Phillip pine independence, to which the United Stattes is pledged when the time shall be ripe,' can well be i postponed and the islands kept i under their present yoke until there is more assurance of peace and security. When the time comes, however, it is felt that the Filipinos them selves, who according to American principles have a right to choose, will recognize that their highest opportunity lies ? in casting their lot permanently -with America. However, they might prosper alone they are likely to prosper' more as a part of the American Union. If the United Stattes is willing to have them in that capacity. ? ?i ? HOPPING OX WAGONS One of the most unusual me morials ever devised is that plan ned by the father of a ten-year old Ohio boy who was killed re cently by an automobile on his birthday. The father is a business man who has been especially ac tive in "safety first'" work. Every year :iow"he proposes to celebrate his" lost son's birthday by going into the public schools of his city and repeating to the children there the story of hiiw his own lad met his death. Here is his story: "Chester spent his summer va cation on- a farm. He came home for his birthday. We had planned a party for him Friday night. His little ; boy and girl friends were invited. They came, in their party j dresses and with faces shining? but there was no party. "Mother was baking a birthday , cake. Just before time to take it from the oven, she sechemed to get Chester out of the house so he would not-see it. She sent him to the grocery with his cousin. They ran laughing and shouting from the house, and a short distance down the street hopped on. the rear of a wagon. Later they hopped oft. The cousin-was first, and reached the curb. Chester was second, and the automobile killed him." Surely that simple narrative will carry its lesson home, if anything could. And yejt? "My boy knew that lesson better, or ought to have known it better, than any other boy in the world," says the father. 'A. thousand times i have said to him, *Boy, have all the fun you can, but never hop on a wagon while it is being driven along a city street. All that a father could do to teach one boy to obey all the sen sible rules of caution on a public thoroughfare was done, and it fail ed. Yet that father is not discour aged.. He hopes now to save some other man's boy. Of such stuff are heroes made. If any man's warn ing can carry conviction to boyish hearts, it is his. SEARCH AND SEIZURE j The Eighteenth Amendment seems to have been coming , into conflict -lately with the Fourth. At least, the practical interpretation put upon the Eighteenth by prohi bition agents has led to a conflict. There has been a great deal of searching of private houses with out warrants. This, objecting citi zens have maintained, is in disre gard of one of the oldest and most fundamental guarantees of liberty, adopted 130 years ago, which reads: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, pa pers and effects, against unreason able searcches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the per sons or things to be seized." Strenuous representations as to the sanctity of this right, even in the case of liquor, -are said to have I l been a strong factor in persuading i' the Houuse of Representatives to permit homebrewing as long as the liquor is not intended "for sale." WThea there are sales, it is usually possible to get enough evidence to bolster up a searcch warrant. When there are no sales, it is in reality a pretty ticklish matter le gally to invade a citizen's home. Congress as well as the enforce ment officers recognize both the practical and the constitutional dif ficulties. If the bill becomes law, not only will every man's house be his cas tle, according to the old common law principle, but every man's house be his brewery. The pros pect is unfortunate in some ways. Even a strict prohibitionist, how ever, may agree that it is better to let an occasional family brew and drink alcoholic liquor at home if it ehcooses than to abrogate this ancient princicpl of Anglo-Saxon freedom. If non-commercial home brewing is to be stopped, it will be by moral suasion rather than law. Funeral of 3 Sal Emanuel Former Citizen of State and Gallant Confederate Vet eran Dies The funeral of Mr. Sol Emanuel who died in New York. Saturday, will be held at the Jewish Ceme tery. Tuesday morning, at ten o'clock. Sol Emmanuel, formerly of Char leston and Georgetown, but for the past 25 years a resident of New York., passed away at the Roose velt hospital in that city at 12 o'clock Saturday night. Mr. Eman uel was 