During Funeral
l.auiens, June 12. Today shortly
after the noon hour, as the funeru
services of the late Capt. Joseph B
Humbert were h dug concluded a
Mount Bethel chun h ?he late home ol
Captain Humbert w.i; totally destroy
< d by fire.
This singular and distressing inci
dent took place just about the tim<
the benediction at the graveside w:?;
l-eing pronounced, and hundreds ol
people at the funeral hurried to thi
tire, two miles distant, and many ol
them assisted in removing the furnish
ings fiom the dwelling. Miss I.udii
Taylor, a near neighbor who was no
well ( nough to attend the funeral
hurried to the Humbert home upo:
seeing the volumes of black smoke is
suing from the house and, finding lh<
doors locked, she seized a farm too
with which she broke open the fron
door ard directed several negro fai n
hands and servants who had assem
bled to begin the removal of the fur
niture.
The lire broke out, it seems, in tin
roof of the kitchen on the east side o
the dwelling and as the wind wa
blowing from the west the resell'
workers had time to save much of tin
household furn ishings.
Th home of Cantain Humbert wa:
one or the most substantial and com
modions country residences i.i th
county and, although it had been re
modeled from time to time, it retainei
its old colonial effect and beauty.
The funeral was attended by j
t?reat ^atherini; from the surround
inj? countryside and many visitor:
from various points in the state, in
cludinir flreenville, Spartanburg, An
derson. Williamston, Honea Path am
lijjurens. The services were led b;
the pastor the Rev. Mr. llarley, whi
was a isted by the Rev. J. K. Ma
baffey of Honea Path and the Rev
A. K. Holler, presiding elder of tin
Anderson circuit.
In addition to the regular churcl
service, a full sketch of the life o
Captain Humbert, prepared by Capt
William 1). Sullivan, a brother-in

Republicans Lead (
Fight For Ford
*
Washington, June 12.?Democrats
.11 tht house, who are advocating the i
acceptance of the Henry Ford offer i
for Muscle Shoals, concluded tonight \
to leave to pro-Ford Republicans the <
task of securing early action on this ,
important Southern subject. ?
They argued thut if success is to
be scored it must result from Republican
leadership, as Democratic aggression
would inspire belief on the
part of some that the issue was political.
It is their understanding that considerable
Republican element, despite
the antipathy of Republicans to
Southern developments at govern:
nient expense, and their antipathy to
| Ford, the individual, are amendable to
the American farm bureau federation.
| That organization is already prodI
ding the Republicans and reminding
them that in this election year, when
Republican prospects are not too
good, the farmers will certainly exert
themselves to defeat their enemies
I at the polls.
The pro-Ford Republicans, it is
I understood, have already undertaken
I to secure from the rules committee
j a rule giving preference to the Muscle
I Shoals proposition. Unless such rule
I is obtained, it is regarded as doubtful
that Muscle Shouls partisans could
i make headway against the Republican
machine. The Democrats, who
, are actively behind the pro-Ford Rei
publicans, are representatives of all
I! Southern states. The solid Southern
| vote will be cast for Ford. There
'will not be a single defection, it is
. indicated. H. W. R.

Springs & Co. Letter
New York, June 8, 1922.
Eventually cotton will sell above cur.
rent levels, but the crop is now entering
the one month when conditions are
j. most likely to be very favorable for
the growth of the plant. June is a
hard month on price campaigns. For
( that reason We cannot suggest th
purchase of cotton (except on pre
nouneed reactions) with the confidence
we recommended that the staple be
bought before it crossed 18 cents five
I or six weeks ago.
The market is likely to be very erratic
this next fe\tf weeks. The June
and July condition reports will exert
much influence on prices. The rcopening
of mills in the strike district
is being watched closely and it is yel
(. too early to determine the success of
the move. We believe the strike is in
^ its final stages, whether the mills succeed
in resuming work at the old
scale or find it impossible to carry
on and give in to the men. Thre weeks
ago we suggested the strike
would be over in 30 days. This must
be remembered: Whether the men
j win or the mills are victors, the cotton
market is concerned with the question
t of consumption and the renewal of activitv
nip?n? incrpnspd cnnaiimi.f
If there is anything in precedent the
October contract should prove a profitable
purchase after the issuance of
j the Jane condition report?for a turn
until after the July condition report is
issued. In nine of the last ten year.,
the July report has shown an increase
in condition as contrasted with the
June condition report. In six of these
nine years, however, the market has
^ been higher after the July report
j. showed the improvement in Condition.
The exceptions were 1914 when a 5.11
condition increase was accompanitd
, by a loss for the month in the October
I contract of (JG points; and 1920 and
1921. The answer appears to be that,
j the market followed trade reports
rather than crop estimates and that
therefore we should pay more attenr
tion just now to the steadily widening
outlook for the cotton trade. In
1920 and 1921 we were in periods of
' deflation, and uncertainty?1921.
Then, the improved condition of the
crop had its logical influence on prices.
But in other years the outlook for consumption
improved during the month
and more than offset the probability
of an increased yield.
Our advice would be to go slowly
i n cotton commitments, buying care
fully on recessions and averag
ing down if the reactions car
ry full her than first indications suggest.
Trading profits should be taken
and one's views may well be moderate,
as it is probable that several turns wil'
le possible before the market resume;
its upward movement.

