R. G. BROWN ACTING HIGHWAY ENGINEER Resignation of Charles H. Morefield Is Accepted CULMINATION OF FIGHT Body to Grant $250,009 Aid for Com pletion of Ashley River Bridge Columbia, Feb. 14.-The State Highway Commission met here today and accepted the resignation of Charles H. Morefield, State highway engineer, and elected R. G. Brown, field engineer, as acting State high way engineer. Mr. Morefield's resig nation takes effect March 1. This is the culmination of a fight which has been raging on the high way commission in both houses, and, according to tose on the inside, it will save the commission. Claude N. Sapp of Richland, is preparing a bill for the ways and means committee revamping the law in regard to the commission, so that it will provide, it is said, for the election of one member of the commission from each of the seven congressional districts, to be elect ed by the county delegation on the expiration of the terms of the pres ent members. Likewise, it is under stood the bill abolishes the office of executive secretary to the commis sion. A delegation from Charleston Coun ty appeared before the commission and asked $250,000 of aid for the com pletion of the Ashley river bridge, and $75,000 for the Charleston-Savan nah highway. The commission decided to provide funds for the first project, as soon as funds become available, but it post poned action on the second request. Berkeley County asked for $15,000 for the road between Moncks Cor ner and Bonneau, which was ap proved. The plea of Dorchester county for $13,000 in federal aid to assist in .building four miles of road on the Charleston-Augusta highway, be tween Reevesville and Dorane, was granted, the funds to be supplied as needed. The request of Senator Padgett, who appeared for his county, Colic ton that the county authorities be authorized to use for highway pur poses the unexpended balance of the license fund of 1921 and.that of 1922 not needed for maintenance, was granted. The request of Beaufort County that it be given $31,000 in federal aid for the road between Beaufort and Pocotaligo was approved, and the funds will be advanced to the county when available. A large amount of routine work was accomplished by the commis sion. As the result of the State high way commission necepting the req ignation, Charles O. Hearon, a mem ber of the commission and editor of the Spartanburg Herald, has mailed his resignation from the commission to Governor Cooper. RED CROSS PUBLIC HEALTH NOTFES Two more schools have been in spected since the last edition of The Manning Times, namely, Jordan, and Baywood. It is more than gratifying to find teachers and pupils interest ed in their health and trying to live up to a higher standard than in pre vious years. In both o? the schools the general condition has improved since last year. This speaks well for the educational work being done by the nurse, and the untiring efforts of the teachers. Although there are many phases which needl improving, still there is a gradual awakening as regardls health needs andl the nurse is highly encouraged in her wvork. The summary report of the school at Jordan is as followvs: N o. inspected .....- _...................57 No. vaccinated-..._-..--------_._-..5 No. having dlefective eyes--_........14 No. having dlefective ears-_._-- _....-3 No. having enlarged tonsils-.... 24 No. having nasal obstructions-......

Appropriation B: $5,671,6& Citadel and Medical Colleges son Get Increases---Toi to $1,05 Columbia, Feb. 14.-The general appropriation bill, carrying an aggre gate of $5,671,684.47, for the opera tion and maintenance of State depart ments, institutions and agencies 3 r 1922, was introduced in the House cf Representatives by the ways ant means committee tonight. The bill's. total is $1,095,450.83 less than the general appropriation measure of 1921. The various departments and institutions asked for $8,087,542.95, and of this amount $6,466,240.15 was recommended by the Governor as chairman of the budget commission. The ways and means committee has seen fit to reduce the clerical help of the State receiving more than $1,200 annually 10 per cent of their salary except in a few cases. The salaries of State offices are not reduced, nor do the members of the Legislature cut their own sala ries. In at least one case, that of the corporation clerk in the office of the Secretary , of State, the posi tion is entirely abolished. No , ap propriation is made for extra audit ors under the Comptroller General to review county books. The wages of all porters in the State House were reduced, some of them 50 per cent.

