TOO MUCH TUMULTY 1 TP Tiimnllv nrivnfp qpprP \ uvovpil A & UIMW?VJ | > > ?? ? tary to President Wilson, is writing < ?t history of the administration, or rather personal sketches and inci- 1 dents connected with affairs of State 1 under the title of "Woodrow Wilson ^ as I know him." < As private secretary of the Presi- < dent during his entire term Tumulty 1 had a rare opportunity of knowing 1 the inside history of the administrn- 1 tion from start to finish. While nothing new or startling has been ' disclosed by Tumulty up to this time, 1 the comment of the press generally ' is that there is too much Tumulty in the narrative. j THE BOUGHT SENATORSHIP , They had very lively times in Con- , gross just before the adjournment in discussing the Ford-Newberry contest. The election of Newberry as Senator from Michigan showed an expenditure of $200,000. As the salary of a Senator is only $7500 it will be seen that Newberry must have put a very high estimate on the honor of being a Senator. Senator Pomerene, Democrat, from Ohio, conducted the case against Newberry with great tact ami ability as well as with uniform fairness. That Senator Pomerdne was making a powerful plea for the sanctity of the election of a Senator is evidenced by the fact that at one time only seven Republican Senators kept their seats while Mr. Pomerene was speaking. They could not stand the terrific blows that the Oliio Senator was planting upon their weak defence. But then the Republicans are in the majority and they will not be disposed to unseat one of their own Senators on matters how he gained his seat. FUN~IN CONGRESS The discussion of grave questions of politcial economy and of statesmanship in Congress is sometimes enlivened by wit and humor. In recent debate in the House on the so-called maternity bill Congressman Lowry, of Mississippi related this anecdote: '"Bishop lloss used to tell a story like this: "Down at the foot of the Tennessee mountains lived a Methodist preacher. In the course of time he got rattled a little on his doctrinal views and joined the Baptists. After preacruiig iur me Duptisis xor a winic he quit them and joined that denomination which the profane of the community called 'Campbellite.' A year later he had undergone another complete reversal, and was found in the ranks of the Universalists preaching the no-hell doctrine with great enthusiasm. But when a man starts going down there is no telling where he will stop. There eame a hot political campaign and he quit preaching and went to stump speaking. Not only, that, he foresook the party of his father and joined the Republicans^ One day a group of men sat about the village store discussing this fallen evangel, and some of them in their bitter criticism seemed rather inclined to leave off the (lis?. But a charitable farmer who had known and loved him in his blameless days came to his defensa with the remark: 'Now fellows, don't be too hard on him. If you didn't believe there was any hell, you might be a Republican too.' " CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE Anions the 150,000 persons killed by tuberculosis in the United States last year, nearly 2,000 were South Carolinians. This point with other facts is made known in a statement made recently by the Rev. Hugh R# Murehison, Campaign Director of the Christmas Seal Sale in this State. Mr. Murchinson gives as the official estimate of active tuberculosa in South Carolina 10,000. During 1920 there were 1,914 deaths, yet there are only 100 beds to care for .w.\\r ; u ^A., J/?ll ll-ll l?. ? T 1111 v/lll^y UIIC uvu iUI fVcry hundred active cases the people of the State are being asked what is to be done with the 99 cases out of every hundred who through lack of treatment either die or continue the spread of the dread disease throughout the remainder of the population. Death calls 12,000 children under five years of age each year in this country. More than 50 per cent of all children are infected with tuberculosis before they are 10 years old and the percentage increases until at 18 years it reaches its maximum of from 60 to 90 per cent. One of the aims of the South Carolina Tuberculosis Association, states Mr. Murchinson, is to seek out and record all cases of tuberculosis, and to provide treatment as a matter of w, protection to the rest of society, who daily are endangered by the germ which kills thousands of the best citizens. The prevention and cure of the disease depends largely upon the sale of health bonds and Christmas seals. The drive for the saie of these I-1 bgins th first of the month and will continue until New Years. U? MEETING DECEMBER 7 TO BE LARGEST OF FARMERS EVER Columbia, Nov. 28.?Officials of the louth Carolina Division of the Amerian Cotton Association say that the innual meeting of the Association t'hich will be held Wednesday, Deember 7 will be one of the largest :athering8 of farmers ever held in he State. Reports received from over he Stete indicate that there will be nousanas in auenaance. The Sumter Chamber of Commerce las taken it upon itself to see that Sumter county is represented by not ess than 150 farmers. Merchants, jankers and business men are also sxpected to attend. The meeting: will resolve itself argely into a conference on the boll .veevil and how to best meet the invasion of that pest. Prominent planters from the boll weevil districts of jther states have been invited to be present and tell how they solved the problem created by the coming of the weevil. The meeting on December 7 will begin promptly at noon and an invitation is extended to every farmer in South Carolina to be present. MAKE FARM SELF-SUPPORTING Clemson College, Nov. 28.?"Under boll weevil conditions it is considered important for each farmer to raise as nearly all of the staple food and feed crops as possible to supply all needs of the landlord, the tenants and the livestock. A survey which was made ?f South Carolina in 1920 rei'<m lc flirt font f liof f Kic cfofn /Inns nnf produce enough syrup to supplv the needs of tpo rural population of the state by something like 0,000,000; that there is a deficit of wheat of more than 8,000,000 bushels, of hay over 900,000 tons, of hogs of 229,000; and that we do not have dairy cattle enough to supply the needs of the rural population by 240,000. It was also found that there were a number of counties in the state which did not produce corn enough to supply the home needs. "All of these things can be grown at home much more cheaply than they can be purchased from other sections, and producing them should not interfere with the production of the staple cash crops but should round out a well balanced cropping system. On any farm on which a good rotation is followed for the purpose of building up soil fertility of the land and maintaing a system of diversified agriculture, all of these crops can be grown economically to good advantage." So says the Extension Service of Clemson College in Extension Bulletin 49, "Fannin under Boll Weevil Conditions," which has been issued recently and is free to any citizen who asks for it. Farmers who are seeking information and suggestions regard ing safe farming for 1922 should obtain copies from their county aents or from the Extension Service, Clemson College, S. C.

