I Corrected Account of S. A. I~ Theft. At the request of Mr. \V. M. L'rasington we are publishing a signed I statement by Chief Jacobs eiving exact ; conversation with reference to S. A L .t!re theft. 1 The statement follows: When I approached Mr. W. M. BrasIngton with reference to the two missing Lee tires which were taken from the S. L. depot sometime in August we decided to drive down the river hill where we would not be interrupted He told me that he was not at the garage when the tires came in and that Wells told him that he had swapped a tire with Fisher for the two because the tires would not fit Fish- 1 4 ers car. Mr. Brasington said the tires ! had been sold to a Mr. Brewer. He then told me that he had just brought four other tires from the Seaboard depot. Fisher having sent word for him to come by the depot. He said i t..i? S.X. ? CI on arriving ai me uepui mui nauci brought four tires out of the ware, house and put them in his (Fisher's' car telling him (Brasington) to put the new tires on his (Fisher's) car and put the best old one on the rear carrier We then came back up the hill to the garage and found the four tires and Fisher's car gone. J. J. Brasington, brother of W. M. who wa3 in the garage told us that Roy Wells had driven off in the car with the tires. I waited a while at the garage and i Wells came back. 1 asked Walls where he had taken the tires and Brasington told him the tires were stolen from the depot. Wells then went with me and got the tires. Signed, W. A. Jacobs. Our last week's account of the stolen tires at the S. A. L. was read by Cliief Jacobs before publication and pronounced correct by him. Perhaps the wording of the article did^fr. Brasington an injustice, however, the above statement stands as his conversation with Chief Jacobs, ft was not our intention to, in any way, injure Mr. Brasington nor was this the intention of Chief Jacobs. No warrant has been sworn out charging Mr. Brasington with any part in the affair. o School News.

DAVID'S CEMETERY CHE RAW Near the center of the cemetery a very modest stone marks the grave of Henry Mclver Born 1826 Died 1903 Judge Mclver was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Caroline for many years, the term terminating with his death. He was one of the ablest jurists in America. The Chief Justice of Alabama once said, "1 regard the legal opinions of Judge Mclver to be^the best written and the ablest of any judge on the bench, and I have tried for years in writing my opinion to use his as models." Henry Mclver was one of the sign ers of the ordinance of secession and when the civil war started he enter-1 ed the field and was a captain in the 4th S. C. Calvary. He was wounded in the battle of Haw's Shop. It was in this battle that Joe Lindsay, grand father of the editor of this paper, was killed. fcienry Mclver was the father of Judge Edward Mclver. For many years he lived in the house now occupied by Mr. Hartzell, but the last few years of his life he lived in the house where Judge Edward Mclver lives. o Strong Agricultural Teaching F6rce. Clemson College, Sept. 8, 1921.? There will be no change in teaching staff or in the courses given in the agricultural departments resident teaching work for the coming session, and the prospects are for a good year of effective work, says Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, director. There will be a general strengthening of the courses given, and also the probable addition of an elective in foreign languages. The division of agricultural aducation is adding two assistant professors who are to give a good part of their time to teaching agriculture in the Seneca and Calhoun Clemson high schools, which will be used by the division as practice schools in teaching agriculture and science. The divisions and teaching force making up the department are as follows. The list does not include specialists in experiment statement or extension service work. Agronomy?C. P. Blackwell, G. H.

New York relained closed; until the following Tuesday on ac. count of Labor Day holidays. Liverpool seemed to realize on Monday the American cotton crop* was really a very small one, and that market advanced 61 English poiiits while New York was closed. Liverpool made further sensational gains during the following two days. New Work responded to this advance, and continu. ed to snar until September 7th. when October touched 21..7 and the Spring months went above 22c. Spot cotton sold as high as*211/2C to 22c Basis Middling. At this level a wave ofi profit-taking set in and futures broke] sharply, October touching 18c on Thursday.

