Columbia, Nov. 17.?Ira Harrison, who had been in an alleged stupor until Wednesday afternoon at the penitentiary from the date of the refusal of tlhe supreme court to grant him a new trial, was yesterday talking, eating and smoking as if nothing had ever happened to him. Harrison has been in the penitentiary since he was convicted along with Frank M. Jeffords and Glenn Treece for tihe murder of John C. Arnette. When the supreme court two weeks ago dismissed the appeal of Harrison he went into an alleged stupor, not eating except when fed and not talking. Preliminary preparations for an appeal to the United States supreme court were made last Saturday by Harrison's attorney and this prevent - * TT "K ed tne pOSSlDliliy OI narrisuu a UCing resentenced. Wednesday, shortly after noon, Harrison came out of 'his stupor and talked freely with his mother. Yesterday several city desectives visited him at the penitentiary hospital and he talked, ate and smoked. What Hogan Said. There had been a row in the works 1 and two men were discussing it. ! I "And what did Hogan say when I Kelly called him a liar?" said one. "Nothing much." 'Why, that's funny," said the first, "Hogan used to be a mighty hot-tem-1 pered fellow." "Well, he never said a word, except, 'Have ye had enough?" Call for Action in Buying Poison To the Editor of The Herald: I notice the following in the Augusta Chronicle of November 17 from John W. Hammond: "The question of obtaining calcuim arsenate in sufficient quantity to meet the demands of the cotton farmers of the state for the next crop is becoming quite a serious one. Some concern is being felt here over the information that a meeting of the delta cotton planters and dealers has just been held in Mississippi for the pur+ Atiwrr f O 011Y\Tl1\7 "TAT* PUOC J. ^unii xui c*. i. w I that section, largely in excess of the consumption by the last year's crop, I and in view of the alleged shortage of i white arsenate there is an anxiety as to whether or not it is going to be possible to abtain a sufficient quantity later, at any price, to meet the needs in Georgia. When the 9tate board of entomology met recently to go into the matter of making a contract for a bulk supply for 1923, it was found that the lowest'offer was in excess of twice the price paid last' year for the same goods." We see Mississippi and Georgia arej actively in the market to obtain aj supply of calcium arsenate for the! planters of their states. We notej that the supply is Short, prices much | higher, and as the demand increases it is natural for the price to advance. Mississippi and Georgia are acting. What is being done to take care of the cotton crop of South Carolina? If anything has been done to secure a supply of calicum arsenate for South Carolina farmers I have not! 1 heard of it. Whose duty is it to act? j Georgia has her state board of en-1 tomologv and South Carolina has, i tor> Vmt T Vio-irp nnf Vipnrvi nf its t ak-' * ^w w "vv ~ ~ ~ I ing any action in thi9 matter. Some j one ought to act. Maybe it is the busi-! ness of Clemson college?T do not! know?but I do know that something ought to be done at once. If we wait until the supply is contracted for by other states or until prices advance out of reach, then the planters of South Carolina had better plant no cotton at all, for without calcium arsenate, with which to combat the boll weevil, we can't make cotton with any degree of success. What is the American Cotton association doing, especially the South Carolina division? It ought to sound the alarm and compel action, either of the proper officials of the state or get the farmers together and arrange to protect South Carolina's cotton crop of 1923. Something ought to be; done at once or it will be too late; and to lose our cotton crop would be a disaster to the state. Again, I notice that tlhere arej concoctions of various kinds being ad- j vertised to kill the boll weevil. Some! .good I suppose, some worthless. Un-' less something is done to protect ouri farmers in this matter, numbers are! going to be imposed upon and robbed, j If we haven't such a law, and I don't! think we have, sufficient pressure! ought to be used on next session of j the legislature to pass a law requir-l ing every preparation to be analyzed j J XT M J X - J ?

It looks to me that in a matter of much importance the government j ought to step in and prevent exces-i sive prices on calcium arsenate. The cotton crop of the South is of too much importance to our country atj large to allow the producers to be j profiteered. The manufacturers ofj calcium arsenate ought to be allowed: i the cost of production plus a fair j profit; if they are not satisfied with! this then let the government com-j mandeer the whole business and sell it to the farmers at the cost of production. "Let's get busy at once or wre will find ourselves without calcium arsenate with which to fight the boll weevil. R. M. MIXSON. Williston. Easy Matter.

The conference! did not confine itself to merely utter I ing encouragamg words, Dut outlined j a definite and clear cut program for | the cotton growers, which it held, if i followed, will prove profitable. The | recommendations adopted are given | in full elsewhere. Over and over again was the advice "Destroy your old cotton stalks the moment the crop is harvested," sounded; so that recommendation very properly headed the list of those adopted. Another important point stressed time and again by the speakers were thorough preparation, sufficient fertilization, and the use of good varieties of seed. "Get your crop made before you give the weevil a chance to get in his work," was the sentiment. The need of haste too was stressed. Conference Well Attended. The conference was opened by Governor Harvey, who in a few words, f P f A A A wi IV I V* A A AW fv A 1 A ^ ^ Vl A I IU1U UI LUC ucai lilg LUC 1'UUliUi Ui LUC I boll weevil has on the prosperity of South Carolina, an'd said unity of action among the cotton growers was a prime necessity of combating the ! weevil. He read letters from Senator N. B. Dial, Bright Williamson, Niels Christensen, J. O. Sheppard and J. S. Wannamaker in which the writers expressed their interest in the conference and commented on the cotton situation. A list of those present was then compiled, and A. F. Lever was elected chairman and Henry Johnson of Aiken was elected secretary. NOTICE OF SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
