Jame* I^uwson, a negro, went to hi* death in the electric chair at the state prison at I/ittle Rock, Ark., Friday with a smile on his face. He killed a farmer in April in a quarrel over wages. The first bale of Florida grown cot' ton to reach the market at New Orleans, was donated by the buyers to the welfare committee of the city, the proceeds to go to the relief of the unemployed. Its attorneys have informed the Spartanburg county board of education that one man may not be u school district trustee and a teacher of the school at the same time, and when placed in both positions must choose the one he will keep. A man arriving in Gaffney, rented a store, and announced that he was going to open there an antique shop, one of a chain of three, the rest in North Carolina. Then he was jailed on a charge of giving a check on a bank which has been closed for over a year. "citation ~ The State of South Carolinu County of Kershaw ? By I/. R.

What About Cotton For Bagging If cotton bagging were substituted tor Jute on cotton bales, a market would be created for some 200,000 balets of the lowest grade cotton and an estimated annual saving of three to four million dollar* would be achieved, depending upon the sire of the crop, export* and' competing price* of jute. To begin with, there would be a saving jn weight of from 7 to 10 pound* on each bale. Every bale of cotton hu* to be hauled somewhere, most of it by freight to some more or less distant point. On ?ix to *?ven million bale* exported, together with the saving on cotton in domestic ti ade, the saving in freight costs is estimated at about $2,000,000. wSav-| ing on insurance commission* would run around $.100,000, and there would be a saving on toward another mil- j lion dollars. A number of hearings have been held in Washington looking toward the wider use of cotton bagging. ?Some of these we have attended. In making the change from jute to cdtton there seems to be no problems that do not lend themselves to very practical solution. Perhaps the first thing to do will be to get an act of Congress that will definitely establish standards for the size of bale;, for the weight of ties and bagging, and that will force all cotton moving in interstate and foreign commerce to be sold on a net weight basis. In doing this we will be setting up no, precedent, for selling on a net weight basis is practiced in every other cotton producing country under the sun except our own. As a matter of fact, more than half the American crop sold in Eurbpe is sold on what amounts to a net weight basis. Foreign markets are quite willing to have us handle our part of the business that way. Tests have demonstrated that cotton bagging is not only a suitable protection but that its neat appearance adds much to the attractiveness of the cotton bale in the markets, and that in foreign shipments where cotton bagging has been used, the bales arrive in better shape. So there are no objections of any sort that cannot be overcome, once we have opportunity to get at them, as we have only through proper legislation. Much is being said about new uses for cotton. Covering cotton with cotton appeals to us as offering about the greatest opportunity to increase cotton consumption. (iRASSIIOPPERS DESTROY CROPS Devastation Like That of Sixty Years Ago leaves Nothing Rut Ground The agricultural department says that it has nO- funds with which to mule, luke the?graduation of gi-n-,.? hoppers in the heavily infested states of Nebraska and South Dakota. Acting Secretary -Dunlap told Representative Howard, Democrat, of Nebraska, the department's appropriation for grasshopper control was small and restricted to research work. Drought conditions in the Northwest are supplemented Dy a return or the grasshopper in South Dakota, Nebraska. Eastern Colorado, Idaho' and Western Kansas. The hated pest has been assisted in this latest progress across the prairies by three dry years that have come in swift succession. The grasshopper's eggs are laid three inches below the surface of the ground, and according to the estimate of an expert at the South Dakota agricultural college a single spadeful of earth examined by him contained 100,000 of them. Not for more than sixty years have the insects appeared in such numbers. b or many years a suggestion of humor has attached to mention of grasshoppers a-s a serious menace. Yet in 1S70 they devasated a vast Western farming area, and now the threat is so serious in the state referred :o that carloads of poison have been imported in order to combat them. Millions of eggs have been destroyed, but the menace continues. But pessimists were handed a terrific wallop in some sections of Nebraska. A pest of hungry grasshoppers wreaked havoc among the crops but enterprising farmers there have found that grasshoppers packed in a preservative formula bring 2C k cents a pound among fishermen ir Michigan and other states. The grasshopper crop is more productive than their wheat. In Nebraska 63 of the state's 9: counties have been infested. In one South Daleota field of l.ftOO acres Iowa state entomologists found nol enough remains to feed a single ani mal. In Iowa, state officers are seek ing an appropriation of $50,000 t< fight the pests, moving relentlessly in battle lines from the Missour river eastward. Horrent ion in the Home Recreation is a re-creation or u re-fa?hioning <>* the soul in the linage of God wherein it was created."