New York.?Wbat la called "a moat Important and far-reaching contribution to cancer researr 1- is made known by Dr. Francis Cat .or Wood, director of the Colombia University Institute of Cancer Resear< li, endowed by George Crocker, lb a report to President Nicholas Murray Butler. I Doctor Wood states that two of the workers In the Columbia laboratories. Dr. Frederick D. Bullock and Miss M. It, Curtis, i'h. D, both ranking as associate in cancer {esec rch, have dlscov- J ered a means of producing cancer artificially In rats, la^ge numbers of which ] are constantly tised In Columbia's work of cancer research. "After live years of hard work." says Doctor Wood, "Doctors Bullock and Curtis have finally shown that If white rats be Infested with the eggs of a certain parasite and kept for a period of not less than eight months, tumors will develop about the areas In which the parasites are present, and . that these tumors are virulent cancers which rapidly kill the animals In which they start and can easily be transplanted to others. "This Is not the first time that cancer has been produced artificially. It Is Just 146 years since the London surgeon Pott showed that certuln types of cancer follow certain occupations in which Irritating substances come In contact with the body. The best knowu of these types of cancer Is the chimney-sweeps' cancer, which developed to such an extent In England that laws were passed regulating the conditions under which chimney sweeping could be done. Namee Forms of Cancers. "Other forms of Irrltution cancer are J the well-known Kungrl basket cancer j n f tlui K' u uhm I * nuflifA VI V1IV muolilHU llllllf Vl ilic liriCI'lJUl cancer on the Inner surface of the I cheek among Malays and Filipinos, and the cuncers following chronic Xrav dermutltls. It has also been known j that It Is possible to obtain a considerable number of cancers In animals by I Inbreeding cancerous strains, but some years are required to get enough stock, the number of tumors so obtained is not always large, and the time of their appearance cannot be determined, so that experiments requiring many tumors cannot be planned. ''Another uiOuiiS of inducing C3UCCr has been by painting the skin of an animal with tar. This experiment is based upon the observation that workers in briquette factories, where the skin of the'hands is constantly in contuct with tar, not infrequently develop cancer. Professor Fibiger of Copenhagen has shown also thut cancers can be produced in the stomachs of rats by feeding the animals on a certain parusite, but here also the actual percentage of production is small. "In the method devised in this laboratory, however, the yield is very considerable, over half the animals of a certain strain developing cancer. Doctor Wood quotes Dr. J. A. Murray, director of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London, a noted Investigator of cancer, as saying recently that "one of the great disadvantage's which retards progress In the study of VUUV.V1 to n?c BI/DCUV.? VTA A UICBUO VI producing the diseases at will In experimental animals." , "With the discovery made in this laboratory," Doctor Wood adds, "this disadvantage no longer exists." | Doctor Wood reports the construction of a new machine through which, during the coming winter, will he added "new and Important facts to the very vital question of the treatment of cancer by X-ray." j Seek High-Power X-Rays. "There has been under consideration for some time," he continues, discussing experimental work, "the ereotlou of an apparatus for the production of a direct current at high voltages in order to produce X-rays of unusual power, as the limitations of the commercial machine In certain modes of treatment are obvious. "The matter had been discussed In an informal way during the last two or three years with a number of experts, among them Professor Dunne and Professor Davis, and at the last annual meeting of the Crocker board It was proposed that the accrued income of the Boiuly fund be devoted to the construction of a more poweri ful constant current X-ray apparatus I than bad yet been attempted, with the necessary equipment to permit of ac- I curate determinations in physical | I units of the exact quantity of radiation given off by the X-ray tubes. "Many unforeseen diflicultles in the obtaining of equipment and materials have, of course, arisen, as is usual in the construction of research apparatus; : but the machine bus already been run for considerable periods, delivering a continuous current at Idgh voltages, and gives promise that it will shortly be capable of furnishing not less than 200,000 volts with considerable amperage, an1 'jo this for such long periods of hours or even days as may be neo essury iu uic experimental work."

