Chain from a joist of his barn at his'
home in the northeastern part of the
county yesterday morning. No motive

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'

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

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.

A LETTER TO HIS SOX.
(By Robert E. 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

In regard to duty, let me, in con-,
elusion of this hasty letter, inform j
you that nearly a hundred years ago
there was a day of remarkable gloom t
and darkness?still known as the'
"dark day" ?a day when the light
of the sun was slowly extinguished
as If by an eclipse. The Legislature
ot Connecticut was in session, and.
as the members saw the unexpected
and unaccountable darkness conilnr
on, they shared in the general awe'
and terror. It was supposed by many j
that the last day?the day of judgment

adjournment. Then there arose an
old Puritan legislator. Davenport,
of Stamford, and said that. If
last day had come, he desired to be
found in his place doing his duty an>'
therefore moved that candles be
brought in, so that the House coul.l
proceed with its duty. There wv.h
