PROPOSE A BRIDGE T< ACROSS THE HUDSON Tunnel For Vehicle* Under Con- M traction to Be Completed By 1824. " ft' j New York, Aug. 13.?Projects for linking Manhattan with New Jersey "by a vehicular tunnel and a bridge Pe are expected to diminish the number of persons who reside on the island in below Central Park. ^ b K( The resident population of lower Manhattan decreased by 260,000 in f* Ko lianoAo n-f 1 qi o to 1920 and every ~ 7 ' re time a new building is erected it ^ seems to shrink still more. This is because the motive for nearly all on construction from Fifty-ninth street ^ down to the Battery is business, not bedrooms. ?Q New means of communication with ^ New Jersey are expected to result in ^ further business demands upon low' er Manhattan's limited space. wj. New Jersey and New York are now fe: linked only by ferries, tube trains yy] and one railroad tunnelled beneath Br the Hudson. wii P The Vehicular tunnel built by pub- fu: He fmnds of New York and New Jer- is sey is expected to be completed by cm 1924. Construction of the approaches Sto the tube was begun several months Th ago. It leaves Manhattan Island gu downtown, at a point below Four- Mc teenth street. te , The proposed bridge, which private to [ interests are promoting, would cost gai ; $200,000,000. A corporation has been ' : organized and is seeking capital. the This bridcre would rise from New we York near Fifty-ninth street and she I escend into New Jersey at Wee-! ] hawjten. Most of the ferries and all wo : > the tubes are below this point, but pin the growth of business in New York gui has already driven out many dwell- she f. ings as far north as 59th street and she substituted office and loft structures. The bridges' lower deck would ac- ^ commodate twelve railroad tracks while on the upper span there would tea be room for sixteen vehicular path- *an ' ways, four trolley lines and two ~ f broad promenades. Supporting towers on either end of the over-water : span would be taller than the Wool- r E- worth building. , Jn addition to these pathways be- g tween the two states, a third is proposed in a bill introduced in congress ?01 I to give a private corporation permis- jn Bion to bujld a pontoon bridge across ^QX the Hudson at Yonkers, just above an( New York city. Promoters of this an( scheme point out that the vehicular me tunnel may not be ready . for five ^ years, while it would take even long- t^e er to erect the proposed bridge at jj C Fifty-ninth street, but pontoons na, could be strung across the water SU? % quickly. * cri CONSCIENCE HURTS HIM siti I Moultrie, Ga., Aug. 13.?A Pavo st* man walked into the general offices ^ of the Georgia Northern Railroad ^r; j here Friday and paid 51 cents he said on i he had been owing the companysince -an( ' July 1917. He said the money was for a ticket he bought from Pavo to Pr< I Moultrie and redeemed after the (j- conductor failed to take it up. His S1^ conscience had been hurting him for K-. months, he said, and added that he felt like he would never have any an( ?- v more peace until he made full resti- an( L tutoin. ^*UI boi v The man declined to give his name, saying just call me Smith, j that is as good as anything. It was the first conscience money the railroad ever received, it was said, but ., i Ac an official of the company stated that if any other "Smiths" were worried ^ by their conscience they would be ^ cordially received if they came in to j I* pay up* of NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS H< MEETING be A meeting of the stockholders of| Abbeville Motor Car Company, a | ch corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of Ai the State of South Carolina, is called to meet in the office of Wm.

