F k; In his charge to the grand jury at ' a recent session of court in Greenville. U C, Judge John H. Johnson deplor ed condititons existing in the United States in general and in South Caro lina in particular. The carrying of concealed weapons, disregard of the prohibition law. il- K literacy and ignorance, the tendency of the people to confuse liberty with li " cense, failure of petty jurors to do g; theier duty, slowness of the movement of the wheels of justice, operation of F. the course under ancient criminal law D and failure of the people to carry their Sj. t religion into everyday life were the r' jj causes Judge Johnson gave for the pi w volume of criminal cases which today 5? " .clutter the dockets of the courts all | over the country. K People will always carry concealed EJ[‘ weapons until the federal government Be, - makes it unlawful to send them through the mail. Many States have £ laws governing the sale of firearms . but the laws are useless so long as | 2 people living in the States with these la’ws can get what they want from jj, s ra ail order houses. Disregard for the prohibition of law Bfc'*' is a national problem. The law can not be enforced until the public wants » it enforced. It is not difficult to get I people to testify against an alleged B- ' thief, but it is seldom that a man will >v * go into court and give the name of five Bp man from whom he purchased liquor. 11*’ i* Illiteracy and ignorance go hand in hand with crime as they have nl ways done. Better schools are eco nomically sound for this reason if no frl - other. y. “ w Persons who confuse liberty with Sri, license do so deliberately. They are pi**, seeking some excuse and they know |s||gfall well when they talk about liber- E&> ties being taken away from them they ,‘will get the ear of ignorant people !> 1 who know no better. * Petit jurors too many times are too jj. * lenient, and in many rustatu.es they ;make the fatal mistake of convicting a man and tlien signing his pardon, is' They better had turned him loose in |. the first place. ■fey Speedy trials will do much to deter crime. So will the certainty of pun- Mr#/' Isbinent. The average law violator seeks every isissible means of post age*- ]»oniug his trial. He knows the long er er he waits flic better chance of fs ayiv*. cape he has. When our courts begin Kg.-ve to function m that punishment comes E- in a majority of the cases we will Bgi# have fewer cases. The punishment Iff; need not be so severe; it should, be certain. $45 Many judges are opposed to the BfisK.iWS! system of trying cases. Or at g* ’least they think the matter should be ■Mb, by%. judge. - The li£tteg system speeds ■U up the work of the court. although I W : -Maiiy persons think it is vesting too I touch authority in the court. 2» Too much Sunday religion has al ‘ways been a curse to the world. We py > • ' \ 1 should have clean dockets if we could 1 get the people to practice seven days [in the week the tenents of the Golden Rule. * But can we change conditions? That’s the vital question. We see the faults.. To find a remedy should , be a source of much thought by the , American people. NO AGREEMENT* REACHED. The public regrets the fact that rep resentatives of the miners and opera tors could not reach an agreement whereby the hard coal miners could return to work. Conferences were held in New York City for several weeks but after each conference the representatives announced their in ability to reach a settlement. Os course each side blames the other and no doubt each is to blame. Suffering is reported in the mining centers but there conditions must not be as bad as pictured in some stor ies, for if there were real hunger and need the miners would be more in clined to accept the compromise offer ed. The operators are determined not to raise the wages of the miners and the miners are just as determined to remain idle until they get the increase demanded. That is the real bone of contention although other differences are reported. It is the same old ques tion of wages. If tlje miners are giv en what they want in money the oth er matters will be easily adjusted. Governor Pfnchot sought to find a solution to the problem but his efforts availed nothing. He offered compro mises enough, with each side making some concesions, but the wage differ ences were in the way as they have been at tile New York conferences. A Real Chance For the Democrats New York World. There is talk in Washington that Senator Simmons, ranking Democrat ic member of tile finance committee, plans to go the Republicans one bet ter and propose that the forthcoming cut in taxes by increased from $330.