I). S. NEEDS CASTOR OIL FARMERS ARE l:HGEI> TO GROW THE RE AX THAT PRODUCES IT. For Lubricating Airsliips.?Revival of Industry in tliis State Will be Patriotic and Profitable. Washington, Jan. 10?An emergency has arisen. ,The government will require larg? quantities of castor oil for lubricating the airplane engines. The supply is short and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida are going to be caled upon to grow castor beans for the government, and for which the government will pay prices which they believe will make it a more profitable crop than any other staple grown in that section. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in conducting experiments for finding an oil for lubricating the liberty motors, other than castor oil; but these experi-j ments have been in vain, and the only oil that will flow under the atmospheric conditions and temperature conditions met with by these machines is castor oil. Situation Different Now. . 'J * . In this country years ago castor oil was grown quite extensively and the leading States were Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri; but India, with labor which could be hired at " ten and twenty cents a day, furnished this oil so cheaply that the in dustry practically died out. The submarine has taken its toll and. greatly reduced the world's shipping facilities, and now the industry must be revived, and in those sections where there will be no danger from frost and in the sections where they have long growing seasons; and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida are expected to meet the emergency. Mr. T. S. Evans, assistant development agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, with offices at Hamlet, N. C., has been given a contract to secure the planting of 10,000 acres to castor beans, and the farmers of South Carolina and Georgia are expected to grow anywhere from five to 100 acres or more q , for him. The government is going to furnish the seed at exact cost to the government, .plus the cost of transportation; but they , are not to be paid for until after the crop is grown, and from the crop. Mr. Evans will be authorized to pay to any farmer who will grow these beans $3 per bushel for his entire crop, . delivered at the nearest railroad . station. Easy to Grow. Those who have grown castor beans say it is one oL the easiest crops produced. There is no insect pest which is known to attack it. Animals and live stock will not eat : Ilk- ^ A nr\r% oieto rtf PArfv-OlY A UUOXiC/i VUUOlOCO VI. IVI VJ pounds and the price paid will be better than 6 1-4 cents per pound, and in times past they hare been profitably grown at three cents a - pound. Any farmer desiring to secure >: * seed and grow this crop under a contract in South Carolina or Georgia will be expected to address Mr. T. S. Evans, at Hamlet, N. C. It is not only a patriotic duty to grow these beans, but it is profitable as well, and it is helping to win . the war. Posters will be furnished to all farmers growing this crop, which they can post on their farms, '.showing that they are "doing their bit" towards helping win the war. ^ NO WARNING GIVEN. Hospital Ship Goes Down by Torpedo.?All Patients Rescued. r--V Bristol, England, Jan. 9.?The hospital ship Rewa was torpedoed without warning an hour before midnight, January 4, and sank within an hour. According to custom the Vessel was lighted up after dark Friday evening so there could be no possibility of submarines mistaking her idenitity. The torpedo struck the vessel with a terrific crash and was so effective that there was no chance of saving her. Over fifty-five persons were on board, including thirty bed-ridden, and a number of soldiers suffering from malaria. The lights of the hospital ship were put out by the force of the explcs'on and the wounded and sick had to grope about in the dark for their clothing. All the patients, the ship's staff and the members of the crew, with the exception of three, who were kilied by the explosion, were safely rescued from the boats and rafts. The rescued men were two hours adrift before they were picked up. Slates and slate pencils at The Herald Book Store. Save paper by using a slate. ASYLUM FOIl FEEBLE MINDED. Senate and' House Vote $00,000 to Build InnstitutioR. Columbia, Jan. 10.?It now appears certain that South Carolina will soon have an institution for its feeble minded, the senate having voted tonight for the passage of a bill carrying an appropriation of $60,000 for the purpose. The measure has already been passed by the house. At the night session of the senate a concurrent resolution was adopted inviting Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane to visit Columbia and address the general assembly nn the national issues of the dav. Senate Appointments. Lieutenant Governor A. J. Bethea announced the following appointments: Secretary to the president, Miss Nell P. deTreville; assistant clerk, W. Symmes; journal clerk, Harold C. Booker; bill clerk, J. B. Kilgo; keeper of committee rooms, C. Roger Wells; pages, Louis J. Bristow, Jr., and R. Pike Berry; doorkeepers, T. A. Scott, T. M. Creech and Hamp Napier; porters, Alfred Nance, John Jackson and Lewis Hickson; postmaster, J. B. McCreight; assistant postmaster, J. P. Dugan. High compliment was paid R. Beverly Sloan, who declined reappointment as assistant clerk. The house bill by Messrs. Hamblin and Moore to require cotton and knitting mills and manufacturing ' plants to install sanitary sewerage systems for their employees was received in the senate after passage by the house. Quart-a-MonHi Law. Among the new bills was one by Senator DuRant, ihanging the quarta-month law so that the certificate of the probate judge can only be granted upon a prescription of a physician. No other change is propos- 1 ed. v The bill to establish an institution ! for the feeble minded was opposed . by Senator Shelor. Senator Sherard, as sponsor for the bill, eloquently plead for its passage. Senator Padgett wanted to know why colored patients were excluded. Mr. Sherard explained that the only reason was because a beginning was being suggested on a small scale. The bill carried an appropriation of $60,000 and the erection of a plant on State prop- . erty at the State hospital for the in- j sane. ] The senate, after much legal discussion, declined to change the law j as to right of dower. THREATENS MORE WAR. Lenine Says Genual is Must Accept Their Terms or Fight. London, Jan. 11.?Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki premier, although he has possibly gone on a holiday to Finland, also possibly may go to Stockholm to confer with German and Austrian socialists, the Petrograd correspondent of the Daily News says. In a speech before his depar ture from Petrograd Premier Lenine said: "I fear we shall have to stop the demobilization and prepare for -war. If Germany and her allies do not accept our conditions of peace we will declare a revolutionary war on them." The correspondent emphasizes the importance of an agreement between the Bolsheviki and Ukranian negotiators as the position of the Rada has lessened Trotzky's chances of obtaining a satisfactory peace. He says that if the Germans should buy off the Ukraine, the significance within Germany of Trotzky's stand would be cut in half. The correspondent adds that nothing is more foolish than to suppose that because the Ukraine opposes the Bolsheviki it i therefore favors thfe allies and pros| ecution of the war. A Backwoods Croesus. Wealth is variously estimated in different parts of the country. "Bud" Bowers had grown to manhood in one of the most inaccessible communities in Southern Missouri. Wearying at last of the monotony of his life, he grew eager to leave the hills. His tatner, wno was a numer auu napper of much local renown, stoutly opposed him. "But what chanct has a young fella got to git ahead here, I'd like to know?" gloomily demanded "Bud." "What chanct!" ejaculated his father. "Why, just look at me, son.
