Exclusion of Immigrants Undesirables Should Be Kept Out of the Country by-Rig idly Enforced Rules Washingron. Jan. Si??Ten im migration ; "commandments" have been adopted by authorities on im . mgration legislation. They declare that the time has come $*hen this country must not only for its own sake but also for the good of the world adopt certain fundamental Vn^eipies regarding the coming of foreigners to her shores. The "commandments" ^ which have been adopted call for fair play not only , for the immigrants but also for America. Under them it will be possible for this country not only to treat all immigrants ~ with justice but to treaty all na tions alike. At the same time with out humiliating any nation or race it will exclude completely particu * Jar types of immigration which "de finite experience shows to be dif ficult to assimilateand absorb. The "ten commandments" ? as ^ put in brief form by Dr.'Sidney L. Culick. executive secretary ofj the National Committee for Con-1 structive Immigration Legislation. | are as follows: j First, immigration should be reg- ? r itlated and seated both in quan- j tity and in quality, Second, no more immigration I should be admitted of any'national- ] ? ality than we can wholesomely as-j similate and in a reasonable length j of time wisely incorporate into ourj body politic. Third, no more immigration j should be adpiitted than can find j steady and useful employment i \ -without endangering normal Amer-j iean standards of life,; labor and j -wages. ? , Fourth, the numerical"regulation ; ? of immigration should be . flexible, j "Wh^-n industrial depression sweeps i "the country, all labor immigra-! tion should be promptly stopped.; Bur the doors, should again be open J when prosperity returns. Itshouid'. he possible, to take either step with out waiting for special congres sional action. Fifth, the closing and opening of our doors should be scientific. It should be based on assured and . accurately compiled facts and star j tistics from every part of the coun-: try. Sixth, the law should be general. The principles should be applied (equally* to every nation and people without arbitrary discrimination. Seventh, >the law should be cour teous to all. It should be possible, without humiliating any, to exclude i .completely particular types of im- j migration * which definite exper- ! ience shows to be difficult to as- ! similate and absorb. Eighth, the law should provide i for the sending of expert examin- j ers to the lands from which im- j migration mostly comes?this for: che. pake of both prospective im- j migrants and of our own land. I Ninth, the law should make p?s- j tSble at wise distribution of new; immigration. The flow should be ! restricted or entirely stopped from ! given peoples, to already congest- j edf areas, and encouraged to go to j those parts of, America where it is i desired. * Tenth, the new immigration pol- j ley" should be distinc; .y patriotic. 1 $t should favor immigration from | peoples easily assimilated a&tl j check it from- other lands. It j should guarantee equal treatment! and a square deal to ail aliens now \ In the United States.

Black-Jacked and Robbed | Pinewood Man Receive^ Bad Treatment From High way men Haston Broadway, a man living at Pinewood had a bad story to re port to the Sumter police depart ment when he called to the police for help during the early part of Thursday night. The scory that Mr. Broadway tells was that he was driving his automobile, an Overhand roadster, and picked up a strange negro man on the streets with whom he went in quest of whiskey which was soon purchased, Mr. Broadway said that the negro suggested that he drive the car under the ruse that he would go for more whiskey. Mr. Broadway let the negro drive the automobile and got in the seat beside the negro. The negro then immediately drove the automo bile into the woods just beyond the city limits on Liberty street. .An other man came out of the woods and then the negro who was driv ing the automobile told Mr. Broadway to give him his money. The negro also attacked Mr. Broad way, hitting him over the head with an automobile jack or crank. Mr. Broadway said that he told the negro to take the money and l>egged the ne^ro not to kill him. The other negro was also telling the assaulting negro that he ought not do that. The negro hinally left Mr. Broadway alone after he had taken the sum of about $40 from him. When Mr. Broadway appealed to the police he" was considerably braised about the head and hands and had a nasty gash on che left cheek from which the Mood was flowing. Mr. Broadway was unable to identify either of the negroes and no * clues seemed obtainable that will throw light on the crime. ? <? ?? Says Lehine; "Bolshevism will live on." On us Americans.?

