Columbia, Nov. 19.—Heavy deliver ies of cotton to the South Carolina Growers’ Cooperative association by farmers wishing to take advantage of tho liberal advances authorized by the federal farm board through the co operative associations yesterday forc ed the Palmetto Compress and ^Ware house company, concentration ware house of the association, to charter a plane and. *end to Atlanta for official govemme it warehouse receipts. The compress had on hand at the beginning of the month what it re garded as an ample supply of receipts but recently the deliveries of cotton have been mounting grradually higher, and beginning last Friday had exceed ed all records under the new contract. Monday night the management of the compress checked up and found that if deliveries today approximated those of the three previous days re ceipts would run short. Early today H. Gorden Kenna, man ager of the compress, chartered a ^lane and sent it to'Atlanta to get the receipts from the firm authorized by the government to print them. The plane made the return trip from At lanta in one hour and 50 minutes and the compress was issuing the receipts in the afternoon. Alfred Scarborough, general mapa- Columbia, Nov. 18.—Budget hear ings, preparatory to the recommenda tions for the 193Q appropriation bill, have been virtually completed, Walter E. Duncan, of Aiken, secretary of the budget commission, has announced. Less than six departments and in stitutions are yet to be heard, he said. Mr. Duncan’s written statement on the matter follows: “Budget hearings, conducted during the past month prepartory to recom mendations of the budget commission for the 1930 appropriation bill, have practieallly been completed. Less than half a dozen departments and institu tions remain to be heard. The budget commission has recessed until the lat ter part of November, pending the meeting on the last Tuesday in No vember of the board of trustees of Winthrop college. The Winthrop trus tees usually frame the budget requests for that institution. “While the total requests for 1930 from the various departments and in stitutions will be much larger this year than ever before—and particu larly from the humanitarian institu tions—and although no definite fig ures have been given out by the bud get commission, the amount that will be recommended by the governor and the budget commission will fall far Short of the total requests. “Necessarily, an appropriation bill gunning several hundred dollars above that for the present year must be rec- These Mess Saved the Country from a Presbyterian-Newberry Football Game To Be Thanksgiving Feature.

Under the direction of a special commission from South Carolina Pres bytery, a Presbyterian church was or ganized at Goldville on last Sunday afternoon with a small, but interested membership. A recent overture to presbytery signed ,by forty-five men, women and children of the Joanna mills community, was approved, and machinery set in motion under the supervision of Dr. C. E. Sulliv'an, evangelist of this presbytery^ for the formation of a church there. A desir- but Governor Richards and the mem bers of the commission have labored to keep the recommendations down as low as possible without injury to any Carolina or institutions and al though the total recommendations will be considerably in excess of those of the past two years—possibly $400,000 to $500,000 higher—this total will not be as large as the amounts of some appropriation bills for past years.’’ Debt Fund Now Well Past One-Third Mark. Friday’s Report Expected To Increase Total. With the Presbyterian college pro gram of deliverance being pushed with renewed vigor this week, a fourth re port is scheduled for tomorrow from all Presbyterian churches in the state. Reports received Tuesday sent the fund well past the one-third mark, in spite of thd fact that many of the churches have as yet failed to make hny reports. Returns have been received to date from 184 churches, leaving 88 that have made no report whatever. These B8, along with all the others, have 'been urged to be certain to send in re ports Friday. Twenty-six churches now have reached or exceeded the goals assign ed them. Among these churches is the Whitmire church, of which J. H. Simpson is campaign chairman. Rev. T. Ci Bryan is the pastor. Others in clude Iva, Richland, Walhalla, Seneca, Woodruff, Reedy River, Kershaw, Lanes, Olanta and Pinewood. Qne of the donors who helped Rich land go “over the top’’ was Captain A. H. Ellison, a ninety-year old war ^’eteran who joined the church at the age of 82. Reports from churches in South Carolina presbytery Tiave been some- jwhat slow in coming in, but all the j churches in the presbytery are plan ning to have reports tomorrow, with home of them likely to follow Whit- biire’s lead in going over the top. ! Rev. John MeSween, president of the college, has urged united cooper ation in this phase of the campaign. Licensing Division Mails Applications. Over 200,000 Go In Mails. Front and Rear Plates This Year. Columbia, Nov. 16.—Blank applica tions for automobile ’icense plates for 19S0 have been prepared for the li censing division of the .South Carolina highway department, W. V. Suther land, director, said, and have already been placed at the postoffice. They wll go out Monday and owners of au tomobiles over the state will have re ceived them by Tuesday night. Two hundred and thirty-threo thous and letters, containing the applica- ition blanks and instructions for fin ding out, are being mailed out in the first batch—this covers owners of passenger cars, trucks, trailers and motorcycles. In 1930 two plates on each car are required—one to be affixed to the I front and the other to the rear. The ' additional plate will cost the user Nothing—that is, the car owner pays ^the same license fee for the two plates in 1930 as he did for the one plate in {1929. However, the additional weight of the second plate will increase the inailing charges five cents. Class A Jicenses which last year sold for $9.05, including postage, will this year sell for $9.10, this also including postage. If the car owner applies directly to the office of the highway department, jthe cost will be $9 00 for the A plates. ■ The prices for other plates will be the !same as last year, except for th2 ad- |ditional postage. 1 The plates this year are black and white—the background is black with (the lettering and numerals white.

The second big event is the dedica tion of the new swimming pool. Pres byterian supporters have watched with enthusiasm the growth of the physical plant. In recent years the splendid Leroy Springs gymnasium, Bailey Memorial stadium, and finally this modern, perfectly appointed swimming pool, have been added. Presbyterian is now the best-equipped small college in the South. It is needle.ss to say that Home-cjm- ing day will have its banquet. No event of the kind is complete without a big dinner. It is an occasion for the renewing of old contacts and friend ships, as well as for the refreshing of the inner man.

I Mills got the longest run of the day, 35 yards, and also received a pass from Fullen for a gain of 2 yards. Other long gains registered by the ’Deacons were runs by Hipps foii 11 and 26 yards, by Cox for 25 yards and I by Quillen for 14 and 18 yards. Long passes completed by the Dea- jcons included: Quillen to Hipps, 38 yards; Quillen to Benton, 26 yards; Quillen to Benton, 32 yards, and Quil len to Mills, 20. Jimmie Green ripped off a gain of 11 yards to lead the Presbyterian ground gaining. A pass from Q Dun lap to Lynn for 16 yards was the Blue Stockings’ longest single gain.
