[ CLAIMS FIGURES P MUCH TOO LARGE! Heflin Takes Issue With Census j I Department on Cotton Report The State. Washington, March 21.?Ginning statistics for the season of 1920-21, announced today by the census bureau, tending to prove that the current crop is the sixth largest in the history of the country, is grossly inaccurate, according to Senator J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama and other congressional experts who have steadfastly contended that all gov-1 ernment reports have been "unduly inflated." ...."The report of the census today," said Senator Heflin, "proves conclut ' sively that there is immediate need for the investigation which,-* under a , resolution of Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina, the senate will short ' I ly undertake. As a result of that in vestigation, it will be shown just how ~ I much cotton remains in the country, and I am positive that it will be dls- J closed that the census figures are a!- j mpst 2,000,000 in excess of that which was actually produced. '^ ! "LrOVernmeiU ngures suae t.ic , present crop was planted, have in-J variably impressed the world that there was to be a surplus supply.; This irnpresison has demoralized the: market and cost the South many mil-; lions of dollars." k Senators Hefiin and Smith assaik-d . the estimate of the department of j agriculture last December as too! great. The census figure" indicats | that the department's estimate was nearly 400,000 bales short. Tbv senatorial investigation will be initiated as soon as Senator Smith returns to ? ... ti in r> I ^ajimrigton. n. v*. n.. . < f NAZ1MOVA TO PLAY "HEART OF A CHILD." 0 si . ; : > ' In "The Heart of a Child," a special production adapted from Frank ; Darbys novel of , the same name, i Nazimcva comes to the screen of the : 1 I opera house Friday-in a role that is], different from any of the wide varic- j ty of characters she has portrayed co marvelously in previous triumphs, j it is that of Sal'y Snape, an Ess-i Jjsh g?rj from the slum streets of Lor.- j dou who finds herself orphaned at the \ most critical period of her life, and; left to fa-e alone,without other aid ;, than her "iznsophistication, the struggle of maintaining t*he ' world's respect. ?

Sterling, j J John Stepping, William J. Irving.and ! / Myrtle Risbell. Ray C. Smallwood j directed the production, with Ru-i dolph J. Bergquist in charge of the j camera. The effectiveness of the pic-' iorial element in the play is due in great measure to the special art effects by Allen Ruoff. ^ ? SNG0KY USED GUN TO GET JUST WHAT HE WANTED! I In "A Tray Full of Trouble," the newest of the two reel Chester come-j dies, at the opera house Saturday, j Snooky, the Humar.zee who has created such a sensation among motion picture goers through the country, wears a regulation cowboy costume, with pistol and all. According to studio officials, Sr.ooky likes a certain soil of melon for his dessert and one j of the days when it was not forth- j coming the monk almost scared the j Chinese cook out of his life by point- j ing the "prop" pistol at him and ; waiting, until he got just the right j * iu.i. ,I:J I P16C6 01 meioil UiUl lie uiu nuiio. : Snooky is said to show more than! ever that he really has the mind of a human ty the work that he does in this pielu.e. COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS, > CHARLESTON, FIRST PLUM Washington, March 19.?One of j the first South Carolina plums to fall? from the federal tree will be that of: I collector of customs at Charleston, it! | is strongly indicated today. There j I are at least two applicants, J. O. Lee \ fy of North Charleston and L. W. C. j k Blalock of Goldville. j ^ Mr. Lee claims to have the en- j II dorsement or tne regular organizauun j & while Mr. Blalock is regarded as one ^ of the leaders *of the so-called irreg^ ^ ular organization. While there is considerable specu* lation as to appointments to other positions, it is regarded as practically certain that R. R. Tolbert of Abbeville will be made collector of ini tamoi rovpniip. Mr. Tolbert is bro *' tv A * AM* ? v ? ther to Joseph W. Tolbert, member of the republican national committee, and oldest member of that committee in point of continuous service.
