SetionOnecion One .Wages toSEPTEMBER 7,a1921to VOL. XLI MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1921 T Q HARDING IS PL[ASLD WITH ADMINISTRAION President in Letter to Senator McCor mick Reviews Achievements of Congregs With Much Satisfaction -Praise for Republicans In Com munication From White House. Washington, Sept. 6.--President Harding in a letter reviewing the achievements ' to date of the Repub lican administration, particularly with reference to congress, declares that "surveying the national situa tion as a whole, it is plain that we nre working our way out of a welter of waste and prodigal spending at a most impressive rate." The letter, made public today, was written by the president under date of August 29 to Senator McCormick of Illinois, and, it is understood, will be used in the campaign in New Mexico, where Senator Bursum, ap pointed to fill out the unexpired term of Secretary of Interior Fall, is a candidate for election. The letter, it also is understood, is considered by Republican leaders as a reply to attacks on the legislative record of the Republican congress by Chair man White of the Democratic na tional committee and other leading Democrats. "We have made progress towards retrenchment and greatly increased efficiency," the president asserts. "I can not but account it a monumental accomplishment which has marked the work of the extraordinary s sion down to the time of its recess." Looking to the future, Mr. Hard ing in his letter expresses the con fident hope that congress after the recess and before the end of the ex traordinary session will "adopt bothl the tariff and taxation measures and that along with these it will pass the bill to permit funding the debt owedi us by foreign governments." "This, I hope," the president adds, "will shortl yb e followed by arrange ments under which the debtor na tions will begin paying interest on. their obligations. Likewise, I am! confident that the bill faciliting the funding of the debt of railways to the United States will become law during the extraordinary session, thus insuring a large and immediate. demand for employment of men now idle." The president in beginning his let ter expressed thanks to Senator Mc Cormick of the Illinois senator's con-| gratulations on the accomplishments of the administration, as expre!ssed in a letter addressed to the pre,*dent un der (late of August 24. The Republican congress preceding the advent of the present administra tion is credited by Mr. Harding withi having "patiently and assiduously la bored to reduce expenditures," with I a result "which we can summarize in the statement that -the appropriations for the current fiscal year will aggre gate of $4,250,000,000 an(l that this is $750,000,000 less than the expendi tures for the previous fiscal year." The president after reciting as ex travagances incident to the war" the expenditure of $3,500,000,000 by the shipping board, between $5,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000 for aircraft, artil lery and ammunition, and between $1,250,000,000 and $1,500,000,000 for the railroad administration. adds. "It is gratifying to be able to say, therefore, that probably no other government in the world has dur ing a similar period so drastically reduced expenditures as has the gov ernmient of the United States during the past two years on the insistence of the Republican congress. More over, I am happy to assure you that the administration departments are now in full sympathy with the )Io gram of rigorous and unremitting economy, through which, I beneve, we will be able (luring the next year to turn back into the treasury so large a sum that the aggregate of taxation may be reduced to $3,500, 000,000 a year. 'Half the present total expendli tures of the government arises from wars, of the past. Similar b~urdens aeimposed upjoni the taxpayer of other countries, and a wvell nigh uni versal protest against a p)ossible. repietition of gigantic conflicts gives rise to the common hope that the conference in November may lighten the burdens of both armament and taxation, not only for this but for other lands. "Almost without exception the gov ernments of other countries are facedl with great deficits -.. -.. We must not overestimate our good fortune and the prudence of our congress wvhich permit~s us to b~aiance revenue and expendliture at n time whena dleficits are the rule throughout the world. We shall h~e greatly aidedl in a policy of progressively reduc ing evpenditure by the budget law, Republican in origin, dlesign, enact ment. andI execution . . . . 1 (do not hiestate to say that ini o'rdinary times it alone would have been considleredl a highly credlitable chief product of a year's legislative program. Yet in a time of such legislative activity an the present it is only one among many measures of the first import anco to be enactedl. It was quickly fol lowved by the enactment of the immigration law, calculatedl both to limit the influx of population d urig a period of depression andl to hasten the day wvhen we may effect the true Anericanizationi of all new comers to our shores. "The series of measures looking. to the amelioration of conditions in I the great agricultural industries would( in other times have constitutedl a strikime lvislaiv productwo a . MINERS KILLED IN'EARLY FIRING Two Bodies Taken to Charleston Coal Field of West Virginia is So Quiet That Some Troops Will Leave Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 6.-The bodies of two coal miners, said to have bee) killed in last week's firing in the vicinity of the boone-Logan county line, were brought to Charles ton today. Members of a committee in charge of the bodies gave the names of the dead as Dewey Bryant, Lynchburg, Va., and Keener Williamson, Hen rietta, Ky. Both men, it was said, were formerly employed at the Jo chin, W. Va., plants. West Virgini.'s coal fields were reported quiet tonight at the offices of Governor Morgan. It was de clared that no indications of renewed r'fle firing in the recently disturbed region had been received (luring, the day. Quiet has likewise returned to Mingo county, where firing- across the Tug river from the Kentucky side took place last week, it was said. War department orders were re ceived at the headquarters of Brig. Gen. 11. H. Bandholtz directing the return of the Twenty-sixth infantry to its home station at Camp Dix. The Eighty-eighth aero- squadron was likewise ordered to return to Lang ley field, leaving only nlanes to act as messengera in West, Virginia. Williamson, W. Va., Sept. 6.-The cLce against 14 mmi indicted on charges growing out of the death of W. J. Ferguson, one of seven pri vate detectives killed in Matewan in May, 1920, during a clash with towns men today, was put over until tomor row on account of the failure of sonic of the attorneys to arrive here. Forty-six of 50 veniremen summoned from Pocahontas county under a law enacted by the last legislature mak ing it possible for men of one county to be called into another for jury duty, answered today's roll call in the Mingo county circuit court. From these it is hoped to obtain a jury to try the men. During last winter's term of court 700 Mingo veniremen were called be fore a jury was selected to ty those expected to go on trial tomorrow and others on an indictment charging complicity in the death of Albert C. Feltz, one of the seven who died as a result of gunshot wounds sucered during the fight. At that time all the defendants were acquitted. Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 6.-Corp. Alexander C. Hazelton ,the only sur vivor of five army aviators, who fell in the wild of Nicholas county Sat urday, was reported today by physi cians at the hospital at Montgomery a. in better condition than indicated by earlier bulletins. They declared, however, that he was not yet out of danger. A more careful diagnosis of the fier's injuries disclosed, attending physicians said, that neither leg was broken, but that internal injuries, pronounced serious but not necessa rily fatal, had causedI loss of control of the muscles of one leg. -- 0 COTTON MEETING Manning, S.

