MJITTLE IS STILL IN
THE PENITENTIARY
Columbia, Aug. 28.-E. L\. Mittle,
who was sentenced to serve nine years
for mansiatughter in connection wvith
the killIng of J. H1. Patterson at Row
esville, in Orangebutrg county in No
vetmber, 1920, and whtom Circuit Jutdge
J1. TP. Mauldln recently ordered releas
ed from tile .lpenitentiary, staying the
judgment of tihe supreme court, whIch
tecently refused Mittle a new trial, is
still In ,the state iprison and no move
htas been made in his case. If any
further move is to be made it. will
bave to originate from 'Mittle, and
habeas corpus .proceedings would 1)e
the move most likely. However, no
move is expected, as Governor >Harvey
has been furnished .with an order of
the suipreme court, wvhich says that
no stay of any criminal sentence
which has b~een afmrmedi by the sau
preime court shall be0 issued except by
the suoreme c:ourtt of onte of its jus
ties.
'Mittle wfts released on order of
Judi~ge Mauilin, who issued a ninety
day stay of the sentence afirmed *by
the supr~eme court. Governor iHarvey
then took the case in hland and ordered
'Mittle back to thte penitentiary. There
heo is todlay, pending his appeal to the
Unitedi States supreme court, to which
tribunal hte has annouinced is inten
tion of taking the case.
Giovernor' Harvey has recently in
vestigated cbmpiaints made agaInst
flamp JIames, a Dillon county negro,
who was paroled by Governor Blease
in 151i, and who was recently arrest
0(1 and sent to thte gang for beating
members of htis family. The governor
finds that .Jamnes was pardoned by
CGovernor' Blease in 1915, and he
therefore can take no action in re
gard to thte iparole, the terms of swhich
were violated, but not until after the
negro had been gr'antedl a full par
dIon.
The state supreme couirt will meet
in enbane session next Friday to hear
important mlotions, among them prob
ably the Eidmutnd Blgham case, So
lieltotr Gosriue is expected to appear
und move for dismissal of Bigham's
appeal on the ground of after--discoy
eredt evidence, Higham was sentoeced
to dle in the electrIc chitl for the
murder of his brother and his sister's
two nanlted' children.
1OLL .WEEVIL TESTS
'SHOW BI6 DAMAGE
i'esis are 1ade oil Three Fields of
('oliou Near file Ciy and lI1gh De
giiee of infestation Found.
Interesting tests as to .boll weevil
nfestation, giving some indication of
le prolbable outcome of the cotton
stop in this vicinity were made by
several citizenis Monday morning.
h'lie first test was made on the farm
)f LMr. R. V. I rby, about two miles
"roi town. GMr. Lrby has a rank
-rowth of weed and from past experi
mnces he should have made as much
is a bale per acre oil his land. lie did
aot use poison, but qpicked up the
siuares. lie cut dowl eight stalks at
randoi and broight them to towni
ror inspection. From these lie plekce(
129 boles, out of which only 37 -were
-ound. Thirty-one of the remainder
were fairly well advance(d in growth
but punctured and may yield several
locks of cottoln per boll, while 61 were
immature bolls and will hardly yield
anything.
The second test was made in the
lield of Mr. Sollie Hobo 'near Watts
Mills, where the Southern Cotton Oil
Conpatny had supervised dusting with
calciuin arseniate. The same number
of stalks were cut here and out of
178 bolls 112 were found to be Ina
ture and unpunctured and 60 punctur
ed. A few white blooms were still
seen in this fleld.
The third test was malde 'on the
fleld directly -across the road from
test No. 2 which, like Mr. Irby's had
not been poisoned. This was planted
by 'Mr. Robert Templeton. lie said
that he started to pick u,) squares
early aid has continued at it. Out of
28 holls picked off of two stalks, 20
were found to be mature and unpune
tured.

fight all through the season, she "just
couldn't seem to win."

team have gone Iu to higher leagues.
Hobo, pitching ace of the league, has
already made a favorable showing
with Spartanburg. Moseley, his right
