Pou made a speech on the achievements of the Democratic Party in State and Nation. It was a masterly effort, such as might be expected from the gifted statesman of our neighboring state. Lack of space prevents the publication of many fine paragraphs of tVio .JJ? v..l rpL- * J vuto 5?cav auuicso UUt 1UC AUVeniSLT presents the closing sentences of this eloquent appeal in which there is a well deserved tribute to Woodrow Wilson: "There is a wounded soldier in Washington, now a private citizen, who even in his retirement wields greater affect for good than any other living man. What shall I say about this wounded Boldier? Perhaps I had flnowon All 1 ,.w? MMWTTVft in vino najr. n.11 k auviini persons believe in Almighty God. faith in God was the rock of ages which held this Nation steady during the World War. But for this faith untold thousands of men and women would have been driven to madness. Faith in God was the only light in the darkened firmament of the universe. It was the only refuge for the soul. The soul is immortal and goes back to its God. This faith was the Dalm of Gilead for the broken heart. "My friends, even as I have faith in a heavenly Father,so also I believe His providence in the supreme crisis in the world's history raised up Woodrow Wilson to lead all nations to a plane of nobler action and to point out to the children of men the pathway which leads to liberty and to universal peace." In a speech in Congress Senator William H. King, of Utah, showed up in masterly style the iniquities of the Republican tariff and referred to the prosperity the country enjoyed during the late Democratic administra tion as cpmpared with the conditions brought about by the Republican party in power. He said: "May I degress, Mr. President, to briefly emphasize the prosperity which came to this Nation and to the American people under the eight years of Mr. Wilson's administration. Measured by every standard that determines the progress and advancement of the people, the history of the world furnishes no parallel to that found in our country during that period. In material wealth we outstip the world. The value of the property of our country nearly doubled. Our foreign commerce rose from a few billion to thirteen billions of dollars. During that period our country participated in the greatest war of all time, and under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson our resources were mobilized, our armies marshalled, and our flag carried before millions of gallant soldiers, saw retreating military forces fall back discomfited, beaten and routed until finally the enemy laid down his arms. The eight years of Woodrow Wilson were the golden age oi mis Kepublic. In the centuries that shall follow that period will be remembered as a most glorious one in the history of this Republic, and the leader of the Nation during that period will be remembered for all time a sthe noblest figure of his age." BOLL WEEVIL CONFERENCES Clemson College, May 15.?There is probably no economic subject of greater interest among South Carolinians today than the boll weevil, and how best to proceed with farming and other business operations during the rest of the year 1922 with the present outlook for boll weevil damage. This will form the subject of three informal conferences of county demonstration agents next week, one each to be held ut Aiken, Florence and Spartanburg. These conferences will cover the state and it is expected that they will develop some sound policies that are not only in agreement with the best information on this subject of the cotton boll weevil but which have particular application to the conditions prevailing in each separate county in South Carolina at the present time. The district extension headquarters are located at the three joints mentioned it- - - " ? * nnu vn^ conjerem.es will be hold at the headquarters offices. Whi'e tie dates have not been finally fixed the meetings will probably be held at Florence on May 16th, Aiken on May 17th and Spartanburg on May 10th. To combat the robbery of Franklin, Tenn., residences, members of the American Legion have formed a vigi- 1 lante committee. They have captured three burglars thus far. 1 A. F.

CULTIVATE CORN EARLY Clemson College, May lf>.?Corn planting has generally beea late this .-pring because of heavy rains during March and April. Th's is going to mean a late crop of corn throughout the state. In past years it has generally been true that where corn planting is delayed until after cotton is planted, the corn receives little attention and a poor crop of corn generally results. This is not so much horn nan nf lafo oo -54 , ? ?.uv V* 1MWV piaiiwii^ UO IV is because of improper cultivation. Corn is a crop which does not need n great deal of cultivation, providing the cultivation is done at the proper time and in the proper way. If corn is planted in well prepared clean land, and is kept cultivated with a borrow or cultivator during the first few weeks of its growth, sufficient to keep weeds down so that weeds and grass never get started, the crop of corn is assured, as the crop does not require late cultivation if the weeds are kept out when it is young. In fact, numerous experiments have shown that it does not pay to cultivate corn eacept J wiicic vvceus ana grass are growing. The old theory that corn should be cultivated to conserve moisture has been proved not to be well founded, but cultivating to kill weeds is always profitable and, in fact, necessary for a successful crop of corn, says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, Agronomist, Com may be made a profitable crop in South Carolina if planted on good land and if cultivated in such a way as to keep down the cost of production as low as possible. One of the most important things to remember in keeping the cost of production low is that it is more economical to cultivate corn when it is young with a spike tooth harrow than with a one mule sweep, and it is just as effective. The rid. ing cultivator can also be used to very great advantage in cultivating corn for economical crop production.

