Clemson College, Feb. 21.?-Pullets posted high in South Carolina's agricultural program last year. Farmers in 41 counties co-operated with6the buyer and the extension service of Cleuison Agricultural College to ship in carlots more than a million und u ' half pounds or live poultry. Thihj marks a now advance in the nuu*'s elimination of expensive poultry imports. These birds were culled from farm flocks at a profit, whereas they would have continued to bounl at the farmer's expense. This means that there is a multitude of chickens coining profit in tflfe farmer's spare time and providing the sUt<? with eggs that heretofore were obtainable only at the price of imports with freight tacked on. Anderson county shipped, through the co-operation of County Ag|ent S. M. Byars and Extension Marketing Specialists 178,000 pounds. County Agent W. J. Tiller aided in assembling carlot shipments to the extent of 148,310 pounds. Pickens countyshipped 108,000 pounds,, with T. M. Bowen, county agent, leading the movement., And G. H. Griffin helped the farmers of Oconee county assemble 102,770 pounds at the car. Darlington,^ Florence, McCorrnick, Saluda and Spartanburg counties each shipped more than 50,000 pounds. All but five counties Shipped poultry by this co-operative plan. One of the counties that did not co-operate was without a county farm agent. Co-operative carlot shipping, a baby project of the division of markets in 1923, has grown from nine cars that year to comparatively great proportions. In its second year, 24 cars were shipped, third year 69 cars, and last year 104 cars. Returns from these shipments have not poured lavish wealth into the state's farms. But they have, in most cases, given decided relief from losses in other farming operations. And best of all they have opened the gate to biddy?a new profitable diversification. Riches in an Old Safe krank and Joseph Hyer, junk deal< '] s of South Atnboy, N. J., were offered a rusty, old safe if they would haul it away from a farm where it had been in the way for years. Getting it home the junkmen smashed the door of the safe and found stocks, bonds, jewels and cash amounting to $76,000 inside. No one knows who owned the safe or- its contents but the owners of the farm are going to court to i^ain possession. general news notes Harold F. Webster, convicted of second degree murder at Mineola, N. Y., last Friday, having killed his mother-in-law, was given a sentence of twenty years to life imprisonment. Webster expressed himself after the trial as being "as happy as a lord," over the verdict not being first degree, which would have meant the electric chair. William Donovan Blythe of South Orange, N. J., student at the University of.Alabama, was killed in an automobile accident at Tuscaloosa, Ala.,! Saturday. Policeman Louis Pizzo of Philadelphia, was on Friday night given a check for $2,000 and the Citizens' Award for outstanding bravery as an officer. Officer Pizzo arrested three men after they had killed a brother policeman in an attempt to hold up a bank messenger and rob him of $100,000. Policeman Walter Woolsey was given a like reward and award, he having arrested three bandits after they had attempted to hold him up. at a time when he was armed only with a blackjack; but.in the struggle managed to get hold of a gun ofv one Of the bapdits. }<?

TIKLR88 JOE* TOI.BKRT j, 1 Mahhm luiAotth Journal Kaposi* Political I'ationuge in This Stale Along triili iituny other South ('htj-. lirta |>a[H'i>? I'he Chronicle received a few day* ago a communication front The Independent, a widely read and influential journal, of Massachusetts, referring specifically to political conditions in South ("arrtlin#, fuH-tiuusly called 'Yurpetbugdad." Among other statements, it was said that the next issue of The Independent would make startling revelations concerning politics in South Carolina. It was added that this related to conditions existing in several towns. The article was written by Samuel Taylor Moore, kpecial correspondent, and is the first of several similar ones upon the same conditions in other Southern slates. The story is, ?.?f course, an interesting one, and while it is not all news to South Carolinians, it carries weight because of the details mentioned specifically, and for the further reason that the matter has been literally forced upon the attention of Republican officials at Washington, these in high places. It should be remarked, in passing, that among others, Representative W. F. Stevenson, of South Carolina, was the originator of the move made to give publicity to what J. W. Tolbert, Republican boss of South Carolina, was doing because of his official position. He hail "delivered the goods" where handing over the South Carolina Republican vote was concerned, and thus his official career was assured. In spite of what Representative Stevenson reported upon the floor of Oongiess, no action was taken. It has long been openly charged that "Ross" Tolbert had South Carolina postmasters appointed with the understanding that regular annual tributes in the shape of substantial amounts in cash would be contributed in payment, this in "deference" to the party contributing the Office in question. Many chairges were made, and "these were embalmed in the Congressional Record of January 24, 1924," says the article in The Independent. Continuing, The Independent narrates: "There Representative Stevenson, of South Carolina, publicly charges Joseph W. Tolbert with the sale of public office, naming