Farort Use of 1-1-1 Mixture Believe* Early Poimiiiif and Pkkinff Up Square* Best Methods of Fighting Weevil. fj Idi* Brabham, of Hattieville, who • was in Barnwell on business Monday, told a representative of The People- Sentinel that he noticed the first punc tured squares and found first weevils of the year in his cotton fields day. Mr. Brabham, who is one of the laigest and most progressive farmers in the county, has some fields of cot ton in which the plants are knee high and taller. Some of this cotton has been poisoned twice with the 1-1-1 mixture of calcium arsenate, molasses and water, while only one application ha s been made in other fields. It was in the cotton that has been poisoned only one time that he found the wee vils and punctured squares. Mr. Brabhbam, who strongly favors early poisoning of cotton, is not a believer in dusting the plants with calcium arsenate, claiming that the harm it does in killing the insects that feed on plant lice offsets the good it may do in killing weevils. In addi tion to poisoning with the molasses- arsenate mixture, he advocates picking up all punctured squares, both from the ground and the plants. He told of an incident that occurred several years ago. One of his tenants agreed to cultivate 6^ acres of cotton as rent for a two-horse farm. The weevils were very active and Mr. Brabham sent a crew of hands into the field to 1 ^ gather all punctured squares—those m, that had flared open on the stalks as S* well as those that had fallen to the ground. After a week or ten days hard work. 13 guano sacks full of squares had been gathered. As a result, 5^ hales of cotton were picked from the acres that fall. Farmers who do not intend to dust their cotton might follow Mr. Brab ham's experience with proftt. James Tilton Sanders arrived home Friday from Furman Universi ty, where he graduated. He is being congratulated by his numerous friends. STATEMENT of the Ownership. Management. Etc, Required hy the Act of Con gress of August. 24, It 12.

Ify coasmiseioo of the ■At EXHUME ROYAl BODIES DEAD YEARS Seek Truth of 41-Year-Old Austrian Tragedy. Vienna.—Recent reports here have summoned from the past the ghosts of an unhappy pair who died for love as truly as did Paolo and, Francesca. They were both members of the proud est aristocracy in Europe, that of Aus- ~u»e was tl»e Crown Prince ‘Rudolph, son of Francis Joseph and Empress Elizabeth, According to news dispatches, there is a movement on foot to cause the bodies of these lovers to be exhumed in order to tlnd out whether they com mitted suicide or were murdered, as was charged by enemies of the mon archy. The story of the crown prince and the young Baroness Vetsera (she was only sixteen years old at the time) is a strangely moving one, wliich has in spired many tears and much political recrimination. Were they killed by order of the politicians surrounding Francis Joseph? Did the emperor himself have a hand in it? Or, de spairing of ever being united w ith the chosen bride of his heart, did Rudolph shoot her and then turn the pistol against himself? Crown Prince Rudolph was a handsome man about town In the Vien na of the eighties. He had a literary turn, but It was beneath the dignity of the crown prince, said his father, to be an amateur journalist. So Ru dolph turned his attention to light love and sport. Then one day he met the beautiful Baroness Mary Vetsera. Of this exquisite creature. Karl Tschupplk. In his recent biography of the Empress Elizabeth, writes as fol lows: “The baroness* mother had. since her husband's death, lived In Vienna with her two daughters in one of the imposing houses In the ambassadors' quarter, the Saleslanergasse. The fam ily wa* connected with the aristocracy and the honse was much frequented by sporting young cavalry officers. The baroness had several brothers, well connected. With the help of her popular brothers the young beauty found It easy to make s figure In so ciety. The women of the Viennese aristocracy were held to lie the most bfautlful In Europe. Mary Vetsera was unusually clever and loveiy." Lovs at First tight. It was a case of love at first sight when the young people met at a party. Everybody noticed It and the news was at once carried to the emperor. He frowned and disapproved. He asked several days later to »e* his son. The crown prince during that Interview confessed hla love for the beautiful young girl, who had already come to visit him to his apartment, stealing sway secretly from h#* moth er sod her brothers. The emperor commanded him not to see the young woman again. The next day. Monday. January 28. 