TAFT MAY NAME CHAIRMAN TO CONTROL DEBTS OWED BY RUSSIA Will Be Asked to Appoint Head of i Mixed Tribunal?Plan Arranged ^ at Genoa Conference \ Genoa, May 1.?Chief Justice Taft of the United States supreme court will be asked to name the chairman fV>Q ovKitml rnmmittee to be FVJL lii V Ui w estbalished for controlling the debts owed by the Russian government to foerign bondholders, according to the plan arranged today. The other members of this commission will represent all the bondholders and the Russian government, respectively. The commission wili have power to remit interest and decide all questions affecting foreign bondholders and Russia's ability to meet her obligations; a time limit will be fixed in which bondholders may make their own arrangements with the Russian government, if they desire. Mixed arbitral tribunals, one for every interested nation, will be set up to deal with tt:e question* of the property of foreigners which has been nationalized; the chairman of each will be named by the chairman of the mixed arbitral commission. In the plan adopted practically everything which savored of Capitulations or infringement on Russia's sovereignty was waived. The French suggestion that a provisional administration, pending Russia's establishment of courts on the basis desired by western Europe, was not approved. Labor day was a real labor day for the Genoa conference. The subcommission on Russian affairs rushed its consideration of the Russian recon struction plans and came through late tonight with approval of the draft of the proposals. These will be considered again tomorrow for the purpose of final editing and 'will probably be sent immediately, to the Russian delegation. Belgium alone held out on the section relating to the treatment to be given to the property of foreigners nationalized by the Soviet government. This is a vital point in the proposals and has been stubbornly contested. France finally subsciriQed to. the project proposed by Great Britain, whereby the use of the property will be' restored, 'wlferever possible and in other cases compensation will be arranged through mixed arbitral tribunals/ -' v Belgium stood firmly for the prin Cipie Oi. it;si-2Luuivuj <1. i u ?mi, ?n ord as protesting, declaring that the vested interests of Blegians in property in Russia amounts to 100,000,000 pounds and that Belgians will never again invest in Russia unless restitution is made. s In the discussion relating to the treatmet of foreigners, the administartion of justice and the general liberty of foreigners travel and engage in enterprises in Russia, it was decided to abandon these sections of the London experts' report which referred to certain measures whereby the immediate restoration of Russia would be facilitated. Among the provisions in this report thus given up <* + rannir-intr tVi o r*r?n?u1 nf a woo i-xiaw j. tvj uu aa*fc> vnv wtiwvt* v- ? foreign country to ratify the decision in a criminal case effecting the citizen of the consul's country before such decision would be carried out. The delegates agreed today that such a measure would be a distinct violation of Russia's sovereignty. 'Similarly' it was agreed that the suggestion to indst upon exceptional treatment and protection for foreign workmen in Russia and Russian workmen employed bv foreign companies would be unjust in its operation and harmful to the liberty of the trades union movement not only in Russia but throughout the world. r!nnrprn>"ncr thp p-pnpral nuestion of the treatment of foreigners a paragraph was inserted setting forth that inasmuch as proper restitution of Russia depends upon the reestablishment of freedom of movement and honest and equitable administration of justice the Russian government promises to undertake the establishment of these conditions immediately. Washington, May 1.?The American government stands unshaken in its determination that Russia must put her own house in order before she can expect political recognition by the United States. Making his first statement of policy regarding Russian affairs since the subject came to the fore at Genoa, Secretary Hughes today told a delegation of women at the state department that before any outsider could resume full relations with Russia she must herself adopt a policy of sound international reconstruction. He added that the American people were anxious to do ail they could but would not attempt to extend credit whore there was no sound basis for I ; credit. j No particular form of government 'was cited as desirable or undesirable ! by the secretary nor did he mention any o? the developments which have influenced the fortunes of the Soviet j since the Genoa conference began. 1 He did suggest, however, that the I principle of self-government in Rus ? ~ f r?l l/?o f nrl" Kv SUl wiir> suiuirn nat uuuij'in.?w^ u,, i the efforts of some Soviet officials to ' interfere in the domestic affairs of j other nations. ! The delegation to which the secre; tary addressed his pronouncement i represented the International League I for Peace and Freedom and had : brought to the state department a ! petition for full political recognition i of the Soviet regime. COLEMAN WILL BE COLUMBIA'S MAYOR Defeats Richardson in Second Race Over rive Hundred Votes? Heavy Balloting | ? The State. 