H LOWER RAIL RATES WILL HELP FARMERS Stronger Hope for Better Price* In Agricultural Markets Justified by Reductions Washington, Aug. 13.?Strong hope for better prices in the agricultural markets is justified by reductions in the railroad rates on grain for export already in effect and proposed, according to a statement issued at the White House tonight. Recent reductions in the export rate on grains between Chicago and New York, the statement said, will ibe followed by sweeping reviaoins of grain rates generally including those from Mississippi river points and on the lines to the gulf in order that the entire country may fully share in the benefits. "In general," the statement continued, "advances In freight rates are passed on to th? consumer by adding them to the selling price. But in grains wh^s domestic - price is dominated by the foreign price of the exported surplus, the producer suffers when rates go up and benefits when they go down. Therefore though the exports represent a minor share of the total grain production the lowering of export rates affects the entire crp. These reductions of rates, together with the .arrangements for financial as3itance to export trade and the assuranoe that Europe is going to need extraordinary quantities of American foodstuffs, enstitute altogether a justification for strong hope that the tendency in the agricultural markets will for some time be decidedly to ward better prices." ANOTHER "MEANEST MAN" Augusta, Ga., Aug. 13.?D. R. Petit, advertising manager of The <Chroniiole, has discovered another "meanest man in the world." . A middle aged man m a serge suit of clothes and wearing a derby hat went up to one of the advertising windows of The Chronicle and declared he wished to have a notice in the paper saying: "I won't be responsible for any of my wife's debts. "All right sir," the clerk said briskly. "That'll cost you $1." "Paid," said the stranger. He proceeded to expla/in: "My wife and I have been sepa?j.-J -f i A:? ?i r?l*5U iur iX lime anu uvw out a fixing to die and I'll not pay her funeral expenses." As he went out of the door, he added: "One dollar's a lot better than $200."

WALLACE HARRIS 4 LAWYER Room 204 CITY HALL Plumbii and Heah REASONABLE PRICES Ralph GETS MORE INDORSEMENT Encourafemeih Come* From Spartanburg and Barnwell. -Columbia, August 15.?Reports from Spartanburg arid Marion counties received at the headquarters of the South Carolina Division of the American Cotton Association and the South Carolina Cotton Growera' Cooperative Association were of a most encouraging nature, it was said today. Good progress is being made in both counties in securing signatures to the cooperative marketing contracts, it was declared. Hearty approval of the movement was contained in a letter received at headquarters yesterday from Senator A. M. Kennedy of Barnwell county. "The press accounts of the enthu siasm with which the cotton farmers of our state are subscribing to the cooperative marketing plan is intensely gratifying and it is without any reservation whatever that I heartily indorse the movement," wrote Senator Kennedy, banker, merchant and cotton dealer. "I have never engaged in the cultivation of cotton to any considerable extent (myself but have all of my business life been handling this product as a dealer and have Jong realized that without te cooperation of the farmers in an effort to improve the marketing conditions, the producer would never get the value of his product." Harold C. Booker, secretary, announced today that signed contracts representing 1,222 bales were received yesterday from Marion county. GREAT BOOZE CELLAR BRINGS BIG PROBELM 265 I Polimirf Rnilrlinor VJIU V V/X b JL/wuvum^ Vienna Street Turner Washington, Aug. 13.?An overstocked national booze cellar that nobody knows how to empty is one of the unusual heritages of Uncle Sam under the prohibition law. The anamalous story of how, in a land of drought, liquor obtained by confiscation. has become a white elephant on the 'hands of the government was told to the cabinet today by Attorney General Daugherty, arousing a discussion which led nowhere except to a decision to investigate further. The attorney generaf told thel president and department heads that large sums of much needed government funds were being eaten up in storage house rentals and policing expenses to keep liquor that the government did not want. An even greater economic waste would result if the liquor is- poured into the sewer and it was suggested that a way might be found to extract the alcohol for commercial purposes or to turn the liquor itself to some legitimate use. The law says how it is to be "confiscated" but doesn't say how to dispose of it. RAT BUILDS NEST OF MONEY Anderson, S. C., Aug. 13.?Ostentation and a vulgar display of wealth must have been the motive of a family of rats which built their "home" entirely of United States currency, the bills being of one, five and ten dollar denominations. The rat nest was found in the roof of the old Bradley home in Anderson county which is being remodeled. Strange to say, there was no trash in the nest, the ball being composed entirely of shredded money. Miser-like, the old I rat had died in the midst of his wealth, for his skeleton was found I in the middle of the "expensive little home."