Growing Excited
Richmond, Va., June 12.?Excitement
is running high and much bitter ina
talk is being indulged in I.ouisa coun- ^
ty as the result of the actions of one
jf two socalled factions in applying a eVl
coat of tar and feathers to a man, ne
said to be a member of the opposing m<
faction, and the alleged retaliatory ^
tactics of the latter in an apparent R<*
attempt on the life and the destruction
of the property of a minister, ,n
who, some seem to have gained the
impression, had in some way instigat- ?'
ed the tarring and feathering. ^
Thursday night a party " f masked no
men visited the home of Herbert 8U
Buckley at Pendleton, near Mineral, ^
and took him to the woods, where pe
they applied a coat of tar and feath
ers. Prior to this he was given a g
thrashing. p<
Another party, believed tlo be j
friends of Buckley, on the succeeding
night paid a visit to the home of the g
Rev. J R. Glenn and fired several -p.
charges from shotguns into the house, J.
several narrowly missing the min- W
ister. In the party, according to Mr. H
Glenn, were two white men and two J.
negroes. R(
Mr. Glenn is said to have positive- Si
identified the white men as Buckley Si
and C. E. Via. Buckley is in jail C.
with the two negroes, William Hughes
and Jim West. Via is out on $2,000 z?
E
bail with a preliminary hearing set '
for next Tuesday. Commonwealth's
Attorney W. C. Bibb of Louisa county,
who is conducting an investiga- Z"
tion, is of the opinion that more than '
the four under arrest were implicated
in the attack on Mr. Glenn and efforts
are being made to round up others
believed to have been involved. z}

Parachute Jump ^
Makes New Record
D
Dayton, Ohio, June 12.?Capt. A. W. q
Stevens, aerial photographer, McCook q
field, established a new parachute g
jumping record today when he des- g
cended 24,206 feet to safety, officials p
of the field announced tonight. Anoth- jj
er record was broken at the same time jj
when Lieut.. Leigh Wade, piloted a j
twin motored Martin bomber carrying p
three passengers to an altitude of g
24,206 feet, it was announced. q
Captain Stevens ascended in the p
same plane with Lieutenant Wade. g
The pilot, accompanied by Stevens ^
and Sergeant Langham, observer, j
took off at 11 a. m. and reached the q
maximum altitude at 1:05 p. m., re- u
quiring two hours and five minutes to p
make the ciimb. ^
Stevens, who has made aerial photographs
here for several years, today g
made his first flight where oxygen ^
was necessary. Reaching the maxi- q
mum height, the party partook of re- p
freshments and Stevens made ready jj
for his leap. ^
When he left the plane he did not ^
permit his chute to be opened by the p
wind and then lift him off, but leaped ^
over the side and dropped several g
thousand feet before it opened and g
checked his drop. n
The oxygen tank which he had sewn ?
to his flying suit was torn off in the >p
icap anu lose. . j?
Thirty minutes were required for q
the descent. He left the plane while j.
over Springfied, and landed at James- q
town, a small village 25 miles south- g
east of here. U
Flying conditions were idea todav. a
The temperature on the ground was g
75 degrees and zero was reached at j
the maximum altitude. So strong was jj
the wind at 24:20G feet that the motor g
which was traveling at about 100 j
miles an hour only served to keep the g
ship upright and the wind forced it j
backwards at a speed of about 20
utiles an hour, Wade said upon his ^
descent. g

Youngest Woman to ^
Graduate at Bryn Mawr f
M
Bryn Mawr, Penn., June 12.? When L
Miss detrude Prokosch is graduated A
from Bryn Mawr College this month A
she will establish the record for the It
youngest girl to receive a diploma E;
from that educational institution for M
women. She will not be 19 until L<
August and is a daughter of Dr. Wed- F.
ward F,roknsch nrdfooani- nf normo ? rt
at Bryn Mawr. furthermore, she will J.
be fourth in her class. Her major I.
subjects are French and German. J,
Disillusionment awaits those who J.
think Miss Prokosch is a prodigy or D:
a grind." Aside from her scholastic W
achievement, which is in the way of W
completing the regular four year S.
course at Bryn Mawr in two, she has J.
made the highest streng'h test record Di
in the history of college, although she C.
is of very modest phyr.c: u proportions* W
Her record is 575, breaking the old S.
record of 565. The regula- college K.
strength system includes bar chinning J.
and other gymnastic stunts. H.
Miss Prokosch's athletic prowess A,
does not stop in the gymnasium. She E.
is a swimmer of considerable ability, L.
anil also has done some notable track Ti
work. But her real love in the way of T.
exercising is interpretive dancing. Ci
She expects to take this art up more T.
seriously with post graduate work in Mi
the University of Berlin. Another of J.
her hobbies is music. R.
Miss Prokosch was born in Chicago. ?Jn
She received much of her early educa- C.
tion in Austin, Texas, where her father
was a member of the faculty of the
University of Texas. Upon coming
to this city, she was compelled to take
c n trance examinations which #he
passed with no difficulty at all, and
then did considerable doubling up in '
her work. yoi
