OCTOBKKi: JOTH (OTTON DAY Columbia, Sept. 14.?Monday, September 20th. has been set aside as "Cotton Day" in South Carolina and on that day farmers and business and professional men in every county in South Carolina will meet at their county seats for the purpose of joining in the southwide campaign for 4u-cent cotton, basis middling, and a prosperous people. Governor Cooper lias issued a proclamation setting aside the day as "Cotton Day" in South Carolina and urging the people of the State to attend the meetings in their respective counties and to take part in them actively. At each county meeting the following three subjects will constitute the program: 1. Plans for holding the cotton of the county until fair and just prices can be obtained, topether with plans for co-operate marketinc. i.'. Plans for fully utilizinp warelouses and warehouse facilities of the county and for erecting additional warehouses with special emphasis in this connection on practical plan? lot linauciiitr the crop. f.

NEW HIDES roil THK opekatdm; or caiis lliuhway Depart.... nt Fellows Suggestions of the Automotive Men Columbia, Sept. III.? Rules governing ilie speed of motor irucks, ill" operation of trucks and cars and general highway repulations are bemir prepared by the State Hi eh way Department, following a conference with members of the Sou15i Carolina Automotive Association in Columbia during the past few days. These repulations are to be printed in book form and distributed to ail car owners. along with the lit21 license plates. The recommendations of the automobile men will be the basis of regulations. I he automobile men suggested, and the suggestion will probably be the new rule, that the speed of motor trucks equipped with pneumatic tires be twenty miles an hour; that trucks with hard tires be 15 miles an hour; the speed of automobiles is fixed by statute. The auto men suggested to the motor truck using the public highway be required to carry a mirror attached to the windshield so that the driver can see vehicles approaching from the rear. Passenger cars will have right of way over trucks, except when the roads are wet and demand the use of chains. Dimmers must be used at night when other cars approach within two hundred feet. When cars are not equipped with dimmers but with other devices, such as lowering light or spot light the light must fall within four feet of the ground at a distance of 100 feet. The weight of trucks is also to be regulated. The auto men have suggested that a two-ton truck have 22 inches of tires, at least, four inch tires fore and seven inch tires on the rear wheels. The load of two ton truck together must not weigh over nine thousand pounds. For a three-ton truck the tires must total 24 inches; for a four-ton truck, 28 inches; for a five-ton truck, thirty-1 two inches. Automobile men made other recommendations, and the highway department will also probably take some action on these. Among these are that all bridges be posted as toj the speed and load they will carry, warning as to th.e soundjng of horns j at cures, the width of roods and other highway matters. The regulations of the highway department will have the force of law. the 1!?20 highway act authorizing, the commission to promulgate regulations governing traffic on the State highways.
