'edited In this paper. and also - ?sa?! ??? ?? , _ 5 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1922. < Joel Townsend, successful farmer of the Cokesbury section, Greenwood county, claims to have produced this year seven bales of cotton on six acres of land. He did this, he says without boll weevil poisoning:, and with only 300 pounds of fertilize*. He attributes his success to the face that tb . cotton land had been planted in crimson clover for the past four years. He used 200 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda. The further fact in this ca->e was that the tract is sway from waste land and brush that harbor boll weeil. There is plenty of food for thought in the above. Mr. L. L. Wagnon recently made a trip by automobile over Into Georgia. He was journeying to the scenes of his boyhood days, and, incidentally, took notice of certain very striking ; facte. Mr. Wagnon said one thing 1 that struck him very forcibly was t'lf 1 absence, for long stretches, of any cotton fields. This, too, in sections where cotton used to hold full reign. 1 Great fields of corn, forage crops, peaches, and pecans greeted the eye. He saw, in the section around Maco l 1 a large number of saw mills. Eveiy stick of timber is being cut up and used for one or another purpose. He I said that in Macon, alone, he thought there must be at least one thousand residences in process of construction. 1 Now that the cotton crop will soon be gathered it is time to begin plan- < ning the destruction of the cotton stalks. Those who destroyed the old stalks last year had a much lighter ( ask in fighting the boll weevil than , ' -did those who neglected to do so. Most people now believe the boll weevil has come. There were many last 1 year who doubted his coming. The weevil has demonstrated his existence beyond all doubt. When the stalks are destroyed it should be by disk harrow; the stalks should be thoroughly plowed under. Even were there no boll weevil it would be a good thing to destroy the stalks, piow un der, and while plowing urdei the i stalks why not plow in oats or whear ( or some cover crop? FREE SCHOOL BOOKS. i It having been conceded that every child in America is entitled to at least a common school education, the t editor of the Beaufort Gazette comes forward with the excellent suggestion that books be furnished pupils frc:- I of charge. Against that proposal, ^ we believe, no sound argument can be advanced. By eliminating commit sions and buying in bulk, the prices of school books, which advanced around 50 per cent on the recent adoption, could be materially lowered. \s the Beaufort paper points out, in a time of financial distress such as a we are experiencing at present, the purchase of school books so diminishes their scant funds that many Y families are obliged to deny themselves of the actual necessaries of life. ( The Gazette's article follows: The school opening brings back to our attention the fact that this is oi-e of the most essential points in the ^ rearing of young Americans. TheTc " should and ought to be a means t whereby every one should be al.r.wed s the privilege of attending school -md ( feel free to have the use of books h without making themselves the ob- j ject of charity. After a chiM has reached the point of advancement from the lowest grades the price of entering school each year advances, e ordinarily the average cost of these d books can be met, but there are some n of the necessities at such a time m ^ o order to make the outlay. It is true n that if this matter should be brought 1 to the attention of those Tn authority n means will be provided for the c?pendlttire for the particular case th?t ? should percentage be brougnt to light, but these same men in this position f cannot perform the impossible, there o must be some that pre overlooked. * ? A small county school tax would , scarcely be felt that would enable ^ the school to furnish free use of books f ; t * o the pabttc from jrwv to ytar, ai.d I o all alike. Then there would be no ccepting of charit/, the book* W > i?*l m the psupaHy if the eehoel atnl ised only eo Mftf ab they tut, tMh a the erul would prove, an even larger 1 aving, thereby enabling the eotiaty to ' iuy at wholeaale, where the pupils are ( iow buying at retail. I We would like to have a free dl3- i ussion on this matter and get those 1 lirectly concerned in the matter to ' itart action, there would be no neeJ ( o wait for others to begin, we can , itart an argument all to ourselves, as I ve feel sure that those directly in 1 harge would welcome such an innovation in conditions as they now cxst, should means be provided for tilth a ft?On mdona nf Aitiinofttim nil Saluda Standard. yjtt^ Our cat says people should not be always on the lookout for slights if they would avoid having their feelings hurt.

