The bill requires reasonable efforts by state officers to maintain order and protect prisoners and ther failure would subject them to imprisonment for five years and a fine of $5,000. Members .. *. 4., VI 1I1VUS III WUIV.I1 U I3UIICI IS |?Ul IU death would be subject to conviction for conspiracy with imprisonment for five yers to life provided. Counties in which fatal mob disorders occurr would be liable to the family of the victim under a forfeit of $10,00(1. Amendments adopted by the senate committee require that failure of the state officers to protect mob victims must be charged in the federal indictment and proven to the satisfaction of the federal trial court. Not only is the measure declared to be unconstitutional bu t since the measure of Union Miners at Herrin, Illinois, Northern Congressmen are finding that the bill they got up to punish the South will be a boomedang Senator Myers, a democratfrom Montana, said an eufive in Illinois, wa. subject to the punishment prescribed in the bill. Senator Myers put in the Congressional Record the verdict of the coroner's jury which investigated the killings, and declared that .if the massacre went unpunished, as he predicted it would, constitutional government in the Uinted State could not endure. "If that sort of thing goes unpunished,'* he said, "tVis government is nearing its end. That act was anarchy pure and simple." "There is little room to talk about lynch law i nthe south as long as this sort of thing goes unpunished. There is little room to talk, also, about the Turkish atrocities to the Armenians." Senator Myers went on to say unless r, : .i... i ?u- ?i?a. v.t%, V9VI |FUil IMII'U lilt* llt'^lt'Cl ui the duty of officers of the state and nation would be more reprehensible than "the crime itself." Senator Shortride, of California who was advocating the pasage of thi bill, was asked how the law would affect the killing of Japanese in hi* state, but the Senator dodged thi question. MARS TO BE INTERVIEWED The efforts to signal Mars are not abandoned but will be renewed on s larger scale, as-Mars is now nearinp the earth and will continue to gel nearer until 1924. Marconi, inventor of the wireles.aparatus, claims that some of his op erators received signals by wireless or radio that must have come fron Mars and he is coming to America t< make investigations along that line A gigantic telescope is being math that will bring Mars within a mile ant a half of the earth, that is optically. If there are neonle tin Mars it i. to be hoped tnoy are civilized and en lightened and not engaged in wars and bloodshed like the nations of this old world. Perhaps they can teach us how tc avoid strife and other unbecoming conditions. If so let Marconi hurrj up and get acquainted with out new neighbors of the sky. If the Martians are paeceable they should change their name as Mars is the god of War according to mythology. "NAMES IS NAMES" In China Sun YatSen has called up on Chen Chung Ming to surender an< branding him and his soldiers as rob els. It is said there is nothing in a name but there seems to be a good deal in a Chinaman's name. Speaking of this item of news b opropos. A New York girl was to be married to a man named Burton, but i-: ?- \ ? . t-% % juuitMi mm anu married i ouni toward Zichy or Zich ft Vaschykeo. Of course, a poor duffer with a plair name like Burton couldn't hope to get the pirl when a rival with a name like Count Edward Zichy de Zich ft cetera came. NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN The pi ft of prophecy is a wonderful endowment of the mind and that a prophet is without honor save in hi* own country is true now as when recorded in holy writ. Prophecies and predictions have been made by men wiser than their times, but they pained little attention?and no credit. Roper Bacon, who lived seven hundred years apo and who was impris oned because he keuw too much, pro phesied that men would fly in the air. H wrote "Flying machines artpossible, so that a man may sit in the middle of a machine turning a device by which artificial wings may beat the air in the manner of flying birds." He had a vision of the airlane seven centuries ago. TO CONTROL ARMY WORM Clemsn College, July?. At this season of the year, when outbreaks of the army worm may occur, farmers should be prepared to combat the pest with poisons, which can be done i with arsenate of lead, arsenate of lime, or Paris green, says Pro. A. F. following instructions on the subject. On forage crops and grasses, apply poison bra n mixture as follows: Arsenate of lead or arsenate of lime tfilMttiiiiiiiiiin r Fans green 5 lbs. Oranges o lemons . 