- 000,000 to $450,000.00. Senator Jones, another Democrat, would like to go the Republicans one better still. He favors tax cut of $525,000,000. Why not $750,000,000? Meantime, in the Ways and Means committee of the House, Representative Rainey, anoth er Democrat, lias announced his oppo sition to tile American debt settle ment with Italy; Representative Old field. still another Democrat, has de nounced the Italian interest rates as “ridiculously low:” and there are per sistent reports that out of the Ital ian settlement the Democratic party in Congress will seek to make capital for the next election. The Democratic party, we belive, could not do worse for itself than to pursue the aeties outlined in these Washington despatches. There are two major fiscal issues before Con gress : our own debt to our own citi zens (with which is tied up the ques tion of tax reduction) and the obliga tions of our European debtors. On both issues, if these despatches fore cast Democratic policy, the Democrat ic party is jumping to conclusions. It seems to think that simply by swinging the ax on taxes more reck lessly than the Republicans it can outmanoeuvre the Republicans for popularity. It seems to think that by demanding of Italy something near er to "the last red cent” it can appeal' as the protector of the American in vestor. In both cases, we believe, the policy thus indicated is short sighted. That party which insists upon prompt payment of the nation al debt instead of squandering the whole of a surplus on a tax cut will eventually reap most prestige in the tax issue. That party which insists upon generous and farsighted terms for our foreign debtors, recognizing that a really prosperous Europe is of more value to us than a theoretical last red cent, will reap most prestige in the matter of the debts. The present attitude of these Demo crats f)i Washington is especially short-sighted because a real oppor tunity for leadership is open to tk( Democratic party on both issues. (I) lii taxation, the Democratic party ran agree with Mr. Mellon that a cut should be held at $330,000,000 lor the sake of applying the balance of t lie surplus to debt reduct roll, anc! di rect its efforts to a more democratic division of the benefits of the cut, with emphasis on reducing eonaamp tion taxes rather than high surtaxes. (2 1 In the matter of the debited the Democratic party can argue that MY. Mellon's logic applies to aH onr Eu ropean debtors, nndaemaml a prompt and generous settlement with France. The opportunity for leadership is there, ami it is a splendid oppor tunity. Have the Democrats in Con gress will enough and brains enough to. take it? . V Name Your s^an. The Union Republican, of Winston- Salem. last week had the following to say qf a minister of that city, but why didn't the paper name the preacher? j “A, minister in one of the Local churches Sunday night sjwdled a real ly brilliant sermon by an iincaUsd for slur on (he women, during the course of his sernum. There was absolutely no excuse for him to go out of the way and sa.v Hint 'when you a man anything it goes into one ear and out 4t the other, while if you tell a woman anything it goes into both ears aud out at her mouth.’ This had nothing whatever to do with the sermon being delivered and was a gratuitous fling at the womeiy who numbered fully two-thirds of his congregation, tb*t was whoHy uncalled for. The women are' getting tired of being shirred at by public speukeßh both from the pul pit and the platform and some of these days one of the more forward, hope she d*e«. Lord hasten the day for we are with the Wouiea. God bless them, in resenting these uncall ed for thrusts against their sex made ■ in n place where they are not in posi j tion to defend themselves." To Compel Reinstatement in Ministry 1 Bishop Brown to Sue Episcopal Church > ' i ! • L ■ New York Times. 