Fohn D. Rockefeller Gives Medical School to London London, Oct. 6.?Through the genrosity of John D. Rockefeller, Lonon is soon to have one of the finest ledical schools in the world. Work as already begun on the first part f the building program, on which (lore than $1,000,000 is to be spent., 'his includes provision for a new urses' home for the University Col >ge Hospital, an obstetric building f six stories, and an enlargement of ' he medical school. Houses in University Street and luntley Street are shortly to be pulld down in order to make room for his large scheme. Later an openlir ward for septic cases and furher research laboratories are to be uilt. The project will reach comrietion some time in 1926. 4 Cuz bu AinoDomott* Colony Sold to bo Rant With PUrtnilum EkaUrinMfg, Russia, Oct. 6.-? difficulties and dissent ions have charicterited the Starting of the "Kubaz Autonomous Commune," the Amerl:an and hypenated American colony jeytmd the Urals, according to aas* sers of the community who have made heir way back to this city. Hundreds of men from the United States went to the colony to work in the mines which, it is said, the Soviet arovernment alloted to William E. Haywood, the American I. W. W. leader, and a number of Russian and American associates. Now some of them are beginning to come out, and they bring tales of the turmoil which they say obtains at the two toWns where the colonists have settled. Both at Kamerovo, where the coal fields are located, and at Nadajenskl, where the steel works are, there is nothing but confusion, say the men who have quit. Some hitch has developed as to the concession, they declare, as a result of which the promised activity in production has been turned irtto wrangling and jealousies. The leaders of the Kuzbaz colony are striving to hold their men together, and say they hope for actual production this winter. But, according to those who have succeeded in leaving the colony, most of the remaining members would be glad to get away and back to the United States if they had a chance to do so. Many of them, however, are without money. According to one recent arrival here, the first group, composed of 39 persons, left the United States in March. Another of 78 persons left in April, and three groups, totalling in all about 500 men, women and children, had arrived up to September 1. Some of these were sent to Nadajenski, others to Kamerovo. One member of a group which left New York May 13 on the S. S. Rotterdam said the trip was a continual row from the Statue of Liberty to the Urals. The practical engineers and mechanics, who came largely for the adventure and possible fortune of the thing:, found their companions mostly radicals, more interested in arguments on politics than in real work. "The whole trip was nothing but one dispute after another," this man continued. "Meetings were held every day, but what they amounted to no one knew. When the crowd finally reached Petrograd, every one was criticizing the other. Haywood spoke to us at Petrograd, after the Red Army had welcomed us, and the first thing he wanted to know was if we had brought along any money. "We left Petrograd for Kamerovo and Nadajenski in box cars, women and children and all. Mr. Doyle, a practical engineer from Texas, was supposed to be in charge of the Nadajenski group, but the theorists blacklisted him, and the whole trip on the train was one squabble after another. "When we reached this city we were divided into two groups, one of 25 going to Nadajenski, the other to Kamerovo. At Nadajenski we were met by William Von Hoffer, formerly of Gary, Indiana. We soon found that everything in Nadajenski needed repairs. We cleaned up some houses and moved in. Our died consisted of barley and beans. "Von Hoffer forbade meetings, our mail was censored, and we lived continually in na atmosphere of forced confinement. Nothing was being accomplished at the plant, for the Americans had not yet the right to work there. The Russian workers and engineers showed their disaproval of the American colony by continual sabotage. "Men wanted to qnit, but could not because they had put all their money into Kuzbaz. Sixty-five percent of the colonists want to return to the United States. It is the same at Kamerovo. Nothing is being done. There is not a concession. People are forced to live under the worst conditions, and will be c&mpelled to remain until such times as a concession actually is granted. This may come after October. "As for me, I sold all my clothes and am-beating my vray to Moscow. Kuzbaz looked like a beautiful dream, but is a nightmare." Those who are sticking: it out at the colony look upon those who have ?one away as quitters. They admit difficulties, but say everything: will come out all right in the end if the colonists only have courage and patience enough to remain.