SEES OPPORTUNITY FOR DEMAGOGUES Citizen of Sunimerton Asks Why Re publican Party Can Not Inflate Quite recently the newspapera re port that Cole L. Blease has the ambition to become governor of South Carolina, and will probably make the race next summer, in order to take advantage of present eco nomic conylitions and the high rate of taxatidf. John L. McLaurin' made the charge not many months ago that Woodrow Wilson had deflated the currency for the sole purpose of electing Cox to the presidency of the United States, and even now J. S. Wannamaker is yelling on the house tops that the federal reserve board deflated the currency for the purpose of robbing the cotton growers of the South. It appears to me, in this connec tion, that the curse of the South in general, and of South Carolina in particular, has been the perennial demagogue. I do not believe that Woodrow Wilson or the Democratic party or the federal reserve board have had anything to do with present economic conditions or the deflation of the currency, because similar economic conditions as prevail in this country, also prevail in other coun tries, beyond the jurisdiction of the Tnited States, and, in fact, all over the world. It is respectfully submitted that the economic con(litions which now prevail in the United States are due to the fact that the nations of the world having ceased to engage in war, have likewise ceased to pur chase the raw products of the world, the result being that the selling price of raw products has fallen im mensely all over the world. If Wood row Wilson deflated the currency and reduced the price of raw products, why in the name of common sense can not Gamaliel Harding inflate thc currency and increase the price -of raw products? In other words, sinec the Denvcratic party had nothing tc do with the decrease in the price of raw products, for the same reason the Republican party can not increase the price of rav products. But there is a duty for the gov ernment to perform, that is to enact laws and to enforce policies which will make everybody deflate at the same time, and if we are to have de flation, then force everybody to de flate. If the price of raw tobacco prolucts is so low that the tobacco farmers can not make a decent profit, it ther becomes the duty of the government through the instrumentality of the federal trade commission, to deflate the purchasing price of cigars, ciga rettes and all other forms of manu factured tobacco. If the tobaccc farmier is compelled to deflate be cause of worldwide economic condi tions, then let the governm(,nt forde the tobacco manufacturer to deflate since if I can secure my cigars at a cheaper price, I have no serious oh. jection to selling my raw tobacc for a cheaper price. If the live stoel mian must sell his hides on a tdeflate< economic basis, then it becomes th duty of the government to force th. shoe manua facturer to sell his shoes at a dleflated price. But there is another reas;on whieh causes financial depressions fron time to time, and that is the prin ciple of action and reaction. All of us have known men who toileti hard all of their life and as n aresuIlt ac. cumulated fortutines, aonly to hav. these fortuties dissipatel d in the next generati'n 1ad the children of the rich lbecome the pauipers of succeed ig generations.

C., Sept. 6.-Only a small increase in the number of operatives at work in the cotton mills was reported this morning, fol lowing the vote taken Saturday night by union members, to return to work today. The vote Saturday night was not to determine if union members would return to work immediately, union officials state, but to determine if the strikers would return in a body, provided all old employees were given their jobs back. 4 Following the advice given by Harry Eatough, organizer, at a Labor (lay mass meeting, about 200 "ormer employees of the Gibson mill march ed to the mill gates in a body. There they were tohl that only in dividuals who had unplied to the sup erintendent for work would be ad intted. They then turned about and marched off in a bo'ly. Before leaving C -ncord James F. Barrett, president of the North Caro lina Fedreation of Labor, made pub He aln affidavit sig.ed by 75 mem bers of the textile union, addressed to Gov. Cameron Morrison, in which each affiant alleges that he was stopped by uniformed policemen with drawn billies when he report ed to the Gibson mill this morning and calling on the governor to take action to stop such discrimination on the part of the law offlicials it is alleged has been engaged in by the Concord police force. Police officers alleged that nobody who applied to the superintendent of the Gibson mill for a job was denied intrance to the mill property but that they had been instructed by the mill management to keep back all per sons who did not have jobs in the mill. Barrett stated that he had talk ed with Governor Morrison over the telephone this afternoon but he re fused to comment on the conversa tion. It was rumored that Barrett asked the Governor for troops to pro tect those persons who wanted to go back to work from the policemen but he would not confirm nor deny these rumors. The mill manageminent has made no statement but officials of the mill in.. timate that no emlployees had been kept (ut and that those personIs who have not asked for their jobs back are no longer considered eniployees of the mill. ----- --- "SIlNS''ERS PARTY" A unique "Spinsters" party was oive m honor of Mirs Beulah Wilson, a bride elect, by the Misses Appelt on Monday afternoon.