1 The Rev._ William Montgomery > Brown, former Episcopal Bishop of Arkansas, who was from his ministry in the \ Episcopal Church by the House of Biafaopa at New Orleans last October, plans to stort suit to force the Episcopal - Church to reinstate him, it was . learned last night. t Bishpp Brown came here a week 1 ago froth Cation, Ohio, and pnnee s that time has been engaged in pre j paring the action- He would not ’ say last night just ,what the basis of his complaint would be, but t was learned that suit would prob ably he brought in the courts here , ‘ within a month. In the meantime Bishop Brown t ABOUT GROWING COTTON 1 It Behooves Fanners to Look to Oth er Sources of -Revenue.—About Kudsu. Monroe Enquirer. * I see by the papers where the an nual January discussion of cotton! acreage reduction has begun. Such j talk gets the South nowhere, for in j the event reduction in acreage is made ! each individual farmer will determine j in his heart to produce more per acre. \ And Texas, as always, will produce | every bale she possibly can. Another fifteen million-bale crop! would depress the price of cotton be low 15 cents a pound. Such eventual-; ity is not beyond a possibility. I I With such outlook it behooves Un-I ion county farmers to look to other I sources of revenue than cotton. With cows producing milk, it is an easy matter to feed chickens and pigs. But cows must be fed. and how, to pro duce milk for the market, and for the chickens and pigs? Kudzu is tlie answer. And any Un-1 ion county farmer who has plenty of j good pasturage and quantities of tine hay will be alfnost independent of I cotton's fitful fluctuations. The En-1 quirer has gone to the trouble of find- j out about this wonder plant, and with ■ whieh G. A. Marsh, of Charlotte, has met with such amazingly flue results. | Kudzu is a true legume, s milar to i velvet beans, having all the soil-build-! ing qualities possessed by any other! legume. It is a native of Japan and does not seek anywhere in the United States. The only method of propagat- j ing in this country is by setting out the rooten plants. This should be done as early as possible while tile plants ; are in a dormant stage. The plant propagates itself by send-; ing out runners which throw out roots at the joint, and take hold of the: ground, each joint becoming a new | plant. This makes cultivation neces-; sary the first year to keep the ground j clear of weeds and grass just ahead ! of the runners. Kudzu is the most vigorous growing, plant known, forming a thick mass 1 whieh grows from 3 to 5 feet high. One great advantage about Kudzu is that it does not have to be cut at any certain time like other hay crops. It can be cut whenever the growth and time suits you. In-keeps on grow ing until it is killed in the fall by frost, and it comes up from the roots in the spring with the first warm days. ! Furthermore it does not fall flat on the ground when cut with a mower.' but remains standing, due to its vin- j ing habit of growth, thus permitting | a circulation of air through the cut j hay which cures it very rapidly. Kudzu is said io grow well in all: : parts of the Unjjed States, on any kind of well-drained soil without being fertilized, also grows on acid soil with out lime. It does very well on land that is too poor for any other hay 1 crop and'rapidly improves the soil by ; drawing nitrogen' from the a : r. It j : will grow well on rough, hilly ground j ! that has been considered worthless and j makes it a j>rofitahle portion of the 1 farm. The roots penetrate so deeply as to make proof against dry weather. Kudzu does not resemblq Johnson grass or Bermuda, it can he destroyed . by cutting off the crown with a disc j plow in hot dry weather and exposing , them to the sun or by heavy pasturing i with lmgs that are not rung, they will : root up the plants ami eat them. ■ Kudzu analyzes higher than any : other hay grown, and stock like it - better. Kudzu lias never hern trou -1 bled with any disease or insects and , when roots are planted, there are no ■ inoculation problems to contend with. The planting time is from January s until the 10th of May. But it should : be planted as soon as the ground will - do to work in. Plants should be set : about five feet apart. Kudzu wiK pasture from two to s four dairy rows per acre from frost i - to frost. The sooner you get started • in Kudzn th* quicker you will solve; i the food problem. Kudzu will not bloat stock a that spring. He already has ten or t twelve acres growing. E Rogers Hornsby, the sensational I, batsman of the IH.