Her mis ueetls snocRea even uieuievui r.urupw in a Jay when terrible crlmea were not unusual. Tills Marquise was a pretty little woman with an air of youthful Innocence. One day she was Introduced by her husband to Oodln de St. Croix, a young cavalry officer of gay ways. The scandal of their relations soon became a topic of the hour. Wliei^ the husband of the Marqnlee failed to Interfere, probably because of his flight before creditors, her father had St. Croix put in the Bastille. There the young blade meditated vengeance. A means came to his hand through an acquaintance made In prison with one Exlll, a man skilled In the methods of the Italian ^MlMriers. St Croix was released a year plotted with the Marquise to ^B^^nged on her father. He told her ^^^^Kolgpner's recipes, and .she tried HHHrect on poor people who came n<w!eFdoor In search of alma. And I ?-vi? ?* ? ohrt Uy W U IUIIU| UIO ICDUUB BUM UVWWPH Hint It was safe to attempt the life of her parent This she did with complete success In 1606. St. Croix had been avenged. But more pressing matters weighed upon him and Ills mistress. They needed money! Then the natural question arose: why not poison her two brothers and sisters so that she would Inherit the whole estate? But these guilty lovers were crafty. They waited four long years, when the two brothers were despatched, with the aid of a volet. An Investigation followed, showing tlie method of their death, but without directing attention ^o the Marquise. Then St. Croix suddenly died. He had no lielrs, so the police were called lu, and found among his papers documents which Incriminated the Mi<rqulse and the valet. The latter was caught, tortured, and confessed. Then ,he was broken alive on the wheel. But the Murqulse had taken flight to lOngland. Afterward she went to Germany and finally to a convent at Hlege, where she was decoyed by a police ofllclnl disguised as a pried. When arresiou 11 was macovered thnt this unnatural woman had kept a full account of her life and crimes. She returned to Taris a prisoner. There she underwent the torture In her turn and finally was beheaded July 10, 1076, and her body burned. .ii . > Stories of 9y Elmo | Great Scouts Watson I 0. WmIoph Newspaper Union. ! ROCKY MOUNTAIN TOM AND THE "BLOODY ESPINOZAS" Back In the sixties in the Colorado I (told camps around Tike's Teak the warning "The Bloody Esplnozas are coining!" struck more terror to the i hearts of the miners than the dread cry of "Indians! Indians I" The Bloody Espinczas were two Mexican", j brothers. The older, Juan Espluoza, | believed that he had a special mission | to kill all Americans. He ambushed them In the daytime and crept upon % I them at night, liis record of murders | is Bald to have totaled 82. In 1868 he -killed two well-known k prospectors of California Gulch, near Leadvllle. Their comrades vowed I: vengeance on the Esplnozas, and after a long chase and a hard battle, they killed the youngest brother. Juan escaped and the next year he was back In his old haunts In the Sangre da Cristo mountains robbing stag# coaches and wagon trains and murdering settlers and miners. He took his nephew with him on these raids, and they grew so bold that a reward of $1,600 was offered for their capture, dead or alive. At this time there was living at Port Garland a little Irishman called Rocky Mountain Tom. Tom Tobln was his reul name, ang he was a close friend of Kit Carson. He was one of the best mountain trailers. When the report of the Esplnozss' latest murder was brought to the fort Tobln immediately volunteered to go after the bandits. Setting out alone, he took their trail and snick* with it although It led Into the wildest parts of the Sangre de Cristoa. Late one evening he saw from a distance two men encamped under the shelter of a shelving rock above a little stream. Stalking the two bandits as he - would wild animals, the scout crept closer and closer. He knew they could not be taken alive, and he dared not take the chance of missing bis first shot. The Mexicans were crouched over a tiny flame warming their hands, but in the dim light they offered a poor target even for so good a marksman as ltocky Mountain Tom. At last Juan Esplnoza rose. He stretched both arms wide, forming with bis body r prefect cross and presentIng a target whlcli^ loomed up plainly against the background of a sky atnlow with the sunset. Tobin fired Instantly and the Mexican miird?M?r foil HauS across his camp tire. The nephew scrambled to his feet. The scout tired again, and the last of the Esplnnzas droj?i?ed dead. A few days later Tobln walked Into Fort (inrlund, carrying a sack, and demanded a reward of $1,500. The sack contained the heads of the Bloody K?plnozas. State Of OhliV Cltv nt I Duces County, aa.
