There From All Sections Of
The State
Summerville.—That tobacco grow-
Ins In cfiatoogn county 1b going to
prove to bo one of the moat profit*
able Industries yet undertaken Is tho
opinion of tho more than 100 farm
ers who this year planted tobaooo as
an experiment.
Tho tobacco crop, which Is of tho
bright leaf variety, Is now being cured
In the various curing houses which
have been built In the county under
direction of export tobacco men, and
the growers are greaUy encouraged
ovor tho business. It la estlmatod
that between 126,00(1 and 160,000
pounds of very high-grade tobacco
wip bo cured In the county this year.
Nearly 150 acres of tobacco waa
planted by the farmers of the county.
Despite the fact that It rained
throughout the season when tho seeds
were being sown and the plants trans
planted, the work went on Just the
same, and the result Is that the lar
gest crop of tobacco la the history
of the county Is being harvested.
It Is thought the tobacco crop for
noxt year will bo greatly increased,
and IndicaUons are that this Industry
will take the place of cotton to a
largo oxtent, the growers this year
declaring that their tobacco crop
was the easiest made they hod ever
had any experience with, being much
less trouble than cotton.
Tobacco growing this year was
mado possible by the progressive
spirit of Colonel John D. Taytor, of
Summerville, who became greatly In
terested In tobacco growing and se
cured the services of two expert to
bacco mon, one from Virginia and one
from North Carolina. B la said tta
tobacco grown here is as staple and
of as good quality as that grown In

BEMOLL SHOOTS
DOWHJWO MEN
ALLEGED THAT THE FRENCHMEN
TRIED TO CHOKE DRAFT
EVADER
KIDNAPING WAS ATTEMPTED
Frenchmen Conceded Selves In Fugi
tive'* Hotel While Others Were
Outside in Automobiles
Eberbach Daden.—Grover Cleve
land Bergdoll, the American draft
evader, shot down and killed one man
and jsounded another recently when
mon ooncealed In his hotel apartment
seised him In a kidnaping attempt.
Two other men waiting outside In
an old American army automobile
with an American shield on the side
were arrested after being menaced
by a crowd. Tho German authorities
said one was an American army lieu
tenant and the other a Russian
prince.
Both of Bergdoll's assailants were
Identified &b Frenchmen, in the serv
ice of the Americans.
Bergdoll said the men seized him
but that he succeeded In breaking
free and then drew a revolver and
fired.
The police arrested the two Ameri
cans In order to save -them from the
crowd which threatened to lynch
them. Those In the hotel said that
the two men who went Inside tried to
choke the draft evader.
The reported attempt of Americans
to kidnap Bergdoll and spirit him out
sldo the Jurisdiction of Germany, was
the second sinoe he escaped from
military authorities in the United
States In 1920 and sought refuge
abroad.
Bergdoll and hia brother, Irwin,
aroro tho most notorious draft evaders
In this country during the world war.
Irwin served a sentence at Leaven
worth and only recently was released
to return to the home of his wealthy
mother, Mrs. Emma Bergdoll In Phila
delphia.
Grover made several attempts to
escape the oustody of federal authori
ties. At last, while he was on leave
at his mother's home, in custody of
soldiers, he made good his escape.
After he had escaped the surveil
lanoe of his guards he drove away
In a big automobilo, across several
Mates and Into Canada, eluding cap
ture and getting aboard a ship bound
for Europe, although all police of the
pities through which he passed and
hundreds of secret service men were
bending every effort to make him
prisoner.
The escape was so sensational and.
Bergdoll so openly taunted the govern
ment about the ease with which he
accomplished It that a congressional
Inquiry was held, those responsi
ble severely reprimanded.
Hardly woe the fugitive comfort
ably set up in a hotel In Bbervach,
Baden, whon early In 1921. five men
attempted to abduct him and his con
federate, Isaac Steecher. An Ameri
can girl was woundod In the ensuing
pistol battle.
Two of the would-be kidnapers
were reported to be American military
Intelligence operators. One, Carl!
Neuf, was sentenoed to a German
prison for IS months. Ho later was
released, enlisted In the American
forces on the Shine, and returned to
‘.his country late In 1921.
Mexican Recognition Awaited Harding
Austin, Texas. —Details for the reo- 1

A. Norris, chairman of the Texas
x>ard of water engineers, from Mexi
cans in El Paso.

the lowor house of the Cuban con
jross, after an all night session, pro
vides for the consolidation of all the