7 9 years of age. He was planning to return to his native state when he was overtaken by his! last illness and was rushed to the hospital last Tuesday. '''he body will be brought to Sumter and the funeral will be held at the Jewish burying ground as above statt ed. Mr. Emanuel was a brave Con federate soldier, going forth from Georgetown with t * Georgetown Rifle Guards, when that company was accepted for service January 2, 1861, and serving throughout the war in Company A of the Tenth South Carolina regiment. He was a son of the late Nathan Emanuel of Charleston and George town. One brother! Nathan Eman uel of Brunswick, Ga., survives him and also his daughter, Mrs. Esther Wen man. His wife, who was Miss Armida Cohen of Char leston and Sumter, died some sev en years ago. He has connections and a host of friends throughout the state. . . . HOME DEMONSTRA TI?N DEPARTMENT The Orchard and Garden series i of meetings which has' been con ducted by the farm and home agent were brought to a close Friday. We hope that we have been1 able to arouse interest which will be asting. Mr. Williams is planning to order fruit trees for any who. want them. If you have not already giv en your order it is not yet too late. Miss Laura Bailey, clothing spec ialist, will give hat making and re novation demonstrations oh next Thursday at Bethel at 9:30 o'clock. Providence 3:30 p. m. All club members are urged to be present. Anyone welcome. This is another effort to help us "Live at home". The muscadine grape season is here. Every housekeeper should prepare for her winter fruit cakes.. Below is given recipes for crystaliz ing everything needed, which can be done in the home at a minimum cost. Oystalized Citron or Watermelon Kind Quarter citron, peel and scoop out pulp. Soak rind in lime water (one cup lime to a gallon of water), ov er night. Next day rinse off thor oughly, put in cold water and boil until tender. Remove from water and let drip then weigh. Take from $-4 to equal amount of sugar, add 1-2 as much water and bring to boiling point. Put in the citron and cook until all the syrup is taken in to the fruit. Be careful that it does not scorch. Remove and dry in the sun. Be sure that it is thor oughly dry or you will have. it to meld. Cry stab" zed Grape Halls Pulp grapes, cover hulls with wa ter and boil until tender. Follow instructions for the citron. Istead of drying the grape hulls | may be put in a jar, processed and j seale'd. These are just as nice for i cakes and salads as the canned rai- J sins. Oystalized Figs j Soak figs in soda water (1 gal. i water to 1 cup soda) for 15 min utes. Rinse thoroughly and boil until tender. Finish as citron. For further recipes for grapes j apply to agent for bulletin on Home Uses for Muscadine Grar.es. The Scuppernong, James, Thomas, etc., are classed as muscadines. Another savng can be made by each gardener beginning now to gather his own seed for another's year's planting. For information on that line ask for bulletin of Saving j Seeds for the Home and Market Garden. Club girls are urged to gather the sassafras root as discussed with them.. Our marketing agent is ask ing us now how much we shall have for her to sell. Two New Live Stock Specialists Clemson College, August 26?Di rector W. Wr. Long anounces the ap pointment of two new live stock speccialists for Extension Service, both of whom will give attention to swine work. The new men are Seth D. Sims and David T. Herrman. Mr. Sims is a graduate of Pur jdue University, where he had spec ial training in livestock work, and j has reentry been manager of a live j stock farm in South Indiana For j convenience of carrying on the j swine work, Mr. Sims will have j headquarters ?at Florence and will serve the Pee Dee section of the state including the territory in J charge of District Agent T. B. ! Young. Mr. Herrman is a graduate of Ohio State University and has had excellent training in livestock work. He will be stationed at Aiken and will serve the southwestern part of ithe state which includes the dis trict in charge of District Agent H. iS. Jackson. With the addition of these two inew swine specialists, the work of ?developing the swine industry in I this state can be carried on with j increased facility. Unprecendcd Floods in British India London. August S?A Reuter ca ble from Karachi, British India, says the unprecedented floods in the Malir district, which is in the wa tershed of the Indus, has caused ex tensive damage. Entire villages have b?en :-<wept away, 10 persons j having been killed and many more jare homeless, while cattle have J been drowned