and was regarded as a good farmer and in comfortabl'e circumstances. The funeral was at tlie Fletcher cemetery, at 10 o'clock this morning. o ESTIMATE OF EX-PRESIDENT. Editor of the Paris Mat in Tell.s of Wilson's W ork. Stephens Lauzanne, editor of the Paris Martin and formerly French of-! ficial press representative in the United States, endeavors as Presidnt Wilson retires to private life to give a just estimate of his work. lie won the war but nearly lo;*'. the peace, is one of Lauzanne's striking ideas, says the Washington Star. The article follows: "After eight years of wise and ab solute government Mr. Woodrow Wil. son has abandoned the Presidency of the United States. "We must always try to be just. Being a victim must not prevent us from being just. Let us try, then, to remain just toward this man, who is leaving his supreme power, certainly with dignity, though perhaps without glory. We must not forget that history will say of President Wilson, more, than any other man, "If he lost the, peace he at least won the war." We: must not forget that America was] wanting peace in 1917 when she was thrown into the battle. She was far from being unanimous in wanting war. She was divided into three rarts; The Atlantic, which alone trembled with rage at the German; outrages; the middle west, with ChiJ cago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Milwan kee, crowded with Germans, or people of German desent, and then the Pacific, which as far as r.xterior danger is concerned, only knows the JaP. anese peril, and who heard of the sinking of the Lustiania just as.( under the palm trees at Sorente the news is received by a snow avalanche In Norway. To Mr. Wilson will remain the lasting merit of having solidified the three parts of America. At his voice the whole continent had but one mind and one thought. "Do not let us forget, either that this voice sounded with incomparable eloquence. Certain of Wilson's words will always remain beautiful rx-cause tney are ever true. These' words were accompanied also with J splendid deeds. Having once ac-l cepted war. Mr. Wilson did it thor-j oughly. He put the whole resour-| ces and the whole will of the nation j into It. "But this war was his ruin. He lost with it his natural timidity and ! his usual prudence. His doctrinal! vanity knew no limits. He fancied himself as the professor of the whole world. But there, too. <ve must not forget that it was not entirely his fault, and we must blame ourselves as well. We must remember, "continues the writer, "that when his vanity began to take him Into the clouds we made no sincere effort to bring him back tot earthly realities. Let us remember that when in October, 1918, he submitted officially and solemnly his fourteen points for the approbation of the French government Me received not a word of criticism or disapprobation. We must also remember tnar wnen in December, 1918, he was for the first time In Paris with the French representatives, the latter did not speak to him and even boasted of it in the chamber. | "Mr. Wilson has already partly made up for his mistakes by the dignity with which he has borne the moral and physical suffering which they cost him. There is something of Eschylus in the tragedy which, for the last eighteen months, has been taking place at the White House; a mysterious illness has laid him low; his work is scarcely thriving; he has fallen very far from his dreams. But in the midst of all this ho has no bitter words; he remains perfectly calm. "France," concludes the writer, "which he helped to saw and which he afterwards nearly lost, will always esteem him. But she will always regret that she is only able to THE put a plaster cast of a philosopher on1 the pedestal that she had prepared1 instead of the heavy marble that she would have liked to erect to a man of justice." t o h THICK SPACING COTTON. > a Clem son College, May 10?Much ci interest is being shown this season, y says Prof. C. P. Black well, agrono- a mist, in the question of the spacing of 'c cotton for boll weevil conditions. v Many inquiries are being received by 'a the agronomy division as to the best [; spacing of cotton. Prof. Blackwell's answer to such inquiries is that the|^ observation and experiment of our;' agronomists are in bar aony -tith thei" experiments from Mississippi and n states to the effect that thick spac- v ing is best. r "We have gotten larger yifelds from 11 thick spacing and we believe that t it is quite universally true through-ln out the country that thick spacing Is c best. We believe that farmers gen- a erally have not been leaving their i cotton thick enough and we have for j several years been recommending thick spacing of cotton. The Progressive Farmer states that eighty-four farmers have written for publication of their experience? in spacing cotton. Of these, seventyseven have found that thick spacing increased their yield, one 13 still experimenting. one gives his opinion without experimenting that thin spacing is best, and five report better results with thin spacing. These farmers who have conducted experiments of this kind have in nearly all cases gotten best results from thick spacing.

Lee) You must study to be frank with he world; frankness is the child of lonesty and courage. Say just what ou mean to do on every occasion, nd take it for granted you mean to lo right. If a friend asks a favor, ou should grant it. if it is reasonble; if not, tell him plainly why you anuot; you will wrong him an. rrong yourself by equivocation of ny kind. Never do a wrong thing to nake a friend or to keep one; tli nan who requires you to do so is early purchased at a sacrifice. Deal indly, but firmly, with all your elass nates; you will find it the policy rhich wears best. If you have any ault to find with anyone, tell him, iot others of what you complain; here is no more dangerous experinent than that of undertaking to be >ne tning Derore a man's face anil notLer behind his back.
