In a letter to Mr. G. T. Barnes, sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce who has written several letters urg ing Mr. Moore to come here, Mr Moore tells something of the method: tie uses at nis piant in w maer anc . which he will no doubt use here. The , letter is, in part, as follows: - "The writer told you when in youi city last Saturday he Would give yoi the ingredients uued in our bread They are as follows. United brand 1 - flour, miUed by the Consolidated Flour Mills Co., of Hutchinson, Kansas, milled from Kansas Hard Turkey % Red Winter Wheat, the most eagerly bought wheat grown; yeast made by the Fleischmann Yeast Co., granu lated sugar,.Seal of Michigan salt; XTK_. ir;n. u,. 11., ..xxiiiii iuwucicu uxiin., ixiauc \jj uuc .Merrell-Soule Sales Corporation, the firm which manufactures the celebrated v Nohe ?d'ch Mince Meat. This milk is expensive in that it costs wholesale 45c per pound. Will add also that this milk contains only 6,000 bacteria per cubic cm. where ordinary cow's milk runs into the tens and hundreds of thousands per cm % We use this milk entirely for drinki ing and cooking in our home. Shortening used in the bread is butter 0] ' a good grade of lard; and pure Bar ley Malt Extract made by the An heuser-Busch Sales Corporation ol St. Louis, Mo. "You can see the materials we us< are of the best to be had. Our mixing is done by electric mixer, moulding by hand and baking in direct drj heat. A good many bakeries use som< steam in their ovens which give: i them a better looking finished loaf However, this does not add to th< quality or nutrition of the bread. "In cutting the bread use a sharj knife which has a rather rough edge aiid cut with sawing motion. Thi: will assure you of a clean, smooth slice of bread. ' "You of course understand that th< fresher toe loaf, the more noticeabli is the sweet nutty flavor of th< wheat than if one, two or thre.i day: i i Old.

LONG STAPLE COTTON ALSO I DUTY FREE, WITH MEMBERS f OF HOUSE IN DOUBT ABOUT RATE ON COTTON GOODS?TO TAKE UP ASPHALT SCHEDULE >' Washington, July 19.?Oil went on 3 the Fordney tariff free list today by a House vote of more than 2 to 1. Long staple cotton, on the free list I in the ways and means committee draft, however, was put on the dutia . ble list at 15 per cent ad valorem , with members in doubt as to what t compensatory rates on all cotton t goods would be considered necessary . by reason of the imposition of a tax . on the raw product. There was no explanation of the committee's action ^ in deciding at the last moment not to take the ordinary variety of cotton ; such as is raised in the South from the free list. I The real flare-up was over the oil schedules. It broke at the outset of 5 the session after Chairman Fordney had presented a letter from President Harding opposing the tax, and suggesting rather a bargaining provision to be placed in his hands to ? "guard against the levy of duties . against us or the imposition by other nations of export tariffs which are designed to hinder the facilitation of I trade." ; About half the Republican membership of the committee, which imposed r the tax after the bill had been printed i and after the duty earlier had been , rejected joined Republican insurgents [ and almost a solid minority in throw| ing out the duty. Representative Gar. ner, of Texas, ranking Democrat on the committee stood, however, with the oit tariff advocates lead by Rep resentative Chandler, of Oklahoma. 11- ?- -T I .Long siapie cotton was iranaien-1 ed from the free to the dutiable list I by a vote of 105 to 74. both parties j again being split up. The duty only would apply to cotton of one and one-eighth inch staple, although several attempts were made to increase the length of the staple and thereby reduce the 'amount of the commodity coming under the protection. All were defeated however, but by small margins. \ Approximately one million bales of cotton will be affected by the duty each year, according to statistics offered in the discussion. The House tomorrow will take up the asphalt schedule, the last of the lve on which separate votes are - in order. Then will come consideration of committee amendments, numberf * - t mg aDOUt wo nuuureu. 7 . ' CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION FAVORS BANKHEAD BILL Mr. G. T.

PUBLIC OPINION HARDING'S ALLY PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT VOICE OF PEOPLE WILL MAKE MOVE FOR DISARMAMENT EASY OF REALIZATION?TIME FRIENDLY FACTOR. Washington, July 19.?While the State Department is advancing its negotiations for the disarmament conference as raapidly as it considers practicable, there is a well defined feeling here that time and prelimi nary discussion are working on the side of the United States in its efforts to include troublesome diplo matic proDiems wixnm zae scope 01 the conference. This belief is particularly manifest just now with relation to Japan, the only nation which has not yet accepted unreservedly the American suggestion that Far Eastern questions be considered along with the general topic of disarmament. Confidence that such an unreserved acceptance eventually will come from Tokio has increased measurably among American officials since the proposal became a subject of general discussion throughout the Japanese Empire. From the start it had been apparent that President Harding and hi3 advisers were counting on the aroused public opinion of the world as their greatest aid in moving for armament limitation, and they have read press reports and the comments of foreign diplomatists and statesmen with keen interest to discover how impelling is the sentiment in favor of a free and frank exchange of ideas on all the subjects threatening international discord. This survey, so far as officials have been willing to comment on it, has aroused in them general satisfaction. The impression that time is a friendly factor in all of these considerations, and that Undue impatience might lead to a misunderstanding of the real motives of the United States m proposing tne comerence, is regarded as explaining the indisposition of this government to hasten the preliminaries. It was indicated today that nothing definite has been done towards physical arrangements, nor even toward the issuance of a formal invitation, and that it might be some days before there was another concrete development. MISS HILL HURT. Miss Judith Hill, the pretty young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Hill, of Greenville Street, was hurt yesterday evening late in front of the . Hill home in a peculiar accident Miss Hill was attempting to cross the street to the home of Mr. Horace McAllister and failed to notice that the ? ** . rt -ii! ' car 01 BUT. QU111 vail, sutuuiug iu nvia of the house, had the surveyor's poles tied to the side of the car and that these projected behind the car. In going quickly behind the car she rap into the poles without seeing them and was knocked to the pavement, riking the back of her head and being rendered unconscious for awhile. She is recovering today, and the physicians think there is no need to worry over her condition and that she will be out in a few days. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE KNOWN IN EUROPE The secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce has received a bulletin of propaganda from an organization in Breslau, Upper Silesia. Mr. Barnes is not particularly inter-j ested in the outcome of the Silesian plebiscite, and he does not have any marked preferences as to whether Poland or Germany gets the territory in question, but the receipt of the bulletin only shows the wide currents ? commerce body may touch.

Charlie Moore shot and killed Walter Riley yesterday afternoon athis home near Long Cane A. M. E. church, six males southeast of Abbeville. Moore admits firing the shot that killed R3ey, whom, he testified, he caught with his wife in a piece of woods (back of his house. Riley was about 25 years old and lived on I Mr. Robert Hagen's place. Moore lived on Mr. T. P. Thomson's farm. At the coroner's inquest this- . ' i morning it was testified (by witnesses that five shots were heard albout 7 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Examination of the (body showed only one wound, the Ibullet entering below the left shoulder blade and com'ing out several inches higher up, near the collar 'bone, in front. The , passage of the bullet indicated that Riley had been shot while in a stooping or reclining position. Moore claims that he only fired at first to scare Riley, as he feared to shoot at hvm lAsrt-. he hit his wife. However, he intended to shoot ihim as he ran. Four other shots were fired (but it is thought that the first shot is the one that took effect. The coroner's verdict was to the effect that Itfley came to his deabh as a result of gunshot wounds inflicted by Charlie Moore. Appli-. cation has not yet been made for bail for Moore.