Department Religious Education Es taltlished at Wofford. York, Sept. 13.?With Prof. A. M Trawick, A..B. B. D., In charge, a Department of Religious Education has been established at WofTord College Spartanburg, according to announcement received here and will begir its work at the approaching term- ol that well known college. In a leaflet bearing on the new department FVof. Traywiek says among other things: The general purpose of th:s department of instruction is threefold: (1) to train college men to think of religion and the church with the same accuracy and thoroughness that they give science and other facts of hum__ H.n fun ail atiivn* , \ i* i iu oiuuj me iutidamental principles of religion and the methods of teaching religion; (3) to assist men in acquiring the right motive and spirit for leadership and service in the organized church. Both Church and College recognize the need of definite religious education not alone for ministers and mis. sionaries, but equally for laymen who believe that religion should be the controlling influence in the world of human affairs. Responding to an insistent demand, religious education in the Church and in the College is rapidly gathering sentiment, creating literature, and erecting standards of efficiency, by means of which the com bined forces of right living are to be more surely matched with ^ie world's needs. The Church College recognizes its definite function in this work, and is offering its resources and equipment to assist students to find in teh Church 'their largest op. portunity of intelligent interest and activity. This department will seek to cooperate with the other departments of instruction wi?h the purpose to qualify students for active support and leadership of religious education in their home churches and communities. A total of twenty-four semester hours is offered, and the student " Ka AAmnlninn full Tl'nrV nftorci ?

C., Sept. 15.?Football practice at the University of South Carolina began Monday afternoon when forty cahdidates put in their appearance for the usual workout on the athletic field. This large turnout on the opening day clearly indicated that there is more interest in the gridiron game at the University this year than has ever before been the case. Practice during the week was of a very light order and consisted in teaching the new candidates such fun damentals as holding the ball, passing catching and positions for charging. At this writing it is difficult to determine just what the outlook is for ihe coming season. It seems certain, however, that the Gamecocks will have a fast and aggressive backfield, averaging close to 105 pounds. The line is the main problem of the coaches and "Wop" McGowan, who will have charge of this work, has a difficult task ahead in rounding out a set of forwards of sufficient size and strength to Ct>i>e with the heavier rush lines Carolina will meet in its big games. This year the University set such a high standard in its entrance requirements that many of the more promising high school candidates over the State who had planned coming to Carolina this Fall were unable to meet these rigid requirements. As a result the Gamecocks will have to play through the season, as they did last year, with a rather light set of forwards. The services of the veterans of last year has been applied also in breaking in the new men trying for the ends and backfleld positions. Capt. Gressette has taken entire charge of the preliminary training of the backfield candidates. He has devoted his attention to grounding them in prop, er methods of starting and running. A great deal of interest is already being shown in the opening game of are already planning a trip to Colum. lst. Many graduates over the State are already planning a tri pto Columbia to see the 1921 aggregation in its initial workout against the eleven led by Phillips, who is considered to be one of the greatest backs of all time. The Carolina schedule this fall con. tains eight games, six of them to be played on the home grounds. The first big game of the season is at Columbia October 15, when the University <.f X. C. will be the opponent. On Thursday of Fair Week the annual state classic with Clenison will be held. On November a, Carolina meets the University of Florida at Tampa and the following Saturday Furnian is played at Greenville. Mrs. G. \V. Duvall returned Wednesday from a visit to Philadelphia. . I ROOT KNOT ON' PEACH TREES. Danger In Planting Peaches In Infested Land. Clemson College, Sept. 15?The ad. i vent .of the boll weevil has made in , necessary for many South Carolina farmers to turn to other crops than i cotton. The peach is one of the most ' promising of the substitute crops. There is danger, however, in planting under some circumstances; and t the division of botany of Clemson College warn s especially against setting trees in soil heavily infested with nematodes. These tiny worms produce the familiar knots on the roots of many plants, including peaches, cotton and many of our legumes. Where cotton has been grown continuously or has been alternated with other susceptible crops, the soil is almost sure to be heavily infested. To plant a peach orchard on such soil without treatment to cleanse it of the nematodes is to court failure, since under such conditions the trees become heavily infested before they are well established and many of them can be expected to die. If, i however, the trees can be protected until they are well started and have i struck their roots deeply into the ; soil they can be expected to do wel i in spite of a limited amount of root knot, and will make a profit if ] properly cultivated otherwise. This is especially true if they have a good < clay subsoil for the roots. However, they can be expected to become in- | fested eventually and to pass their < period of productiveness more quick- i ly than trees on thoroughly clean < soil. x The be3t plan to follow, where it ^ i desired to set peach trees in infested soil, is to starve out the nematodes. This is accomplished by growing crops not susceptible to root knot 1 for two or three years. This length t of time with small grain, corn, and i velvet beans will usually reduce the number of nematodes to so low a ( point that peaches will succeed. The ( resistant varieties of cowneas and cotton are not so valuable in this j regard, for they- are not entirely immune. It is important also to keep the weeds down, because many of them harbor the parasite. Further information about this disease can be secured from- the botany division or by reference to Farmer's Bulletins 649 and 1187 of the United States Department o Agriculture. o LOCAL ITEMS.

