",h, 1923 MAN IS DYING TELLS STORY Muskogee, Okla.?The mills of the gods grind slowfy?but they do grind, sometimes righting injustices of the courts of men. After serving twenty-two years in I prison for a murder he did not commit, Charner Tidwell, of Welch, Okla., has returned here probably a millionaire. When seventeen years old he was convicted of killing James Brown, a farmer in Adair county, and received a life sentence. Recently a woman, Josie Gregory, to relieve her conscience, made a death-bed signed confession declaring that Tidwell was innocent and that her late husband, Robert Gregory, killed Brown and that both of them, as w<*ll as rpln tives, swore false evidence at Tidwell's trial. Tidwell, who is partly Cherokee Indian, found it a different world when released. Most of the twentytwo years he had been at the Federal prison in Atlanta. Oklahoma and Indian Territory were still frontier when he began hi^ prison life. .Small villages of one-story, unpainted houses and the council fires of his tribe formed the outstanding picture of his youth. Now he is trying to become used to twelve-story buildings street cars, elevators and Indians dressed in the height of white man's style, riding in automobiles. He doesn't understand the change. Government allotments, held all these years, will now be paid to him, and lands taken from him when convicted will be restored. He owns one farm of eighty acres in a rich agricultural section that is now in a big paying oil belt. Brown was mysteriously y?shot to death in 1899 while riding along the highway to his farm. Adair county was then in the Indian Territory. Tidwell was at the time employed on the farm and suspicion was fastened on him, as he had quarreled with Brown. A net of corcumstantial evidence Nyas , woven around him by Josie and Robert Gregory, from whom Tidwell could not escape. To make matters worse for him, two small sons of Brown said they saw Tidwell fire the shot. One of these boys, Tom. later was sent to State Prison. Tidwell fought almost the entire twenty-two years for his freedom. Three presidents refused to pardon him when > friends interceded; Judge A. V. Thomas, who presided at his trial and who was working to set him free, was killed; his mother, who devoted her life to e;et her son out of stripes, died. Twice she had gone to Washington to ask help from the president. The struggle and disappointments f A/\ VN"> II U 4- #"V I ?CI C kUU IIIUV.II 1WI IICI l/U UC(Ui In 101 f> Judge Thomas went to the State Prison at McAlester, to interview Tom Brown, son of the murdered farmer. The son had testified against Tidwell. But while he was in the orison yard walking toward the warden's office a group of convicts attempted escape and battled with the guards. In the fusillade Judge Thom, as was killed. Tidwell is without resentment. "Tt is just my mother," he said. "If she were only here now my happiness would be complete. She always believed me innocent and died trying to get me free.. She died of a broken heart. I am going to get all I can out of life and try to make un for what I have lost. My home will be there on my farm at Welch and T will devote my time trying to make men better and to relieve suffering. "The world seems different. This was the Wild West when I lived here before. My old friends, Indians, have become merchants and capitalists ^nd ride around in big automobiles. I never dreamed there were such large buildings here. But the great thing is that my name is cleared of this stigma."

FOR BOLL WEEVIL STATION AT FLORENCE. Would Conduct Co-operative Research Work Looking to Control Pest Clemson College.?For the past year the United States Bureau of Entomology has realized the need for a boll weevil laboratory or sub-station in the northeastern section of the cotton belt where climatic and soil conditions are very different from those obtaining in the Delta regions where almost all of the fundamental research work looking to boll weevil control has been undertaken heretofore. Realizing the wisdom of the establishment of such a station, and people would derive from having These investigations conducted within the borders of our own State, the authorities at Clemson College took the matter up with the United States Department cf Agriculture and after several conferences in Washington on the subject, arrangements were completed by which the boll weevil research laboratory would be established at Florence, S. C., in connection with the Clemson Pee Dee Experiment Station the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Clemson College co-operating in the undertaking. ! i lie co-operuuve ttRTeeiiieiit pruvides for an expenditure of twentyfive thousand dollars by the United States Department of Agriculture during the year 1923, and the expenditure of a similar amount by Clemson Collet in the prosecution of this work, provided the Legislature makes an appropriation for this purpose, says Dr. W. M. Riggs, President of the college. A resolution looking to the bringing: alnjut of the co-operative undertaking and providing support for the work has been introduced in the House of Representatives, and has been referred to the Agricultural Committee of the House. Work Proposed for Station. Some of the work that it is proposed to undertake if the station is established includes: Studies