County "Treasurer. 12|7!22-4t December 4th, 1922. o Clemson College.?The season is at hand when many farmers will order cotton seed for the 1923 crop. Too little attention has been given in the past to the source and quality of seed used and a gr^at preventable Iosf has been sustained, thinks Jas. L. Carberry, Extension Agronomist who advises that seed should be purchased only from the most reputable grower or dealer, and that quality is a greater consideration than price and deserved first thought. o Well-graded and delinted seed are best, and prior to planting, a germination test should be made for by this simple means bad stands may be averted to some extent.

AY, S. 0, JAW. 11, 1923 MACHINES USED 1 FOR TORTURING' Masked Klan in Louisiana Suspected of Butchery Methods EXPERTS EXAMINE BODIES Justice Agents Say They May Not Know all Horrible Details ^ -v? Mer Rouge, La. ?(Special Correspondence.)?The eyes of the entire country are turned on this little onehorse town of Louisiana on account of the kidnapping last August, of five of its leading citizens, the death of two of these, and the finding of the mutilated bodies of the two missing recently when a charge of <Jyn.? mite, used by unknown persons, caused these bodies to float tip on the surface of one of the lakes, and fell into the hands of the officers of the Governor, or State troops.

The sentence which read: "After dry curing, use 6 to 7 pounds salt, .and 2V4 pounds saltpeter for every 100 pounds of meat," should have read as follows: "After dry curing:, vise G to 7 pounds of salt, 2 Va pounds of sugar, and 2 ounces of saltpeter for every 100 pounds of meat." In calling attention to this error. D. T. Harrman, Extension Swine Specialist. the au'hor of the article on "Curing Meat." sun* rests that the '"mount of s.alt might profitably lie "banged to 8 pounds instead of to 7 pounds as experience in this state last winder wonM indicate that 8 pounds should be the minimum for general use. o fj#*r?pi'oHv the purchaser of seeds is absolutely at the mercy of the seller; j hence the importance of dealing only with producers or dealers of highest integrity and reputation for honest dealing. In most cases the farmer has absolutely no definite means of knowing the variety, purity, etc., until he has crrmvn thpm fnv ? i Poor, inferior seeds means sure los?to the farmer?a loss that may be prevented hv the use of care in pur chasing* But the farmer who fro1 year to year plants poor seed had1 mixed at the public pins will of ne< cesity suffer a great loss. A record of the total losses in the st.ite fror such sources would be astounding. SALE UNDER EXECUTION Under and by virtue of two executions to me directed and described a* follows: In the case of American Wholesale Corporation. Blaintitfs, vs. Sasser Company, dated ' May 25th, 1922; Lynchburg Shoe Company, plaintiff, vs. Sasser Company, et al? dated September 30th, 1922; I have seized and levied upon and will jell at public auction to the highest bid'ders for cash, during legal hours of sale, in front of the Courthouse door at Conway, South Carolina, on salesday in January next, it being the 1st <fay of said month, all md singular the following described real estate, to wit: ALL AND SINGULAR, Those five certain lots situate at Gurley, in Horry County, South Carolina, tying on the East side of the A.

LEWIS, Sheriff, of Horry County. i \ still coursing: through the veins. Find Fractures Check. The singular feature is that the fractures in both bodies were exactly the same distance apart. The pathologists measured along the femurs and found that the breaks checked, down to the fraction of an inch. On the basis of this information Federal investigators believed there was something methodical in the torture beyond the mere beating and kicking which it is presumed Daniel and Richards withstood, the presumption being based on the nature of the at.tack on W. C. Andrews, one of thc;ir young friends seized by the Kl/msmen the afternoon of the barbecue. At first ther&> was some supposition among investigators that after the two men had been mauled thev were taken to a cotton gin and thrown, bound, into a bailing press, but several circumstances discredit this theory conclusively. No machines in common usage on the plantations in this section would have caused the mutilation noted rt the postmortem. This f:^ct has lcf another mystery for the augmented force of Federal agents to solve, fov there has been nothing touching on it in the statements of persons who were acquainted with some of the I movements of the black-hooded outlaws on that* fatal night. Quit Jobs in Fear of Klan. Some of the Mer Rouge residents when they learn of the probability that machinery had been used for the purpose of torture, assumed immediately that some special device had been arranged for the purpose, so deep was tl}e hatred between the Klansmen and their slaughtered neighbors. They are awaiting an amplifica4 ion of tlie assertions of State officials that the murder was a brut/il butchery. Gradually the results of the K1a? incursions throurrh Morehouse Parish ')vo being ^een in the economic life of the people. Factories and industrial plants through the section are having much difficulty in retaining their employees, both white and nr gro. mnrv of whom live several mile from their work in small tenan* houses and fear th.it they will caught on a lonely roadway by mask />cP rtc*uvo?5 and fear that they have ?-1- v^"""se of some mine violation of the law. Travoiors Go Armed. Above everything, the secret dread of white men operating behind masks, handed down a generation, is causing them to drop out of .their work, some remaining sullenly at home and othersseeking another section. White resi dents of Mer Rouge, traveling tb?* roads at night generally carry firearms in their, automobiles. Managers of industrial enterprises are trying to stop the exodus of help. On the surface the situation is quiet. The Klan is not functioning, constituted government has been restored. To counteract the impression that Morehouse Parish is unsafe for rAxidpntx. Mavor C. J. Goodwin of Bastrop today issued the following ' statement: "In behalf of the community of which I am Mayor, I wish to correct the false impression the public has obtained of our home county because of the outrage last August, which I, together with 1he people of Bastrop most vigorously condemn. We hop* the culprits will be brought to jus tice. "Not by way of extenuation, 1 wis* to say that such an unfortunate incident should not bring a blanket indictment of lawlessness upon us.