To ruin an industry that feeds one of every six in the United States. To make valueless an *avest ment of $10.000,000.000. ' To reduce materially our export trade. That tiny gray beetle, is the boll weevil. The industry it is trying literally to eat up is the cotton industry, staple, industry of the whole S~uth. P.'../ now the weevil and the forces of science are locked in a struggle* for the life of the 1922 cotton crop. Government experts j say this winter will tell whether '< science or the beetle will triumph. I If science wins?:the /American j cotton industry will be in good ] condition. It will go on offering ] strong competition to India. Egypt, and other" great cotton growing * lands that also are fighting a les- j ing fight against insect pests. * If the weevil wins?the whol? I South will be changed. The ro mantic cotton fields, with hordes ? of negro workers, the old river boats, the bales awaiting shipment abroad at New Orleans?all these! will be things of the past. Memphis, greatest inland cofton market in the world, ships- thous ands of bales- to New Orleans monthly. Xine-tenths of the American coton crop finds* its way to sea ports by'way of the old fashioned river bSbX. Government scientists, engaged in the war against to? boll weevil, are not optimistic on the eve of1 the decisive battle. "The boll weevil. and the pink boll worm together have c%vered the whole cotton growing coun try in the last year," says W. B. Mereior,-'-states relation service, United"States Department of Agri culture. "What* the boll weevil left was taken by its ally, the boll i worm:" . , : >The insect now has gained a j foothold in Texas and Louisiana." says Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. "The next year will show whether efforts'to eliminate it will be successful.*' The bqll weevil is an invader from Mexico. It-was not known in-the United States before 1892. But once within our borders it gnawed its way -pitilessly forward, leaving ruined cotton crops in its wake. It's been pushing- its lines 54 - miles forward every year. In 1902 it ruined coton worth $10,000,000.* ? ? , * . By 1921 its annual board bill amounted to $400,*0 0,000. It ate one-third of the total cotton crop ?3.600,000 bales. ? This sent the price of cotton up and'saved many Southern planters from bankruptcy. But farmers . realize that year j after year of crop destruction is bound.tu ruin them. I So they're hurrying to the sup port of the government in the ?weevil war. . They'll try to kill ..weevils while they're hibernating this winter. Farmers are clearing up all the old stubble in the fields and burn ing it. For that's where the weevil spends the winter. . Eut the outcome of, the fight won't be known before this year's harvest. - ? <i ? . The Lost Oherokees Grove. Okla., Jan. 4.?The re moval of a number of Cherokee Indians from Delaware county to the community enterprise that the Kectoowah society of that tribe is founding in Cherokee county has served to recall here the story of the "Lost Cherokees," a story that is included in all of the later day Indian histories but in varying ac counts. Old time Cherokees of this section have lately brought forth what they declare is the "only true account" of the '?Lost Cherokees" ever-given to the pub lic. These authorities say they ob tained ?their information from their grand parents and insist that the version is absolutely correct. It happened back in 1S3S, their account runs, when the Cherokees living in what is now called the "old South" solera portion of their lands. This created an extreme bitterness among a faction that was opposed to disposing of the tribal property; Members of this fac tion forecast the sale as the be ginning of the white man's en croachment upon the Indians and ?.rgued that if the sale was con summated it would only be a question of time when the Indians would be dispossessed of all of their holdings to the benefit of the pale faces. . The Indians who arc now re tailing the "Lost Cherokees,"' as sert their grandparents described to then the bitterness with which th<- dispute raged between those who favored selling a part of the tribe's property and those who j opposed. Finally, the faction op posed to the sale delivered an ulti matum to their opponents to the effect that if the sale was consu I mated those poposjng would mi reffect that if the sale was consum mated those opposing would mi grate west. The ? went through I and the disso ied Cherokees started out for ? new home Bitterness in the light was lost and the faction that favored the sale accompanied the immigrants i as far west as Mississippi river with ; entreaties that they reconsider I and stay. But no amount of per suasion would influence them to change their minds. When tin river was reached, the advocates of the sak- turned back to their homes and the other faction crossed the streams and turned their faces : to the west.

The : long table was prepared on the first floor of the fire station and j filled high with turkey and many other good things to eat and judg- j ing from the remains that was left after the party had finished cvoiy- j one must have enjoyed the sup- l per to the fullest extent. The feast began dt 7:30 with practically i J all members present and lasted un- ! i til everyone had said 'enough', j Capt. A. "VV. Suder. the grand dad- j dy of the local fire department \ presided at the head of the table ' I as a gues> of honor. "When the ! j supper had been finished and the j I cigars passed, Capt. Suder on be- i ing called, gave, an interesting j talk in which he told of the for- j mation of the Sumter Fire Depart- j ment over forty years ago wiien i the apparatus consisted of the old hand type tub which had to be ' propelled by man power, and touch ed on the various improvements and progress tu> to the efficient equipment of today. He was fol lowed by Mr. E. I. Reardon, sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce j who also belonged to the company j in the years gone by. and told of j many humorous instances of the * way they used to fight fire in those , daya. One point brought out by j Mr. Reardon we feel is worthy of repetition and emphasis. - He call- I ed attention to .the loyalty and service rendered by the men be- j longing to the company which was j one of patriotism rather than mon- j etary as the risk and hardships : which firemen take are far from j being covered by the pay* they re- ! ?ceivo. There is no doubt that Sumter now has as good a fire department1 as any city of its size, both in equip ment and the personnel] of th<; j : company, and we believe that the I citizens of Sumter as a whole real j ly appreciate this fact and proud ? j of the department.