E. Thomas of Love County, j Oklahoma : j ‘’Friday we vkdted club boys in ‘the neighborhood of Burneyville and I Jim Town. We took dinner with J. iM. of Burneyvil'e. During 'the noon hour one of the little girls, who had been picking cotton during j the morning, tuned the radio receiver lin on the Dallas broadcasting «ta | tiofi and got an explanation or the J next Sunday school lesson. Then we I listened to a very excellent talk on the heef cattle industry and then re ceived the day’s market report. This 1 was the first time we ever realized jwst what the radio meata* to the j farmer and his family. The entire ; family was interested in what was j going on and what k means to them to be in touch with the world around | them. We were informed by the , children of the family that they ; could get Denver and other cities ; with all ease. We are forever for the radio for farm families.” j Mr. is right. The radio, is fa marvel and a boon to folk.s, but it is, almost, a godsend to our farm | folks. Formerly, for example, only a j relatively few people could hear the ! world’s best music—'the great sin ! gers. violinists, organist*, land the best band* and orchestras of the nation. In those days, to get the | privilege of hearing such music, one ’ had to take several days time and a pile of money for a railroad trip to Xew York or Chicago, array himself in a dress suit and a collar more un ‘comfortable than a mule ought to ! wear and buy high-priced seats in | fashionable theater*. Now, on the other hand; the farmer, after a hs£d j day’s work, can take off his shoes. ; light his pij>e and summon a dozen ■ great musicians or a dozen bands ! and orchestras performing in a dozen | different cities to entertain him— I and if oj>c set of entertainers doesn’t j suit Mr. Farmer's fancy, he simply turn tkbm down and calls another. Aiaddiiii with his wonderful lamp was no more truly maser of his ser vants, nor had a power more magical or mysterious. Great indeed is radio \ Not only doe* it summon all the daughtens of music for our entertainment, but, it I also brings instant news of ,*a. tlu> [ j world's market- places, the views of j great thinkers and orators, the wit j and humor of famous comedians, : and eveu (he bedtime, fireside story to add happiuews to the littleet ones ! before they again find fellowship j with angels in slumberland. And since radio, fortunately, may be had informs suited to almost anybody’s pocketbook, The Progressive Farmer is glad to echo the sentiment of G. E. Thomas : "We are forever for the radio for , farm families.” “Your hair wants cutting badly, ! sir." s-anl a barber, insinuatingly, to a customer. "No, it dopant',” replied the man in the chair: "it wants cutting nice ly. You cut it badly last dime.” He’s so dumb he thinks a safe! cracker :s a social tea biscuit. CHARLES PICKLE.

Impulsively she walked to the triple mirror and stood" before it. How slim and vir ginal appeared the straight shaft oJ 2 her body, shining through the filmy drapery of her sheerest chiffon n nighty 1 It seemed so young, so un sullied, surely only in the tortured twistings of a disordered mind had :- it been exposed to the post-Vol - steadian night life of Long Island o Sound! '^ e Gradually she perceived her un n covered head. What if she should, . in the morning, open the door to . her aunt or a tattling maid without t remembering to guard her secret? 1 There was a long linen runner on s the bureau. She snatched it, bound t around her head, and tied a great e butterfly bow above her brows. The t confection, whjch looked like one e °f those wet-me-not bathing caps c you see at Deauville, was almost as - fetching as had been the turban be , fore its ruin. Her mind at rest, she slipped . back into bed; drew the sheet up to : her chin, and snuggled her face into . the pillow. Now, cradled in the memories of her girlhood, soothed : by contact with the homely objects 1 she had known all her life—the pon | derous mahogany furniture, the an . cicnt hocked rug. her little four s posted bed with its fluted pillars, the r patched quilt folded over its foot— l she coul-J believe she had never been • through the torment of tfie forego ing night. In fact, its events seem ed more than ever improbable. She closed her eyes sleepily, her lips curved in an adorable childlike smile, and she drew a contented sigh. The next instant she was again sitting rigidly erect, staripg into the shadows of the room. A sound only half heard can be more terrifying than a near-by ex plosion, and it was such a sound, faint and ominous as the ticking of a death watch in the wall, that had galvanized Connemara into a sit ting posture. She held her breath and listened until her back ached, then she let her head down to the pillow, and listened some more. YesC" -he heard it agaiiv—a stealthy foot step in the hall or somewhere in the house below. ..

In the second place, the . thought name to ’her that perhaps t only unnecessary scandal would l arise from rousing the whole bouse. . She was by nature innocent, and yet . no fool.
