Service Telephone 140 i Pick Dry Cotton Advises Bankers Columbia, Sept. 7.?-South Carolina farmers can disregard sound practice and pick their cotton without wait ing for It to dry out after the heavy rains only ut u cost of around $20 a bale, W. K. Martin, secretary of the Boutli Carolina Hankers Association, warns in a statement issued today. An "amusing" percentage of rough, gin-cut cotton, Mr. Martin suid, had uiready been put on the market with a resulting loss of around $20 a bale to the farmers. South Carolina cotton normally brings a premium on account of its superior staple, but this can be more than offset by attempts to gin the cotton while still wet, Mr. Martin pointed out. "The wot weather of the last couple of weeks, the bankers association secretary declared, "has given almost no opportunity to pick, but apparently too many farmers have gone ahead with their picking. The old kerosene method lias kept the saws clear, but it lias not kept tip) cotton from ginning out rough or saw cut. Reports from several markets stule that it is difficult to obtain bids on this rough cotton as many buyers have positive instructions not to buy a bale of it regardless of price. Where bids have been obtained they run from Gc to He per pound. As this type of cotton Is not elegible for the Government 10c loan, u farmer has no alternative but to sell for what it will bring. (Low Middling is the lowest grade acceptable)". Mr. Murtln suid that the agricultural committee of the Hankers Association, working to obtain better prices for farm products, urged glnners, buyers and everyone who came in contact with the farmers to caution them not to pick their cotton until it hud thoroughly dried. "South Carolina cotton normally brings a premium because of It8~~superlor character and staple, but, he warned, "unless farmers use Judgment in the matter of pickiug, this year's crop will not bring much of a price."

HILTON BOY CASE AGAIN j Another Attempt to Take Him From Lees le In Circuit Court. Whether the li. M. Lee'a of .Fort; Mill township, shall keep the young son of Cftptain Richmond H. Hilton, placed with them by the father before he died, and confirmed to them by Judge Dennis nearly two years ago, in uk a in In court, for a repetition of the hearing in the court room here in November, 1933. That time, It wan the mother of the boy who wan refused the right to take him from the I^ees, and thin time it is Home cousins who seek him, via a writ of habeuH corpus. ' Judgo Gaston haa laaued the writ,; returnable at Laucuster, before Judge John a on, on Hepteinbor 18, a week from tomorrow, on the petition of C. How Kutledge, guardian of the child's property, principally insurance money to a considerable amount, und a connin of the child's father. The petition Is accompanied by affidavits, and is countered by affidavit by the Lees and others. Ihitledge alleges in his petition, and accompanying affidavit, that the Lees are not lit persons to rear the child,, that lie is being trained to be shy and self centered, to an extent that is not proper training of hit* mentality, and that he will grow up without proper uftectlou for his cousins und his aunts from not being permitted to see them. To tliis the Lee affidavits reply, that lie is only being trained to associate with company fit for him, thut he is not shy, but companionable. That ho made the grade of excellent in school last year and was on the honor roll for tiie outire year. Also, that the relatives in Lancaster county have visited him very seldom, although invited to do so frequently. An. affidavit from the boy's grandmother says that the boy is not being properly reared, and the affidavit by the Lees says her attitude toward the "boy repels him, and that she has said lie is only one of her grandchildren? with an implication that grandmothers never do agree with even mothers about how children should be treated and reared. The Hilton family affidavits all stress, that when they visit the boy, Mr. or Mrs. Jam .keeps near by and close watch on them. And the Lees retort, that siiu:?* the boy was practieally kidnaped from them a couple of years ago by his father's kin, they teel that they must take measures to prevent another similar occurrence. The most picturesque part of the tile of affidavits of both sides concents a visit paid lo Richmond li. Hilton, Jr., by another little boy, a second cousin, at the Lee home. The fond mother of the visiting little hoy avers and swears, that the boy for whom the battle still wages, lias become so shy and spiritually deformed, through the Leo training, that he would not play in the yard with her own son of about the same age. Mr. and Mrs. lam, in their joint affidavit. say that the two boys played together on the front porch actively ami in all friendliness, until the visiting little boy produced a big cigar, put it in his mouth, and proceeded to gi\o a demonstration of how to smoke. Another section of the Rutledge petition to the court says that a sistei tii thi* plaint iff, like him a cousin of the boy's father, will take care of the hoy in her home for $ir> a month, while the Lees are being paid $2."> a mom h. The answer to this by the Lees is, : that th<' $2.. a month to he paid them was fixed by the judge of probate. I he affidavit of the petitioners sister, however fines nnt make a binding offer to accept tiie $i.? n month permanently. but says she believes that amount is enough for the service. .J he petition lur "habeas corpus is hacked by ;i number of affidavits from kintoiks, corroborating what Kutledge himself says in his own affidavit. The Lees have filed not only their own affidavit, denying all the principal allegations in the petition as being taise but have obtained, and are1 getting, affidavits from a number of persons in York county bearing on their fitness to rear a boy. Captain Hilton was accidentally drowned near Columbia, his home, after he had placed his little son with the Lees. After his death, there were hearings in the probate court, both here in Yorkville, and in Columbia which developed that the Columbia end had been swifter and obtained jurisdiction there, in the Richland county probate court over the child Then, without opposition, Kutledge was made guardian of the child'f property, and the boy remained with the Lees. Next was the eruption when the boy s mother, after a long absence, came down from New York city and tried to get the child from the Lees In court, after the I^incas ter county faction lias carried the boy away, while the Loos had him visiting them there. The hearing of the niothorp petition In the circuit court here, before Judge Dennis, was a sensational one, in both its ovidsnc* submitted, and the arguments of the attorneys, the lawyer for the mother being the late Thomas F. Boy Drowns At Chesterfield Chesterfield, Sept. 7.? Searching parties recovered the body of Bernard Kneece, 11, Wednesday, a half mile below the place in a creek east of town where he was drowned Tuesday. Bernard, the son of Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Kneece, went swimming with Joe Mackey at a swimming hole near here. Young Mackey said that his friend dived in the creek which was swollen by rains and had a swift current. He struggled for a few seconds and then sank from sight. Groups of friends, neighbors and 25 CCC boys searched the creek all night and until 1:30 Wednesday afternoon. The body was found by Carl Stogner, Ruby, and Acy Davis, Chesterfield, about one-half mile below the point where the boy was last seen. Mayor R. E. L. Chancey has been re-elected mayor of Tampa, Fla., over former Mayor D. B. McKay, with the election precints being guarded by national guardsmen. McDow. Judge Dennis decided very emphatically for the Lees, and the matter was thought to be settled? and now comes this action to do it all over again.?Yorkville Enquirer.
