Successful Farming In Cherokee W. R. Walker of the Sonny aide sommvr ity, seems t6 have .solved the problem of a successful agricultural establishment. In addition to large farming operations'Mr. Walker has one of the fintst herds of Aberdeen Angus cattle 111 the South. He raises but one breed of cattle and evidently agrees with Mr. Noah of Morris town, Term., who says: "One breed of cat. tie is enough for any man." Mr. Walker has ben a successful farmer for many years; has made money even in the hum years when many farmers wire almost ready to give up, and according to his own statement, .the reason for his success is first, diversification, and second, he has raised all his supplies at home. Ever sinee the first issue of the Cherokee Times, we huve time to impress out -farmer iriends with the idea that, in order to be successful they must raise their wn supplies at home and in this way -ecome independent or the boll weevil, the low price of cotton or of anything else. There are a number farmers in Cherokee county who have accumulated good sized fortnes, and without xception these men have made everything which they needed at home except sugar and coffee and the clothing which they wear. The farmer who as his smoke house and .granary a chousand miles from his home can .ever hope to be a successful farmer and he had just as well pull up stakes .<nd quit before he gets so deep in the hole that he will never be able to pull ot.?Cherokee Times.

British Fish-Monger Died a Millionaire London, Nov. 22.?America furnishes many instances of millionaires who rose from the ranks, but it is doubtful if even in America a millionaire ;ver made such a humble start in ife as did Sir George Frederick Sleight, first tyaronet of Wetherby Hall, Great Grimsby, who has just nea leaving a iortune oi neany >00,000. Sir George began earning his living as a boy by gathering cockles on Dlethorpes Beach and hawking them through the town. He rose Anally t*> ae the largest individual owner of 3team trawlers in the country. The greater part of his fleet was used during the war for mine-sweeping and submarine patrolling. For the services he rendered the country in this way he was made a baronet, and the conferring of the title provoked no such scandal as has grown out of the tward of many honors in recent years. Ther9 are from 100,000 to 300,000 a'icns in the country who were smug, gled in, according to the secretary of 'ab-r. The department of labor also believes there are 60,000 Chinese in Cuba, watching heir chance to reach the Gulf coast. It is argued that reg istration of aliens would halt smug gling. ? ?

Among the important questions to be .discussed will be that of encouraging the growth of uniform varieties of cotton in communities. UniJbrm times of planting -to smother big factor in boll weevil control that will come up. The opinion la expressed that .if agreement could be reached py me various interest on unixorrq varieties and times of planting ?nd .he recommendations followed by ths growers one-third of the weevil prokr em would be solved. Cotton, it is pointed out, is a plant that readily adapts itself to changes n soil or climate. One variety, theretore may prove valuable through a wide range. One of the big difficulties is the long time that would be required to effect a complete change of variety. Pure seed is hard to get, as mixed varieties are so genreally grown. Some years would be required to produce enough pure seed of any one variety to bring about any big change. The conference will also go int? the various methods now recommended for controlling boll weevils under different conditions. No attempt will be made to dispose finally of the various problems of fighting the -boll weevil at this conference. Its work is intended to pave the way for ?an other meeting .later in which all interests involved will be represented. The plan of calling the conference 'originated with Dr. H. A. Morgan, president of the University of Tennessee, who made three trips through ihe South for the government studying boll weevil conditions. Dr. Morgan believes that unity in the methods recommended by the states and the federal government for combating the pest is one of the most important Bteps toward that end. Practically aH officials of .the United States Department of Agriculture concerned in boll weevil work will attend the meeting. Ball Rock J. N.

Theoe two republics were largely settled by Vikings about one thousand yeen ago, and in the time of Gustavus Adolphus swore allegiance .to the Swedish crown. They were under Swedish rule for one hundred and fifty years until If 10, when they were conquered by Russia. But the Letts and Esthonians still speak of the "good old Swedish times." This tradition of kinship with Sweden now expresses itself in constant attempts to get closer together culturally, politically, and financially. Thus the University of Dorpat in Esthonia, founded by Sweden in 1632, has Just added the sixth Swedish professor to its faculty, and various courses in the Swedish languag* are being given. Meanwhile group* tf teachers and pupils, farmers and ?hers are coming over to visit Sweden. The Swedish people were among the first to encourage these republics in their hard fight for national exiatence, and they have sent over relief expeditions to work among the inhabitants left destitute by many years of war and the suffering through many centuries of abject servitude under the rule of the local nobility of German descent, the "Baltic Barons," and under the Russian czarist regime. Trade relations between Sweden and the new Baltic states have developed rapidly since the war, and inumber of steamship lines are now maintaining regular service between Riga, Reval and Swedish ports. 1 Fair Warning An Eastern paper printing the picture of a "popular young matron" labeled it by mistake "Miss So and So."

Graft Punishable by Death in Russia Moscow, Nov. 22.?A strenuous campaign against graft among state employees, inaugurated some time ago by the Soviet government, has brought to trial in various parts of the country hundreds of individuals, some of whom already have been convicted and 'put to death for their trickery. At Nishni Novgorod eight men accused of swindling the government in connection with the installation of an electrical plant along the Volga were sentenced to be shot, while 21 others tried simultaneously ware sent to prison for various terms of years. In connection with the collecting of the grain tax imposed by the state, three men in the Moscow district, charged with making false entries by which the government was cheated of great quantities of grain, weta sentenced to pay thenupreme penalty, while 42 of the same group were acquitted.
