The inquiry, Senator Smith ai(l, was propose(l because of the tobacco market situation. Buyers are refus ing to take portions of the ne(w crop1, he said, althour Ih manufactured tobac co in some maitiumees is at its high mark in prices. The investigation would dleal both with the growing, marketing and mnanufacturing condi tions. . The Federal Trade Coinimission was 'directed, under a resolution adoptedl today by the Senate to investigate conditions of the tobac co tr ade, in cluding prices to lprodlucers Ond con sumers. Senato'r Snrith, Democrat, South Carolina, author of the resolution, toldl the dengte that there was no market at all for tobacco of the same gradles and farmers, he addedl, were using the tobacco for fertilizer. On the other hand, Senator Smith said prices of cigars, and cigarettes were at "their war-tirte peak."

My dear Mr. Lanham: I have been vry much interested in your letter of the 1st Instant with re gard .to conditions prevailing in your territory which are, I think, merely typical of those in most parts of the South. Bad as conditions are, I thoroughly agree with you that whilst our peo rCe need credit and extension they certainly do not need charity bejng neither beggars nor mendicants. To a people who could surmount and re pair the absolute deyastation and ruin of the South which followed the Civil War, I am convinced that the present bad times must be merely temporary and' their indominatable spirit and courage and determination will again bring prosperity. With kindest regards, I am, Yours very truly, W. Turner Logan. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Godwin are spending sometime with relatives and friends in Lake City.

L.1latchell, aged 25, a taxicab driver of Colum bia, was fatally injured here this af ternoon at 3:30 o'clock by Mrs. Lessie Wright, a young white woman, by being shot through the abdomen from a rev'olver. 'I he young woman and the oily three eye-witnesses claim that the shot was accidental. Mr'. 'Wright is being held pending the cor oner's investigation. It appears that latchell, T. D. Mitchell, Jr., J. M. and A. M. Stokes had started to Lexington in Mr. Stoke's car. Just before the party reached the bridge crossing Congaree iver on Gervais street, this city, it developed thit Ilatchell did not have a pistol. Ile tried to buy one, said the other members of the party, from a policemiani, who would not let him have it. According to Mr. Mitchell, Mirs. Wright was passing at that time and Hatc'hell, who knew hier, say a pistol, it, is said, in the pocket of her apron. "ILes ic," he is reported to have said, "I.et me have that pistol." She re fused his request, statedl Messrs. Mitchell and Smith, saying that she h:l it to shoot a man. The party then got into the machine anid Ioceede(d about block, the young woman 1w'alking along the sidewalk keeping pace with the car. Hatchell then rene'wed his request and Mrs. Wright refused again, it is Illeged, stating, hawover that she had i companion weapon. A fter this, they 'aid, HIatchell got out of the ear, mak ing the stat.ement that he was going to take the weapon. The Wvitnesses sar that the young woman and Hlatche'll struggled for the gun a few minutes when it was disc'ha rged. HlatchellI stag ger'ed back.