Carr, Durham, N. 1 C., commander of the United. Confed- ^ crate Veterans. National headquart- j era of the Legion, sponsoring the , move, has also made the same request < of the Grand Army of the Republic. ' "We see your ranks growing very \ thin, and while there are a few of you yet with the living, the Legion has 1 an ambition to prove its fidelity to ' you all by accepting as a sacred trust 1 the privilege of caring for and decorating all of the gpraves of America's heroic dead, who fought on both sides 1 of that struggle resulting in the re- ' birth of our nation," the Legion's re- 1 quest reads. 1 "An exchange of our flags over the graves of your and our dead and a ' similar decoration for each and all throughout America will be binding 1 and indisputable evidence of the unity ' of our country forever." Following indorsement of the 1 movement by an American Legion 1 post at Schenectady, N. Y? which termed the ex-president a "disabled veteran of the World War," service men of Empire State have contribut- 1 ed a large sum to the Woodrow Wilson foundation. Eighteen Frenchmen were digging 1 in a German cemetery this spring for ammunition concealed by Germans contrary to terms of the armistice. They found it unexpectedly, according to Enrico Piana, Italian consul, told the American Legion at Los Angeles. Cal. Five are still alive. The United States Good Roads Association and the Bankhead National ' Highway association, in convention assembled, have adopted resolutions introduced by the American Legion, I providing preferential employment of ex-soldiers in federal, state and county highway construction. One half of the A. E. F. in France drank a glass of beer in a Coblenz cafe about a month ago, American Legionmen have informed their back-home buddies. The other half, who stayed ? back in Paris, was a Quartermaster Corps Sergeant. The A. E. F. will soon be reduced to just one of the pair. While a forest fire was sweeping down upon sick and wounded ex-soldiers confined in a Lakewood, N. J., hospital, American Legion men rescued their invalid comrades and parked them in an open field. Then they saved the hospital from destruction. More than 21,000 ex-soldiers asked the American Legion of Minnesota . to adjust their claims against the Government during 1921. Of these claims, 42 per cent, were for disability, compensation, vocational training and medical treatment. Stories of Great Scouts Woatorn Nawapnpor Union.

Y., during the French and Indian war, sentinels at one outpost began te disappear mysteriously. Night after night a soldier was posted there and the next morning could not be found. OoJy the bravest men In the army were selected for this post. Genera! Lyman gave orders for them to call out "Who goes thereV three times. If they heard any noise, and then if no answer came, to fire. But the disappearances continued until his men were panicstricken and refused to take such a danirarouK atatinn At last Israel Putnam, a member of Major Rogers' rangers, volunteered to go on guard at that place and solve the mystery. One hot summer night he heard a rustling In the leaves near-by. The sounds were those of an animal scuffling about on the ground for food and, peering through the darkness, Putnam saw by the faint starlight a huge creature, which he recognized as a bear, slowly shambling toward him. Something In the bear's-gait aroused the soont's suspicion. Putnam obeyed the general's orders. He challenged three times and then fired. A loud groaning and struggling noise followed I and when the scout rushed forward 1 he found the bear In Its death agony. Then he turned the animal over. En- < closed In the shaggy skin, still clutch- t ing a tomahawk but stone dead, lay i h giant Indian. 1 The mystery was solved.

And certainly none of the famous women who might answer to that description had a stranger beginning than a little girl bom at Parts In 1721. Her supposed father was Francois Polsson, an officer In the household of the Duke of Orleans. But common report held that her real father was a great financier of the time, who undertook to direct the girl's education. It Is said that In her early youth he recognized In her a spark of genius and shaped the girl's education so that some day she might be the king's mistress. At the age of twenty this girl was married to a nephew of her protector and begame the belle of the wealthiest circles In Paris business life. But that was a long way from the court, which she never entered until \, chance threw her in the way of Louis XV, at a public ball. He was captivated and not long afterward the young bride cast aside her husbahd for a doubtful position at Versailles.

But every now and then these same nethods are used by detectives in real Ife, frequently with a great degree For exnmple, there was the Hotel roquols murder case In which Police Commissioner Dougherty of New York tpplled a mixture of the Holmes and \ennedy rules In such a manner as to nnke the guilty man practically convict himself, although at the time he vas Ignorant of the fact that he was lolng It. Wllliaifi H. Jackson, a wealthy guest if the hotel, was found dead In- his 'oom one morning, stabbed through lie heart. His eold watch and sev *rnl other pieces of Jewelry had not fieen touched, but the only money In ills clothes were three twenty-flve rent pieces In one of his vest pockets. As Jackson was known to have carried a good deal of money, the supposition was that he had been mur- j tiered by someone who had either lost .'