International Criminals Directed by Able Chief In London London, Qfifc 5.?The police are seexing in this city the head of what is said to be a remarkable group of international -criminals. A veritable "Napoleon of Crime" is believed to have established his headquarters here. He Is alleged to command a well organised band of international crooks, every one of whom is a past master of ;<Very form of nefarious graftsmansMp known in the underworld. Theyjnclude men of education, scientific attainments, and social charm. Under the leadership of their mysterious chief they are credited with conducting burglaries, cracking safes and committing costly jeyel robberies that bhffle detection. They are declared to Work in accordance with plans of campaign prepared by the master mildl with all the skill of u great military strategist. Several papers print this story with varying degfbes of sensationalism. Of fate there has been an. increasing number of Jdwcl robberies. As a result an instance ccfaipany which insures a good deal of valuable jewel ry has increased its premiums charged on this claaa risks by 26 per cent. J. W. Bell, one of Londrti's leading assessors, safs that many recent big robberies hate been so well planned and executed' that the police can uo little more Aan suspect the authors. "The peoAe who engineer these crimes are mt the common, ordinary type of thief!' Mr. Bell says. "There Is more thanVne real Raffles In exlntHttge t&hry. *1iat>mntoert<ty gatH. < rings, and mvte hotels they are popular guests. *J "I know one man who has a town address, a country bouse near Bournemouth, and tw6 fine motor cars, who is mora than Suspected of complicity in some of those great robberies, but up to the preset time there has never been the slightest chance of connecting him with at them. "He is of gftod appearance, always well dressed, and would, in the ordinary way, be Accepted as a guest at the houses of oNalthy people. "I know otie instance in which a director of tl)ieyw is reputed to be worth $150,000. Another successful director is a woman who has a university education, and is a cultured and charorfng personality. "The victims, both in hotels and at private houses are often watched and shadowed for 4*ys before a suitable opportunity for the robbery occurs. It may easily ooot, $1,000 or $1,500 to meet the e?*tses of a successful haul, and the Mr thieves require frequent robbedies to maintain themselves."

Nmta1ot> 1 Mflini* P Mil Russians Back to Homeland Sebesch, Russia, Oct. 5.?Russians who fled abroad from Bolshevism in the early days of the revolution and who have since found life in the refugee colonies of Paris, Berlin, London and Prague a constant struggle to keep their heads above the water in uncongenial foreign surroundings, are returning home in constantly in, creasing numbers. , At the same time the Soviet regime is banishing other Russians from the country, for one reason or another, and the two streams of humanity meet daily at this RussianLatvian frontier station. Approximately 150 college professors, publicists and other intellectuals, have lately been sent out of Russia charged with underground secret political activity against the Soviet government, or they were unable to reconcile themselves to the development of the Communistic system and were, therefore, of no assistance to Russia. Often the returning exile and the new exile have a few minutes hare to recite experiences or express hopes for the future. Much as they may rant against the present government, many of these latest exiles, when ordered out of the country, have displayed great emotion and expressed the hope that they would be allowed to stay. The returning Russians generally seem happier than those going out. Some of them have seen that life abroad has become increasingly difficult for Russians recently, and they much prefer again to cope with the hardships at home than to continue the struggle in foreign lands where governments are not sympathetic. Among the most reosnt of the returning Russians wen several who' had occupied important diplomatic posts abroad during the Czaristic and Kerensky regime. The Russians now being exiled abroad cannot return home for three years, according to the provisions of the new banishment decree. Homesickness for their native steppes is the reason advanced for the efforts of some thirty thousand Don Cossacks, now refugees in Czechoslovakia and elsewhere, who are seeking permission to return to russia. They have sent General Gniloryboff, who was a member of the government of the Don Cossack republic which fought for the Soviet power, to Moscow to negotiate conditions for their return. They fled from Russia during the civil war. Sworn Statement of Circulation, Etc. Personally appears Lewis M.
