CHARLES, Attorney for Petitioner. June 9, 1931.—3t. Cheap Cotton . * Not Helping ?* i "T LESS COTTON MOVING THE mills FROM jj F. Jacobs is Stroke Victim Washington, June A—it may seem a paradox, but low prices of raw cotton are doing the op posite of stimulating consumption. Figures compiled by the Depart ment of Agriculture show that 1,- 044,194 fewer bales of cotton mov- od to the mills from Auflp& 1, 1930, to June 5, 1931, than^mlng the same period a year earlier. The situation simply is one in which manufacturers cannot get onough for their products to make operation profitable even if cotton is the cheapest since 1915. As it works out, the knowledge that raw cotton is so low causes the pur chasers of yam and cloth to de mand lower prices or limit their orders to bare necessities which in turn narrows the profits of the mills. At Low Ebb Executives of some textile con cerns' say they are entirely r,atis- lied to keep their machinery run ning just enough to keep it in good order and to care for their opera tives. Buyers in some of the pri mary dry goods markets are said to be in need of supplies to carry them through the summer but hesitate to place orders until they have more definite assurance of jarice stability. The Department of Agriculture aays that with cotton cloth orders diminishing and lower raw ma terial quotations, mills show little Incentive to place business. The dry goods market has not been able to resist the lower prices for raw cotton. It was said improvement in cot ton which would give the mills an opportunity to raise their prices, probably would stimulate yam and cloth buying and move the whole industry up where the trade could get some idea of future business. txx A mother elk often adopts a sec- Ifcmd calf.

He spoke of our wonderful climate, our good roads, our splendid schools, our fine transportation system, the^ purity of our race, the increasing number of farmers who are di versifying, which, if carried on, will make this one of the greatest ag ricultural states of the Union. He spoke of the great value of the Iodine discovery. Governor Shep pard said, “We now have 2158 miles of paving, 590 miles of hard surface roads, 2304 of improved dirt . roads, 950 unimproved but maintained, total 6002 miles. In 2930 contracts were let for $28,000,- 000 worth of roads.” His address brought much food for thought. Governor Sheppard paid tribute to Dr. Johnson as one whom he counted a friend. Splendid reports were given by Mrs. N. K. Gantt, Chairman of Ag riculture, by Mrs. S. B. George, Chairman of Health, by Mrs. F. L. Gandy, Chairman of Music and Recreation, Mrs. Annie Dunlap, Chairman of Religion and Welfare, Mrs. Julian Dusenbury, Chairman of Citizenship, Mrs. C. E. Gamble, Chairman of Legislation, Mrs. R. F. Rayle, Chairman of Finance. In her splendid report, Mrs. Smith told of the fine work of the Coun cil during the year. An unusual feature of this talk was the exhibit of an interesting collection of Christmas greeting cards and let ters from Farm Women's organiza tions of twelve foreign countries, Zulaland to New South Wales.

The meeting closed with the en tire convention marching to the grave of Dr. Johnson, to place thereon in loving remembrance a wreath.

Jacobs, founder and senior partner of the publishing and printing firm of Jacobs and Company, died at his home here tonight at 10:30 o’clock after having been in ill health for several months. He would have been 63 years old next October 5. The immediate cause of his death was a stroke of paralysis, ? nduced by high blood pressure. His condition became serious Friday and remained unchanged until his death. Mr. Jacobs was the founder of ;he Calhoun Highway association and at time of his death was serv ing as president of that body. He formerly was mayor of Clinton, a member of City Council and chair man of the Laurens County High way commission. He had long taken interest in civic and church affairs. * He was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Clinton. Surviving' are his wife; three sons, William P., J. F., Jr., T. D. Jacobs, all of Clinton and three brothers, Dr. J. D.

B. Kennedy, a well known farmer of near Ridgeway, who made 122 bushels per acre on six acres. The crop was carefully checked by a committee and harvested last Thursday in the presence of a large crowd of Fairfield county farmers who had gathered to see the dem onstration. The committee which measured the crop was composed of Howard Sullivan, S. R. Thomas and Charles R. Ridgeway. In the crowd gather ed to see the crop harvested were farmers from all sections of the county. Mr. Kennedy planted his six acres on October 1, using Coker’s Norton winterproof variety. On February 15 he side-dressed with 100 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda per acre and on March 15 he put down 100 pounds more per acre. The yield on this six acres was made more impressive to the crowd which gathered for 'the demonstration by reason of the fact that the crop on the adjoin ing field of the same variety of seed and planted at the same time but on which no side-dressing was used yielded only 20 bushels to the acre as compared to the 122 bush els per acre on the six-acre plot.

