"Well." said the man about town yesterday, "the old town has been look- I inp like it uster this week. What with j the court of general sessions, Bethel; -i?a n fo?- ntlipr Ir>s5pr at tractions there have been quite a number of people in town. Don't you wish it were that way all the time?" Quits to Make Living. L. H. Wnnnamakcr, Jr., for many years news editor of the Charleston News and Courier; but now internal revenue inspector for narcotics with offices and residence in Columbia, was anionic the visitors in Yorkville Wed- i nesday. "I had to quit the newspaper game," Mr. Wannamaker said, "in order to make a living. I have been in the government service now about three years and I like the work fairly well." Mr. Wannamaker's work in South Carolina has to-do with cheeking up on druggists and others who sell opiates and alcohol^ * Cutting Fertiliser. Reports of drastic reduction in the use of commercial fertilizer this year | us compared with last year continue! to come from all sides and there is | little doubt in the minds of a good many people who claim to know something about it, that the cut-for the entire county' will average at least 50 per cent. D. D. Thomas, well known young farmer living on the northern outskirts of Yorkville, was talking about fertilizes reduction the other evening. "I used more than $1,000 worth of fertilizer on my farm last year," he Slid. "This year I propose to use a little more than $100 worth. That'll give you some idea as to what I am going to do about it." Chester Children Study History. "Chester school children arc soon to begin the study of the history of their own county, something that schoolchildren in York county should be required to do," said this morning a Yorkville man. "I have just roceivcu -*i letter from Miss Sadie Goodwin, _> a teacher in the Chester City schools | in which she s -oks i:if*ti'iriiiti<>n shout ! tlie early history of Cluster county. I She writes: "I am anxious t<> g ! j some information in regard to the history of Chester county and city which will be of use and interest to us in the schools and have been referred to you for the same. If you can give me any information or tell 1110 where to find it. 1 will appreciate your help very much. We want to make a study of the county in our fourth grades." For a Public Defender. "The statement of that negro James Fair in the court of general sessions this week who pleaded guilty because lie bad no lawyer which I 'read in The j Yorkvil'.c Knijuirer interested me and ' furnished food for thought." said a l citizen this morning. "It bria rs to my miiul llie ijueslion of the need for a j public defender in the court. This in?- : gro. Jim l-.gr, may be guilty of car. breaking' and larceny as he was eiiarg- j a nml tnerelv stated that lie had no j lawyer ami therefore pleaded guilty just as a dodge. IJut there arc often ]??M?r cP-vils brought into court who arc without funds and who tiii^l t really he innocent and whom a lawyer could assist in putting facts before tin* Jury. I think that the state should employ a public defender as well as a puh'.U prosecutor." i Conditicr.s In Chester. ! Solicit*!!* .1. K. Henry of Chester, was ' miking Jihoiit conditions in his home j county of Chester the other evening, j 'farmers are just as busy as they usually are at this time of year," he said.1 "and it looks to me as if they sire go- 1 ing to plant as much cotton as usual. ! i From all reports fertilizer use is going: to lie cut off considerably and it is go- ! ing to l?e hard for some of llie farmers to get along: hut on the wide things are moving along pretty good."