and crops destroyed. Community Meetings Concluded. The series of twenty-one com munity meetings put on by Miss Caro Truluck and Mr. J. Frank Williams our county demonstration j agents were satisfactorily con chid - | ed on Wednesday and Thursday, ; and much good work has been ac , complished in stirring up interest in ithe future fight against the boll weevil. The big get together meet ing at the court house in Sumter next Monday, August 29th, at 10.30 o'clock a. m., has been well advertised at a number of these community meetings by E. I. Rear don by request of Chairman R. B. Belser of the marketing committee and by Mr. Wilhams. Dr. W. W. Long, direcctor of farm extension of Clemson College apd Mr. T. B. Young, district dem onstration county agent, and Mr. Sims of the live stock division of Clemson were with the Sumter party on Wednesday. A meeting was held at Concord I school Kon Wednesday, and on Thursday well attended meetings ! were held at Hagood, Stateburg j No. 10, and General Sumter-^Memo rial schools, at which Miss Truluck and Mr. Williams made very in [ teresting talks about what is best to do^on the farms during the rfext few years. Mr. Williams and Miss Truluck have undoubtedly caught the interest of many. hundreds ~ of. the men, women, boys and'girls of the rural districts by their com munity meetings in. the solving of future agricultural problems, and they have payed the way for the future community co-operation and county wide organization being at tempted by the .Sumter Chamber of Commerce and the Young Men's Business League of Sumter. It has been demonstrated by these meetings that the . farmers and their wives are very much exercis ed over bol weevil devastation and the quickest methods ot overcom ing adversity caused by this pest. Every section of Sumter county j was visited and in eVery section the reports from every farmer talked with .were that the boll weevil has practically cleaned up the .cotton crop in some sections and that, there will not be more than an av erage of 40 per cent, of what Should be made and in many in stances the weevil has taken 75 per cent of the cotton crop. The people of the rural districts are ready-to be organized, and it is now up to the bankers and mer chants and other business men to take the lead and complete the splendid preliminary work,.of or ganization started by Miss Truluck and Mr. Williams and those who assisted them. ? .i . m * ? ... 'i ? Waking Up At Last News and Courier If the newspapers of South Car i olina are a fair index to public i opinion in the state the belief is strong that lawlessness can be and i will be put on the run if only a de termined drive is made against it. The Marion Star is firmly con 7 vinced that "the two prisoners now encumbering the jail and embarras sing the officers of ? Charleston could be openly conveyed to the penitentiary, without any blood shed." The Star thinks that "all that it would take w?uld be an arm |ed guard, composed of men. who j woulud shoot and under orders of I Governor Cooper;" "Says the' Star: "Mobs are mobs just as long as they, can rule?but facing determined and fearless offi cers, armed wit hbuckshot-loaded guns and army rifles, mobs do not rule and do not attempt to . rule." The Abbeville Press and Banner entertains like sentiments. Owned and edited by one of the strong lawyers of the up-country, Mr. W. P. Greene, who has repeatedly serv ed on the bench as special judge, 'The Press and Banner says: "When [ we get to. think more of orderly government in this state, when offi cers have a due regard for their roles, when we have a Governor who will order, officers to shoot to defend the law, and when the blood of men who defy civilization is not regarded as "innocent,'.' we. shall be able, to stop the mob in South Carolina." ^ A correspondent of the A nderson Mail thinks that what we need, is a revolution such as was wrought by Wade Hampton and which brought ?peace and law enforcement" to South Carolina in 1876. "Oh, th.at another Hampton could now be found," he exclaims, "to rally the people against crime and disergard of law God grant that may come soon." During the past (two or three years conditions in South Carolina have singularly favored the growth and spread of lawlessness. The thoughts of the people were ab sorbed in other matters. Now they begin to see the menace which is upon them. They are waking up. Once they are aroused, lawlessness jmust end. The officers to whom the ( people look to end it will be well advised to take into account the change of sentiment which is get ting under way. NEW YORK COTTON. .

