"BIG GUNS" OF SOUTHERN
GET SALARY REDUCTION.
Officers of Company Will Have
to Share Sacrifice Caused
by Business Depression.
Washington, 1). October 14. ? In
view of the curtailment of service
made necessary hy the current depres
sion of business and the consequent
reduction of the opportunity of many
hundreds of employees to earn wages
to which they have been accustomed,
President Fairfax Harrison of the
Southern Hallway company, has deem
ed that it is only fair that the officers
Of the company should share the sac
rifice. ? 1 ? * ? ? ? ? ^
He has accordingly reduced his own
salary twenty per cent, and has asked
all the Other officers receiving salaries
in excess of twenty-five hundred dol
lars per annum to accept temporary
reductions on a descending scale, pro
portioned to the amount of their sal
aries, so as to distribute the personal
sacrifice equitably. Under the plan
adopted the pay of those receiving sal
aries of as much aSt wenty-seven hun
dred dollar^ will be reduced two per
cent. The officers affected have all
accepted the situation with loyal ap
preciation of the necessity of a spirit
of mutual sacrifice. While the actual
saving to the company on. this account
|is . relatively small, the principle of
common interest of all those who draw
their livelihood from Southern Hall
way company has been the controlling
motive.
Following this action, the Hoard of
Directors has reduced the dividend of
the preferred stockholders, many of
whom are women dependent upon this
income, from five to four and one-half
per cent, altho it was fully earned
liefore the present tendency of busi
ness was apparent, and has declared
It payable not in cash but in deferred
scrip so that all interests in the pro
perty may participate in the retrench
ment.

(if lltf division of gfiuthcrn Field Crop
Insects, 1\ S. HUft'rtll, of Entomology.
In some manner the Impression lm*
been rwi'ivwl by some of (host? who
an* offer! iik plans for altering the
Mouth's present cotton policy that if
all cotton whs cut out next year tin*
hoi I weevil would l?e eliminated. The
entomological division of Clcmson Col
lege conferred hy telegraph with Dr.
Hunter, ii worldwide authority on the
boll weevil, and Dr. Ilunter fepliwll
"The destruction of boll weevil hy
elimination of 101f> crop is entirely
impracticable." ,
Two plant*, tliurhcriae and hibiscus,
are chief among the reasons why cut
ting out all cotton would not wi|H* out
tiie holl weevil. That the weevil will
breed in either of these planta ban
heel) demonstrated definitely,
A. F. Conraili, State Entomologist,
says that cutting out the entire crop
for a year would wijie out vast num
bers of the weevil and would elimi
nate the pest entirely from scattered
localities. Hut, he says, the weevil
would return in an large numbers an
before as sooli as cotton wan again
planted. The insect prefers cotton to
any other plant, as far as is known,
but it lias great adaptability and would
And other ways to live and to propa
gate If cut. off from cotton.
The purjxwe of thin statement is to
correct the false impression about the
relation of cotton elimination to boll
weevil elimination and is intended, it
is stated, to touch on the entomologi
cal phase of the Question only.
Judge George E. Prince, ^holding

battery of high and aggravated na
ture, and sentenced to pay a fine of
$100, to pay the tine in lint cotton as
counsel had pleaded that their client
could not pay the tine owing to the
low price of cotton, and the. judge
allowed Gibxon to bring to the county

cotton In lieu of the tine.