2 qts. Water 2 gals. Cheap syrup or molasses. ... 2 qts. Mix the dry bran and the poison in a wash tub. A'd the syrup Chop the oranges or lemons fnely and add juice, pulp, and all. Add the water and stir to dampen it thoroughly. Then add as much water as may be neccesary to make it a crumbly mass j that will sow easily. Apply late in Ult- t'Vt'llIU^ UI1U Willi*.* II VM1. After cotton and corn have become infested, it is suggested to dust the plants with arsenate of lead or arsen .ite of lime, using about two pounds of the poison per acre?less for very young plants? and two and one.lalf to three pounds for cotton over three feet high. Arsenate of lead and arsenate of lime are ready for use when purchased, but may be diluted by mixing with equal parts of air-slaked lime. To prevent the worms from spreadin, plow a deep furrow around the field and when the worms pile up on the furrow, drap a log through it. l'ois< n the adjoining margins of corn anil cotton fields. COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION COMPLETES ORGANIZATION Columbia, July 10.?With the administrative officers elected and the general manager and other technical officers named the South Carolina Cotton Cooperative Association will ;oon be ready to fnnet'on Last week the board of directors made further progress towards the , completion of the organiation of the association.

Mr. Mazyek is regarded as one of the best cotton salesmen in America. He has been in the cotton b\isinest i tor the past twentyfive years. He was . in the Mississippi Delta for seventeer years. Eight years ago he came tc Bennettsville and later accepted tin . position of general manager of tin I Pee Dee River Cotton Company ant . tlue to his ability as a salesman thai . company lias made a wonderful rec ord. Messrs. Mazyck and Scarborough will enter upon their new duties al once, it is announced. L Applications for membership in tilt t association have been coming ir r steadily during the last ten days, ii was announced, many farmers having decided to join after seeing who woult * conduct the affairs of the association WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, July 10.?President Harding has gone to the country ti -ound sentiment on the pending Shi| I Subsidy Rill. Unfortunately, he wil not tell certain facts about the ef feet of this bill?he is so intensely foi the measure that he will sing its praises with none present to state tc the audience the following truth: which the people are entitled to know > The bill proposes to turn over t( , the shipping trust $.'1,000,000,00( , worth of line steel ships built bythc Government, the most modern fleei . in the world, most of them oil-burn . *rs. The people of the United State: own these ships. The bill proposes tc sell them to this group of capitalist: for $200,000,000, or one-fifteenth o: hni r r-net The bill also proposes to lend thes< I .nen $125,000,00 to recondition the ships. 11' they had been properly car i -d for during the Harding administra 1 tion this would not be needed. The bill provides for the payment >f a subsidy of $75,000,000 to lh< ' -apitalists ir> the next ten years foi using this great fleet of ships for theii >wn private gain. During three recent years the Atlantic Gulf and West Ini lies Steamship Company made a cleai profit of 100 per cent, on its shipping ' nusincss without a subsidy; the pubi .ished reports of the company show this, and it is merely used here as an example because it is one of the larg' est of American companies. During ' the war some ships earned their enlire cost in one trip. There is no reason why any of them should fail to be sclfsupporting at any time.