(Cor respondence of the Associated Press>?Dressed in a black riding suit and astride an Arab mare, Halide Hanum, the Turkish wo man, novelist and nationalist leader, greeted the Associated Press cor respondent by the roadside outside of. Angora, waving her hand in i recognition as the automobile ap ! preached after crossing innumer | able mountains and rivers from Iheboli, the contraband port on the Black Sea. Halide invited the correspondent to her. home, an Anatolian farm house in a nearby gorge. She said l she had ridden horseback fre quently since she escaped from Constantinople in March, 1920, riding the entire distance to Angora on h?r horse. "My mind- and soul are here but my. heart-is in America with my boys, Ali and Hassan, in college at Urbana, I1L," said the woman who has made herself famous not only ! as a. novelist but by espousing the cause headed by Kemai Pasha who is fighting, the Greeks. She spoke of ? the war with the Greeks and of the difficulty of making-peace with the allies. '.'Time is our great and best ally," she said. "We want peace, and we are : willing to fight for ever .for it. It is costly for us but it is the only. way. We must have our independence: political, geo graphic and economic." , . The correspondent reminded her that these were vague terms1 used by the nationalists since the Turk ish arEaistice. .'Tt may seem monotonous but we keep right on saying and think ing the same things," she replied. "When we first said them, we were ridiculed by some of our own peo ple, while the allies went on vio lating the armistice terms. We have made progress during the past two years, and finally we will win. Haven't the. allies got enough out of .us taking Mesopotamia and Sy ria. As for the Greeks, after they have spent all their money and in debted their nation to keep up a large army, they will be obliged to return home. After we have disposed of the Greeks, then the allies will have to drop the Capitulations, which orig inally were privileges extended to foreign subjects centuries ago by us so we wouldn't need to Inter fere; in their auairs; Gradually, the foreign nations Lave\ made of ?these Capitulations an eneroach i meht on our sovereignty. "I. understand the allies have about abandoned their pretensions to zones of influentie. Anyway, we ! won't have them, as such zones j mean infringement. on our politi- J caT liberty. In such zones the alhes ! Would exploit us, not bring us eco nomic help. The allies are ruined and need ^o spend their money at home. It is better business for us to have free trade competition, giving the Americans,' the Swiss, I or anybody, a fair chance to trade j with us. ^ . "We can't give up Constanti- ! nople.. That city is the culmination j of our civilization It represents^ our art, our beauty, our culture. It is at once our Venice and bur New York. / "There's a peasant fairy tale that the Devil, once upon a time, find ing the peoples of the earth at peace, called a council of the un der Devils, when it was decided to reform the earth so as to make the straits (of Dardenelles) and- there pitch, in place of rare beauty, the fair eity today called Constantino ple, and that ever since nations have fought to possess the straits and the city. Perhaps, with all the new mischief there is in the world, the nations may leave us to make peace with the Devil. "The British want the control of the straits and the city, but the worst they can do is to blockade us, and we can live on our own food, make our own clothes until they are . tired. Why should the British have such control? Surely no one wants the Greeks or the French there either." Regarding Bolshevik relations, she said: "We do not want any military help nor Bolsheviki among us, or any strangers for political reasons. "The sum total of our national ism is to tell the truth, and ac cept nQ middle measures. The truth is the only thing that counts. We are either right or wrong and if right we will win, and Turkey will be a free and useful nation. We want to live our own way, educate our people* promote commerce and the arts, build roads and railways, and cultivate our fields. Any na tion whose prosperity is based on agriculture may. survive. Will the world Jet us? If not we will fight to the last man and the last .wo man." ? ? ?

