NOT TO BE NEEDED
Bids Opened for Largest
Single Order JEver Placed
by Navy.
Washington.?When bids for four
new battleships and 20 destroyers?
the largest single order ever placed
by the navy?were opened, it was
disclosed that the government faces
the souring prices of structural
material in perfecting the navy build
ing program. Although the department
had allowed $3,000,000 more
for each battleship, than it did last
year and placed a limit of $11,700,000
for hull and machinery alone, the bidding
ran with a close margin.
All bids of the Fore River Shipbuilding
company controlled by Hethlchem'
Steel were submitted with the
express stipulation that the.\ were
based on current prices for material
and labor. The company proposed
that the government pay any increase,
or profit by any decrease, and
let the federal trade commission determine
the figures.
The Cramp company submitted nc
figures at all, but proposed to build \
the ships at cost and take a constructor's
profit of 10 per cent. The de- (
tails of the bids, or to whom t.ho rnn
tracts will be awarded, can not be
determined until the figures have *,
been studied thoroughly by the navy <
constructors.
ff The opinion of the navy construe- i
'tors, based on a hurried examination
of the bids, is that all are sufficiently
within the limit of the cost to permit
all the ships being built by private
builders and there will be no necessity
of construction in government '
yards unless, as a question ef policy,
it should be thought desirable.
Bids Offered. ;
The Bath Iron Works Campany, ,
Bathe, Me., offered to build two destroyers
within 22 and 23 months
with a speed of 35 knots for $1,185,- ;
000 each; or three destroyers within
22 to 25 months at $11,150,000 each. ,
The Union Iron Works Company,'
>f ban Francisco, offered to build
two destroyers within 22 to 23
months to develop 27,000 horse power
ror $1,195,000 each or four within
22 to 25 months at $1,190,000 each
51' six, four being completed within
22 to 25 months, at $1,190,000 and
the other two within 20 months at
$1 ,185,000.
The Fore River Company bid on
four destroyers of 27,000 horse power
for completion within 24 to 27
months at $1,175,000 each or six
within 24 to 28 and a half months
at $1,105,000 each, or eight
from 24 to 30 months at $1,160,000
tiach.
The Seattle Construction and Dry
Dock Company, Seattle, Wash., ofment
in prosecuting the building prograin
and was willing to rent the gov
?n.ment construction facilities of
the plant.
Under this arrangement it was
stated, the government would furnish
a)i plans, equipments and materia!
ami merely pay the company for use
o^* its plant.
The Cramp's bid on four destroyers
to be delivered in 27, 28, 29 and 30
months, respectively, at $1,195,000
each. Radical alterations in the
Navy Department's specifications for
the ships were proposed, however,
which make it impossible to compare'
the offer with the others until a
careful study has been mad?.
In consideiing the figures on steam
and electrically propelled battleships
it was pointed out that the bidding
companies will not furnish electric
prupui.s;on macnmcry and that he-t
ween $500,000 and $000,000- must bo
added in each case to the bids offered
to arrive at the real cost of a sh p..
Are They Blind.
Sari Francisco, Cal., Oct. 30.?
"Wear yellow and bluff the mosquito,"
is the slogan of scientists who
are fighting this little pest and who
have discovered the carnivorous inI
sect's antipathy to that primary
color. Their discoveries are supported
by the testimony of United States
Marines, just returned here from the
Philippines, who attribute their immunity
from mosquito-bite and malarial
infection to the fact that their
khaki uniform is of a yellow hue.
The wise summer vacationist of
the future will bear in mind this
message of hope from scientists and
U. S. Marines, and carry along a
generous supply of yellow hosiery.
Still, some pessimistic persons will
be bound to insist that mosquitoes
are color-blind.
VV. H. Cannon and wife were in
Conway the latter part of last week
on business, and spent several hours
here before returning to their home
n the Jordanville section of the county.

IN MEMORIUM.
In memory of Mrs. Lillian Gerrald,
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. It. A. Harrelson,
who departed this life Oct.
loth, 191G. She was a good scholar
in Sunday School and a faithful work
or in her church. She was converted
some (> years ago in Mt. Zion Baptist
church. Coming in the work of her
Master young she was always faithful
to the church and Sunday School
and obedient to father and mother
and dearly beloved by all who knew
her. In her last moments of life she
called her father, mother, sisters and
friends and told them she was going
to die and asked them if they loved
her and then pointed them away to
starry region above. While we
mourn the loss of her presence heie
in this unfriendly world we rejoice to
know that she paid the debt we have
all got to pay and we realize she is
waiting on the other shore beyond
to greet father, mother, companion
and loved ones whree no more sad
parting and farewell tears are shed.
While we know not the cause of our
Master for calling our sister of only
19 years of ace. and in t.ho hlonm M"
life, we ask Clod to give us more of
thy loving grace to make us more
submissive to thy will that we can
rejoice at thy will on earth being
(lone as thou would have it done.
May God bless and comfort the dear
companion and bereaved ones and
help them to bear the sorrow of their
loss and be able to greet their loved
ores beyond this veil of sorrow,
where parting words are never
spoken and farewell tears are never
shed. Sleep on dear Sister.

