THE CHAUTAUQUA TICKtr SALbARE BEING PItoHED BEST ATTRACTIONS ARE BOOK ED FOR THIS YEAR IN ItS HISTORY With the Chautauqua program that has bean arranged for this year, trie committee in cnarge of season tick et Bales should be able to dispose ol a capacity house in the next few days if the people of Martin county appre ciate a program that is educaUonul, interesting to the thoughtful, enter taining to those wishing amusement, and advisory to those wishing more knowledge as to the progress of the world in all its different channels. The Swarthmore Chautauqua asso ciation which will conduct the Chau tauqua in Williamston has expei.ded huge sums of money during the past year in enriching its lecturers in the knowledge of affairs of the world, so cially, financially and spiritually, ami its artists have bettered themselves to an extent that was not hoped foi by the officers of the association. This advancement in the artists and lectur ers comes to Wililamston this year ui the same old price, and the at tern: ants at these attractions will get mort for their money this year than ever before, though we have heard nt objection to the class attractions pre sented during the past years this means that all who buy season tick ets will get far more than their mon ey calls for. For the past few years the guaran tors have had to "make good" a small deficit, but this year should make turn in the tide of affairs of the guar antors. They should not have to pa; one cent of the expenses of the asso elation. The betterment of the ut tractions should bring people from al. sections of the country to Williams ton during the week of May 23rd t 28th, to witness the highest class at tractions for the money that have e er been witnessed here or anywher else. We do not have to except an; place on the quality of attractions a; we have the same class attractions that will visit the largest cities h the country. SERVICES AT bAtt4*r CMURUi A. V.

I forSveniboiP\ 0/ C 7 H May 23rd to 28th I C/ THE ENTERPRISE TON-UTTER CONTESTS HELP MAKE BfcTl 1 kiK H(H> KAlSfciK,^ Hog growing contests in which the object is io make a litter weign a t„n ' when six months old have demo., an a ed the soundness ol" the recommend ations on breeding, feeding, and man agement which have long been made by the various state experiment sta tions and the United States Depart ment of agriculture. In one of tnese contests conducted last year by the Indiana Live Stock Bleeders' associa tion 566 fanners enrolled and 33 of them raised 3i litters which weighed 2,000 pounds or more at the end of 180 days. The important facts for pig raisers to remember, says E. Z. Russeh, in charge of swine investigations lor the United States Department of agricul ture, is that all of the winning lit ters were farrowed and Buckled in clean quarters; 28 of the dams wer« pure bred, 6 were high grades, and 2 cross breeds; none of the 36 litters contained fewer than 10 pigs; and ah of them were farrowed by old sows. On the average, therefore, the pigs in these record litters wefghed 200 lbs. when they had reached the tender age of six months. Many states are holding similar con tests this year, says the department, and it is expected that the results will make a large number of converts to the principles and practices of bet ter breeding, feeding, and care, ami not only for hogs, but for all kinds of farm animals. FARMERS' BALLOTS — SHOW CONFIDENCE LARGE NUMBER OF FORMER DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED FOR ANOTHER YEAR - I I I IB The 88,000 tobacco farmers who have formed America's largest coop erative marketing association expres sed their approval of their leuders by electing a large majority of their di rectors to another term of office, ac cording to the returns which had reached Raleigh headquarters up to the night of May 16th, the eve of the annual meeting of stockholders. The old belt of North Carolina wut the only section in which the membe> growers o€ the association chose , complete"/ new set of directed. Thi was aowewhat in accordance with ex pectationr ar several of the asocia tion directors from the old belt had expressed a desire, to retire from the board. *n»l transfer the responsibili ties to other shoulders. Most of the new directors are dis tinguished as real "dirt farmers" a'- though identified in several case* with the most important banking interests of their section. The lstest returns from Virginia, from South Carolina and from east ern North Carolina indicate that fa majority of the directors from those sections who labored with the asso ciation during its first year of growth and accomplishment will be returned by the members of their districts. The tobacco association won its first jury trial and a far reaching decision last week at Charlotte court house. Virginia before Judge Hundley whrti the association received a verdict of 5c per pound liquidated damages, at torney's fees and court costs for to bacco grown by a non-member minor son of a member of the association. Similar rulings in favor of other cooperative marketing association" and recent news of the decision of the the case of Garretfwrfis hiiva further strength ened the organised Carolina and Vir ginia growers in their contention that the cooperative associations have prior elaim to all tobacco grown upon the land of members. ALMOST In London they were discussing ad vertising. 'Great stuff, these electric signs on Broad way ,"'said the Yan kee. "They've got one advertising Wrigley's gum, runs a whole block, 250,000 electric bulbs." "How many?" cried the astonish ed Londoner. Two hundred and fifty thousand,' answered the Yankee. The Londoner observed, "But I say, old chap, isn't that a bit conspicuous?" .r-The Kan-Sun. ' WILLIAMS'!UN. MARTIN COUNTY. SOUTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1923.

