Large Insurance Policies
One hundred and forty-nine South
Caiolinians carry insurance in the
sum of $00,000 or more, according
to compilations of The Spectator, a
weekly "business paper of insurance,"
published New York.
Two South Carolinians are listed
us carrying insurance in exee*? of
$1,000,000?Col, t^roy Springs, of
Lancaster, over $1,000,000 and J< P
Abney, of Greenwood, $ 1,200,000/
One hundred and ninety-five men of
the United States and Canada,
among them the two South Carolinians,
are placed among the "millionaire
policy holders," persons who
own life insurance policies aggregating
$1,000,000 or more. Heading the
list is Rodman Wannamaker of New
York, with $7,500,000. Jesse Lasky,
William Fox and Adolph Zukor, all
of New York, and Frank P. Book,
Herbert V. Book and J. Burgess
Book, alJ of Detroit, are listed as

Constance Talmadge, Douglas Fairhanks,
Mary Pickford,, Will Rogers
and John McCormack are recorded as
carrying only $1,000,000 each.
Makes Negro Lose Smile
Sad now is that Columbia Negro,
l)avid Mitchell, with several aliases,
who, with a white youth, went chain
store robbing in New York. As the
result of one of the quickest cases
of punishment following crime in
New York court records, he and the
white man are, three days after]
capture, on their way to, Sing Sing
to serve sentences "from 40 to 80
years" each. ~ - ?
Whether he has learned wisdom
may be doubted, hut David has acquired
the meaning of a large word.
When sentenced to from 20 to 40
years one each of two indictments,
"the sentences to run consecutively,"
Mitchell interrupted with: "Judge,
what does that word 'consecutively'
mean ? "
"It will give me great pleasure to
enlighten you," replied^.!udge Marten,
"It meamf^hat when you finish one
sentence you will start the other
one. Forty years at least."
And then David lost his smile.
By the time he yomes out the holdup
game may have become obsolete
in New York. It would quickly lose
adherents were other trials as brief
and sentences as hard as in this
ease. -Columbia State.
Wants Cotton Stalks Destroyed
J. Clifton Rivers, South Carolina
warehouse commissioner, is calling
upon the farmers of the State to destroy
cotton stalks as rapidly as the
staple is picked, and at the same
time made a prediction that prices
for the crop would soar in the near
future. Destruction of the stalk the
commissioner declared saying he was
speaking as a practical farmer,
would insure against more than
negligible hotl weevel damage next
year, by preventing the hibernation
of vigorous female weevils. Even
were there no weevil menace, he added,
such a step would stop the
Rtalks from putting out a second
growth and using the fertile materials
of the soil to no purpose.
Basing his estimate on the ginning
figures of 3,505,000 bales to September
16, the commissioner said he
believed the crop would be a round
12,000,000 bales. "When the department
of commerce says that 17.000,000
bales were used last year,'
he "said, "every indication is for
higher prices before the seasor
N closes."

Club Boy*, Camp* Belter This Year
Clemson College, Sept. 30. Ninehundred
and seventy-one or 46 percent,
of the 4232 white boys enrolled
io 4-H Clyb attended camps held by
28 county farm agents during the
season just closed. Camps were usually
county-wide, though in a few
instances two or three counties came
together for a camp, and in one instance
four counties joined for a
ramp held at Clemson College where
the campers hud uccess to facilities
offered regular college students.
The camps lasted two to four days,
usually three. In most instances the
last day was designated as Visitor's
Bay, and some 6,000 visitors attended
the various camps and many of
these visitors expressed themselves
as delighted with the camp activities
and accomplishments.
The camp programs, says B. O.
Williams, state boys' club agent,
included work and play. The mornings
were usually devoted to instruction,
including lectures, demonstrations,
nature study a/id identification
contests; the afternoons to
play and recreation, through games,
contests, etc.; and the evenings to
lectures, pictures, sOngs, stunts and
other activities.
1'rograms were carried out more
efficiently and discipline was more
satisfactory than in other years,
?first, because club members themselves
have learned how to work together
better; and, second, because
local community club leaders, subject
matter specialists, business men
and organizations and others rendered
excellent service.
Kich Indian Women
It may be surprising to many
to know that one of the largest
unearned incomes received by any
person in America last year went
to an Indian woman. Charles H.
Burke, commissioner of Indian affairs
in a recent statement revealed
that one Oklahoma woman of the*
QuapavV tribe, whose name was not
given, received during the fiscal year
ended June 30 the sum of $199,296.-.
'0. oi $513 a day, from lead and
zinc royalties.
Many other Indians of this tribe
received amounts ranging from
$ > >.00 to $112,000 for the year, while
the tribe as a whole received $1,307,HI
as their returns on land and zinc
leases on their land. Even this large
sum is small compared to the royalties
received by tribes owning oil
lands.
When the government induced
the Five Nations and other tribes
to locate ;n the Indian territory, now
a part of the State of Oklahoma,
duiing the middle ot the last century,
it was little thought that the lands
granted to them held some of
the most valuable mineral deposits
in the world, including oil, coal, lead
and zinc.
De\elopment of these resources
during th.e past twenty-five years
have made many of the descendants
of these tribes wealthy, and this
wealth has led to many interesting
marriages between them and whites.
A good many white men would
probably consider the copper-colored
lady with an income of $513 a day
a- a rather attractive matrimonial
prospect.?Cherokee Times.

JAY'S COTTON LBTT*R

is Placed at 13,606,006 Bak*
.... _ t.. .? ' i
J. W. Jay and Company, well
known cotton tctojt auttitlctaiM, of
HNew York, in a report mad* September
24th, given the average Indicated
percentage condition for the
United States at 55.2, and the indicated
yield with normal weather
henceforth, at 13,606,000 bales.
For South Carolina the report
hh^s: Weather favorable. No top
crop prospects. Kxpect completion
of picking around November first.
Frost on average date will have little
effect. Weevil have been very
active. Supply of labor sufficient for
gathering crops.
Commenting on the crop conditions
as a whole the report further says:
"Ordinarily the fine weather of
the past month would cause crop estimates
to he raised, but the taking
of new fruit by the weevil and the
forcing of the older fruit to maturity
by temperatures, which were above
normal, has had the opposite effect.
Our correspondents quite generally
report that more bolls than usual
are required to the pound of lint
cotton.
"With the exception of parts of
Oklahoma* the high altitudes in
Texas, parts of Tennessee, Virginia
and the Far West; frost on an averr
age date will make little difference.
The weevil has taken most of the top
crop and in some sections a large
part of the middle crop. The saving
feature, this season is the almost
general fair to excellent bottom crop.
Picking is proceeding as rapidly as
labor conditions will permit although
somewhat delayed in parts of Texas
by rain. Altogether the percentage
ginned to date is much above the
average, although picking did not
cover as much territory as in either
of the years of 1925 or 1926.
"The grade is running high and
thus far averages above Middling."
