i Second Largest Grower
of Cotton Passes Away
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 28.?The
I cotton country Thursday mourned the
the passing of R. E. Lee Wilson, the
world's second largest producer of the
: fleecy staple.
Mr. Wilson, 67, died in a Memphis
hospital late Wednesday.
A powerful figure in Arkansas
politics, Mr. Wilson was the founder
mk! owner of the "model" town of
Wilson. Ark. His farming operations
included 40,000 acres in one
Arkansas county alone, as well as
largest acreages in other states.
A pedigreed cotton farm where a
special "Wilson type" of big boll cotton
is bred, is operated in connection
with the Wilson plantation in ArkanMr.
Wilson was born two miles
wuth of the place where he established
the model town of Wilson and
it was in this section that he spent
his life. He once built a railroad
through Mississippi County, Arkansas,
which today is "part of the
Frisco System.
Four men were the first arrested
!B Floi "i nee as night riders destroying
cotton in fields, and all gave bond

Bags Two Deer
With One Shot
After thirty years of doer hunting
without a head to his credit,
J. A.. McKnight brought down two
young bucks with a single shot in
the Santee River swamp ten miles
southwest of Pinetfcood Monday morning.
Mr. McKnight was hunting with
a small party of Sumter men on land
t owned by Mr. Emory Clark when he
i performed ^this unusual feat. A
I bunch of>.five deer ran by his stand
and Mr. McKnight picked out one of
the bucks and fired a single shot.
After waiting .a minute or so he
walked over to where he had last
seen.Jhe buck and fpund him stretched
| out on the ground. While he was
examining this* deer a second buck
rolled down into the ravine badly
[ wounded. Mr. McKnight 'dispatched
| this one with his knife.
Upon examination he . found that
one of the deer had been struck in j
the neck and the other in the side.
One weighed about 150 pounds and
the other slightly less than a hundred
pounds.?Tuesday's Sumter Item.

STRAIGHTEN RIVER
TO FIX BOUNDARY
* > ' '
U. S. and Mexico to Curb Er
ratic Rio Grande.
Washington. One of the most Important
root I Orations over contemplated
In a boundary hot worn the United
States and a neighboring country, Ih
arranged for In a convention recently
signed In Mexico pity which provides
for the straightening of the Itlo Grande
for 87 miles below Kl Paso, Texas.
The convention must be ratified by the
senates of the United States and Mexico,
and agreements must he made In
regard to engineering details.
"The problem along the Itlo Grande
Is a common one with rivers In all
parts of the world that run through
arid regions," says a bulletin from the
National Geographic society, "Very
light alluvial soil gathers In a wide,
level flood plain; Hoods come suddenly
beeause of the quick run off from
the hare mountains and hills; and the
swirling waters Cut new channels
through the easily yielding soil with
almost every major rise.
"For ages the Itlo Grande wandered
at will across the broad valley that
lies Just above IC1 Paso, as well as over
the equally wide valley that lies below
the city. A careful observer driving
over the valleys can see almost obliterated
channels of the past far from
the present river. Maps since 1850,
when the earliest American surveys
were made, show a confusing maze of
; looping and Intersecting lines that represent
the dim ghosts of Itlo Grandes
of 25, 50, 75 and SO years ago.
Jumbled Property Titles.
"As the Itlo Grande has been the
boundary since 1850 between Texas
and New Mexico, and sln'te 1835 between
'Jj'exas undXJId Mexico, the wanderings
of the rivet* In the two valleys
near Kl Paso have caused constant Inter-governmental
disputes and hnve
played havoc with property titles. In
the upper valley, the problems have
been domestic. Innumerable lawsuits
between property owners sprang from
the erratic river changes.
"Finally the states of New Mexico
and Texas became Involved and took
the whole tangled matter to the United
States Supreme court. It was not until
that tribunal handed down Its decision
in 1028 that numerous residents in El
Paso's upper valley knew what state
they were living In. For many miles
the boundary fixed by the court does
not follow the Itlo Grande of today,
but lies a considerable distance to the
west along what hqs been determined
to be the river bed of 1850.\
"Straightening out the Jumbled boundary
situation below El Paso has been
n much more difficult task because two
nations are Involved. There have been
numerous treaties; but the temperamental
Itlo Grande has frequently created
situations that existing trenties
could not quite be made to cover. The
most stubborn problem of all has been
the so-called Clmmlzal dispute, whoreby
Mexico claims a valuable slice of
the city of El Paso, asserting that the
true international boundary is along
un old bed north the present river
location. The Chatnlzal zone is not
considered In the recently signed convention,
bift is left for special consideration
at another time.
River Wandera Around.
"Enst of El Pasp the Rio Grande
meanders over the almost level valley,
forming numerous loops, great and
-.small. When extraordinary flood#
^ome, the river Is almost sure to make
a short cut across one or more of
these loops. The patches of land left
in the loops by the formation of a new*
river bed are called 'hancos.' When
a banco Is formed, It Is. of course,
shifted to the other side of the river.
Thus bits of Texas have In effect been
tossed suddenly into Mexico; and fragments
of-Mexico, into Texas.
"If barrens are very small the.v become
a part of tire country to which
they afe shifted. Rut if Ihc.v are large,
the International boundary continues
to follow the old stream bed. A striking
example of large areas cut off by
river changes is found 25 miles east of
El Paso near Fahens. Texas?an area
considerable enough to he seen on
large sonic maps of the United Si.it
One can cross the bridge that spans
the Rio Grande, drive a mile or more
south, and still find himself In the
United States. The international boundary
there Is a half-obliterated little
grass grown dale that many years ago
was the bed of the river.
"The convention signed by the United
States and Mexico calls for the tirst
tin*' for the deliberate creation of hancos.
The plan is to eliminate the many
kinks of the river by digging an artlfielal
channel where ni?ces?ary to I
smooth the stream out into a series of j
long, eas.\ curves. Approximately the I
same area in hancos will be left or
each side of the new channel. These
will become the property of the country
j)n whose side they lie. The new
channel will he adopted as the Inter
national' boundary and will he 'pegged
down' hy engineering works including
levees rfprapped hanks and protected
curves. Such works are practicable
now where they would not have been
qjfcenei'Ht Ion ago. Floods have been
mitigated somewhat by the hoilding of
Elephant Ruffe dain which creates a
huge lint>ounding reservoir for the Rio.

The modern method
Those "Good Old Days"
Eleven glasses In 20 minutes
flJTTANDERIN'G through an old coTT
lonlal house on my vacation recently,
I stood before the open tireplace
in the kitchen wondering
about the woman who had done her
cooking there. Prepared not only
the daily meals but stirred great
batches of Jelly over that open fire
and waited tedious hours for the
contents of the pot to boil down
to the proper consistency. And
even after that had no assurance
that the Jelly would "Jell."
What a long way we've come?
we modern women who make Jams
and Jellies In twenty to thirty minutes?from
the lady who lived in
that house. Think of her when
you turn on your gas or electric
stove or light your oil burner to
cook your final batch of Jelly and
Jam this season. Think of her
when you measure that magical
nbstance, bottled fruit pectin, into
your preserving kettle and, after
%two or three minutes of boiling,
turn a gleaming, flavor some hatch
of jelly or jam into freshly scalded
glasses. "And again when you use
snch simple recipes as these which
absolutely assure the success of
your jelly U you follow thein accurately.
