Tolbert, staunch Republican, of Ninety-Six, came down to Columbia yesterday, full of challenges. He declared he had been elected state chairman of the Republican party in South Carolina and that his term did not expire until September ^0, 1934, and that any call for a Republican convention, issued by any other than his organization was "irregular and of no avail." Mr. Tolbert was talking about a call for a Republican state convention to be held in Sumter, August 7, issued over the signature* of I). A. Gardner and Miss Eizabeth Hearn, both of Orangeburg, the former as chairman, th'e latter as secretary, of state executive committee. Precinct meetings were called for i July 31 and county conventions for August 3, congressional, district conventions to be held in Sumter on the same day as the state convention. "All of them are irregular," he says. .And He gave out the following: "I notice people of South Carolina calling meetings or conventions in the name of the Republican party. We, in the name of the organized Republican party in each county and district, with the state executive committee, do hereby challenge their right to call any kind of convention in the name of the Republican party. "However, the Republican state executive committee will meet soon in Columbia to issue a call for a state convention at which all ..will be invited to participate. ' I make this statement in the name of the county chairman, district chairman and state chairman." Mr. Tolbert claims the other bratich of the party has no sort of authority to issue a call for a convention in the name of the Republican party.?rSaturday's State.

Growing Sunspots Seen Fatal to Grasshoppers Winnipeg.?Wholesale destruction of Insects and spectnculnr atmospheric disturbances during the next few years are predicted by amateur astronomers here. They base their prediction on the behavior of sun spots. Growing in size and Intensity, the spots are being studied carefully by the astronomers. They are approaching what is known as a maximum sunspot period, and as they grow larger they will begin to bring troubles and blessings In their wake, the astronomers claim. The maximum period will be In 1938 or 1930, according to A. B. Meggett, of Deer lodge, one of the astronomers participating in the study. During the i years leading up to that period, he ! says, the world may expect, among other things, a great Increase in rainjitorms and disruption of radio reception and telegraphic communication, and wholesale destruction of insects, inclnding grasshoppers. The sun-spot period comes every eleven years, Merget explains, and records kept since 1750 show that It has great Influence on conditions on the earth. There are marked changes In the umount of sunlight, mugnetlc conditions, temperature, rnlnfnll and atmospheric transparency, uffectlug all forms of life. Tomb Erected by Villa for Himself Still Empty Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico.? The ornate tomb which the late Fran-claco (Pancho) Villa ordered for himself In the old cemetery, Panteen de la Regla, remains empty. At the height of his career as Mexico's "strong man," Villa ordered the chapel built and expressed /'the wish to be burled there. ( Instead, his body lies in P^frahChihuahua, far from the spot he chose.

THE BIGGEST IN TIIB WORM) The Sues .canal, at the time of its inception, was the greatest undertaking of man to conform nature to his own desires. Unfortunately for Franco, Britain, by the diplomatic ingenuity of Disraeli, euchered France out of it. The French have great imagination but no people is more ill-starred in translating it into reality. The were the first to conceive not only the feasibility of the Sues and started to dig it; they were the first to undertake cutting the two continents .of North and South America in two. Came along Teddy and, circumventing Columbia, took over the 'Panama canal, said to be the biggest up to that time. These French had great dreams about Napoleon. At one time they missed making all Americans Frenchmen because the bushes were strong enough to hold Wolfe's army as it pulled its way up Abraham's Heights. They were to dig a canal down to the sea so that ocean-going vessels could dock at Paris. They proposed digging a tunnel under the English channel as a quick and easy connection with England. All to no purpose. Great imagination. None greater. Perhaps, none greater. There are the Russians. They have imagination. Plenjty of it, but until the present they never bad a chance to realise on it. What, could a Russian peasant d6 if he dreamed forever? He could seldom get beyond his blue blouse and a dreamy sleep on his stove during winter. But a Soviet Russian? That's different. Few Americans have heard about ftie Stalin canal, which is unquestionably "the biggest in the world." We seem to take delight in ignoring what Russia does, probably because we think Russians inferior. Ignorant. To-^be-pitied peasants. This Stalin canal connects the Baltic and the White Sea and was opened to navigation a year ago. Here in America we hear daily about the TVA and the Santee-Cooper and Buzzard Roost; abuot Duke power, Southern TJtilities and Rockefeller Foundation. We hear about the great dams being built out West. Named after our great .engineers and presidents. Speeches about them being the "biggest in history." The Panama canal is 44 miles long; the Suez, 94; but this real canal, this "Bielomorsky - Baltisky K a n a 1," stretches 155 miles. On the sites where were only swamps and century old virgin forests, plunged in deadly silence but for roaring waterfalls, are now begihning to tower giant hydro-electric plants, chemical factories and foundries, fisheries and paper mills and swarming cities. On the Onega-White sea stretch are 16 dams, 33 annex canals, 22 discharge basins, 19 locks, of which 13 are in hard rock -over 100 feet below sea level. The whole undertaking completed in It) months by the Russian engineer, Serge Xyk, without any foreign aid and with Russian material only. The Suez required ten years; the Panama, 20. This waterway eliminates the enormous detour around Finland, Sweden and Norway, reduces the distance between Leningrad and Archangel by three-quarters and enables Russian ships to navigate all the distance through Russian territory at the same time opening up the rich resources of this yet unexplored north-1 western portion of the Russian arctic: furs, coal, Ores, naptha, lumber, minerals of nearly every description. Perhaps, after all, we are not the only people who have imagination. Not the only people who can do things.?Columbia State. Millard Hickman, -54, a marine engineer, was? acquitted by a jury at San Francisco on a charge of having murdered I^ouise Jcppesen, of Ogdcn, Utah. The trial lasted about ten days. The federal bureau of agricultural economics at Washington estimates that the 1934 world wheat crop will be 400,000,000 bushels less than that of 1933. Ten bomber airplanes of the United States army landed at Fairbanks, Alaska, Tuesday, after a 4,000 mile flight across the United States and Canada from Washington.