1880, the crown prince took the train to Baden, and thence drove to Mayer- ling He awaited a message from Mary. It came. On Wednesday the emprcaa, expecting a visit from her son. received Instead the tragic news that Rudolph and hla mistress had been found dead at the hunting lodge at Mayerllng. She had been shot and he clasped a pistol In hl» dead hand. Elizabeth, after debating with herself for several agonizing honrs* left her apartments and told the emperor the sorrowful news. There U no doubt that Francis Joseph and Ida court disapproved of this love affair. So did Mary Vetsera'a brothers. But who killed the enam ored couple, If they were killed? The court clique or the baroness’ broth ers? Or. Is It true, as the official ac count has it, that they died willingly as the only way out? This Is what the exhumation is In tended to show. Jerry Knows the Way to Meal and Lodging Toronto, Ont.—Jerry Donohue gets what he wants. ^ He wanted a full meal and com fortable lodging, and applied for it at a police *8181100 here. The officers were sorry, but they could not oblige him, they said. Jerry wasn’t discouraged. “All right,” he threatened, “I’ll smash every window in the joint.” The offi cers ushered him out. A few minutes later he returned with a brick in each hand. His threats worked. The police charged him with vagrancy and gave him two weeks’ board free. Horte Thief Agency Yields to Automobile York, Ta.—The old Paradise Horse Thief Detective agency, which has been in existauce for many years, has applied to the local court for dis solution. There are 222 members, and after all the debts are paid they will have left 2832.50, which they will di vide among themselves, each mem ber receiving $3.75. The automobile Is responsible for the disbanding. Tk*y*r* Wareham. England.—Granting a li cense to n public boose called Tim 81- lam Woman" that formerly had hot* ma*4 “The Algal" the chatrmaa of the that the Let us swallow this Important and prickly fact. Apart from our cooooc- tloos with other persona, we art bare ly Individuals; we amount, all of us, to next to nothing. It Is In the liv ing touch between ns and other per sona, other Uvea, other phenomena that we move and have our being. Strip ua of onr human contact* and of our contact with the living earth and the sun, and we are almost blad ders of emptiness. Our individuality means nothing. A skylark that was alone on an Island would be songless and meaningless, his Individuality gone, running about like a mouse In the grass. But if there were one fe male with him. It would lift him sing ing Into the air, and restore him his real individuality. As a fixed object, even as an in dividuality or a personality, no hu man being, man or woman, amounts to much. The great I AM does not apply to human beings, so they may as well leave it alone. As soon as anybody, man or woman, becomes a great I AM, he becomes nothing. Man or woman, each is a flow, a flowing life. And without one another, we can’t flow, Just as a river cannot flow without banks. A woman is one bank of the river of iryr life and the world is the other. Without the tw’o shores ray life would be a marsh. It is the relationship to woman and to my fellow men which makes me myself a river of life.—D. H. Lawrence In Scribner’s Magazine. Apparition Has Aroused Sleepy English VHlage Residents of Porchester, a village on the shores of Porchester hnrl>or, Eng land, declare that they have seen a ghost in the castle and the village Is now In the throes of a ghost scare. The apparition appeared in the tra ditional form of a tall white figure, hut those who saw It were too fright ened to make any Investigations. Por chester castle dates hack to Roman times and Is world-famous for the ship models made hy the French pris oners of war who were confined with in Its walls. Many people declare they have seen ghosts In the castle. The most famous of these apparitions la that of a sailor who Is alleged to have declared that lie w*ould come back after death. It Is believed to be his wraith which qra* seen walking quite recently. Ghoefs seem to favor this corner of Hampshire. In the village of Warbllngton. some 15 miles from Porchester, the spirit of Margaret, countess of Salisbury, who was ex ecuted by order of Henry VIII, Is oft en seen dressed as a nun, gliding about the lanes near the ruins of Warbllng ton castle, which was once her home. —London Tit-Bits. Peculiar Situation Cnu—d by Immigration Laws. t Unkind Natsrs Nature has no kindness, no hospi tality, during a rain. In the fiercest heat of aunny days aha retains a se cret mercy and welcome* the wayfarer to shady nooks of the woods whither the sun cannot penetrate. But she provides no shelter against her storms. It makes ns shiver to think of those deep unbrageouM recesses, those over shadowing banka where we found such enjoyment during the aultry after noons. Not a twig of foliage there but would dash a little shower Into our faces. ... In such spells of weather—and It la to be supposed such weather came—Eve’s bower in Para dise must have been hut a cheerless and aguish kind of shelter. . . . The idea of sleeping on a couch of wet rosea!