October 10th, there being present the mayor and both councilmen. The minutes of the regular meeting of September 20th were read and approved as correct ed. Mr. E. I. Reardon, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, made application to. council for exemp tion from taxation for a period of five years for the Buttercup Ice Cream Company, which h<? is en deavoring to influence to locate in Sumter.

McLeod was also in fa vor of same, but with the provi sion that after operating for six months', it must be shown that; more than 50 per cent of their; manufactured produces is shipped. a.vay from Samter or the exemp tion will be rescinded. Mayor Jen nings opposed the exemption for. the reason that he did not con-] strue that this would be a manu- ? facturing plant. ; Dr. S. H. . Edmunds, together; with Messrs. Walsh and Bevi. mem- ' bers of the City Board ?f Educa- | -.ion, were present , and asked for, permission to roll a small house: iow. located on the adjacent lot. to the Boys' High School on Cal-, hoan street, west on that street ' T.? Furdy. and through Purdy to a: permanent location. Dr. Edmunds staged that ail necessary precau-J tions would be taken to "protect rne payed streets.from injury,"and., that Judge R. O. Purdy, to whom} the house has been sold by the ! ?Schoo! Board, would be personal-; ly responsible for any damage that j may occur .to such streets. Coun- . oilmen Raftieid and McLeod both | opposed rolling a house over any; of. the paved-streets of the city oil! aecount of * damage that ? may be' sustained.' while Mayor Jennings was in f?vor. of granting the per mission as he was of the opinion j that the house could be moved ? v.iihout causing a?y damage, by; laying sufficient boards over the ,pa*ing and using rollers which would distribute the weight to such an extent that no injury to the! sx'reet could result. The matter Was .discussed at some length, but j H-teas decided-not to"give the per-j mit until a further investigation eoiild be made. ^.ilVIessrs.

RED CROSS TO I NEAR EAST' I AH Nurses in Europe Ordered j to Hasten to Athens I Washington. Oct. 10.?Carrying: forward its program to meet the emergency and relieve "suffering! among the refugees in the Ne:;r E;ist. the American Red Cross hns cabled to all of its nurses now on j duty in Vienna. Budapest"! Paris, and Constantinople to hasten to Athens for service in the relief op erations; Announcement of the] second step of the organisation in furtherance of its efforts in the j Near East was made tonight by Chairman John Barton Payne at the - convention of the Red Cross here. j Chairman Payne told the conven | tion that while there would be a joint appeal for funds for the Red Cross and the Near East relief, control of the funds f._> be vested generally in the Red Cross. It will take the "entire responsibility of dealing with The situation in Eu rope: that is. in Greece and on the islands und at Constantinople/' he said. ? "I have b^en advised by the sec retary of state," Chairman Payne continued, "that the refugees have been driven onto the European side so that the emergency exists in Eu rope and not in Smyrna. "The Near East relief has a large task in den ling with orphans, 1 !think it. has something like 100.00J j orphans, which forms for it a defi nite and permanent' task. But if there is an emergency, that is, if there are people in Smyrna or at !any other point in Asia Minor who require emergent attention it ws?l be given by the- Near East- r licf.'* The Red Cross sending a com mission to Oreece. Which will have complete charge of its activities in that part of the. world, the chair man announced. The personnel of the commission or the program .'t is to follow were not d:sclosed. The convention today heard, in addition to Chairman Payne's out line of the emergency program, ad dresses by Miss Mabel T. Board man, national secretary of the Red C*oss. and !>r. Livingston Farrand. former chairman of th? organization and now president of Cornell university. Several oth^c resolutions were j adopted, among them one calling! for closer cooperation with the! veterans' bureau in the handling j Of claims of disabled former ser vice men. The work of the organ ization in peace time served as a mooted uuestion. there being a dif ference of opinion as to the length I the Bed Cross should go with as-a program, outside of meeting emer gency demands such as is present ed in th<- Near Eastern situation. Or. Earrand said the essence of vitality in the' American Red Cross was its activity and no quiescence. It must not. however, he added, become a great charaities society. At the same time lie d?? : elarvd that the' organization should i continue a peace time work, re ferring to the problems raised by : ilocd". fire! and! other disasters.

Poisoning the Weevil. ."'Widespread success in boll weevil control.** is the-inspiring: title of an article sent out by the .Soil Iniprovcment committee of the Southern Fertilizer Association, whose headquarters are in Atlan i-.ta.v . ? .'? The article describes 302 sepa rate tests in the use of calcium arenatc as a moans of fighting the boil weevil. . and declares' that j j "without an exception., the 302; tests have demonstrated that cal-| cium arsenal*- can be used success fully in 'boll.weevil control. This,, 'oo. under all the varied conditions; 'of soil, climate, variety of cotton;! and different cultural method'-- ex isting throughout the Southeast." ,. The tests , a re made under varied ^conditions throughout the belt ten acres of cotton being set aide for leach test, live being treated,'with I calcium arsenate dust, and the oth t'er five acres be*ng*'left uh.treat.ed. ! The committee appears to have reached. the conclusion, as! a result o* these and Other tests and i>i vesti gat ions. that", the arsenate in duSl form has proved more effec tive and more satisfactory gener .ally than arsenate in molasses, j wbi<-h was advocated by many dur ing the early part of the season in this section. As a result of the use of arsenate the farmers of the south are mak ing preparations to use the poison on m greatly enlarged scab? nox? year. In the stare of Georgia-, for instance, in 1021 less than ten car loads of arsenate were used: in 4.922, 1Z9 carloads were applied, and from reports; the demand of ' Georgia alone will exceed 300 cars ;ncxt year. "The success of the dusting method has been SO geher ,al that farmers who had quit cot fton growing are already ordering ' calcium arsenate for next year," says this article, "and many who 'tried other methods have come now to a determination to use the dust.*' i This is cerikmiy encouraging Inews for the cotton indutry. and 'indicates that perhaps with proper ?methods o?" csio?r poison; ih^ boll rwcevij may c ase to be the dread ed destructioniat that/it once was; that by proper methods we can still : produce the staple, profitably and that the cotton growing industry jiias not yet passed out. In addition to using the poison, however, the committee declares that "t'nis is the time to kill next year's crop of boil weevils. Up root the cotton stalks and destroy '"the weevil's food at once. This jwitl compel the weevils to do with out food longer during hibernation :ird siarvc them practically ail t?'. death. K'dl the cotton stalks." Cotton. (Charlotte Observer). The South Carolina farmers ?have agreed that, based on cost of j production, cotton is worth 30 1-2 (cents a pound, and they aro to [meet on October 11 to sign up for a holding movement. Undoubted ly, in- vier.- of conditions of de maad and-supply, cotton ought to be bringing 2.". cents and more, but the farmers have been feeding the" market just enough to keep pi*ices around the 20-cent level. It is g/> ing to stay there *su long as t'.ie farmers are willing to sell. The admitted failing off in production (h;>s had !m.i effect in stabilizing prices upon a higher i?;ic:is. and no matter the conditions, higher prices ,ir<- jjoi going to come with cotton lowing i" ihr markets. Domestic stocloi have been reduced to a point below ?.?y0,0.vu bales?the warehouses of the manufacturers! are carrying dwindling stocks whil?^; the production of the season will scarcely exceed lO.OltlvK'O bales.