Methods Control For Insects and Diseases To control fungus diseases of Watermelons, Irish Potatoes, To matoes, Roses and Pecan scab, the standard 4-4-50 Bordeaux Mixture should be used. This mixture is made as follows: Bluestone (copper sulphate)—4 pounds or 4 oz. Quicklime—4 pounds or 4 oz. Water—50 gal. or 3 gals. Slake the lime slowly and then add enough water to make one gallon of milk of lime, for each pound of quicklime Used. . This will make a stock preparation which will keep if stored in a cov ered vessel. Make a stock bluestone solution containing one pound of bluestone to each gallon of water. This can best be done. by suspending the bluestone in a cloth just below the surface of the water. The solution should be kept out of metal ves sels except brass or copper, as it will attack them. The spray may be prepared by diluting 4 gallons of each stock solution to 25 gallons separately and pouring together through a sack (not burlap) or fine screen. CAUTION: 1. Bluestone solution must al ways be diluted before mixing. If concentrated it produces a very inferior spray. 2. Fresh lime should be used. Air slaked lime is useless. 3. Use on the day prepared, if possible. E. L. ROGERS, County Agent. Thirteen persons were killed in 141 accidents on South Carolina state highways in May, according to reports announced by the de partment yesterday. Ten persons were seriously injured and 104 were slightly hurt in the same accidents. The reports do not include ac cidents on county roads or city streets.' Twenty-four of the accidents were attributed to recklessness due to liquor, this cause being exceeded only by careless driving which is blamed for 39 of the accidents. Four pedestrians were killed by being struck by moving motor ve hicles; three persons in collisions of motor vehicles; four when mo tor vehicles overturned; one by falling from a moving motor ve hicle, and one in collision of motor and horse drawn vehicles. Other causes of accidents were: Twenty-two by reckless driving, nine by speeding, one by dazzling headlights, one by one or both headlights being out; 12 by defects of vehicles; eight by skidding; five by puncture or blowout; four by drivers losing control; two. by horse-drawn vehicle being withou light; two by drivers falling asleep; one by poor visibility; seven bj carelessness of pedestrians and four by causes which were not re ported. The number of fatalities in May was Ibwer by five than in April when 18 were killed, but was above ;he low marks of eight and nine ’et in February and March of thb? year. X Vets Must File » Insurance' Claims Before July 3rd Be Sure To Carry Driver’s License DRIVER’S LICENSES OF S. C. MOTORISTS NEEDEG IN OTH ER STATES ALSO Dr. C. K. Epting, Service Officer Df The American Legion, calls to he attention of all veterans of the World War that the time for mak ing demand for payment of war risk insurance expires on July 3rd. It has been held by the Courts hat a veteran who was discharg ed from the service during the late World War and who at the time of his discharge had in force a war risk insurance policy is entitled to collect the same even though no premiums haHte been paid, provided the veteran at the time of his dis charge was totally disabled and has remained in such a condition up until the present time or up to the time of his death. Most veterans do. not understand just what is meant by being PERMANENTLY AND TOTALLY DISABLED, and our Courts have held that a veter an is permanently and totally dis- COLUMBIA, June 10.—Because so many South Carolina motorists are planning automobile trips into other sections of the country dur ing the summer, and due to their lack of information regarding the Driver’s Licenses, the State High way Department is broadcasting a bulletin advising all motorists to be certain that before leaving their homes they have their licenses to drive a motor vehicle with them. All states which have a driver’s license .law require a license of all motorists from other states which have a similar law. Of course, one may never be required to show such a lic&ilfe; but, should the oc casion arise, mhch trouble and in convenience Will be avoided. The states which have driver’s license laws are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Indiana, Maine, Mary land, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. • It will be noted that while only twenty states have a driver’s li cense law, one traveling towards another state in almost any direc tion would necessarily have to pass through one of these twenty states. All South Carolinians who have lost or misplaced their driver’s li cense should make provision at once for a new one whether they plan to travel in another state or not. The law requires that drivers must have their license to drive a motor vehicle on their • person while driving, and penalties are provided where the law is not properly observed. tXt A Press Victory (The Anderson Independent.) Thanks to the United States supreme court, “freedom of the press” is not a mere phrase, at least not until the next war in which this country engages. Min nesota passed a law, under which a newspaper could be permanently put out . of business by injunction if a court .decided it was publishing matter that was ‘malicious, scand alous or defamatory.” This law was upheld by the Minnesota courts but set aside by the highest court of the land. In the words of Chief Justice Hughes, it virtually established a censorship and sc was repugnant to the constitution al guarantee of the freedom of th. press. Such a law could be an instru ment of most vicious political ty ranny. It placed too much power in the hands of one man. No pa per should be permitted to publish matter thlit is * “malicious, scan dalous or defamatory,” but the^ remedy is not in giving one man power to say what published mat ter comes under one or more of those heads. There is adequate legal remedy now against such matter. For each article of that nature, a paper may be sued civilly or its editor tried on a criminal charge, or both, but the determination is then, as it should be, in the hands of a jury of twelve men and not in the discretion of one man, who possibly is up to his 'eyes in politics. That supreme court decision was a distinct vic tory for the press as a whole, and not merely for the newspapers of Minnesota.

Robinson Insurance Agency PHONE 66 McCormick Farmers who feed supplements to grass fattened beef cattle are often undecided whether to feed the supplement throughout the grazing season or only during the latter part. This depends prin cipally on the care the cattle had the previous winter and on the quality and quantity of pasture available, says the U. S. Depart- nent of Agriculture. If they win- ered well and got considerable :ain, it is probably better to start •' dine supplements at the begin- ling of the grazing season. If ;hey were, roughed through the winter on silage, dry roughages, and a little meal or cake, it is lust as well to feed supplements only n the last 90 to 120 days of the grazing season, provided there is plenty of good pasture throughout ^he season. X Chemists of the U. S. Depart-^ ment of Agriculture have found that the proteins in sweetpotatoes are a good source of some of the amino acids which are essential! for the growth and nutrition of an imals and which are lacking or de ficient in the proteins of certain seeds and grains. Sweetpotatoes should be a valuable supplement to correct the deficiencies of pro teins of corn, wheat, and grains in general and some of the legume seeds such as the navy bean, lima bean, cowpea, and lentil.