3. j | W. A. f >leman carried eight-boxes | in four wards yesterday and won the race as the Democratic nominee for j mayor of Columbia over John W. , Richardson by a plurality of 511 i votes. Coleman polled 2,540 votes | against 2,029 for Richardson. Cole; man gained 400 votes in the second primary while Richardson showed a gain of 75. j Moffatt B. DuPree led the race for | council and crossed the tape with j 3,064 votes to his credit. Sam L. {Sweeney ran1 second, having polled j 2,549 votes. L. N. Drake came third j with 2,012 and R. J. Person tailed } the ticket with 1,466 ballots in his ! column. i Mayor Blalock, Councilman Cole-' man and Councilman Rice will have served their four year terms on May 16 and the newly elected city officials will be entitled to take their seats on and after that date. Wins Exciting Contest W. A. Coleman won the race for mayor yesterday after having engineered the most interesting and exciting campaign in the history of city politics. The Richardson forces vera ( lined up for a strong fight and the j campaign waxed warm. Much was spoken and written during the last; several,.weeks and the candidates in-' iulged, freely in the use of printers' ink. Enthusiastic supporters of Mayorelect Coleman secured Yarborough's Dand and left the city hall to serenade the victor. He ahiTCouncilmenelect DuPree and Sweeney were heard. 'Record Breaking Vote Seven wards polled the largest percentage of votes yesterday'^ver reported in Columbia. The vote in the first primary totalled 4,414 against 4,569 for the second race. The total nnmhpr of Qualified electors was 4, 993. The lame and the sick, the rich and the poor, the high and the low,' all managed to get to the polls- yesterday. It was evident early yesterday morning that the candidates were prepared to roundup every voter in fthe city that could walk or ride. City officers stood around the polling precincts and the best of order prevailed. With more than 4,500 voters casting ballots in eight wards, hundreds of men rolling here and there in motor cars and scores of friends and supporters of candidates "roostj ing'' around the polls, no sign of dis order was ii\ evidence and in conse-. I quence the police had nothing to do ! but stand and look on. No clashes j of any sort occurred during the day. Women SHow Jnterest i Columbia women grasped the first j opportunity to vote and played a ; prominent part in the first and secj ond primaries to choose a mayor and j two councilmen. It is conceded on all sides that the fair sex with its voting power cast a new form for city, county and state elections. The interest of the women in the munici i pal primary aroused the men voters land ?t/rred the candidates to the limi it. The women bailotted in every I ward yesterday in large numbers, ap! proximately 2,000 scratching their | tickets like veteran politicians. Coleman carried four wards and | Richardson took four. The Coleman ; wards were heavy voting precincts ! and two of the Richardson districts ! were the smaller ones. Ward 1 gave Coleman an extraordinary vote and sent the plurality across the 500 mark. He carried WjTii 1, Ward- 2, Ward 3 and Ward 6, while Ward 4, Ward 5, Ward 7 and Ward 8 went ! over to the Richardson column. The man who lost his eyesight by i drinking bootleg liquor can now see ' his mistake. A machine has been invented that shuffles and deals cards. Does it also feed the kitty? There seems to be a growing suspi, cion that the bootleggers are not paying their share of the income tax. [adelphian class meets at baptist churc1 Prof. Jas. c.

PEACH BULLETIN PROVES HELPFUJ The State, 2. Among the conspicuous needs o: <the peach industry today are stan dard grades and more careful atten ,tior< to the harvesting, handling &"ri< packing of the fruit. Each year larg numbers of shipments are received ii ^the consuming centers of the countr Vh-ich, on account of immaturity o (improper methods of grading an< handling, are sold at prices that rep resent severe losses to the shippers The situation is rendered even mori serious because the presence of poo fruit on the market weakens the con fidence of the consuming public an ,so aff^ts the sale of the good stocl as well. In a new publication, Farmers' Bui letin 1266, entitled "Preparation o Peaches for Market," just issued b: the United States department of ag riculture, H. W. Samson, specialist ii standardization, describes the met)" ods of preparing the peach crop fo: market which have been .used sue cessfully under various conditions The information has been gathere< from practically all parts of the coun try where peaches are grown com cially. For several yean; the departmen has conducted studies looking tovvar the establishbment cf a uniform star dard of.grades for peaches, but ai parentlv no satisfactory basis coul be formulated without changing th system of grading now in use by th trade.