of practical control measures that are now advocated, such as molasses arsenate mixtures; other liquid poisons and combinations, such as the Hill mixture; calcium arsenate dust under varying conditions as to quantity, etc.; the stripping and poisoning method recommended by the Florida station; collecting of squares and weevils (cost and effectiveness).; tests of traps and such other devices of control as seem worth while. Aside from tests of methods already in use, studies will be undertaken for the purpose of securing data which may serve as a basis for new methods of control; for improving the methods now in use and for adopting methods found successful elsewhere in South Carolina conditions. These will include: Studies of weevil hibernation and emergence; the time and conditions under which weevils go into winter hibernation; the relative number of weevils hibernating under different conditions; the effect of stalk destruction and other clean-up practices on hibernation; the effect of cutting and shocking cotton stalks upon the weevil and upon the s yield and quality of the lint and the seed; the effect of these fall operations upon the time of emergence of the weevils the following spring; a study of the factors influencing time of emergence of weevils in the spring. Biological studies of weevils after emergence; the length of time weevils live under different conditions after they emerge in the spring; value of early poisoning; rate of multiplication and development of the weevils in the fields under different conditions; factors which influence dispersal and migration of the weevil during the summer and fall; studies to determine whether or not the weevil can live and reproduce in the absence of cotton, the influence of poisoning upon plant lice and other insects affecting cotton; the effects of poisons on bees and other insects of economic value. Plant studies under boll weevil conditions; the relation of cotton diseases to economic production and weevil control; the effect of pruning or stripping on fruiting; the effect of .;pa^ng the plants on rapidity of fruiting;^he effect of late cultivation on fruiting; shedding and production under boll weevil conditions; the effect of different fertilizing elements and combinations on rapidity of development and fruitinc; thr? nf ment and delinting upon earliness and upon vigor of the plant; the effect of biological factors upon the growth and development of the plant; the relation of type of plant to easiness and weevil damage. COKER PLANS TO SAVE SUPPLY The Coker method of poisoning the boll weevil by a mixture of molasses, water and calcium arsenate is believed to be an important step in the conservation of the supply of Calcium arsenate, thinks the State, of Columbia. That newspaper, speaking of the address delivered by Mr. Coker in Greenwood, says editorially: Faith Working, Against the Weevil. "Day by divy, in every respect, we are getting better and better," is what our genial guest from France Autosuggestion Expert Coue, advises n? fr* vnnonf mnnv timo? rlinlv* nml as xi matter of fact, our conditions are becomming better and better, in in many respects in South Carolina. The principal point of the Coue principle is that if one imagines he can do a thing, that thing is as good as done, the imagination being far more controllingly potent than the will. And every day in South Carolina more and more farmers are coming to have faith in their ability to contend successfully against the boll F. J. SVLUVAN 4K CO.

When we succeed in such opposition many rough places in this state will have been smoothed out. If this feeling of hope and faith among the farmers had not gained much headway in the past few months "several hundred farmers from Abbeville. Greenwood, McCormick and Laurens counties" who brav-, ed "the worse sleet storm of many vears" to gather at Greenwood on Wednesday to hear David R. Coker at Heartsville speak as a specialist on boll weevil control, would not have had the spirit to leave their homes. Nor would there have been a meeting for the same purpose In Union on the afternoon of the same day. It is distinctly fortunate, too, that at a time when it is practically impossible to obtain sufficient calcium arsenate to poison the weevil by dusting methords itidorsed by the National Department of Agriculture, there is an alternate method much more economical in the consumption of the poison that is preferred by many farmers, and that has the earnest indorsement of such an eminent cotton grower as Mr. Coker. The great shortage in the supply or' calcium arsenate is not therefore a har to the farmers' attempt to control the weevil by poisoning, and the use of the poison in the form recommended by Mr Coker is economical, while application is simplicity itself. But whether poison is applied in one form or in another, or whether it can not be applied at all, for successful production it is necessary that the farmer adopt a progressive method of farming. That is the universal advice not only of the theoretical experts, but of the practical experts. It is also the mandate of common sense; good land, good seed, good stands, gooa cultivation and the destruction of forms will increase production and minimize destruction. fltt QuMm TMDomIM Afftet ttoHsat Because of its tonic and laxative effect.