POISON MI ST UK USED TO PUT THE PESTY UOI.L WEEVIL ON TIIK KLN KINSTON, May lt>. —Regardless of the elTect that molasses may have on the boll weevil and of the merits of commercial preparations over which the big "time" merchants here have staged a wsir of words, poison in laige quantities must be used in the local group of counties this season if a "reasonable" cotton crop is to be produced, ail authorities have ag reed. Today a poll of authorities opinions indicated that giwreia la I ssdr, Jones, Dupliu, and other counties, at least in parts of them, are risking their fortunes on the hope that the weevil will not thrive here as in sections farther south. More than 5o per cent of the small farmers are taking tardily to tlie use of calcium arsenate, recommended by the gov ernment, or cultivating without it. They are "waiting to see." They are courting grave trouble later in the season, representative planters and agricultural experts have as*urn! them. The need for normal cotton and tobacco crops is imperative in thi* section. Business men are unanimous as to this. CATAWBA MAN DIES IN 4 MONTHS OK 100 Alfred Holler, of CUremaat, Who Served Ilia Country Well, Passes Onward NEWTON, May I&.—A)fred Holler, of Claremont, the oldest person in Catawba county, died yesterday. May 14, just four months short of 10) years. Last September he celebrated his ftyth birthday, surrounded by many descendants and neighbor. It was an ardent wish of his, as of the whole community, that he would livr | another year, and round out a cen tury. Mr. Holler was a man rather under the average size anil hot atrik ingly robust in ap|iearance, but up to a year or two ago was able to do a little farm work and visit with his neighbors. He was a Confederate soldier, » member of company K, 38th North "tVirolina, Capty.kN. K. Sigmon's com ■ puny, which, fh the 1 rill contests during the winter, of 1864, wa awarded the prise for being the liest • drilled company in Lee's army. He ! was a regular attendant of the sol ' diers' reunions in Newton, the one. , last year, when he was not well, bein- I I the only one he ever missed. Kfc.Pl Ul.lt AN PAPER SHOWS | UP WOOL IRL'ST GOUGING hi an interview given a New Yolk new spaper just beiore he (lepaitc. for a nuiulay at Europe, VV dli;,ni to Vtoou, piesuient 01 the Asnencan Wooten company, (general 1 / known u.s tut; wool trust), ueciaiov that his con cern's "business was on a very soui.u basts," and that there was a pros pect for a continuance of "prospe. ous conditions." Mr. Woods company recently al vanced the wages of its employes t> : 1- 1-2 per cent, and this was heralded as a proff that the country was on the toad to complete industrial re covery. But the Boston Transcript, a republican newspaper, published ii. the state in which the American Wool en company operates most of its mills, tells how this big corporation turned this advance in wages to 1U own advantage and increased thereby its own "prosperity." "At the time for the announcement (of the increase in wages) woolen goods were selling at about $2 a yam to the large jobbers ami an advance of 12 1-2 per cent in wages adileo about seven cents to the cost of man ufuctuie of a yard of cloth," says the Transcript. "Now comes the sequel. Last week the American Woolen mills announc ed an advance of 11 1-2 per cent on all their woolens, which means cents a yard on $2 goods, so tlutt ; with the practical philanthropy char i arteristic of woolen mills manage intent, Mr. W'qods pulls 15 per cents 1 a yard additional profit on all 're peat' orders." The Transcript's correspondent add that "it will be interesting to note how' nfuny dollars will be added U the price of a suit of clothes next fall." The woolen trust has already begui to take the toll the Fordney-McCum ber profiteer's tariff authorized it tt collect from the people and now i! has the oppoitunity to add and pyr amid an increase in wages to its en. ploy.es. Consumers of woolens, it - eluding the workers in Mr. Woods' mills, and not the big trust will real ly pay the advance in wages an' then some.

