Move Employees in Cotton Mills. South Carolina cotton mills are now working more employees than during the corresponding period of last year, according to reports of the department of agriculture, factory inspection division, for 1922 up through May. The number of employ ees in the mills as announced by the inspectors is 57,001 as compared with 50,276 in June, 1921. The general condition of the mills is reported to be good, the increase in the employees indicating more work and more products turned out. This increase of 6,934 employees over last year was found despite the fact that 18 mills were closed when the inspec ting were made, it was announced. The report also shows that condi tions now, as regards employees, are better than in either 19.19 or 1921. In 1919 the number of employees was 50,898 and in 1920 the number was 52,428. White males employed in the mills far outnumber all others with 33, 816 for 1922 as against 16,843 white females. The number of negro men was 3,264 and the number of negro women was 635. The number of white boys between the ages of 14 and 16 years was 1,193 and the number of white girls between the ages of 14 and 16 was 1,250. No negres between the ages of 14 and 16 were employed in the mills, the report shows. An increase in the mills of 4,796 males over last year is noted in the report and of 1,757 females as well as 371 negro men. These increases in the numberof employees, the in spectors believe, point to much bet ter conditions in the cotton mill in dustry in South Carolina.-The State. Senator Capper Asks Secretary ? Weeks' Resignation. It will be a long time before Sec retary of War Weeks and the admin- 1 istration hear the last of the Secre- ; tary's Cleveland, Ohio, speech, in i which he said that "the legislative ; branch of our National Government ] probably never has been at lower ebb ; than it is today," and condemning i the "interference" of citizens in mat ters of legislation about their own af- 1 fairs. 1 Senator Capper (Rep. Kan.), in : his newspaper calls Secretary Weeks i a "mossback' and an "anachronism," ; and suggests that the President call i for his resignation. Among other : things, Senator Capper says: "If a member of the President's : cabinet holds the views Secretary Weeks says he holds, whether private ! citizen (sic) or public official, he I should resign immediately, for he as 1 shown himself so wholly out of sym pathy with what he has sworn to maintain as an official that he is in no frame of mind to uphold the gov ernment." And again: "The recent progressive revival in the primaries has alarmed him and men like him who wish state and na tional governments to be wholly do mesticated by powerful interests." Unconsciously, perhaps, Senator Senator Capper was hitting as hard at President Harding as he was at Secretary Weeks, for the president has expressed some of the views given by Secretary Weeks, particularly his opinion of the Agricultural bloc. Ac cording to the president's newspaper mouthpiece, which as often states Mr. Harding's opinions in advance as it reflects them, and in both cases with great accuracy, ~Secretary Weaks "told the truth." Thus says the Wash ington Post: "One of the seasons why Congress is under well-nigh universal criticism is because of the demagogy and cow ardice of Congressmen, and the evil of the block system, which seeks ad vantages for classes as against the whole community." The Post then labels and classifies Senator Capper: "If they (the poli ticians) are demagogues they will at tack such men as Secretary Weeks who is courageous enough to tell truth." Republican Floor Leader Mondell, who is about as reactionary as Sec retary Weeks, but more adroit in concealing it in some matters, calls the Secretary's speech "sophomoric." Over Five Million Allotted to | State. South Carolina has received a total apportionment of $5,007,854.84 of federal aid for roads and bridges, to date, exclusive of the $707,000 avail able July 1 of this year, according to figures announced yesterday by the state highway department. Of this to tal $4,935,728.28 has already been al lotted, leaving $72, 126.56 for allot ment. These figures include all the aid supplied since the policy of federal aid was established by the govern ment. If the $707,000 to be availalbe, J 1 1 is counted, the total appor ment to South Carolina will be Confederate Commanders Do Not Censure Lincoln. Eichmond, Va., June 23.-Abra ham Lincoln was no more the insti gator of the Confederate war than Jefferson Davis was responsible for the action of a Southern people, ac cording to a statement issued tonight over the signatures of Gen. Julian S. Carr of Durham, N. C., commander in-chief of the United States Veter ans, and Gen. S. B. Howry of Wash ington, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia ,ranking depart ment of the veterans' organization. Denial that they had voted for the resolutions censuring Lincoln, "pass ed in some confusion," about the time of adjournment of the veterans on Wednesday, came from the rank ing officers. General Carr and Gener al Howry deplored that any ill feel ing should arise because there is "no necessity for any temper or ill will or animosity to the memory of the president who felt that it was his duty to enforce the laws of the Unit ed States as he understood them." In this statement they declared that they felt that they were "expressing the sentiments of too many promi nent men now residing in Richmond and in the South yet remaining here to leave any doubt as to how our peo ple generally feel about the matter." The resolution for which General Carr and General Howry disclaim any responsibility was adopted Wed nesday. It was embodied in a report of the "Rutherford committee" which has as its aim the elimination of bias ed history textbooks from Southern schools. The report commended a pamphlet written by Col. Huger W. Jackson of Curryville, Ga., and pub lished by Miss Mildred Rutherford of Athens, Ga. The pamphlet with the title, "The Truth of the War Con spiracy of 1861," the report declares, "presents the official evidence gath ered principally from the United States government archives, which proves that the Confederate war was deliberately and personally conceived and its inauguration made by Abra ham Lincoln and that he was person ally responsible for forcing the war upon the South." The report continued by stating that "sentiment has been so aroused that perverted Yankee histories will no longer be used to instruct our children; that the young will now be taught that the South was right; yea, eternally and everlastingly right in fighting for those principles upon which our glorious country was . founded." General Carr and General Howry declare the report was adopted in some confusion and that the part which has aroused such a storm of protest was "in a mass of verbiage" which seemed to hold President Lin coln responsible for the Confederate war. Over the signatures of General Carr and General Howry the state ment follows: "Gen. Julian S. Carr of Durham, N. C., commander of the United Con federate Veterans, and Lieut. Gen. Charles B. Howry of Washington, D. C., commanding the department of the Army of Northern Virgniia, stat ed today that neither one of them voted 'for certain resolutions passed in some confusion about the time, or shortly before, the adjournment of the veterans Wednesday in a mass of verbiage which seemed to hold Presi dent Lincoln responsible for the Con federate war; that Abraham Lincoln had no more responsibility in bring ing on the war than Jefferson Davis had for the sentiment of Southern people in resisting coercion." $5,714,854.84. Of the total apportionment $821, 374.77 has been allotted to major bridge projects of the state, not in cluding $250,000 to be given to the Ashley river bridge at Charleston out of the new appropriation available July 1. The Santee bridge of Mur ray's ferry heads the list with aid amounting to $423,734.69. Charleston county takes first rank in the aid of apportionment with $251,184.82 while Richland is sec ond with $244,185.55. These figures do not include allotments made out of the new appropriation available July 1. Some of the other larger amounts include $174,155.09 to An derson county, $101,695.09 to Beau fort, $104,900.54 to Florence, $127, 852.39 to Greenville, $100,198.95-to Greenwood, $109,840.60 to Lexing ton, $160,689.18 to Orangeburg, $206,259.21 to Spartanburg, $138, 804.16 to Sumter, $104,617.04 to Union and $115,032.07 to York.