Why I could listen to her all night if sl.c would only sing the : ongv. that we ail I.now." So said a lady sitting next in the hnIrony at Wint lirop College at the itosa Ivoiscllo Concert Tuesday evening anii that expressed it. An audience from nil sections of York ami adjoining whim tics that taxed the .renting cnji.-icity i of the huge Winthrop auditorium heard Mliss Itosa IVmscllc, prim ma donna dramatic soprano of the .Metropolitan Opera Company who was assisted by Mr. WilliamTyro'lcr, pianist and formerly assistant conductor of the .Metropolitan Opera Company, in concert. It was a most appreciative audience which was carried away by the beautiful voice and beautiful form and face of the famous soprano. Very gracious and appreciative of her audience was Miss I'onsollc, res pondj in.j to no less than seven encores, j The audiepcc started to leave following the last beautiful note from Verdi's "Merce, dilletto amiche." There was great applause from others and the prima donna responding sang another selection. That part of the audience that had lefl?its seats returned when Ponselle began the encore response; and when it was concluded they joined in the repeated hearty applause. Again the singer returned to the stage. "I shall sing one more song," she said and she did. It was Annie Laurie and it produced a wonderful effect on the vast audience. Miss I'onselle's programme included: Verdi's "I'aco. Pace. Mio Din;" Giles Mig gins's, "My Lovely Celia;" Grieg's "Eros;" Frank La Forge's 'To a Messenger;" I'onchielli's "Suicidiol in quest! fieri morr.enli;" Parell's "Ororova l'Apri!;" Pulhriilhe's "Psyche;" Verdi's "Merce. d Is let to amiche." W'inthrop officials were well pleased with the attendance 011 the concert, saying that the audience was the largcs'. ever attendant upon one of the extraordinary attractions being brought to W'inthrop from time to t'.me."

PROBLEM OF PRICES Trade Commission Makes Important Report, TOO MANY BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS Open Price Associations and Other Combinations are Suspected of Responsibility for Much of the Trouble. ?Legislative Recommendations. Washington, April 17.?Legislation to eliminate unnecessary brokerage transactions, to facilitate a wide distribu tion of information regarding market conditions and to strengthen the powers of the federal government in its price investigations is recommended by the Federal Trade Commission in a report on the general industrial situutipn, drawn up at the request of President Harding and made public tonight at the White House. "Open price associations," which operate within the law to keep their respective members advised confidentially of one another's price schedules, are accused by the commission of contributing to the maintenance of unduly high retail prices. It is suggested that means must be found to reduce costs of -necessities, such as fuel and housing, before other commodities can come back to normal. "It should be said," the report concludes, "that following the disordered condition of the world's affairs, a shrinkage in values is inevitable and that normal conditions will be the more quickly restored if the producer, the laborer, the manufacturer, the jobber and the retailer will each share at once in the unavoidable loss, and further, that any effort by any element to place its share of the common loss on the shoulders of others, and particularly of the consumer, can but result in a continuation of the conditions under which the country is now suffering. Consumer's Cost Too High. Declaring that the cost of commodities to the consumer has not. broadly speaking, been reduced in proper proportion to the decline in agricultural and other raw materials, the cctmnission sets forth its belief that, "in general. it would appear that the movement toward the reduction of prices to the consumer isVctarded chiefly .at the retailing stage, and that relief at this pojnt would be reflected buck in increased-production, which would re? duue tin; production cost and relieve to some extent at least the check up on the manufacturer, and by increasing the demand for raw materials would react upon the producer." The report also takes note of the influence of foreign combinations of capital in determining liio price of such commodities as phosphate, tohaccu and jjrain and adds that nmoiiK domestic coinbiiiations, one of tlic newest and mojjt widespread agencies for affect ins: markets is the "open price associations." Trus? Within the Law. "One of the purposes of these associations." the report continues, "nominally is to determine uniform cost accounting methods and to steady the market hy furnishing the supply which it ran readily absorb. Those associations collect and publish for the benefit of their members prices of production. production costs, sales and sa'os prices and orders and slocks, in pursuance of a plan whereby the members of sin'h associations are t > compete anion:,' themselves and with others with knowledge of their own and their competitors' production costs and prices, the available' supply and the '"'""i"1 online! inn and lillhlic dis semination of such .statistical dft'a mi;rht make the opera lion of such associations of benefit to the producer ami the consumer alike, but, unfortunately, the tendency is here manifested to conllnc the information to numbers and to brim? about uniform prices and to maintain them at an artificially liifth level by curtailing' production or supply through action wliicli leads strongly toward uniformity because, based upon common infoi ination. but which purports to lack the element of concerted agreement cimracteristic of tIn; combinations forbidden by the Sheininn law "A fundamental difficulty at the present time lies in the fact that there, is no eornpli te information avaiialde to anyone with reference to the proper adjiistnietit of ntiinufaetui'ers.' wholesalers" and retailers" prices* in any industry. When i! becomes possible for any faej-limlintf yovernmonlal la dy to deter'mine at any stupe tile ens! which a commodity represents at that striffe, it can be determined whether an excessive ohurjro is brine; placed thereon. Tiie juiieral causes of price inciiuniities ami siimtewtcd remedies .are summed up as fallows: Causes Arc Cited. "Aside from the unfair methods of competition with which we arc daily conlendintr and a id tie from the important elements of transportation and ......