Marcus Bloom, of Charleston, a meat dealer, and J. E. Stuckey as collectors. With lettor and affidavit are recorded the sale of the postoffice at Mullins for $400, the offer of reappointment made by Tolbert to W. N. Floyd, of Spartanburg, in 1912, for a price of $800, and the barter of postoffices at Sumter, Woodruff, Laurens, Darlington, and Ridgeway, the latter to a widow, Mrs. Stella R. Nelson. George Pearley Carroll, a former school teacher, relates that he paid his saving of $75 for the postoffice at Allsbrook. J. C. McElhaney, of Fort Mill, confesses in a newspaper article that his office of postmaster cost him exactly $50, Most of the checks were made payable to the treasurer of the Republican State Committee?and Mr. Tolbert as chairman of that body could draw against the funds in the bank "More recently has been adduced testimony to show that Parnell Meehah, postmaster at Chesterfield, collected several hundred dollars from two candidates to carry mail. The money was traced, in one case a1 least, to a higher-up. There also ex ists an affidavit made by A. A. Gates whose activities have already beer mentioned, swearing that Tolbert tolc him he would make at least $100,001 frbm patronage sales in South Carolina. Such is a partial record of the sail of public office in Carpetbagdad Postmaster-General New stated thai he had withdrawn the nomination foi reappointment of Meehan, baaed or the test<mony of two applicants foi carrier at Chesterfield. But wher asked why he did not hold the Re publican referee responsible for conditions, he was evasive. The tenor ol his comment was that Joe Tolbert k a privileged character. And strange as it may seem, the service of the Tolbert family to the cause of Republicanism in the South may justify some claim to specia treatment. First must be considerec the political background of the state Smarting from ten years of carpetbag rule and black dominion, eince 1870 the race issue haisf been at the fore On the surface but one party has beer in control?but actually there have been two. The followers of Pitchfork Ben" Tillman to all intents have Constituted the Democratic party at it"is identified outside the Solid South The anti-Tillmanites, the conservatives, tfould elsewhere be Republicans Yet so sharply drawn is the coloi issue that political antagonisms con sistently have been buried for the supremacy of the white race. In mean a contest as a mayorality cam paign, the candidate who seeks to reg ister negre>es with a distinct-voider standing they will vote Democratic :: automatically beaten by that very ef ? * " - -wi? i rar.j- - ~ . - - ' . -*Tj ?rr?~ * -L? The Tolbert family is designated by thjj generic term "scalawag." The 1 word implies a differentiation from a carpetbagger in that the latter was an . alien establishing residence in the i South for personal profit, while a , scalawag was a Confederate turned [ Republican, .lohn R. Tolbert, father of Joe, vyas a loyal Confederate officer during the War of the Rebellion. Afterwards he held Republican office and raised his three sons in the same cause. Thomas was never active politically; but Joseph W. and R. R. Tolbert have been wheel horses of the party in South Carolina. . The Tolberts have written a page in blood in the state's political history. Back in 18i>8 R. R. Tolbert was a Republican candidate for Congress. At a polling place called Phoenix a body of negroes, variously estimated at from one to four hundred, marched to . a separate ballot box to deposit depo aitions that they had not boon allowed to vote. The man In charge * of the ballot box sought to take ' charge. He was killed. Then began ! a race riot., John R. Tolbert and ' Thomas Tolbert were seriously wounded; R. R. Tolbert fled the country; Joe Tolbert was beBieged by a mob in a hotel in Columbia, the i state capital, where he had taken refuge. Judge Lynch held sway. Ten i or more negroes were killed. For a year the Tolberts were exiles in Florida threatened with death should they dare return. It was Joe Tolbert who first braved the wrath of the community by going back to the family estate. He prepared the way for his father and brothers. Stigmatized and ostracized by their neighbors, the Tolberts have never since prospered. Their barns and dwellings have been mysteriously burned. R. R. Tolbert, once chief aid to his brother, is an inmate of a sanitarium, his health wrecked. Whatever its faults, the Tolbert clan does not lock courage. The national committeeman is generally referred to as "Tieless Joe," n cognomen gained by his habit of never wearing a tie. He is the ranking member of the Republican National Committee, and the eleven votes of South Carolina can always be de live red by him to the proper candiilate in any Republican National Convention. Therein lies his power. He hand-picks the negro delegates, and they are virtually prisoners until it is time to vote?when they follow hi* instructions. Party organization is a myth, yet contesting delegations at national conventions never get beyond a boiHHl hearing with their doom sealed from the start. A poor grammarian, Tieless Joe is an orator of native ability. He can bring tear* to the eyes over the injustices inflicted hy the unholy methods of the Democratic organization. It has already been. recorded that he is a power in Waahington. He is received at the White House while the reports of criminallaw violations filed by the Civil Service Commission gather dust in the pigeon-boles of the Attorney-General.