By the first of May we want 100 per cent of the cotton grown in this County signedl up with the South Carolina Cotton Growvers Association. There are many advantages to be obtained by selling co-operatively a fewv of wvhich are: 1. In securing the prioper grades. We are robbed of thousands of dol 1sars in grades. Through no fault of our local cotton buyers, however. 'rhey are helpless in this matter for the reason that they nre required to guarantee their weights and grades wvhich are fixed by some speculator or exporters, whose practices in this business is familiar to our local men. For example, a local buyer purchases a lot of cotton applying the Govern ment Standard Grade, all of which he is required to guarantee to per-feet a sale. When the lot is regraded the jocal buyer is presented with a claim for default in grade which claim lhe is compelled to pay or get out of the cotton business. The local buyer has but one alternative which is to apply gradles by which he can sell. Who pays the cost? The methods employ ed in grading is equally true of ill Total 5.47 as Reported Are Cut---Carolina and Clem al Reductions Amount 15,450.85 State Medical College, $12,000; John de in Howe School, $19,000; School for Deaf, Dump and Blind, $55,000; Superintendent of Education, $350, 000; State Hospital, $85,000; State Penitentiary, $10,000; Industrial llome for Boys, $56,000; Reforma tory for Negro Boys, $18,000; law enforcement fund, $14,000; State Board of Health, $71,000; State warehouse commission, $16,000; State electrician, $33,000; State Highway Commission, $44,000; Confederate In irmary, $31,000. Of the colleges the university gets an increase of $7,000 over the ap propriation for 1921; Clemson Col lege an increase of $16,000, and the State Colored College an increase of $4,000. Winthrop was reduced about $2,000. Among the items allotted the uni versity was $2,000 for plans and es timates on a women's dormitory, to be erected there in the future. The entire building program of the Cita dlel, amounting to $386,100, w^.s dis allowed. The House bill will come up for second reading in the House tomor row.

By employing Co-opera tive methods we pro0pose to fix the gradles. 2. Th e ad van tage derived lfrom selling in bulk is common knowledge to all. Wheni cotton is bunched it wvill be segragated into the various grades and sold at a premium. A lot of~ good and bad cotton lumpedl together in many instances sell for the price of the inferior. 3. The loss by damage on farms, which is no small item, wvill be eli. minatedl. A hale of cotton belonging ,to the Association wvill be carried from the gin to the dlepot or a warehouse and the owner will receive a bill of lading or a wvarehouse receipt wvhich will bear a grade that is final. The gradle being fixed by a classer em ployedl by the Association. The bill of lading or wvarehouse receip~t will be carried to a bank and one-half the value of same 1)0 drawn in cash and the balance will be settledl as the var jous pools are sold. This will amount to the immediate sale of one-half of all the cotton grown by Association Members immediately upon (101ivery and at the same time retention by them of one-half equity in the whole. Just think of what it would have meant to us as a whole, had this method been adopted in the past. Texas and Oklahoma are marketing quite a bit of their 1021 crop Co aperatively and at a premium of from ten to fifteen dollars per bale. North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. Minsisna.. tElRESENTA'i'IVE CURTIS EXPLAINS HIS POSITION Columbia, S. C., Feb. 14, 1922. Mr. I. 1. Appelt, Editor, Manning Times, Manning, S. C. )ear Sir: In last week's issue of your paper here appeared an article copied from he Columbia State of a few days pre nious under the caption: "Charges arought against county officers," and ;hese statements are attributed to Eleprosentative Hanahan and myself. Some of my remarks are enclosed n quotation marks, which would lead he reader to believe that these were ny exact words. I do not remember ny oxact words as the debate was not written one, and I have stated to ;he officers of my County in person hat I did not intend to charge them a my remarks. The statements along .his line were in answer to a question tsked me from one of the members is to whether or not this practice ob ;ained in my County. I wish to say ;hat if my remarks were sufficient to e construed into a charge, I did not to intend and was indeed very unfor unate in the selection of my re narks. I notice further that the Sheriff of Clarendon County has requested that prove these statements. In reply Lo the Sheriff, I wish to say that since lid not intend to "charge," I have 'io desire to prove and can see noth ng to be gained by offering any such wroof other than to gain my point. Some days after the debate on the Evans Resolution in the House of Representatives, a former Magistrate it Gable saw fit to push himself into the scene and charge me with an at tempt to defeat a tax saving measure by making unfounded statements. To this gentlemen, I wish