Farmer Must Change His System of Farming From Old Rigid Cotton System A I It is a universal fact that the Sou- j J ; thorn farmer must change his system ! il of farming from the old rigid cotton if system to a more diversified one; > branching out into a new field which d ' promises a wider range of crops and a more continual income in all s months of the year utilizing live ; stock through which to sell those .'crops. The extension departments of s the state departments of agriculture s'are advocating this, seeing in it a : t more stable prosperity for the sou-, _ thern farmer. True, cotton always j will be the cash crop of the South,: j' and rightfully should be, the point t j being that it is not the only source of. - l'nr-r.mo and where one thing fails e(-?-r f there may be another to fall back on. , I In this new capacity the dairy cow . i plays a large part. Considering that ^! through the sale of cream the dairy n'cow will return a steady income of rj approximately $45.00 per month e I from only 10 gallons of milk per day, J f'leaving all the skim milk, manure,! /calves and varied forms of dairy ; foods for the daily meals, she necesy'sarily can not be overlooked and of-. 1 fers a real hope, dewberry is soon J to have a creamery through which the 0 1 farmer can dispose of his butter fat. | There will also be a poultry plant in i connection offering a sale for poulk ' try and eggs?one' of 'the most pro-, fitable by-products of the dairy cow: ' ar, skim milk is mc&t profitably fed +A nrmlfrv ap.d hoi!^. _ j ??J ^ s t Looking at the fact that the farm^ er has the cows or wishes to purchase a few and the fact that a market for 'i cream is about to be established there e is only one remaining: factor?the i consideration of which can not be dis-; (regarded, farmers must grow their j c feed at home. It is folly to think of e hauling the cream- to the creamery; and getting a ' check to buy feed to i . haul bacK to feed the cows. The farmer who contemplates this must do , it conscious, or unconscious of the ; fact that no profit* will be the result. ! The way around fhis problem is sim'ple. Grow those 'f?eds at home. No --- x -"LI ".country was ever more suiiauiy j adapted to the grt)wing of proper 'feeds which may^ balanced into a ^ good dairy ration ?han the South and " more specifically ,fSouth Carolina or even Newberry county. To produce butter-fat the coW must be fed suite able feeds and all jstiitable feeds can 1 , be grown at home! ^:! In answer to the question, "What M / . feeds must I grow?" there is this to offer. There mustj "be a legume hay.! " j That may be of a'lVy of the clovers, alfalfa, vetch andi oats, soy beans,, e sorghum any or any grass hay. There r must be grains, sifch* ?s corn, oats, I velvet beans, cow $eas, soy <beans and ^ cotton seed meal. Finally pastures c I for the summer ninths must not be j overlooked. Pastures need attention " just as any other crop, then silage is j f the best succulent feed known to the ; f dairy industry and if a man has 10 : " j or more cows a silo is indispensible.! 1 ; Green pasture crops are also of great l~ importance and the farmers well j r know the value to land when green! crops .are grazed, and no animal sub-j ' mits more profitably to the grazing d of good pastures and green crops than j l". the dairy cow. -| " { Finally the farrher must, learn to have his cow come fresh in tv2 fall j I I t of the year?thus avoiding the dry, d hot months and fields of late summer.: i- The dairy cow is an interesting ani-1 )- wal and responds to good treatment, d more quickly than any other animal e and at the same time defies any anie mal to respond to that sort of treate, ment with more profitable returns, a The dairy cow is conducive to a diver-1 1- sified system of farming and to the i- slogan of "live at Home." No human t, food has ever been devised to take o the place of the natural product of k the dairy cow?milk and its products. The dairy extension force of Clemson y college, cooperating with Mr. T. M. d Mills, county agent, and the business g men of Newberry, together with the y officials of the creamery and the ?, chamber of commerce are planning a >. dairy campaign of the county in cotii nection with the creamery soon. Fari, mers are urged to take advantage of i- the information that will be given at it that time on dairy products. !

COURT DISMISSES | GAPPINS' APPEAL. I . I Chief Justice Says Trifhni* With; Courts Must Be Stopped or Will Take Action The State, 3. The supreme court yesterday (lis- J missed the appeal of Jesse Gappins, " " iv-n fril_ j one ot tne r>ra/.eu muiuti ?,nv, , lowing1 the motion in the morning by j Solicitor Callison in open court for aj dismissal. The court dismissed the appeal for lack of merit, and in the | course of the hearing Chief Justice Gary heavily scored lawyers for what lie termed as apparent trifling with the courts. Under Rule 30 the court can dismiss appeals where no merit exists and it was under this rule that Solicitor Callison made his motion in the morning. The order dismising the appeal says that everything that an officer should do is presumed to have been done unless proved otherwis. This was in reerard to the sole plea of Gappins for a new trial on the grounds that the grand jury which indicted him was not sworn, so far as the minutes of the court showed. A motion to quash tKe indictment w'ould have been in order on these grounds, the court says, but no gronuds for an appeal are contained on such a plua. In dismissing the appeal the court orders the remittitur sent to the clerk of court of Lexington in order that a new day may be set for the carrying out of the death sentence of the lower court. The appeals of S. J. Kirby and C. O Fnv tVio nthr r members of the Brazell murder trio, have never been !? completed and it is understood that Solicitor Callison will move for a dismissal of these alleged appeals before the May term of the court of general sessions court at Lexington.
