WITH APPROVAL
OF BEST BRAINS
D. R. Coker Writes About the
Plan Published in This
Issue of Paper.
There appears in this issue one
of the most important articles the
Herald has ever published for the
benefit and information of the farmers
of the county. It will be found
in another column of the paper under
the headimr of "Horry People
Must Fight Under Boll Weevil Rule."
D. Iv. Coker is a member of the
group of successful men who formulated
the plan which is outlined
in full in article; and it is so important
that Mr. Coker wrote the
Herald a letter about it, and the
letter is so interesting that it is here
published in full;
To The Editor:?
Some weeks ago a numl>er of business
mea 'of the state realizing
that there is a crying need for a well
thought out program for agricultural
procedure under boll weevil
conditions asked Dr. W. W. Long
arid U on. R. I. Manning to form a
committed of well qualified men to
formulate sucn & for the
Htete.
These gotttlem^ft appointed the following
Committee which met in
Columbia September 27th: Dr.
VV. W. Ldflfc, Wade Drake, J. Ross
Ifartahan. R. U amer, J. W. Gas -1
ton, G W. Dura'l, j*r., W. C. JRrown,
R. B. Cunningham, ft. W. Sugars
R. I. Manning, and f*/ K. Cokef.
Mr. Coker was selected a3 Chairman
and Mr. Cunningham as S#?retary.
All were present except Mr. Hamer.
The opinions of every membef as
to th<? best farming methods for boll
weevil conditions were fully expressed
and all agreed on tne main
features of a program. A sub-committee,
consisting of B. \V. Segars,
it. lj. uunningham, J. W. Gaston,
Dr. W. W. Long:, and D. R. Coker,
was appointed to draft the program.
This committee met in Columbia o.:
October 5, all prexent except Dr.
Long who was represented by Mr.
Black well, aud the accompanying
program and rccommerwfations are
the result of their work. This pro?ram
in substantially its presen
orm was submitted to all the members
of the Committee. Mr.- f>rake\s
approval of the program has not
l>een received and Mr. ttamer ha*
withheld approval as he cortsiders it
conflicts with the Cotton Assocfation's
plan of not more than 1-4 of
any farm being planted cottota.
The program was submitted to' a
meeting of farm demonflirA^ibh
agents at Clemson College Friday
October 7, and was discussed and
approved. The program, therefore,
goes to the people with the authority
of a strong and experienced committee
and with th? o. k. of the Extension
Department.
Copies of the program are being
sent to all of the newspapers in the
state who are requested to make
editorial comment on it and urge
every subscriber to give it the widest
possible publicity. Bankers, merchants
and manufacturers are requested
to have the program printed
hi convenient lorm and to distribute
it as widely as possible to the
farmers.

ROGERS LOSES.
John Ropers who was defendant in
a suit last week with the Loris
Grocery Co., had a verdict rendered
against him for all that was claimed
in the complaint.
Rogers had alleged in his answer
that some of the goods were un- i
sound, but there waa n* proof to
that effect, but on the other hand it
was established by the plaintiff that
the goods sold to him were sound,
and none of them were returned,
and no complaint made.
CONSENT TBftDICT
In the case of George J. Holliday,
i against L. M. King, called in the
, court last weak, c there waa a consent
verdict taken for the sum of $300
1 which was about $100 Jona than the
complaint claimed was due.

There were but few witnesses on ^
either side. Livingston told about

paid the premiums required in ad- s
vance; that the policies were received jj
by him shortly afterward; that this, f
was about December 20, 1915. On n

Chicago. ?' Formal announcement
hat the railroad strike scheduled
ov October 80 had been abandoned,
ras made by the "Big Five brotheroods.
The announcement came after the
U^stion of realizing the strike
J'd?r had l>een debated seven hours.
"Wf! took the position that we
ould rtAt fight the government," L.
1. Sheppaid, president of the Order
f Railroad Conductors said. "It
ppeared that the government had
hrown its full influence on the side
f the railroads. The roads very
hrewdly let the government fight
heir battle. Our protest against
ho railroads and not the government,
but since we could not reach
he roads except through the govrnment,
we knew it was best to delare
the strike off."
Executives of the "Big Five" anounced
they would send notice to
ailfottd men throughout the counry
that there will be no strike.
The messages, it was said, have
Iready been prepared in code form.
The resolution, which the brother

of the negotiations with the

Leaders of the brotherhoods said
hey would not make the resoluion
public until 9 o'clock because it