—Nathaniel Hawthorne. Unfortunate Sen Lions The sea lion could hold his own against his natural enemies, but his real troubles began when man dis covered that he was Insulated with several Inches of oil-bearing blubber and that his hide made good leather. Nearly 200 years ago the slaughter be gan on the west coast, says Nature Magazine. V* Thousands of sea lions died for the enrichment of the oil hunters, until by the beginning of this century only a remnant of the vast herds which once roared and fought on their off shore rookeries is left to carry on the species. I Defiant in Suicide A Chinese merchant closed his life here with a proverb—an indirect hint that he did not want his friends to dig into his motives for committing sui cide. He had rooms on the third floor of the Bank of Communications, and at dawn made his way up to the flat room, climbed to the top of an orna mental stone effigy and leaped to the ground. He was dead when picked up. His last message, found in his room, quoted a famous Chinese prov erb to the effect that each man should ! sweep the snow from his own door step, leaving his neighbor’s affairs severely alone. Professional Accounting Very little is known f 6f the origin of accounting ag u profession. The first association of which there is rec ord is the Collegia del Raxonali, founded at Venice In 1581. Profession al accountants probably existed In Milan at an early date, as the gov ernment established a scale of charges for them In 1742. The first Scotch professional accountant was George Watson, bom la Edinbsrgh la 1845. la 1799 the British directory Hated •vc. The first formal recof Hlan giv en t* arcuoetanta In the Felted Stales la the lavs *f New Tart la AsrtL Detroit.—James Cooper Harper, who for seven years haa worn tha uniform of the United States army, la now pon dering the peculiarities of nations. Disclaimed by the United States and facing deportation by Canada, he won ders what sort of a welcome would await him la his native hills of Scot land. The rules of Immigration authorities work In a mysterious way and therein lie all of Harper’s troubles. He came to Canada from Scotland in 1923 and two weeks later crossed to Buffalo, where he enlisted in the Fourteenth United States infantry. He r served three years in Panama, returned, waa honorably discharged and immediately re-enlisted. On March 18 Harper was stationed at Fort Wayne awaiting transfer to service in China and he decided he would like one more look at British soil. Wearing his uniform he crossed to Windsor and passed two hours there. On his way back his feet found the pitfall that had awaited him for seven years. The United States Im migration officers learned his story and sent him back to Canada. They told Canadian officers that he should be returned to Scotland. A Canadian board of inquiry decid ed, In consideration of the oath he took when he entered the United States army, that Harper should be re turned to the United State*. In the meantime this Scotoh-Amer- ican soldier is a prisoner, waiting for such Justice as may be meted out to him. He has decided that he doesn't want to return to the United States if the United States doesn’t want him. He has offered to enlist In the Cana dian army, but the suggestion was not warmly received. There are no wars now, there Is no “thin red line o* ’ernes,” and the serv ices of a good soldier are now going begging. Scots Few in Scotland Yard; Rather Be Copt Xondon.—Boy. page Sherlock Holmes I Scotland Yard It confronted with a first-class mystery. Tills mystery Is: Whera are the Scotsmen In Scotland Yard? Irishmen there are plenty In Scot land Yard—and they hold the good position*, too. Welshmen? It would seem as though almost every other Scotland Yarder was a Welshman. And there Is, of course, a liberal sprin kling of Englishmen on the force. But It takes a fine tooth comb to find the Scotsmen. However, there la one Scotsman, and • good one. too: Superintendent Lauder. The curiotia part about the scarcity of Scotsmen In th# Yard, according to one old time Yarder. Is that there are plenty of enthusiastic policemen and would-be policctuea In Scotland, but they want to be policemen, and not detectives. In fact, taking the po lice force as a whole, there are prob ably as many men from Scotland In It, as from other districts. When police vacancies occurred re cently at Southend applications were received from all parts of the country. Including a number from Scotland. The two Scottish applicants from Gla«gow, so the story goes, used the same envelope! But why It is that Scotsmen ap parently dlallke detective work Is a mystery that Is yet to be aolved. Task of Harnessing Columbia Is Started Wenatchee, Wash.—The Columbia Is an aged horse but a colt in power. This spring the first attempt ever made to harness this mighty stream for industrial use willjrtart near here with a station capable of producing 84,000 horsepower.