<lil in. rice nf the OIlillioM that tile following are among the principal fii?is"s ;i:i?l are intlicitIi\*t> awl nut necessarily exhaustive of the subject: "Kirst. the excessive price of many basic commodities. prominent among which is coal, which vitally affects the cost ..f other commodities, to say nutlii11VI" ?>f the effect upon tin- health ami .comfort and upon the cost of living ami buying power of the people. "Second. tlie existence of the typical monopolies and distinction, agreements in violation of the anti-trust laws, illustrated in the latter instance by the condition in another basic commodity, to-wit, lumber, which was the subject of a rccontrovert by this commission to the Department of Justice and upon which that department is now proceeding. "Third. Open price associations, in many cases not yet challenged by the law, yet tending to bring about^and maintain unduly high prices. "Fourth. Interference with the chanels of trade by distributors' trade associations, particularly by activities tending to maintain an unnecessary number of inefficient 'regular* dealers. while shutting out new dealers seeking to sell at lower prices and especially cooperative purchasing and distributing organization of consumers. Foreign Combinations. "Fifth. The conditions with respect to foreign combinations in the international market, to which reference has already been made. "Aside from the remedies which may be afforded by improved transportation. we suggest consideration of the following: "First. The Passage of a bill which will meet judicial objections j to the authority of this commission to continue its efforts to obtain and publish information respecting the owner*' ship, production, distribution, cost, sales and profits in the bash industries more directly affecting the necessities of life?sheiter, clothing, food and fuel?for the information of congress and the promotion of the public welfare. "Second. Vigorous prosecutions under the antitrust laws, including a rc-cxamination of the reviewable de crces already introduced, in such cases, with a view to strengthen them to meet present conditions, including also a closer scrutiny of the so-called open price associations, to ascertain whether under the guise oi. beneficial associations they arc in fact violating the law." SOUTH CAROLINAn FARMS ' Agricultural Facts and Figurco'of Unurual Interest.-;* ' i A recent investigation conducted by I!. It. Hare, agricultural statistician of the bureau of crop cstimatqs, United States department of agriculture. relative. to .food requirements .in-^south T.Tiinina, smnvs the following a vertigo quantities of food stuffs consumed per person per month: 11 pounds of flour; 7 pounds of pork (eaten or utilized in'cooking); 3 pounds of oilier meal: -hi pounds of sugar (including that used in cooking, canning preserving fruits, etc.) Ifi eggs; and 7 l?l 1111 11\ lliciiiuiiij vivimii whole in ilk. II is observed from the report that 32 per cent, of the wheat flour con .siimctl last year was grown within the slate, while 03 per cent of the meat. ,S2 per cent, of milk and hotter consumed were produced within its borders. It appears ll.nt each person within (he stale consumes an average of 132 pounds of flour annually. Therefore, if we have a population of 1,090,000 it will re<|iiire approximately 5,500,000 bushels of wheat to supply our yearly needs. The total production for the state ill 1920 litis been estimated at 1,TSfiflil) bushels, or about 3,COO,000 bushels less than our annual require i 111 fills. Thf average park requirements per person is .shown In ho ahout 81 ..pounds annually. In other words it will rej quire one ho;* netting IBM pounds to i supply the needs of two persons each i year, or it will take ahout 845.000 of ; such hoys to moot the state's annual requirements. J-Iowever. should the hoys net 250 pounds each the number could he reduced to ahout SCO.000. It would he of interest to know which would he mure economical for the state ! as a whole, to raise 500,000 hoys net! liny 250 pounds each or S 15,000 hoys | of His pounds each. Further observations made from this j investiyalion are to the effect that the I averaye distance of all farms in the | state from market, is approximately 7 ! miles, and the averaye size load from j farm to market is 1,579 pounds, the 1 averaye size load from market to farm ! being 1,022 pounds. The averaye number of days spent ; annually per farm in hauliny produce, i fertilizers, etc, to and from market is estimated at 27 days, or a iitlle less than 9 per cent, of all work days. The total in; in tier of motor trucks in the state used exclusively for farm purposes is estimated at 1.S33 and the number of farm tractors at 2.955. Mr. Mare states that another interest iny feature of the investigation, as I shown l>y the tabulated results of n : Inrge number of reports of fanners front all sect ions of the slate, is that ! only Sil per eeni. of the amount of commercial fertilizers used in 1920 will he used in 1921. However, a very large porcenlngo of the last year's crop of cotton seed will not he sold ! of exchanged for fertilizers, as litis ' been the practice heretofore, but will be put back on ihe farm from which they were obtained. ?