Steam Driven Airships Invention by English Naval Officer That Will Function in Higher Altitudes Than Heretofore Attainable London. July 29.?Invention of a system of steam propulsion for airships is claimed by Captain W. P. Durtnall. who was a British na val officer during the war and up to a year ago staff captain in the Chief Mechanical and Electrical Engineer's department of the Royal Air Force. It is maintained that the new system will function a. altitudes hitherto unattainable with the ordinary type of internal combustion engine. The invention is said to do away completely with the ordinary boil er, the steam being generated by means of internal-combustion pow er or heat energy. The superheated steam heat energy is supplied to special steam motors which are re versible and can be controlled from a central control station. Only heavy oil is used as fuel and it is claimed' that the driving machinery can be safely placed in side the frame of the airship in stead of in separate gondolas out side, thus bringing about a great reduction in air resistance and .consequently reducing the power required for propulsion. The en gines or "steam motors", as Cap tain Burtnall calls them, are of the double-acting type requiring no flywheels. - o ? o ? Big Reward Offered Georgia Authorities Seek Wreckers s '. Cordele, Ga., Aug. 26.?Rewards totaling $1,000 were offered today by the Crisp county commissioners for apprehension of alleged dyn amiters who wrecked an A. B. & A. freight train at Mussel White, near here early today. Similar rewards were offered for apprehension of prsons who take part in any future train wreckage. The wreck was the worst of a series since the road became in volved in a strike on March 6. Ephraim Pec'kham. negro fireman, was the only one injured. The train was loaded with live stock and perishable freight, 70 head of cattle being killed. ' GERMANY AND AMERICA TO TRADE Berlin, August 27?-American and German business firms will re sume peace time relations immed iately without waiting for the rat ification of the peace treaty signed Thursday. ? ? o - '. Washington, August 27?Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Republican negro national committeeman from Georgia has- suffered a slight stroke of paralysis. 'American Troops ! May Be Withdrawn .Believed That Soldiers Will; ; Be Brought From Germany ! _ ! Washington, A.ug. 266?Intima-j i tions were given in high official j quarters today that withdrawal of; ? the American troops from the ! Rhine will bo seriously considered I as soon as the peaot treaty sign l ed yesterday in Berlin has been j ratified by the senate and the Ger- ; i man reichst.--g. So definite predic tion was ma e but it became known that once peace actually was estab j lished the a<iministration would feel ! there would be no necessity of bur . dening Germany with the support ? of an army of occupation. Under the new treaty Germany agrees to perpetuate the promise she made ir: the treaty of Versailles to pay the expense of occupation, but there is no direct mention of the subject .vhich, it is understood, could be interpreted as in any way affecting the present situation or binding the United States either to remain or withdraw. The Versailles agreement fixed 15 years as the maximum period of occupation. So far as is known there was no consideration of the subject in the negotiations leading up to the present treaty, and offi cials take the view here that the decision lies wholly with those fa voring an early withdrawal, how ever, that maintenance of the forc | es of occupation might impose such ; a financial burden on Germany as j to delay materially her payment of reparations. j Last available figures place the number of American troops in the army of occupation at 14,000, whose co'5! of maintenance is near ly a million dollars a month. Only a small part of the maintenance bill has b en met by the German government f "s far. upwards of $250,000,000 being due and unpaid to the United Stattes on account .of j occupation. ? Despite the predisposition of the j ad min ist rr. raon to disengage Amer ! ican relations from any unneces ! sary entanglements in Europe, j many questions will enter into con sideration of the question of troops withdrawal. Problems growing out of ^he occupation already have led to disagreements among the Euro i pean allies, and it is the manifest i hop'e of American officials to avoid offense to any of them in the course it adopts. It is considered unlikely that there wi}i be a definite decision pending ratification of the treaty by the--senate and by the reichstag, I both of which are expected to be i gin consideration of the pact later j next month. Meantime, however, j officials of the state and war de I partment will make a detailed j investigation of cocnditions in ! Germany and in the* occu j pied territory for the guidance of 1 President Harding and his advisers. I Although the treaty signed yes terday covers in a general way the question of trade relations by re affirming many commercial pro visions of the Versailles settlement, it was. disclosed today that a sep arate trade treaty with Germany probably will be sought in the near future. It is possible that negotia tions to that end may begin even before the general treaty has been ratified.