to say that I iave not seen fit to get into a news paper argument with him because he wishes to take issue with me; but I lo suggest that he make himself more familiar with these so-called tax sav ing measures instead of accepting the mere statement that they are tax-sav mig. Further, I appreciate his per sonal reference and it serves only to make me strive harder to do my duty iere (House of Representatives) as I wee it, and to accomplish more, if pos sible, at home. I enclose herewith a copy of Mr. Evan's remark which appeared in th Columbia State several lays subse rluent to the former article. Mr. Evans was the author of the Resolu tion which I tried hard to defeat, and he as the author states that he did hot understandl my remarks as a Charge against the ollicers of Im'. County. -c is, therefore, a bit more charitable than some of the others. Dn the otherhand, I do not wish to bIe understood as retrenching from my position on the question of the Evans Resolution. Yours very truly, larohl C. Curtis. .1. .1. Evans of Bennettsv;!le, rising to a point of personal privilege in the house of representatives last night, stated that it had come to his atten tion that the "ire of certain oficinls >f Clarendon county" had been arous ed against Representative 1[. C. Cur tis by an incident in the debate of Evans' resolution to permit the ac 'eptance of pleas of guilty by circuit judges at chambers in all cases except capital felonies. 'This criticism, Mr. Evans said might have been occasioned by hip reply to Mr. Curtis' argument on tlt question and he therefore wantled t( take the opportulnity to corireit the impression of these oflicials if possi ble. 'T'he statement of Mr. (urt is a> understood by him, Mr. Evans said was not. intended to apply to ('laen. lon ('ounty alone. "'I hol Mr. C urtis in as high~t regr is I do anty membeir of this body,' Mr'. Evans sa id. ''The voice of criti (ismi iraisedl aga is t himi as I set'i is uncalled for and un iust and may have beii suggestedl by my reply t Mr'. Curt is. My reply, itself, ma.n have been uonarraiited, but ever, member of the honse knows how~ oni is liable to lose one's head or to'ngui in debate. I wouldl like to say to the people of Clar'endni county that im man I hiave kiiow~n in iiy 12 years '' aissoiciation with iiemiibet's of thle lious to legisla tion thtan has Mir. Curitis."' Mir.

LOOK WITH FAVOR UPON FORD'S OFF[R Secretary of Agriculture States His Policy ABOUT MUSCLE SHOALS "Take it or Leave it, as its Face Value," Said to Be Ford's Attitude. Washington, Feb. 14.-Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, looks with favor "upon Henry Ford's offer for purchase and lease of the government's nitrate and water pow er projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala., '.if its terms ar sufliciently definite and binding to make sure the plant will be operated continuously for the manufacture of fertilizer." I)r. Richard C. Tolman, director o fthe fixed nitrogen research labora tory of the department, announced the Secretary's position with regard to the Ford offer in an authorized state ment which he read toiay before the House military committee. The Sec retary's views as expressed by the witness were that if the terms were as he had outlined the proposal would "result in making available a consid erably increased supply of fertilizer in time of peace and give us assuranc* of adequate supplies of explosives of fertilizer in case of need." Mayo on the Stand The statement was rend by Dr. Tol man after the committee had com pleted an examination lasting more than five hours of W. B. Mayo, chief engineer and personal representative of henry Ford, Mr. Mayo's testimony included repeated statements that. Mr. Ford intended to manufacture fertilizers in their completed forms at the maximum production capacity of the Muscle Shoals plants and -ould make every effort to manufacture them at a minimum cost of the farm ers, using every known formula and working his chemists meanwhile to dis::ver improved methods. Mr. Mayo took issue several times with committee members who called attention to the section of the offer regarding fertilizer manufacture, say og there was no provision in the of fer to compel the manufacture of fer tilizer but only of some necessary in gredients. In each instance the wit ness declared it was Mr. Ford's inten tion to execute the contract, in the event. Congress accorded it, in good faith and that imcuded the production of fertilizers. "Take It or Leave It." At one point. Mr. Mayo said the )etroit manufacturer had been in vited by the gove'nmient to make the oll'r and Congress coul "take it or leave it, at. its face value." This an nouneement followed a leated cx lchange between the witness and Rep ( resentative .Miller. Republican V:as', inigton, regarding the financial ohliga tions the government. w ould :ssum - under the agreement. The Washing tonl member insisted that the financial burden on the country Would exceed by several millions that assumed by Mr. Ford while Mr. Mayo submitteid esti mated expenditures Mir.