GERONIMO, THE "WORST IN. DIAN WHO EVER LIVED" WEBSTER'S dictionary contain* at leust one unintentionally grim bit of humor. "Geronlmo, a Chirlcahua Apache chief, flourished about 1880," reads one entry in the biographical section. Just how well this Geronlmo "flourished" only the residents of New Mexico and Arizona and the soldiers who chased him can tell. They called him the "Indian Devil," the "Apache Terror" and the "worst Indian who ever lived." His mother named him Go-Yatli-Lay, "The Yawner"; the Mexicans nicknamed him Ueronlmo, Spanish for Jerome. Like Sitting Bull of the Sioux, Geronimo was a much press-agented and eventually a highly-overrated Indian. Although he was a daring war leader, he was not a chief. The magsucre of his whole family by Mexican* In the early '00's sent him on the warpath against them. The blundering policy of our government towards the Apaches was largely responsible for hLs hostility toward Americans. It is difficult to Justify thus some of the cruelties practiced by Geronimo and his Chlrlcaliua warriors, past masters in the art of hideous torture. This Is what they did to one prospector, who had been wounded but not fatally: Cutting off the soles of his feet the Apaches staked him down over a red ant hill. There, lnsteud of killing him, they let the ants finish the Job. When the government tried to settle the Chlrlcahuas on the San Carlos reservation, Arizona, In 1876, Geronimo and. some of the other young leaders tied to Mexico. He came on the reservation later, but from thut time until 1884 It was a case of "on again, off again" with Geronimo. Then he led our soldiers a merry chase of more than 8,000 miles all over the Southwest and in 1886 was flnully brought to bay In Mexico by Capt. H. W. Lawton. Geronimo acquired his widest notoriety while he was a prisoner of war at Fort Sill, Okla. He was taken to the Buffalo and Omaha expositions, but he was still a hostile at heart and turned his face away from the crowds. In 1908 he adopted the Christian religion and became a devout church-goer. He Joined a Wild West show and In 1904 he attended the St. Louis exposition, where he almost got writer's cramp from orintlinr hln niOnornnh tr> aull The last years of his life were spent In trying to permintle the government to return him to his old home In Arl' zona. He was unsuccessful and when he died February 21, 1909, although he r hud gone on his last war trail nearly a quarter of a century before, he was still a prisoner of war. I I^V^VIPS" WHO X J MADE HISTORY | t *; By JAMES C. YOUNG. g r <(s) by McClur* N?wspap*r Syndicate.) FROM PALACE TO QUTTER AND BACK AGAIN. THE story of Blanca Capella might well be called "The Face at the Window." She waa born In 1M8, daughter of a great Venetian noble. And no girl ever had u more alluring ! future. Hut love Interfered and she ; ran away with a poor hank clerk to . his home In Florence. He hud told her t that his parents belonged to the gentry. Instead, she found them living In a miserable slum. Binuca soon became celebrated as | the flower of the Florence slums. One day she was sitting at the window when Francesco de Medici chanced by. I He saw her lovely face and the next > day she was summoned to court. Francesco was the son of the grand duke, and soon her slave. She had sickened of the bank clerk husband and the trials of poverty. Francesco's father died and he bocame grand duke. Now Blanca saw ( her chance to a place beside him. A child was borrowed and presented to Francesco by Blanca as his own. Then, to conceal her plot, the real mother was slain. A waiting woman . who knew of It was carried to a mountain pass and left there for dead. But adherents of Francesco's brother found this woman and heard her story before She died The brother was n cardinal and Jealous of Bianea's rise > to power. In some way she learned > that the cardinal knew her secret, and boldly confessed It to the grand duke. Francesco. Infatuated, forgave her ( and Insisted on treating the child as If It really had been his own. But Bianea's troubles were only multiplying, for Francesco's wife bore him . a son when all hope of his having an heir seemed lost. It looked as If Bianea's day was over. But she left Florence a year, then returned In greater favor than before. And soon the duchess died, her young son following her shortly afterward. There were hints of poison at Bianea's Instigation. However that may have been, the duke . married her within two months. The child first given to Francesco as an heir was legitimatized and It appeared that an unknown 'oundllng would some day rule Florence. But Blanca stlLI had one Implacable enemy, the Cardinal de Medld. In an effort to make friend* she invited him to a great feast and merry-making. Just what happened may never he known. Some historians nay that Blanca had prepared a poisoned tart for the cardinal, but that he substituted It for another tart, unpolsoned, and It was served to the duke. When Blanca saw her husband In deadly agony, It Is said she realized what had happened and ate the other half of the poisoned dainty. Both were soon dead and Blanca's enemy had won.