Gardens of early planters in Clover have suffered a severe set back as a result of the unusually cold weather coupled with frost during the past several days.

'The textile industry at Clover still drags. The Hawthorne Mill is running on full day time; but the Clover .Mill is only running part of the time and there are no indications as to when full operations will be resumed there. The industry lias been on the drag here now for many months, greatly to the embarrassment of the mill managements, the operatives, business people and people generally. Enjoyed Fish Dinner.

The fish which included eats, perch, suckers and other well knowh Catawba river and Heaver Dam species, were, fried only as Mr. Ford's daughter, Misslist her knows how to fry them and it is needless to say that the dinner was thoroughly enjoyed. A net was placed in the water at'Heaver Dain Tuesday and hundreds of pounds of carp, cats and other varieties were hauled in. That is where Mr. Ford got them. He was frank to admit, however, that he bought them and did not catch them himself and that there was 110 real fish story connected with the dinner. Comp'aint About Rents There is some complaint being voiced here about the alleged high house rents. A Clover, man who was talking yesterday said that he had to pay $30 a month rent for a five room house despite the fact that his salary was only $12r> a month. When it was suggested that he hunt a cheaper house he said that was impossible for Ihc reason that there were no cheaper liMosns io 1 ?o had. Attended Pcncclle Concert.

I Automobile speed fiends around Clover have a hard row to hoe. The town eouneil has recently passed rather drastic traffic ordinances and Chief of Police .John Jackson and Policeman Frank Morrow have been directed to enforce them to the letter. They are doing: just that. The motorist who comes through Clover at a speed of more than fifteen miles an hour gets into all kinds of trouble. There have been quite a number who have recently paid fines to the town. Personal Mention Mr. John Knox, well known Clover citizen who has been quite sick for some time past has so far recovered as to be able to be about the house. Mr. Emmett Love who has been confined to his home for some time past on account of an injured foot is improved. SPIRIT SEEKS VENGEANCE. Occult Leader Tella^ of Visit Following Murder. Through a spirit communication he has just received Jajnes D. Twynham, director or a local society, at u-reensboro, N. C., devoted to the study of spirit return, divine healing and telepathy, believes that he is in a fair way of clearing up a murder mystery that has perplexed the authorities of Wayne County for weeks'. Mr. Twynham says the spirit has given htm the name of the slayer and related the circumstances of the killing in detail. The slain man was Makajah Wiggins, a farmer, who was found dead near his house, a short distance from Goldsboro. He had been shot twice. A coroner's inquest was immediately held, but though sixty or seventy persons were present, not one would give the authorities any information which might lead to arrests in connection with the case. "In all my experience with murder cases," Coroner C. C. Baker declared, "I have never run up with such a know-nothing bunch of persons." The very fact that no one seemed to know anything about tho shooting, added much to the mystery. Witnesses Retdctant to Talk. "I stood near the body during the inquest," Twynham says, "and realizing that nothing could be done to avenge the murder of the good citizen, I decided to see what I could do about finding nut Komethiner. But everv one I approached with questions blanched as if with fear. There was something decidedly queer about it ail. That evening I went home much disturbed about the whole matter. "Scarcely had > I entered my. room than I realized something was wrong. I thought perhaps there was a burglar present so I turned on all the lights jyid even looked in the closet and under the "bed: There' was" po one to be seen. But when I finally'settled down into a chair gradually the spirit form of Makajah Wiggins became visible! "We stood staring at cacii other a few minutes, the cold chills running up and down my spine. " 'What do you' want?' I finally managed to ask. " 'I want you to avenge my murder,' he answered. "Then I asked him to tell me about it. He said that a few weeks ago he informed Federal authorities about an illicit liquor joint in one of his neighbors' houses. The moonshiners heard about it and told h!m to leave the country or he would be killed. He said he bought a house in town not far from here and was going to move into it the following day. That evening one of the moonshiners approached him as he was walking to his house from the field. Spirit Tells of Killing. " 'Well, Kagah,' he said the moonshiner asked him, 'so you're goin' to move tomorrow?' "Wiggins replied that he was. " 'No, Kagah' he said the man answered, 'you're goin* to move now, d?n you,' and shot him twice. "Wiggins' ghost then told me how he ran to the house, but didn't quite make it, and fell about a hundred feet from the back porch, where later his wife found him dead. "'After I was dead.' the ghost continued, 'I could see my body lyinjj there on the grass. X saw you standing there in the crowd and knew you wanted to avenge my death; so I decided to come down to earth .and help you.' "Then moving close enough so that I could have touched him if he had been a materialized body," Twynham continued, "he whispered the name of the man who shot him. He said that lots of persons around that part of the country knew that thai man had shot him, but would never testify they knew because the murderer was a member of a large gang of moonshiners who would kill the first person who told on the killer." SAVED BY PIN PRODS. Common Ordinary Pin Saved Life of Banker. Just a common, ordinary steel pin saved tho life of John U. Fish, Wyoming representative of the Bankers' Trust company of Denver, Col., it was learned yesterday. Fish left Laramie, Wyo., to motor to Cheyenne in an open car. The blizzard which swept that section Thursday night and Friday marooned him on the plains fnr eighteen hours. Unable to drive his car. Fish stopped and began his battle for life against the terrible drowsiness overcoming him. Taking a pin from his coat he jabbed himself constantly with the sharp point to keep awake. All night he fought sleep and death by freezing. When found eighteen hours later Fish was in a semi-conscious condition. KANAPAUX'S BATTERY : ? ?s?Veteran Calls Roll o! York Count; ' Members. -'; !

GOES DOWN WITH SHIP ' Chauffeur Endp Life Becaure of Failure to Save Car. , ' A chauffeur may have a code of hdnor similar to that of the traditional sea captain,Nas was discovered by Georges Menier when his motor car was badly damaged. M. Mciner had gone to a suburb in his new automobile and, deciding to remain there, ordered hlS * - haclc" to ciiaurieur to unto ?.?.?= r_ . Paris. Later in the day his brother, driving along- the road in his own'cdr^ found JI. Menier's automobile smashed along the roadside and abandoned. Failing to find the chauffeur he went to the next village, where he ascertained the man had been there and departed, leaving a letter addressed to his employer which read: "Sir: 'YOU entrusted a new motor car to my charge, I have not been able to keep it undamaged. I shall not survive this dishonor." , * The letter went on in the form of a will in which the chauffeur asked ? the permission of- his employer to bequeath, his savings, amounting to about $150, to his young daughter of seventeen. The body of the chauffeur was found later in a stream near the village. Another curious feature is the fact that because the chauffeur in this letter admitted his responsibility, ' the owner of the automobile will be unable to collect insurance, as according to the Trench law, the admission of the chauffeur releases the company of its obligations. + I ?