Direct appropriations of money nal urally is the easiest way of disliio utniK relief iunds, but experience shows this form so often is abusei wheie permanent relief is needed. Out of the most striking instances is as follows: A well known woman in the com munity lost all of her household ef fects. She had a well furnislta. home, but dtd not hava a piano. She always wanted a piano. One of the relief agencies, whose practice was to give only money, appropriated SBOO for this woman with which U buy furniture for her little cottage. .She bought a baby grpud piano. When it became known to the organ nation that every dollar of >their ap propriation had been spent on one article they asked the reason. The woman very frankly stated she had always wanted a piano; that that amount of money allowed her to get it, and that site knew the Red Cross would give Iter the furniture and other things she really needed any wajr. —The Red Cross Courier. •» The people are urged to rise and strike otf their shackles, but it wouli probably be more utteful to rise and go out in the back yard and hit the chopping block.

These were lite woiils of ivev. V» uliain Siewan, evui.geiist, at ihe Methodist church ti.u.suay night in a scatlung attack on modern sins. His sermon, "The general Judgment,' was one of the most touching appeals that have ever been made to a Wiiluunstou congre gation to Uee trout the wrath to conte. The preacher carried the tense aud lenee though the scenes of the judg nteiit and one could almost hear the words of the Judge. "All wil Ibe there, and there can be no escape," Kev*. Stewart declared, as he relieved himself of his coat. "Here cotues the fat, red faced, blear eyed, bloated oootlegger, in his lim ousine. 'Home James,' he cries, but 'James' is not at the wheel. The car slops in front of the throne. Beside the Judge sits tgpaten wives, starved babies, broken hearted mothers, and ail the saints of God. The awful Judge pronounces the sentence: 'De part troin me, ye cursed, into the ev erlasting lire,' and the wives, babies, mothers and saints cry 'Ameu!' to nis condemnation. "The husband comes into court, lie has hever given his hcait to God, and now is forced into 11 is presence. And his loving wife, and devoted children and saintly mother and father cry 'Amen!' to his condeinualioon." The dreadful scenes were pictured in such a touching and pathetic man ner that at the close of the service the altar was lined with penitents seeking salvation and making peace with God in the "old fashioned way." The church member comes in for his share of the sermons. The preach er condemns sin without fear or fa vor, regardless of what it has or in whom it is found. "If yen don't know you are a Chris tina and would be saved If yew shou d die at this moment, the place for you is the mourner's bench," he declared, and then proved his statement as al ways, with clear logic and undisput able quotations from the Word of God. He spoke of prejudice and ha tred, and urged the professing Chris tians to display a Christian spirit of forgiveness for their - enemies. "To return good for gootl is human," said Mr. Stewart, "and to return evil for for good is devilish; but to return good for evil is Christ-like and must be the policy of His followers." Tonight his subject will be "The Inside of the Cup." Services again Saturday night, Sunday morning and Sunday night. The doors of the church will lie open for membership Sunday morning and a large class is ex pected. This service will be a special flow er service and will be most impressive. The singing of Rev. and Mrs. Good child has ben a wonderful inspiration in all these services. These two ser vants of God have hte sweet assur ance of salvation written on their faces nd in their every word and movement. Their very prsence in the service is a blessing to those who know them.