"The Sesto valley is in the edge; of the picturesque Dolmomite Alps, j one of the scenic nteecas of Europe.; ' Unlike the other mountains of the \ j Alps, the Dolomites are formed of j raised beds of limestone. With [ ; their upper portions bare, crags, j j worn into towering pinnacles and j fantast*? forms by weather, they j differ strikingly from the more I familiar mountains of Switzerland, | as well as from, the other Tyrolean [ and Trentino Alps. The great rock I I masses of the Dolomites are a light j j ashen gray, but here and there var- j ! ious minerals have painted them j : with splotches of orange, red and j j violet. Bathed in the rays of the' i rising or setting sun in fine weath j er, their pinnacles become the! I spires of rainbow-hued fairy pal- j races and gilded pleasure domes j such as Xanadu might boast. "The valleys of the tributaries of j the upper Adige furnish the* doors j I to this scenic region. The Sesto, j j however* is just beyond the last I ! valley in the northeast which emp- | j ties into the Adige, and its waters i flow instead into the Drave off to J I the Danube.

Many a single I j combat was waged on narrow rock [ ledges thousands of feet above the j i valley floors. Life in the valleys was far from the delightful exist- i \ ence it had been, for Austrian j I shells were even 'lobed' over the Dolomite peaks upon the villages I j beyond?villages whose people in j ! spite of long control by a Ger- | j manic government, mostly bore | I Italian names and spoke Italian. j i "Tourists have been straggling j back to the Sesto valley in the past j few .seasons, and life is taking on j something of its old color.

That seemed incredible, for the nearest enemy lines were close on eighty miles distant from the French cap ital, and artillery with that power of throw, fruicful as was the war in new inventions, had never been heard of. And though cablegram after cablegram reiterated the original dispatch, sometimes adding details, the mystery of the episode was never satisfactorily dispelled. It has now been left for Com mander Kinzel, who took part In the designing, construction. and final working of the gun, to con tribute its "inside story" to the German newspapers, and he does this with a revelation of the cred ulity of his fellow conspirators which is suggestive to say the least. y The scheme for a "big Bertha" whi^h should transcend all other modern ordnance for carrying power seems to have had its origin with Gen. Ludendorff. He it was, who gave Iiis consent to ex.ieri metal work on a gun that would land shells in Paris, and it was Under his directions thta the range to be attained was gradually in creased from fifty-seven to seven ty-five miles. Xine months of re search work Were needed he fore even the specifications could be! drawn, and many more months, went into the construction. . The charge; usually about one-third the weight of the projectile, was in this case twice as heavy1. The length of the gun is described- as "enormous." At an angle of 4~> de grees the barrel towered over the trees, houses and roofs: as Com mander Kinzel phrases it, "we needed sonic courage to shoot with a thing like a gigantic stick of asparagus." Btit the tests went I on. ranges of fifty to sixty miles ! were made with case, and after the J gun had been duplicated the two weapons were finally stationed in a wood behind Laon. care being \ taken to conceal the Location by all j the artifices known to military cam j oufiage. What did t'ne Germans expect to rdo with their ten-foot cartridges, ! their mightv shells and their colos sal gun barrels? To lay Paris in ; ruins so far as it could he cone? [That did not for a nioment enter I into tlu ir plan. The Germans had : imagined "what would happen if [?suddenly a. shell of this kind de tonated in the Potsdammerplatz, then> one in the Alevandcrplatz, another at the Zoo. and a fourth at the Schesische station in Ber lin. The purpose was that of ruin ing not the French capital, but the morale of the enemy. Ye: the Parisians did not stampede, and tiie ?'moral gun." as tile commander calls it. furnished history with one more example of tiie miscalcula tions on which Germany founded its hopes in the war.