THE HORRY HERA LI
KINKS FROM COUNTY AGENTS
Extension Workers Try Out Methods
to Aid Their Communities.
Here are a few kinks tried out
and found successful by county
agents in the North and West.
Certain farmcis of Clay County,
Minn., found that potato standardization
work pa. These farmers
planted seed in plats of from 1 to 5
acres. They used only seed true to
type, of good quality, free from disease,
and carefully trea t d the seed v
before planting. The plan s were inspected
carefully twice and. all diseased
hills removed. Two of these
farmers sold all of their plat potatoes
for $1.06 per bushel when the i
price for the ordinary run of potatoes j
was 45 cents. Fifteen dollars extra
spent for seed for ten acres returned
a profit of $75 on another farm.
Oneida County, Wis., a growing
potato seed in more than carload
lots. Twenty-five cars were contracted
for at 70 cents per bushel and
an option taken on 15 cars more at
| the same price. This same seed was
sold to local buyers previously for
from HO to 40 cents per bushel.
Coulee crickets threaten to become
very destructive in Fremont County,
Idaho. After consultation with entomologists,
the following poison
bait was used: Bran, 15 pcunds;
white arsenic, 1 pound; sugar factory
molasses, I gallon. Fifteen to 67
dead crickets to tho sc.uare foot were
found, which, it is estimated, represented
not less than 95 per cent of
them. Out of an appropriation of
$200 made by the county commission- !
ers to the farm bureau for this work
the county agent returned $120. A
few years ago the county spent
$4,000 in ineffective methods of control.
I , I
urunny County, Hi., has tested the ,
effect of rolling on the germination
of oats, both drilled and broadcasted.
If the germination on the rolled part
of the broadcasted field in the dem-.
onstration is counted as 100, the aveage
germination of the unrolled
strips was only 07.3 per cent. In the
drilled fields unrolled check strips
showed a germination of only 72.5
per cent to that on the rolled part.
Farm women in Ashland County,

IHICCO TRIAL IN 1
CRIMINAL COURT
)cfcridant Charged With Violation
of the Prohibi- . tion
Law.
Nearly an entire day of the court
t' general sessions in Charleston last
;cek was taken up with the trial of
incent Chicco, Sr., charged with
iolation of the prohibition laws renting
to storing intoxicating beveages.
The case was hard fought
rom the beginning and council for
>oth sides made lengthy arguments
o the jury and the law involved was
arefully explained and interpreted
>y Judge Hice. The jury was still
>ut of the case this afternoon.
The first witness for the State was
Dfficer Doar, of the raiding squad of
he police department, and lie testified
that on the night of May 27,
ID16 he was in the raiding sqmd t. at
157 bottles of beer and a part of a
pint of whiskey in premises at No. 83
Market street, which was occ, p ed.
lie also stated that he searched some
)f the other buildings close by. The
officer told of finding 151 bottles of
the beer in a trap and said that a
trail of water was leading from the
office of Vincent Chicco, Sr., to the
trap. He stated that the defendant
/ursed the officers and called thorn
burglars and thieves. The raid was
made about ten o'clock on a Saturday
night,
Sergeant Schrage testified that he
had four warrants to search thes*
premises and told of aiding in tho
raid. He was one of the officers in
charge . Sergeant Donald also te ti<
fied of his part in the raid. m
In cross examining Sergt. Sehrage,
Attorney Cosgrove, counsel for defense,
showed four warrants to the
witness and asked him if they were
the ones which they had on the night
of the raid and the witness repli?d
that they were, but when he looked
at the date on one it was found that
it had another date. The witness
identified three of them as being the
ones they used on the night of the
raid, and when asked if they had four
ho stoutly maintained that the officers
did.
When Vincent Chicco, Sr., took
the stand he stated that he did not
own the premises at No. 83 Market
street, ?ui an affidavit was produced
in Court to show that the building
belonged to his wife. He said that
he did not know how the beer came
to l>? there, as the building was ua
occupied. He stated that on the night
of the raid that he was talking to Mr.
Murdecai and several aldermen when
some one came up and informed him
that the y wore raiding W?r place. He
said that he went to his stove at No.
83 1-2 Marker street, and as he saw
no one there but found the officers
at No 83, lie told them they had no
business there. Cliicco said that the
officers did not have a warrant to
mid that place.
Solicitor Grimball made a shi rt
speech to the jury first in which he
stated the case of the State and was
followed by Attorney Cosgrove, who
made a lengthy argument in which he
nade as one of his principal points
the fact that only three of the warrants
iivmliippfl Ii\ ?? ?.!
,, v \ M an till\( liuil
;he officers searched the place unMwfully.
He also maintained that
\ir. C'nicco had no connection with
lie beer and had gone out of the
itiuor business.
In reply Solicitor (irimball stated
hat Sergeant Schrage said that there
cere 1'oar warrants on the night of
he raid and that they had been turned
over to the magistrate. He also
irgued that Chicco did have some con
lection with the beer even if he did
lot place it there him^ff.
Judge Rice made a lengthy charge
o the jury in which he told them that
ympathy had no place in the jury
ox and not to consider what the
lefendant was now or had been, but
<> give him a fair trial and to put all
nejudic.es aside.
Express Company Fined
Judge Rice imposed a fine of $.">00
ii the Southern Express Company,
vhich was convicted Monday
f illegally delivering liquor and was
cquitted on the charge of handling
ontraband liquor. Attorney Mordeai,
counsel for the company, appeard
in court and noted an exception in
k'hich he said that as the court was
bout to impose sentence counsel for
he Soutthern Express Company
rtoves to rest judgment on the same
;rounds as was cited in the indie lent
to quash pending an appeal,
lend as fixed by Judge Rice at
00. He also made a motion for a
i w t-ial on the same grounds.