Appelt, Editer, The Manning Times, . Manning, S. C. My dear Mr. Appelt: With reference to the Sunday d]is tribution of mail at Manning which I have been endeavoring to secure fol lowing out the- suggestion which I saw in your paper, I enclose a copy of letters on the subject fromt the First, Assistant Postmaster General and the Acting Postmaster General at Mann ig. If the statements made by the Act ing Postmaster ;1re not correct and you are still inte'rested and can give me any additional information I will be most pleased to submit it to the Department. With kindest personal regards, I am, Yours very truly, W. Turner Logan. August 5, 1921. Ilon. W. Turner Logana, House of Representatives, My dear 1ir. Logan: With'reference to my letter of Juie 21, advising you that the question of having a Sunday (listribution of mail made at lanning, South Carolina, I wish. to inform you that this investi gation has been comlipleted. I find that mail reeeived on Sunday morning is at present being distrib uted to lock boxes. It. does not ap pear that a distribution of the night mail is necessary. Furthermore, if suah distribution is made, it will re Juire additional auxiliary clerk hire which I do not believe would be justi fied. If you have any further infor mation wiich shows the necessity for this service, I shall be glad to give the matter further consideration. In accordance with your request, I a m iclosima . a copy of a letter from the postmaster dated Jiue 24, 1921. Sincerely yo urs, (Signed ) u: ubert Work, 'irs! Assistant Postmaster Gen. United States Postollice Mannling, S. C., June 24, 1921 lion. Ilubert Work, First Assistant Postmaster General, Wash ington, ). C. Dear Sir: In Re Sunday Night Mails In answer to yours recent date I beg to state that owing to lhe fact that I have only been ,postiaster here for the past (itlt days, I am not in a position to e-ive in full the deta ils in reglard -to the dispatch and (list ri bution of Sunday night mails, but in my personal opinion and from obser vation I do not see any good reason why these mails shouzld be handled. Personally I was not inconven iencedv by this before I enterd the Aerv ice. .The dispatch and distribution of this mail was discont itued about a1 year ago and I have been informed that the Chief Clerk in this division made an in vestigat ion anad had it dis continued. Also, I vish to state that a great deal of the mail received here for ulis tribution on Sunday morning remains in the lock boxes unatil the following morning and in Ohe handling of the Sunday morning mail it requires the services of twvo regular ilerks for albout two hours and in the ('veilt of the handling of a night mail it would require two alditional hours. I cannot see where there is an ad vanltage of handlling this mail because in evenit of' any business letters they could not be attended to until the fol lowimig morning, and this mail reaches here the following morning in time to be at tended to and dispatched on train 46 carrying lock pouch to Wash ingt on and Charleston Train 79 at Lanes, S. C. at 10:1(0 a. m. Ifoping this to be sat is factory, V ery res pet'( fully, (Signedl): (':ny Smith, Acting Post mast er. Tlhe abhove let ters arae self expIlana-. tory, andl in behalIf of (Congressman ILogan, we prinat them to .showv the paotruns of the Manning post oflice a nd, his c'onst it utts in generalI that he is looking to their interest. We feel sure that all buiess( ('onerns of Manng will agree withI us that by not being able eit her to send ma i away .or to r'eceive' mail on Sumndla amgh t is very inconvenient. We not'e that ,postmaster Sm ithI says he was not meconvemncedl before he entered the service. Maybe he wasnt't, hut we have hearid dozens of comnphlaints from all classes and ennec ially busi ness pecople. Mr. Smith also states that "'Sunday nigh t's mail reaches here the following morning in time to lbe attended to anild dispa tchedI on trmain 40~ 'arry ing lock pouch to Washington ail Charleston tra in 79 at Lanes at. t):I0 a., m." We do not agree with Mr. Smith. Granting No. 4(1 takes mail, it is almost impossible for any one to get his mtail oin Monday morn-. ing and get the reply ofl' on No. 416 before the carrier leaves the postoitce for the dlepot. We have been told that the Sundlay evening mail is car' riedI through to Charleston and br'ought baick on 52 Monday morning. Now if this be the case that makds two mailes to be distr'ibutedl at one time. Mr. Smith also states that "it takes twvo regular' clerks about two hours, to handle the r'egular Sunday morming n'ail, and in the ''vent of the handling of a night mail it would r'e quire two additional hiours.'' Now, if it takes two clerks two hours to handle the moi'ning mail ,and there is only one hour ail thirty minutes betwveen the actual schedule time of train 52 and train 413, we wotild like to know howv anyone could get a letter on CLARENDON COUJNTY PEOPL lAKE NOTICE The folQvi ng clipping from editor ial columns of Augusta, Ga., Chronicle really talks out loud(: Tei Chronicle has received an a(I vertisement, clipped fro mthe Barn well (S.

FARM NOTES OF INTESEST BY THE COUNTY AGENT Now is the time to be planning for your winter cover and grazing crops. Decide what you are going to plant in this line and make arrangements to get Your seed. Possibly you ell buy them co-operatively and save some thing on the cost ->f the seed. Some of the farmers have already spoken to me about locating seed for them)), and helping, them with the planting of some of these Crops that they have not yet grown. It is an assured fact that we must use still less commerc-ial fertilizers if we are to be able to continue in the farming business. Yet we can not af ford to have our yields materially re duced. The use of winter cover crops which preventing washing and leach ing durine;. the winter and that add itrogen and humus to your soils will go al on gwvay toward reducing the fertilizer hill without reducing the yield. Did you ever see a poor piece of land that was well supplied Nyith hu mus ? I dare say no. When you see land that has plenty of humus in it, you see a rich soil. Abruzzi rye, oats or vetch and oats, burr clover and t-rimson (lover are some Iof the best cover crops. The clovers of course have the advallntage of being legumes and therefore add nitrojenei to the soil. On the other hand they are probably not as sure Crops as are the small grains. On some of the clay soils in certain parts of the county, I believe that crimson clover would grow -well. If I can help you in getting the seed or with startine any of these crops, pleasc feel free to call onl me. [log Foeding and Marketing - Experimelits at about twelve or fourteen experiment stations in tle South and West clearly show that when corn alone is fed to average hogs it. requires Oil the average r)80 nounds of corn to make 1010 a of gain. That is alnjoxim11ately 10 bus'ls Of corn produdce 100 pound., of hog. WVhre a balanced ration is fed tiu: amount. of corn necessary to make 100 pounds Of gailn i* gl'(ratly reduced, and the cost of thi; gain is likewise reduced. The Nebraska Stiation found that pigs on a straight corn ration ro <fuired 583 pounds for 100( poullils gailn, while pigs fed a ration of nine tenths corn and one-tenith tankage re quired 446 poullnds of corn and 51 p1)ounds of tank-ige fI'r 10f0 polinds trail1. Ma)n oth1r1' xpe'iment stat iolns, have ohtainlid similar r'sults.