In the six dull months of this bulelosed year Ford yanked the Detroit i Toledo Railroad out of a yawning leflcit and gave it a flying start with !1,261,259 surplus and net operating ncome of $567,618. Where the road >efore handled 200 cars in 24 hours, ''ord steamed up to 1,200 cars in 42 lours. Besides, he ordered the updating officials out of their private ars and made them take regular ser. rice or walk. And on top of all these nnovations he managed to reduce the rain schedule fully two hours! Did the Flivver King do these hings by reducing wages and laying iff men? He did not. Clumsy, old. ashioned subterfuge of this stripe inly appears to "regular" railroad nen. Did he accept the wage scale of the abor unions? He did not. He did letter than that. He raised his wages iver the union scale, and not only dis>osed of all labor troubles and dickirings by this bold stroke but.sejured for his road a gang of men who vent to work with a gleam in the eye.

The Chesterfield County almshouse ' has been greatly improved since last year. The present score is 672 out of a possible 1000 as compared with j a total of only 587 for 1920, an in. ( crease of eight and one half per cent. The chief causes for this improvement are: the employment of a good superintendent, the screening of the inmates' house, the payment of a sum , sufficient for the cost of the necessar*food and clothing, and the much bet| ter kept rooms. The improvement in the negro quarters is especially marked. The superintendent should keep a set of records showing the name, age, date of admission, and cause of ad. mission of each of the inmates. The preaeui iee sysieni nas oeen abandoned in almost every other county in the state.' Instead of a certain fee per month for each inmate, the superintendent should be paid a salary and allowed to make requisition upon the County Commissioners for the necessary food and other supplies. H. C. Brearley Asst. Secretary. o REPOBT OF YI8IT TO THE CHESTEBFIELD COOTY JAIL, MADE AUG. 5, 1921, By Asst. Secretary H. C. Brearley. The Chesterfield County jail has re- ' cently been greatly improved by the installation of a new water and lighting system of a cost of nearly one thousand dollars. This system con. siBts of an engine, a 140 foot pump, a pressure tank, a generator, and a 140 foot pump, a pressure tank, a generator, and a pumping engine run by current from the storage batter, ies of the lighting plant. This improvement has added much to the comfort of the prisioners and the convenience of the jailer. As usual the conditions in the prisoners' quarters . were good, SherifT Grant taking much Interest in their case. One lavatory was in poor repair, however, and a white man was in Via aomn poll hlnplf wfth nP^rO altho the two were separated by an Iron grating. The greatest need of ,this jail is some method of heating the four cells outside the cell block. Thc^e celh should be used to separate the various classes of prisoners, but they can be utilized in winter with only difficulty because they are unequipped with either oil stoves or with flues for heaters. H. C. Brearley, . Asst. Secretary. o KEPORT OF VISIT TO THE CHESTERFIELD COUNTY CHAIN GANG, MADE AUG. 5, 1921 By Asst. Secretary H. C. Brearley The Chesterfield County chain gang has shown most marked improvement during the past, year, the score having increased from 639 to 750 out of a passible 1000.'' The camp equipment has been increased, three new tents 1) _ , lf have been purchased, ana me manage ment has been greatly bettered. An especially commendable feature is the excellently screened kitchen tent. For the further improvement of this camp it is recommended that the bill of fare be more varied, that the soiled buckets be emptied into the pit and the refuse vocered with at least three inches of earth, that records of the prisoners be kept at the County engineer's office as well as at the camp, and that the bedding be washed more frequently. , H.