Death Cannot Separate Neath, England.—George Price, eighty-three, and his wife Margaret, eighty-one, died on the same day with in a few hours of each other. Mothers-in-Law Outlawed by Tribe Capetown, South Africa.—C. F.. Scott, who has Just returned from a two-year exploration tour of South Africa, reports that he came acroaa a tribe In habiting the southwestern bor der of the greet Sahara who “outlaw" mothers-in-law. When a man la married hla mother either commit* suicide er aacapea t# another dime, be- rauae It la quite all right fur tha daughter-in-law ta kill her at right. Antegropka Up te Dele I ran up against a new fad the oth er day—or at least It waa new to me. I had occasion to visit an aviator friend who was in a bad sroaahup and had been for weeks in a plaster cast When I waa about to leave, he drew forth a fountain pen and said: “Your John Henry, please.” “What do you mean?” I asked, pua- xled. “Sign here, on this cast,” he an swered. Tt’a my autograph album.” I found the names of dozens of vis itors written on the plaster cast. Among them were the names of Clar ence Chamberlin and others known to fame. “I’ll save this cast to remind me of the pleasant part of hospital life,” aaid the sufferer. Not a bad philosophy, that. Skyscraper Mica In recent weeks several tremendous skyscrapers have been thrown open In the Grand Central zone, and from some of the office space renters I have found that the chief trouble with a new 50-atory building is mice. Plain, kitchen-and-basement variety mice. It takes several weeks of work to make a newly opened building safe for stenographers. The stenographers, re sourceful girls that they are, have evolved a neat method of catching of fice mice. At closing time a girl emp ties the paper from a wastebasket and places in the receptacle n piece of cheese. The basket Is placed near a chair, so that an ambitious mouse may clamber up a rung and peer into it The mouse spies the cheese, and hop* into the basket—and there it ia. It can’t climb up the steel sides. ^ • Buried Treasure A sure sign of spring Is a new story about buried treasure. Simon Lake, veteran Inventor of undersea apparat us, comes forth with the announce ment that ha is going to search Long Island sound. In the vicinity of Hell Gate, for $4,000,000 in gold that waa to have paid off the British army dur ing the Revolutionary war. When I-a We was a hoy a certain Captain Thomas looked up war records and learned that a British pay ship wrecked Itself on Pot Rock In Hell Gate In 1783. Thomas spent a fortune trying to ealvage the gold some forty yeera ago, but he never found a trace of the British ship. Lak* thinks he can, hot he won’t say what apparatus he will nae. • • • Tha Way te De It If I were about to begin my career over again, Fd go Into the restaurant business and adopt the same sort of showmanship that maettros of the movie mosques have developed. Fd de everything with a flourish. I got th* Idea late last night, as I was leaving a motion picture performance. In the huge, over-decorated lobby were a dozen brass posts with connecting cords, which had been used earlier in the evening to keep the customers In line. It was nearly closing time, and the posit were of no use. 8o they were removed as I was passing out. But no slouchy porter did the trick. Instead, six smartly uniformed ushers lined up, and a corporal or general or something In the usher army called: “Forward! One-two! One-twoT and zip!—fhe posts were out. and I felt that I had been privileged to see a great performance. Well, as I waa saving. I’d have food served in the same manner, by dancing girls. Detroit Traffic Towing Crews Do Big Business Detroit.—Towing In car* left too long in restricted districts here proved a profitable occupation for police at well as private concerns under con tract to do the work. In a six-month period 90,000 cars were towed to various pounds. Police cars hauled away 20,000 of them. Private tow companies handled the others at $1 a car. It costs the un lucky motorist $3 to redeem hla car from a pound. I H I i H- » 11 11 !