? A. K. Wells. the home is the natural center of play and play is the natural source of education for the child. It is his business. When parents realize the importance of play and when play begins to take its proper .place in the educational outlook then leisure at home wikl become a most fruitful time for all the family. Io pluy together?not because wt should but because w* want to playis a splendid opportunity for understanding and growth on the part of both parents and children. Those children who go outside the home because of u desire to be where "something is doing" will be happy to stay home when parents realize the possibilities of home recreation. Some one has suid, "Recreation and play lightens the home atmosphere as yeast lightens bread." It has a <lofj inite power to raise the plahe of life to higher spiritual and intellectual levels." r Recreation in the home is not a thing of wealth nor of time, but of attitudes? the world is so full of a number of things but unless the children and the things are brought inio intelligent contact' it will be difficult for them to be as happy as kings. When children quarrel, fret or complain for something to do, they are reminding us once more that every normal child needs to play. Of course they can be punish<*j or made to keep quiet, but it is better to give them something to do. Children live in a world of make-believe. They like to play. Play develops character, produces courage, trains a child in honesty and creates social attitudes. The boy or girl who takes his turn at play will grow into a man or woman who will cooperate with his neighbor in soling milk, fruit, vegetables or in buying feed and fertilizer. The child's mind may be thought of as a storehouse for which we offer him experience, contacts, pictures, knowledge, sights, scenes and sounds. This storehouse contains his wealth, that which he is to use all his life l?ng. out of which ho builds a radiant soul. Almost all of these bits of gold or dross come from his play. Reading is one of the greatest sources of wealth for the child's storehouse. Motion pictures may be one of the finest educational forces we have. They may bring far away places and events so close as to become at once a part of his experience. But the movie cannot compete for a moment with the drama in which the child participates. The child is a being of action. Another form of drama is the puppet show which combines carpentry, water colors and much wrapping paper will work wonders in combination with the child's imn;-inntir>n Music and poetry are closely aFihr The music from within is the real music to the child and will grow as tissue grows?by use. Many times his simplicity and depths of meaning is far superior to that which we give him by radio or phonograph or mechanical piano. . - A play might be arranged once a week, or every two weexs or even once a month when just the family is together and play games?get acquainted with your family, you might like them. We are all familiar with the houselife of Theodore Roosevelt?how he and Mrs. Roosevelt were regarded as ' playmates ?&nd companions of their children and when a day's program was planned it inaluded all the fami'y ?from the seven year old to the sixty-five year old Mother?together. Speaking of this communal play of the family, Col. Roosevelt says, "That is what counted, 1 believe, in my own life more, than anything else?that communal play and association." We need games that recreate us from moment to moment so that our souls shall never get dry, prosaic or discouraged. Play and beauty running like a gold thread through the I warp of our life fabric are surely as ; needful a< the more concentrated and ! exclusive business hours, j The county home dent nstration i agent.

Camden Juniors Lose To Columbia (Saturday'* Columbia State) Columbia'* Legion Juniors defeated the snappy Camden Junior team yesterday afternoon, 6 to 1, to take the state I region title the second consecutive year, thereby winning the right to enter the regional championiftip series at Gastonia August 13 and 14. If the Capital City boys go undefeated through their battles with the champions of North Curolina, Virginia and Tennessee, they will advance to the Eastern finals at Manchester, N. H. The winner there will meet the Western champion at Houston, Texas, in "the little world series." In reference to yesterday's game, too much cannot be said for the gamely fighting team from the Kershaw seat, especially the pitcher, Curtis Munn. Shouldering the major burden of his team's offense and defense, he fanned nine batters, more than has any Colu,mbia opponent this season, alh/wed only ten safeties and led his own team's batting with two hits out of four times at bat. ? His delivery was easy, his'curves baffling and his speed good. Using these to the best advantage with the help of his catcher, "Cabbage" Nelson, he changed his pace and sized up his batsman witih the ability of a veteran. Nelson and J3ill Reeves secured the other Camden safeties and the whole team gave a good account of itself afield. Albertus Truesdale topk fielding honors for the visiting outer gardeners with three catches and an assist, while Nelson led the infielders. Camden presented an organization of youngsters averaging less than 16 years old. Most of them will be eligible for play next year. They were playing against a seasoned team, most of the placers of which had seen one year's service with a championship Junior outfit. Kenneth Ouzts, with two doubles, furnished all the extra base fireworks in yesterday's tilt, while Harry Laval, son of the University of South Carolina coach, took batting honors with three singles out of four times at hat. Bee Harper was runner-up with three out of five. Jim Good and J. J. Kneece secured a single apiece, the only other Columbia bingles. Kneece was erratic on the mound at times, but he managed to pull himself out of almost every hole. He fanned 13 batters, walked only three and let up only four hits. Only one error was charged against the Columbians, a bouncing peg to second by Bunny Graham, catcher. A loose start by Camden allowe 1 the Columbia Juniors to cash in three runs on a 'hit, a walk and two errors in the opening inning. They tallied no more than one run in any one -g.t.n ny;i t h orofl f f Munn tallied for Camden in the fourth. He singled to left field, stoie second, advanced to third on Graham's miscue and scored on Nelson's single to right. Graham was safe at first in Columbia's half of the same inning, when Alvin Sanders hobbled his ?rrounder at shortstop. He swiped second and tallied on Harper's drive to left field. Ouzts poled out his second double in the fifth and stolfr third and home. After two were out in the sixth, Harper placed a hot grounder between shortstop and third baqe. Good scored him with a drive through the same territory. Camden Juniors AB R H PO A E Sanders, ss .... 3 0 0 0 1 2 McCallum, 3b .... 3 0 0 2 1 1 A.
