Dublin, Aug. 4.?The Irish republican parliament has been summoned to meet Tuesday August 16, the Irish bulletin, the official republican or.. - ganization announced tonight. Notices have been sent to all members of the parliament :1 j London, Aug. 4.?The Irish situation took a sensational turn today "fori it was announced in Dublin that Eamonn de Valera and bis associates had decided to summon a foil meeting of the Irish republican par ' liament to consider the British government's Irish peace proposals. It bad been repeatedly stated in Dublin that the Dail Eireann would not be summoned until Ulster's attitude bad Jrten learned, but so-incident with I' the calling of a meeting of this body came conflicting reports from Dublin and Belfast concerning Ulster's posi% $ tion. In Dublin it is reported that Ulster )ias been sounded and has returned +A fhe Sinn an wibwh iuu?kvh>u>? *v ? ? " Pein overtures, while in. Belfast, after an important meeting of the eabinet, it was authoritatively stated that | the Ulster ministry had received no communication from de Valera. While these reports at first seem irreconcilable, it is pointed out that J?" - possibly both may be correct. The fact that the Ulster cabinet itself has not received a communication, would not, it is indicated, preclude the pos* sibility of an informal discussion ber fj.' tween the northern and southern leaders. I A dispatch to the Evening News I. from Belfast today asserts that the , Ulster cabinet at this morning meet ings, discussed an invitation from the Dail Eireann to Sir James Craig, the P' , Ulster premier asking him to attend ? ^conference in Dublin with a view ; > to determining Ulster's attitude. It I adds that there is no possibility, however, of another meeting between Sir v. Jam ?8 and Mr. de Valera in Dublin, although the Ulster premier is willing to Meet the republican leader with | ,/j Premier loyd George in London. Out of these conflicting reports, however, arises the outstanding fact W.V: that the republican parliament is to meet which is taken to mean una doubtedly that Mr. de Valera will r give a reply to Mr. Lloyd George in the immediate future.

The census figures include fowls found on the farms of the State and do not take in- 1 to consideration the thousands of flocks in small towns and cities. These would probably equal, if not exceed, the poultry production on the farms for the reason that the back-yard flock in the town and city is usually much better taken care of than the rural hen and shows a greter productions T Despite this handicap the poultry t crop in South Carolina in 1919 had t a valuation of more than $12,000,* y 000,000, according to preliminary j figures recently announced by the ^ Department of Commerce. The poul- t try crop had a valuation of nearly y $2,000,000 more than* the hogs pro- ( J j i.L - T_ .11 UUGCU W U16 UWtVC. All oyivc ux osa this, the hen is often looked upon as t a small business unit, while the hog r is reckoned as one of our greatest z crops. j Taking . into consideration the ^ small town flocks and the few hens in the back-yards of the city family, c the poultry and egg crop of South / Carolina will pass the $20,000,000 -y mark amuially* Still it is referred <, to as a smaU business. It is small in ( one way, yet the total is equal to the ^ combined valuation of all beef and x dairy cattle in the State.

The ^ census figures show that 9,015,952 t chickens were raised on the farms of the State in 1919 and had a valua- c tion of $6,311,166. These figures do g not include the exhibition of fancy ^ birds produced by the poultry fancier ^ and which have a per capita market c value far in excess of the fowls found fl on the farm fey the census enumerators. t The milk and cream Industry in v South Carolina has shown a wonderful development in the past few years and in some sections is taking a the place of King Cotton to a large ^ extent, while in others it is the great r supplemental crop and looked upon y as one of the principal yeur-round ^ money producers. The poultry and ^ egg crop of South Carolina is nearly j( three times as large as the combined milk and cream production of the t State. The farm hen and her products ^ nearly equal th*_tpbacco crop; more r than twice as large as the sweet potato crop; equeal in value to the com- Q bined production of oats, wheat, dry ^ peas and all hay and forage, nearly twice the value of horses on the farm. ^ . C' The hen is, indeed, q great producer. Give her a square deal and she g will pay you well. ^ COLLEGE 1921 lb ST, S. C.

GETS NEW LEASE JIG CUT IN RATE OF EXPEND!* ' TURE WILL BE NECESSARY 1 r ' IF ESTIMATE OF TAX BILL 1 SHALL HOLD GOOD?MANY 1 CHANGES SUGGESTED Washington, Aug. 4.?A cut of j nore than $250,000,000 in the ordi- : iary expenditures of the government his fiscal year is necessary if addi- , ional taxes are to be avoided, the louse ways and means committee w^s nformed today by Secretary Mellon. J )n present estimates, he said, the , ojtal government cost this year will re $4,550,000,000 of which $8,880,. 100 must come from taxation. Even with the suggested reduc- ! ions, Mr. Mellon said, the internal ' evenue yield for the year, "could 1 iot safely be permitted to fall be- . ow $3,670,000,000, the estimated leld under the existing law." The treasury secretary t?ld the ommittee that actual expenditures 1 ? ? it ? * . < or the first montn.ox tms nscai year ndicated that unless there was an 'extraordinary new effort to reduce ' sxpendittires," the estimate which he treasury had presented might be ! egarded as conservative. Ordinary . ixpenditures for July, he said, a npunted to about $322,009,000 as .gainst $307,000,000 for July, 1920, rhile the current deficit last month 1 ras $113,000,000 as against $76,- ' 100,000 as against ?$7B,000,000 in 1 he same month a year ago. "An analysis of the principal itemr 1 >f expenditures for July, 1921," the ' ecretary continued, "shows that ; 159,000,000 was on account of the ' far department, $56,000,000 on acount of the navy and $32,000,000 on ccount of the shipping board. If ex- ; lenditures are to continue at any- ' hirig like these rates, the estimates ' rill be greatly exceeded." Excluding the suggested increase f one cent in first class mail rates nd the two cent tax on bank checks. ' Ir. Mellon estimated at the proposed evision of taxes would bring a total | leld this year of $3,620,000,000 and j 3,828,000,000 in the fiscal year I 923. His estimates assumed the.fol- I j wing changes: I Increase in the corporation income | ax to 15 per cent, as of January 1, | 921 (or January 1, 1922), and the j epeal of the $2,000 exemption.