While no announcement was made I
t was said the brotherhoods had
ecided to accept the 12 1-2 per

Only 14 of the general committee

to recall the strike order.
The brotherhood chiefs explained
hat th? decision to call the strike

I the k tiling of Mr. Walker arose out
oT a difficulty over a setloment for

having been had between Mr. Walker
niul Kirk land last Saturday, it i? said. |
tfext day Mr. Walker met KlrklaiUi
on the streets of Appleton and demanded
a settlement, whereupon the
negro drew a gun and shot him, It is
repored. the shot entering- the head of
Mr. Walker and killing him instantly.
The negro attempted to make his
escape, hut was captured about a mile
from Appleton b ya party of men
who turned him over to Sheriff Bennett,
.Tn the meantime a mob was
being fonved all over the county and
when the newtf reached the mob that
the negro was in the hands of the
sheriff and that he was intending- to
spirit M inaway to Columbia, every
avenue of escape for the sheriff and
his prisoner w/t* shut ofl!\ Portions of
the irob were at every station in the
vicin.itv. it is said, even the bridge at
Columbia being picketed. The sheriff
took a roundabout route to Gibbons
S. C., v. here ho boarded the Seaboard
rain with Kirkland, making a detour
enuiring over five hours, hiding the
prisoner between two of the coaches.
When tho train reached Fairfax it
was met bv ,1 mob of several hundred
who boarded the train and searched
everv coach, from the mail car to the
last Pullman, in search of tho nrisoner.
He was finally located and
iumped from the train and tried to
escape. He was shot at several times
and hit, but was still conscious when
carried through the countrv. The
ir.ob assembled at Appleton while the
negro lay in an automobile in the
middle of the street, and then its
members disappeared, apparently with
no violence anticipated. When the
shades of night had fallen the men
gathered again and burned the negro
on the main thoroughfare of the town.
There was no excitement about the
affair, it seems, everything taking
place in a quiet matter-of-fact way.
All members of the mob were masked
as they were at Fairfax when the
train was boarded and searched. This
is the first mob demonstration that
has occurred in this county since its
formation.

JOHNSON SUED
IN GEORGETOWN
Jpon Allegations of False Imprisonment
of A. B.
Harrelson.
fESTIMONYTAKEN
ritlrtt LAO I VVLLPw
Brings Out Fact of Case Pending
in Sister County---Big
Damage Asked.
The testimony taken in open
?ourt last week here while one of
the Jenkins Johnson cases was beinu:
tried brings out the facts about
ix big damage case pending1 against
A. P. Johnson in Georgetown Coun1
y.
Some time year before last, A. B.
Harrelson of Georgetown county
paid to G. H. Jenkins the sum of
$55.00 for A. P. Johnson. This was
debt due to Johnson by Harrelson;
but the amount of it was $110.00 and
was on a chat tie mortgage of a
horse sold to Harrelson by Johnson
and security made by mortgaging
the horse back to Johnson.
It appears that Johnson thought
that Harrelson had paid to Jenkins
the sum of ?120.00, or that is what
ho said on the stand in the Jenkins
case last week; and that on hearing
this he did not take steps to seizo
the horse which was covered by his
paper against Harrelson. Later
when he learned that only $55.00
had been paid, he took out a warrant
of arrest against Harrelson and
the case was investigated in the magistrate
court in the city of Georgetown.
At I he preliminary in Georgetown
Harrelson proved that he had
paid Jenkins $55.00 for A. P. Johnson,
which was half of the debt he
T 1 1 '
yncu .lonnson, and that ho paid the
remaining half which was $55.00 to
A. P. Johnson himself, and the arrest
warrant came to nothing.
I Then followed a suit for damages
brought by Harrelson against Johnson
in the sum of five thousand dollars;
and this case is now ponding
in the, efturts of Georgetown, ?

for next year's crop that all reffrom
