It was the hope that mercy would be extended by those of the opposite sex wjjich induced her counsel to exclude women jurrors on the ground^hat they are "more cold blooded and merciless than men."

President Harding's move for a disarmament conference is assuming far greater magnitude in world affairs than first indications disclosed. As the preliminary negotiations proceed they are revealing all sorts of unexpected diplomatic ramifications and leading into fields which in the beginning had seemed far removd from the purposes of the P conference.

In maritime circles stories have been told of strange vessels approaching merchantmen on the open sea, as though prepared to attack, and then dashing off into the darkness without observing thn invirvlinKlo otvln answering code signals. It was even suggested that these pirates-like craft might be able to explain the disappearance of certain vessels. What revenue agents believe to be the explanation of such uriusual actions on the high seas was brought about through the seizure of whiskey valued at $'20,000 which is said to have been -landed along a cove near Wildwood, N. J., from an alleged "mystery ship." Several days before the liquor was discovered and confiscated, an unidentified steamer was seen moving out of three-mile limit of Wildwood. Revenue officers were seen to watch it. The vessel disappeared but not be-' fore, officials think it had discharged i a cargo of whiskey. On Tremendous Scale Prohibition officers declare they are ; confident smuggling of intoxicants on this coast is being conducted on a tremendous scale. Cargoes worth vast fortunes are believed to have been brought from foreign countries.

It is thought probable that th' "blockade runners" have also trans ferred their illegal cargoes to vessel bearing authoritative clearance pap ers. This, the officers Say, would ac count for the strange actions of th< "mystery ship." Their explanation i this: "The captain of the liquor-ladei vessel is instructed to meet anothe vessel, bound for an American port at a given point along the coast aru transfer his liquor, which can then bi landed with a legitimate cargo.

J. Pope Matthews, president of t Palmetto National bank, when ask recently, what effect of this action the federal reserve board would ha on the financial situation, said: "Tl action will tend to stimulate a support the banks in the cotton bel and will tend to allay any panic feeling; the knowledge that the ft eral reserve board is lending its st port in efforts being made to brii about orderly marketing cannot b be helpful, and encouraging to interests. Such an arrangement . out lined is now in effect as to L erty bonds." J. Skottowe Wannamaker of !

Mr. Wannamaker of the opinion that relief from fina cial strain in many sections will t felt as a result of the action of t reserve board and that pressure w be eased. -- - TEAL'S MILL ' The people of this section arc having plenty of rain.

G. Greer and Supervisor H. P. Dill of Greenville appeared before the Henderson county read commission ana assured that body that Greenville county would do its share in improving the highway on the South Carolina side. An enthusiastic crowd, consisting of more than 250 leading farmers and business men of Marion county attended the meeting held in the court house there in the interest of the Co-operative Cotton Marketing association. Clarence Poe, of Raleigh, >. v nnmr ui mi- rrogressive Parmer, was principal speaker of the occasion. No attempt was made to sign up the cotton growers at the conclusion of the meeting, it being explained that committeemen aided by the extension force of -Clemson college would begin a campaign for members within the next few days. Dr. Morse, the veterinarian, says that he finds comparatively few native cattle?whether pure bred Jerseys, Guernseys, llolsteins or other pedigree stock, or just common cattle?affected with tuberculosis. The climate is not conducive to the development of bovine tuberculosis, and there is no reason why the disease cannot be completely wiped out in South Carolina. In dairying sections of the North and Middle West tuberculosis is the curse of the dairyman's life and causes heavy loss annually. For this and many other substantial reasons South Carolina should be the greatest dairying State of the country. The boll weevil cannot ruin a country that can raise I cattle and produce dairy products. ?The Sumter Item. The English believe that if the estimate of the United Stats government of a cotton acreage reduction of 24.4 per cent, and a crop of about 8,400,000 bale production in the Southern cotton belt is correct then the staple will bring a materially increased price, but on the other hand, should the estimate be erroneous and a bumper crop is produced then they look for 7-cent cotton, said Richard 1. Manning, former Governor of South Carolina, who has just returned from England, where he and David R. Coker, of Hartsville, attended . tho spforul wnrl/l onft/m recently held at Liverpool and Manchester. Mrs. Manning accompanied . Mr. Manning. To show the trend of . the English business mind, said the former Governor, British manufacturers are now putting in a stock of I low priced cotton, evidently in the blief that there is a hazard of a higher*. nrired staple.
