THREE MEN ARRESTED.
Alleged to Be Implicated in Beating
of Girl at Greenwood.
Three white men, alleged to be
implicated in the beating of. Irene
r' Fisher, an eighteen-year-old negro
^ girl, at Greenwood last Tuesday night,
have been arrested on warrants issued
by the city recorder. They are;
J. C. Deal, a member of the Green- 1
wood fire department; E. C. Johnson,
an automobile salesman, and Clai- 1
borne McDowell, an automobile :
mechanic. 1
The girl alleges that her assail- 1
ants accused her of taking a $10 '
gold piece from one of them and
then- beat her with sticks until her 1
body was lacerated. She claims that 1
the gold piece was later found in the 1
pocket of one of the men. '
' The men were arrested on a war- ]
. rant issued under a city ordinance '
/ charging fighting. They were re'
leased under $100 bonds. No charges
have been preferred by county ofi
fleers.
r The case will not come to trial
until the girl. who is alleged to
have been beaten almost to death,
is able to testify.
Held Up in Georgetown.
On Sunday morning at ten minutes
to one, Mr. John J. Fox, who is in the
mercantile business at the corner of
Prince and Meeting strets was held
up by two highwaymen. Mr. Fox
was on his way home from his business
and was passing the postoffice
when he saw two men sitting down
on the coping of Mr. Taylor's back
entrance on Front street. He passed
the first one and came abreast of
the second one who rose up and
pointed a pistol in his face. Mr.
Fox reached for his own gun, but
before he could draw it the man
had shot him in the jaw. The bullet
passed through the fleshy part
of his chin, which was dressed afterwards
by Dr. Beckman who stated
that he did not believe it would be
serious. Mr. Fox chased the two
men but they made their escape. He j
thpn immpdiatelv made a report,
after his wound was dressed, to the
police department. There seems to ^
be some laxity in the way the po- g
li?e department handle these affairs j.
1 as the night officer had not turned ?
? in the report to the chief of police g
> at mid-day Sunday. The police de- ^
partment now have the case in hand
and are investigating. This is the ^
second case in two months of this j
kind, as it will be remembered that
Mr. John Boyd, while returning from ^
work about two months ago was held
up in a similar manner.?Georgetown
Times, July 21.

EXTENSION WORK.
Specialist in Agricultural Credits and
Insurance. ?
The United States Department of ^
Agriculture, through the Bureau of
Vavnt V/wnnmiff, VlOQ hpcnin A nfiW
phase of extension work in South
Carolina in the form of a project in
agricultural credit and insurance,
which will promote the credit union q
among farmers as a method of ob- a
taining short term personal credit; s
and mutual fire and livestock insur- ?
ance as a protection against fire and j
death of livestock by disease or ac- a
ddent. To carry on this work, Dr. 0
W. H. Mills has been secured as spe- ?
delist in agricultural credit and in- [
sorance. f
South Carolina has had a credit F
union law since 1915 but this law ^
? has not been used, chiefly because it
did not have anyone charged with
the duty of promoting the organiza- ?
tion of credit unions and also be- ?
cause it is defective in several par- (
ticulars. c
While there are some twelve or c
more farmer's mutual fire insurance ^
companies which have proved through r
25 years to be of great benefit of c
the low cost of protection they have (
given, there is room for perhaps as j
many more, thinks Dr. Mills. ,
The state now leads the South in i
the number of purebred cattle, but t
very few of these are insured, and j
of course still fewer high grade cat- {
tie. The cost of such insurance is <
so high as to be practically prohibi- 3
Ik tive, while in Europe mutual cattle (
insurance is almost universal and
the cost is low.
Again, as the expense of raising ]
tobacco and cotton and other crops J
increases with the higher cost of
land, labor and fertilizers, it becomes ]
" more and more necessary that farmers
shall protect themselves against
other losses, such as that by hail, j
Only two mutual livestock compani*
^ and two mutual hail companies now i
?" exist in the state. To study the I
...Vinia nf mutual insurance 1
V? ilVIV OWVJVV* V* ( |
and when feasible to organize new ^
companies is the purpose of the De- ,
partment of Agriculture in appoint- '
ing Dr. Mills as special agent for
this work. County agentr and others,
who remember that Dr. Mills wa,y
formerly specialist in rural organization,
will be glad to know that he ,
comes back into the Extension Serv- ,
ice in this new capacity. He will L
stationed at Clemson College and will
be available for engagements through
the county agents for such work as
indicated above.
o
Higher Cost of Living, and Why.
Senator McCumber's solemn warning
to the protected interests not to
take advantage of the greatly increased
rates carried in the pending!
Tariff Bill seems to be working about'
as expected. These interests are al
ready anticipating the strangle-hold
on consumers which the bill's enactment
would give them. The cost
of living is on the upgrade again.
The Department of Labor at Washington
sends out the glad information.
Price increases during May
range from 2 to 11 per cent. Only!
:hemicals and drugs fail to share in j
the great Republican uplift, but their
turn will doubtless come.
Some of this rise in the cost of
living is' under the actual protection
>f the emergency tariff. Such is
particularly the case with many foodstuffs
and wool clothing. Four dolars
more at least is the mentioned
figure for suits of clothes to be perpetuated
through the pending Tariff
Bill. Other emergency-tariff prices
will be similarly extended. The
SVorld's special articles on the subject
took up the case of sugar and
vhat the higher rates will mean to
;he household as it faces the canling
season. It is an important item
n the family economy, as recent war
ixperience emphasized, but it is only
me of many. ' ,
But what should interest consumers
ust now, perhaps, .is less the rise
n the cost of living already effected
n anticipation of the Tariff Bill's 1
inactment than what will follow that
svent in addition. President Hard- ;
ng has succeeded in getting the bill .
ihead of the bonus, and this should ;
lave some effect in accelerating the j
i rice-boo sting movement. The chances
ire that June and July will see even ;
etter results for the super-lobbyists
han May brought forth.?New York ,
